"I've been saying goodbye to mom and dad, even though we've officially divorced, they're still parents to me and Grandpa Bella." He sat facing Bram.
Bram was silent, staring at the divorce papers they had both signed in front of the judge who was now lying on the table.
Yes, on the day that Diah's third talaq was dropped by Bram, on the same day the final trial divorced them both in the title.
A few months ago, Diah came to the Religious office after the first talak, he brought the submission and discussed the divorce papers and ended the marriage relationship between the two. When the file is complete, mediation is carried out but both are not present, only represented by their lawyers.
Likewise, during the response hearing, where Bram as the defendant got the opportunity to defend himself from the intentions and goals that have been conveyed by Diah as the plaintiff. Bram was not there, only Diah attended.
Replicas and duplicates are not too complicated, Diahpun did not propose the division of gono gini property or the demand for livelihood fulfillment because that is the other stage tends to be smooth even though it is not attended directly by both parties, since the divorce was indeed desired to this day, the court decision on the title.
"The result of this court decision.received and granted the plaintiff's claim entirely and declared the marriage between the plaintiff and the defendant broke up due to divorce..."
That was the last sentence Diah heard, before the hammer of the divorce was struck by the judge.
With her, two clear circles fell on the corner of Diah's cheek, even though she was so intent on her divorce from Bram, the separation was still the most painful thing. No couple in this world gets married and expects her to get divorced later in life.
But if you can't force a relationship, then it's not wrong to have that freedom.
Adultery in the form of infidelity that occurs in a marital relationship is a difficult reason to tolerate, affairs cheating resulted in the end of their married life. Their household collapsed and shattered like shards of glasses in no time.
When Diah realized, she could no longer survive for the sake of the husband who betrayed her to be with others continuously, there were no more feelings left.
Maintaining such a bland and bad household, Diah decided to give up.
But a woman's heart was still broken when she sat in front of the judge and heard the decision was handed down.
After the divorce hearing, the two of them sat in the small cafeteria of the court office at Diah's request, a final request before they were no longer on one roof.
"You can also meet Bella, anytime. Though custody falls on me, you are Bella's father. It's just..." Diah placed her hands on the table, clinging to each other in such a way.
"Contact me first, so I can arrange your meeting." It sounded sad indeed, when Diah said it. After they both officially divorced, a child had to meet his parents with various rules and awkwardness.
But Diah, however, still wants Bella not to feel she lost her father figure, although all this time Bram is also rarely at home and met his father.
Bram was silent, sitting staring at Diah fixedly, as if they were both so foreign and distant.
Slowly, Diah took out a small box from his bag.
"There is nothing good about divorce, divorce is never a pleasant experience.We have indeed failed to become a couple, but I hope we learn to be different people once we separate. Everyone will learn more from failure than from success." He opened the little box.
Bram who from the beginning was silent without speaking was staring alternately at the ring in the box and at the face of Diah who was stuck across the table.
A glimpse of those old memories flashed, on their simple wedding day, after the qobul ijab he pinned the ring on Diah's ring finger with a heart that was without taste and full of compulsion while Diah's innocent face looked sparkling happily, like a girl being edited by a prince.
And today, as she gazed at the ring, all completely reversed and had considerably changed, Diah in a frozen face handed back the remaining memories that became the binding symbol of their marriage.
"You don't have to return the ring. It's yours..." Bram said with a heavy voice almost choked.
Bram's own wedding ring, he forgot where it was, or maybe he had thrown it away. He had completely forgotten, because he had always considered the item as insignificant as their marriage had no meaning for him. Sallypun does not like if he wears it while with his lover, so he let go carelessly, maybe even has eliminated it.
And today, the ring inside the box made his heart shake, there was a pain that infiltrated, like someone who was hanging on a strand of hair, the fear of actually parting it just felt thick.
"How can I keep it? It no longer means anything to me. You used to give it to me as a sign that I was all yours, but we are no longer anyone. I'm a free man so I don't want to keep it anymore." Diah said with a clear voice.
"You can throw it away if you don't want it." Somehow Bram said it with raucous and heavy.
"You gave it to me as a dowry by the intercession of sacred words, how could I throw it away. I just want to give it back to you, as well as a reminder, there's nothing else that binds us even if it's just a symbol in the form of an object." Diah closed the box and dragged it to the front of Bram who was sitting there barely blinking it.
"I'm going to get out of our house today, all my things have been packed and I'm sending them to my new home. So, after coming home from here, you don't worry about seeing me again in that house." She smiled for the first time, and the smile looked so bland.
"Where will you live? you.you can stay there, that's your house and Bella." Bram said it in a stammer, he had decided that after they officially divorced then he was the one who actually left the house.
After all, she still had a conscience, at least Bella was the binders to their relationship that could not be thrown away. Bella is her own flesh and blood, and if she can't take responsibility, at least she's bequeathed something to her son.
Diah's eyes didn't blink looking at Bram.
"I don't want that house..."
(Finally, a divorce is inevitable. Although not because you want to but sometimes because you have to, because it is useless to maintain marriage if you hurt each other or one is hurt😔 The fact of marriage is to live happily together in joy, sorrow, but if the relationship is like hell and no longer makes the heart calm, then marriage is no longer a form of worship to God. THERE IS NO GOOD THING ABOUT DIVORCE BUT SOMETIMES DIVORCE IS THE BEST CHOICE OF THE WORST FOR A RELATIONSHIP
