Only I Love
Chapter 56

Ala's heart was shattered hearing the cold reaction from her mother-in-law. He felt he could do little more to explain himself. But, in the midst of her despair, the soft voice of Syauqi, her ex-husband, came to her ears.

"I'm sorry I made your family's mood so cloudy, I really didn't mean to" she said.

"I'm sorry, Da. Looks like we don't have much to talk about." Ala wiped her tears, touched her hand as a code to her mother to leave.

"Humaira, listen. I know you're very difficult right now, and I know that you're very strong. You've been through so much, and I'm sure you're capable of dealing with what's happening right now." Shauqi said it quickly.

Ala turned her head and saw Syauqi standing before her. Although he knew, his eyes were already unable to see, but he felt Syauqi looking at him so deeply.

"Even though we've separated, but I still care about you. I hope your family is sadinah, mawadah, warrahmah without one less thing, even though your family is currently being wracked by the problems that are in front of you."

Ala looked at Syauqi with tears streaming down her cheeks. She feels the support and sincerity of her ex-husband, which gives her the strength to move on with her life.

"Thank you, Uda. I know that our lives have changed, but I will try to be stronger. I will keep the honor of being a wife and love Rafatar with all my heart. Hopefully one day, we can all find true happiness, including Uda. Uda also deserves to be happy" said Ala wiped her tears.

Syauqi smiled behind the bandage covering her face and nodded her head. The two of them understood that the time between them was now closed.

"I will always pray for your good, Humaira. May all the problems that are present at this time soon be over and if she can be happy again."

With haru feeling, Ala looked at Syauqi with sayu one last time before they had to part ways.

"Thank you, Uda. Hopefully after this, Uda finds a really good woman outside in loving Uda sincerely. Could be a good mother to Baim" Ala said.

"We go first" said Ummi not much to beg himself and pushed the wheelchair used by Ala to leave Syauqi.

Although Syauqi could not see Ala, at least he had known how she was currently. He also realized that there was no place for him.

"Amin, Allahuma Amin," he said stiffly, though he knew Ala was no longer by his side.

"Ekhem, assaamualaikum," said the man confidently."

Rafatar looked in wonder at the man. "Walaikuksalam," he answered still in astonishment.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rafatar, I'm David, the lawyer for Mr. Ardian's emissary, your father. I'm here to help fight your case and defend your rights" the lawyer said in a stern voice.

Rafatar looked at the lawyer, suddenly he started to feel he had little hope of getting out of this place sooner. "Thank you, Pa" he whispered, remembering the father.

"I'm Rafatar, thank you for coming, Mr. David. I really need your help in this situation."

The lawyer sat down in front of Rafatar, putting the files on the table. "I've heard the whole chronology of this case and am ready to help you. One of the things I'm going to do is find Galih, the person who brings the funds of the Umrah participants of the travel agency that you lead to run abroad."

Rafatar was serious. "Are you sure you can find him, Mr David? I need truth and justice in this case."

The lawyer answered with determination. "I will do everything I can to find Galih and uncover the truth. I will work closely with the authorities and use the available resources to ensure that the responsible parties are properly prosecuted."

Rafatar was relieved to hear the lawyer's words. "Thank you very much, Mr. David. I'm very appreciative of your support and commitment in defending me. Please let me know if you need any information or whatever it is so I can get out of here."

The lawyer nodded sincerely. "We'll work together on this case. I'll inform you of developments and ask for your help if necessary. Together, we will fight to achieve the justice you deserve."

Rafatar spirit increased many times. Although no one was allowed to meet him, it turned out that he could still be given the opportunity to use the services of a lawyer.

'With the help of this lawyer, we will fight all injustice. The calamity that has caused this suffering will get the right reply, ' Rafatar murmured with determination in his heart. 'We will uncover the truth and restore our lives. Together, we're gonna get through this and get back together, honey.' Batin.

"Sir, may I ask you something?" Rafatar.
