End of the Affair Reunion
Chapter 74 The hammer of divorce

"Certify me!"

These words from Diana were still ringing in my ears until I finally decided to divorce her.

I took a week off from my job to take care of my divorce. And earlier, I asked my parents for advice. They agreed, it was hard to decide to divorce, but they saw my body that was always the target of anger from Diana, finally they agreed to it even though they had previously scolded me all-out because of my mistakes.

Diana asked for a divorce on the condition that all her debts I paid and our two children went with her. As well as for the house we live in, he asked to be sold so that the money from the sale was divided in two with me.

I admit I was fed up with everything, until I agreed to the terms except for our two children.

Dave and Laura, as much as I can work on it so that the two of them can come with me.

Every trial I try to come even though the distance I traveled is arguably not close. But that distance did not dampen my intention to fight for my son.

Today is the day of the determination of our divorce trial. I just hope that this will be over quickly and I can be free from household problems that have been frustrating me.

Before I entered the courtroom, it turned out that Diana was already waiting for me in front of the courtroom. It seems like he wants to tell me something.

"Alex wait, I want to talk to you for a while," Diana said as she strode away toward the quiet spot.

I don't think it's a request, it's an order. Can't she ask me nicely and wait for my answer for the last time we're in husband and wife status?

Ah... what do I want from a haughty woman like her?

I followed her steps towards the deserted passageway and I stopped my steps right in front of her.

"What's wrong?" ask her.

"Let Dave and Laura be with me. They were with me all this time and never with you. All about them and their habits only I know. Plus they are very small so they really need my upbringing, their birth mother," he said with a very high sense of confidence.

"Do I not deserve them?" my question is stupid in my opinion.

"You may visit them or contact them, provided that you are never late in giving them rights every month. So let Dave and Laura be with me so that this divorce process goes quickly. I'm sure you're tired of taking care of it, aren't you? So, we speed this up by agreeing with my wishes," Diana said all of that without any burden and sadness for our divorce.

After saying that, Diana immediately left me who still did not expect what she said to me earlier.

He told me to agree to all his wishes and remind me not to forget to give Dave and Laura the rights every month.

It just crossed my mind, though,

Is that why he kept Dave and Laura with him? Just for the sake of transferring money every month to Dave and Laura with a fantastic amount?

My lawyer and my parents did not approve of the fantastic amount Diana put forward as money for Dave and Laura each month.

And I finally agreed to her request on the condition that I could always meet and contact Dave and Laura at any time.

Our divorce trial is over. All of Diana's requests I've agreed to. All my debts are my responsibility. The house we were living in had to be sold and split in half for us. And Dave and Laura are in his care with their rights that I have to give every month, which is a lot of money in my opinion, both my parents and my lawyer.

Everyone knows how I feel right now. Be happy? Who would be happy if they were divorced? Parting with my family is the thing I fear the most. Just imagine that I wouldn't be able to.

Split from Dave and Laura? Ah. I feel unable. Let's just hope Diana really does according to our agreement.

Saddened? I was indeed sad to part with Dave and Laura, but there was a sense of relief in my heart given that all of Diana's changed attitude was so nauseating.

"Alex, Papa hope you can take care of yourself now. And I hope you won't be trapped by a woman like that anymore" My father always lectured me, but his advice now means a lot to me.

"Alex, Mama always prays that you get a woman who is really your soul mate. Good woman and love you and your children. And one more thing, she should be able to accept Dave and Laura like her own children. Your prayer is always with you. Please don't disappoint us again," this strand of my mother's words was so melodious in my ear, in contrast to her old nagging.

It felt like my heart was very excited to hear the advice of both my parents. That much is his affection and worry for me even though I am an adult.

It's time for me to get back to work. Everything feels different now. There seems to be something missing in my life, but there is a sense of relief that can make me more alive.

Instantly I thought of Dave's face and his cheerfulness while playing with me. I called Diana to talk to Dave. Unfortunately, of all my many calls, none were raised.

My feelings are getting bad. Did something happen to them? Or maybe he was avoiding me? Ah it's impossible, he promised me to let Dave and Laura meet me.

I let go of that feeling so that I don't have any more bad thoughts about my ex-wife. And yes, ok tomorrow I'll call her again. I hope my bad feeling about my ex-wife is wrong.

Later that night I was invited by Dani, Rian, Levi and Sari to join them to enjoy dinner at a restaurant that had just opened.

When I was busy dealing with my divorce, I had nothing to do with Celine. Even I forgot that before Celine was always followed by Gio, her ex-husband.

Will I be able to meet him tonight?

"Al are you here too?"

This is the voice I have always missed. And he's here now. But what's wrong with my heart? Why is it beating so fast? Is it because there's Celine? It's not usually this fast to meet him either. Or maybe....

"You got an Al problem?"

This question Celine might have been the one before that made my heart beat faster. Maybe it's a sign that I'm gonna get this question from Celine.

"Well we go inside. I had ordered food for all of us before you came," Sari's arrival to invite us in this temporarily saved me from the question posed by Celine.
