About Taste

A Step Toward Kindness

"I'm sorry, I really didn't think it was my son" Andra said, staring at Ella.

"Why apologize to me, apologize to Saints, as well as to those you have hurt. Even though they are not pregnant, but if you take their chastity, their future will be destroyed by Ndra. Moreover, Holy, he has you hamili, and you just leave it. Where is your conscience Ndra, you are such a coward!" ella shouted while looking at Andra sharply.

"Honey calm down, let me talk to her" Kairi said, wiping Ella's arm.

Ella let out a long sigh, and exhaled it violently.

"Now what are you going to do Ndra?" kairi asked while sitting next to Andra.

"I don't know yet either, but obviously, I will try to always be there for the Saints. Maybe Ella is right, I have to learn to love her." replied Andra with a long sigh.

"It's not possible, but it should be. You must learn to love him. You think it's easy to endure all that alone. It must be hard, it must be heavy Ndra." said Ella with a still high tone.

"I let Mama down again, it seems like this time Mama can't forgive me" Andra said slowly.

"That's not true Ndra, Mama just needs time to calm down. This fact was too shocking for Mama. You have a child, and you only know after all these years, when that child is gone. Promise to change Ndra, strive to become a better person. Mama will definitely forgive you" Kairi said as she patted Andra on the shoulder.

"Mama used to demand that I be the greatest, so that I wouldn't lose to Kairi. But in fact, I was very different from him. I'm this bad, and he's that good, and there's almost no blemish in him. Mama must have been very disappointed in me." Andra said in her heart.

"Thank you, I'll talk to Mama later" Andra said as she moved away from her seat. He steps away from Ella, and Kairi. He kept walking to his room.

"Is this what got Andra kicked out of school?" kairi asked as she flicked the sheet of paper she was holding.

"Yes, I didn't think he was that bad. If only I knew, if that child was really Andra's son, I would definitely make him responsible" Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"You used to love her, so everything she had you thought was good." teased Kairi while chuckling. Looking at his wife's pouting face, Kairi was very itchy to tease her.

"I don't want to joke Kai. Moreover, the joke is not funny." Ella grumbled with annoyance.

"You're getting prettier, if you're upset like this" Kairi said, embracing his wife.

"The more days you're better at seducing Kai" Ella said without turning her head.

"Just to you baby." whispered Kairi right in Ella's ear.

"Don't be like this Kai, amused" Ella said as Kairi's hand dropped to her waist, and rubbed it gently.

"I want it baby, to the yuk room." whispered Kairi while kissing Ella's neck.

"Kai, the atmosphere is precarious, you even invite me to do it. Now everything is panicking, and it's messing with Kai." said Ella, holding Kairi's hand.

"We're panicking too, baby, and this is my way of calming your panic. Look, now you're pouting. I should try to make you smile." Kairi said as she brought her face closer. Now that their distance had been eroded away, their breaths warmed to each other sweeping across each other's faces.

"Kai, don't be like this here" said Ella trying to avoid Kairi who was about to kiss her lips.

"To the room ya." Kairi said with a smile.

Ella answered him with a nod. And Kairi widened her smile even more, when Ella had already agreed to her wish.

"You walk alone, or ride in my arms?" goda Kairi rubbed Ella's cheek.

"So move! I can walk on my own!" grumbling Ella as she moved from her seat, she moved her legs a little faster.

"You're impatient baby, look, even now you've left me" Kairi said from behind Ella.

"Shut up or I change my mind!" snarled Ella while turning her body.

"All right I'll shut up." Kairi replied with a chuckle.

Ella looked at him with great annoyance.

"Smile, I'll give you something sweet" Kairi said, clutching Ella's waist, and landing a brief kiss on her lips.

"I don't like the sweet." said Ella still without a smile.

"I know, because you prefer the hot." teased Kairi while letting go of her embrace. He walked away from Ella laughing.

"You're a bitch Kai!" ella shouted as she chased after Kairi who had already walked up the stairs.

Soon, they arrived in the room. Kairi was still with her laughter, while Ella, she looked at her husband with increasingly maniacal lips.

"Not funny Kai!" snarled Ella while sitting on the sofa.

"Funny darling."

"As far as you are" Ella said in annoyance.

Kairi did not answer, but he approached his wife who was sitting while folding her hands. Kairi sat next to him, and he grabbed his wife's face. Now they are facing each other, at a very close distance. And Kairi even closer his face, until there is no more pause between the two.

"It seems like we've never done it on the couch baby, how about we try it now" Kairi said with a slanted smile. Her hand had rubbed everywhere, making Ella could no longer resist her husband's wishes.

Ella closed her eyes, as Kairi began to play her lips. His hand gripped Kairi's arm tightly, ahh this man always managed to make him helpless. And before long, Ella's face warmed up as Kairi whispered something in her ear.

"I want to take a moment, baby you're on top." whispered Kairi.

"Kairi.." cried Ella in her heart.

The hour hand showed at 08:00 p.m. Ms. Mirna and Mr. Louis are still in her room. Ms. Mirna cried as she pleased, I don't know how much tissue she spent wiping her tears. Miss Mirna dissolved in her regret. Andra's presence was due to a mistake, the child was there because of an illicit relationship. And after growing up, Andra became the greatest test of her life.

"Is this karma to me. I used to tarnish my marriage, by having an illicit relationship with another man. Andra is now a test in my life. He abandoned his flesh and blood, and now his flesh is gone. O Allah, may you forgive his sins, as well as mine. Forgive me O Allah" said Miss Mirna in her heart.

"Have it, don't cry. All problems must have a way out" said Mr. Louis, wiping Ms. Mirna's arm.

"I'm sorry Mas, I'm sorry" said Ms Mirna, leaning her head against her husband's chest.

"There is no need to apologize Ma, Andra is also my son" Mr. Louis said, hugging Ms. Mirna tightly.

"I don't think I can forgive him Mas." said Ms. Mirna, still crying.

"Don't talk like that, he's your son, your flesh and blood. You have to forgive him, no matter how much he is wrong. Remember Mirna is not all sinners, it has no future. Give him support and give him confidence. As time goes on, he will definitely change into a better person. Trust me." said Mr. Louis, tightening his arms.

"I was wrong to betray you, Mom, I don't know if you're this good. If only I could accept you first, and we could have a good household. Maybe things won't be like this, my children won't be victims, they'll grow up lovingly. Andra, maybe he won't be this bad guy either." said Ms. Mirna holding his chest.

At the same time, in a different place. Andra sat on the floor hugging her knees. He rested his back on the bed. His eyes looked empty, and flat.

Andra held her head, it felt like her brain was already filled with shadows about the past. How bad he is, how depraved he is. Andra grabbed her hair violently, her heart breaking into pieces to find the painful reality.

It all happened because he was too obedient. Shetan really succeeded in plunging him into error. He is now immersed in a pit of sin that has no where it is based.

Andra got up from her seat, she stepped towards the bathroom. He washed his disheveled face. Then he took the ablution water. Although he is not familiar with his prayers, he really intends to be holy, and will face the Divine.

After finishing ablution Andra came out of the bathroom. He opened his closet, and took a prayer mat that he had not touched for years. Andra held the prayer mat on the floor, and then she began to face the creator.

In the last moment, Andra prostrated for quite a long time. Her tears came back, and for the first time she shed her tears before God.

After he finished his prayer, Andra sat down. Both of his hands looked up, with tears still streaming. Andra still could not say a word, her heart was still in a state of turmoil, too many sins enveloping her.

Outside the rain fell with a rush, accompanied by lightning that occasionally sounded thunderous. It was as if nature also felt, how broken Andra's heart was at that time. Andra lowered her head, with trembling lips Andra began to utter a word at a time, which she assembled into a prayer to be offered to the Powerful One.

"Allah forgive your sinful servant, forgive all the wrongs he has committed. Give the servant a chance to repair himself O Allah. Give guidance, and guide to lead the servant down the right path. Forgive the servant of Allah." said Andra on the sidelines of his sojourn.

While Andra was still crying in her prayer, suddenly the door of the room opened. It turns out that the ones who came were Miss Mirna, and Mr. Louis. Ms. Mirna closed her mouth as she looked at Andra who was sitting down together while raising her hand.

Miss Mirna saw Andra's body shaking, she knew that her son was crying. Andra was unaware of his parents' arrival, as he was facing west, while the door to his room was to the east.

"Mas!" said Ms. Mirna quietly as she looked at her husband standing next to her.

"You see he can change too" said Mr. Louis, pointing at Andra.

Miss Mirna did not answer, she just kept staring at Mr. Louis. After a few seconds Mr. Louis nodded, then Ms. Mirna began to step into Andra's room. Slowly Ms Mirna began to approach Andra, she sat down next to Andra while touching her shoulder.

"Mama" Andra said, looking over.

Ms. Mirna fell silent, looking at her son's face that was already soaked with tears, making her heart slice in pain. Ms. Mirna felt that she had really failed to be a good mother.

"I'm sorry Ma, Mama has to come back crying because of me. I'm a really bad kid, I always let Mama down. Don't cry anymore Ma, I'm sad to see Mama cry." Andra said as she wiped her mother's tears.

Miss Mirna clasped Andra's hand, she looked at her son.

"Please promise to change Ndra, Mama loves you so much. Please Ndra, please fix yourself. Mama believes you can, in the future please do not disappoint Mama again" said Ms Mirna quietly.

"I'll try Ma, I'll try so hard" Andra replied as she looked at her mother.

Then Miss Mirna hugged Andra very tightly.

On the doorstep, Mr. Louis looked at them with a smile. It was great to see his wife forgiving his son.

"Father." call Kairi who suddenly stands next to Mr. Louis.

"Where are you going?" ask Mr. Louis while looking at Kairi. Looking at Kairi who was only wearing shorts, and bare-chested, it seemed impossible if she really wanted to go to Andra's room.

"Take a drink Pa." replied Kairi with a grinning smile.

"Woman, Kai" said Mr. Louis, chuckling.

"Male or female is important so Pa." replied Kairi while also chuckling.

Then he looked at his mother, and Andra who was hugging. Kairi frowned in surprise when she saw Andra who was resting on the prayer mat.

"Andra prayed Pa?" ask Kairi slowly.

"It seems so." replied Mr. Louis.

"Thank God, I hope he really changes. Pa I take a drink first huh." Kairi said with a smile.

"Yes." Yeah."

Kairi walked towards the refrigerator in the corner of the room. Then he took a bottle of mineral water, and brought it into the room.

Kairi smiled as she stepped closer to the bed. He sat down next to Ella who was lying down hugging the bolster.

"Drink!" kairi said as she offered her drink to Ella.

"You are old." grumbled Ella as she rose from her sleep, she still hugged the brown blanket that wrapped her body. Ella grabbed the bottle, and then dipped it almost to the toilet.

"You're so thirsty darling." teased Kairi as she looked at Ella.

"Follow you." Ella said quickly.

Kairi chuckled, then he lay on his wife's lap.

"I'm tired of Kai, and your head is so heavy. Move over!" ella said while looking at Kairi.

"I'm tired too baby, shut up, just for a minute." replied Kairi while hugging Ella's hand. He looked like a little boy who was spoiled on his mother.

"You know what, what did I see?" kairi said starting her conversation.

"You pervert!" snapped Ella.

"Hi what do you mean, that's not what I want to talk about" Kairi said with a laugh.

"Then what?" asked Ella in annoyance.

"Another thing, but I don't think your mind is going anywhere, baby." replied Kairi.

"You're not funny, just let me go to bed" Ella said, pushing Kairi's head.

"Shut up, just for a second. You know, I saw Andra sitting on a prayer mat, he just prayed" Kairi said seriously.

"really?" ella asked in surprise. From the first time he knew Andra, he had never seen Andra pray. Although he had counseled Andra thousands of times, the man had never once had the intention to face his Lord.
