Like Marrying a Boy

SMB 17'S

"Why are you quiet, Etha? If you do it out of pity for me then it's better not to. I want to learn to mature and not be pitied by others" Agnes said.

Margaretha woke up from the daydream and clasped Agnes' hand quite tightly. His gaze was so fixed scanning the face of Agnes who still looked pale.

"I'm not doing this out of pity on you, Nes." Margaretha began to open her voice even though it was still quite heavy.

"Then why?" Agnes was impatient herself.

"I have forgiven your father for a long time. After I think of it, God is Most Forgiving, no matter how great a mistake His Servant makes, if He is apologized, He will apologize. My yesteryear that ordinary humans can't forgive." Margaretha paused her words. Sincerely not sincere, he tried to be sincere.

"Etha—"

"The departure of my father and mother has become destiny. No matter how I cry, they will not come back. Right now I just want to be a good human being. I don't want any more revenge. You know, Nes. I always cry when I see you cry silently."

"You-you know?" Agnes' face looked very nervous.

"of course. I have also felt the pain of staying away from my parents. You must be able to stand on your own feet. We're the same, Nes. It's just that I'm luckier to be given a healthy body." Margaretha helped wipe away Agnes tears that were beginning to flow.

"Etha .. If I hadn't been born, maybe I would never have bothered everyone. I don't make people feel sorry for me."

"Etha, forgive my papa. Ever ruined your life. If you want my dad to feel what you feel then you can just kill me." Agnes started talking. The feeling is really bad on its own.

"I would never do that. Evil does not have to be met with evil. Enough of this talk. Better now you rest and then we'll go home together" Margaretha ordered.

Agnes was about to refuse, but seeing the glare of Margaretha's eyes sharpen, Agnes was forced to just say yes. Faithfully, Margaretha sat beside the gurney and looked at Agnes who was closing her eyes.

Hopefully after this you can live happily, Nes. I will slowly erase the pain to your papa and completely forgive everything until there is no heartache I feel.

Two men sat in the hospital cafeteria, enjoying two cups of coffee in front of them. Janu and Gatra.

Since then, Janu continued to look at Gatra so closely that it made Gatra become confused and afraid that something was wrong with him. She could not interpret Janu's pretty creepy gaze for her. In fact, so nervous Gatra to feel like he was in the trial at this time.

"Ehem!"

Janu cleared his throat loudly. Pour out the movement of Gatra's hand that was about to lift the cup. Instead of returning to take the cup, Gatra just silently glued and returned Janu's gaze.
