Happy Reading's..
Revenge will never solve the problem, but it will prolong the problem because all revenge will only get momentary satisfaction
"Repentance is a monster of appetite, bloodthirsty forever and will not be satiated".
Therefore, Mama Elisabeth did not want revenge with what was done by her first son with her husband. Mama Elisabeth knows exactly who caused the death of Oma Estella and who shot her Husband and who injured her favorite grandson Pak Wiguna Albert Kim Said, her sons Arman Maulana Yusuf and Hendry Yusuf.
Mama Elisabeth prayed and hoped that Mr. Hendry and Arman would repent and regret his actions in a way that changed so it is better not to repeat the mistake again and try to be human who is beneficial to people.
"The best human being is one who is useful and useful to others" .
After finding out that Arman is his son from evidence of Arman's relics when he was a baby. Mama Elisabeth has promised to help Arman to change himself and leave all his bad deeds.
...----------------...
In the all-white room, someone still lay weakly on the Hospital Bangkar until the morning. While Karina who waited and kept Arman in a state of slumber also with a sheath that is still faithful in her body. The clothes he was wearing that were originally wet were slowly getting dry. The sun is already in the eastern horizon and is ready to illuminate and heat the entire earth.
Arman and Karina still did not wake up, when Mama Elisabeth and Mr. Hendry were already in Arman's care room.
"Mas turns out our son is still alive, it turns out he's near us, but why don't we know it" said Mama Elisabeth who holds onto her son's two hands.
"I'm just as surprised as you are, because Linda always told me that Arman was an orphan who lived in an orphanage, even Linda often hurt, often, yelling even once hit Arman until Arman was admitted to the hospital because of Linda and her affair." said Mr. Hendry.
Mama Elisabeth covered her mouth with two fingers of her hand which was very surprised to hear the words of Mr. Hendry.
"Did Linda deliberately hide Arman from you mas so that she was free to vent her anger and instill bad doctrine so that Arman like now who always lives in revenge" said Mama Elisabeth.
Mr. Hendry also remembered the incident that made Ke two twins and was declared the first to disappear without a trace and the second of his daughters was declared dead but there was a peculiarity that occurred at the funeral of the baby those two months. Linda didn't allow Mr. Hendry to see her daughter one last time for various reasons.
Mr. Hendry recalled a few years ago.
I was out of town and leaving our kids to Linda, and just one day I was out of town and it was rumored that our two kids disappeared and our daughter was dead. My time was too busy with his work that I never thought about the incident well.
One week later on the grounds that Linda was so saddened by the loss and death of our daughter she brought a pair of babies and we took care of her until she was 10.
At the age of ten-year-old Arman, I learned of Linda's inhumane actions that every day torment Arman if I go out of the country or out of the country. Until one day Linda was found cheating behind my back and Arman who was the witness had to be tortured and beaten by them to go to the hospital.
And from then on, Arman seems to always be irritable and emotional even though it is only a trivial matter and always in his mind there is revenge on anyone who gets in his way and if he wants something and not being filled then he would get angry even rampage.
I deeply regret my decision to marry Linda and cheat on you. The incitement after incitement I heard from Linda's mouth that said you were ugly and cheating on me with another man and by all means Linda teased me so much that I was deceived and deceived by her lies.
"O Allah I did not expect my son to suffer like that, even his life was at stake for the woman's crime"
"I'm sorry for all my mistakes, I'm so sorry to have hurt you and kicked you out of my home and out of my life" said Mr. Hendry, who shed tears of regret.
"It has already happened and there is no need to regret everything that has happened and now the best way is to forget the dark past, make peace with the past and throw away the mind to always take revenge, because there is no point always revenge" said Mama Elisabeth who is still crying sobbing.
Mama Elisabeth was still sitting next to Arman's stool which since moved by mama Elisabeth had been there until now at 8 am but Karina had not yet woken up and had now been moved to a long chair while Arman remained unconscious after surgery.
"Arman don't run away son, come on over here son, this is my dear mama" said a woman dressed in white who was standing under a tree.
While Arman who stands in the middle of the grass garden weeds alone who are confused must step in which direction. And the woman was still faithfully extending her hand and waiting for Arman's arrival. Arman slowly turned around and continued walking in the other direction. But she kept calling Arman to turn around and stop to walk.
"This dear Arman dear mama, Mama misses you so much that you don't want to meet mama Nak" shouted the woman who claimed to be her mother.
"Mama.." cried Arman with the breath that returned to hunt, his breathing was dull and a little difficult to breathe normally.
Mama Elisabeth who heard Arman's scream and felt Arman's bed swaying made him wake up from his sleep just a few minutes to rest his body.
The condition of Arman wrapped in a bandage cloth on his head while his legs are digips make his movement becomes limited. Arman always looked at Elisabeth's mom's face as long as she woke up from her coma for a few hours. Arman compared the face of the woman who helped him in his dream to that of Mama Elisabeth.
Arman involuntarily shed his tears, Arman was very sad and did not know suddenly the feeling of longing, sad and fear of loss mixed into one. Arman unconsciously held Mama Elisabeth's hand. While Mama Elisabeth who realized this immediately returned Arman's hand.
"What do you feel son, do you want to drink?" asked Mama Elisabeth who did not want to tell Arman that she was his real mother. Mama Elisabeth wanted to let Arman himself realize it and acknowledge Mama Elisabeth as his mother because with Arman's unstable mental condition sometimes normal sometimes the disease relapses so Mama Elisabeth decided to be patient with attitude Arman and cover up that truth for a while.
"Do you want to drink, son?." asked Mama Elisabeth who repeated her question because Arman just fell silent and looked at her constantly.
Arman nodded his head. Mama Elisabeth immediately took the glass and poured water into the glass and put a water straw into it because Arman could not get up or sit from his current position.
"This drink slowly and slowly" said Mama Elisabeth as she thrust the glass toward Arman and slightly raised the position of the bed to make it easier for Arman to drink.
Arman remained silent and continued to stare at Mama Elisabeth's face until Karina awoke from her sleep and fell to the floor, distracted by the sound of a falling object. Mama Elisabeth immediately walked up to Karina and helped her to stand up.
"Are you okay, son?" asked Mama Elisabeth who helped Karina stand up.
"It's okay, ma'am, thank you for not bothering that you can stand on your own" Karina subtly refused because she felt bad to be helped by Mama Elisabeth.
"But you're okay, aren't you or someone is sick??" asked Mama Elisabeth again.
"Alhamdulillah I'm fine kok Bu" said Karina who smiled shyly because she was caught falling from the chair while asleep.
"You go to the bathroom and change your clothes, it's not good to wear wet clothes constantly, you can get skin diseases" said Mama Elisabeth then handed me a paper bag containing clothes and toiletries.
"There are still many Mum" said Karina and then fell into the bathroom because she was very embarrassed to be stared at by Arman.
"Pity him from last night he was wearing wet clothes and he said he was the one who hugged you to the hospital on his neighbor's motorcycle when it was raining very hard last night" said Mama Elisabeth who is proud of the attitude of women who are willing to sacrifice for Arman.
Arman was silent and did not want to comment, but in his heart was very grateful to have been helped by Karina again for the umpteenth time. Moments later, the Bathroom Door opened and Karina came out with new clothes and seemed very suitable in her height. Karina walked shyly and this was the first time in her life to wear nice and expensive clothes.
Arman's gaze was fixed on Karina Karina's appearance which made her pangling and involuntarily muttering.
"Very beautiful" muttered Arman who could still be heard well and clearly by his mother.
Mama Elisabeth smiled in response to Arman's words.
"Good girl, it seems like she fits in with Arman who can help Arman to become someone better again".
