Reversing the Ex
The Red Nokta Marriage

Djakarta, 2015.

Yumi was preparing to meet her husband at the college. Fabian Abdullah, the man he loved. Teaching at one of the top universities.

Art is his major. Painting is his hobby.

That morning Yumi accidentally contacted Fabian. Tell him he will come soon. A month of not meeting, makes Yumi miss.

"Hello, today I'm home" Yumi said through the call.

"No need to rush, just enjoy your time together with Mama and Papa. You're not active on campus anyway. The Dean extended the time off for one reason or another." This reason is quite classic, but Yumi still kekeh want to go home and meet the husband.

"But I'm on my way. I really miss you," said Yumi.

Even though her heart was pinched, Yumi remained spirited. Fabian's reasons didn't affect his determination.

"But I'm busy. I can't keep you at home all the time." Fabian gave an excuse. So this time successfully made Yumi's chest throb.

The woman squeezed her fingers which started to sweat. He bit his lower lip, a sign of disappointment starting to hit his inner self.

"No problem, I can wait for you at any time" Yumi said resignedly.

However, the black-haired woman remained on the original plan. Where he would meet Fabian at the college and give him a surprise.

Usually Fabian spends time behind campus. While enjoying Yumi's cooking, the man also prepared the material.

This time Yumi brought her husband's favorite food, processed by the Mother as the hand of the in-laws.

Yumi glanced at the lunchbox for Fabian. Inside there is white rice, beef stew, parchment, asparagus, as well as a little sambal and some crackers.

Yumi smiled, imagining feeding Fabian behind the campus as she had.

Long journey, Yumi finally arrived at the campus. He came down with a cheerful feeling. His longing for Fabian was already unstoppable. It feels like hugging and spending time together in bed.

Yumi enters the campus lobby, down a small hallway to quickly get to Fabian's room and take her out to eat. He always goes through that shortcut.

And how surprised Yumi was that day. As if she was about to shed tears, she watched her husband laughing with a woman who did not know his name.

He said on the call, Fabian is busy working on a new project on campus. He can't be bothered. Even for lunch, he missed it.

What did Yumi just see? Doesn't that describe someone relaxing?

With Yumi he always said he was busy and tired, while with others Fabian always took time whenever it was.

Isn't the situation very clear? Where Yumi's presence is not needed.

Now Yumi can only hide behind the white walls of the campus. With tears in her eyes, Yumi pressed against her chest.

The woman's heart seemed to be working hard pumping her blood to a boil.

"My friend, you always complain of being tired and tired. You always close your eyes when I ask you to make love. Today I have found the answer, that my presence you never wanted." With tears in her eyes, Yumi muttered softly.

Yumi looked back at the lunchbox from her mother. Fabian would never again enjoy the contents of that lunchbox, even for the last time.

Now Yumi wiped away the tears, walking home with her mother's hand.

Meanwhile, Fabian was still cool with his girlfriend, suddenly he heard the sound of falling objects.

Bugs!

Fabian turned to the source of the voice, but he saw no one there.

Apparently it was Yumi who fell down with her lunchbox.

That day Yumi did not go directly to Fabian's house, but to Erika's house. That's where he blurted out his grievances.

Three days after that day, Fabian wasn't looking for Yumi. He knew that Yumi had come back.

"Hello, Fabian." Fabian got a phone call from his mother-in-law.

"Hello, Ma. How are you?" sahut Fabian's.

"Good Mom news, son. Is Yumi with you? He said he'd call Mama when he got home. I dialed the number, but it's not active" Yumi's mother said.

"Yumi? Is he here?" Now that Fabian's dream is starting to fret, how can he ignore his wife.

"Have he been back for three days, have you not met him?" Hearing that, Fabian recalled his conversation with Yumi three days ago, that he was on his way.

It's just that Yumi didn't say exactly where it was.

Now Fabian remembered the sound of falling objects while sitting with his girlfriend behind campus.

"Is that Yumi?" he murmured after ending the call of the Father-in-law.

Fabian calls Yumi, but her number is off. Even at home Yumi did not appear after that day.

"Yumi, where are you?" Fabian started to panic. He searches for Yumi to all the places he used to visit. However, the results remain nil.

Now Fabian remembered the figure of Erika, his wife's friend. "Hello Erika, are you with Yumi?"

After that they met. However, Yumi has changed. Yumi became more reserved and not passionate to look at Fabian. She misses her husband very much.

"I'm sorry, I don't think you're back from Mama's house yet" Fabian said, holding Yumi's hand. However, Yumi avoided it.

"Let's get a divorce." Those three words did not surprise Fabian. His expression was flat and straight. Like not feeling lost at all.

"You must be tired, let's go home and eat something, em? This time I'm cooking." Although not feeling guilty, but Fabian is still trying to persuade Yumi.

"We go to the religious office. I've prepared our divorce papers. Everything is here. You don't have to worry, I won't demand anything from you. Considering I went into that house with nothing."

It was undeniable, that Fabian's heart was starting to pinch this time around. However, he just fell silent. I don't plan to stop the divorce.

"Give me your talaq." With a quivering voice, Yumi asks Fabian to drop the talaq on her.

Initially Fabian is reluctant, but Yumi keeps pressing. There were no signs of regret from the cheeked man's face. What should be preserved from the marriage? If only one of them struggled, while the other was silent, then everything would be in vain.

"Yumi Zahra Gautam, today I'm looking at you."

Throw Yumi's life, when the talaq strand was ejected from Fabian's thin lips.

His whole body trembled, his tongue was weak, suddenly his knees were stiff. Yumi was speechless. The marriage he had longed for, now ended in the red nocta of marriage.

Two years of building a household, Yumi's hard-to-please bear.

And in the corner of the room, he stared at the red nokta nano of his marriage.

It is true that he wanted a divorce. However, his musababnya came from Fabian.

It is undeniable, that there is a pinch of hope in Yumi's heart to be detained by Fabian. Yumi wanted her husband to say, "Can't you go?"

However, that simple sentence is just wishful thinking. Fabian never held him back.

Fabian let Yumi go. The woman opened the living room door while crying. While Fabian sat on the dining chair, staring flat at the divorce papers.

There are two signatures on both corners of the white paper, indicating that their marriage bond has ended.
