And this is where the two of us are now sitting in the back row where I had gathered this morning with all my family members, minus Mas Anton, Madam Najwa and also Grandma.


Almost ten minutes passed and we were still silent, with no one to start this conversation. Though there is no one here anymore, just the two of us, but still Bang Kholil at home.


Until suddenly without me expecting it he immediately stood up and sat crouching before me, precisely below me, really his actions made me surprised and amused, never once had he acted this far before, he said, where did he learn how to seduce women?


Isn't this the category of action for a man who will seduce a woman of his puja, he said, then in the sodorkan a beautiful flower and not left behind a small box whose contents are definitely a beautiful first ring.


It seemed like this scene was nothing romantic-romantic, and I knew a Kholil very well.he was a slightly stiff, but loving man. His character is hard but treats me gently. He didn't talk much to others, but when we were alone he revealed all his heart. But it was yesterday before Erika was born and was in our midst.


And behold! He's trying to seduce me, let's see first what he'll say after this. Or let me guess for sure he just said sorry and sorry. What to say.


" An, Brother, I'm sorry. Really sorry Brother, Brother is not aware when doing it, please forgive dear brother.. He promised not to hurt or hurt you again. And about that little thing you threw away. Please believe in my dear brother... Brother is very affectionate and in love with you, please do not leave dear brother, "She said so softly with her voice that wet hoarse even I can guess if at this time she was crying.


I love him very much, love him. He is a loving man, attentive to all his family members, especially to his own wife, only one shortcoming he is very emotional if it concerns his crying son.


And the woman who is fortunate to be his wife must have patience as wide as the ocean. And I am not that perfect woman who has the patience and strength that others have. I admit I am a person who gives up easily, even though I really like challenges.


" Yes, I'm sorry you bang. Don't do that again, bahakn to anyone." I could see his relieved face also sparkling.


" Thank you dear. Thank you so much for sorry, brother. Brother will try not to do that again, let's go back home..."


" Wait Bang! I'm not done talking, don't take the wrong step. I'm sorry, brother, but that doesn't mean I want to go back home with you. I'm still very traumatized to be back in that house!" As I cut her off, I hope she understands what I mean.


" What do you mean, baby? Oh, you still want to live here with your family? You don't mind at all, you'll wait until you're ready to go back to town, you'll pick me up." He concluded it himself.


I shook slowly, as he kept looking at me asking for answers." That's not it!"


" didn't you? Then what do you want?! The point is you don't want to go back to my parents' house? All righty! Then soon you'll find a new home for our little family, we'll stay all three." The voice that turns out still does not understand also where my speech direction.


" I'm sorry if Anna had to say this. But we better get here, Bang. If this relationship continues to be forced we will both be hurt, I am not a patient person. And please take care of our divorce papers, please,,,"


" Wait! A divorce? You want us to get a divorce? Not gil4! I don't want to divorce you, baby.. Please take back your words!" His words cut me off.


" I'm sorry, but it's the best decision for both of us. This marriage can not be continued Bang, at any time you can hurt me again, and I do not want it to happen again, please appreciate my decision. And one more thing, I asked Erika's custody to fall into my hands, because she still needs it from me, that's all. I won't ask for your treasure even a penny, but I won't forbid you from meeting Erika either." I said at length.


But Bang Kholil continued to reject what had become my decision, until before long I was like hearing a noise from inside the house. Spontaneously I stood up and walked forward in following Bang Kholil behind me.


" uh! Behind you apparently! Here you bang-satt!! How dare you hurt my sister huh!" Jerk Mas Anton who suddenly hit the wajha Bang Kholil to make it fall to the floor.


" Have it stopped! Please release Bang Kholil!!" I shouted at him, even everyone helped to break up and keep Mas Anton away from Bang Kholil, until soon they succeeded.


" I'm sorry Ton, I'm really sorry about you, everyone. But I'm..."


" Silence you! Lots of bacoottt!!"


Mas Anton will again attack Bang Kholil but I immediately block standing between them. " If Mas Anton hits him back I'll go with him!" Threatening, pretending.


" You've gone gil4 to go with him again huh! Where is your pride as a woman who has been hurt by this man." Sarkas Mas Anton who was looking at me sharply also to Banng Kholil.


This is the ugly nature of this Masku, if anyone hurts him or his family members he must hate that person very much. Even if the person is his own friend. Even if he only heard the story without knowing clearly what the real events were, he would still believe it. Yes, he is easily incited by people's speech.


After being advised by the parents, finally Mas Anton can calm down. And is currently sitting in the back being accompanied by his wife. It turns out that Mas Anton came with Madam Najwa and also Grandma.


After the drama of the affair between Mas Anton and Bang Kholil subsided, finally all fell silent again. I have also said my decision to everyone, that is what makes the atmosphere so quiet like this, all in the mind of each.


Until shortly, my father-in-law spoke up. " Alright Mr. Zainal, we think we have enough of our silahturahmi to Mr.'s house. Once again we and our family say thousands of words of apology to the big family of Mr. all especially Nak Anna who we love very much with his decision. I think I heard wrong, but it turns out this is the reality, how else we would not want to be willing to accept the decision from Nak Anna, because it is our son who is guilty. Then we'll excuse you, and then we'll leave everything to the kids. Assalamualaikum..." Pamit Father-in-law at length.


The glimpse of Bang Kholil who had just ducked, I actually felt very sorry for him, his face became battered like that because of the work of Mas Anton. But this has been my decision, I have to accept all of this..


He didn't even look at me at all, or say a word to me. It's just that I saw him give a lot of kisses on the face of his daughter who was in Grandma's cradle.


We all drove them to the front of the house. At first I was not aware, it turned out that Bang Kholil approached me who was now holding Erika..


" I Kholil Ahmad Jafar gave you three Anna Anisa talak, may you be happy with your decision, is that not your wish? I've fulfilled good-bye, dear well Mother yes..I'll come see you." His whisper was soft in my ear, not forgetting to kiss his daughter, but maybe everyone could hear him too..


Finally everything just got here, even our marriage age has not even been five years.. Now I better look to my future, and focus on taking care of and raising Erika, even by myself...


I chose to divorce not because I don't love you anymore Bang, but because I prefer to be happy without you...


Yes anyone can change, me or you just have to accept the fact that this self is no longer the same as it used to be..
