The Forbidden Love

Episode 31

With tears in her eyes, Seruni looked at the Anyelir who sat down to hug her feet. The love and affection that is so great a mother, able to make all the mistakes made by her son forgiven.

Although it is not easy to try to accept and be sincere with everything that Carnations do, but Seruni tried to understand. That Carnations only want happiness.

With trembling hands, Seruni helped the Carnation rise. She hugged Carnation, the only child born from her womb.

Carnations were still crying in Seruni's arms. Carnations kept saying her apologies many times.

"It is, it is," whispered Seruni. He hugged Carnation tightly, kissing the face of his daughter who had longed for her presence.

Moments later, Sapto came in shabby clothes. The old man saw his son and wife hugging in tears. Sapto was unmoved, he did not expect that his daughter had come to visit him.

"Dad," said Carnation. The girl was still crying. He walked slowly over to Sapto and grabbed his father's hand.

Carnations kissed Sapto's hand, then sat on his knees at his father's feet.

"I'm sorry, Dad. Punish me if necessary, but don't hate me" said Anyelir.

Sapto was silent, staring at the child who had been proud. Without feeling, Sapto shed tears, he sat down and embraced his son.

"I'm sorry, Anye. Forgive me, "sapto said.

"If you had worked harder, if you could have made more money and provided for our family, you might not have lived this bad life. I'm sorry, Anye," he continued.

"No, Dad. You are not wrong!"

"Dad is to blame for everything that happened. Forgive me for giving you this kind of life. Sorry you were born into a family like this." Carnations and Sapto hugged and cried.

If all that had not happened, Carnations would still have a good future and a pleasant life. Carnations can marry and choose the man they love. Carnations do not need to get bad treatment from others.

Now, the parents of Carnations begin to understand and forgive the mistakes of Carnations. They try to understand that Carnations only want a speck of happiness from the sea of suffering that he experienced.

These two days, Anyelir wants to stay with his parents after a long separation. Carnation misses her mother's cooking, and misses massaging her father's legs when he complains of fatigue.

For two days, Carnations spent time laughing never off his face. He is enjoying this day with happiness. Although almost every time he heard bad words from neighbors on the right and left side of his house, Carnations did not care. For him, sorry his parents were such great happiness.

"Mom's glad you're back, son. But, it's not good if you stay here for long. What about your husband's house?" ask Seruni.

"I've taken care of the divorce papers, ma'am. I have become a widow, and I am not married anymore" answered Carnations.

Seruni smiled. "Widow is no disgrace, son. Don't feel inferior. I'm glad you're free now."

"Mom, there's something I want to talk about. I hope, Mother wants to understand my wishes," said Anyelir.

Seruni scrunched his forehead. He who was busy cleaning the clothes that had just been washed, looked at Carnations with wonder.

"What's wrong?" ask Seruni.

"I want to start a new life, I want to improve myself and stay away from anyone who hurts me, Mom. Will Mom and Dad go with me?"
