I'm taking you off, Mas!
Mutual Forgiveness and Accepting Existing Destiny
Dhiya is in the hospital at the moment. The same hospital as Syafa and Mr. Rio. They shared the task of looking after Mr. Rio and Syafa as well as Dhiya.
Afkar saw from the opening of the door that was slightly open outside the Dhiya treatment room. Afkar's feelings were slightly relieved when he saw Dhiya's calm state with his eyes closed. Yara and Erza stood beside him. Luckily the bullet that penetrated Dhiya's left arm didn't nest too deep. The doctor easily took it. Now the five-year-old child is only undergoing a period of recovery. But not only physical recovery that must be lived, mental recovery must be done. Because the brief abduction experienced indirectly makes a deep trauma to Dhiya. Even after the medical treatment that Dhiya got. The little boy was often delirious and shouted for help because that was why Yara could not move far from her little daughter.
Seeing that Afkar again sat in front of the room. After a few minutes ago he had just come from the ER room to see Syafa's condition. Things have not changed since the last time the woman received medical treatment and blood donation.
Erza realizes Afkar's arrival outside the treatment room. Then he turned to his wife Yara. Erza understood that Yara and Afkar had not had time to meet and talk this morning. The incident of the Shafa accident and the Dhiya kidnapping happened so quickly. So that the ex-husband and wife had not been able to say hello.
“Honey,” call Erza while embracing Yara's body.
Yara who was on Erza's side immediately turned to her husband. “What, Mas?” saith.
“Outside there is Afkar. Meet him, Honey!” decal Erza.
“But Dhiya? I'm afraid she's delirious and looking for me, Mas.”
Erza shook her head. “There's me, you don't have to worry. Maybe there's something you want to talk to Afkar about. So does he, Afkar wants to talk to you, baby!” Erza.
“Me and Mas Afkar did have to talk, Mas. May I speak with him alone?” yara asked doubtfully as she felt bad for her husband.
“Of course you can, darling. What I forbid it for. You two have to communicate often. There is Dhiya to watch out for. Although there is me who is his papa at this time. But the role of you biological parents of Dhiya still have to be well preserved.”
Yara smiled happily at her husband's words. Then hugged the man. “Thank you for understanding my situation, Mas. I love u,” Yara said between her arms.
“I love you to, Darling. You, Dhiya and this child of ours are an important part of my life. That's why I want you to take your load off. If there's something in your heart about Afkar or the past. I want you to take it off with sincerity. We will live a happy life in the future without the burden of the past. You understand, Honey?” Erza covers Yara's face and then kisses her forehead.
Yara nodded in understanding with the words Erza uttered.
“Now, meet him! Let me be here with Dhiya.”
Yara smiled as she nodded her head. Then released his hand that was still coiled around Erza's waist.
“Contact you if he wakes up, Mas.”
This time replace Erza who nodded her head. “Be careful! Take care of mommy, darling.” Erza rubbed Yara's stomach that looks distended because her gestational age has entered 6 months of the road. Then slightly bent his body to kiss the distended stomach. “If you are naughty, you kick from the inside huh,” whispered Erza. Makes Yara smile to hear it.
“Do not go far, at the end of this room there is a small cafeteria. I don't want any other Jono hanging around and bothering you.”
Yara smiled a little. “Iya, Mas. I'm out ya!” pamit Yara's. He passed from before Erza. Her steps felt light because of the trust Erza had placed in her. Yara is convinced that there is only the name Erza. There's nothing else. The place once inhabited by Afkar now belongs only to Erza. All the attitude of Erza ‘ is able to melt the heart of Yara.
Once again Yara looked back where she saw Erza sitting by Dhiya's side. ‘Yes Allah, thank you for presenting him in my life.’
Inner Yara was full of gratitude. Then Yara resumed her steps out of the nursery.
“Why not sign in!” yara scolds the man sitting alone in front of Dhiya's treatment room.
Hearing the familiar voice Afkar immediately made the man look up. “Yara.” Afkar shifted his body to give Yara a place to sit. “Sit, Ra!” Afkar offers a seat for Yara.
“Thank you, but we have something to talk about, Mas,” Yara said.
Afkar nodded his head. “Yes, there are things I want to talk about also with you,” exclaimed Afkar.
“We can go to the cafeteria at the end of this room, Mas. It will be more convenient for us to chat,” invite Yara.
“Do Erza not mind you going with me?” tanya Afkar hesitated. He felt bad that Erza did not know his friendship with Yara.
“He told me to. Mas Erza never forbid as long as his trust can be held well.”
Yara smiled at the words of her ex-husband.
In the small cafeteria, Yara and Afkar were at this time.
The two looked awkward after a long time of not meeting. Confused is what both felt at that time. Confused where to start.
“I'm glad Mas Afkar's memory has returned,” said Yara broke the awkwardness that occurred.
Afkar smiled miris. “The return of my memories cannot bring you and Dhiya back. My greed and my stupidity made me lose you,” Afkar replied while bowing languidly.
“All happened, Mom. We have to accept and live the destiny we have right now,” Yara said.
“I'm sorry, Ra. Sorry for all my attitude and attitude. I know you must be heartache to me.” Afkar looked up at Yara.
Yara could clearly see the look of regret from her ex-husband's face. “I've forgiven you, Mom. I know you did that when you lost your memory. I'm sure, if in a conscious state where maybe you did that to me. Honestly, I feel angry and disappointed. But as time went on, I was able to accept it with sincerity. I hope Mas Afkar is too.”
“Yes, just like you, Ra. I have laid down a path of my destiny like this. In the future, not only must you let go. But also I have to learn to recite Shafa.”
“Why is that so, Mas?” ask Yara.
“Syafa wants a divorce from me!” Reply Afkar.
“Am I the reason you split up? If it's true, I suggest you fight for your marriage, Mas.”
Afkar shook his head. “This decision cannot be changed again. I've agreed to Shafa's wish, Ra.”
“No, Mas. You have to fight for Mba Syafa. I'm sincere with you guys,” timpal Yara fast. “You are a good man who once filled my life. I'm sure Mba Syafa must be happy with you, Mas.”
Instantly Afkar stared at Yara intensely. “Am I really not in my heart, Ra?” ask Afkar.
“Please don't discuss anything else, Mas. I'm talking about you and Mba Syafa,” elak Yara.
“Jawab me!” afkar.
“It looks like without answering you already know the answer, Mas. I'm sure you know who healed this heart wound. Who has helped me rise from adversity and who has been heartened to allow me to face you and both now. I did not deny all the kindness and sincerity of Mas Afkar just yet. You were once in my heart, Mom. But this time your place is filled with Mas Erza. Sorry I have to say this,” said Yara firmly.
“I understand, Ra. I just wanted to ask without expecting more. I'm glad you're with the right person. Moreover, all the Erza family looks very fond of you and Dhiya.”
“Although we are separated but you still have the responsibility to give your affection to Dhiya, Mas. I will never ban and restrict you both.”
“Thank you, Ra. That's for sure, I will never forget my responsibility as a father on Dhiya.”
The chat continues the burden that is in Yara's heart can already be discussed. And so is Afkar. It feels like the hearts of both of them feel relieved after forgiving each other and accepting each other's destiny. The chat that passed for about an hour or so had to end when Afkar realized there was a call from someone on his phone. Afkar saw five missed calls on his phone screen. His mind went straight to Shafa.
****
The footsteps were so loud that they sounded in the hospital hallway to the ER room. And at the same time a nun came out in a hurry from the room. The sister wanted to tell the Syafa family about the current condition of Syafa.
