Sharing Love: Love Me Once Only

Sharing Love: Love Me Once Only
Officially Divorced


It's been three months since Tari left Danar. Since his departure that day, a week later Danar got a subpoena from a religious court. Danar tries to meet Tari, but ends up in vain. The woman was already unanimous with her determination to divorce. Even during mediation Tari refused to refer.


His relationship with Anya also made no progress. The woman who officially became his wife still looks reluctant to get close to him. Let alone close together, look at his face, Anya as if not wanted. Danar has been trying to give genuine care and affection. But there doesn't seem to be any effect on Anya. His attitude towards Danar was still cold and even ketus. Danar never gave up, no matter what kind of treatment Anya had for her, she was his wife and was currently pregnant with her baby. Danar believes his patience will pay off someday.


It wasn't just Dance and Anya's problem that he thought about. The condition of his office that was unstable made his work always piled up as if endless, it made Danar always busy every day.


As usual in the morning, Danar is enjoying breakfast with his mother and wife.


"Ma, I go first!", Anisa nodded.


It's common for Anya to leave the dining table first. Anisa once rebuked him, and the next day Anya did not come down to eat. From that time Anisa and Danar did not bother Anya who left first. The woman is pregnant anyway. She mustn't be stressed let alone depressed, so they free Anya to do whatever she wants.


At the table, there are only Anisa and Danar. Anisa knew, if lately her son had so much mind burden. It was not only her attitude that still rejected her. But also his divorce with Tari who is about to enter the final.


"Nar, tomorrow's your divorce verdict hearing with Tari. You ... You are ready to part with her?", Anisa asked in a sad tone. Although not close to the prospective ex-daughter-in-law, but Anisa knows if Danar must feel lost.


"This decision we have agreed with Ma. The sense of loss must be there. We were together for the next year. It's not easy to forget everything even though my love for Dari is no longer like it used to be. I just regret not being able to be a good husband to her as long as we live together. Maybe that's also what makes Dance steady divorced from me. Anyone who wants to have a husband like me. But yes, there is also a meeting of farewell. I'm sure this is the best for us!."


Anisa looked at her son wryly, "You're fine right? I'm sorry, son. It all happened because of my mother's selfishness. If only Mama would breastfeed and accept Dance sincerely. None of this is going to happen!."


Danar looked at the woman who had given birth to him, "Ma, don't blame yourself. Everything that happens is destiny. As hard as we try, but if destiny says no, then we can do nothing! I learned a lot from the life experiences I had. There are many experiences I can draw. Including, being grateful for what we have right now!."


Anisa sighed, "You're right, it's all fate. But still Mama feels guilty for Dance. Mama has never been a good in-law to him and Mama really regrets that!", said Anisa


"Alright, Ma. Don't think too much about this. Maybe this is what's best for us!."


"Nar, promise Mama that you will change. Don't make any more mistakes that could make you lose for the umpteenth time!."


Danar smiled gently, "I promise Ma, I won't repeat the same mistake. I will take good care of Anya and my son. Although there is no apology for Anya for me, I will not give up. I don't want to lose my wife and my son. They are now the most precious treasure I have!."


Without them noticing, Anya heard all Danar's words. There was a bit of regret because of his so bad attitude towards Danar all this time. The man was kind and patient with it, even though he did not consider it to exist. Danar is so attentive and warm even though the reply from him is just a spicy and painful sentence.


Oh God, I've been sinning all this time. What am I supposed to do now? Bathin Anya's.

Today is the trial of Danar's divorce ruling with Tari. Despite knowing the end result, Danar and Anisa still took the time to attend the conference. At least they can apologize to Dari sincerely after the trial later.


Everyone has entered the courtroom. Dance accompanied Tania while Danar With Anisa. Not forgetting their lawyers.


After a while, the judge finally decided if they were really divorced. The hammer beat indicates that there is no relationship between them anymore. After the judge leaves the courtroom. Danar and Anisa approach Tari and Tania.


"Dance, can I talk to you for a second?", Danar pinta


Dance smiled sweetly, "Sure. I want to talk to you too!."


They decided to go to the cafe next to the court. They sat facing each other, Tania and Anisa both silenced without anyone greeting. The atmosphere felt so awkward.


"Tari, I want to apologize. I realized that during my time as your husband, I made a lot of mistakes. Even I repeatedly hurt your feelings!", Danar said.


Tania looked at Danar cynically, in contrast to Tari who was smiling sweetly. "I've forgiven you, Danar. I'm also sorry that as long as I'm your wife, I haven't been able to be a good wife. Also a good daughter-in-law also to mistress Anisa!."


Dance's words touched Anisa's heart, by eliminating the ego, she finally apologized to her former daughter-in-law. "Dance, I'm sorry Mama too. Sorry if all this time you are depressed to be Mama's daughter-in-law. I'm sorry I haven't been a good in-law to you!."


"Why are you just now apologizing? Just realized, if you're always torturing my son's bathin!", circus Tania.


"So you forgive us?", asked Anisa


Dance again smiled, "Sure Ma. I've forgiven you guys. Even I have to thank you guys so much!."


Anisa and Danar stared at each other. Thanks for what, they thought. Dance did not even demand gono gini treasures in their divorce. "You mean, thank you for what?", asked Anisa curiously.


"Ah, Yes. I haven't told you, have I?. All the Mall belongs to Danar mas, has now changed its name in my name. Even the house of Anisa's mistress, has also changed ownership of my name. So, please take your foot out of that house after this. I'll give you until seven o'clock at night!!."


Anisa gasped, and so did Danar. Is this all a dream? How could Tari say that? What the hell is going on?


"W-what do you mean Dance?", Danar stammered.


Dance laughed softly, "You forgot? I asked for your autograph at the time. You who are still crazy about me, don't even read the document at all. You can easily sign unsuspecting signatures. So, yeah that's it. The document you signed, is the transfer of all your assets into my name!!."


"No way, you must be just bragging!" said Anisa did not accept.


Now it was Tania's turn to laugh, "You see this well!", Tania threw a copy of the ownership document. Danar and Anisa's eyes rounded at once.


"No. This is not legal. It's a forgery!", cried Anisa


Dance looked at her former in-laws cynically, "You're not a fool, my dear ex-in-law. The document is genuine and legal in the eyes of the law. Please fight if you can!."


Anisa was limp for a moment, all her hard work that she started from scratch has now changed hands. Everything is gone and belongs to someone else.


"So right, if your goal is to marry my son all this time only because of property?", said Anisa lirih.


"Initially not. But because of your son's attitude that kept hurting me, I ended up doing this. Hows it? Do you like the surprise I gave you? Congratulations on being a commoner, my ex-husband and my dear in-laws!".", Dance smirked


"You are a demonic woman. No regrets pocket disliked and condoned your relationship from the beginning!!", Anisa spoke with emotion.


"That's Miss Anisa. This is the price you have to pay for throwing me away!."


"Don't cry here. Shame to see many people!", continued Tania who saw Anisa's eyes glazed over. "If you want to be angry, blame your son. He was too stupid, as a man!!"


Danar clenched his hands, "Why can you bring all this to me, Dance?."


Dance laughed cynically, "I did this because of you, Danar. You hurt me so deeply. You reneged on all our promises. You betrayed me, you dumped me after I was no longer needed. All is not worth the pain I've been through!!." Dance vented all her emotions.


"You ruined my life. And I only reply to what you did!!."


Danar stared at Tari with sadness, his ex-wife and father-in-law were standing about to leave the cafe. Danar freezes on the spot, but not with Anisa he runs towards the parking lot, trying to stop the Tari car that was about to go.


"Hey, are you crazy? Get out of there!", cried Tania.


"No. Before I get back what you've taken!."


"Basic crazy. If you don't want to step aside, I'll hit you!."


Tania's threat is meaningless to Anisa, the woman still confronts her ex-daughter-in-law's car.


"Damn. I'll really hit you!!."


Tania stepped on the gas and prepared to drive her vehicle, "Maybe this is your destiny, Anisa. Goodbye, you fucking lady!."


"Ma, don't be crazy!", prevent Dance. But Tania ignored him. Dana who came out of the cafe was surprised to see her mother who was in danger. Before Tari's car actually hit Anisa. Danar first pushed his mother until he was finally hit.


"Andar!!!."
