The togetherness of Ibrahim and Shella is so thick. Both are like repeating moments in the past. Ibrahim pinched Shella's hair, while Shella put lipstick on Ibrahim's lips. That game used to be what they often did behind the Panti. The two often steal time to play together. They even climbed mango trees and shared them with other children. That childhood moment cannot be replaced by anything.
Togetherness that intertwined for many years, gave rise to the seeds of love as teenagers. However, they have to be separated for a while. Ibrahim had to continue his studies abroad. Shella is only in High School. He had to sell fried bananas to get on with his life. Although living in Orphanage, and often get help from Donors. Shella never held hands. Until three years later, Ibrahim returned to his side with a new status, namely as a lover of Shella.
Ibrahim falls more and more in love with Shella when she is unable to resist the woman's simplicity. His noble slaves, he said softly, made Ibrahim's heart more encouraged to have the beautiful woman. But unfortunately, their relationship received rejection from both Abraham's parents.
"Are you very happy without me?" Ibrahim asked after being satisfied to play with Shella like a child. Shella's face became tense. Why did Abraham ask that question? has his soul returned? did he know he had a terminal illness? why is she like okay? thought Shella.
"What does Brother mean? aren't we together now?" Shella seemed to be trying to divert the conversation. He doesn't want to talk about separation. For him too soon, and he was not ready to accept that fact.
"Ella, stop pretending not to know. You know everything?" abraham's face was very serious. Like not someone with a disease.
"Sister Ibrahim, I don't understand what you mean. Should I rest now, huh? we've played too much before" said Shella, holding Ibrahim's hand.
"Are you going home to see that guy?"
Deg, man,
What does Ibrahim mean? why did he say such a scary thing to Shella? does he know that Shella is married? has the man's memory returned?
Shella wanted to ask Ibrahim that question, but suddenly Nisa and her husband came to them. The couple wanted to join Shella and Ibrahim. I don't know why Nisa's heart feels jealous of the togetherness of Shella and her son.
"Darling, what are you doing? did you enjoy the game so much?" nisa said as gently as possible. He did not want to make Ibrahim disturbed because of his existence with his husband. But unfortunately, Ibrahim actually looked at the two with a dislike gaze. He seemed to reject the existence of his parents.
"Don't take him from me! don't separate us anymore. Go you guys, go!" snapped Ibrahim while hugging Shella's arm, as if the woman would be seized by Nisa. Nisa's heart is getting crushed. So too with her husband. They were devastated by Ibrahim's refusal. How long should the man refuse Nisa? is there no hope for Nisa and her husband?
"This is Mom Son, this is Mom. Don't you recognize your own mother?" said Nisa with teary eyes. Ibrahim's father hugged Nisa's body. Meanwhile, Shella becomes awkward and at the same time guilty of the situation that occurred.
"Shella, please tell him that we are his parents" Ibrahim's father said.
"Well, we will wait until Ibrahim accepts us again. Thanks for your help, Shella. Sorry if we hurt you so much. Please forgive us," replied Ibrahim's father sincerely as he clenched his hands together.
"Om no need to apologize to me. The past let it pass, make everything a valuable lesson," Shella replied no less sincerely. While Ibrahim still faithfully hugged Shella's arm. The man did not want to take the woman off. Or the two people in front of him would separate themselves from Shella. That is how Abraham feels today.
"We go first, please take care of him for us" Ibrahim's father concluded solemnly.
"Om OK." The couple left Shella and Ibrahim.
Before long, Shella took Ibrahim's hand off her arm with a smile.
"Nothing will happen Brother, they will not take me from Brother. Look, I'm still with Brother here, right?" Shella tried to convince Ibrahim not to be too scared.
"They were evil, they tortured me often. I hate them, they'll take you back from me. I hate them. I hate" said Ibrahim as a child who hates an enemy.
"Shhh, don't talk like that. He said Big brother's a good boy. So you have to be kind to people, including the person," Shella said.
"No! I don't want to be friends with them. They're bad guys, they're gonna take you away from me. I don't want you to go with them" whined Ibrahim like a child.
Well, Shella, maybe you should work hard to restore Ibrahim's soul. At least, before the man closed his eyes for all eternity, he already knew his parents and was willing to forgive them.
"Well, I'm not going with them. Now you sleep, huh? I'm not going anywhere." Shella delayed her time to go home. He had to wait until Abraham fell asleep first. If not, the man won't allow Shella to come home.
