Wiyasa and Cakra relax their tired bodies because they have to climb the stairs with half a run. They can't lie to themselves anymore because the age factor affects their stamina.
“nduk... Mom comes out first for a while yo” Andhini peed briefly on his daughter's forehead then permission to go out to Wiyasa. After receiving Andhini's permission to leave the treatment room, she pressed the elevator button to the hospital lobby.
Inside the treatment room Sabrina felt a very clear awkwardness between Sabrina and Raka. Sabrina knew that when Raka was very unhappy there was a gift from another man for her. Wiyasa and Cakra also felt what the young couple felt.
They wanted to break the awkward atmosphere, but did not know what to talk about. The atmosphere felt very quiet, Raka chose to sit on the single sofa right next to Cakra. Wiyasa who was originally sitting next to Cakra stood up from his seat, approaching Sabrina. She thought Raka would be sitting on the chair beside Sabrina's bed, but she did not expect that Raka would choose to sit down to join her and Cakra.
Forgive mas... Sabrina. I'm not angry or upset with you, but I appreciate our parents more. Mas tried to be patient until the day when the mas swore and promised before God made you a companion to life Raka muttered in his heart, in fact he wanted to sit beside Sabrina to calm and comfort him.
However, Raka is aware of his limitations, he knows that currently the people needed by Sabrina are Wiyasa and Andhini. Raka looked towards Sabrina who was smiling sweetly for her, as if she knew what Raka was thinking.
“assalamualaikum” sapa Andhini entered Sabrina's treatment room by carrying one large crackle bag. In it there is some mineral water and food to be eaten by them.
“waalaikum salam” greet them simultaneously, Andhini put the bag on the front desk of the sofa sat Raka and Cakra.
“ini nak Raka” Andhini gave a bottle of mineral water to Raka who was immediately returned a sweet smile from her.
“dek This Cakra... ” Andhini gave it also to Cakra who looked very tired.
“makasih mbak..” said Cakra immediately opened the bottle cap and said basmalah before drinking it. Not to forget Andhini also gave mineral water to her husband Wiyasa.
“ini mas” says Andhini,
“still yes deck, bismillah.” Wiyasa said after opening the cap of the mineral water bottle and sipping it slowly.
“alhamdullah... (Wiyasa glanced at the watch that showed it had entered the time for Ashar prayer) the mas deck down first yes, it was time for ashar” said Wiyasa rose from where he sat.
“i also join om” said Raka put her mineral water bottle on the table. Feeling refreshed enough Cakra stood up from his seat, following Raka and Wiyasa who had already stepped out of Sabrina's treatment room.
Andhini sat on the bedside chair of Sabrina peeling fruit to be eaten by her daughter. Sabrina looked at Andhini who was so fond of her, there was a feeling of guilt in Sabrina's heart when she saw the hand she had injured herself.
“buk...”
“hmm... Yes dear” Andhini looked at Sabrina smiling for a moment at him, then continued peeling the fruit.
“sabrina sorry buk.... Already acting foolish to make all worry” Sabrina lowered her head sadly. Andhini stopped her work, putting the uncut fruit on top of a small cupboard next to her daughter's bed.
“nduk.... I'm not angry or upset at you. Mom understands how hurt you feel” Andhini hugs and gently caresses her daughter's head. Sabrina's tears trickled back sadly remembering the words of her own biological father.
Slowly Andhini let go of her embrace, staring at her daughter's face that had been soaked by tears. Both of Andhini's hands wiped away the tears, smiling warmly and calming Sabrina.
“Nduk... forgive me if what I say will make you sad and angry” Andhini looked at both of Sabrina's clear eyes. There was a big question in his mind when he saw the so serious Andhini.
“mother knows you are angry and upset at your papa. You even took the toughest decision of your life, nduk.... However, he is your biological father. Forgive her mistake” Andini said while holding Sabrina's pensive hand hearing her mother's words.
“Buk..”.
“Darling, as bad as papa did to you. He's still your biological father, we can't deny that. Forgiveness and sincerity will help you get out of the past and your fears” Andhini knows if what he's talking about will make Sabrina sad. She could have made Sabrina hate and shun Arman even more, but she didn't.
As the advice of the sage Adiwijaya, to always forgive others even though his actions have been very wrong. Adiwijaya always said, “Allah is very forgiving when we continue to do obedience. Continue to give us the opportunity to change, then we as His people are proud not to forgive among others. Their deeds are wrong let Allah repay them, be patient and trust Him always.
The advice was also given to Sabrina, patient and always remember if God never sleeps. Sabrina stared at Andhini long ago, she was not the mother who gave birth to him. But she always gives affection, warmth and teaches to be a good person like a real mother.
“Bu..” call Sabrina on Andhini, she smiles warmly. Andhini knew that if Sabrina was worried, she could not forgive Arman. However, his conscience said otherwise, Andhini looked at Sabrina's eyes clearly there was a wound and pain in his daughter's heart.
“kalo you can not and are ready to forgive your papa, ndak nothing nduk. As time goes by you can learn to forgive her” Andhini gently caressed Sabrina's face. He was about to get out of his seat, but was restrained because Sabrina was holding him.
“Buk....Sabrina dear mother” Sabrina hugged the smiling body of Andhini and stroked her head affectionately.
“ mom also greet you son (reply hugging Sabrina tightly ) Now we better pray, have ashar later abis timed” said Andhini let go slowly their embrace, next to her hand was stroking her daughter's pretty face.
Sabrina's eyes stared at the roses and fruits Nicholas gave her, she looked back at Andhini.
“ buk.... Sabrina wants to ask for help” pinta Sabrina.
“what is darling?” andhini asked her daughter. Sabrina looked at the beautiful basket of fruits and flowers, she was uncomfortable with Nicholas's gift. Andhini understood with his daughter's wishes, and then nodded her head.
“mommy knows baby, later the mother will bring it to be given to those who need more” said Andhini stroked her daughter's head gently covered in hijab.
