Chapter 23 - Pardoning Each Other

"Stop it" said Komjen Pol. Prasetyo Pambudi while holding his right hand pistol hit Arjuna's hand that had not yet touched the trigger.

Arjuna's automatic pistol fell to the floor. Then Bening's father ripped his body down on the couch and put his personal gun back in its proper place.

Two pistols finally returned to their respective places with the condition of the bullet is still intact and not reduced by one.

A long sigh came out from the body of the man who entered the age of forty-seven years. Men who are still very handsome at the age of twilight.

Bening's father also pinched his temple. Dizziness caused by emotions for a moment almost himself did the wrong thing. He remembered the message of Bening not to be emotional if he met the man who impregnated his daughter and forgave her.

Because the whisper was the one that caused him not to shoot Arjuna. Now he was trying to repel the emotions that were still left in his heart. Try to be sincere and forgive.

Mrs. Lina was able to breathe a sigh of relief as there was no heart-wrenching bloodshed in the residence of Bening.

Arjuna also helped the mother to sit on the sofa. Still crying, Mommy. Lina agreed to her son's invitation to return to the sofa.

"Sit down" said Bening's father to Arjuna who was still kneeling on the floor after sitting the mother on the family room sofa.

"No, Pah. Juna will kneel down in front of Papa until I'm sorry Papa gave me. Papa is like my own biological parents. Your son is so guilty of your Papa and your daughter. So let me make amends for all my mistakes to Bening by asking Papa for forgiveness. All of Juna's life will continue to apologize to Papa," said Arjuna sincerely while still kneeling in front of Bening's father.

"Sit. This is an order," said Bening's father firmly.

Finally Arjuna sat down beside his mother. Due to the typical speech of a commander who, if he declares an order, as a subordinate, is obliged to obey. Indefectible.

"I've forgiven you. My daughter can forgive you easily. Especially now that he's gone. Then why do I hold a grudge against you. Live well in the future. Never waste the woman you love who will be with you for the rest of her life" Bening's father advised Arjuna.

"Can I hug Papa?" pinta Arjuna.

All speechless. Look at each other.

Finally Dad nodded his head. Signs agree.

Bugh...

The backs of the two men of different ages were shaking. Marking both of them are sobbing. And the two of them are saying sorry to each other.

Bik Ningsih and Riko who saw from a distance breathed a sigh of relief and were moved to witness the rare scenery in this house. Especially after the previous gun show that made the heart tense.

"Here, don't cry too much. If Bening sees her future husband cry like this because of his Papa, surely there will be Bening lash with Papa."

"It's a happy cry, Pah. Thank you for forgiving this despicable man. May Bening and my son there also forgive my stupidity," Arjuna said, wiping his tears.

Mrs. Lina who saw the two interacted well with each other, was so moved. For Arjuna seemed to rediscover the figure of his father who had long gone.

Although her disappointment as a mother to Arjuna still lags in her heart, but she does not want to ruin this happy moment.

After they spoke for a moment. Finally Arjuna and Miss. Lina decided to go home. Arjuna also brought a diary and Bening's test pack.

Father Bening also allows. Because even though the Bening is gone. But Arjuna has the right to know who his future wife is. Before returning home, Arjuna had said something to Komjen Pol. Prasetyo Pambudi who makes this Clear Father even more moved.

"I've fallen in love with Bening, Pah. I don't know when I didn't know for sure. Has it been since I took away the pure sanctity? Or lately where I've been dreaming about Bening."

"I've decided to close the door on my heart from another woman. Only Bening was able to turn me into Arjuna who was reborn into a new human being. That would make Papa and Mom proud. If it's not Bening, Arjuna doesn't want it. Hopefully later in the afterlife Arjuna can unite with Bening and live happily with our child," said Arjuna sincerely full of love.

"I can only pray, hopefully in the future you will not go back or hurt anyone. May happiness always be with you," said Father Bening with a bright smile while patting Arjuna's shoulder.

Apologizing does not make us inferior. And forgiving also does not make our self-esteem fall.

To truly apologize and forgive, it was all a very noble thing. As long as it is born of the sincerity of your heart.

Seriate...
