Agenda trial #1 Rania's Story

07.00 WIB - Tigaraksa

This leather sofa in a waiting room of the Tigaraksa Religious Court is my favorite spot to wait for a hearing call. In my hand I had the trial queue number, I happened to get the first number. This morning was still very quiet, only seen cleaning service that then mopped the floor and a security guarding the printing machine queue.

Before long came a long hijab-wearing woman who was holding the number of the queue, her face was confused, her eyes were busy combing the entire room.

“ Excuse Mbak, dapet queue how?”, he asked while glancing at me.

“ First queue Mbak, Mbak to how much ?’, my question is back.

“ I got to eight Mbak. This is the first time I have been to court. After getting my number where to go?”.

“ Assemblies how Mbak?”.

“ This is my first call, but my husband does not want to come he said “.

“ Who's suing Ma'am? If the first call is mediation agenda is as rich as I”, I replied.

“ I sued mbak. My husband does not want to contest the court, he said he did not have money to pay a living iddah & mut’ “, he said lethargic.

“ Sorry Ma'am, can you know why the problem“, I was curious.

“ Husband never egawainin me mbak, his work out of town never come home for months. During that time I only sent 50 thousand money for the needs of a month”, he replied.

“ Loh, is it enough? How many children?, I wonder.

“ Number is mbak, I am the teacher of playgroup salary is not much. My son 1 person is still small “, he replied.

“ Patience yes mbak, hopefully cepet selesei process”.

“ Aamiin. Ma'am who sues?”, he asked back.

“ My husband, he did not come represented by his lawyer “, I replied.

“ If you can know why Mbak?”, ask while shifting the sitting position.

“ Yes it may be greener neighbor grass Mbak, the grass in the field itself has died let dry “, I replied while throwing a meaningful smile.

“ Patience yes Ma'am, just wait for the grass that dies soon green again. Greener than the one next to hahaha “, he replied with a sigh.

“ We are talking about grass yes, oh yes know me Rania “, I said while extending a hand.

“ Yasmin. Greetings Mbak Rania “, welcome him friendly.

Ping

Suddenly my phone rang, it seemed like a message was coming in. Scroll my phone and then a message from an unknown number appears.

“ Bu Rania I lawyer Mr. Ray. Can I meet you in the mediation room at 7:30 ?. We mediate first before entering the courtroom Yes Bu “

I thought Ray wouldn't be coming today. It is free to enter the mediation room if there is no meeting with the disputing parties. A legal process that tries to reconcile and maintain household values is just a formality.

Scroll my watch, the time has shown at 07.25 WIB. Means in 5 minutes I have to get into the mediation room.

“ Ms. Rania, let's go into the mediation room “, said a large tall man who just came out of the room POSBAKUM (Law Assistance Post).

I did not answer his invitation, I threw a smile while saying goodbye to Yasmin who was sitting next to me. We walked into the mediation room we went to last week.

“ Morning Mr Syarief, can start mediation not ?”, ask the lawyer while greeting the mediator who is sitting behind his desk.

“ Morning Mr David, please enter “, he replied.

I just dropped myself on the mediator-provided chair without speaking a word. I let the lawyer speak first, I waited for what he would say about me.

“ Still out of town Mr Ray? Long time his service? “, said the mediator while reading the details of the file given by Mr. David.

“ Yes Sir, he did give up everything to completion. The rights to Ms. Rania are already written there. We hope the trial process can take place quickly”, he replied.

“ Very hasty Mr Ray wants a divorce? What is it ?”, he asked while smiling at the lawyer.

“ Let the business of Mr. Ray with Bu Rania Cepet be resolved sir, pity Bu Rania far come to Tigaraksa leave children “, he replied.

“ Lawsuit for Bu Rania what did he say? What's the household problem?”.

“ Continuous chat has been a long time, lack of communication and has not been in contact with husband and wife Pak “, he replied.

“ Oh that's it. Do you know how many children they have? “, ask him back.

“ Son 3 people Sir. The big one 7 years, middle 6 years, small 3 months Pak “, replied the lawyer back.

“ Oh much well. His age is also. How can yah bickcok, no husband and wife relationship but his son 3 people”.

I smiled at the words of the mediator.I threw my gaze at the lawyer who was thinking hard to answer the question just now.

“ Ms Rania, about the problem that occurred in the household Mother and Mr Ray what?”, asked the mediator to me.

“ Standard is Sir. As like a couple must have a mismatch, dislike, but year after year we continue to pass equally”, I replied diplomatically.

“ Example does it fit how is Mom? For example, if I am the same wife does not fit the TV show. My wife wants to watch drakor, I want to watch football. Sometimes my wife says if the channel is replaced, until I am not prepared to eat even”.

“ Yes more or less like that Sir. Differences are commonly experienced by couples, but that does not mean there is no solution “, I replied.

“ How long has Mr Ray been away from home Bu?”, he asked again.

“ Months March she talak me. Exactly after the third child was born, she went to Bandung until this time “.

“ According to Mother there is still no solution for your wedding?”.

“ Still Sir, considering my son three women, still need the figure of his father. I still struggle to defend if it is given a chance “.

“ Miris yes. Out there desperately want to be given offspring, until the marriage ends at the green table because his wife is not blessed with children. This one that had three children ended up in court. I do not think that I read the divorce case “, said the mediator while shaking his head.

“ Mr. Ray filed one talak sir, who knows if they are still paired they can still unite “, as big as Mr. David.

“ Yes do not need divorce if so, if still love mahrejuk again. Unless there is something else yes Bu “, his smile while looking at me meaningfully.

“ I'm sure this is the best decision of my client for his household Sir. Hopefully in the future will always get along for the sake of his three daughters “, said Mr. David.

“ Ms. Rania, Mr. Ray insisted on parting she said. Now only a decision from Mother, whether to accept divorce or not. If the mother refuses the divorce, the mother can file an objection and give a strong reason for the judge to reject the petitioner's lawsuit. But if the judge granted his claim, I would get nothing”.

“ Then I lose my rights and my son dong Pak?”, ask.

“ Right Bu. Therefore if the mother demands the right of iddah, mut’ah and the right of the child then the mother must accept a divorce lawsuit from Mr. Rayendra.

I let out my sigh, it was very problematic to refuse or accept Ray's lawsuit. The faces of my three daughters were immediately shadowed. The sweet memories of our babysitting our daughter vividly recalled how Ray loved Kila and Kica. Ray is their first love, protector, and comforter. Ray's grasp and embrace are things that children always miss right now, what it would be if all of that was gone because I gave up on maintaining my marriage.

“ Ms Rania, how? Mother's answer what ?”, asked the mediator to break my daydream.

“ I received Rayendra's divorce suit. Honestly, I still want to maintain the household, but I love my children more. I will not let Ray zolimi the children, I will demand their right “, I replied in a trembling voice.

“ Good Mom, that's what it's supposed to do. Someday the children will see who of his parents is fighting “.

The mediator typed the answer I had just thrown, then he told us to wait for the call from the courtroom. I still can't believe the decision I made, but I can't give up. There are rights for my three children that I must defend. After this I will fight Rayendra's lawsuit in front of the judge. I don't know what kind of attack Ray launched on me, but I'm ready to face all the charges. The faces of my three children are getting stronger in memory, they do not know that from today his parents are fighting to bring each other down.
