The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
196 A Letter
Three days after Shela's death. Yazmin received a call from the prison to retrieve items that belonged to Shela. Yazmin returned from the garage. He opened one by one the belongings of his former boss from inside the cardboard. He's stacking it on the table. His hand held two envelopes. Both of the lines open perfectly. One of the three envelopes has his name.
...“Yazmin"...
Yazmin's hand trembled as he opened the brown envelope. A handwritten letter by Shela to herself. As he read sentence by sentence from the letter. The tears of the Bandung-born girl dripped profusely in her tears as she continued to read the contents of the letter. An apology from Shela for all his attitude during his time as his boss.
He often belittles Yazmin. Or he who often humiliates his assistant. Sometimes the word stupid too often he addressed to Yazmin in front of the crowd.
A thank you from Shela for Yazmin made the tears from Yazmin more rapidly wet the cheeks of the woman who was 30 years old.
...“I don't know how to say thanks to Elo Yaz. All this time I have been very low. I used to insult Lo, but Elo came to be a fairy for me when everyone left me when I was in the dark of my life. Even Elo still wants to take care of my son. If Elo doesn't mind sending my son to the orphanage....
...I don't want him to know if he was born out of a woman's womb like mine. I also don't want Lo to be bothered to take care of my child with the status of Elo who is still single. I just hope Elo is happy. And find happiness someday. Through this letter I asked Elo to take care of my deposits and insurance. And the result will be Elo and my son. One of my life that I am very grateful for is that I have met ama Elo Yaz.”...
Yazmin could not help but cry. He wiped away the tears that had soaked his cheeks after he had embraced the letter. It turned out that one other letter was addressed to Ayra and Bram. In the letter Shela asks for her help to deliver the letter to Ayra.
Shela felt lucky to have met Liona a few days ago. The condition of the body that is getting weaker makes Shela decide to apologize to the person she has hurt and slander. Yazmin's tears were unstoppable at the end of the sentence written by Shela.
...“What a good friend is one who will not leave us when we are in a puddle of mud. Elo, is my best friend Yaz. Give my regards to Liona, Liona is luckier than me. He can fix himself. If my son is given a long life. I hope that before being handed over to the orphanage, Ayra will give my son's name. I have heard that the name is a prayer. I hope from the name that Ayra gives, my son is much better than me.”...
Yazmin cried so hard. He did not expect that his former boss was so quick to leave and had to leave in such circumstances. Yazmin who this morning tried to contact one of the producers who had been close to Shela had to end up with caci maki from the wife of the producer. The producer said that he and Shela have not had any relationship.
While the newborn baby needs documents or administration to be done surgery because according to the doctor there is a fluid that clogs the lungs of baby Shela until he has difficulty breathing. Yazmin sat on her bed, sending a message to Liona asking for Ayra's number. Yazmin must deliver a message from Shela to Ayra. When Yazmin's cell phone number calls Ayra. There was a voice from across that was very soft. Ayra received a call from Yazmin.
“Assalammualaikum,”
“Waykumussalamu warahmatulli wabarakatuh."
“Sorry to interrupt. I'm Yazmin, Shela's former assistant. I want to convey the mandate of Shela which is intended for mbak Ayra.”
There was a vague voice of a man who was none other than Bram who asked Yazmin to take the message of Shela to their Apartermen. Bram is increasingly seeing if his wife is getting tired. The results of yesterday's examination made them shocked because of a surprise for Bram and Ayra that in Ayra's fetus there are twins.
Where in the position of pregnancy in the eighth month the doctor was quite surprised because Ayra's baby turned out to look twin from the catch of USG. Where during this time the position of one of the baby Ayra is completely hidden so it is not visible when checked ultrasound. This condition is called hidden twins.
It is appropriate if the wife bram often feels fatigue when taken to walk for too long at the age of the womb which has entered eight months. So Bram is very worried and overprotective of his wife. Ayra finally followed her husband's orders. He was forced to ask Yazmin to go to his apartment.
“Before I apologized Yazmin. But can we meet in my apartment. Because today I am so weak.”
“Oh it's okay Ma'am. Later just send the address.”
The conversation ended when Yazmin said hello. Late in the afternoon, Yazmin came to the address sent by Ayra. Upon arriving at the luxury apartment, he sat in the front room. He was greeted by Ayra who did look a little pale.
“Sorry so trouble you Yazmin.”
“Instead I am sorry for holding up my watku break mbak.”
Ayra asked Yazmin to sit down. Before long Bik Asih appeared to bring drinks for his guests. Bik Asih asked Bram to accompany his wife in the apartment during her work.
After Ayra's invitation to drink, Yazmin handed her a letter from Shela. The letter he wrote after meeting Liona. A letter written on white hvs paper. It could even look like there was a red stain that was like a scar of blood. The actual blood fell from Shela's nose as she finished writing the letter to Ayra.
He who could not replace it with a new letter finally slipped the letter with a letter to Yazmin. Shela was lucky to write that letter. Because his desire to meet Bram and Ayra to apologize in person turned out to be unfulfilled. Ayra's husband who still feels hurt on her makes her not allow Ayra to see Shela.
Yazmin also explained that the letter was a letter that Shela tucked in a photo of him when accompanying Shela in Paris when there was a fashion show.
"This letter, Shela tucked along a letter for me. The envelope clearly says that this letter is for Mr. Bram mbak Ayra."
Ayra flipped the envelope, it was written her name and the husband. Ayra decided to open the letter later. He was curious about the condition of baby Shela.
"The baby had to have surgery because there was fluid that clogged his respiratory tract."
"Astaghfirullah's.... It's so sorry."
"Yes, poor baby. The man who's been with your house a lot doesn't want to admit that he's his son."
"So the man didn't admit it either?"
"What I'm worried about is that the man also contracted the same disease as She-."
"Yazmin Stop. Don't continue."
Ayra did not want Yazmin to continue his sentence making her have to listen to a bad thing that Shela had done and Yazmin told her about the ugliness she had done.
Yazmin covered his mouth with one of his hands. After a long conversation. Yazmin had to say goodbye because he had to deliver some packages to the expedition. She no longer works as Shela's assistant. He became a reseller of several online shops owned by model friend Shela. Until he can manage his time.
Ayra who was alone in the front room immediately returned to the sofa when Yazmin had left. He opened the envelope. A very neat handwriting.
...Assalamualaik....
...I don't know where I'm going to start this letter. I'd love to meet you and Bram. I don't know what letter I wrote because I I had a hard time choosing the language and words that you both deserve....
...It feels inappropriate for me to come back to disturb both of you. I saw a picture of you guys that Liona brought a while ago. I can see you guys living happily....
...Through this letter, I apologize to you and Bram. For all my mistakes. For all my slander, for all the sorrow, the abuse I have accused you of. Bram is lucky to have a wife who has such a strong and kind heart like you. Liona convinced me many times yesterday that you must have forgiven me. But I'm not satisfied if I don't tell you directly and Bram....
...Let me apologize to you both for all my sins. May you a noble-hearted woman give a name to my son. Because I feel the name you will give is a prayer for my son so that he can be happy in his life and not be a sinful woman like his mother....
...One thing you need to know Ayra, all this time I was the one who was always chasing Bram. He never touched any woman. I always tease him, until a video that has happened a long time ago. In the video nothing more happened. I beg you to forgive me for the slander I accuse you of Bram....
...May you both forgive me. And I pray that you two will always be happy. Forgive me for this sin....
...TTd....
...Shelby Wilona. ...
Both of Ayra's cheeks had been wet from tears. He felt regret for not being able to meet Shela as his last request. He was sad because he remembered death so close to every human being. He also felt if he was today considered good by the people around him really because the disgrace that was on him was still closed by God.
"Me and you are Shel. I also have sins. It is just that God is still merciful to cover my disgrace from the eyes of those who see me. There is no creature in this world that has not escaped sin.....Hix.... Hicks...."
Bik Asih who finished with her work in the kitchen was shocked to see Ayra talking to herself and was crying while hugging a piece of paper.
"I've forgiven you Shela. May God forgive every sin you have ever committed."
The confused Bik Asih rubbed his master's back.
"What's the Non... Why not cry. You can't be sad when the baby's sad."
Ayra hugged Bik Asih so that her crying did not return to being.
"Shela sent Bi a letter. Ayra sadly read the letter from the late Shela."
"It's soft your heart Non. Women like that can still be grieved. It's hurt, it's made non and den Bram separate. What your heart is made of is not."
What a good name, though, good morals during life are also important in addition to our worship charity because sometimes without us realizing our character is not good may be able to make the hearts of those around us hurt until finally feel hurt without we realize. Until the body no longer exists in the world. People only remember the ugliness of our behavior as long as this body is still with the spirit in the world.
