"SHAMEFUL!

Tell me, what really happened Syma? why did Roy get into the house while I was out of town? what did you do that he dared to touch you?" asked Revan sharply. His eyes reddened holding back the anger he was ready to explode. The feelings of shame and heartache were also mixed into one.

While Syma can only sob to hear Revan who often snapped at him. Syma thought the arrival of her husband would make her heart feel calm and secure. But it turns out he was wrong.

Revan went on a rampage and vented anger at him. Without any pity to see his wife who was almost harassed. Revan accused Syma of something she had never done before.

So much pain that Syma felt. His heart was as if it had been cut down by thousands of sharp knives.

"Why do you think that, mom? you know for yourself how I.

I never once let any man into the house, while I was away. Pri it... she...."

"How did Roy get in? Tell me Syma?

Is this all your plans that have cheated behind my back!" accuse him with a tone that is no less high.

Syma speaks a thousand languages. Tears continue to flow without being prevented. Everything Syma explained. Revan did not hear it. Of course that makes Syma worse. His body feels weak.

"For God's sake, mas.

Let alone cheating. Even his intentions had never been thought of by me.

Trust me," said Syma who had knelt down because her whole body felt weak. Syma was devastated every time she heard the accusations made by her husband.

"How can I believe it, Syma. It's mortifying.

I was so embarrassed when I came face to face with our neighbors. What they'll say about me later.

The man could not be found yet. I'm really ashamed I can't do anything like this."

BRAKKKKKK

Because it's so upset. Revan punched the wall resulting in a loud enough sound. It made Syma and their little daughter shocked.

"STOP.

don't hurt yourself, ma'am." Syma pulls Revan's hand so the man stops hurting himself. But Syma's hand was immediately thrown violently by Revan.

"Hurt?

You're the one who caused this pain first Syma. This wound is nothing compared to your treatment of me."

"I have to how do you trust me, mas? tell me?" syma almost groaned because she was so upset and sick.

"There's only one way.

Divorce." said Revan coldly.

Like being struck by lightning and also a pounding thorn. Syma's body shook at the words. But Syma still did not believe what she had just heard. Revan couldn't possibly divorce her.

"What are you saying, Mom. Don't mess with that word."

"I'm not messing with Syma.

I'm gonna divorce you. Nothing can sustain our home. You've ruined him. You ruined everything."

Syma was silent. His tongue felt faint to interrupt this time. Syma is not ready to accept it. But he also had no power to resist. Revan has given her a talaq. Something that was never imagined would come out of the mouth of the husband she loved so much.

Their house was all right. It was destroyed in just a blink of an eye.

"Mother."

Zea's voice made them turn their attention to the little boy who ran up to Syma.

Syma knelt down to align her body to her beloved little daughter Zea. "Ze darling. Let's help Mommy pack things. We'll be out of here soon" said Syma, tucking in Zea's hair that covered her eyes.

The little boy looked at him confused. "But where are we going? Is Mommy going to take Ze for a walk?" ask Ze with his flexible face.

Syma displayed a slight forced smile. And nodded slowly. "Yes." Yeah."

"Horary.....

Are you coming too?"

This time Syma nodded. "No dear. Dad can't come. Ze knows he just got home and he must be tired."

Even the little Ze agreed. However, Revan's voice suddenly stopped them.

"What do you mean you want to take Zea away from me? Ze's not going anywhere. He'll stay here with me.

A woman like you will not be able to properly educate my son.

I should have listened to my mother's advice from the beginning. That I shouldn't have married a woman born without a father" Revan said sharply. Stabbed right in Syma's heart.

"Is that my fault too? Do you think I'm happy with the fact that I don't have a father?

I'm not gonna let Zea get away from me. He's my son. I gave birth to her. You're always busy with your work, how can you keep it?"

"I'll try to take care of him. If necessary, I'll find your replacement as soon as possible. To care for and love my son."

Syma was again made up by Revan's statement. As if not satisfied enough to have hurt Syma earlier. Now he smashed back a large rock that seemed to hit Syma's head.

"No one will love my son more than I do. There will never be a Revan.

Stop thinking about your ego which will only make Zea a victim. I can't believe that Zea will be safe with another woman!"

"Then do you think Zea would be safe with you?" revan said cynically and interrupted blatantly. "I don't want my son to be immoral in the hands of a woman like you" he added.

"No.

You can insult me all you want. I was also sincere when you divorced me.

But let me take Zea with me. He is my world. How can I survive away from my son. I will never be able to, please do not separate me from my son," said Syma who pleaded with Revan's feet. But with a rough release Revan feet from the grip of Syma. It was disgusted when the woman touched it.

"No.

Now get out of here, Syma. I'm really sick of seeing you.

don't ever show your face back in front of me. And for our divorce papers. I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Without pity, Revan drives Syma out of her home. Although Syma had knelt down and begged to let Zea go with her. Revan still does not allow that.

Revan doesn't even care about the hysterical cries from Zea who wants to go with Syma.

"GO AWAY FROM HERE SYMA!! AND NEVER COME BACK AGAIN," throw Revan out while closing the door rudely. Leaving Syma alone outside her home without bringing anything.
