when it cleared from the toilet, the mother also felt something strange with the man who had hit her, like having met but did not remember where.


when the mother walked back to the room Nabila was, and Wijaya out of his room, but his eyes were focused on the woman who was walking towards him.


"Wait"


prevent Wijaya


"sorry what's wrong, Doc?"


mother saw the doctor's suit that the man was wearing


"this is your ID that fell off"


Wijaya handed over the KTP to Mommy


"oh, thanks"


mother said


"this is yours too?"


wijaya handed me the business card again


mother took it, and she wondered why the long-lost business card was in the hands of the man in front of her.


"why is it on you?"


"can we talk for a second?"


pinta wijaya to mother


while the mother is still frowning confused forehead


"what's it gonna take?"


" may I speak for a moment in my room"


vijaya pointed at the door of his room


" well"


because he saw the man in front of him in a doctor's uniform, mother thought the man in front of him would not be like this, finally mother agreed to his request


"so what do you want to talk to the doctor?"


now they are in the room


"forgive me Hani"


wijaya stared pleading with mother


hani is confused why this man suddenly apologized


"forgive me for the mistakes I made"


said Wijaya again now he looked down unable he looked at Hani, because it remembered the past events.


"do you not remember my face at all?"


Hani was still silent on the spot, she was increasingly confused by the doctor's speech before her


"please tell me directly what the doctor wants to say, I don't have much time"


Hani remembered Nabila who was still lying weakly in his room


"forgive me the mistake of abusing and tarnishing your honor decades ago"


deg


"meaning doctor? doc ter who robbed me of my chastity first?"


tanya Hani with the tone slightly raised


Wijaya nodded his head in response


Hani gawked, not believing the person who used to take his chastity was now in front of him


he approached and slapped Wijaya's cheek several times


sobbing he hit and slapped the man who had destroyed his youth, his dreams and his ideals.


"i beg your pardon to me Hani"


"why? why are you saying sorry now? where are your hearts and minds when I'm treated like that?"


because of you, my life is ruined, my dreams are shattered.hiks"


"i beg your pardon, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"


wijaya rested at Hani's feet while continuing to apologize, because his heart was so sorry


"khilaf? regretted? after 25 years now you regret it? have you ever thought about my life after that? huh uh?"


"i'm really sorry Hani, I used to be under the influence of stimulants, and you came, sorry I took it out on you"


Hani continued to cry, indescribable how she felt when in front of him now was the man who took away her honor


annoyed, angry, sad, there was something stuck in his chest


"i have tried to find you first to account for my actions, but nothing has resulted, please forgive me, I will do anything to make up for my mistakes"


"you think everything can be redeemed just like that? going back to the way it was like nothing happened?huh uh?"


wijaya shook his head


"please forgive me"


Hani goes by leaving his own Wijaya, he is not strong if he has to open old wounds, wounds that always imprint in his heart, lucky there is Ridwan coming who covers the wound, but what about Nabila?


Nabila was not far with him, he also felt the wound, because Nabila's depraved treatment was not accepted by his friends, he grew up without a real father.
