Shackles the Heart of the Police Officer
CHAPTER 31 - Meaning of Marriage for Men

Early in the day at the police station, Rambo's heart skipped a beat, he would not be surprised if his chest seemed to overflow as if there was air forcing through the ribs.

It wasn't just his beliefs that made him so flutter. But also Anta Reza. My God, this reminds me of one guideline of his life during marriage: 'Once you are, then forever you remain', Sensation invades Rambo's mind, as if his body is now only awake to find out what if his best friend knows he wants to ask for a divorce filing letter?

"Spirit Ndan! we are ready to help if needed!" One moral support came from Davin.

Another hand came patting him on the shoulder from behind. Zico looked at him intently, to strengthen. "If your reasons are not strong enough for Mr. Anta, we are ready to help strengthen them!"

Rambo nodded then looked back at the door.

One belief and Rambo instantly caught fire when he touched the doorknob of Anta Reza's workspace. One breath, then his body became hot and tempestuous, ready for the man.

"Have my life just been sniffed away by you, Rambo?" Anta Reza greeted him with a smile, but also a bit of insinuation. "Since you've been married, you've rarely seen me. I think I forgot my best friend."

"Just feel it" Rambo replied in a soft voice. "I was a little bit more busy after marriage."

"Oh yeah? I understand what you mean. So how does it feel after marriage?"

"Nothing special, only I feel more crazy." Rambo pulls a chair in front of the table Anta Reza, his best friend and boss.

"I came here because I need your help!"

While Anta frowned with Rambo's answer just now. "What help?"

"Give me a letter of consent to divorce" Rambo replied without burden. "I want a divorce from Erin."

Anta looked at Rambo for a while, then propped up his chin with his thumb on the table, and at that moment his breath was very warm as his fingers were in front of his nose.

"What do you dream of Anta Reza?" Said Rambo looking at Anta with annoyance. "I need that letter quickly, I need to get separated from Erin immediately."

Anta turned the eyeballs when he saw the hard attitude of his best friend, but he had learned and knew Rambo more than a month and two months, Rambo attitude from end to end Anta Reza understood well all that.

"Is this all related to Marwah?" Anta said, while taking bottled water for Rambo. "I don't understand what's going on. I-i mean.... " Anta kept her voice slow so that no one else would hear, should a member pass by in front of her study.

"You've been separated from him for more than 5 years, I used to understand that you were indifferent, all by yourself and only thought about Marwah. But her position is now that you're married, I really hope that your desire for this divorce has nothing to do with her at all, you never think about Marwah again during your marriage, right?"

"Look, I know that since losing Marwah, your emotions are overflowing. And I'm sure, now you're also in a bad shape. I don't want you to take the wrong step, I mean-try to reflect on your request just now. Marriage is not for fun, marriage is not for parting ways. Especially if it turns out your reason is this, because it still likes to imagine the past."

Anta lifted her head and slammed Rambo with dark eyes demanding to be noticed. Demand the obedience of the gondrong man, again and again. "As for Marwah, I'm not right, am I?"

"If it's true how?" Reply Rambo, with the same stern look. As if he viewed Anta Reza purely as a friend, not a superior.

Anta shook her head and said, "Then just bury your request. I'll never approve."

And again, Anta was forced to admit the change in attitude of her best friend, she could feel the power of the gaze piercing her heart, when Rambo revealed a thin smile.

"Listen Rambo, a little advice from me as a friend. Marriage is not a playful event, when you say the hijab and granted by his guardian, at that time you have carried the honor of a woman. You no longer think about yourself, but your responsibilities are greater, continuing the responsibilities of a father. Then you think, deciding on a divorce just because you're still thinking about the past, is that fair to the woman you married Rambo?" Anta Reza rubbed her face rough, like she was in a heavy dilemma.

"You heard me, right? How should I wake you up? Try to accept the state of Rambo, is it just because your attitude so totally changed women? You've lost yourself. Next time, remember how you agreed to honor your wife, how her parents took care of her before they entrusted everything to you. Never once think of ruining a woman's self-esteem, just because of your selfishness."

Anta Reza's voice just touched Rambo's mind. Its gentle and firm rhythm sounded urgent as well as irritating.

"Have returned to your work place, after the time to go home later let's have coffee together in the usual Caffe, we can chat again like before, all complaints, fun, problems. I'll listen to all that from you." Said Anta again while retreating slightly towards the back.

"We're talking now, Anta." Rambo said, he took a deep breath. Calmer than before and glanced back at Anta Reza. "I don't blame everything you say, I admit you're much stronger mentally than I am in a family. I also want to learn to accept and love all the shortcomings and advantages of Erin, just like you to your wife. But, unfortunately, this request for my divorce, not just because of Marwah. I have my own compelling reason, which you probably wouldn't have guessed, because you've never felt this way, in your household life."

Anta felt insinuated, then raised her chin while saying, "If there really is another reason, say. I will listen and consider well. Don't worry."

"Yes, fine." Rambo smiled briefly and nodded respectfully at Anta. "I'm permission to call two people, who can be witnesses to my reasoning in front of you. Just-come inside!"

Not long after, only about a few seconds the door to Anta's workspace opened again, Davin and Zico entered together.

"Good morning, sir!" they said in unison while saluting.

"Close the door, and try to talk about this." Tell Rambo while glancing at them with a careful gaze, as if hinting that Zico and Davin convey everything in accordance with the knowledge they have and the experience they experienced in Rambo's house yesterday.

Anta Reza nodded slowly, as if she had approved of the testimony that the two of them would give.
