The Tears of Shafira
CHAPTER 35
Essan was stunned and reached out his hand, welcoming the close-knit hands of Shafira. Then, sit in front of him.
He found the woman very attractive and could not believe that she had been treated harshly by Erick and Wulan simultaneously.
In her eyes, Shafira was so soft and sweet that she should not get harsh treatment from her husband. Had he not been married, he would have made her his wife. The profile of the woman was in accordance with what Riyan and Ardan had told her.
“I heard Bu Shafira just recovered from illness how is mom doing now?” essan asked kindly, as the beginning of their conversation.
“As you can see I'm fine!” Shafira answered while putting her smartphone on the table.
“Oh, yes, Mr. Essan, please do you want to order what?” ask Shafira while thrusting a menu book at her interlocutor.
The words that come out of the two are so formal, because indeed they are currently involved, in a relationship of a formal nature.
Essan received it and ordered a late ginger coffee at the waiter, who was immediately delivered to his desk, shortly afterwards.
This is a very challenging coincidence, somehow Wulan reaction if he knew Essan— his best friend, had accompanied the honey, in a divorce case with her husband. I hope Wulan likes it.
Initially, Essan thought that Shafira was not the honey that Wulan had told him. However, as soon as Riyan mentioned her husband's name, she realized that the case was quite serious. He was reluctant to accept a minor case like divorce. He used to handle big and challenging cases. However, once he knew who the woman would be accompanied, he immediately agreed.
“Where did you hear from me, Mr Essan? Is Ardan or Riyan the story?” shafira asked, sipping her coffee.
“Two ... It looks like you are a very familiar person with them!” essan said, sipping his coffee.
Shafira nodded, “Ya!” said.
“I know them well ... I have accompanied Ardan in some cases his company, and I have also accompanied Riyan in his case, with one of his patients!”
“Oh so ... means you are a great lawyer, Mr. Essan! I'm grateful to know you and want to be my companion!”
“Oh, that's normal, actually Ardan is also facing a problem that is not easy, but I was not asked to accompany, because he will not bring his problem to the legal path ... I think he is able and competent to handle it himself.”
“Actually I pity him too. So, what do you think of my case? You have learned it, right?”
“Yes, of course, a lot of similar cases to yours, Mom! But it's easy if you want a divorce. Riyan has already met me and provided some medical proof from him!”
“Oh yes, can I see the proof?” shafira asked curiously, as she had never seen the evidence in person and had only heard it from Riyan.
“Sure!” essan said as he opened his bag and took out a brown map.
“We were supposed to meet with the doctor also today, but he told me that there was a sudden surgery schedule that had to be dealt with!”
Essan held out the map and Shafira saw several photos of her body parts covered in bruises, scratches and other violent wounds. Including the results of the visa about the cause of miscarriage experienced also exists.
There are some results in the form of numbers and only the doctor can understand, it will be explained in the proving stage trial later.
Essan as a lawyer, was a good listener, so he heard the whole problem that Shafira had experienced from the beginning of the meeting with Erik. Then, how did the torture in her marriage occur, until the last problem she faced at this time.
Essan was a little stunned because the story told by Shafira was very opposite to what Wulan had told him. His friend admitted that shafira was the source of problems in their marriage. He was too jealous of Erick's change in attitude towards the woman.
However, it was not Shafira who was the cause, but Wulan himself who did beyond the limits of reasonableness. At that time Wulan told me without giving any evidence to him. Now, Shafira has hard evidence of all the violence she's had from her husband and honeymoon.
Essan assesses how bad the marriage and the promise to keep Shafira done by Erick was said, but he easily betrayed.
Ardan also gave some photos of Shafira as she fainted. Everything he received through chat messages, when the man found Shafira lying in the street. This shows Shafira's truth is brighter than what Wulan said.
After knowing everything, Essan was a little disappointed with Wulan, because her friend said the opposite. He thinks that Wulan actually has an indication to do more evil just to make Shafira part with Erick. It turns out Wulan is so cunning.
“So, how is Wulan's attitude now, after you miscarried, is she much better?” essan asked trying to provoke how Sapphira reacted to Wulan's attitude.
“I myself was surprised, he was so good after I got home from the hospital! I think it's weird, but it looks like he found a way to be safe!”
Essan nodded again, knowing the change was due to Wulan following his advice, to cooperate with Sapphira. She chose to be nice so that her honeymoon would divorce her husband.
“So, it looks like Wulan didn't know that, you filed for this divorce?”
Shafira gave a small laugh then she nodded.
“Of course he doesn't know, he'd be happy to know I'm going to register a divorce, if he knows, how can I take revenge on him?”
“What kind of revenge will you have, Mom? Don't do anything that breaks the law!”
“Ah, yes, of course, I am not the same woman as him, Mr. Essan! But I started it this morning and it was so fun!” Shafira laughed again as she imagined how Wulan would react.
“Oh, yes? What did you do to him?”
“I'm not as bad as him, I happened to accidentally hit the chair he was sitting in and he was drinking, then the water spilled! And I don't know if it turns out that the tea water is still hot, funny, right?”
“Oh, looks like you are so happy Bu!”
“Yes, I was happy when I saw her reaction! Moreover, when I hugged Erick, his face was already reddish, when I had not done anything more....how about I do as he did to Erick in front of me? Actually I myself pity!”
Essan further understood that it turned out that Shafira could not do as bad as Wulan did to him. The bad things he did this morning were all unintentional.
“Then, do you know, what caused Erick's attitude to change to make Wulan jealous?”
“So, I once asked her if she loved me, but she didn't answer!”
“Maybe Erick isn't sure of his own feelings!”
“Yes, it could be so! But no one is 100% sure of his love, right?”
Essan nodded his head, though he himself did not know for sure the answer to love as Shafira had said.
“Alright, Ms. Shafira, we should register this divorce right now, after that let me take care of it, for this registration, you still have to be signed because you are suing.”
“Alright, come!”
The two men and women eventually went to the civil wedding office, after finishing up coffee.
