The next day in front of the court office, Tian got off his new black car with a lawyer named Brian.
Finally, after now he got up by working as CEO for 5 months more, and has a catfish farm that has been harvested twice, Tian managed to pay off all his debts. Including on his debt to Tegar as well.
Not until there, he also has savings that he thinks are enough to be able to marry Nissa. Hire the services of a lawyer and buy a better car than before.
Tian recalled the words of Juna first, who said his car was ugly. So he bought the car so that later Juna would no longer say Tian's car was ugly.
Especially if later he managed to become the new Papi Juna. Surely, Tian also had to compensate for the perfect Nissa. Even though the woman never demanded anything from him.
"Give me your car, Mas?" sindir Fira cynical.
He had just gotten off the taxi then noticed Tian's shiny-looking car. She also looked at the man who was soon to be her ex-husband from bottom to top.
Tian wears a short-sleeved white shirt and black jeans. Dress simple. But for some reason, Fira saw the aura of Tian's good looks growing. In addition, Tian also seemed more contained than the old skinny when she was her husband.
'Is it just my feeling, Mas Tian is much more handsome now?' inner Fira.
"Yes." Yeah." Tian nodded. The look of his eyes fell on Fira's stomach and his eyes were rounded. "Cock your stomach flat, Fir? Have you given birth?" tanya Tian who did not know anything.
Maybe the last time they met was when Fira left home. However, Tian also often visited Nurul's house just to leave money for Fira. Cost to his son.
However, he himself had never met Fira. Because when he came to visit, Nurul always said that Fira was not at home.
"I miscarried," Fira replied briefly then stepped in.
"Miscarriage? How can? When?" Tian stepped quickly following Fira. They entered the court office together.
"When she was 7 months old."
"7 months?" Tian's forehead flinched. "But yesterday - yesterday when I went to Mama Nurul's house .. she said your content was healthy. And those 7 months are big, Fir."
"That's Mama's lying. So that I don't think. What is it, talking about children? It's not important to know. We're getting a divorce today." Fira sat in a chair in front of the judge.
There were already quite a few people present and Fira also brought a lawyer beside her. A short-haired woman.
"It doesn't matter what you say?" Next to his eyebrows raised. "The kid's important, Fir. He's my flesh and blood. You should have said you miscarried." Both of Tian's eyes were watery, his face also looked sad.
"So I told you, '" said Fira.
"It should say the day you miscarried, Fir."
"Yes, Mas. Ribet. What matters is that I tell you now!" Fira looked in annoyance at Tian who was standing in front of her.
"Keep, where did you bury our son?"
"I don't know." Fira shook his head lazily.
"Do you not know?"
"The one who takes care of my baby is a shaman, so I leave it to him and I don't know anything."
"What shaman? How about to shaman? Why not go to the hospital?"
"It was an emergency at the time. Sit down, Mom!" Fira pushed Tian's body away. He also pointed to an empty seat that was next to Brian's lawyer. He looked irritated at Tian who had since discussed the matter of the child. Shame is also heard by those around.
"But the time of the grave of your own child you don't know. Suppose the shaman was directly disposed of without being buried how, Fir?" All of a sudden Tian's body tensed up. He could not imagine how much heartache this would be if the child was thrown out somewhere, then there were ferocious beasts eating it.
"Let it go, anyway? Very ribet!" sentak Fira was angry.
"Oh God, Fir. You really do, huh? He is also my son. If you die, you should have told me. Wicked you, Fir!" Tian melted tears wetted the cheeks. He also touched his chest that was suddenly pulsing pain.
Fira cut her lips, her face turned the other way. He did not care about Tian's grief at all. To him, that child was an unlucky carrier, just like Tian.
Brian's lawyer approached Tian. He rubbed the man's back and took him to the chair. "Patient, yes, sir."
'What a shame on your fate, son. O God forgive me for failing to be a husband and father, inner Tian cried.
"Is everything ready?" ask the judge who has been sitting in front of them. Tian quickly wiped his tears, then sat down next to the lawyer. "Can we start the divorce hearing now?"
"Can, sir." Who answered Brian's lawyer.
