Istikharah
A Gift for Calina

Leon looked at Calina with a flat face. Now he knew what his wife had been hiding. Without saying much, Leon thrust out a purple gift box for Calina.

"What's this?" ask Calina happily. It's not his birthday, but Leon gave him a gift. It's so sweet of Leon.

"Open!" leon's orders are still with his flat look.

According to Calina, she opened the box. But when the box opened, how shocked Calina was. Inside the box are several photos of Calina and a man. Also a DNA test result Arjuna and Leon.

Calina immediately sat down limp on the floor. The entire joint was like it could no longer function. He shed his tears. He was sad, and felt guilty for Leon.

"Actually who's Juna's son?" leon asked still with his flat expression. This is how Leon gets angry, not physically or verbally hurting Calina.

"Frans," Calina replied quietly. "Frans is a bastard. As soon as she found out I was pregnant, she immediately left me. And now that he knew Juna had been born, he came back and was about to seize Juna." Calina spoke slowly, like a whispering person. But it's still pretty clear in Leon's ears.

"Who's Frans? Your ex-boyfriend?" ask Leon.

"Yes," Calina replied as she stared at the cold tile. He did not dare look at Leon.

Leon sat on the edge of the bed, while Calina was still sitting on the floor. "Two days ago, when I just got to the dentist's office, I accidentally saw you and a man. The man forcibly pulled your hand" Leon said, recalling the incident two days ago. The events that brought his life down.

*Flashback Leon

"Detach, Frans! I've said it many times! Juna is not your son! He's my son and Leon!" peekkik Calina was upset. He kept trying to get his hands off Frans the bastard.

"Lon's son, huh? What if Leon knows the results of this DNA test?" Frans waved a paper in front of Calina. Frans himself gets Juna's hair while Calina is at a clinic to immunize Juna. At that time a friend told him to sit right next to Calina and pull out a few strands of Arjuna's hair. Unconscious Calina thinks Arjuna is crying because of hunger or something else, even though the baby's hair is pulled out by a man.

"I'm not afraid of you, Frans!" Calina then left just like that after escaping Frans. He got in his car and left. His initial intention was to check his dental health, but his mood was gone. Now he just wants to go home.

Leon himself could only watch the scene from the car, not forgetting he took some pictures of Calina and Frans. Everything the two said was clear to Leon's ears. To make him can only be silent long enough because of shock.

"It turns out that Calina has always been like a frightened and angry person who causes this man." Leon monologued while looking at Frans who climbed on his big motorbike and rushed to go out of nowhere.

"It's stupid that I didn't realize this in the first place." Leon is still a monologue. Until a few minutes he just sat in the car, after which he went out to enter the clinic. Performing routine dental examinations he did for six months.

*Flashback Done

"Sorry, Leon. I had to do this. I don't want Juna to be born without a father. I'm sorry I used you." Calina with her guilt did not dare to look at Leon.

"So if I don't know this secret for myself, when will you hide it?" Leon looked at Calina who was sitting on the floor and looked down.

Calina was silent because the bus did not answer at all. He will keep it a secret for the rest of his life. But how could he talk to Leon like that.

"When we got married, were you pregnant?" ask Leon.

"Yes." Yeah."

"What age?"

"I want to be alone first, Calina. I wanna go. Jagan's looking for me soon." Leon rushed away.

Meanwhile Calina could only stare at Leon's departure with her guilt.

***

At midnight blind, Leon sat there pensively at his desk. He just wants to calm down. And his office is the most appropriate place. Because it's midnight blind like this there's no one at all.

Leon himself could not be angry at Calina. Because he is also self-conscious. How evil he was to his wives. You could say that this is karma for you.

For Leon if Calina had repented and was about to start a new life, he would have forgiven Calina. Man never escapes sin, does he? It's just that in a few days Leon needs time to be alone. After he calmed down, then he wanted to see Calina again.

Leon himself is already affectionate with Arjuna. And until now still dear, even though he knew it was not his son.

"Why is life so complicated?" lirih Leon's. He dropped his back onto the back of the chair while kneading his throbbing temple.

"Leon knows everything." Calina gave a piece of paper to Via.

Via directly took the paper and looked at the contents. "Dna test? Leon and Juna?" ask Via not to believe. He looked at Calina curiously. How not to be curious, the article all this time Calina always kept this from Leon. How did Leon know this?

"Yes" replied Calina weakly. He guiltily stared blankly at the wall.

"How did Leon know? Frans told her?" ask Via. He looked at Calina concerned. Unfortunately, the fate of this friend's romance.

Calina shakes. "Leon knows for himself. At the dentist's office, I was having a fuss with Frans. And without me noticing, there's Leon too. He even took some pictures of us." Calina put the photo that Leon gave onto the carpet.

Via took the photo. And looked at him concerned. It's so sorry, Calina.

"But I was surprised, Leon wasn't angry at all. He just had a flat expression." Calina spoke while recalling Leon's expression last night.

"Maybe the way he got angry like that. Not arrogant!" sahut Via looking at a photo of Calina and Frans.

Calina nodded in agreement. "Now what should I do? I don't love Leon. Even if I stick with him, it'll never make me happy."

Via patted Calina's shoulder slowly. "You think about it carefully. Don't be hasty."

"I've got a decision."

"What?"

"I want a divorce. Divorce is better. I don't love Leon. All this time I just pretended to be happy next to him. But actually not. I've never been happy at all."

"Whatever your decision is. I'm sure that's best for you" Via said.
