The Will of Love

Ch 78's. Apologies

"Sorry Nyah, there's a letter for Madam."

Tejo handed over a letter from Frans to Meli who was relaxing in the backyard with Aris.

"Who's Mas Tejo from?" Meli asked, frowning her forehead.

"So there was a man riding in a black car handing him over to me Nyah. At first the man wailed and peeked out from the gap of the gate. When I rebuked, he handed me this letter. He said to Madam." Bright Tejo.

Meli grabbed the letter and looked closely at Aris.

"Who is Mas?" Meli Say.

"It's just open." Aris.

Aris also noticed the letter.

I looked at the letter. No name on there.

"Who did he say this was from?" Ask Meli again to Tejo.

"He didn't say anything madam, just nitips for Madam. Just like that."

Meli nodded then allowed Tejo to return to the guard post.

Meli tore the envelope and then she pulled out the paper and she began to read it.

Assalamualaikum Meli, it's Frans.

Before I wanted to apologize to you, because I had kind of sent you a letter. However, there was no other way to convey my regret all this time.

I was out of jail almost two months ago. But please do not misunderstand my freedom.I have repented, I will not bother you anymore.

There are many lessons I learned while in prison. Especially about sincerity and patience. I know I ruined your life six years ago and I'm so sorry.

If it can be played back, I will definitely not do that to you. I am solemn, with a sincere and sincere heart, I want to apologize from you. I knew I would never be forgiven. But as a human being, I am obligated to keep apologizing to the people I have hurt.

When you read this letter, I I was on my way to move to another city.I left Jakarta to study religion in East Java. Pray for me Mel, I hope I can really be a good human being.

I've also reported Aunt Alisya to the police. Actually he was the brain of your abduction. All this time I've covered her from you and from anyone, for Aunt Alisya's sake.

But, I saw that he had never changed, even worse than before. I don't want him back to harm you and your family. Or take away all of your happiness.

Mel, I'm glad to see you happy right now, even if you're not with me. I know love cannot be forced. Forgive me for all my selfishness, forgive me forgive me, pray for me Mel.

wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi.

Frans.

Meli sighed heavily. Then, he looked at Aris and handed the letter to Aris. Aris welcomes the letter from Meli's hands. Then he read the letter. Aris nodded and smiled, happy that Frans had really changed.

"We pray for him, may his direction really come to him." Said Aris while tightly grasping Meli's hand.

Meli was just speechless, she bit the corner of her own lips. Meli was really traumatized by Frans, let alone meet her person, read her letter just the feeling of fear came back to Meli's heart.

What Meli experienced when held captive by Frans, quite imprinted in her heart. From attempted rape, to physical and mental abuse, she was subjected to Frans's imprisonment.

"Dear, forgive him. He was guilty, but he had already made it up to him in prison. And now with a sincere heart, he has apologized to you. By trying to forgive, maybe our hearts and feelings will be better. Anyway I'm here with you now I'm gonna protect you until death to pick me up." Aris.

Meli shed her tears she looked at Aris closely, then she nodded her head.

"God willing, I will try to forgive him and pray for him to be better." Meli Say.

"I will always try to take you in kindness because I am your priest." Aris.

Meli smiled sweetly, then she clasped Aris' hand tightly.

"Thank you." Meli Say.

Aris kissed Meli's forehead gently.

"So when do we go to Bandung? I want to meet the family of the man who had the accident with Mas. Poor family, I am sure his wife must be very hit because the husband he later on at the birth of their child never appeared in front of him. At least she knew her husband was dead. So that no miscellaneous thoughts came to his mind." Meli Say.

"Monday I have started to work, it is better this week we go there. Faster is better." Aris. Meli smiles and nods her head to agree with Aris's idea.

Meli decided to become a housewife. She wants to focus on her children, her husband and her restaurant. The company is again owned by Aris.

Meli is very happy, because she could have a lot of time for Ar and Re. Moreover Ar and Re will enter elementary school this year. Meli is very excited, because she can take care of her children and see their growth and development without missing a single moment.

....

Alisya pensively in her cell. Alisya's eyes looked puffy from crying too much. There are so many reports and accusations against him. And none of them could prove that he was innocent.

Alisya was sentenced to a maximum of fifteen years. It was unimaginable for him to live in prison for fifteen years. Alisya came back crying imagining her fate.

Through her lawyer, Aris returns all the fees that Alisya once incurred for her. Aris does not want to have a debt of gratitude to Alisya.

Actually Aris did not have the heart to see Alisya in prison. After all, without Alisya he might have died. But, he also did not want to let Alisya be forgiven just like that.

For forgiving Alisya without giving her a lesson beforehand, it would not deter the woman. Aris hopes that Alisya will get out of prison. Alisya could be better, like Frans.

No one knows the fate of anyone. Maybe today, he was a criminal. He could be a very good person tomorrow.

Meli who was choosing clothes that will be brought to Bandung, looked at Aris who was pensive on the edge of the bed.

"What do you think?" Ask Meli.

Meli's question makes Aris' daydream about Alisya was dissolved. Aris looked at Meli who was looking at her questioningly.

"Ah, think of nothing." Answer Aris. Then, he tried to smile to show Meli, he was not thinking about anything.

"Oh, what was I thinking." Meli Say.

Aris got out of bed, and he approached and hugged his wife from behind. Aris kissed Meli's nape gently.

"I miss." The whisper of Aris in Meli's ear.

"We made a younger brother, Ar and Re." Whisper Aris again.

Hearing Aris' words, Meli turned her body and looked at her husband.

"Not two is enough? like the government's advice." Meli Say.

"Mel, I'm the only child. I want a lot of kids, so that my house is crowded." Said Aris while stroking Meli's cheek.

Meli smiled doubtfully, then she looked into Aris's eyes which looked very earnest to have another child from her.

"One more yes and if I get pregnant again, it's the last pregnancy." Meli Say.

"Yes, it's your last pregnancy. Just like, twins again." Said Aris while carrying Meli's body and put it on the bed.

"Ihhhhhh..!" Meli shouted, then they laughed together and drowned in halal love.
