Before Divorce
Chapter 24 - A Soulmate from the Future

Shiena was silent on the way home. He felt that something was wrong with Anila's attitude earlier.

Shiena indeed did not reprimand Anila directly. But he knew that the girl was hiding something from Shiena and Friska.

"She!" shandy's call made Shiena aware.

"Eh? Yes Bang."

"Udah. You daydream what the hell until not aware if it's already home."

"Eh?" Shiena circulated her eyes. Turns out Shandy's car has gone into their yard.

"Heheheh, sorry Bang." Shiena scratched her nape.

"She, if anyone wants you to tell his brother, tell him a story. You're ready to hear your story."

Shiena reviewed her smile. "It's nothing, Bang."

"Trus about you the same..."

Without even continuing her sentence, Shiena knew that what her sister meant was Willy.

"I'm the same Willy. We're friends, Bang."

Shandy nodded in understanding. "Yes, do not overload your mind with things that are not necessarily going to happen. Sskarang just focus on your college so cepet help brother in the company later."

Shiena nodded.

"Willy's going out of the company. He's gonna join his father's company."

Shiena smiled with relief. That means his efforts so far have not been in vain.

...***...

The next day, Shiena searches for Anila's whereabouts. But what was sought was nowhere. Even when Shiena called her mobile number, Anila also did not answer the call from her.

"Where the hell is he? Did something happen to her?" shiena Mumbled.

Shiena contacted Friska and asked her. But it turns out that Friska doesn't know about Anila's whereabouts either. Friska is not even on campus today. They take on a different schedule.

Not wanting to continue worrying about Anila, Shiena decided to go to Anila's boarding house. And sure enough, Shiena managed to find her best friend.

"Shyena?" Anila's face looked pale upon seeing Shiena's arrival.

"Lady, you're okay, right? Lo sick?" Shiena walked into Anila's room.

"Gue's fine, She. Just a little lemes. Probably exhausted. That's why I didn't go to college today."

"Nil, now you're honest with me. What the hell is it?" Shiena invited Anila to speak from heart to heart.

Anila looked down at her face. He knew that he could not hide from Shiena. Shiena had always been a taste, and she always cared about her friends.

"Don't tell me what I think is real, Nile. Lo.... also come from my future kayak...?"

Shiena's question was answered with a weak nod of Anila.

Shiena closed her mouth in disbelief. "Couldn't you? Do you also experience what I'm going through?"

Anila did not reply in a voice, but only with a nod.

"Huh?! So..." Shiena was unable to continue her words.

"Yes, She. I'm also in the process of getting divorced like lo." Anila's cry finally broke.

"Gue himself does not know why I can go back to this time. Maybe it's because I'm expecting someone to be my soul mate in the future. But that dream is gone in the present. That's why we've never been a fool..." Anila removed the clear fur that was wetting her cheeks.

Shiena tried to understand Anila's current position. From what Shiena saw, what Anila experienced was much heavier than what Shiena had experienced.

Shiena gently rubbed Anila's back to calm her down.

"Thank you, She. You are a good friend."

Shiena commented a smile. "Gue grab a drink!"

Shiena headed towards the small table in the room and took the water from inside the drink jar.

"Reverse, She. I should have been the one to drink." Anila chuckled with Shiena's demeanor.

"Hahaha, it's okay. It is sad again. I am not! This is a drink first!" Shiena pushed the glass towards Anila.

"Thank you, She." Anila set her breath before telling Shiena everything.

"So, on graduation day, my mom and dad called me if they couldn't come here. They just said that I should go home soon after graduation because there's something important they want to talk about."

"I didn't suspect anything at all about them. But once home, I was shocked because I was fooled by the son of a rich merchant in my village. The reason is cliche, you can't pay the merchant a debt."

"And what makes me more shocked is, it turns out that all this time my college money is the result of debt to the merchant..."

Shiena clasped Anila's hand. The crying broke again.

"Gue didn't expect the same father my mother would lie to me. If you know this, I can help them here. I can work part-time while I'm in college."

Shiena was a little confused. "Wait a moment, if you already know about this means..."

"Yes, She. I currently work at a restaurant near here. I work after college. Maybe I am tired because I don't have this habit. But it's okay. I have to do this so I can pay my father's debts to the merchant."

Anila was already calmer and could smile a little.

"So what makes you want to separate your husband?"

Finally, the core question that became the root of the problem was triggered also by Shiena.

"He ... did violence to me, She. He was not as good as I knew him when I first met him. He's a hard man, he's always forcing his will."

"All I remember is that I ran away from home in a battered state. From there I beg the same universe to restore the time where I have not met him. And it turns out that tomorrow, I wake up in this boarding house."

Shiena immediately hugged Anila. They strengthen each other because they both feel disappointment in their marriage.

...***...

After returning from Anila's boarding house, Shiena headed straight to her house. Shiena saw Shandy tinkering at his motorcycle in front of the house.

"What's up?" Shiena crouched down following Shandy.

"Magain cleanin the sweet. It has not been made for a long time. Poor him. He's my brother's favorite, She. He always accompanied the old brother in high school until college."

Shiena poked her lips. "Pantes aja brother does not have a girl, which in elus-elus even motor anyway!" sneered Shiena.

"Well, good on you! I also think about girls, She. But brother does not want to late dating. Fear of many negatives. So, brother wants to meet the same klop, brother wants to marry me directly."

Shiena smiled meaningfully. "Do not go far. The soul mate from the future has come!" Shiena blinked her eyes.

Shandy looked at his sister questioningly.

"You mean?"

"Here I tell you brother!" Shiena asked Shandy to bring her ears closer.

Shiena whispered something into Shandy's ear. And it succeeded in making her brother turn his head in disbelief.
