Very early in the morning when I came Fira and Galih was still asleep probably because of fatigue after Galih finished doing the dawn attack after dawn prayer. In a hurry, Galih stepped into the living room while tidying up her messy hair. While Fira seems to go to the bathroom first to wash her face and tidy her hair
"Mama.mama how are you ma, papa, and.eh turned out to be many guests," Galih greeted me and his papa. Then he set his eyes forward. When he saw that many guests who came seemed to feel embarrassed, maybe because he just woke up when we came. For a moment he took a deep breath while smiling.Warm hug full of longing he gave it to me, then kissed the back of my hand.
"Galih is glad that you came, Galih dear mama," as she stepped away from me and approached her father and then did the same thing as I did. Galih also greeted all the guests who came with a happy hue. What Galih did was also done by his wife Fira, my dear daughter-in-law blushed in shame while looking at me as if she was caught doing something with my son. I smiled sweetly and stroked her bulging stomach. I can't wait for the birth of my second grandchild.
Galih and Fira invited us all to enter the guest room. Some ARTs offer drinks and some snacks. Both Dion's children laughed adorable while fighting over snacks on the living room table. As everyone sat back and enjoyed snacks, Retno suddenly stood up to Fira and Galih who were sitting side by side.
"Galih, Fira, I'm sorry for all your mistakes, I'm sorry you still want you to go back to the household with Dion. You certainly already know, right?. Mama should not have such a desire, because you are both happy with your respective partners. Mama just realized that what you want will hurt Galih and Yunian," Retno said.
"Actually I was very disappointed with my mother's wishes, but for Fira it's commonplace, didn't mama have used to hurt Fira when with no heart mom asked Dion to marry again, dion is still Fira's husband. Didn't you think how broken your mother's heart if dad Dirgantara married another woman. It took years for Fira to heal the wounds that Dion had inflicted on her, until Fira had fallen into committing despicable acts to damage the household of others as an outlet from the pain that Fira experienced," said Fira with a flat face, it does not seem easy to get his forgiveness. I understand his feelings.
"And now when the wound in Fira's heart has been healed and treated, with no heart also mom will re-incorporate the wound back in Fira's heart. Still deserve someone like Mama to get sorry Fira. Fira is not an angel let alone a God who is able to forgive all mistakes easily. Fira is just an ordinary human being, who needs a process to soften the heart and heal wounds that have been severe and so painful," continued Fira again. I saw Galih who was restless as if holding back was upset to speak. Crystal threads began to flow through both cheeks of Retno bu which had begun to appear wrinkles.
"Mama's mistake was so big on all of you. It all happened because my mother felt that she had so much treasure that she forgot that other people also had feelings of pain, when we hurt her. At that time my mother was so bright as if everything could go my way as long as there was money. It turns out that money has plunged mama into self-forgetfulness, money makes mama continue to ambition that what mama wants should mama get, never crossed in the heart of mama if it hurts you guys," with a hoarse voice, Retno continued to talk until her crying broke unable to hold. He regretted all his past actions.
"Please tell me, son, what you have to do to get your forgiveness, you know it's not easy, but please!!....I want you to live in peace without being chased by guilt to cause nightmares in every mother to fall asleep. I would love to live a simple life with a peaceful heart like you. A few days at Dion and Yunian's house, hanging out with his family. Mama just realized how beautiful your life is, full of laughter, never any ambition and always enjoy life with gratitude," that's the presentation of Retno bu while sobbing.
"Mama didn't have to do anything to get our apologies. Mama simply promised not to repeat the deed again as before. Mama still reminded me, mama apologized to sincerely let Fira go and stop being a mother-in-law, mama promised not to do anything that hurt Fira. So Fira will forgive mama as long as mama is able to improve herself to be a good person and sensitive to the feelings of others so as not to arbitrarily hurt people. Remember mama, death we never know, when will come to pick us up. Try to think, what if the death of the hunt to pick up mama when the person you have been sick has not been able to forgive mama," suddenly the cry of Retno's mother broke unbearable again.
"Mama promised Fira, this time mama will not repeat the actions of mama as already. Mama will always be close to you all so that you get guidance and understand how to live life so that the heart always feels calm and comfortable. Mama will stop beegaul with the Soaialita. So that nothing affects my mother anymore," said Ms. Retno. Hearing Retno's exposure, Fira stood up to step closer to Rerno's mother and helped her up, then hugged her with Erat. So did Galih, the three of them hugged and finally said sorry from the lips of the couple Galih Fira?.
Everyone in the room was grateful while shedding happy tears. Hopefully what happens to us can be a lesson for our lives in the future, so as not to arbitrarily regulate the lives of others. Because basically everyone has a plan and ideals for his future. As parents, we only have the right to direct if the young are missteps, without having to arrange them all you want to make there are some parties who are hurt.
