Mr. Slovenly And Mrs. Perfectionist.
Chapters. 72. Peace With Conditions.
Two months after Vishnu's father was executed, Harfei and his mother were still in grief. It cannot be denied that the mother and child feel a very deep loss. Their short meeting was very incised wounds as well as happy that will never be forgotten. Although at the beginning of a meeting that is not wearing, to become hate each other and maintain the ego to not forgive. But in the end the ego also melts and opens the heart to forgive each other.
The brief meeting was also used as well as possible to create happy moments as if replacing important moments in the past that were missed up to 30 years longer.
The wounds that were deliberately incised by Vishnu's father had been forgotten by his mother and Harfei. Both sincerely accept the fact that the past is very painful like the past wind. And they also welcome the present even without a father figure anymore.
Harfei is aware that harboring hate will not reconcile the heart and soul. But opening the heart to forgiveness is far more beneficial than keeping the hatred that destroys the faith. The mother smiled happily when she found out that her only son still held love in the bottom of his heart that was deepest for his father, although the wounds often approached.
Mother tears of great loss when her ex-lover is executed a week after their last meeting. So did Vishnu's father, the middle-aged man had just found his small family first and had to lose it in an instant when he had to accept the fact that his appeal was rejected by the attorney general. And in the end he also had to sincerely accept the lawsuits that ensnare him, namely the death penalty.
If you remember his actions in the past, Vishnu felt relieved when he had to accept death. Because his past actions were very bad. He killed many innocent people, did illegal work, even before he had to leave his wife and six-month-old son.
Now Harfei and mother choose to make peace with the situation. They had not remembered the bitter moment about Vishnu's father, but the love of the middle-aged man. In truth, Vishnu wanted to leave all the wealth he had to Harfei. But the handsome man refused. The reason is, he does not want to accept what is not his right. Moreover, the treasure was obtained from the results of killing, selling drugs, illegal trafficking of firearms to foreign countries, and other crimes that incriminate the position of Vishnu. So all the treasures of the middle-aged man were distributed to people who were more in need, and built orphanages and mosques. Harfei also returned 50% of the property of Vishnu's father to the government.
"Mom proud of you Ndu. You do noble work". Mother said as she rubbed Harfei's head in the living room.
"Harfei did it all on behalf of Father Ma'am. Harfei hopes that all of my sins will be forgiven. Said the Apostle, one of the prayers that were granted was the prayer of the son of Soleh for his parents. And soon Harfei will be an old man too. Harfei hopes to be a trustworthy and responsible parent. Teach my sons kindness until Harfei not only good will people remember me". I shed tears for Harfei's words. In the middle-aged woman's heart, she felt proud of having a very good son as well as Soleh. And the mother also felt relieved when later she had to go and follow her former lover in eternal peace. He no longer has to worry when he has to leave forever.
"Thank you for making peace with your heart and circumstances, Ndu. You also sincerely accept your father with open arms without having to nurture hatred". Mom's eyes started to glaze over. Harfei stared blankly ahead. Honestly, his heart really misses the figure of his father who was recently met and had to leave for good because of his own actions.
"All because of mother's teaching. My mother never taught me to nurture hatred. Mother never said anything bad about father despite the fact that he was a criminal all over the country. But the mother actually covered up the mistake, even the mother sincerely forgave the father who deliberately incised a wound in the heart of the mother. Then why should Harfei be angry and hate father?. When this angel with my mother's face always spreads kindness". I smiled at Harfei. He did not expect that the son who used to be raised with great difficulty, and with sweat and tears, is now a good person and also forgiving, even responsible for the family. Which other favors will you deny?.
"Hiks... Hicks...". Suddenly mother cried, making Harfei surprised.
"Why are you crying?". Harfei asked while wiping away my tears. Mother held Harfei's hand and then kissed his son's hand repeatedly.
"Mother is so happy and proud of you Ndu. I did not expect my mother's little son, now he has grown up and wise. You used to be this small in a mother's sling". Mom shows up as if carrying a baby,
"But it's now this big. Maybe someday you will carry your mother when you can no longer walk. Even this hand will also raise the coffin of the mother's corpse in the future death picks up the mother". Mother held Harfei's firm hand. And Harfei cried when he heard his mother's words.
"Every human being will die Ndu. The opposite of birth is death. No mom, no Dad, not you, everything's coming back. In the end, only names and memories will remain".
And the heartwarming conversation ended with a scream of Hazal having a false contraction while she was in the kitchen.
"Aaakkk-K-, Mas Harfei... It hurts...".
The screams only distracted mother and Harfei. Both of them went to the kitchen and saw Hazal in pain.
"Dear you why?. Are you going to give birth?. But your obstetrician says you're only seven months old, there's still two months left". Harfei said in panic.
"It could have happened Ndu. Maybe Hazal's having a false contraction". I turned to Hazal.
"Does the pain still feel dear?". Ask mother.
"It's not anymore Mom".
"That means you're having false contractions. This is common when the gestational age enters seven months. Even six months will usually experience false contractions as well. Don't you panic". The mother tried to calm the son-in-law and son. And the three of them walked into the family room. Harfei appears to lead Hazal, while the mother makes special milk for Hazal.
