Give me back my husband's smile
CHAPTER 109: The Trial of Divorce
The star came down from the taxi, he rushed into his house even so upset he just walked without greeting Clara who was sitting relaxing in the guest room. The middle-aged woman could only stare at the nanar of her daughter-in-law who was stepping her feet towards the room. Not long after his son came, the young man seemed to be hastily following his wife who was currently in the room. Are they fighting? Ask Clara from her heart.
Alvaro closed the door of the room loudly making Clara squeak in shock, the middle-aged woman rubbing her chest. If they really had a fight, Clara would not have interfered. Clara wants Alvaro to solve her domestic problems with a cool head.
In the room Alvaro walked up to his wife who was currently sitting crying on the edge of the bed. "Bi forgive me." He looked at his wife's face, reddened by crying. The star was still silent, he was reluctant to speak. His chest rumbled withstanding the searing outburst of emotion in his heart.
Alvaro touched his wife's shoulder. "Bi I just accidentally met the Moon." Alvaro tries to explain to temper his wife's anger.
The moon turned hard on her husband's hand, the woman stood looking at Alvaro with a fierce look. "First brother tricked me into saying you were out of town for a week, and now you want to lie to me again. I'm not that easy to trust you, brother." The star with tears that wet his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a crush on you. I did have a scheduled visit to Bali, but I decided to cancel it because the property business that I run in Jakarta is experiencing problems. You know Bi, as a result of rumors circulating, put some of my business in danger of bankruptcy. People seem reluctant to buy property from Mahendra Groub, even hotels and restourants under the auspices of my company deserted visitors affected by the bad gossip of our household." Alvaro defended himself so that Bintang understood and understood his current situation.
"I was really very frustrated, so I decided to calm down in my apartment. I don't want you to see me in such a mess, you're sure to be sad. That's why I don't dare go home."
The star stared at her husband, from the look of his eyes Alvaro seemed to be telling the truth. As a result of the rumors that circulated did have a big impact on life in his extended family, and Bintang did not expect that the gossip also affected his husband's business. Alvaro has been working hard so that the company founded by his father will survive, mahendra Groub had been bankrupt until Alvaro was forced to marry his brother for the support of funds he could get from Bramasta Groub. It is only fitting that now Alvaro is frustrated to think of his company which is now on the verge of collapse because of the Moon.
"Bi, I just accidentally met the Moon on the street. Moon asked me to talk, just a casual chat before our divorce trial took place." Alvaro told a lie that made the Star frown because it was curious about what they had been talking about. "The Moon wants to come back to me, but you know for yourself that I love you. So I chose to continue our divorce trial."
The star looked up, she felt a little guilty for accusing her husband earlier. Star is the type of woman who is easily carried away, she is easily jealous if Alvaro along with other women. Now that Star's heart was softened, she wiped the tears that were soaking her cheeks.
The star held her husband's hand. "Sister, I love you so much. I'm angry because I'm jealous, I'm afraid that Brother Moon will take you away from me." The stars are sluggish. "I'm sorry, brother, because I've scolded you."
Alvaro sighed, he was a little relieved that the Star had now been blown away by the cliche reason he spoke. "Yes, it's okay." Reply Alvaro while smiling.
"Hm, brother when is your divorce hearing with Kak Bulan done?" Ask the Stars, he just wanted to make sure.
"Tomorrow."
"I'll accompany you to the court, brother." The Star Breaking was reciprocated with a nod by Alvaro. There's no harm in him taking the stars there anyway. Hopefully today she gets some good news from the Moon, that the woman will cancel her divorce hearing. If the Moon had a sane mind it was clear the woman would obey her orders.
"Sister, I'm sorry that I've been angry with you. I'm so jealous I can't control my emotions." Cicit Star bowed listlessly.
Alvaro stroked the Star cheek fondly. "Yes Bi, believe me you're the only woman I love." Alvaro bragged, in fact he had split his heart with another woman. Alvaro loves the Stars and the Moon, admitting he is selfish for wanting to have them both by his side.
...****************...
08.20 WIB at Central Jakarta Religious Court
The day of the trial becomes the end of Alvaro and Moon's marriage. This room seemed to feel very crowded to make Alvaro difficult to breathe. He married Moon for coercion from his Papa, whose goal was to save Mahendra Groub's company from bankruptcy.
Despite being married to the Moon she remains in contact with the Stars because the Stars are the women she cares about. After getting the Star he was planning to divorce the Moon, but now his feelings have changed. Alvaro still wants to maintain his relationship as he begins to love the Moon.
The young man could only be bowed languidly waiting for the arrival of the Moon, since yesterday Alvaro could not even sleep at the thought of today's trial. He hoped the trial would go his way, Alvaro did not want to lose the Moon.
Where's the Moon, why hasn't the woman arrived? Batin Bintang was hoping to be anxious, afraid that this trial would be postponed because of her brother's inconsistent actions.
After quite a long wait, Alvaro saw from the entrance of the Moon walk stepped in the lead by Elfarez occupying the seat of the trial. Never imagined before, Moon will become a widow at a young age especially in her state of being pregnant. But what power? It was as if the world was against their relationship. The Moon was given the opportunity to love Alvaro without being able to have both his body and his heart. Now the woman decided to give up, living together with Alvaro made her mind tormented.
The moon momentarily turned its smile towards Alvaro who was sitting not so far away from him, making Alvaro stunned when their gazes met. He was unable to cry, showing how hurt the Moon was. At least let him smile despite his deep dismay covering the grief.
“So, sister Moon do you not want to reconsider your desire to divorce with brother Alvaro?” Ask the presiding judge while looking at the Moon.
“No Mr Judge, I still want a divorce.” Reply firmly Moon, visible from her beautiful face Moon felt no remorse at all. For him this decision was right, the Moon did not care about the sharp gaze of Alvaro who intimidated him. The young man was currently clenching his hands tightly, should Moon have said that he was reluctant to divorce her but why did the woman not obey his orders.
Laura and Elfarez who sat in the back seat seemed calm to pay attention to the trial. Especially the Star, she enjoyed the trial very much today as she had long since looked forward to the separation between her husband and her brother.
The presiding judge read out his verdict, the household of the plaintiff and the defendant did not reach a point of peace. Their household is already untenable, especially with the evidence submitted by the plaintiff regarding the existence of KDRT and infidelity. All points submitted by the Moon are read out by a judge. Moon wanted to part ways peacefully, he also did not demand anything to Alvaro including the gono gini treasure. The hope is only one, Moon wants to give birth to her child calmly without any debate that can make her mind shaken, Moon wants to treat her baby without the intervention of Alvaro in her life.
"On all statements and statements from the relevant parties, the court decided to grant a divorce request between the Bramasta Light Moon and Alvaro Artha Mahendra. With the hammer of the judge signifies that you two are officially divorced."
Silent
The voice of the judge echoed, the only dominating voice in the stuffy room was so resolute and absolute that it was heard. And when the hammer is tapped—
Tok.shock.
Both are officially divorced. Alvaro rounded his eyes as if he did not accept this decision. In contrast to the Moon, he felt relieved but his chest felt tight because now the Moon will walk alone. Alvaro used to fill his happy days, however, although most of the young man bore a scar on his heart. Alvaro used to be the man he loved so much but now the Moon hates him so much. The woman bowed lethargicly, she did not dare to look her ex-husband in the sharp eyes. The moon chose to take her eyes off with a blank look like her now empty heart.
The star smiled, finally her husband officially separated from his first wife. This time he felt like he was a winner. Alvaro stood up, he was still stunned by the decision of the chief judge. Though Alvaro has tried to get the divorce annulled even he spent a lot of money to try to bribe them so that the court postpones this trial or mediate again so that Alvaro can refer back to the Moon. The young man clenched his hands in emotion, he stared fiercely at Elfarez who was emitting his happy face.
Alvaro was convinced all this was due to Elfarez's interference, his chest rumbling with anger. Amidst her mounting emotions a soft hand clasped her fingers. Alvaro turned his head, he stared fixedly at the Star that revealed a sweet smile. The woman took her hand to herd out of the stuffy court room. Alvaro tried to temper his anger in front of the Stars, he followed his wife's steps with a feeling of disintegration.
While the Moon was still sitting pensively in the chair, biting her dry lower lip staring at the marble floor that looked not so attractive. Slowly his clasped hands touched his chest, the Moon did not expect if he could finally be free from the bond of the wedding rope along with Alvaro. He reviewed a thin smile while gently rubbing his large stomach. I'm sorry, baby, you have to part with your dad. But mama promised even without your papa present at our side, mama will take care of you with all her heart. His words in the heart tell the child in the womb.
“Month.” Elfarez patted the shoulder of the Star making the woman instantly turn her head.
The moon looked at the young man who was now towering standing before him. “You daydreaming?” Elfarez grabbed Moon's chin trying to make her conscious, but all she got was Moon shedding her tears.
“Why are you crying the Moon? Are you sorry you divorced with Alvaro?” Elfarez asked while looking at the face of the Moon.
The moon wiped the tears that soaked her cheeks, she then smiled a smile before Farez. “This is a happy cry.” The muttering Moon told made the young man feel relieved.
Laura who participated in the trial, she began to move her legs closer to her daughter. The middle-aged woman was pleased with the court's verdict, in this way Moon had become a widow and there was no more hindrance for her to immediately marry off her daughter to Elfarez. “Honey congratulations yes, finally you divorced also with Alvaro.” Said the woman with excitement, she hugged her daughter because she could not stem the overflow of happiness. Laura cupped her daughter's cheeks to look at her.
“Honey, being a widow is not a bad status so you don't have to be sad. Mama is sure you can get a better man than Alvaro.” Laura deliberately glanced at the young man beside her, in order for Farez to realize that the young man's opportunity to get the Moon was wide open. The moon that heard her mother's speech just now felt a little uncomfortable.
“You are a very beautiful mother's daughter, many handsome and rich men want you. So you don't have to worry, baby.” Laura's chirps with emphasis on her every word so that Farez immediately acts to marry her daughter before being captured by another man. The moon sighed, she lowered her head a little awkwardly. His mother should not have to say that, let alone before Elfarez. Her mother was too over-the-top, after all Moon did not want to marry again.
"Let's go home, you must be tired. Rest at home." Laura's orders were answered by a nod by the Moon.
"I'll take you home." The Elfarez rose made Laura instantly smile. Clearly he gladly received a helping hand from Farez. As the moon rose, Laura escorted her daughter out of the courtroom to the parking lot.
The two eyes of the Moon rounded when he passed by Alvaro who was standing in front of his car along with the Star. Like an enemy they both have changed status to ex-husband and wife do not greet each other. The moon chose silence in silence ignoring Alvaro's sharp gaze which looked at him sharply as if he wanted to skin his body.
Elfarez immediately opened the door of his car, he invited Moon and Laura to enter the four-wheeled vehicle. He glanced at Alvaro with a cynical look, as if scorning the man. In the end it was Farez who would get the Moon and Alvaro would regret having wasted such a good woman as Moon who had now officially become his ex-wife.
Seriate...
