A Decision

Surrender

A week later...

Hours 11.46. WIB

I'm not mad at Bimo. What Bimo said was all true, it was just that I needed time to stay on good terms with Abim. Abim was the father of Aisha and Sisil. Until whenever I have to talk about issues that have to do with children let alone regarding the future of children!

Regarding children, I will give understanding to both of them! Just like me, they also need time to be able to accept Abimanan's father.

While Abim lives with his solitude, befriended with loneliness. Without children, wives, parents or family.

His days were filled with trading to make ends meet and fill his time of solitude.

.

.

After a few days Abim went and met his parents to apologize for all his wrongs and sins. But what he got, was a rejection from Mr. Rizal.

Abim was desperate! Even to this day, Abim is reluctant to apologize again. Fear of rejection.

But her life is increasingly uneasy, as guilt continues to haunt her life.

Especially after learning of Ainun's mother's death, Abim continued to be overshadowed by the guilt of not having had time to apologize to Ainun's mother.

His sleep was getting less restful, as if mama Ainun always came in Abim's dreams while sleeping.

Finally Abim more frustrated, because haunted by fear and guilt!

Abim who was sitting on a motorcycle and stopped by the side of the road. Because his mind is not focused when riding his motorbike! He almost hit a pedestrian but luckily dodged!

At that time Bimo was crossing the road and saw Abim who was stopping by the side of the road! Finally Bimo stopped his car on the side of the road. Then get out of the car and walk towards Abim.

"Assynnya!" Sapa Bimo on Abim whose face looks chaotic.

"Glamma!" Sahut Abim and turned his face towards Bimo who was standing!

Bimo advances his right hand to shake hands with Abim.

Then Abim got off the bike and stood up. And the two shook hands!

"Is Abim okay?" Ask Bimo.

"As you can see, am I okay or not?"

"How about we talk for a minute!"

Bimo invites Abim to speak. The two of them walked together to find a seat nearby.

They were sitting in chairs under shady trees. Then Bimo started his conversation first.

"What's wrong with Abim? Looks like Mr Abim today is less excited?"

"I was rejected by my father! Every night I also dream about mama Ainun. Actually I regret and want to apologize, but because of your refusal to me. I wonder if all my mistakes can be forgiven. I honestly continue to be overshadowed by guilt every day. To the children, Manda, my father!"

Bimo listened to what Abim said to him! What a shame Abim's fate really is. But all of this was the result of his past actions. Now he accepts all the consequences of his actions.

"If it is true Mr. Abim regrets and wants to apologize sincerely. You should not give up on the rejection of them all. Because here is the test. Strong is not Mr. Abim undergo trials like this!"

Abim listened to Bimo. Abim's head just lowered. Is his brain thinking about whether to go forward or back? But he was not ready to be rejected again!

Abim is in desperate need of support. Support to give him the spirit to stay ahead in the path of truth! But everyone he loves

"Yes, I listened to what you just said. But try to have your position on me! Would you do the same? It's not all that easy!"

"I've never felt what you feel! But I understand how you feel! It's not all that easy. But would you just give up! That means you don't really mean to apologize!" Bimo said so that Abim did not give up easily.

"Yahoooooooo!" Shouted Abim frustrated.

"Come with me! Let your heart calm down"

Bimo stood up and walked towards the mosque which was not far from where he stood.

Abim followed Bimo's footsteps from behind.

When he arrived at the mosque, Abim bentung. Why should Bimo take Abim to the mosque.

"Sir Abim sorry, if you don't mind. Will you take ablution there."

"For what?"

"Sholat sir, it's dzuhur prayer time! Maybe with your heart prayers, so be calmer! Pray for your late mother!"

Abim according to. Because what Bimo said is true.

Abim walked towards the back. There Abim took ablution. Bimo also took ablution.

Adzan Dzuhur reverberated, the sound of Adhan was so clear until it was infinite. People come one by one to perform congregational prayers in the mosque.

Abim and Bimo entered the mosque. Abim and Bimo sat on a prayer mat and were ready to pray.

****

After the prayer Abim and Bimo walk out the mosque together. Then the two went back to where they were.

"Sorry Mr. Abim. I can't accompany you here anymore. Sorry if my words, less pleasing to the father. Again I am sorry! Just one piece of advice, don't give up!"

"Why are you so good to me. When others keep me away, but you come like an angel! It even gives me the courage to keep going! If I think this is the ex-husband of your wife now! Are you not jealous if I am close to your children or your wife?"

Bimo smile... What Abim said is true.. If there is a problem of jealousy, Abim is the real father of Sisil and Aisyah! There will be something Abim and I have to talk about about the children!

"I trust fully in my wife and about me being kind to you. Because I don't want to, if you're sorry after your death to pick you up at your last."

Isdeg..

Abim who heard, for a moment his heart became stirred. What Abim said is true.

O God, please strengthen me and incline my heart. So that I can apologize to the people I have hurt! Inner Abim.

"Thank you for being nice to me." Abim Speak.

"Either. Then excuse me! Assalamualaikum!" Sahut Bimo, then go and leave Abim alone.

Abim quickly climbed into the dirt. Then he drove his motorbike towards the house of Rizal sir.

This time Abim was excited! Not like that.

He continued to ride his bike at high speed! Just stop at the red light. Then it drove back very quickly!

Hopefully Abim's intention can be fulfilled and can re-assemble with Mr. Rizal who is now his own life.
