Ex-Husband Love
26. Decisions.

The wind blows slowly crashing Deswita's body which is now sitting in the backyard of her parents' house. A white dress with many floral motifs jasmine across the surface of the fabric, appearing to be waving occasionally in the wind.

Not far from Wita, Andika sat with a straight forward view. The expanse of fields that spread wide, interspersed by coconut trees and some banana trees become complementary. Asri, that one word that was in Andika's mind.

Andika's memory is focused on the moments where she and Wita have just knit love. In just two months of being in love with Wita, Andika decided to ask Wita at that time.

"Wita, remember? Next to the cottage near the banana tree, my leg was sprained and you panicked following the Father," said Andika pointed to a cottage not so far from the backyard of Ruslan's house.

"Yes. But that's just the past" Wita replied flatly.

Highlight the eyes of the Ruslan princess seemed nostalgic, but reluctant to admit in front of Andika.

"Past time? Does that mean nothing to you?" ask Andika.

"That means to me only Kelan, mas. The rest, yes it is normal," replied Wita while smiling obliquely.

"Oh come on, Wita. I've apologized to you, Amira's confession has been strong evidence that I'm not entirely guilty. In any case, I did not want that night," replied Andika lirih.

"Although you do not want, but you still disappoint me, mas," said Wita later.

"I know," Andika timpal.

Silence enveloped both. Wita smiled wryly, realizing she had managed to play with her ex-husband's emotions.

"When are you back in the capital?" asked Wita without looking at Andika. The woman's gaze was straight forward, letting Andika think of her driving Andika away at this time.

"You're upset with me?" ask Andika astonishment.

"Well, what else, Mom? You are not my husband. No way, right, that you're going to stay here?" Wita asked back.

"At least, if you still want to play around here, you have to rent lodging. We can't stay on one roof."

Andika silence. What Wita said has a point. There is no way Andika will remain here, while she is officially separated from Wita.

Many people say, that we will truly feel the loss after what we previously held, has been removed from the grasp. Andika should have realized that. Ever since the hammering of the court at that time, there was such a wide distance that it separated itself from the mother of her children.

"You're right. Maybe this afternoon I will take Rudi home," Andika later broke up.

Wita just nodded. The woman sat quietly, not caring about the restlessness and movements of Andika.

"Wita, I apologized to you earlier," said Andika.

"I have also shown evidence that I was framed by Amira, Wita. And I .. . revealed to Father that I want us to refer. Father said that the decision is in your hands of course," continued Andika.

Deswita rounded her eyes, inexhaustible with the actions of Andika who was considered too hasty.

"Hey, just a few days ago Father and Mother heard the news of our divorce, now you have tried to seduce father to be able to refer me? You sick?" ask Wita with an emphasis.

"No. I am spiritually healthy, Wita. I seriously said it. I want us to go back. I seriously love you. For God's sake, you and Kelan are everything to me. Even I was willing to exchange you and Kelan, with all the treasures I have," said Andika seriously. His net was fixed on the figure of Wita who was beside him.

"Keep, you fall poor and want to start a career from scratch again like first? Notwithstanding. I do not want to live poor anymore as you started your business. After you have enjoyed heaven with another woman, you want to go back to me in a state of losing everything. Oh wow!" exclaimed Wita, with his acting is amazingly good.

To be honest, Wita's heart cheered happily when she heard Andika was willing to lose everything for her and Kelan. Only, he pretended to sulk at the man.

"Wita, listen to me first," said Andika, massaging her pain-throbbing temple.

Since Andika acted and made Wita hurt, Wita changed a lot. In the past, Wita was so obedient and very respectful of her and her decisions. But this time another. Wita who was now much more courageous against Andika.

"What's? What are you talking about?" tanya Wita pretended to be angry with her ex-husband.

"Here, this is just a wish, okay?" Andika began to get frustrated facing this woman in front of her.

"If? So, you're not serious about referring to me? So, you're just kidding?" tanya Wita looked intently at Andika. The woman's eyebrows were already clinging to each other due to an angry expression.

Andika's face looked tense, confused about how to explain to Wita. At least he mispronounced, then the consequences could be his neck that became a victim of Wita.

"Why not answer? So, really if you're just messing with me? So, seriously you want to mess with me?" ask Wita. His face looked disappointed. Though to be honest, he had almost blown out a laugh seeing Andika's unusually tense expression mixed in frustration.

"It's not. It's only if I have to lose everything for you and Kelan. Not that I want to be poor after we get back together. Trust me, for your sake and Kelan, the saga will be hard work slamming bones sweat all for your sake. For God's sake, I love you. I desperately searched for evidence of Amira's cheating in order to make you able to accept me back, just because my love was too big for you, Wita. Believe me, I will do anything to make our marriage back intact, Wita. Please believe it this time," Andika said at length to Wita.

Deep down, Andika, the man was depressed. He just did not know, that Wita just pretended not to accept it, in order to teach Andika a lesson.

Wita stared long at Andika's face full of despair. Wita will not be that easy to accept Andika back, after Andika hurt her heart. Wita wants Andika to learn many things, that not all mistakes can be forgiven easily.

"Maybe, I'll take you back, mas. I'm sorry, but I can't just accept you. If you seriously want us to refer back, I'll ask you for a year to prove your seriousness! So, be patient waiting for that moment to come!"

Wita's decision can't be denied just like that this time. Wita who used to be very obedient and calm, this time seemed more courageous and not easily suppressed. Unfortunately, the figure of Wita is what makes Andika almost crazy because of losing Wita.
