Old Love Hasn't (Surely) Returned
CLB(t)K 9

Today Damar's emotions are drained completely, after meeting his troublesome ex-lover is now added again with his wife who suddenly wants a divorce from him.

"Can't I breathe for a moment? It feels like everyone's coming to strangle me at the same time." Damar said to himself.

Damar then took a deep breath on a regular basis, at least he should calm down and behave professionally at the moment.

Damar keeps trying as much as possible to suppress his anger at least until a meeting with his client so that everything still goes well.

Almost 7pm when Damar returned to his house, he immediately went up to his room after greeting his parents on the porch.

His steps were big and rushed, he had to meet his wife immediately now. A lot of things were on his mind too much until it felt like Damar's head was about to break.

Chequek...

The door to the room is open.

Damar threw his coat and briefcase in any direction, his steps were fixed on his wife who was sitting on the balcony of his room.

"What are you thinking?" Damar asked when he faced his wife.

"Why?" Annisa was shocked.

"You really want a divorce?" Damar asked ascertained, and Annisa replied with a nod.

"Why all of a sudden?" Ask Damar again.

" It's not sudden, I've thought about this over and over again, before I got sick and when I was in the hospital I never once stopped thinking what's best for us, it's true that when I'm sick, my sister is very kind to me, watching me, preparing all my needs, but it hurts me, sister" Annisa said.

Damar finally sat down next to his wife, wanting to hear his wife's explanation before he made up his mind as well.

"All that brother's attention hurt me, you know why?" Annisa looked at Damar, who was in the face just silently did not give her response.

"Because whatever attention you give me can't change the fact that you can't love me" Annisa continued.

"Then?" Ask Damar again.

"If I continue this marriage and in the future you find someone who can make you fall in love again then what about me? I'll be left behind." Annisa can finally express her feelings.

"Why don't you try to make me fall in love with you? Why did you choose to divorce me?" Damar asked curiously.

"Sister, I've been trying for 1 more year so that brother can fall in love with me, 1 year brother! For me it was enough to make me realize that I had to give up because whatever I tried my brother would never accept me." Answer Annisa then.

Damar was silent to Annisa's explanation, he thought that what Annisa said was true as well, he could not guarantee the future of Annisa and himself if he maintained this household.

In addition to the presence of the ex-boyfriend who is still trying to meet him and make Damar return to him, he does not want Annisa to be disturbed if the ex-girlfriend does other reckless things

"Well, let's get divorced!" Disconnect Damar.

Although she was ready with all the possibilities, Annisa was still shocked and cried to hear it. Her tears still fell even though she held it as hard as she could.

The two of them remained seated with an unbecoming feeling,

"As per my promise to your mother, I will return you well to your parents, for my parents' business after this we can meet them." Damar then got up to his room.

Annisa remained faithfully waiting on the balcony of her room, spilling all the disappointments that raged in her heart.

Is over. The marriage that was supposed to make her happy ended in a gaping wound.

"Why should I make you fall in love? Why isn't my sister trying to accept me?" Lirih Annisa to herself.

That night they passed by quietly, no one could close their eyes, no drowsiness that came upon them.

...****************...

"We're getting a divorce" Damar opened the conversation after breakfast.

"I'll return Annisa to her parents today." Connect Damar.

Ali Wicaksono Damar's father immediately stood staring at his son.

"What's wrong? Why the sudden divorce?" Ask him to hold back the anger.

"What's the room really? Aren't you guys all right?" Asked Eliza the mother who was no less surprised by the decision of her son and daughter-in-law.

"What do you and your mom expect from my wedding? I rejected it from the beginning, right? You're the ones who forced me and this marriage never ends!" Damar looked at his parents.

Annisa was unable to look at her in-laws, she just lowered her head without wanting to come along to speak at this moment.

"Do you still expect that cheap woman?" Ask mama Eliza.

"Mama! I ruined him I made him lose his freedom, I made him leave this country, so don't ever blame him!" Shall Damar unconsciously.

Damar was not aware that his words hurt the heart of someone who was still his wife.

Although invisible but Annisa feels her heart and feelings are crushed strongly by something that she can not explain.

"Annisa, explain what's really going on!" Damar's father's orders.

Annisa raised her head, looked around and met her husband.

Damar nodded, Annisa then told her what happened to her household, what she felt and how she tried to open her heart to him.

Annisa keeps telling stories even though she has to endure crying and her voice continues to tremble but she is determined to let go of Damar so that her husband can find his own happiness. So did he himself.

Plaque......

A loud slap echoed in the dining room.

Annisa sculpting,

Nope. Not Annisa but her husband.

Suddenly, Eliza's mother got up and approached her son and a slap occurred.

"Mama is trying to find a good woman, polite and from a good family as well, but if your taste is a bad and cheap woman it is better that you just divorce! Mom and dad are embarrassed if Annisa's parents know that my son prefers cheap girls like that!" Mama Eliza nyalang.

"Dad agreed to betroth you to Annisa not just because Hendra and I were friends, but because I knew that Hendra and his wife raised their children well." Ali lowered her voice, she did not know how to handle her son.

"For the last 29 years of your life, this time I felt a huge disappointment in you" Ali told his son.

Damar fell silent, Annisa also lowered her head deeply.

"My decision is already unanimous, we're going to get divorced!" Damar said firmly

"Come, but never expect mama will allow you let alone to bless you with the cheap women out there, mama is not willing mama is not sincere with your divorce!" Mama Eliza finally passed from the dining room to her room.

The cry of Damar's mother could not be contained anymore, the beautiful Russian woman continued to cry lamenting her son.

And Damar's father also passed by his wife, no one spoke, only the sound of crying from Damar's mother filled the silence in the room.
