"Thank you for taking care of them all this time" a sincere remark came out, opening a conversation between Anggara and Tama.
Currently Tama takes her small family to the Anggara residence, after finishing lunch with Friska and her two daughters, they leave home. Tama who initially only alone will deliver Athaya to meet Anggara in fact invite and Rahma to all in touch.
And this is where they are now, a pretty magnificent house in an elite residential area in Jakarta.
Since Anggara became ill, his parents decided to stay at Anggara's house in Jakarta. The house Anggara lived alone after his separation from Friska. Anggara's parents are willing to leave Bandung in order to keep their son alone wayang.
After chatting with the atmosphere full of warmth and family in the living room of the house, now comes the opportunity Anggara and Tama to talk together after the congregation of Ashar prayers are guaranteed. They choose a back terrace that overlooks a fairly spacious garden, even in the middle of the park there is a gazebo that is very comfortable to relax.
Rahma is currently with former in-laws and younger cousin Anggara, who has also been living with them for several months.
"I'm more convinced that you are the best for Rahma. Thank you for loving Athaya even more than me who was her real father." Anggara continued with a sad face, there was guilt implied from the expression of his face. Now he realized that all this time had been very wrong in stepping.
"Together, I am very grateful that God has given them the opportunity to be with them. I am a lucky man whom God has entrusted women like Rahma and sons like Athaya and I will look after them with my whole life." Tama pressed her last sentence, she sighed pausing her words, the shadow of the wife's face suddenly flashed through her mind. She smiled to herself unbeknownst to Anggara, a beautiful smile and a gaze that nourished Rahma was always able to fascinate her, calm and warm up.
Misses suddenly burst into the chest when they were in the same place just separated the wall, but every time the shadow of his beautiful face flashed, Tama could not dispel his longing.
"And as for Athaya, don't worry. I reiterate that I love him very much and will take care of him as much as I can. Even though he opened my son, but God had left his mother to me, Athaya was my responsibility" Tama said, there was no doubt or lie in every word he said.
"Thank you" only that sentence was able to come out of Anggara's lips, he looked up, holding back something that would fall from the corner of his eye. I don't know what's on his mind right now, which must be the regret clearly on his shoulder.
Hearing Anggara fall silent again, Tama turned her head.
"Now it's your turn to be happy, let go of everything that has happened. Tell God that His every plan is our best destiny." Tama patted Anggara's shoulder sitting right next to her. Anggara looked over with a faint smile on his lips.
"When God determines a heavy destiny for you, rest assured it has been rooted in your power. There is no burden that you lift above your strength, if you feel hopeless because you have no one to back up, remember you have God." wisely and sincerely Tama gave motivation to the man who looked so fragile. He did not expect Anggara's situation would be like this.
Hearing what Tama said, her heart was instantly stunned. There was something he had ignored all along. Anggara is too absorbed in the problems that befall him, he forgets how to solve it in the most accurate way that is surrender to the Almighty, Allah subhanahu wata'ala.
"Sorry, I don't want to advise you. I am still learning to live better. And you know who my inspiration comes from?" Anggara turned his head, he was curious waiting for the continuation of Tama's words.
"Of course from my wife" she replied with a proud smile.
"Although it is still a matter of days together we are in halal ties, there have been many valuable lessons I have learned from it. Including how I learned to be sincere and make the afterlife a priority in this life."
Anggara took a deep breath again, for a moment he closed his eyes. The shadow of quiet life with Rahma again flashed through his mind. Praying together, fasting together, teaching together, everything goes back through the mind of Anggara. Honest during that time Anggara feels inner calm and tranquility of the soul is extraordinary. The severity of all that is inversely proportional to what Anggara felt when married with Friska.
"You should know, this morning Friska and her children came to our house"
"Don't worry, Friska has changed." Tama chuckled at the expression Anggara showed, she seemed to know what her partner was thinking.
"He's coming to grieve. Somehow their meeting and at each meeting Rahma said that Friska always apologized to her for her actions in the past." Tama turned her gaze away from Anggara, she looked straight ahead. His mind glared back when he accidentally heard what Rahma said to Friska.
'Life is too short to be filled with regret. Therefore let us forgive each other together'
Tama tells of their togetherness since this morning until noon before leaving for Anggara's house. He who was in the workspace on the grounds of completing a pending job in fact watched every corner of his apartment through monitoring cctv money connected on his laptop.
Tama knew very well how Rahma's sincere treatment of Friska, as well as Friska of all the things she observed during their time together Friska really showed her better change.
"Rahma said Friska wanted to start hijab, she who came without hijab home with hijab" Tama chuckled as she said the sentence, she told him all the things of her observations, nothing was missed.
"If I can accept Rahma with and Athaya, regardless of her status or past, I think there is nothing wrong with you trying to make peace with yourself, forget all the bad things in the past, just be a reminder not to repeat in the future. Start moving forward, setting the future with new intentions, new endeavors." Tama took a cup of tea that was served by the household assistant Anggara, he sipped the warmed tea slowly before continuing his conversation.
The same thing Anggara did, but he was still silent, waiting for Tama to finish her words.
"Like a business that sometimes profits sometimes lose, as well as life. Therefore variations of the plan must exist, if at any time there are obstacles, we only need to change the path, the opening of the goal."
"No human being is perfect, regardless of mistakes, I think Friska deserves a second chance. Children born from their womb are innocent, because that is their destiny. If they could choose maybe they would choose to be born from another woman's womb. But God has set everything and that is what He best believes, how can we find the wisdom behind every destiny."
Anggara bowed, he permeated every sentence Tama said. In a small heart he justifies, acknowledging that he is not perfect either. There are many sins and mistakes that he has committed. If he currently feels disappointed and hurt by Friska, maybe this is a warning as well as a reply to his previous actions that disappointed and hurt women as good as Rahma.
The atmosphere turned silent, the two men were engrossed in their thoughts. To the extent that the presence of someone among them was not they realized.
"It takes a long time to get to the point of being willing. Passing through pain, complicated thoughts, fighting with your own ego as well as a lot of unexpressible tightness. All is not as simple as saying the word ikhlaskan alone." familiar sounds in the ears both make them both froth from their respective daydreams.
Rahma came with a tray containing snacks, she kept them on a small table that was right in front of them.
"Honey.."call Tama, he reached out to get Rahma close.
Nyesss..there is something that stabs in Anggara's heart when Tama calls Rahma with a friendly call.
"I'm sorry if I chimed in" Rahma said after standing near Tama with,
"I just want to share a little bit of what I've experienced. To be sincere is difficult, but that doesn't mean you can't. Everything can be worked on, as long as God is the goal there is no futile struggle, as long as God is the backing there is no free do'a. Everything will be beautiful in time. We believe Mas Anggara can get through all this and move on with life well, let's pray for each other." Rahma concluded with a smile. The hug of Tama's hand on her waist was getting tight. Tama looked up at his wife with a smile no less sweet, love growing in her chest, in her heart she was proud of the mature and wise attitude of the wife.
While Anggara can only be bowed with tears that he can no longer bear.
