PS 53 - The Warmth of a Family

Then, I turned towards Aunt Farha. There was already Ghifari who was rubbing the shoulders of his mother who continued to cry.

I walked straight to him, "Tante ..." Call me.

"I'm sorry Auntie, son. Forgive Auntie." Said Aunt Farha who looked so sorry.

I nodded my head just like that, "I'm sorry too, Auntie. It's not polite on Auntie."

"Tante Mamang deserves that kind of treatment, son." Aunty Farha's.

"All this time, Aunt Farha is looking after Papa and your brother, son. He is a very good man." Said Mother.

"But I've taken your husband, Ma'am." Tanya Farha said in tears to show that she was sorry.

Ghifari still rubbed his mother's back, trying to calm her mother.

"I know you didn't really do it. If you are evil, you did not help me escape from Ulfa. You didn't take my husband, either, because I knew that you were just doing my wish to take care of my husband and son Haidar." Mom said.

I smiled, it was true that Aunt Farha was not a bad person. He may have made mistakes in the past, but he was still my mother's best friend, who was loyal to my mother.

"Mr ..." Aunty Farha's.

"You could've gone, Farha. You could've left my husband and son, but you didn't. You still survive despite what torture you get from my brother." Said Mother.

My mom hugged Aunt Farha. Seeing the two embrace, my tears hardened again, but a smile rose on my lips. Mom is really a good person. I am very proud of him. It was my mother's kindness that made Bude Ulfa angry.

"Thank you for taking care of my husband and son, Farha." Mom said.

"I'm sorry for my mistake, ma'am." Farha.

My mother nodded my head. My grandfather was right, my mother forgave anyone who ever hurt her.

I looked at Ghifari who was looking at her mother. I feel sorry for. Now she lives with her mother. Circumstances turn. In the past, I looked at his family with envy. A very perfect family. However, right now, I can understand his feelings, I'm sure that he also wants to feel what I feel now, having a complete family.

Ghifari turned towards me, I smiled at him. He smiled back at me and nodded. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

"Auntie, ..." Call me.

My mother has already let go of her hug on Aunt Farha.

"Don't report to the police again. I beg. Aunt is not wrong. I'm sorry I made Auntie really report to the police." I said.

"But, Aunt ..."

I shook my head, "Tante was apologizing to me right? I'll forgive Auntie if Aunt doesn't try to report herself again." I said.

I walked over to Aunt Farha and hugged her, "Thank you, son. You're a really good kid." Aunty Farha's.

"Together, Aunt. I'm sorry, I'm sorry again." I said.

Then I looked at my Grandpa and Grandma from my mother. The parents of my mother and also Bude Ulfa. The person I should have apologized to the earliest.

Honestly, I forgot my grandparents' names from my mom. Looks like the names of Rina and Surya. However, it was fortunate that I could just call Grandma or Grandpa.

"Grandfather, Grandma. I'm sorry." I said resting under their feet crying and contemplating what I had done.

Grandma Rina won't look at me. I know there's disappointment in there. Bude Ulfa is his son. She gave birth to and raised Bude Ulfa.

"I'm sorry for making Grandpa and Grandma lose your first daughter. I'm really sorry. If grandfather and grandmother want to repay what I did, I sincerely accept it." I said while crying.

Grandpa Surya immediately told me to stand up, "Stand up, son. Stand up. We are disappointed because no matter how he behaves, Ulfa is still our son. But we are sincere, son. Maybe this is all his way.We've forgiven you, son." Grandpa Surya said.

"Thank you, Grandpa." I said.

I turned towards Grandma Rina who was still crying, "I'm sorry Grandma. Really, even if grandma wanted to do the same to me, I wouldn't mind accepting it at all." I said.

Grandma Rina wiped her tears then hugged me. "Yes, Grandma forgives you, son." At last.

I smiled and nodded my head, "Thank you, Grandma." I said.

I turned to Grandma from my father, the wife of Grandpa Labib. I also actually forgot her name but it was like her name Aisyah. How do I explain it? I did meet several times with the family of my mother and father but I did not memorize his name one by one even though Ghifari had introduced him.

"Yes, Son. I hope we can be a better person." Her word.

"Aamiin's." I said. He kissed the top of my head, I could feel a great relief.

I looked at Grandpa and hugged him for a moment. He patted me on the back, "Grandfather's grandson. You are good at admitting your mistakes. Grandpa is so proud of you." Said Grandpa.

I smile. "Thank you, Cake." I said.

Then, I immediately turned to look towards Bang Haidar and also Bi Shanti.

I hugged Bi Shanti, she looked so worried about me, "Why can you be like this, son. Why so many wounds?" Ask Bi Shanti.

I smile. "Neither Bi Shanti. It just fell. Heals on his own. Thanks, Bi, for everything." I said.

Bi Shanti nodded her head. "Yes, Son. Bi Shanti can only wish you the best." Said Bi Shanti.

Then, I immediately turned to look towards Bang Haidar. His eyes glazed over, "Why break the promise, Bang?" I asked while wiping my tears.

"I swear, I didn't know he was coming here. He's a rock." Bang Haidar.

"Most of his old brother." Said Ghifari who knew that the person Bang Haidar was talking about was himself. He seemed to not accept.

I could only shake my head, "Well, why the hell?" My toot.

"Duh, am I the same Bang Haidar? Not very." Ghifari.

"Yeuuu, beware if you beg for my blessing. I'm not telling you how you feel!" Bang Haidar.

Everyone laughed immediately. I want to laugh because they are so funny. Keep fighting.

"Sorry Brother, Ra. Can't take care of you." Bang Haidar.

I went back to glass. Then Bang Haidar hugged me.

"Even if you don't like Ghifari, but I admit that he's smart and fights for you." Whisper Bang Haidar in my ear.

"I know." I said while nodding my head.

"Alhamdulillah finally by the power of Allah SWT we can get back together again. May we be better people and always be in His protection. Aamiii." Said Grandpa Labib.

"Amin to Rabbal Al-Amin." Everyone rubbed their faces.

"Bude Ulfa no nitip message." Said Ara. Then Ara turned towards Grandpa Labib, Grandpa Labib who understood the meaning of the glance gave Ulfa's letter to me.

"Thank you, Grandpa." My speech.

"I got this letter from a prisoner in there named Farah's mother. He was a friend of Bude Ulfa when Bude Ulfa went to prison. Maybe for the chronology you all know better than me. This is a letter written by Bude Ulfa in the hospital before he breathed his last, this letter Bude Ulfa wrote with the help of a nun named Nina. The son of Farah's mother who financed his life until graduation from college by Bude Ulfa." I said.

Grandma Lina was already crying. His place. Moved because of all the ugliness, his son still has a good side.

I opened the letter. I wanted to read everything. However, it will again worsen the image of Bude Ulfa and will also hurt many parties. It was enough that Labib's grandfather, Ghifari, and I alone knew the contents of the letter in its entirety. I don't want to expose Bude Ulfa's disgrace any more.

Moreover, if I read it from the beginning Grandpa Surya and Grandma Rina would be embarrassed in front of everyone. Kasian.

Do you know what, bad boy?

In this state of pain, I realized that all this time I was wrong. All this time I've been turned into a demon.

In the end, Nindy is a person who has a privilege, maybe the prayers he recited that saved him from the evil that came to him.

I will never ask you to offer my apologies to your parents, especially your mother, because I know that they will forgive me again. After all, when you read this letter, you must be in prison, right? But you take it easy, no one will dare kill you there.

And ... If I'm really dead, you don't blame yourself. It's not your fault, it's fate. Nor will I force you to forgive my mistakes because I know they are difficult.

If you're free later, tell your mother and father that my departure is a gift from me for their happiness. Tell them to enjoy life, not plan, and take care of what they should take care of.

Please apologize to both my parents. If this is, I really hope. If you can't say it, ask Haidar and Ghifari for help.

Everyone in the room was crying. It turns out that at the end of the story of Bude Ulfa, Bude Ulfa still has a side of kindness, he admitted his mistake and apologized to all of us.
