Wuthering Heights - Bab 19
The_Legacy
Warisan
Years passed, and Cathy and Hareton built a happy life together. They had children, who grew up in the two houses, running between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, enjoying the freedom of the moors.
Bertahun-tahun berlalu, dan Cathy dan Hareton membangun kehidupan yang bahagia bersama. Mereka memiliki anak-anak, yang tumbuh di dua rumah itu, berlarian antara Wuthering Heights dan Thrushcross Grange, menikmati kebebasan padang rumput.
Mrs. Dean grew old and watched the children play, remembering the dark days of the past. She told them stories about their ancestors, but she focused on the good parts, the love and courage that had survived even in the darkest times.
Nyonya Dean menjadi tua dan mengawasi anak-anak bermain, mengingat hari-hari gelap di masa lalu. Dia menceritakan kisah tentang leluhur mereka, tetapi dia berfokus pada bagian-bagian yang baik, pada cinta dan keberanian yang bertahan bahkan di masa-masa tergelap.
The children were fascinated by the stories of Heathcliff and Catherine, but they did not understand the darkness of those tales. To them, these were just stories from the past, like fairy tales, with no connection to their own happy lives.
Anak-anak terpesona oleh kisah Heathcliff dan Catherine, tetapi mereka tidak memahami kegelapan kisah-kisah itu. Bagi mereka, ini hanyalah kisah dari masa lalu, seperti dongeng, tanpa hubungan dengan kehidupan bahagia mereka sendiri.
Cathy and Hareton made sure their children were well-educated. They did not want them to suffer as Hareton had suffered, denied the opportunity to learn and grow. The children went to the best schools and learned about the world beyond the moors.
Cathy dan Hareton memastikan anak-anak mereka berpendidikan baik. Mereka tidak ingin mereka menderita seperti Hareton menderita, ditolak kesempatan untuk belajar dan tumbuh. Anak-anak bersekolah di sekolah terbaik dan belajar tentang dunia di luar padang rumput.
Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange were no longer dark, unhappy places. They were filled with light and laughter, with children's voices and the warmth of family. The old stories of ghosts and revenge were forgotten, replaced by new stories of love and hope.
Wuthering Heights dan Thrushcross Grange bukan lagi tempat yang gelap dan tidak bahagia. Mereka dipenuhi dengan cahaya dan tawa, dengan suara anak-anak dan kehangatan keluarga. Kisah-kisah lama tentang hantu dan balas dendam dilupakan, digantikan oleh kisah-kisah baru tentang cinta dan harapan.
Mrs. Dean often thought about Catherine and Heathcliff. She wondered what they would think if they could see how the houses had changed. Would they be angry, or would they be glad that the suffering had ended?
Nyonya Dean sering memikirkan Catherine dan Heathcliff. Dia bertanya-tanya apa yang akan mereka pikirkan jika mereka bisa melihat bagaimana rumah-rumah itu telah berubah. Apakah mereka akan marah, atau apakah mereka akan senang bahwa penderitaan telah berakhir?
She liked to think that they would be glad. That Catherine, who had loved so passionately, would be happy to see that her daughter's children were living with love and peace. And that Heathcliff, who had suffered so much, would finally find peace in knowing that the cycle of hatred was broken.
Dia suka berpikir bahwa mereka akan senang. Bahwa Catherine, yang mencintai dengan begitu penuh gairah, akan senang melihat bahwa anak-anak putrinya hidup dengan cinta dan kedamaian. Dan bahwa Heathcliff, yang sangat menderita, akhirnya akan menemukan kedamaian dengan mengetahui bahwa siklus kebencian telah dipatahkan.
The legacy of Wuthering Heights was no longer one of revenge and destruction. It was now a legacy of love and hope, passed down from generation to generation, growing stronger with each passing year.
Warisan Wuthering Heights bukan lagi balas dendam dan kehancuran. Itu sekarang menjadi warisan cinta dan harapan, diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi, tumbuh lebih kuat setiap tahun.
