Mayra gave Alfi's old guitar to me. He said he knew I needed time to digest everything - my heart and mind needed time to understand everything. He knew I would have a hard time sleeping tonight. How he understood all day I experienced and knew the hard things, starting from Alvaro's revenge, about the secret of Aruna's death that caused trauma to Reza, then about Alfi's love, Mayra, and so on, and Dinda - about the many secrets of their lives. Even complete with seeing kemalanga* Salsya, plus the helplessness of Reza to oust him. Now depending on myself, how should I handle everything?
I chose to be alone in the backyard, sitting on a garden chair with both legs bent. But I don't play guitar. I reflected on Mayra's words and the sincerity of her heart. To be honest I was amazed that she thought no one was guilty in her weird love story. She did not blame her in-laws, nor did she blame her husband, nor did she blame her honey. In fact, he does not blame God.
"I should be thankful that God is still giving me a chance to live" he said. "Although I was angry at first because I thought He was so willing to give me this bad destiny, but over time I could accept what He had outlined for me."
Mayra also expressed her opinion -- gave me advice - on my problems. According to him, if he was in my position, he would defend Reza and forgive Reza for mistakes that Reza never did on purpose. In fact, he thinks I should help Reza face Salsya, so that Salsya does not act crazy that endangers herself and her content -- all at once - to be a shield so that Salsya can not act aggressively on Reza. Mayra told me that she did not intend to defend Salsha, not in the slightest, but for the sake of the child in her womb.
"As a woman who yearns for the presence of a fetus growing inside her, I hope that baby will be born into the world" she said.
I concluded that Mayra meant by the word "inside her" it means womb - something she did not have after her accident injury.
"If you really are a match, and you have no flaws like me, I mean, you can give offspring to Reza, you have the right to oppose polygamy in your household. You have the right to forbid your husband from marrying again. This is not in the sense of banning polygamy, yes. Only oppose his practice in your household. You get it, don't you, what do I mean?"
I nodded as Mayra spoke the advice to me.
"I know you talked about polygamy with Reza, and Reza's view of polygamy was neutral, not to your expectations. Then you are disappointed. Now that you understand, right, why would Reza put his views that way?"
In the end I understood. I-i understand. Yeah, maybe I should also understand more about Reza and her trauma, although my own trauma would obviously float more if I survive in the same strange love situation, between me, Reza and Salsya. I decided to stop thinking and start singing. A song in my situation at the time. Rama - Survive, the song that made my cry even more broken.
Really, everything that's been going on all day makes me mentally drop.
"Good performance. But the song was too sad for someone as beautiful as you," Reza's voice jolted me.
"Thanks. But that's the only song I remember" I said. I gave him the same answer, exactly as I had at the time. But this time I didn't mean to lie. Just nostalgic - repeating memories. I looked over and found Reza standing back there. "Why are you here?" my many.
Reza smiled and immediately approached me. "You won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't come here. And I don't want you to get sick." He wiped my tears and tidied my hair that was a little messy because it was blown by the wind, although it was useless, because that night the wind was blowing a little hard.
"Darling, please, stop crying, I can't see you crying like this."
I gave him a wry smile. "Yeah, I know. But lately - you're the one who always makes me cry."
Reza nodded admitting the mistake. "I'm sorry. Really sorry. Please... Please, you want to, right, forgive me?" he begged and looked at me with regretful eyes.
"Yes. Love is an unlimited apology. I forgave you. Although I know, after this you will definitely repeat it again. You'll hurt me again."
Reza mendesa*'s*. His face is heavy. He looked like a washcloth that had been soaked in water and squeezed out until there was not a drop of water left in it. "But you know, right, that I never meant to intentionally hurt you? It's just my helplessness."
I nodded and looked into his eyes. "I knew. I'll try to be more understanding."
She smiled and immediately hugged me -- with all her feelings. "I love you. I love you so much. I try not to hurt you anymore. But if I can't-"
"Mas.the key is just one, honestly. Talk to me before you make a mistake. Or if you've already done, tell me immediately, before I know myself or I know from someone else. You got it, right?"
