Seruni Rose
Forgiven
Tired was still visible in the beautiful eyes of Ratna Puspa, when the woman and her husband had just arrived at the house of Rima Gunawan. The woman and her husband were meeting Rima's invitation through Tian, to come to Rima's house this morning. Last night, Tian told Ratna that this morning Rima wanted to meet her and her husband.
Thumping of course Ratna felt. He was afraid, if Rima asked for something that made him have to part with Herman. Herman's mistake was fatal in the past, but behind it all, did not Herman also have a reason to leave Gunawan just like that?
The couple came, welcomed by the security she met that night, when she and Herman were driven out of there by Rima. Although Ratna looked nervous with a thumping heart, but not so with Herman who looked bright.
Smile continues to be engraved on Herman's lips, the man is happy, finally Rima will give him a decision, between forgiving, or going through the law. It's okay to be imprisoned, as long as Herman can still see his children and grandchildren later. In addition, sorry from Rima so make Herman never stop expecting it.
"At first, Mr. Herman. Just arrived?" the new Sapa Tian found Herman, when Herman had just arrived on the front porch.
"August, Son. How are you?" sahut Herman later.
"Okay, I'm good, sir. Come in first, sir. Mama just finished taking a shower, maybe it's coming down soon, "Tian said later. Rima's youngest smiled warmly, at Herman and Ratna at this moment.
"It's okay. Oh yes, by the way, congratulations, son Tian, on the success of last night's event. Hopefully the business more smoothly, can be successful and do not forget, hopefully soon can be a mate," Herman smiled. A witty smile and full of warmth.
"Wow, thank you for praying, sir? I became moved. Come on, Mrs Ratna. Please, please sit down," Tian let out a crisp laugh, responding to his future-in-law's joke.
Prospective in-laws? For a moment Tian smiled amusedly with his extraordinary thought.
'Thank you, sir. May I match up with your own daughter.'
Sahut Tian in heart.
"This morning you haven't had breakfast, have you? Don't go home, have breakfast with me here. Because today is my working holiday, I will take it around the city of Surabaya until the afternoon," said Tian suddenly.
Both Ratna and Herman looked at each other, wondering why he should have breakfast here.
'Indeed, Miss Rima has forgiven us?'
Both inner.
"There's good news" Tian whispered to the middle-aged couple in front of him, "Mama is starting to wake up and I'm sure, father and mother must be forgiven" Tian added.
Herman and Ratna were surprised. Although not heard directly from Rima, but did not stop the news was enough to make both of them happy. Hopefully, this is a good start, so that the arrival of Herman and Ratna from the capital, not in vain.
"Hopefully, yes," Herman said later.
A sudden silence approached the three of them, as Rima emerged from the stairs. Her face was beaming with traces of the young beauty still remaining. The clothes he wears also seem polite and understated. Unfortunately, behind the beauty that Rima had, the woman kept a painful wound.
"For Mr. Herman, morning Ms. Ratna. Please sit down" said Rima, making Herman and Ratna surprised.
"Morning, Miss Rima. How are you doing? I'm sorry .. I'm a little late from the time that Ms. Rima asked," Herman said softly. He was afraid, if Rima went berserk again and ended up driving him away.
"good. I'm kind. Before I say anything to you, is there anything you want to say?" Rima asked flatly. This made Herman feel wrong.
"Yes, of course there is. I, I want to connect the purpose of that time to come here, which is to apologize for all my mistakes in the past. I beg you, apologize that I will no longer be pursued with the guilt of a lifetime" Herman said with great dignity. Not only that, the man showed a sincere look on his face. The regret that had once perched in his heart, had now poured out already.
"I also apologize for all my mistakes during this time," Rima seemed to take a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. "I've always been selfish and self-conscious, if all God has set for my life, and my husband's age limit" Rima added.
Herman surprised. The response he got from Rima, was really far from his prejudice all along. He thought, Rima will be angry again to vent the anger he saved for years.
"If I have to accept the punishment, I am ready if Miss Rima sues me. I will do it, to make amends for my mistakes" Herman said later.
Ratna and Tian only listened, what the two people in front of him were talking about. They were like old friends who had just met, familiar without Tian guessing.
"Don't" Tian flicked his hands in front of Herman. "I sincerely and purely apologize, without wishing anything as ransom. I've thought about this cooking. Not only that, even I have also visited the grave of my husband, asking for the willingness of the deceased, for me to be able to make peace with destiny. Nor do I have such an evil heart to punish others, Herman said. Mr. Herman's apology is enough for me. I accept my father's apology" Rima said wisely.
Herman smiled, so did Ratna.
"I have forgiven you. Let's close that dark past, by opening a new leaf. I want my heart to calm down without the slightest grudge," Imbuh Rima again.
"Thank you if so, Miss Rima. Again, I'm sorry. Another time if if I visit the Rose again, may not, if I also stop here?" This time it was Ratna's voice. The woman seemed to get a breath of fresh air after her husband was forgiven.
"By, please," replied Rima.
The four of them then continued the conversation that morning, with a happiness of being free from guilt, also free from grudges. There is a lot to be gained from this meeting.
Until after finishing breakfast together, Herman's phone rang, revealing Amel's name there.
"Who, Sir?" Rat a asked slowly.
"Amel, Mom. I think he's at the station" replied Herman.
They then say goodbye, leaving Rima staring with relief. The two are only unaware that another test of life is waiting for Herman and Ratna to pass through Amel.
Life cannot be separated from all kinds of trials and problems.
