Final Letter

ST

"What do you mean, father?" asked Arumi not thinking

"I know so many mistakes I have made against you, but can you go back and forgive all our mistakes. Arka is so down, no one can make it back other than your existence."

"Oh so you mean we have to go back to your house and be a clown to entertain Arka, then after Arka back to the original you can ignore us again. I know so many differences between us, but we're both human beings who want to be appreciated." Arumi was angry as if she did not accept what the son said, and it presented an even greater misunderstanding.

"Mom.not so I mean, my purpose in looking for you is to bring you back home and we'll start all over again. Please give me a chance to be a good husband, so many regrets in the past that I have received, my stupidity that can not run a good marriage with my late wife. But God is still kind to me even though only briefly I can carry out my duties as a husband and father, even though my time is not much with my late wife..."

"Many things have happened in my life that have left me regretful and tormented. I admit that following Arka's wish was a form of penance for my son who from the beginning I did not take care of him. When he asked me to marry you, when he asked me not to like you, when he asked me not to pay attention to Rafa was my form of penance,yet again the decision I made again took its toll, and that is you..."

"His late wife even kindly allowed me to remarry and not commit the same foolishness as I did to her, but it turned out that I could not keep that promise,I went back to doing that stupidity, forgive me." said the Son with regret and tightness in the chest that made him shed his tears.

Arumi remained silent, she was at a loss for what to react to, calming the Son with her words or hugging him while patting his back gently. Ah both are awkward things even though they say they are husband and wife, but they are not that close to making physical contact, if the Son was carrying him when he fainted just consider it a form of sympathy.

The room remained silent, Aldi who finished cleaning the dishes accidentally listened to the outpouring of the Son's heart. Aldi feels confident that the brother who is still his brother-in-law will be the man responsible for his brother who is very dear to Aldi.

The time was getting late until the Son broke the silence with the question of Rafa's whereabouts.

"I know what I'm telling you won't affect you, but can we start all over again, just assume nothing ever happens and you forgive all our mistakes, is not God forgiving?."
