A week later, at Pak Riswan's family residence, they were currently about to have breakfast together.
Ms. Riswan was seen preparing a breakfast menu with Sarah, who that morning had looked neat with a white blouse and black pants subordinate.
Mr. Riswan appears to be holding his grandson in the back garden, while drying the baby to get vitamin D from the morning sun.
"Sir, breakfast first," exclaimed Ms. Riswan from the kitchen door directly adjacent to the back garden, where the husband was with his granddaughter.
Mr. Riswan turned his head and commented a smile while nodding at his wife, a woman who had been faithful years to accompany him and gave him two children.
The old man then walked into the house holding the tiny baby.
"Sumi, help you replace me for Bagas's car," exclaimed Bu Riswan to one of the workers who happened to be in charge of making it at home that day.
"Excite, Ma'am (Yes, Ma'am)," Sumi said.
Mr. Riswan also handed over his grandson who had been named Bagaskara Adi Jaya, or commonly called Bagas, to Bu Sumi.
"Please, Sum," Mr. Riswan told one of his workers.
Mr. Riswan's family never raised a domestic assistant, but asked the workers who used to help in the garden, to take turns helping some at home, of course with daily wages, to take turns, just like working in the garden.
For washing clothes, Ms. Riswan entrusted her to the laundry services owned by Tino, her son, who did open the business as additional income in addition to her work at one of the private banks.
Now, Mr. Riswan, Ms. Riswan and Sarah, are enjoying breakfast made by the hostess assisted by Ms. Sumi.
"Sar, today's the trial, right?" ask Mr. Riswan when he finished eating his food.
Abstinence in the family, talking in the middle of a meal. They will choose to speak before or after the meal.
"Please, Sir (Yes, sir). After breakfast, I want to go to court for the first mediation agenda" Sarah replied.
"Are you getting a lawyer, Nduk?" ask Miss Riswan
"Thank God, ma'am. Susan, my friend who is in Semarang has been looking for. Today, we'll meet in person in court" Sarah replied.
"You're really ready to split up Miko, Sar?" ask Mr. Riswan to make sure.
"God willing this is the best, sir. Although in fact, this is Sarah's selfish decision, which separated Bagas from her father," said Sarah.
His face again looks sad, when staring at the son who is currently carried by Bu Sumi.
Riswan saw sadness in his daughter's eyes. The old woman grabbed Sarah's hand, and clasped it tightly.
"You're patient. This is all a test for us. May you always be given the best by Allah SWT" said the mother praying for happiness for her beloved daughter.
No parent is happy to see their child divorced. However, if it was better than being together, then they could only support all of his children's decisions.
...🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀...
In court, Sarah, who had arrived an hour before the appointed time, was waiting in the waiting room. The lawyer Susan, her friend, had not yet shown any presence at the venue, and made Sarah even more nervous.
The door of the mediation room opened, and an officer called her name and the name of the husband.
"Miko Santanu Aji's father and Sarah Amalia's mother" he called.
Sarah looked at him immediately. He saw that he was just there. Miko did not appear to be present at all.
"Yes, I'm Sarah Amalia" said Sarah.
"Please go inside" said the officer.
Sarah enters the room that will be used as a mediation room between herself and Miko.
As is well known, if today's event is the first mediation, where the religious court will try various ways, giving advice to couples who want to separate, where the court will work, to rethink the decision.
The agenda also intends to make the two to stay united and solve the problems they are facing.
Just as Sarah was about to enter, a woman was seen walking towards her in formal attire. The woman seemed to fix the location of her glasses that slightly sagged from where they should be.
Sarah kept watching and waiting for him, even though she didn't know who the woman was.
"Yes, I'm Sarah. Um ... You ..." said Sarah.
The glasses lady seemed to extend her hand. Sarah grabbed him and shook hands.
"Include me, I'm Monika. I'll be your lawyer during this divorce process" he said.
"Oh, Miss Monika. It's good to see Mommy" said Sarah.
"I am too. Sorry for coming late. There is something that needs to be taken care of earlier," said Monika.
"Yes. No papa. Not yet started this" said Sarah smiling.
The two of them walked together into the room.
There was already a mediator appointed by the court, because neither Sarah nor Miko had chosen their previous mediator, so the court chose the appropriate mediator to deal with the issues between the two.
"Good morning, Mother Sarah and ..," said the mediator.
"Monika Maheswati's. I'm attorney for Sarah's mother" Monika said.
"Well, good morning, Mother Sarah and Mother Monika. Introduce, I am Lulu Latifah, the mediator who will guide the course of mediation in your case of divorce" explained Lulu, the mediator.
"Good morning, Miss Lulu," said Sarah.
"Is the defendant not present?" ask the mediator.
"It doesn't seem like it yet" Monika replied quickly.
"alright. Let's wait a minute" said Lulu.
Sarah seemed silent, she just looked at the two women who were in the room with her in turn.
The mediator, Lulu, seems busy checking the completeness of the filed file, while the lawyer Monika, is busy with the tab screen.
Long enough they wait, until it does not feel past an hour and a half from the initial schedule.
"It seems, the defendant will not be present" Monika said suddenly.
"Well, it's been an hour and a half from the schedule. It's too long to be late" said Lulu.
Sarah seems silent, because she doesn't know anything about the divorce process. He just came forward, armed with information obtained from internet sites about divorce procedures, assisted by the attorney of law introduced by his friend, Susan.
"It seems, this first mediation process we consider complete, because it is impossible to mediate with only one party. For further mediation, I will schedule another two weeks. The letters will be sent to their respective addresses, and I hope that both parties can be present here" the mediator said.
"Well, Mom," said Sarah.
The three of them shook hands. After that, Sarah and Monika walked out of the mediation room.
"I hope the defendants will never be present at the hearing" Monika said.
Sarah stopped her steps, and looked at the monikan in confusion.
"What then? Later the longer dong trial," said Sarah.
"Quite the contrary. The court will quickly decide this divorce, because it sees the defendant has absolutely no intention to improve his relationship," replied Monika.
