THE DESTRUCTION OF LOYALTY
GO HARD TO ENDURE THE PAIN

This morning Devita was about to go to the hospital, suddenly there was a call that needed her help. He walks towards his car, as he opens the car door he sees Ayu coming out of Erick's house while holding Mikayla, who becomes Devita's center of attention is a large suitcase that Ayu drags using her left hand. Devita undoes her intention, she walks over to Ayu.

Yep.. Last night Erick and Ayu had officially parted ways. Erick dropped three talaqs on Ayu until their marriage died which they did in series. Although Erick does not ask him to leave the house, Ayu knows enough to leave the house, especially there is no bond between them.

" Where is Ayu going?" Devita looked at Ayu and Mikayla alternately.

" I want to go home Devi." Sahut Ayu's.

" Home? Why not just stay here? I want to see Mikayla every day." Devita.

" No, I've suffered enough all this time. Now it's time for me to be happy, especially that Erick and I are separated. You can play at my house if you miss Mikayla. Ask Erick to take you there." Ayu.

" I'm sorry Ma'am, without me realizing I've separated the three of you." Devita said guiltily.

" You're innocent, it's God's destiny that I have to live." Sahut Ayu's.

" Sir, before you go I want to know about your feelings, do you still love Erick's brother?" Devita asked looking at Ayu with a probing look. If Ayu's answer is yes, then Devita intends to step down. Although he loves Erick, he is not that bad and has to separate a child as small as Mikayla from her father.

" It used to... " Sahut Ayu's.

" I used to love Erick so much that whatever I did for Erick. But once I knew Erick's true feelings for me, those feelings slowly faded away Vi. Until Jia forced her to marry me, my feelings became more and more bland. Especially since our marriage she doesn't care about me anymore. He suddenly thought of me as a stranger. It feels like there's no difference between there being him and there being none. Maybe this farewell is best for both of us." Clearly Ayu let out her heart.

" If you still have a taste, why don't you keep this marriage? I'll back off if you want to do that. Moreover, I haven't given an answer to Erick's brother."

Ayu smiled wryly at Devita's words.

" Something forced will not end either Vi, I've experienced it before. I'm going to find my own happiness, certainly not here. I pinned Erick on you, he looks so in love with you. You'll be happy together." Ayu.

Devita exhaled slowly, she could not force her will on Ayu.

" Alright I can understand how you feel, Ma'am, but after this are you going to let me see Mikayla? I already love him." Devira stroked Mikayla's cheek gently.

" Of course, you're going to marry Erick that means you're also her mother. You're the one who took care of her when I wasn't with her. You can meet your daughter anytime." Sahut Ayu with a smile.

Devita could not bear to hurt Ayu's heart by taking Erick from her.

" Thank you Ma'am, may you have happiness. You are a good person." Devita.

" You don't know Devita, I was once happy above the suffering of others. Maybe this is the punishment God has sent down for me. I'm sorry Jia, I sinned against you." Say Ayu in heart.

" All right, I'll go first." Pamit Ayu's.

" Brave heart." Devita kissed Mikayla's cheek many times.

Mikayla touching her face made Devita's heart trenchant.

" How can this boy live without his father. I think I should talk to Erick's brother." Inner Devita.

Devita enters Erick's house, feeling she has to talk to him about this.

" Brother Erick." Call Devita half-cry.

" What a darling."

Cess...

" Oh my God... How am I not fascinated by Erick's brother? He looks handsome and charming." Inner Devita.

" What's the matter, honey?" Erick asked with a sweet smile looking at Devita disperse Devita's daydream.

" Sister, why don't you prevent Ayu's departure?" Tanya Devita approached Erick.

" He wants to get out of here himself." Sahut Erick relax.

" He brought Mikayla Brother." Devita.

" He's his mother, he should've brought his daughter." Erick put his phone on the table. He looked at Devita who was standing in front of him.

" I know, but it would be nice if you raised her together, right? Pursue and ask Mbak Ayu to stay here Brother!" Devita's Word.

" What if I go after Ayu you want to marry me?" Erick smiled as he looked at Devita.

Devita was silent, she was trying to think how good it was.

" Otherwise, let Ayu and Mikayla go. Ayu has been suffering with me for a long time, maybe it's time for her to seek her own happiness." Erick.

" Yes yes I want to, I want to marry you which is important not to make Ayu and Mikayla leave here." Devita.

" Okay, keep your word. I'll ask Ayu to stay. But if he doesn't want to, don't force him. We have to respect his decision." Erick.

" At least we tried, brother." Devita Sahut.

" Okay, after this prepare yourself! I'm gonna propose to you tonight. The sooner the better, I won't until you change your mind." Erick moved from the couch to the front door.

Erick runs towards the gate of his house where Ayu is still standing there waiting for a taxi to drive him home.

" Ayu."

Ayu looked back, she looked at Erick who was half-running towards her. Arriving in front of Ayu instead of saying something, Erick instead looked at Devita who was standing at the door of her house. Devita smiled nodding her head.

" Ayu, don't go! Stay with us. We'll take care of Mikay together." Erick.

" Do you have the heart to see me suffer seeing you and Devita happy?" Ayu wanted to know Erick's reaction to his words.

" Sorry! It's Devita's request, actually."

Ayu smiled wryly, she had guessed before. Her heart grew more and more heartbroken to see the man she loved doing anything for the woman she loved. Ayu grew more determined with her decision.

" Tell him I don't want to. Give me the freedom to seek my happiness. I'm waiting for your wedding invitations, I'll definitely come give my blessing. I'm gone, my cab's coming." Ayu said along with a taxi stopping in front of her.

" Okay, heart. Thank you for giving Devita for me." Erick said in a nod of his head by Ayu.

Ayu got into the taxi feeling devastated. He looked at Erick with a sad look, the taxi started to drive away from Erick's house. Erick was still standing on the side of the road as if he was letting go happily. Ayu becomes convinced that she and Mikayla have no meaning at all in Erick's life. Erick did not say hello or give a farewell kiss to his flesh and blood.

Ayu feels stupid if she still wants to keep a guy like Erick. No tears just dripped on Ayu's cheeks. Going hard to survive is also painful. That's what Ayu feels right now. He hopes that one day he will find happiness.
