The Return of the First Wife
Chapter 42 - Choosing to Go

...༻⌘༺...

Altesa was relieved to have Wildan agree to sign the divorce papers. It flashed through his mind regarding all the inheritance of the House of Dewangga that was still in Wildan's hands.

The meditation was done by Altesa long enough. He was sitting in the park trying to find the best decision. Considering he already promised to Wildan. That Altesa wouldn't find out the man's secret any further.

"Yes God... If Wildan did something really bad, I'm sure he'd get his karma. I'll let you punish him in Your way" murmured Altesa. Look up. Talk to his God.

Altesa has plans to go out of town with Azka. This time he wanted to start a new life. Altesa is also determined to raise money in order to repay the debt and buy Revan's house.

Before the divorce trial took place, Altesa wanted to speak nicely to Azka. So that his son would stay with him.

Azka just got back from school. He and Altesa walked while holding hands.

Altesa takes Azka to the park. He did not forget to buy Azka a peanut snack.

"The rice is crunchy" Azka said. He just finished chewing the beans and swallowed them.

Altesa. He's ready to talk.

"Aza... Mommy wants to tell you that Mommy and Papah will be separated," said Altesa carefully.

Azka. The wrapper contained the beans he was holding even came off. "Why, Mother? Doesn't Papah want to come back with us?" respond with eyes that have shimmered will clear liquid.

"Sorry Mother, dear... The same Mother Papah will never be able to unite. Mommy's sure you'll understand when you grow up." Altesa immediately hugged Azka. I hope his son is not sad.

Azka crying. An innocent child seems to be sad when he hears his father and mother separated. "At least do it for me, Mother.." whine Azka.

"Mother has tried. But it can't. Your heart is not that strong. Mother hope you can understand," said Altesa while gently rubbing Azka's head.

Slowly Altesa took off his embrace. Then looked at Azka seriously.

"Mother wants to ask Azka. If you have to choose, Azka wants to stay with Mother or the same Papah?" ask Altesa.

Azka stopped crying. He's pensive. He seems to be thinking well.

Altesa. "Mother doesn't know, baby. That's Papah's choice" he replied.

"Then I want to be with Mommy. Papah is always busy. If Mother is always there for me. Don't get sick again, Mother." said Azka. He held on tightly to Altesa.

"Thank you, Honey. Mother promised to try to be a good parent to Azka," said Altesa. She's full.

With Azka's approval, Altesa would have no more trouble getting custody.

A few days late. The divorce trial was finally held. Altesa and Wildan are officially divorced. The custody even fell into the hands of Altesa.

Although not entirely successful, at least Altesa's plan to seize Azka was a great success. For a mother, a child is the main thing.

Altesa's tightness decreases when his marriage bond ends. Now he and Azka just came out of the courtroom. Along with that, Wildan called out. The man was about to speak to Altesa.

"Rik, I'll leave Azka for a while, yes" said Altesa who was immediately answered with a nod by Rika. He immediately spoke to Wildan with four eyes. In a place far from the crowd.

"What's wrong?" ask Altesa.

"I'm sorry and thank you. You seem to be a good woman. I am so sorry that I did bad to you. And Azka deserves to be with you" Wildan said softly.

"I hope you don't show up in front of me again. So it's likely that you won't meet Azka for quite a long time" Altesa replied seriously.

Wildan's eyes were rounded. "Why? He's my son too, Al!" the law that does not accept.

"I knew. Let's just say it's a debt you have to pay me. You better take good care of Erma. I heard he was hospitalized." Altesa immediately moved. She made that sentence her last words to her ex-husband.

"Altesas! Hear me! Why you..." Wildan tried to call. But Altesa even took his step. Wildan could do nothing about Altesa's decision.

Altesa's last choice after the divorce was to leave. He wants Azka to move out of town. Altesa deliberately did not tell anyone about his disappearance. The woman simply wrote a letter left in the apartment.

Everything was kept secret Altesa because he did not want to trouble others anymore. Be it Rika, Beno, even the two brothers Revan and Stevan.

The first person to read Altesa's letter was Stevan. Because he just bought one of the apartment units on the same floor as Altesa. But baby, the woman has gone. Stevan immediately informed everyone of Altesa's departure.
