Before Divorce
Chapter 4 - PoV Willy

I flinched from my daydream when Alex came into my room and threw a map over my desk. I looked at him questioningly.

"What does this mean? You want to divorce Shiena?"

Alex asked with a breath of anger. I'm speechless. I looked at the map on the table. It was a file sent by a divorce lawyer.

"Answer, Wil! You want to divorce Shiena? Wipe it?!"

I know Alex must be mad. And how can this file be in his hands?

"Satpam put it on me because he knows we're in one office."

I'm still silent. It felt really stifling when Alex kept looking for me.

"Answer, Wil!" Alex pulled my body.

"What should I answer? You read the file, right?"

"Fuck lo!" Alex was ready to hit me in the face but it turned out that his hand was stuck in the air.

Alex released me. He rubbed his face rough.

"Why, Wil? Why would you want to split up with Shiena? I know Shiena is the same because I know you're a good person. I realized I was a jerk, so I gave up. But why...?"

Alex's voice was choked. I can't answer anything. Because this is what happened.

"Fuck lo! If you know you're finally divorcing Shiena, I'd better take Shiena from you!"

Not getting a response from me, Alex chose to leave my room. I looked back at the map on the table. Tonight I want to give this file to Shiena.

After work, I went straight home. I was warmly welcomed by Shiena as usual. Her soft, pampered voice I've been hearing for 10 years.

Even so, I can't wait anymore. I want to talk to Shiena directly. Sooner or later he will know my plan.

Shiena was angry with me. He even condemned not wanting to meet me in this time or the future.

I saw him cry. For five years of marriage, I never saw Shiena cry. Because only happiness I always give her. The happiness he wanted, but not the one we wanted.

I don't know, we don't feel like we're in line anymore. We have different principles in life. You know, I come from a broken home.

My father left me and my mother to be with another woman. I never knew what it was like to enjoy a full family life. And Shiena taught me about it.

Yet...

Lately our household seems too demanding to always be perfect. We displayed a harmony in front of everyone even if it was a falsehood.

We did agree to postpone the baby because Shiena asked. He is pursuing a brilliant career. Maybe that's what made me feel like I couldn't pretend to be happy anymore.

We were both wrong. I was wrong, and maybe Shiena was wrong too. So, we better split up for each other's good.

In the morning I woke up. Last night, Shiena slept in the guest room. I heard her sobs there. But this morning, the house is too quiet.

The house I bought from my own sweat because I wanted to make Shiena happy. I stared at the door of the guest room that was still closed. Could it be that Shiena is still sleeping?

"She!" I called Shiena while knocking on the door.

"Shyen!"

I turned the door and the door opened. Shiena did not lock it.

"Shyen!" Call me again.

Blank. There was no one in the room.

Suddenly I remembered about Shiena's stuff. I opened the closet.

Blank. There's no Shiena's clothes in there.

"No! This is impossible!"

I shook my head strongly. All Shiena's stuff went missing somewhere. Could it be that Shiena has already left the house?

I messed up my hair violently. "She, why did you leave without saying goodbye to me?"

Suddenly my phone rings. My father-in-law's name is on there.

Good Lord! Could Shiena have returned to her parents' house?

"Hello, Dad."

"Come home if you have time."

Father-in-law's voice sounded firm and straightforward. And no stale bases at all.

I have to face this. I do it, I am responsible too.

I decided to leave late for the office. I need to see Shiena at my in-laws' house. I need to talk to them like I told Shiena last night.

Arriving there, I was greeted with the horror gaze of Shiena's father. I was still polite and greeted my father-in-law with reverence.

"Sit down!" The father-in-law's orders sound like a boss.

"Father, I don't think you need to be stale anymore. Is it true that you will divorce Shiena, my daughter?"

I swallowed spit. It's hard to talk right now.

"Answer, Willy!" Father-in-law's voice boomed to make the mother-in-law come and join.

"Dad, relax! Patience Well!" Mother-in-law rubbed her husband's arm.

"How can you be patient, Bun. This man came well into our house and asked our daughter to make her a wife. But why would he want to divorce her and make our daughter go home to her parents' house and not drive her at all?"

I would love to answer. Not that I let Shiena, but Shiena herself left me.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mother. Then, where is Shiena now? Can I meet him? We have to talk about both."

Father-in-law kicked the table. "Shiena is back as our daughter, so you are no longer entitled to Shiena. Understood?!"

I have not focused on working all day. I kept thinking with Shiena. Many times I called her phone number was not answered. Even Shiena has blocked my number.

"She, please answer dong! If you're like this, how can we solve our problems?" My mumbling was heard by Alex.

Alex and I have been friends since I was in high school. The same from the broken home family made us fill each other. The difference is, Alex became brilliant because he managed to become a model. As for me, I remain an ordinary man who survives by working part-time at Shiena's father's company.

That's where I got to know Shandy, Shiena's sister. I became Shandy's confidant because of my lack of workmanship. After graduating from college, I chose to work elsewhere because I was not happy with the Shandy family.

Plus by then Shandy had already given me the confidence to look after Shiena. Of course I am carrying out my responsibilities well.

If asked if I sincerely love Shiena or not...

Yes, I loved Shiena from the first time I saw her.

Beautiful girl with a spoiled and adorable voice, who does not like it. Even I was competing with Alex to get close to Shiena. And it turns out that Shandy prefers me over Alex. Therefore Alex relented and never had a chance to get close to Shiena.
