Nathan can't do anything, now all he can do is cry in the park alone. How can Leo forgive him? He knew that what he had done was outrageous. So, what can he do to atone for his sin, while Leo already does not want to consider him a friend. Naturally, if he were in the position of Leo, then he would also probably hate the person who had made him suffer! No matter who that person is even once.
Nathan got up, chose to go home, and told his wife the problem, maybe that way he and his wife could find a solution together what they should have done.
"I'm sorry, Yo." Nathan closed his eyes, it seemed like his regret this time would mean nothing. Rice has become porridge.
Nathan left the hospital immediately. Not a few people who look at Nathan's pity because they think maybe the family of the man is in a weak condition. All that they concluded because they saw Nathan's eyes were swollen and there were still tears that had not dried completely.
Nathan walked quickly, unconcerned by the response of the people who saw him.
Soon he got into the car, then drove it at high speed, impatient to tell his wife about it. On the one hand he is happy to be reunited with his father and best friend, but on the other hand he feels sad and devastated when Leo who no longer considers him a friend.
The arggh!!
Nathan could only yell in frustration in the car, then hit the steering wheel strongly.
Not long after the car went into the basement. Soon he parked his car there. Nathan got out of the car and ran into the hotel room where he and his wife were staying.
After arriving at his hotel room doorstep, he immediately pressed down on a few numbers, then not long after the door opened. Soon he entered and found his wife who was daydreaming on the edge of the mattress.
"Dar, I've got information about Leo!" Nathan tells Leo about his wife.
"Astagfhirullah!" Dara was surprised not to play see the whereabouts of her husband. She almost screamed because she thought it was a ghost resembling her husband. "Greetings, Than!" continued tightly while staring intently at the man.
Nathan chuckles to realize his boredom. Due to being too excited to tell about Leo, he even forgot to say hello first.
"Assalamualaik."
"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Dara.
"I've got information about Leo, Dar!" Nathan repeated his words.
Dara was surprised to hear that. "Seriously? Over where? How are you doing?" Dara looks happy to hear the news that Nathan gave. At least her husband had met his best friend.
"Me–they're miserable, Dar ..." Nathan said barely.
Dara frowned. "You mean? Their lives are fine even though you ruined their company?" Dara asked to be sure. Now his feelings are starting to feel bad, he is afraid if the life of Leo and his father is far from okay.
Nathan did not have time to answer, suddenly Dara screamed. "THAT'S MY LIPS WHY?"
Nathan grimaced a little at the screams of his wife who was very loud blaring. "It's been hit by Leo" replied Nathan who just touched the corner of his slightly torn lips.
"Huh? Why is Leo not lo? What exactly is going on?" Dara was confused. What happened between her husband and her best friend?
Nathan exhaled a rough breath. "Le–Leo miserable, Dar. Leo suffered because of me. I had a stroke." Nathan said in a trembling voice.
Dara who heard it was like being struck by lightning, her body suddenly suffocated. A stroke? Did he not hear wrong?
"Sa–i's evil, Dar!" Nathan shook his head with a frustrated face.
"Take it easy, Than!" Dara was actually made to panic to see her husband who acted like a depressed person. She did not want her husband to return weak, and instead would create a new trauma again.
"We're going to the hospital now!" said Dara full of firmness.
Nathan raised his head, looking at his wife doubtfully. Going to the hospital? Was his wife able to walk, while his condition was like that? Moreover, the path was a little strange.
"You sure?" nathan asked doubtfully.
Dara nodded steadily. This problem must be solved quickly. It was either just his feelings or how, but he felt that there would be a big problem going forward, but he could not predict it just like that. He doesn't want Leo to become resentful of Nathan, and instead intends to take revenge by destroying their household. Nah! He would never let his household be destroyed! Now Nathan is his, and must be his forever.
Nathan couldn't do anything when his wife had asked firmly. He nodded, then helped his wife who was a little difficult to walk. Fortunately Dara's clothes were dry last night, so she could use them.
As the car moves towards your Mitra hospital, where Leo's father is being treated, Nathan is a little confused to see his wife who has been daydreaming, not knowing what is on his mind. Could he be very worried about the state of his father Leo? Maybe, because Bima is quite close to Dara.
"We pray that all is well. Hopefully we can persuade Leo later." Nathan clasped his wife's hand. Although he was devastated at the moment, but he did not want to see his wife who looked sad like that.
"Than, no matter what happens, don't ever stay with me, yeah!" Instead of obeying her husband's words just now, Dara actually berleleleletyuk that makes Nathan confused.
Dara only smiled faintly looking into her husband's eyes. Yes, he suddenly felt a strange feeling. A feeling he himself cannot explain. I don't know why he first felt crowded, but nothing happened. He is indeed worried about the condition of Leo's father, a man he already considers like his own father. But this time the feeling was different.
Will she be a weak woman in the future?
Will there be a lot of tears?
Is he able to maintain his home?
Dara's mind raged. All this time he had not felt this kind of feeling. But now?
'Lord, I leave everything to you. I hope this strange feeling is just a casual feeling. I believe that You cannot give more trials than Your people can. I ask Thee, let not Thou dost separate us both, for we have promised Thee to live piety.' Dara prays inwardly, trying to normalize her feelings that have become unreasonable since she gave her body to Nathan last night.
********
Leo returned to his father's room while wiping away his tears that had not stopped coming out. Whether or not it was true the decision he took, but he still could not accept the fact that Nathan had made his life like this.
'Why do you have to, Than?' Leo cried out in frustration. Why should his own friend out of so many people in this world?
Leo went into his father's room, but now his vision was flat. Bima who had just closed her eyes immediately opened her eyes again, then smiled at the presence of her son.
"Ke–why?" ask Bima.
"Why? Who should have asked that was me. Why, Dad? Why do you keep this big fact?" lirih Leo looked disappointed at his father.
Bima smiled gently. "Ja–don't ever hate your own sister."
Leo's breath hunts upon hearing his father's words. "BUT HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE US SUFFER, DAD!" Leo shouted in frustration. How could his father not hate Nathan, but if the man did not disturb his father's company, then their lives would not be this ruined.
"And he's not my brother!" keep Leo full of emphasis.
"Ti–no! You said Nathan was your brother. That's why Dad never hated him, because he's your brother, which means he's also Father's Son. It's not good for a brother to hate his sister. Moreover, a father hates his Son." Bima said softly, in no way showing if she was disappointed.
Leo felt shocked to hear his father's words. Aye! He had indeed told his father that he already considered Nathan like his own sister, because he did want to have a younger brother.
"Ta–but, Well ...." Leo did not know what else to say.
"Son, humans deserve a second chance. Try to remember again what you have done to make Nathan a grudge and do all this without thinking long. Don't look at your side of life. You don't even know what Nathan's life is like. That looks okay is not necessarily really good. Forgiveness is not easy, but it would be nice if we would forgive others. Never hold a grudge against someone, let alone that he is your own sister." Bima began to give wise advice to his son who was silent listening to him.
"Forgive your neighbor, do not let your resentment just boomerang for yourself. You got it, right?" Bima continued to advise her son gently, hoping that he would understand her point.
While Leo was silent listening to every word his father made. Shouldn't she hate Nathan, who she thinks is like her own sister? Don't humans have a second chance?
'Did I hate Nathan wrong? Shouldn't I hate him? Although it hurts to know the facts, but ... humans do have a second chance, right? God will forgive the mistakes of His people. Then why don't I want to?'
