The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Mutual Forgiveness

"I forgive ...."

The one sentence Giselle had spoken just now was the one Gibran had been waiting for. At once Gibran reacted by immediately embracing Giselle. In the same position, both feet were on the floor, their faces were teary. Yes, Gibran is crying now. Relieved, until the man also shed tears.

Perhaps others would have thought that as a man Gibran was too flabby. However, his feelings are so. A man in the position of Gibran will feel how difficult and difficult it is to be an only child who must be devoted to his mother and also fight for his own household. Gibran has said many times that his mother and his wife were tough choices. Both of them were noble women to him. Let her find a middle ground and ask Giselle to understand her situation first.

"Thank you, dear ... already want to understand me" Gibran replied.

"Mother will definitely be very angry if you get out of the house, Mas," Giselle replied.

"I already know and I've calculated everything. Its alright. Hopefully later I'll understand how we both are doing" Gibran replied.

After that, the two stood up again and then sat on the edge of the bed. Giselle spoke to her husband.

"I'm sorry, too, Mom. I was too emotional at the time. Which woman's heart is not hurt when she sees her husband with another woman in the room. Please, Mas .. don't do it again, or I'm really not going back to you" Giselle said.

At the same time, Giselle also apologized. He knew that his decision to leave home was wrong. He should have thought longer. However, sometimes heartache also triggers someone who is used to being hurt also choose to leave. Giselle also apologized to Gibran.

Reconciliation between good couples is to apologize to each other. Disappointment and anger that often occur in the household can often be a bomb that will explode later in life. For that, there needs to be reconciliation. Apologize for what they are, be aware of their respective positions and roles. Hopefully after this reconciliation, the relationship between husband and wife will be more harmonious. Other times if there is another conflict, they already know how to resolve it.

"So, would you like to start all over with me? Would you mind giving a little understanding to me that I will visit Mom often too?" ask Gibran now to Giselle.

"Yes, I'm fine. However, for another look with Mom, I can't, Mas," Giselle replied honestly.

On this occasion Giselle also said she would understand the condition of her husband. It doesn't matter if her husband is going to visit her mother. However, Giselle tells the truth to return to her mother-in-law's house, she can't. His heart still hurts. His trauma with hate speech that he almost heard every day was still ringing in his ears.

Even if her mother said no, her husband would listen. His ears and heart would be at least safe. So, Giselle will try and give her husband a chance. A child also serves his parents. Giselle fully understood that.

Gibran himself felt so relieved by what Giselle said meant that he could carry out two roles at once. As a husband and as a child. I hope this middle ground goes well.

"Mas, but if Nisa's at Mom's house, I won't allow you to come to Mom's house" Giselle said firmly now.

It is better to anticipate in advance and also the way to keep her husband to stay by her side. Before being seduced by a man's usurper or actor, Giselle would attempt to clasp her kite tightly. Won't let the thread break. A spouse also has rights and control over his or her partner.

"Well, dear .. means if you want to go to his house you have to see the situation first" Gibran replied.

"Whoa, Mas. Except, if indeed Mas Gibran was still meeting with his ex. Yeah, it's a different story" Giselle replied.

Gibran quickly shook his head. "No, Honey. I never wanted to meet him. His return to Indonesia was very surprising for me. I'm also the one once I'm in love, I'm gonna fight, baby. I fell in love, fell in love with you. So, I will fight for you. I just want our wedding to be till jannah. With or without offspring, I just want to be with you" Gibran said solemnly.

When Gibran said all that in earnest, Giselle shed her tears. So far there have been no signs of her getting pregnant. Sometimes, his hopes are dashed. However, is it true that there are couples who can accept their partners even though they cannot provide successors? Gibran can accept it, but not with his in-laws? There will certainly be more disputes regarding their choices and also related to the insistence to remarry for children. Everyone just has to wait for time.

"I accept well your sincere intentions, Mas. However, if Mom urges you to get married again?" ask Giselle.

Finally Giselle nodded her head. It didn't feel like they had been reconciling together for so long. Deciphering problems for the sake of problems that occur in the household. Hopefully, in the future it will be better and finally there is a direction that God shows. Even hardhearted people, if God softens it without it. He who cannot have children for many years, if God gives a miracle and is fully sovereign also will surely get that blessing.

Do we not remember the figure of Prophet Abraham and his wife. Where, he had a biological son when he was no longer young, when he was old. Even my wife laughed at it. However, it is proof that many years of marriage without issue, if one day God is merciful and gives his full sovereignty, then that is what happens.

"Can we sleep now, baby? It's almost midnight. Absolutely not felt," Gibran replied.

"Mas Gibran will sleep wearing jeans?" ask Giselle. It was also because now her husband was wearing jeans. Sleeping in long jeans is uncomfortable.

Gibran nodded his head. "Yes, it's okay. Just last night. Or, you want, I take my pants off?" gibran asked with a small smile to Giselle.

"No, no," Giselle replied quickly as she turned her face away.

Gibran chuckled slowly. "Eat him, wearing jeans last night is also not a problem. The important thing is to hug you this night" he replied.

"Mode, just sorry-sorry cook would like that," said Giselle.

"The real reconciliation is in bed, honey. But, yes, just hold it. What matters now is that the problem is clear. Already sorry. Honey, next time don't go again. Trust me. I will never disappoint you. Likewise, I will make sure the full owner of my heart is you" Gibran said.

"Hmm, yes, Mas," replied Giselle.

After that, Gibran lay first on the not-so-big bed. Then take off the jacket he was wearing. He extended his hand to Giselle.

"Here, dear ... lie by my side" Gibran said.

Nodding her head, Giselle then took her place at Gibran's side. Return to bed after three days of separation. Although the bed must not be as big as their bed in Gibran's room.

"When you were not in my room, in my house. I imagined, when I could meet you and re-hug you like this. Know, Honey. Three days without you, I'm kind of out of power. I don't even have the spirit to live. I locked myself in my room, and I just went out and had dinner with my mother" Gibran said.

"Why is that, Mum?" giselle asked her husband.

"I need to manage my heart. I have to adapt to my own circumstances. I can't do anything without you, honey. Work also feels lethargic," I'm Gibran honestly.

"Darling, but I'm going home at dawn. I need to talk to Mom. You wait here Dad. In the afternoon, I'll pick you up and we'll take our house with us" Gibran said.

Giselle nodded her head. "Yes, Mas. I'm waiting here" he replied. "Mas, if you get out of the house, come out well. Don't let Mom get angry and say bad words, because it can happen to her child" Giselle replied.

"Yes, I'll try. Prepare for tomorrow, my dear," Gibran said.

The night passed, leaving only a few hours before dawn. Gibran asked Gibran to prepare for tomorrow. Because, the trouble and also the things that will happen tomorrow have been waiting for them both.
