The Return of the Beloved
Part 28's. Apologizing and Asking for Help

After his investigation failed with the fikran finally Itnas decided to investigate himself how the real Yudha. From the investigation he conducted himself he was able to conclude that Yudha was a female player and drug dealer at once. Itnas decides to divorce Yudha before reporting to the police station.

However, it seems that the decision had to be postponed first when Thalita approached his residence and asked Itnas to help Thalita to escape Yudha and take care of their divorce papers. Thalita told Itnas that she had given up on her household because it was not happiness she could get but rather daily torment. For him it's okay if he is tormented but what he fears Yudha will also harm the baby in the womb.

"Sir, I'm sorry that I have been present in Ma'am's household life, and Thalita please help Thalita to escape from Mas Yudha. Thalita wants a divorce from Mbak because he is not strong enough to face his cruel and arrogant attitude every day." That's how Thalita told Itnas that day.

"Are you sure Thalita?"

"I'm sure Ma'am because actually I already know that Mas Yudha doesn't love me anymore. At first I thought he accepted me because of this child in my womb, but it turned out that I was wrong he accepted me just because he wanted revenge and hurt me for having dared to connect with Mas Juno. Although I don't know what the connection is between the two but that's the reason for her anger whenever it torments me. For that starting today I return Mas Yudha completely to Ma'am. May my decision restore the happiness of Ma'am's household with Mas Yudha."

"You are wrong Thalita whether or not you exist in our household makes no difference" Itnas said.

"Well, if your resolve is complete I will help you with your divorce papers and will send them to your address later, may I know where you will live after this?"

"After this time I will go home to my hometown Mbak's address, Mbak can send the letter later to this address and the fee will be later I will transfer to Ma'am's account."

"Don't think about the cost problem let me take care of everything you just take care of it" said Itnas because he felt satisfied with Thalita's life. He knew that woman had suffered so much all along.

"What about your child's life?" ask Itnas further.

"Let my mother grow up on her own, it's better that this boy has no father than he has a father but can hurt his life."

"Yes, Mbak understands that your life in the village will be happy! And you found a soul mate who loved you and your son."

"Amen. Thank you, Ma'am, then I'll take care of you!"

"Eh wait Thalita this for you and your child yes, hopefully can ease the burden of your life," said Itnas while thrusting a pile of money in his hands. actually Thalita really does not want to accept it, he said, but anyway he needed the money at least with the money he could open a business in the village to meet the needs of his daily life. He was forced to accept Itnas' gift by promising in his heart that if he had succeeded he would return the money to Itnas.

"Thank you Ma'am, may God return your kindness later."

Itnas just nodded.

After Thalita left Itnas contemplated his own fate. It turns out that his fate is still mending rather than the fate of Thalita. Yudha was never willing to touch him for whatever reason but at least he was never tortured by Yudha. While Talita has been made pregnant even tortured inner birth.

After saying goodbye to Itnas, Thalita went to the village, to her aunt's house. She deliberately did not want to go to her father's house because she did not want to meet her stepmother who would ask questions about her pregnancy.

His presence in the hometown was welcomed by his aunt and younger cousin, Fadil.

"You're pregnant, where's your husband?" asked aunt. Aunty and Fadil knew that Thalita was married because the guardian at that time was Fadil because his sister did not want to be a guardian because she was not paid.

"It's Bik but soon we'll be divorced" replied Thalita flatly.

"Divorce? In a pregnancy like that?"

"Yes Bik Thalita is no longer strong because he likes to beat and torture Thalita every day."

Hearing Thalita's words aunty immediately hugged her husband's niece while crying. "If that's what's best for you, do it!" said his aunt.

Thalita was not reluctant to go to the kitchen even though she was pregnant. He was so eager to manage his stall and hoped that one day his stall would develop into a decent eating place.

Fervent effort has finally paid off. Because close to the stall factory is growing rapidly. Not only shopping for basic necessities there the employees at the factory also often eat breakfast or lunch there. A diverse and delicious menu and affordable prices make the stall become famous among the workers around the place.

After up to three months the development of the stall increased rapidly. Now Thalita has built his stall into two parts. The first part becomes a depot while the building next to it is used to sell basic goods.

"Alhamdulillah this is your sustenance dear and you are the mother's reinforcement." Talk while stroking his stomach.

"Now the mother just save to return the money aunty Itnas and om Juno," he continued.

"Sister!" call Fadil from the outside.

"What's wrong Fa?"

"Do you know how much our trading day is?" Thalita.

"This is Kak" he said while showing Thalita a wad of money.

"Aaaa, a lot of Fa" he said with sparkling eyes.

"If every day is like that I can be fast

return the capital and give it to Mbak Itnas."

"So Kak may continue smoothly our business so that the capital quickly returns."

"Yes Fa, let God always provide sustenance to all of us."

"Yes, amen."

But what about my divorce papers yes, has it been taken care of by Mbak Itnas?

"What are you thinking about?" asked Fadil who saw Thalita suddenly contemplated and became sad.

"Ah no Sister just thinking about my divorce with Mas Yudha whether it has been taken care of by Mbak Itnas because brother will ask her to help take care of everything."

"Maybe Kak is just his Itnas Mbak may not have time to come here. Why don't you try calling?"

"Ah that's her sister forgot to ask her phone number. If tomorrow Mbak Itnas has not been here also the day after brother to the city huh?"

"Yes Brother."
