Ibrahim does not expect Anneke to return to be his partner. Ibrahim just wanted to hear an apology from Anneke's lips. That was more than enough for him.
And now, five years after they had last met, Abraham stood before the two-bodied Anneke.
Yes, Ibrahim only dared to meet Anneke, after a man edited his ex-wife. Ibrahim actually already knew if the ex-wife was two-bodied. Even when he first found out, Ibrahim was unceasingly grateful. If Anneke continued to survive their marriage, the woman would never be able to feel the pleasure of being awarded a small creature in her womb.
Ibrahim had been thinking, if he would sit first and wait for Anneke to come over in the living room. But who would have thought, it was Anneke who opened the door for her.
Ibrahim's lips locked.
Though the man had really prepared himself during the trip from Bogor City to Medan City, but when faced directly with the woman who had been hurt many times, Ibrahim's guts shriek.
While Anneke stared in disbelief at the man now in front of her. A man who can't forget for a lifetime. The man was his first love. The man who sowed many wounds in his heart.
Ibrahim.
With eyes condensed and hands clenched in front of the chest, Ibrahim asked for forgiveness from Anneke. Even now, drops of water had drenched Ibrahim's cheeks.
“I beg you to forgive the sins I have committed on you, Anne. I even dare to meet you at this time. Because I was so ashamed and feeling guilty. You're the one who's hurt the most with my whole attitude. I'm really begging for forgiveness from you, Anneke.”
Anneke was silent. The woman was trying to digest word for word that came from the lips of the ex-husband. Anneke had heard the story several times, if Ibrahim had changed. From her former father-in-law, from Kalila, even from her husband. However, seeing her directly apologizing softly, made Anneke distrustful.
The man who used to be so haughty, is now even clenching his hands while sobbing. Anneke was still stunned. Until a man came out to approach the ex-husband and wife.
“Who is dear?”
Anneke turned her head, looking at the man who was now walking over to her. The woman did not answer the husband's question. Anneke allowed her husband to see for himself, who was the man standing at their doorstep.
“Ibra?!”
Ibrahim ventured to look at Anneke's husband. “I have no malicious intent. I'm just here to beg Anne for forgiveness. In the past, I gave a lot of wounds to Anne,” explained Ibrahim. The man didn't want Anneke's husband to think badly of his intentions.
“But I am grateful for past events. Otherwise, maybe I'll never find a man so pleasant as my current husband!” ketus Annek.
Ibrahim answered Anneke with gratitude. The man was really happy if Anneke was happy, now.
“Come in first. We talk inside. Not good if heard by neighbor.”
“A-I only intended to stop for a while,” replied Ibrahim, rejecting the invitation of Anneke's husband.
“If you have really come to apologize sincerely, you should also respect the host who wants you to speak inside the house. I don't want, if my husband's family is judged badly by the neighbors, for letting guests just stand while chatting at the door.”
Anneke turned around and stepped gracefully leaving the two men behind. Ibrahim confirmed Anneke's words. It is impolite to speak in the doorway as they do. But, Ibrahim was really heavy to step up. He still could not put aside his embarrassment.
This was not the first time he had set foot in the house. A few years ago, the man had been to this house to meet the woman he missed so much. However, this time he came for a different woman, and with a different intent.
“Come in.”
With hesitation, Ibrahim began to swing his steps into the house.
Now, Ibrahim was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the house. And before long, Anneke came holding a tray of three drinks and a jar of snacks.
“Please Kang.”
“You shouldn't bother like this, Anne,” said Ibrahim, who tried to hold back his lips.
“Both-good host, is the one who glorifies his guest,” said Anneke casually. “I am only trying to run the sunnah of the Prophet.”
Ibrahim was embarrassed. How could the person he used to always hurt be born and inner, still be so good to him?
“Kang ... Regarding the apology that Kang Ibra made earlier, Akang calmed down. Long before Kang Ibra apologized, I forgave. But, sorry, I will not be able to forget the events that traumatized me to re-build the household.”
Ibrahim nodded slowly. He could understand all of that. Kalila alone until this second, still can't not be awkward with him. And Ibrahim understood that. His actions were once very immoral.
“But, as I said earlier. With a past like that, I can finally be as happy as I am now. Because I became a more grateful person, even because of a very small thing.
Maybe, I really have to feel pain like that first, until finally I can be happy like now.”
There was a cry from the little boy in the room. Anneke rushed over to the boy and carried him. Instantly the boy was silent in Anneke's arms.
“If only, I used to prefer Bang Rav over Kang Ibra, maybe we would not have children as beautiful as Kaisya,” said Anneke who is now back sitting next to Kairav.
Anneke is the second wife of Kairav Nasution. The man married a co-worker three years ago. A coworker he once ran over in Bogor.
But unfortunately, Nasya, Kairav's first wife died while giving birth to the baby. And since seven months ago, Anneke wholeheartedly became a connecting mother to Kaisya Nasution. Even the little girl, now two years old, was closer to Anneke than to Kairav.
“Every human has a past. But don't get caught up in the past. If it's bad, then fix it. Fix yourself. Because everyone deserves a better future.”
The smile of the sumringah was imprinted on Kairav's face. Never imagined by him, the woman he once held dearly, was now by his side. In fact, in four months, they will have a second child.
“So, you forgive me, right, Anne?”
Anneke smiled and nodded her head. “There's no point holding a grudge, Kang.”
Ibrahim Adi Putra, look, what kind of woman have you cast out. Long ago, many times you hurt her. But he easily forgave everything.
Abraham was embarrassed. The man was determined to keep improving.
