The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 61
Hesti's gaze was glued to see a new S-brand car that cost in the range of 250 million. It was neatly parked in his yard, with a young man casually leaning against the car door. Curiosity made him get straight out of the car leaving Rudi and Faiq who were still chatting lightly.
“It turns out Rizwar has arrived first from us.” Faiq looked at Rizwar who was waiting for them with a big smile.
Hesti forgot that he was in a wheelchair this morning, and it was Faiq who lifted him into the car. Hesti walked over to Rizwar. Now he stands right in front of her.
Faiq and Rudi smiled looking at Nesti who was walking away leaving the two of them.
“Do I know you?” Hesti made small talk seeing the appearance of Rizwar who was not inferior to Faiq.
“I'm a lawyer Faiq.” Rizwar replied calmly.
Hesti was surprised to hear his answer. Now he turned his gaze to Faiq and Rudi who were walking side by side approaching the two.
“Let's finish it inside. I've invited some relatives of your late father.” Faiq leisurely walked away from the three to the house whose door was wide open because he saw two cars parked in the yard.
“Assalamu’alaikum.” Faiq salutes the residents of the house.
Surprise adorned the face of the Goddess seeing her handsome daughter-in-law already in front of them. Halfway through this Thamrin his sister-in-law had told him, that they would be the arrival of guests from the city. Andre and his sister Yuni, who happened to be visiting his mother's house, were also preparing to hear his uncle's words.
“Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.” Those who were in the room answered the greetings in a compact manner.
“Please enter, son Faiq and his friends.” Thamrin gave a big smile welcoming her son-in-law.
“Thank you sir.” Faiq looked at Rizwar and Rudi who were standing behind him, and gestured to follow in his footsteps.
They sat together in the large living room. From the side of the family, everyone was present, including Yuni's husband named Agus and Andre's wife, Rina. They were curious to hear the story of their in-laws saying that Faiq and Nesti would continue their marriage, because Faiq also liked Hesti.
Especially considering Faiq who comes from a rich family, Dewi will try to maintain the marriage of her son and legalize the marriage.
“Pardon our arrival at the home of the late family of Mr. Bambang we had planned a week ago.” Rizwar started to open his voice. “I represent a client on behalf of Faiq Al Fareza wants to return Miss Vesti to her extended family.”
Hesti choked, he looked at Faiq's face that was focused on hearing Rizwar's words. He did not expect it at all, Faiq returned it to the extended family without compromising first. For a moment his reflection that had soared high, crashed into the bottom of the broken void.
“Does son Faiq not want to legalize this marriage. In Islam men who have more than one wife it does not matter.” Thamrin began to interrupt Rizwar's words.
“I'm sorry, sir.” Rizwar immediately cut off Thamrin's speech, “Indeed in Islamic law the polygamous man was allowed. But my client loved his family very much. And he couldn't hurt the wife he loved so much. Plus his wife is now pregnant.”
Thamrin and Dewi are shocked to hear Rizwar recounting Faiq's wife's pregnancy. The two looked questioningly, because Dewi had told Thamrin that Faiq's wife had left home because she did not want to be polygamous. And he's very happy about it. Thus the move of Hesti to become the only mistress of Faiq Al Fareza will soon be realized.
Rizwar took out some files inside the briefcase that they had prepared from the beginning. “We don't have to mince words anymore. Because their marriage agreement has also crossed the agreed limit from the beginning. A wedding that was supposed to be for only 40 days retreated to 80 days counted to date. So in front of his extended family, my client will drop his talc immediately to miss Hesti Handayani.”
The momentary silent atmosphere. No one dared to make a sound. Only their individual minds are at war with unrequited desires, while Faiq and his colleagues felt it was time to let go and give freedom to Nesti who made the household problematic and unresolved until this second.
“What son Faiq really wants to let go of Hesti?” Thamrin tried to break Faiq's strong defences to divorce Hesti. “Isn't son Faiq's wife a widow, isn't a girl better than a widow?”
“I'm sorry, sir. We have no right to judge a human being. I know more about the kindness of my wife than anyone. In front of the extended family of the deceased sir Bambang Sutowo I Faiq Al Fareza dropped a talaq on my wife Hesti Handayani bint the late Bambang Sutowo. And I forbid myself to touch the sister of Hesti Handayani for ever.” Faiq did not want to linger among the Hesti extended family who had wasted his time. He breathed a sigh of relief after saying that sacred sentence.
His family was stunned to hear the words of Faiq who had dropped his talisman. They did not expect Faiq to say that immediately as they tried to buy time.
“I will return to Jakarta because there are still other needs, so Rizwar will take care of it.” Without waiting for the Nesti family to comment, Faiq and Rudi immediately left the Nesti residence.
Hesti and Dewi stared at Faiq's departure, which Rudi followed. They walked quickly towards the car parked in the courtyard. Rizwar's private driver had also been waiting in the car, as Rizwar was still taking care of the dossier with Nesti and his extended family.
After Faiq and Rudi died, Rizwar put the file on the table. “Although the marriage that occurred was only a temporary agreement, but Faiq still gave the rights to his ex-wife. He had bought an apartment in Kalibata as well as a car for Ms. Nesti's mobility. And miss Hesti has seen for herself the car that the Faiq.” brothers gave her Rizwar held out a file Faiq had signed.
“If it is true that Faiq does not love Nesti why did he give all these facilities?” Thamrin did not understand Faiq's way of thinking.
Rizwar sighed. “We've negotiated everything. Faiq simply did not want to be charged later on by the family here, because he was considered an irresponsible man. And here Faiq has made a statement there will be no demands of both parties for the marriage of the series that does not harm any party.”
Hersti was stunned, her hopes of becoming Al Fareza's mistress had run aground. Faiq has dropped talaq on him. He looked at the Goddess with sadness. But he can't blame anyone. This was their commitment from the beginning. And Faiq has fulfilled his promise.
“Faiq just wants to protect his little family.” Rizwar looked at Thamrin who was still fixated on looking at the helplessly silent Nesti. “Please miss Haesti with witnesses to sign all the files I have prepared.”
Hesti's eyes glazed over at the divorce papers on the table. His name and Faiq's name were written, as well as several witnesses from his family. Faiq's signature is clearly printed.
“If one of our parties does not want to sign it?” The goddess tried to hinder Rizwar. Frankly he did not want to let go of Faiq as his son-in-law.
“I as the legal representative of brother Faiq will file a counterclaim, because you have reneged on the initial deal, and framed our client to do this marriage.”
The Goddess and the Nesti looked at each other. They did not expect Faiq to have prepared everything in detail.
With a heavy heart, Hesti signed the file in front of him. His eyes were full of sorrow, but how else. None of this was Faiq's wish.
Rizwar received the file from Hesti and read it carefully. Thamrin and Andre immediately signed all the files given by Rizwar. They both knew it wasn't Faiq's fault, and they accepted it.
“Thank you for the cooperation.” Rizwar quickly cleared all the files. Now he believes in the words of Faiq, only Andre is still sane in dealing with their problems.
The room was silent after Rizwar's departure. Andre knows the grief his brother endured. He breathed heavily.
“Mbak need not be dissolved in sadness. Mas Faiq the man in charge. The proof is that he prepared a house and a vehicle for Westin. If it's another man, it's not necessarily like him.”
Dewi was disappointed to hear Andre's words that did not support him to unite Nesti and Faiq in a legal marriage. And her frustration grew to hear the news of Hani's pregnancy.
