Nothing is more beautiful when it comes to letting go of forgiveness. The past is bitter, but by apologizing to each other can start a new form of relationship. That's what Mama Diah did with Mama Saraswati. Once upon a time, there was a deep wound in Mama Diah's heart. Her husband who was seduced and also prevented from meeting with his son, now precisely both parties can forgive each other.
“Thank you Ma'am Diah, already willing to forgive me and all my mistakes in the past,” said Mama Saraswati with tears still.
“Sama-sama Saras ... it's okay. After all, everything has also passed and cannot be exchanged back.”
Whether it was her husband or Abraham's childhood, everything could not be returned. Mama Diah was so angry when her husband remarried when Abraham was a baby. There is a sense of betrayal, there is a sense of being cheated on, as a wife and a mother, the inner Mama Diah is very hurt. However, for all the time that has passed, it will not be repeated.
Then Mama Saraswati also spoke again, “Thank you Ma'am Diah .. It took me a very long time to apologize. I'm sorry, and I'm sorry Melvin too.”
“Iya, I'm sorry,” Mama Diah responded by nodding her head.
Marsha who was there was so moved, Marsha was seen shedding tears. Such a reconciliation. While Abraham saw his wife down dripping tears, his eyes rubbed his back with a movement up and down so soft. “Not to cry. Those who used to fight and do not get along with each other, can finally forgive. No need to wait for the month of Fitri to forgive each other. Precisely as soon as there is something wrong, it is better to finish immediately,” said Abraham in a soft word.
Yes, when as people assume that to apologize and return to Fitri must wait for the Eid al-Fitr holiday to arrive, to forgive each other, in fact, as long as there is an opportunity God gives time to humans to apologize and admit wrong, apologize to each other, and also restart everything from the beginning.
“Iya Mas,” reply Marsha by nodding her head.
“Business you now what Saras?” ask Mama Diah to Mama Saraswati.
“At home only, Mbak Diah .. no activities. Only occasionally look to the Production House,” reply.
Then Mama Saraswati looked at Abraham there, “Bram, do you want to help Auntie to live your Papa's Productions House? Honestly, Auntie if doing it alone can't. You can afford to be able to memimping Productions House,” said Mama Saraswati.
Abraham did not answer immediately, but he chose to think for a moment. Not wanting to make a hasty decision, then Abraham glanced at Marsha who was sitting beside him. Marsha was silent, until finally Abraham spoke.
“Bram thanks for the goodwill of Aunt Saras. It's just that Bram doesn't want to get involved with all the property that Papa's deceased owns. Everything belongs to Aunty and Melvin, Bram is happy to live with a small family, Bram,” he said.
Even when Papa was gone and the lawyer said that Abraham would be the joint heir of Melvin, Abraham refused him, a penny Abraham did not want to take what his Papa had left to him. For Abraham, it was not the riches of the world that he had hoped for. What he hoped for was the time and also the affection of his father when he was alive.
“When you are very potential, Bram,” reply Mama Saraswati lethargic.
Abraham quickly smiled and shook his head, “Sorry Aunt. Abraham was thinking of a project for Abraham's little family, so Auntie could find someone else more appropriate,” she replied.
“Alright Bram .. Aunty will not force, but if one day you change your mind, please help Auntie,” reply.
“Iya Aunty,” reply Abraham.
“This is already before eating, Mama Saras eat here well .. earlier Marsha and Mama Diah happen to make Betutu Chicken and Sate Lilit. Mama Saras likes Balinese cuisine right?” bargain Marsha now to the woman who used to be her father-in-law.
Mama Saras' heart felt so painful. Remembering in the past where he always said that Marsha cuisine is less tasty and less spice, but the woman who was once married to Melvin was in fact still remember that she liked Balinese cuisine.
“No need, Sha .. Mama just troublesome you,” reply Mama Saras.
Then Mama Diah looked at Mama Saraswati there, “Come Saras .. eat first. Don't worry. You're here already, which means it's a good thing. It will be much better if you want to eat here, we eat together,” he replied.
“Mbak Diah ..”
That was the only answer Mama Saras could give, not thinking that indeed Mama Diah was so good. It felt like his heart was hit again because all this time he had hurt someone who was so good.
“Come,” invite Mama Diah and take the middle-aged woman who is still at her age to the dining table.
Marsha who saw the interaction of Mama Diah and Mama Saras also smiled, “Don't think yes Mas ... used to be at odds with each other, now can join hands and also forgive each other. I'm moved to feel. Mama Diah has a heart of ocean silt, which is amazing. Not necessarily if I was in his position, I could do the same,” Marsha said.
Abraham embraced his wife's shoulder, “I won't wish you, Shayang .. So, you don't need to be in my Mama's position. I don't want possessions and high positions, I just want happiness with my little family. I want you and Mira to be happy with me, even if we are not rich,” replied.
Marsha nodded her head, “That always makes me proud of you, you are not glared at worldly possessions, rank and office. Thank you Mas .. I'm happy that you didn't take that chance,” Marsha replied.
Honestly, Marsha was actually also uncomfortable about the offer from Mama Saras so that Abraham helped in the Production House. However, Abraham and Melvin's relationship was not good. Therefore, it is better not to interfere with their property and assets. After all, just by undergoing a photo studio, Abraham can make his wife and child happy. Life is always more beautiful if those who live it have a heart that is always grateful.
