..."No one knows what will happen in the future. There are times when we will drink a joke and happiness. But there are also times when we will meet with the name of sadness."...
(Slightly verse )
At a leisurely pace Dominic walked into his house. After going away from everything that made him feel so burdened, Dominic finally decided to return after meeting a sage. Yes, unexpectedly in his escape Dominic met someone who has a life story much more sad than his own life. From the wise man, Dominic's heart and mind opened and chose to return to his family. Dominic is the head of the household in this house, it should be for him to embrace his son and wife when their family is in trouble, not to go on the run like this. Fortunately, he met the right person. If not, then Dominic is very suitable if called a coward.
"Dom, are you home?" asked Mili who immediately moved from her seat. She was daydreaming alone in the living room thinking about Kanita.
Without answering anything Dominic immediately walked quickly to Mili and hugged her tightly. He felt very sad to see this tired look on his wife's face.
"Dom, what's wrong with you? You're okay, aren't you?" mili asked confusedly at her husband's slightly strange behavior. Even so, Mili still returned the hug while stroking her husband's back slowly.
"Mili, I'm sorry for letting you face this problem alone. My mind was messed up, so I chose to leave to find some quiet outside the house" Dominic said after breaking his arms. While stroking his wife's tired-looking face, Dominic inquires about Kanita's state. "How is Kanita doing today? Is he ready to talk?"
With a heavy heart Mili shook her head. Her tongue seemed to be stuck when she remembered the threat that would marry Kanita to just anyone.
Realizing that something has happened between his son and his wife, Dominic patiently guides Mili back to sit on the sofa. She gives him a warm hug that he hasn't done since Kanita started making trouble with his family.
"Mili, whatever Kanita's decision will be let's bear the risk together. And also let us take care and raise our future grandchildren with full affection. It's okay if Kanita is reluctant to say who the father of our grandchildren is, it doesn't matter to me anymore. The most important thing now is that the content is fine. What people think about our family, don't care anymore. And if you feel uncomfortable living in Japan, I don't mind moving abroad and settling there!" dominic said with legowo accept all the consequences that will happen to his family. "You and Kanita are the most precious treasures I have. I don't want to see you guys living unhappy lives."
"Dominic, w-why are you suddenly talking like this? You ... are not in an unsettled mind right? You're not planning anything bad, are you? You....
Mili was very shocked when she heard her husband's words. Truly, Mili never imagined Dominic would talk like this. It feels strange, really very strange because before Dominic was so angry and hateful for the actions of Kanita who continued to refuse to tell who the person who had impregnated her. But after disappearing without news, her husband suddenly came home and said something like this. Naturally, if Mili thinks that no-no. Mili is very afraid that this is a form of despair Dominic in dealing with problems in his family.
"I'm fine, Mili. And I have my own reasons for talking to you like this" Dominic said, noting the concerns his wife was feeling. "So while I was in the woods, I accidentally met a sage. From him I learned many valuable lessons about the meaning of a family. You know, Mili. It turns out that out there there are many people whose family fate is almost the same as what we are experiencing. Their child gave birth without a husband, but they did not hate him at all. I am ashamed of those who can be so hard to forgive their children's mistakes despite having to lose self-esteem in front of many people. They face all insults so patiently without sacrificing family happiness. Not like me who was desperate and felt like a failure to be a father. I shouldn't have been rude to Kanita at the time, but embraced it while saying that everything would be fine. Because the real cause of all this is us, Mili. Kanita became like this because we who failed to take her to a good path. And it's because of our stupidity that he went down the wrong path like this. He's not the one we should hate, but us. We have to take responsibility for what happened to his life."
"Does this mean you'll forgive Kanita and accept the baby as our grandchild?" asked Mili with teary eyes.
Mili's cry instantly broke upon hearing her husband's reply. It is truly God's miracle. I don't know what kind of wise man has turned his husband's heart to be gentle like this. Truly, Mili was very, very grateful to the man. Without it, this problem would never have found a bright spot.
"Here, don't cry anymore. It's better now that we go see Kanita. I want to apologize for slapping him yesterday" Dominic said, gently wiping away the tears that had soaked his wife's face.
"Dom, this isn't a dream, is it? You're not kidding, are you?" ask Mili who still does not believe see a change in attitude in her husband. This is too surprising for Mili.
"No, hon. I will truly forgive and embrace our daughter's mistakes. Yes, you don't worry anymore. Let's go see Kanita. Poor him, he must have been very depressed this time around. I don't want that pressure to affect the growth and development of our future grandchildren. Come on!" dominic answered and stood up.
Mili quickly held the hand of her husband who wanted to go to Kanita's room. Mili hesitates, and is also a little scared when she wants to tell Dominic about the threat she's been making to their daughter.
"Mili, what's wrong?" dominic is confused.
"Dom, I actually threatened Kanita because she still didn't want to tell me who the father of our grandchild was. I ... I threatened to marry Kanita to just anyone if in these two days she still hasn't confessed either. But Dom, I did it all because I had to. I'm upset because Kanita is so hard to speak honestly. So I guess we better not meet him first. Let Kanita ponder for these two days. Yes," Mili replied quietly.
Dominic speechless. A second later, he smiled. He was very able to understand the reason his wife issued such a threat to their daughter. After that Dominic crouched in front of Mili then clasped his hands tightly.
"I know what you're doing is for Kanita's sake. I support you, baby," Dominic said with a smile.
"Aren't you angry?" tanya Mili made sure.
"You Kanita speak honestly or not, to me you are still the most precious treasure. I don't care about people's responses if they find out that Kanita is pregnant out of wedlock. Fuck all that. Because for me now the most important thing is the happiness and wholeness of our family. Besides, I don't care. If indeed you think this is the best, then we wait two more days to meet Kanita. Don't be afraid, I'm not angry at you at all" Dominic replied gently. He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. "It's late, we'd better go to the room. Your face looks so tired, you must be so stressed thinking about me and Kanita. We're taking a break, okay?"
"Alright," said Mili with a heart so relieved. It felt like the heavy burden that had been squeezing her chest was immediately lifted as soon as she received the sweet treatment from her husband. Tonight it looks like Mili is going to fall asleep really well.
