Bram turned towards Beni. He approached his second brother.
"Say Beni. What made you want to get divorced from Liona? is it because he's no longer perfect?"
Beni was silent and did not answer.
"You know son. For months you were in a coma. Not once did the nurse clean your body. Liona cleans your body. The apartment he had prepared had never been occupied.
Only the room where you are being cared for is the place for her to rest. And this is your reward for him taking care of you as long as you are unconscious?"
Mr. Erlangga had been sitting on the sofa right next to Beni. Bramantyo's sister turned to her father. Mr. Erlangga again told Beni what happened during his treatment.
"If it's because of perfection. You are not perfect now. If you only blame, then you were involved in the accident, son. If you want to indulge in heartache, then Bram and Ayra should hate Liona more. Because the idea of her being with Shela leaves the husband and wife separated, a wife who during her young pregnancy must be passed alone without her husband by her side."
"So papa knows.... "
"Papa and Bambang know everything. Papa knows all about your children and your son-in-law. Papa's silence doesn't mean you don't love you. Even many times your company always goes bankrupt because of the lifestyle of Liona first. The Liona Scandals.
Papa's helping you, son.... If Papa and Mama who never considered Liona as his parents then how do you who have spent several years with him can easily no apologies?"
Bram who knows Liona's condition is very bad agreed when Mr. Erlangga and Bambang tried to close the gaps of evidence and witnesses that lead to him. In order to be happy Beni after waking up. And during the illness there is a faithful lover of the heart on the side. But the reality that happened turned out to be heart-wrenching, not only for Liona but also for Painted Lady and the family.
Beni bowed listlessly. He had always thought that Mr. Erlangga never cared about him. Always knew what he was going through. Even the story of his household is always with Beni who always relented.
"Liona never loved me. He just thinks of me as an escape when he needs to, he just thinks I exist."
Bram sitting on the couch. He embraced his sister who always had negative thoughts on him.
"Ben. A woman will not stay by our side when we are down if she does not love us. For months he was by your side. Walking is hard, but he still takes care of you. Though to hire ten nurses too papa and I can afford. But Liona refused. He wants to start a new one. If you remember how you ran after Liona's love. Then now that was what Liona felt. He ran after you but you stayed away."
Without noise. Details of the dew wet Beni's cheeks. He was unable to speak when considering his household with Liona almost often quarrel. How much he loves Liona.
"I still love him. But I'm I'm Tired. I'm tired of having to re-knit the household with me having to give up."
"Give him a chance, Ben. You know, I've been going out with women many times to try to forget about Rani. But the result is that I hurt others. Liona now isn't the old Liona."
Bambang embraced Beni's shoulder. A warm feeling approached the space of Beni's heart. He felt the warmth of his brother's love. He felt ashamed, sad because it had always stretched the distance between his two brothers.
"I just thought that if she divorced Liona, she would be happy. All this time he wanted a divorce. Maybe he'll be happy if he gets divorced. All right, I'm not gonna divorce him, I'm gonna give him a chance."
"Square."
The sound of the door opening. Ayra apologized for not wanting him to come in.
"Sorry, Pa. Your phone rang from earlier Bams. Looks like Rani called."
Ayra handed a cell phone to Bambang. The man opened his cell phone and sent a message to his wife asking him to buy her milk and Pampers when he came home.
Ayra approached Bram.
"Mas.... "
Bram stood up, he approached Ayra.
"What's up, Ay?"
Ayra whispered to Bram.
"Mas, Beni and Liona have been divorced since they set foot in Indonesia. Because Beni told Liona that she would divorce Liona when she arrived in Indonesia, including talak."
Bram kept his face away from Ayra's face. He looked inside his wife. Then turn towards Beni.
"Arn. Have you divorced Liona?"
"Yet. I haven't divorced Liona."
Ayra was standing next to Bram Her voice was hoarse. Seen Bramantyo's wife was holding back tears that wanted to fall.
"Beni, Talak is the right of the husband because a hundred times the wife says divorce is still talak does not fall. And let the wise husband face the wife who is in an emotional or angry condition. Likewise, the wife so that the husband does not just talk, it is necessary to be patient, to respect each other, to lower each other's egos. So that nothing like this happens."
Ayra sobbed holding back so that her crying voice did not break. Though tears wet his cheeks. Bram hugged his wife. He could feel if Ayra's body was trembling.
"You've dropped your talaq or talaq on Liona Ben... "
Ayra took a deep breath. He tried to catch his breath before continuing.
"That means that you obey the talak that is hung to happen in a case in the future. Your words that say Will divorce Liona If she arrives in Indonesia. So today you are no longer husband and wife according to the religion of Ben."
Ayra could not help her sadness. Bram who saw his wife's shoulder shook. He buried his head in his arms. He rubbed his wife's head.
"Have you told Liona?"
Bram spoke very slowly. He knows how his wife's heart is.
"Ayra is powerless. Ayra is not. We will take you to the cottage. Let Umi Laila explain. Don't let Liona alone mas. As strong as a woman, this kind of condition she needs people who give her spirit mas."
"So they're divorced? But hasn't he been to court?"
Bambang felt disbelief. Beni looked at Ayra in disbelief.
"But I didn't say divorce her back then."
"Arn. Within the religion of Islam. The word talak if seen from the time of the occurrence or fall. Then there are three, munajjaz, mudlaf, and mu’allaq.
First, the munajjaz talaq is a talak that in its expression or shigatnya not on hanger with certain conditions or associated with the future. Like I said 'I divorce you'.
Second, talak mudlaf is a talak whose fall is associated with the time to come, as a husband told his wife, ‘early in January you are the one who tertalak’. This means that the talc falls when it enters the first part of early January. Then fell talak on his wife.
And in case you and Liona fall your talaq’allaq is a conditional talak, and will fall when the things that are required in the future have been fulfilled in time. This type of talaq uses a condition letter such as in (if) and idza (when)."
Deg.
Beni's heart stopped. He is the only one who just intends.
"But I just meant it back then... I haven't divorced her.... "
Beni's voice sounded soft. Ayra looked at her sister-in-law.
"Patience Ben. You can ask Abi Ku for more details. He knows better about this chapter. To be more careful let Liona come with me and Bram in Kali Bening. It just so happened that one of the management rooms there was empty because it was left home."
"Yes, let Liona be there first. I think I'm gonna be living in an apartment some time. The distance to the office and to the hospital is pretty close if we stay there."
"Liona wants to?"
Bambang quickly commented.
"I want. Where I'll go back. Going back to my mom or dad might make me worse. Maybe there I can learn a lot. How to be a Muslim and a woman according to the Shari'a."
Liona stood at the end of the door she was in the arms of Mistress Lukis. The tears that returned fell in the eyes of the women who began to improve themselves into better wives. But the ordeal keeps coming back and forth.
Beni bowed listlessly. He was crying in silence. He regretted following the hate. A sense of resentment as his heart again felt tired to be with Liona. But when his mind and heart are calm. Love for Liona is present and asks to stay together. Regrets always come at the end. He who does not understand the science of religion regretted saying the words that turned out to make him drop talak on the wife who he actually still loved.
Again and again, a science in housing plays a role again. Because if the husband and wife have knowledge about the understanding of religion that a Sakinah mawadah warahmah will not be achieved if both parties want to win alone, always want to be understood but do not want to understand. Always demand the perfect partner when we marry ordinary people whose place is khilaf and wrong.
