A few days later, Papa's condition improved. The doctor said his condition had improved and he was allowed to go home. I decided to bring Papa home for his health. Although heavy, I tried to make peace with the situation. He is still my father. I realized without him I wouldn't be in this world. Mama just complied without asking much. But it was clear that the middle-aged woman was still injured inside. His sight that can't lie makes me feel pity. Mama repeatedly asked me why I brought her home but I just kept quiet and didn't answer all those questions.
On the way home the three of us were silent. None of us were reluctant to start the conversation. I focused on my steering wheel while Mama and Papa were behind the wheel. I watched their movements from the glass in front of me. Although Papa has apologized but Mama still does not believe in men who are different a year with his age. For now I'm not forcing Mama to accept him so quickly. Personally I still have doubts about this middle-aged man.
A few minutes later we arrived home, Naina had welcomed us along with the other servants. The old man slowly got out of the car he stared at Naina for a while. I cleared my throat for the man to take his eyes off Naina. I don't know what she had in mind when she saw Naina. I will continue to monitor Papa's views on Naina.
Papa and Mama went into their room, while I told Naina to follow me to the room. I want to explain to Naina to be careful to Papa so that the events of that time do not happen again. I also told Naina to call me even in the office if Papa was acting on her. After I finished my business with Naina, the woman immediately passed from my room.

That night was not as usual, like there was a miracle in the middle of my family. We had dinner with Papa in a calm state. Usually this situation must lead to chaos with arguments that are not important in my opinion. Mama was busy enjoying the food on her plate, as well as Papa. After dinner, I started a conversation.
The purpose of the conversation is so that Papa really intends to change and improve himself in the future. I also told Papa that Mama and I were trying to make peace with this situation. Papa bowed with all my words. I also told him not to hesitate to make it worse if he acted again. Every now and then the middle-aged man nodded his head in agreement with all the rules I gave him. Including company issues.
After I finished speaking, Papa also spoke. He said he was sorry for what he had done. He also promised not to do anything anymore. She just kept quiet to hear the explanation from her husband. Just like in the hospital, Mama's eyes and heart were completely unaffected by the apology. The old man realized that his wife had a hard time accepting him back. The man knelt before his mother. I let that happen, I don't want to interfere for now. I'm sure Mama already knows what to do. Even though the man was on his knees Mama was still on his feet.
The man slowly stood up after a few minutes kneeling before Mama. After Papa sat back down, Mama opened her voice. Mama said the same thing as me, which is trying to make peace with the situation. A smile rose from the gray man's lips. It was a beautiful night all my life, where I could freely talk to Papa and Mama in one room. This is the situation I have wanted so much from before.
Suddenly I remembered Naina. I hit myself with the words I told Papa. I say goodbye to Papa and immediately find Naina in the kitchen. Obviously the smooth-skinned woman was busy washing the leftover dishes from our dinner.
I smiled at Naina who was behind me. Her hair that was curled up just like that made the woman look even more graceful in my eyes. I slowly approached him. I hugged the tiny body from behind. Naina was surprised by my spoiled behavior around her neck.
"Sir...."
"Don't talk Naina, I miss the scent of your body." I said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Naina turned around and that face was a few cent away from my face. He reminded me that we were in the kitchen. Instantly I let go of the hug and kissed her forehead. When he kissed his forehead, the young mother's face reddened like a boiled crab. I asked him to come to my room after he was done in the kitchen. I also passed from there.

A few minutes of waiting finally came. The woman walked up to the sofa and sat there. I approached him and sat facing him. Naina looks surprised by my actions towards her.
I began to apologize for my behavior towards her. He was still silent, not warting. I told him that I would earnestly accept and learn to be a good Imam to Naina and my Son. Tears escaped from Naina's face. He wiped those tears many times. I smiled at her behavior. I helped wipe those tears off her face with my thumb and carried them into my arms.
I will promise myself to learn to accept Naina as sincere as my heart and start all over. I will ignore the opinions and insults of others even my work partners about Naina's past.
After speaking at length I was silent for a while and still hugged Naina. Naina stretched her arms and looked inside at me. He said he was very grateful to have met and worked with me. He resigned whatever I did to him as long as he did not return to Justin. The woman explained while sobbing. I still am a good listener for him.
I kept holding the tiny hand as she told me about her life journey before she met me. About how he was treated by his family. How about when he could not have income but still forced to give some money to Justin to pay for living expenses because Naina hitchhiked in their house.
He also told me that he rarely slept while he was at Justin's residence. He works day and night. The woman grew sobbing when she remembered her life when she was employed in the other country. Across the country, Naina said she rarely fed and even occasionally mistreated. Hearing his story, it did not feel clear liquid fall on my cheeks. I hugged the young mother. He sobbed and kept sobbing.
I can't imagine the harshness of the life Naina lived. Plus all this time my erratic attitude towards him. But today I've made it my decision to start all over with Naina.
It didn't feel like I had a few hours to talk to Naina. I asked Naina to stay in my room. The woman is as usual. I carried her and laid Naina on my bed. Suddenly I heard a voice from outside, who else if not Mama.
Mama smiled when she saw Naina in my bed. I was a little embarrassed and my face started to blush like a boiled crab. Naina also began to move from the big size bed and approached Mama while bowed. Suddenly Mama kissed Naina on the forehead, making me smile at the sight before me. They embrace like a mother and child who haven't seen for years. This momentarily made my heart warm and moved.
