After getting a distress call from Sabina, I started running towards the parking area, driving the car in a state of shock. Really, I felt like my heart was about to jump out, hearing Sabina cry made my whole body tremble. I was scared, so scared beyond losing my life.
And here I am now, standing at the door of my mother-in-law's magnificent house, what's wrong with this day? Even since opening my eyes, I have felt fear, great fear. Slowly, I stepped foot and walked through the living room.
Deg.
My footsteps stopped, my nerves were rounded, I was shocked to the point of almost falling. On the sofa, I looked at Mama and Papa sitting listlessly. Near Papa-in-law, I found Sabina crying, I don't know what Mama said until my Sabina's face looked lethargic, completely powerless. Seeing this situation makes me even more frustrated. I thought hard, what mistake have I made until my Sabin is that sad? Was it that early until Mama looked so angry? I don't know, no matter how I try to find the answer, I still can't find it.
"Mas Araf! Hiks.Hiks!" Sabina looked at me with a glaring gaze, She ran into my arms with a cry that sounded heart-wrenching. Really, my body feels numb. Seeing Sabina cry and the murderous look that Mama-in-law showed me made me think no more. I looked like a useless man, because indirectly I had made my soulmate cry. And this was the first time I heard Sabina's cry of hope, the hope that our relationship would always be fine.
Come on Araf, think of something! I muttered in my heart while thinking hard, what is it until Mama-in-law looks angry? I was at war with my own mind, there were many questions in my mind, unfortunately nothing could be answered, hearing Sabina's cry made me lose my mind, my body felt weak.
"Good, you've arrived."
"So I can say it clearly. Divorced my daughter. And don't ever show your face in front of me or in front of my family again."
The duarrr!
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Mama Nani's words were so powerful they destroyed me. Just thinking about losing Sabina made me lose my mind. Really, I would be gone if I lost Sabina.
"Ma, Sabina please. Don't say it like that, Mama knows, right? Araf is my life. His happiness is my happiness. I'll be without him." Said Sabina while cupping both hands in front of Dada. No more sound of his voice
"Are you aware of what you just said? You dare to oppose Mama, Sabina? And just for himself? My mom is really disappointed in you!"
"If you want to go, then go. But, remember, never show your face in front of Mama again, even if Mama's gone."
Hearing Mama's words, Sabina's body decays. His cry could no longer be heard, he mute as if his life had been lost.
You're so bad, Araf. Why don't you just go before this day comes. What have you done with your life? You can't even protect the woman you love so much. My mind again as it reached for Sabina's arm, helping her stand up.
"Ma, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. It's all just the past. I promise I won't let you down again." I said as I cupped my hands in front of my chest, I shed tears without making a sound. Really, this time is suffocating me. My chest began to feel tightness.
"Your divorce papers will be handed over by my lawyer, and you can wait in your office. If you want you can talk to both of your parents because I don't want to say anything anymore." Mama Nani said as she pointed at me with her index finger. Her net was flushed red, I can imagine how much anger Mama had towards me.
"Ma, I beg you. Don't do this, I love Sabina so much."
"Shut up, I said shut up."
"Quiet, Ma. Mama doesn't have to be that angry, Mama can be sick." Papa Otis, Papa-in-Law joined our conversation. Since then he has been living because he does not want to dispute his wife.
"Love what do you mean, huh? Your love only brings trouble for my daughter. You love him, but behind your back your lover plays with fire with him. He and his wife are almost gone. From today, Sabina will be staying at her house, not with a man like you." Mama Nani said again.
Kelu! That's all I feel. Why would Mama Nani want to separate me from her daughter? Can't he look at me with a loving look? How will I live without my Sabin presence? I wanted to scream, but hearing Papa-in-law's rough breathing made me hold my pain.
"Ma... Sabina please, please forgive Mas Araf as I forgive Brother Alan." Sabina looked at Mama Nani. Instead of hearing her daughter's request, Mama Nani's anger was ignited again.
"To defend her you even compared your brother to her." Mama pointed back at me, her gaze very sharp. I started to get goosebumps, this is why a man should not underestimate a woman, they look scary when they are angry.
"You're the same, you got my daughter in trouble for your bad deeds. And my son?" Mama Nani said with a heavy voice, She can't speak anymore.
"The poor behavior, his father and uncle were both useless. They hurt the woman. Mama doesn't want to see you again."
"Turn Mama to the room, Pa."
"One more Sabina, Mama doesn't bully you or just say nonsense. You can go with her, but don't expect you'll see Mama again." Mama said as she looked at Sabina with an unreadable look. After spewing her anger, Mama entered the room with Papa who had been a spectator since.
Araf, can you go through all of this without Sabina by your side? Split up? How could I do that? And how long is this farewell? If this is a test of my love, then I must accept it with a chest of air, I will melt the heart of Mama-in-law. I'm sorry Sabina, we had to split up. I muttered in my heart as I looked at Sabina who seemed to shed tears. I want to wipe away those tears, hold her tightly while saying 'everything will be fine'. Too bad, that remark could only be stuck in my throat until I left the Wijaya Mansion. Leaving Sabina with her sadness.
