Bad Wedding
The Part 68
After they sat down in the backyard, Alena looked at Alex in a daze. Because the man was still silent without saying a word.
"Alex what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Abian Atmajaya—"
"Stop Alex! Didn't I tell you, I don't want to hear anything about her" Alena said quickly. Because he did not want to hear anything related to Abian. Because he had to maintain his sanity so as not to miss the man even more.
"But the news I want to tell you has something to do with you."
"You mean?"
"Abian Atmajaya has agreed to divorce."
Deg.
Alena stared in disbelief at what Alex had said. After a long time he filed for divorce, and Abian who always refused on the grounds will approve their divorce on the condition that Alena herself who came directly to take care of it.
But now the man agrees to divorce despite his absence. Alena should be happy no, considering that that's what she's wanted all along. After all, the divorce between them was bound to happen sooner or later, but why did his heart feel pain hearing the news.
"You okay?" alex asked when he saw the shock on Alena's face.
Alena slowly nodded her head, then smiled even though she had to. "Good, then my status becomes clear."
Alex sighed harshly knowing that Alena was lying, the woman must have felt sad and her heart was again hurt by the news. Alex didn't want to make the news, but he had no choice.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Alena could not linger in the place, because the tears that did not remember when in both her eyes could not stand it anymore. "If there isn't, I'll..."
Like in a lightning strike, that's what Alena is feeling. He was really surprised by the second news from Alex. And not only was he shocked, but he also felt pain like many thorns stuck in his heart.
Alena should not need to feel heartache, considering that it has been three years to bury her feelings tightly. But in fact the pain remained, because of the deep love for Abian, for her husband who will soon become an ex-husband.
"Then as soon as you take care of our divorce, I don't want to get in the way of her happiness anymore." Alena stood up from her seat, about to leave the place to hide the tears that began to drip down her cheeks.
"You don't want to know who Abian Atmajaya's future wife is?"
Alena's footsteps stopped but it was only for a moment, because she resumed her steps rather than having to hear who the woman who would become Abian's wife. Either Sekar or whoever, obviously Alena is not ready to hear it.
"Alana Ricardo's..."
Deg.
Instantly also his footsteps stopped when he heard the name of his twin brother called.
"Alana Ricardo named Abian Atmajaya's future wife."
"Al.." murmured inwardly with lips that trembled violently. His chest felt tight, and it hurt like there were thousands of needles that pierced his heart, to make his body dazed and almost fell if only Alex was not able to catch him.
"Alena are you okay?" ask Alex worriedly.
Alena was silent and did not answer Alex's question.
"Cry if you want to cry" Alex said as she watched Alena shed tears, with no sound of crying coming out of her lips. Alena's current situation reminds her, when the woman was so bad when she found out her pregnancy was problematic. At that time Alena cried without a sound, because she bore such a heavy burden in her pregnancy alone without a husband.
