The Broken Ring's
Letter from Lalita

Still with a frown, Erick received the envelope handed over by Bu Risna. His eyes bought when he saw the description of where one of the envelopes came from. The Office of the Religious Court.

Roughly speaking, Erick opened the envelope and took out the contents. His eyes immediately bought while reading the contents which turned out to be a call against him for the divorce lawsuit that Lalita filed. Rushing Erick got up and went towards Lalita's room.

"Lalita! Where are you? What does this mean?" erick shouted in the room with a face full of emotion.

Of course, there was no confirmation from inside the room because Lalita was really gone. In fact, just by feeling the empty nuances of the room, it can be ascertained if the occupants are no longer there.

As if to really convince, Erick also checked the bathroom and opened the wardrobe in the room. Most of Lalita's clothes are still in place, but there are some empty shelves, just like Erick's current feelings that also suddenly feel empty.

"Don't joke, Lita! This is not funny at all" Erick growled as he squeezed the summons from the Religious Court in his hand.

Again no one responded. Lalita has indeed left, so no matter what Erick wants to say, the woman will certainly not give her response.

Erick immediately pulled out his phone, then contacted his wife. But his efforts failed because Lalita did not activate her phone. The man rubbed his hair with a frown. I don't know, but parting from Lalita was his dream long ago, no matter if it would make him lose everything. But now, why was he even so worried like this?

"Mom Risna!" This time Erick exclaimed to call his housekeeper while exiting the room previously occupied by Lalita.

"Yes, Sir." Miss Rishnah also came to Erick in a hurry.

"Mom didn't see Lalita leave?" ask Erick.

"No, Sir." Miss Risnah shook her head. "So I did see the Madam go to the front yard, but then it went back into her room. After that, I cooked in the kitchen, so didn't see the Madam again out."

A rough gust of breath sounded from Erick's mouth. The man even grabbed his own hair while closing his eyes for a moment in shock and surprise.

A moment later, Erick opened his eyes again and thought of something. Could it be that Lalita is currently going home to her parents? If you remember all this time Lalita always went there every time she was sulking, it does not rule out the possibility at this time she also did the same.

Soon Erick takes the car keys and rushes away, leaving behind breakfast that he hasn't even had time to touch. He was driving towards his in-laws house with an erratic feeling. Surprisingly, compared to the worry of facing Arfan's anger, Erick was more worried about the divorce lawsuit that Lalita presented to him. After two years of being a possessive wife, why is she desperate to get divorced? Could it be that his wife had actually listened to his conversation with Larisa that night?

Erick gripped the steering wheel while increasing the speed of his car. Not knowing what really made his heart so miserable. Clearly, he wanted to meet Lalita first and talk well with her. Ah, if you remember, all this time he never invited Lalita to speak properly. Only Lalita always spoke while looking at him with all her heart, while she herself was always reluctant to look at his wife's face.

Yes, Erick is always looking the other way every time he has to say something to Lalita. He always feels uncomfortable if he has to meet a woman who incidentally is his own wife.

Not felt, Erick finally arrived at the residence of Arfan. His arrival was immediately greeted by a waiter who immediately drove him to the dining room, where Riani and Larisa currently eat breakfast. There was no Arfan because the middle-aged man was out of town on business.

"Erick?" Larisa and Riani muttered almost simultaneously upon seeing Erick's arrival. The two of them were seen staring at the man with a surprised expression as well as astonished. Because, never before Erick came early this morning, especially without Lalita.

"Good morning. Sorry to interrupt Mama and Risa's breakfast," Erick said awkwardly. Calling Larisa as a sister is something that he must do in front of others since he married Lalita.

Inevitably, Erick was sitting in one of the chairs.

"Where is Lita? Just being alone?" riani asked while serving a cup of tea and a piece of toast to Erick.

Erick slightly raised his gaze towards his mother-in-law. Obviously Lalita is not here at the moment.

"Lita's at home. I had a business nearby, so all of you stopped by." Erick finally gave me an alibi.

Riani smiled in response, while Larisa stared intently at Erick. The girl knew very well that something must have happened between Erick and Lalita.

"Why isn't there, Ma?" erick asked Riani while avoiding Larisa's gaze. He tried to find excuses as if he was going to meet with Arfan.

"Papa's out of town. It seems like two more days just come home" said Riani.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot" Erick said as he grabbed the cup of tea served by Riani and gulped down the contents. Again Erick threw his face in the other direction because he did not want Larisa to see the look on his face.

Because he did not find Lalita there, Erick finally said goodbye. He must figure out Lalita's whereabouts before Arfan learns of the divorce suit his wife is laying. Arriving at home, Ms. Risnah greeted with a worried face.

"Lita hasn't come home yet?" erick asked, hoping his wife would come home when he left.

Miss Risna answered with a slit, making a disappointed feeling somehow infiltrate Erick's heart. The man went straight into the room Lalita had previously occupied.

Erick's eyes were immediately fixed on an envelope that he had not previously opened. He immediately grabbed the envelope and opened it with a little rough. A piece of paper with Lalita's handwriting she immediately saw. Instantly Erick's chest rumbled violently while reading the contents inside.

Dear, Erick.

Sorry, I left without saying goodbye to you. There is no need to look for me because right now I want to be alone. No need to worry either. I won't create a problem that will trouble you.

Before, I told you that I'd give you something you wanted the most as our anniversary gift. Today, I kept my promise. From now on, you don't have to feel tormented anymore because you have to live life with me. Forgive me for not being able to understand your feelings. Forgive me for being such a barrier between you and the woman you love.

Blessed, Erick. Do not suffer like yesterday. I promise, I will not bother you and Risa again. I also promise, this time Papa will bless you.

Lalita's.
