A Hope Above the Wait

6. The flashback 2

When the Word was sitting in the courtyard of Jasmine's house, it suddenly rained down on the body of the Word. It was raining very heavily and was accompanied by thunderous lightning where. Hearing the lightning where, Jasmine who was about to fall asleep at that time immediately woke up from her sleep and walked slowly closer to the window of her room.

When he had opened the curtains that covered the window of Jasmine's room, he looked very surprised because he still saw that Firman was in the courtyard of the house by looking at Jasmine's room with sadness, but at that time he realized that Jasmine opened the curtains of his room, Word who was sitting on his knees in the yard immediately stood up from his seat and he was then seen showing a sad facial expression.

Seeing that, Jasmine who was in her room could only cry with eyes that kept looking at the Word below.

At that time Jasmine was really sad and she was tearful, looking at her husband. However, a few moments later he again closed his window curtains. Seeing that, the Word can only be silent with a sad face.

He then turned around and went to his car, when he was near the driver's seat door, Firman looked back at the room occupied by Jasmine for a while. Then he got into his car and left Jasmine's house. Jasmine who saw that, she just kept quiet with eyes that looked sad.

In the house of the Word, with sad eyes, wet and uninspired clothes. Word entered the house, saw the appearance of his son Mother Word directly approached the Word and asked many things to the Word, the Word, but at that time the Word did not say a word he was silent with empty eyes.

Realizing the strange attitude of her son, Mother Word approached the Word and stopped the Word by holding one of the Word's shoulders well.

"What's the Word?" ask the Mother of the Word. Seeing that his mother's hand was holding his shoulder, Word was silent and he shed tears from his eyes.

At that moment, he said nothing to his mother. He just kept quiet by trying to cover up his grief for making Jasmine hurt. After a few moments of silence with his back to his mother, Firman turned and looked at his mother by trying to strengthen himself so as not to look sad at the sight of his mother.

When the Word had turned around, with a head that just looked down silently without saying a word.

"What is the Word ?" ask Mother Word softly to the Word that looks shabby and sad in front of her.

The word that heard the question from his mother, he only bowed his head for a moment. After that, he looked towards his mother with eyes that held in sadness. She hugged her mother and her tears broke in her arms.

"Mom, my life is ruined now! I can't do anything without him" Firman told his mother in his arms.

"What are you talking about? Why are you saying this?" answer Mother Word when she is in the embrace of the Word. However, at that time the Word was just silent and just crying in his mother's arms.

Realizing this, Mother Word let go of her embrace and she held both arms of the Word.

"Obviously to Mom, what happened? And where's Jasmine?" said Mother Word by still holding both arms.

Hearing the remark, heavy-hearted and visibly embarrassed, Firman told his mother about what was happening in the office and at Jasmine's home. When Firman told him about the events in the office, the facial expression of Mother Word seemed to change from calm to very surprised and he could not say a word.

When the Word finished telling about the events at the office and at home, the body of the Mother Word shook, her blood boiling after hearing the words of the Word. In a pause of only a few seconds, Mother Word directly slapped the Word cheek with emotion and filled with anger.

The Word that received the slap, he just kept silent by turning his face and holding his cheek that was slapped by his mother.

"You deserve that Word. Wh why? Why would you do that? That Jasmine is a good person, but you betrayed Jasmine instead. Are you not satisfied with Jasmine until Jasmine is like that?" said Mother Word with a high tone and looks very angry.

Besides he was angry with the Word, he also looked sad to hear the story of the Word and he looked disappointed. Seeing his mother's anger, Firman looked even sadder. He let go of his hand holding his cheek and looked at his mother with his eyes filled with tears.

He then sat down before his mother with his knees bent in front of his mother and his hands folded in front of his chest. He begged his mother to help him talk to Jasmine.

"Mother, forgive the Word. Word knows the Word made a big mistake, but please help Word to talk to Jasmine!."

"No!" say Mother Word firmly and loudly. "Mother won't help you, this is your problem then you have to solve it yourself!."

After saying that, the Mother of the Word also went from before the Word. Seeing that, the Word was just silent and he did not say anything. He then got up from his seat limp and sad. When he stood up from his seat, with empty steps and sadness that continued to hit the Word. He went to his room, not saying a word.

At Jasmine's house, Jasmine was already sitting on a chair that was in front of a mirror.

At that moment he sat down with tears flowing down his cheeks.

Moments later, Jasmine's mother comes to see her. He then held onto one of Jasmine's shoulders after he realized that Jasmine was sad.

"Everything will be fine, son, everything will end well!" mother Jasmine said after she held both arms lovingly.

Realizing that, Jasmine looked at her mother with eyes filled with sadness and tears.

"Yes mother, what did you say was true? Everything that happens will be fine, I know it!" jasmine replied well and still looked sad clearly on her face.

Hearing the words from Jasmine, Mother Jasmine also hugged Jasmine tightly with a look of sadness. He then invited Jasmine to come down and have lunch.

Jasmine, who heard these words, was silent, walking slowly as she was pregnant.

In the room of the Word, the Word looks constantly daydreaming with empty eyes and sitting in the corner of the room.

His eyes look red, wet clothes due to the heavy rain that fell on his body he did not change, he just stayed by sitting on the floor as if regretting everything that happened because of his mistake.

Time changed, days changed, yet there was not the slightest bit of news about Jasmine. A feeling of worry and uneasiness continued to envelop the heart of Word, he always felt Jasmine's shadow was always around him. He always saw a shadow when Jasmine smiled, when calling the name of the Word and caressing herself.

Feeling that the shadow was always in his heart, tears after tears kept dripping. The destruction in his heart that he felt so twisted his brain that he did not know the difference between good and right and happy or sad. Only, the tears that he had filled in the heart of the Word.

"Aaaaaa" cried Firman in the room by hitting the white ceramic floor.

Hearing the cry of the Word from inside his room, the old man Firman rushed to the room of the Word and he tried to open the door of his room, but at that time the door of his room was locked from the inside.

"Firman, please... Please, please open the door. Please," said Mother Jasmine with tears flowing down her cheeks. He also kept trying to bang on the door.

Seeing the Word not open the door, he just cried at the door with a sigh.

A few moments later, the sad Word tried to cover his sadness with a flat face expression without showing any expression.

When the Word opened the door, his sad mother woke up from her seat and stopped her crying. He then stands before the Word, holding the two cheeks of the Word with the loving care of a mother.

"What's the Word? What the hell is going on?" ask Mother Word to the Word with a sad face.

"Can he forgive me mother? I want to apologize to him," replied the Word with still sadness and eyes reddened with tears.

"Give him time, Jasmine needs time to forgive you," replied the Mother of the Word with sorrowful words that only bowed her head before her.

Listening to the words the Word was silent, he then went from before his mother with a sad face. Seeing this, he was silent with sad eyes.

"The Word... Give him time, don't force him!" said Mother Word sadly and unravelled the water to see her son go without saying a word from before her.

Moments later, Firman who was in the car stopped his car in front of a house that was none other than Jasmine's house. At that time he only looked at the house with the hope that he could meet with Jasmine, but the hope that he wanted did not happen he only saw that the house looked empty.

Realizing that, Firman got out of his car and walked up to the house with an occasional look at the window covered by white curtains. Seeing that, he just kept silent with a look of sad eyes.

Just then, Jasmine who was inside her room was seen slowly opening the curtains that were in her bedroom window. When he realized that there was a car of Word in front of his house, he looked sad with a confused look, like looking for someone, and the person he was looking for was the Word.

Realizing that the Word did not exist, he closed the curtains again. Not long ago, when he had closed the curtains. Word who was currently examining Jasmine at the front door came out and changed into examining Jasmine in the courtyard by looking towards the room.

Seeing that Jasmine was not around, he just let out a long sigh and he headed back to his car without turning around and saying a word. He just lowered his head with a sad face.

When he was in the car, a sad face was clearly drawn on his face.

"Aaaaa" cried Firman by occasionally hitting the steering wheel in front of him.

At that moment he looked very sad, after realizing that Jasmine still did not want to talk to him. He just cried with his head down, he looked sorry for what he had done with Nova.

Not long after, Jasmine came out of her house with help from Jasmine's mother, realizing that Jasmine came out Firman directly down from her car and approached Jasmine with a sad face.

When he was in front of Jasmine, when everyone was silent, not least his mother, realized the arrival of the Word wanted to talk to Jasmine, Mother Word left them both.

When Jasmine's mother was gone, Firman ventured to approach Jasmine, Jasmine who realized that she did not move in the slightest she just remained silent with a look of eyes that seemed also sad.

Not long after, he invited Firman to sit on a chair that was outside the house, at that time Firman wanted to help Jasmine, Jasmine, however Jasmine rejected him and preferred to walk herself towards that chair.

"What's up here?" jasmine asked in a firm and low-pitched tone after she sat down on the chair

"I want to apologize to you Jasmine, please forgive me!."

Hearing this with a sad face and full of tears, he looked at the Word. He looked at the Word for a while without saying a word.

Suddenly Jasmine's tears dripped and flowed down her cheeks.

"Do you think, by apologizing to me, all the trouble will be over? If that's true, I forgive. But... Will the wounds you give me heal?" jasmine said with a serious tone and a look of eyes that looked extremely disappointed.

Hearing that remark, Jasmine simply kept silent and she just kept quiet without saying a word before Jasmine. Realizing this, Jasmine wakes up from her seat and asks Word to leave her home.

Realizing that the Word expelled him, without a fight he obeyed what Jasmine wanted. However, as he stood before Jasmine with sad eyes and continued to look towards Jasmine. He said in a soft tone and as if pleading with Jasmine.

"Can't you forgive me? Didn't you give me a second chance?" ask Word.

Hearing the question, without saying a word Jasmine went straight into his house and left the Word. Word who realized that, he just kept quiet, he realized that what he did would not be possible to be forgiven by Jasmine.
