The Former
HAPPY FAMILY'S

Plakkk

Rafael clapped the right side of Yuda's face slowly.

"Well!" Yuda immediately opened his eyes as he felt a small pat on his face.

Plakkk

Rafael returns to the left side.

"What'sthis? Why didn't Rafael hit me in the face? Why did he just pat her".

Yuda was shocked when he saw the grinning smile on Rafael's face.

"Why is your face so shocked, do you expect me to hit your face so hard to bat" Rafael said with a grin.

"Should I hit you harder than this ?" Connect again.

Rafael again gave a few pats on his stepbrother's cheek until the action made everyone shocked because they did not understand what was really going on. Miss Linda and Aunt Yuni looked at each other as well as Ronald and Shella, they were surprised to see the scene that happened before him. Meanwhile Nindy and Yuri grinned slightly, because out of everyone only the two of them were aware of what was going on.

Judah rubbed his cheek with a heart that was still wondering what Rafael had just done. Not over the shock that Yuda felt, he had to go back in shock when unexpectedly Rafael grabbed his body and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry my brother, I should have hugged you like this a long time ago" Rafael said, patting Yuda on the shoulder.

Yuda was fixated, he did not know what to react to, all this was quite unexpected. Judah had not expected Rafael to embrace his body like that. And it turned out that not only Judah was surprised by the attitude of Rafael who suddenly embraced his body, everyone present at the place was also no less surprised than Judah. They never thought that Rafael would do that and it was clear that the change in the look of Rafael's face which was originally very cold became warmer with a smile on his lips.

Rafael let go of his embrace and again patted Judah on the shoulder with both hands.

"I'm sorry, because I'm too cowardly to accept this reality" he said.

"Maybe our relationship won't be this bad if I've been willing to take care of your family for a long time".

"Do you want to forgive me?" Ask Rafael.

Yuda was still silent for a while, he felt like a dream until he finally woke up and said Rafael.

"There's nothing to forgive Raf, because there's nothing wrong. It is the circumstances that make us have to experience all this. And I'm also sorry that I never tried to repair our relationship earlier. Just like you said earlier, I also have the feeling that I might even be more cowardly than you" Yuda said.

Rafael smiled as he nodded his head, it was a relief when we opened our hearts to forgive each other.

"So now we are brothers?" Ask Yuda expectantly.

"Yes, you've been my brother for a while. I will train you and do some trials to see if you are suitable to be my brother or not" said Rafael who immediately got a sharp gaze from Yuda.

"I'm ready to go on probation and I will try to prove that I deserve and deserve to be your brother" said Yuda.

Rafael nodded in agreement, pleased that he could finally make up with the Hutama family.

"We'll see" he said.

Rafael again grabbed Yuda's body and took him into an embrace, long silent at last Yuda ventured to reciprocate Rafael's embrace. Yuda returned Rafael's embrace with pleasure and relief, who would have thought if it turned out Rafael would welcome his intention to unite their two families.

Prokkk prokkk

"Yey,,,,,!" Everyone was delighted to welcome the peace that had just taken place.

Madam Linda and Aunt Yuni looked at each other for a moment until Nindy finally approached the two and united her mother-in-law's hands. Nindy looked at Linda and Aunt Yuni alternately while nodding her head in hints if she wanted them to embrace the same as Rafael and Judah did.

"Now we are a family and from now on there is no longer any distance between us" Nindy said.

Aunt Yuni smiled then nodded slowly while Linda was still silent, she looked at the woman who had been ten years her honeymoon. The pain and disappointment of being betrayed is certainly still there and still imprinted until now, but time has long passed and Linda should make peace with the past and accept the destiny God has carved for her family.

"Ma!" Nindy cried softly

Nindy hopes that her mother-in-law will accept Aunt Yuni and Hutama's family.

Aunt Yuni extended her hand towards Linda and said :

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes, madam. I know that Linda was very hurt over my marriage to Aaron. I'm sorry for being a thorn in my marriage, but one thing you should know if our marriage is a formality because our goal is only to protect the Hutama family and also the Mahendra family" said Aunt Yuni.

Ms. Linda sighed softly and looked at Aunt Yuni for a moment then raised her hand and grabbed Aunt Yuni's helping hand and said :

"It's all over and I'm tired of all this. Maybe it's time I forgive Aaron and accept your presence in my family".

"I'm sorry, because I was prejudiced against you" Linda said.

"There is nothing to forgive, it is the circumstances that make us like this. And I hope that we can establish a better relationship than before" said Aunt Yuni.

Madam Linda nodded again and unexpectedly he approached and immediately hugged Aunt Yuni tightly while Aunt Yuni immediately returned her embrace Linda. Nindy smiled watching the beautiful scenery in front of her, she was relieved to see her two mothers-in-law making up for each other and hugging.

"Ma" Madam Linda let go of her embrace upon hearing the call from Rafael.

"Honey" Ms. Linda smiled to see Rafael coming closer.

Raphael embraced the mother and took her into his arms.

"Papa wants our family to be united ma, and we must fulfill papa's wishes even though it is very late" said Rafael.

Ms. Linda nodded in tears, she regretted that she was still holding anger towards her husband even after the husband was gone.

"Tante is also sorry Raf, because all this started from aunty" said Aunt Yuni as Rafael let go of his mother's embrace.

Rafael nodded slowly.

Nindy grabs Rafael's hand and Aunt Yuni's hand so that the two can shake hands with each other and Nindy's intention is to get a good reception from Rafael. Not only shaking hands, but Rafael also hugged Aunt Yuni until the two embraced each other. The clapping was heard again, everyone was moved to see the peace that was created at this time.

Nindy rubbed the corner of her dewy eyes, she felt moved to see the two families finally coming together. Currently, all members of the Mahendra family and Hutama family are seen hugging each other, they seem to be pouring out all the feelings that have been hidden. After a long wait, Nindy finally managed to unite the Hutama family and Mahendra family.
