First Wife's Last Tears
Evades
Lisna called Mirna. She said she had decided to leave her husband and family.
Mirna waited for Lisna in front of the gate of her house. When she saw Lisna's motor approaching, Mirna was already crying first. I don't know why she felt sad for Lisna.
"Sina."
Mirna's hand opened wide to hug Lisna who just got off her bike.
"Sir, I asked for a divorce from Mas Fauzi. He accused me of cheating, he also hit me without giving me a chance to explain." Adu Lisna while crying in Mirna's arms.
"Honey, take Lisna in first. Don't talk outside."
That's Mirna's husband, Reza.
"Yes, um." Mirna Sahut.
"Lis, come on in. Tell me everything inside."
Lisna said she wiped her tears and went in with Mirna.
Reza and Mirna welcome Mirna. They also listened to all of Lisna's stories about her husband and her mother-in-law during the seven years of marriage. Coupled with the presence of Wulan that makes Lisna completely ignored by her husband and family.
Reza as a lawyer tries to calm Lisna and offers help only for Lisna to take care of her divorce lawsuit against Fauzi. But before Lisna answered, the message notification went into her phone.
The Fauzi:
#I'm sorry Lisna. If you want a divorce, then I divorce you from now on. Don't worry, I'll take care of all our divorce expenses myself. Thank you for accompanying me for the past seven years. You remain the best wife for me.
WA Message from Fauzi. Lisna's tears fell again while reading the contents of the statement message that she had truly been divorced.
"Sir, what should I do now?"
Mirna hugged Lisna again. She tried to let Lisna cry as much as she could in her arms.
"That's Lisna. Don't be so drawn out crying over useless men like Fauzi. You can get a much better man than Fauzi. Believe, Lisna. God gives you this test because only you can pass it. So, believe me there's still a lot of good stuff out there waiting for you." Reza's advice to his wife's best friend.
"Thank you Reza."
Lisna tried to stop crying even though it was hard. Her heart was deeply wounded by the fact that she was now a widow who was divorced because she had no children.
When Lisna was still crying sobbing in Mirna's arms. His phone is ringing. Incoming call from her husband Fauzi.
"Lisna, Fauzi called you." Said Reza who saw the screen of Lisna's phone.
"Should I answer, ma'am?" Lisna asked unsure.
"Jawab only. Listen to what he wants to say." Sahut Reza suggested.
Lisna answered the call by activating the loadspeaker mode.
"Lisna, where are you?" There was a hoarse voice of Fauzi.
"What else, my mom? Didn't you divorce me.."
"I know I've dropped one talaq on you. But, can't you give me one more chance to be your husband Lisna?" Fauzi begged to be given another chance by Lisna.
"Sorry, mom. It's all over. I will not look back. Now it's time to look ahead. May you be happy with Wulan. Don't call me again, mas."
Lisna closed the call. Though in his room Fauzi still called out Lisna's name. He still wants to talk to Lisna. Unfortunately, Lisna already did not want to just hear his voice was lazy.

Mirna treated Lisna's nose wound and also put a compress on Lisna's cheek and corner of her eye that was bruised by a jerk like Fauzi.
"Lis, stay here for a while. Reza allowed it, really." Persuade Mirna.
"No mbak. I gotta go. I need time to myself, I want to calm myself for a moment from the hustle and bustle of the world. I'll also resign from the job."
"Are you sure, Lisna?"
"I'm sure mbak."
Mirna took a breath. Agree disagree he should keep the strong woman's support.
"God willing, ma'am."
After the conversation, Mirna and Reza escorted Lisna to the front of the house. They even waited until Lisna completely disappeared from their sight.
"Did Lisna tell you where to stay?" Ask Reza.
"Not at all, ma'am."
"What he wants to do."
"Hopefully Lisna's fine."
"I hope he'll always be okay."
Reza also embraces his wife to return to their home when their eyes can no longer see Lisna who has gone riding his metallic motorcycle.
The goal turns out to be doctor Yumna's place. Lisna met the motherly good woman who made her feel comfortable telling all her complaints.
Lisna was welcomed by Yumna.
"Welcome back, son Lisna." Yumna hugged Lisna.
"Thank you for remembering me, Mother."
"Of course baby. I never forget the people who came to share their stories with me."
Yumna invited Lisna to sit on the same sofa when Lisna came here yesterday.
"What's this time?"
Yumna said that while taking her assistant to bring a drink to her room.
"I'm divorced from my husband."
"Oh really? This fast?"
Lisna nodded.
"He hit you, son?" Yumna asked her heart afraid of mistaking, but she was sure of the bruises on Lisna's face as a result of being hit by her husband's hand.
Lisna nodded confirming what Yumna had asked just now.
"God. It must be painful, here." Yumna pointed to the direction where Lisna's heart was.
"It hurts a lot, ma'am." Lisna replied with a bitter smile. She could no longer cry, because the tears were already dry, perhaps.
"You're great, Lisna. You're strong, son. You dare leave a husband who dares to flirt.."
"He thinks I'm cheating, mom. His second wife told my husband that I was cheating and he believed her."
"Second wife?"
Yumna doesn't know that Lisna is polygamous yet. Because Lisna's story back then hasn't come to this part.
"I'm in polygamy because I can't get pregnant after seven years of marriage, ma'am. My mother-in-law forced my husband to marry again. It turned out that the woman my husband married was his ex-girlfriend whom he could not forget even during the marriage with me."
Lisna told a long story with a calm nature, as if she was sincere with the destiny she had to live.
Yumna. Hugged Lisna with a warm hug.
"You're great, son. You've done the best. You managed to leave that toxic person behind. You're great." Praise Yumna.
Lisna the only patient who came to her told her about her household without crying roared. Lisna also did not corner her husband and her mother-in-law more than just telling her they were doing bad things to her.
There is no drama Lisna told. He only told a story once passing, conveying facts that made him have to leave people who did not consider his presence all along.
"May I work here, ma'am?" Ask Lisna then.
Yumna looked puzzled at Lisna's question.
"I'm not demanding a salary, ma'am. Just let me sleep here. Then I'll do whatever you ask. I have nowhere to go back." Lisna.
"alright. You're the foster mother being the mother's assistant."
Yumna extended her hand to Lisna to make a deal that they had mutually agreed to the terms that Lisna had proposed just now.
