                                              An apology is the realization of one's mistake and acceptance of full responsibility of a wrongful deed in awareness of it's repercussions.
                          Forgiveness on the other hand is not a responsive action to an apology. But fully understanding the pain of being hurt or wrongfully done and eventually deciding to let go.
This is because forgiveness can occur in absence of an apology.
                          The power of an apology is usually misused due to ignorance of it's complete definition.
They tend to skip the last part, using the idea of an apology as an indirect excuse to the consequence of their initial action.

                          do not be a slave to the master of apology
                          THE FACT THAT YOU APOLOGIZED DOES NOT MEAN I MUST FORGIVE.
This happens following the definition of forgiveness.
Forgiveness cannot be imposed on someone who has not yet decided to let go, everyone has rights to be mad or angry at someone for being hurt. 
It takes time to heal
Your apology does not just eradicate the pain.
