HIDDEN WIFE
Divorcement

I don't feel like time is rolling fast. After undergoing several trials, the court finally granted Dirga's divorce lawsuit to Alika. Legally and religiously Dirga and Alika are no longer married couples. 

Yes, Divorce is not the best way, but divorce is the last choice for married couples when there is no other way out. Lying if Dirga does not feel sad. Not because of the separation with Alika, but the pain inscribed from the lies of his ex-wife during their two-year marriage. 

“There is nothing beautiful about divorce. But at least this way you and Alika don't have to hurt each other anymore. After all, Alika married you not to build a household, but to reap wealth for the sake of other men,” said Mama Diana who today accompanied her son to a trial in court. 

Dirga is still silent. The pieces of regret felt stifling his chest. If time can be repeated, it would be like to go back to the past where he has not met and is tied to any relationship with Alika.

“Loss Alika's shadow in your life. Now all you have to think about is Lula and Zav. Because they are your future. After all, you've sacrificed too much all this time. It is time for you to be happy with the person who truly loves you.” Mama Diana's words about love distract Dirga.

“Indeed Lula loves me, Mah?” his tan was lethargic while leaning on his back with a hint of frustration. Then start the car engine and leave the religious courthouse. 

 “How about yourself? Do you love Lula?” Instead of answering, Mama Diana asked back.

Dirga answered by shrugging his shoulders. Indeed, until this moment he did not understand what feelings he had for Lula. For sure he feels comfortable and hopes to live a happy household ark with the mother of his child. 

“If love hasn't, Mah. But ..”  

"But what? Don't wear buts anymore" said Mama Diana cut off her son's conversation. "At least Lula knows how to put herself as a wife and she values you. That's enough."

“Iya, Mah. Lula is indeed a very good woman.” 

"That's why you're lucky to have him in your life. Not many women like Lula are as willing to accept and forgive mistakes as you did to her a few months ago."

Dirga nodded in agreement with the words of the mother. She was still locked in guilt for allowing Lula to go through her pregnancy alone.

After proposing to Lula, the man decided to stay in the apartment to avoid any slanted news that might be circulating about their relationship. Baby Zav and Lula stay with Mama Diana. 

“Uuh ... here's dad's son! Same with dad, son?” Dirga holds Baby Zav who is lying in a baby box. "Sus, where's the bundle?" ask her to Sister Vira.

"Mother's up there, sir!" answer the woman.

"Oh ..." While kissing and playing his nose on the tiny baby's big cheeks, then taking him out to a small garden near the pool. 

Dirga spent a long time with Zav. Sometimes I hear laughter from there.

“How, Mas?” Lula came and sat down on a chair next to her husband. 

“Currently. It's all done" he answered. "What are you finished above? How long anyway?” 

"Washing out in your room. You see your room is a mess and a lot of unused stuff." While stretching his muscles that feel stiff after a tiring activity. He was tidying up Dirga's room which will be occupied by them after marriage. "In addition I have to throw out some collections from your jahiliyah era."

And, Lula's casual speech created a frown in the corner of her husband's eyes.

"You're doing everything yourself?"

"Yes ... Why is it, Mas?" ask Lula. This time with an intimidating look.

Lothawat! Lula may have seen my disgrace in her youth. In the room there are many photos of the former during college and evidence of the ruffiness in the past.
