Forgive Me, Love

92. You're leaving?

Jem!! That's right Candra was guessing. Candra rubbed her face rough, then leaned against the sofa and her right hand held her chin. Didn't answer at all Ms. Vera's request.

" Aunty was deliberately asking permission for Candra to bring Aunt's daughter-in-law. Because after all, it was Nak Candra who had been looking after and caring for Novia. It would be unethical if the aunt took Novia for granted ", added Bu Vera.

" I'm sorry ma'am. It's not that I forbid mom to take Novia. Because after all Novia is the daughter-in-law of the mother. Mom's more entitled to Novia than I am. But..." Candra paused her talk for a moment to take a deep breath.

" But frankly it's hard for me to take Novia off. Not that I'm pretentious or anything. But indeed I know the condition of Novia is also her son. I feel like I can't let Novia be with anyone else. "

" This aunt is mother-in-law. Means Aunt is her mother. Not anyone else. "

" I'm sorry ma'am. That's not what I meant. I'm just not sure Novia would be okay if it wasn't with me. "

Novia, bi Susi and Remon are only loyal listeners of the debate of two people who are there.

Actually Novia was glad that there was someone else besides Candra who was willing to help her. Especially that was her mother-in-law. Novia feels really bad for Candra. He's already been a big trouble for Candra. Candra is nobody to him. Candra is just an ex-lover. In addition, Novia also felt that Candra was still expecting it. While he could not give empty hope to Candra.

Novia finally spoke up.

" Oh, can we talk to you both? " ask Novia.

Candra turned her gaze to Novia. He's nodding.

" Ma, wait a minute" said Novia to Bu Vera with a gentle smile.

She was dumbfounded from her seat at the help of Ms. Vera. Candra was about to help him as well, but he still lost quickly to Bu Vera. Actually, Ms. Vera was a little unwilling that her daughter-in-law was close to another man.

" Thank you ma. " said Novia. Vera nodded with a smile.

Novia passed from the middle room. Followed by Candra from behind. Arriving in the kitchen, Novia started talking to Candra.

" She, please let Novia come with me. "pinta Novia very carefully.

Candra rubbed her face rough then ruffled her waist.

" Dad..." Novia held Candra's other hand.

" Nov knows, Candra is very worried about Novia. Novia thank you so much for that."

" No. I can't let you go from my side. I'll be very worried. "

" Yes mas. But Vera's mom has rights over this kid, too. So let the mother take responsibility for Novia until the child is born. The cost of labor and the cost for this child is not a little mas. "

" I know that. But I can afford to finance it. Everything dik. "

" Novia knows mas. But Novia who is not tasty the same mas. Novia has a lot of ngerepotin mas. So let Mama Vera take responsibility for Novia and her granddaughter "persuade Novia.

" What if your husband finds out you're with his mother? You can anfal again. And I don't want that to happen. I don't want to lose you. "

" Life and death is God's rule. God willing, if Allah wills Nov to live long, then it will happen. After all, my mother also promised not to let Novia meet with Boby. Mama must have kept her promise. "

Candra lowered her head while squeezing her back hair.

" Well, if indeed we are paired, insyaallah Novia must be back with mas." he added.

Candra was seen sighing long and heavy. Just beyond the decision he had to make.

After a moment of silence, Candra left Novia without a word. Candra returned to the living room, then sat down at her place. Novia could only follow him from behind in silence. Novia has resigned whatever decision Candra gives, she will follow it.

" I'll let mom take Novia. But there is a condition" said Candra to break the silence in the room.

Sumringah's face was created from Bu Vera's face.

" What's the condition? "

" First, I beg you, please do not forbid me to always contact Novia. Because I have to be able to monitor his situation. "

" yes. Auntie won't ban you. "

" certain. "

" And the third one, please don't forbid me to meet Novia someday. That's just a condition from me Mom. "

" yes. Aunt accept your terms. Aunty will always tell you about Novia. "

" Please take good care of Novia Ma'am. Don't let her husband hurt her again. "

" yes. Yes, " said Ms. Vera with a warm smile.

" Novia, let's help you get ready. "

" Let me help Novia. Maybe this is the last time I can help Novia. "

" All right, son. "

" Come on. "take Candra to Novia.

This time it was him who helped Novia get up from her seat. Then they walked into Novia's room.

In the room, Candra doesn't let Novia get ready. He did everything himself. Novia just sat on the edge of the bed watching Candra busy packing her clothes.

After all Novia's goods were finished in the box, Candra walked closer to Novia who was standing up to help Candra.

Arriving in front of Novia, Candra rests in front of Novia, aligning her head with Novia's stomach. Then in the elus slowly Novia's stomach.

" Daughter, take good care of your mama. I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you. Don't be naughty in your belly, baby. See you when you are born in this world. Your dear father son " whispered Candra in front of Novia's stomach as if she was talking to a baby in Novia's womb.

Novia, who could still hear Candra whisper, felt full. He shed his tears.

Candra rose from her crush. When he got back to his feet, he saw a crying Novia.

" Hey, don't cry. If you cry like gini, mas even more heavy to release you."

Novia wiped her tears.

" Thank you, mas. Make sincerity mas all this time. Thank you so much for Novia's child. "

Candra smiled as she nodded.

" May I hug you as a farewell? " pinta Candra's.

Novia smiled and nodded. Then Candra hugged him. That's a big hug. As if it would not escape. Novia returned Candra's embrace. And that made Candra unable to hold back her tears.

Novia took off her embrace.

" Eh, I'm crying each other. I don't think we'll ever see her " said Novia, laughing and wiping her tears.

Candra also laughed and wiped her tears.

" Yuk, out. Poor your mother waited a long time. "

They come out together. Ms. Vera greeted them with a loving smile. Candra hands Novia's suitcase to Remon.

" Novia pamit yes. Novia's prayer for Novia to be fine mas. "part Novia while shaking Candra's hand.

Candra nodded, "For sure. I will always pray for you. I'll nengokin you sometime. Maybe tomorrow if you're born, I'll wait for you. "

Novia nodded with a smile. Then they all said goodbye to each other.
