The Heart (Nadira)

Episode 159's

After dinner, Hanan went to bed. Bram asks Dira to meet Papa, Mama and himself in the Papa's study. Dira is coming soon.

" Dear, sit down next to Mom."

Mama Yasmin with her gentle smile asked Dira to sit next to her. Bram is across from Mama. And Papa's at his desk.

" What's up, Ma, Pa?"

" Daughter, papa wants to ask you. And I hope you'll be honest with us, son."

Dira saw his mother. A nod from his mother confirms that there is something serious that he wants to ask.

"Son, Alby came to see Papa."

A line of Papa speech can make Dira's eyes rounded. Bram who saw Dira's expression, just folded his lips.

" And Alby's met your brother, Bram."

Dira looked at Bram. Then he looked back at his father.

" Dear, Alby told Papa. He wants to ask you to come back to him. Alby asks Papa's blessing and permission. And also ask your brother for permission. Papa wants to know, son. Do you still accept Alby? Do you still love or love Alby, son?"

Dira. Her tears fell. Disbelief approached him. He really did not think, before asking him back, Alby had already asked permission from both his parents and his brother.

" Dira doesn't know, Pa. Dira's confused. One side of Hanan needs his father. One side of Dira still doubts Alby."

Said Dira in her tears. Mama Yasmin wiped away her daughter's tears. And hold his hand.

Dira nodded.

" And then..."

This time it was Bram who chimed in.

" Dira still hasn't answered him, brother."

" Dear, Mama believes, whatever your decision will be. That's the best for you. And also to Hanan. "

Dira breathed.

" Can Dira be selfish, Ma. Dira just wants to be alone forever with Hanan. To start a relationship with someone else, Dira is also unable to. To start a relationship back with Mas Alby, the shadows of the past still haunt Dira often."

Mama stared at Dira's face. It turns out that his daughter still has wounds.

" Peace with the past, Dek. Not for anyone else, not to accept Alby, but for yourself. Try to forget that pain. And open your heart. Brother didn't force you to go back to Alby. All of that for you too. Try to cut it all."

Dira tries to absorb Bram's words. It's true that everyone always tells himself to be at peace with the past. Because they saw Dira who was still struggling with her past wounds.

Eight years is not a short time. But Dira lost to himself. Lose the wound that Alby cut. Until he forgets, Hanan's presence requires the figure of a father.

Zaidan once asked Dira to try to open her heart, and accept Zaidan. Dira tried it. But there, Dira lied to her heart and herself. Thankful Zaidan was a wise man. Not holding a grudge, instead being a listener to Nadira's story. Only to a Zaidan, Dira once told all his life stories without burden. Uncoverable. But until now, Dira did not feel any vibration towards Zaidan. Until Zaidan chose to give up his love for Dira and become good friends until now. True, they say, Dira has not been able to make peace with his past. Until it makes Dira can not look at his future well.
