Forgive Me, Love

Candra POVs

My mother always urged me to get married. He told me I was no longer young.

" Daughter, when are you getting married? " ask my mother .

" Mom, how many times have we talked about this. Candra's answer remains the same. Candra hasn't thought about it yet "I replied.

" Candra, this same mother's father is old. We also want to have the opportunity to hold a grandchild. "

" Athar is also the mother's grandson. Didn't you love Athar as much as your own grandchildren? " tanyaku.

Well, my parents also loved Athar very much. They allowed me to regard Athar as my son. My parents are the ones who know best how I feel about Novia.

" Mom knows. My mother loved him too much. But he is not your flesh. I want her a granddaughter of yours. "

" Mom..."

" Dad, Novia was already happy with her husband. You can't keep waiting for him like this. You also need your own life. Building your own home. "

" Candra knows it's Mom. But Candra still has a hard time getting rid of Candra's feelings for Novia Bu. Candra is afraid that Candra will get married, but Candra is still with Novia. "

Mother took a long breath.

" Candra, now you choose. You still want me to allow you to think of yourself as Athar's father, or do you forget Athar? "

" sthat mean? " i'm getting less and more clueless about my mother's direction.

" Mom has chosen a future wife for you. You meet him later. "

" he...! " i ruffled my waist while raising my head. Dizziness hearing my mother's words just now. My mother set me up with a girl. Do you think I can't find my own future wife. I elus my forehead.

" I'm sure she'll be a good wife. She's a Sholehah girl. I told her about you, too." added my mother.

" Mommy.." I tried to protest.

" You choose. You want either the girl of mother's choice, or the mother will keep you away from Athar. "

The scariest threat I ever posed. I can at least be separated from Athar. That kid I really think of as my own son. My own flesh and blood.

" All right, Mom. Candra's gonna see him. Candra will decide after Candra meets her "my answer and then I pass from before my mother.

I'm planning on seeing the girl this afternoon just the way you want. I'll try to get to know him. Is that girl right as you say.

••••

In the afternoon at a restaurant in the city of Semarang. I sat facing a girl. He's hijab-briated. His face looks so soft. He seems to be shy too. Because ever since I arrived, he's barely even looked at me. He's always down.

" Hello. You must know me, right? " tanyaku.

This girl in front of me simply replied with a nod.

" What's your name? " my back.

" Aisha Rahma. Just call Aisyah. "the answer is still with a bow.

" Oh, Aisha. Where did you get to know my mother? "

" We met for the first time when there was a study in the village next door. He's very kind. "

" Oh...So what did my mother tell me about me? "

" huh? " he looked surprised. He looked at me for a moment in surprise. Sweet face. He's funny too. Seeing her surprised expression made me want to laugh.

When she realized that our eyes met, Aisyah lowered her head back.

Aisyah nodded while biting her lower lip as I was sure she was agitated at the moment.

" Do you want to accept this match? "

Long Ayesha did not answer my question.

After a while, he finally opened his voice. " Aisha gave up all the same things as Allah. If indeed the Candra mas is the soul mate of Aisyah, then Aisyah will accept it with sincerity. "

" Do you love me? "

" To be honest, Aisyah doesn't know about it yet. "

" Do you want to marry without love? "

" If we love someone before halal, then Ayesha will not do that. Aisha was afraid of sin. So Aisyah will only love someone who is already halal for Aisyah. "

What an unexpected answer. I became speechless hearing his answer.

" If indeed we are destined to be a fool, then I, I will live it. "I replied.

Aisha pulled the corner of her lips. But then I continued my words, "But before that, I will say honestly, the criteria of the wife that I hope for now. "

Aisyah raised her face to look at me for a while, then lowered her head back.

" I still have love for a woman. But, that woman is currently haram for me to have. "I pause my words to take a deep breath.

" Maybe right now, my love for her is still the same as my love for her the first time I knew love. Because he was my first love. "

Aisyah nodded even though she was surprised by my honesty. But he tried to cover it up.

" And one more thing I have to tell you. Right now I have a boy. Anyone who is willing to be my wife should be able to accept my child like her own. "

This time Aisyah could no longer cover her shock. He's looking up.

" Didn't mom say this to you? "

" No. " replied Aisyah while shaking her head. " I know Candra is not married. How could you possibly have children? Is it possible...???" Aisha did not continue her words.

Beyond my expectations. I think she was surprised that I had a child because I was married. But he seems to think I have children outside of marriage. What a plain girl this is. Makes me want to always laugh.

" Hey. I am not married yet. And I never committed adultery either. That child was the son of my ex-lover and her husband of course. But I love him as much as my own son. Long story if you have to tell the details. "

Aisha mangosteen-mangut heard my explanation.

" My relationship with my ex-boyfriend, as well as her husband was complicated at first. But now our relationship is good. Like brothers. We raised their children together. Athar, a very adorable boy." I said with a smile at the funny behavior of Athar.

" Can Aisyah meet him? "

" who? "

" Athars. "

" absolutely. You will also love it when you meet him. "

Aisyah smiled at me for a while before she lowered her head back.

Our meeting that day went well. Somehow I feel Aisyah is different from the girls out there. But it's still the most special Novia for me.

We promised to meet my handsome Athar again. Aisha said she wanted to meet Athar.
