Divorce. Unwanted word by every husband and wife. That is what Ferdi felt. He felt as if his world had suddenly collapsed. The household that had been fine, suddenly the wife asked for a divorce. Ferdi's arrogance and trust in himself were too high to make him forget his obligation as a husband to his wife.
Just like what Tania felt. She had absolutely no idea that what she had been doing was one of the causes of her husband's discomfort. She was so confident that she felt that her husband would not be able to get away from her. And now she has to accept the fact that her husband loves another woman.
Hearing the word divorce coming out of his wife's mouth, Ferdi felt very emotional. He slammed the door of his house when he came out of his house. His lunch break became full without eating any food.
He returned to the office without filling his stomach. His anger was clearly on his face. It didn't go unnoticed by Lani. He knew very well that Ferdi was currently angry. She wanted to go near him and ask him. But he was soon undone because he knew that Ferdi would definitely spray him with words that would hurt his heart.
Ferdi's whole day was just a mess. And it's very disturbing to colleagues who are in the room with him.
“Pak, mendingan Mr. out first deh find fresh air so as not to mess around,” said Lani who was standing near the table Ferdi.
Ferdi who was in a sitting position and doing his work, immediately raised his head to look at Lani who was standing before him. Then he looked throughout the room, where all his comrades were looking towards him while nodding their heads at him.
“Huffttt...,” Ferdi sighed while thinking for a moment.
Then he tidied up his work and got up from his seat, walking away from the room. Now he is on the rooftop of his office building, where workers usually use to rest.
With a view of the vast expanse of the sky, he lamented his fate. What he was facing right now made him think of all his attitudes and deeds towards his wife.
I should be able to improve my attitude and still defend our household, Ferdi said in his heart.
After a while he was in that place, he came down to return to his room. Disappointment and heartache are still felt. He was a little calmer now and knew what he was going to do.
Suddenly Ferdi was shocked when he met someone he did not expect at all when he got out of the elevator he was riding.
“Loh, aren't you Velicia's friend?” asked Ferdi with a friendly smile.
“Iya true. Do you have time now? I want to talk to you about something,” replied Tania by showing her flat face expressionlessly to Ferdi.
Ferdi felt strange with the woman before him at this moment. It's just that he can't refuse Tania's request because he's a friend of his wife's. And also the other reason was because she wanted to know what Tania would talk to her about.
Ferdi thought for a moment. After a few seconds later, he nodded his head to agree to Tania's request.
“Please follow me,” said Ferdi while pointing his hand somewhere.
With the help of a bandaged leg and a support stick in her hand, Tania walked up to Ferdi behind her. It turns out Ferdi took Tania into the elevator to get to the rooftop.
“Please,” said Ferdi while pointing at the seat there.
Tania sat down and looked at Ferdi who had just commented a smile on her. Then he said,
Just look at Ferdi's smile fading. He paused for a moment and directed his gaze in another direction while saying,
“Everything is over.”
Tania smiled cynically at the reply from Ferdi who seemed to be covering up his wife's actions. For a moment he looked at Ferdi who looked uncomfortable with the question he was asking. Then he said,
“Do you know who is the man who is the affair of your wife?”
At once Ferdi was shocked and his facial expression said that he did not know who the man who had cheated on his wife was.
Tania smiled sinisterly looking at the change in expression from Ferdi at this moment. He looked at Ferdi as if giving a warning with his flat face and cold aura. Then he said,
“I think he hasn't told you.”
Ferdi tightened the grip of both hands that were gripping the park bench. In front of her now, Tania with her facial expression said everything. Without him telling her who the man is, Ferdi finds out who the man Tania is referring to is.
“She cheated with-“
“No. It's all over. I don't want to know anymore,” said Ferdi interrupted Tania's remark.
It was clearly Ferdi who was very scared and anxious. He did not look towards Tania while speaking. Even his hands were now interlocked and moving anxiously, looking like they were uncomfortable and like they were being threatened.
Tania was shocked to hear Ferdi's words. His flat face instantly changed revealing his shocked face as he said,
“It's over?”
Ferdi nodded even though he was looking downwards. He did not look at Tania at all when talking to her. Only occasionally if she was shocked by Tania's words, she subconsciously looked towards him. And then he would turn his eyes the other way.
“Good. I won't speak anymore because you've said that their relationship is over. But make sure Velicia will not exceed her limit. Tell her, don't think about the man anymore and don't see the man again,” Tania said by showing back her cold aura and flat face and raising her chin to maintain her pride.
Then he got up from his seat and took his crutches. He paused for a moment to strengthen his heart and body that was already burning with emotion. After that he left the place with Ferdi who was still sitting on the bench.
Ferdi recalls the times he and his wife met Tania and her husband. He recalled Raymond's unusual look at Velicia. While Velicia looked misbehaved and uncomfortable at that moment. Then he recalled where Velicia was bidding to the toilet and Raymond who was also bidding to receive the call.
After that he recalled the times when his wife had been coming home late at night and was very happy when she called at night when she was sleeping.
All of that brings Ferdi's emotions back. She pulled her hair in frustration. His head came back to boil thinking about what would happen later. He did not want to lose his wife who he loved so much.
He realized that all this time he was negligent in maintaining good relations with his wife and now he blames himself. In his anxiety and emotions he thought. And finally he decided something.
