...MARRIED FOR DIVORCE...

...Written by David Khanz...

...---------- o0o---------------...

That afternoon, the phone rang for the umpteenth time. From the same contact number. Kiranti. The woman I have studied until now. I'll talk about yesterday and before. Half lazy, had to be lifted also with a heavy heart.

"Yes, hello. What's up, Ran?" ask me after stopping work activities for a moment.

"Where are you, Rajiv?" Kiranti's voice was behind the cell phone. Ogre. Maybe he is depressed about the problem he is facing. "I need to be with you. Have some free time?"

I looked at the computer screen. Still leaves a stack of office tasks that have not been completed. "I'm in the office, Ran. Still work."

"Is this hour still in the office? Overtime?" ask Randy back.

Scroll down the right screen of the computer. Half six o'clock in the afternoon. Magrib in a minute. Then he said, "Yes, I'm overtime. There's a job I need to get done today."

"Until when?" Ranti's voice sounded urgent. "Back overtime, you can meet me, right? At the cafe where we used to meet."

I took a deep breath, confused to answer. It'sit's nothing. There is a sense of reluctance to meet the woman, at this time. Especially on the same topic. "I don't know, Ran. My job is not yet done."

Ranti's snoring was just across the street. Then he said, "Why are you, Rajiv? Every time I meet, I seem to avoid it. You don't want to see me?"

"It's not so, Ran. But …. "

"I thought you still loved me. It's like this, your attitude!" Kiranti's voice tone was high.

"I didn't mean it, Ran. Excuse me. But I …. " Slightly doubt I continue to speak. Kiranti's attitude quickly relapsed if her wishes were not immediately fulfilled.

"Okay, if you want that. I won't call you again!" threaten Kiranti deafen her ears.

"Wait, Ran," I urged her not to hang up. "Okay, I'll meet you. At eight o'clock, we meet in an ordinary place. How's it?"

"Well, so dong. That's just the Rajiv I've known all along" Kimpal Kiranti sounded the same. "I'm waiting. Look out, don't come here."

"Yes, Ran. I'll be there later," I'll finally reply.

I took a breath after closing the conversation. This head suddenly felt pulsating. Dizziness. Concentration broke out, between thinking about work and meeting Kiranti later.

I admit, this love for the woman, has not faded. Since they were both in college, these seeds of love began to grow. I don't know, there's no courage to express. Especially if you measure yourself, it is not comparable to me who is just an ordinary person must be paired with the prima donna alma mater. Kiranti nan beautiful comes from a family, and papa is one of the influential in the campus environment. Biggest funders there. No wonder he was so privileged at the time.

Sure enough, Kiranti knew that I was appraising her. Even from this, he often used the opportunity to take unilateral advantage. Doing college tasks to make it thesis. That's all I do. But after completing the level of education, Kiranti suddenly moved away and last heard the news, she got married. Her husband was none other than my own contract partner. Rizal.

I didn't believe it at first. But that's the fact. The roommate who for years was in a state of concern, actually now appears as the winner in a hidden competition. I don't know, in what way he can hook Kiranti's heart to the knee. From the grapevine of news, in addition to the stomach of the woman I love was indubitable first, Rizal used an unusual path. Useful.

'Simps!' rutukku that time. 'Can't go through fair and natural ways? Without using such mystical scented things!'

Now Kiranti is back after a long time disappeared. Kisruh in his household with Rizal, led the woman to come to me. Complete with sedu sedan and complex problems.

"Help me, Rajiv," Kiranti said early on we met some time earlier. "I know, you used to like me, right? I don't know now. But that's what makes me have to see you."

Kiranti tells him that Rizal has divorced her. Not just that once. But it's the third time. But with the reason still love each other, Rizal regrets and intends to return to the lap of his ex-wife. Stupid Kiranti, she still wants to be referred. Of course, this should not happen under religious law. There must be a break that requires the woman to marry another man. The choice, it fell on me. To this day, I still don't want to get married. Due to the shadow of this feeling on Kiranti, it has not been able to open this heart to other women.

"Married me for a while, Rajiv. So that I could return to my ex-husband's lap, "kiranti asked.

My forehead wrinkled. "You mean, we get married and then get divorced again, and after that you'll remarry with Rizal? That so?"

Kiranti nodded. "I still love Mas Rizal, Rajiv. I can't live without him."

'Bullshit! What is the classic reason for love in the millennium era like today? It is so easy to say love, but on the other hand it is fond of sowing hatred!' I was sick of hearing their household stories.

"Did Rizal know if you'd met me, Ran?" manyaku. Kiranti nodded back, she replied, "Even she asked me to see you, Rajiv."

'Damn it! The unrelenting curse complicates my life!'

"Why didn't he meet me himself?" A sudden sense of resentment lingered as the man's name was pronounced.

Kiranti shook her head sadly. "Maybe he didn't dare, Rajiv."

"Am I creepy, huh? He's nobody anymore" I said after sipping a soft drink on the cafe table. "We used to be together when we were in college. Why avoid now?"

"I don't know" replied Kiranti. "Can you be embarrassed, maybe?"

"Hhmmm," I muttered with a snort. Long silent, then continued, "Why should I, Ran? There is no other man you know. I'm sure there's a lot out there that won't refuse to take your wife."

"That means you don't want to?" Kiranti looked at me softly. "Please, Rajiv."

Had Kiranti asked me to marry for no such purpose, I would have welcomed her wholeheartedly. Even preparing to give him affection in place of the thing that was penned by Rizal. Ending this time of solitude with a much loved woman.

"I beg you, Rajiv. I just want you to help me. For the sake of me and Rizal," urged Kiranti.

I was silent for a long time. Thinking about giving an answer. Until he finally says, "Give me some time, Ran. It's not a trivial matter. Especially with respect to religious law."

"Religious law?" Kiranti frowned. "I also know a little about it. So ask your help to solve our problem. Please, Rajiv."

Actually, I really want a lot about Kiranti's plan, but it takes additional time to explain it. It's nothing, sometimes there are still many people who do not understand about this one. Therefore, without giving any hope, I try to buy as much time as possible until I find the right moment.

The awaited moment arrives when it is not expected. That afternoon. Kiranti again questioned my willingness to marry her. Just as a condition so that he can return to the lap of Rizal halal religiously.

After completing the office duties, I fulfilled an appointment to meet him at a cafe. But this time there is a figure of Rizal who accompanied Kiranti. Rather reticently, it seemed, the man was saluting. It was seen from the attitude and the sound vibrated when we spoke.

"When haven't we met, Jiv?" rizal said in pleasantries, "how are you?"

I smiled wryly. "As you can see now, Zal. This is how I am" I replied as I sat facing them. Do not forget to order a glass of soft drink, because on the table there are only two glasses owned by Rizal and Kiranti.

After a long conversation off topic, I finally opened the conversation according to a promise that had been said some time ago to Kiranti.

"Look, Zal and Ranti, too" I started the official chat. "You don't want to and like it or not, I have to explain to you both, about Kiranti's request for help yesterday."

Kiranti and Rizal were getting ready to listen. "By the way, Rajiv. We're ready for your explanation."

I took a deep breath first, then continued to say, "First of all, I'm happy if you two intend to reunite. Building a household that had been scattered. That's been a good cornerstone, because you're basically still in love with each other, right?"

Rizal and Kiranti nodded. "Of course, we love each other. That's why we intend to return. Although legally religious, must go through certain processes and conditions," Rizal said. Kiranti.

"Alright, I think in this case you guys already understand apparently. So, no need at length I explain it," continued my words. "Only, there's one thing I need to get right here, that your plans for me like this are not justified in religion."

"What do you mean, Jiv?" asked Rizal to interrupt. He turned to Kiranti for a moment, then turned to look at me.

"To get Kiranti to marry me first as well as other men, as a condition that you can be together again, is forbidden by our religion," I said, greeted by the sour look of both. "It's not that easy, after you drop the third talaq on Kiranti, Zal. A planned marriage is especially temporary just as a hindrance, that fall can be haram. I think there's no need to explain the definition of the word haram itself, right? You must have understood."

"So you still don't want to help us, Rajiv?" Kiranti seemed unhappy to hear my explanation.

"As long as it does not violate and contradict religious law, I am ready to help you. But not in terms of what we're talking about right now, Ranti," I said.

"Lho, what's the difference with this problem, Jiv?" Rizal also spoke. "Isn't this also in order to help? You helped us so that Kiranti and I could get back together. That's all."

"Sorry, Zal. Like I said, it's not allowed in religion. Whatever the reason, I can't help you guys" I said. "I'm sorry."

Rizal snorted loudly. "What kind of rules is that? Is there no special dispensation, so we can return halal? What kind of friend do you not want to help at all?"

I tried to calm down and decorate each speech with a smile. "It's not me who's resisting, man. But it is you who speaks," I said quietly. "Marriage is a sacred bond. We cannot play with the law, let alone the religious rules. Temporary marriage plans like the ones you have told me are the same as marriage or marriage contracts. In our religion, it is strictly forbidden. If you want to reunite, then Kiranti must first marry another man, without frills will ask for divorce from her new husband later to return to you, Rizal. All must happen through a natural process without terms and conditions. In addition, marriage with her new husband must occur until the process of intercourse. If not, then it is not legal. Unless something else happens."

Rizal. "Don't you really intend to have Kiranti, right? Don't you ever have a crush on a former cave wife?"

I'm stunned. It was almost a surge of emotion that exploded, but the hunt was on hold. Rizal's tone had changed. Still with a smile, I said, "Hhmmm, honestly. I don't want to be a hypocrite, Zal. But if I have to marry Kiranti to meet the conditions in question, I say not at all. It's the same as supporting the slack. Sorry, I better find another woman."

"Bominate you!" rutuk Rizal started to get rough.

"Whatever you say, Zal. But as a friend, I can only tell you; be a tough guy and not cheap to drop a talaq. If you still love your wife, defend her with all your faith. But right now, your hope is in Kiranti. Your ex-wife. If now or later you stick to the original plan, then ..your marriage will not be valid. That is, all your ages will continue to berzi—"

BYUR!

Suddenly Rizal swung the drink in front of him, then spilled the contents into my face.

"Mas Rizal!" kiranti was surprised. So do I. But still still trying to dampen the emotions that increasingly enslaved, stifling the chest.

"We leave this cowardly human, Kiranti! It's just free to ask for his help. Nothing to expect!" Rizal got up from sitting while clucking his waist.

"But what Rajiv said earlier, it's true, Mas. I can't go back to marrying you" exclaimed Kiranti again.

The cafe guests turned towards us.

"Shut up, Kiranti!" rizal Bentak. "Can't you think, it's been a long time since he has also wanted to enjoy your body! In his brain there's only a perverted word! Maybe because he never did it for a long time!"

BUKS!

Suddenly I unconsciously got up, then lay the fist as hard as possible on Rizal's face. Instantly, the man fell down with a crackle on his nose.

"Thank you, man! Finally, the virginity of my head may break today about your face" I said coldly. "You know, I've defended it after we finished college first. Hopefully it can give a sign, that's what you deserve as a human who claims to be FRIEND."

After saying, I hurried away leaving the figure of Rizal who was still lying down while grimacing holding a bloody nose. No matter the look of a few eyes in every corner of the cafe. Especially Kiranti's shout, following this step while calling me my name.
