“ Hello Sir, how was the trial? Replik the contents are in accordance with what I wrote?”, I asked on a phone call with Mr David Saragih.
“ Current hearing Sir. The replicas I gave to the judge panel were chronological about the disharmony and dissatisfaction of the Father during the household . I wrote that the respondent never wanted to serve the husband, reluctant to cook favorite foods and not close to the family Bapak”, he replied.
“ Good, then you have denied that in our household there is no third person right?”.
“ Yes Sir, I wrote that the woman accused is only a colleague and never had a special relationship with Bapak”.
“ Then what about the amount of the living? I don't want to spend a penny on Mut’ah and Iddah yes Sir. Because Rania has got money from take over home”, I replied annoyed.
“ Already Sir. I detailed between the income and expenditure of the Father, I think the judges will also reject the request of the applicant”.
“ Bu Rania seems to be assisted by lawyers, sir? Everything written in the answer is very detailed because”, he continued.
“ Yes, he is not alone. You must be able to defeat Rania, especially for the amount of living he submitted”.
“ For the next week of the agenda Duplik yes Sir, it is your turn to dispute all the claims that you accuse in Replik just now. You just prepare the documents for the Provenance agenda, do not forget to bring witnesses to appear at the trial 2 more weeks”, he said.
“ Witness can anyone right?”, I ask anxiously.
“ Preferred family sir, because the family is the closest person so that the testimony is considered valid”.
“ I tried my mother, I happen to want to go to her house today”.
“ Good Mr. Ray, if there is an update later I will notify. Thank you”, the cap ends our conversation.
Finally there was a little relief from hearing the information conveyed by Mr. Saragih just now, after two days my body felt crushed because of being beaten by Dion in his office. Dion's insolent, the man I've believed stabbed me in the back for years, I've worked with him, but all I've found is betrayal. It's only natural that if I take revenge by sending terror to Nadine, her husband's foul deeds are more shameful than my actions to Rania.
I stepped on my car's gas pedal deeper so that my car was speeding towards the Ciawi toll gate. I happen to have to see my mother, and I will ask her to be a witness at the trial. Scroll over a parcel lying next to me, a dress and cake that Renata bought for my mother. I'm sure Renata can definitely grab her heart, the woman who's my wife is now amazing. There is no giving up on taking my family's attention, her tenacity and sincerity will surely bear sweet fruit one day.
PINGING
My wife
“ Mas, have you reached Mama's house yet? Your head still hurts?”, don't it,
A short message from my wife appeared on my phone screen.
“ In a moment, I just exited the toll gate. Again stop at red light”.
“ Be careful yes. Later if Mama about your head how?”.
“ Easy, I said a small accident”, I answered.
“ Ok. Salamin to my mother. Love you “.
Tin Tiiiiiin
The sound of the car horn suddenly shocked me when I replied to Renata's message. I moved the gear lever to D and stepped on the gas pedal while driving towards Bogor. I deliberately visited Mama on Wednesday so that there was no need to meet with Radit or Mas Doni. Their indifferent attitude towards me still irritates me, I better visit my mother when they are all absent, my inner self.

“ Assalamualaikum, Maaa….Nana...”, I said while looking for my mother and sister in the house. The parcel from Renata I accidentally kept on the living room table.
“ Waalaikumsalam, you Ray. Tumben came today gini”, replied my mother from the moment she came out of her room.
“ Yes Ma, again on leave. What's Ma?” saying, reply me while kissing my mother's hand.
“ Good Ray. Why your face?”, he asked while watching my bruised right temple.
“ Astagfirullah, be careful Ray”, he said as he touched my head slowly.
“ Ma, Ray apologized about the incident at the hotel the other day. Sorry if you make Mama uncomfortable”, I said apologizing while pulling my mother into her room.
“ Mama is not talking about it Ray. Mama's head hurts if you discuss that again”.
“ Ma, I'm the same Rania is done. I also deserve to be happy Ma”.
“ It's up to you Ray. Everything has happened, Mama can let alone”, he replied with a sad look.
“ Mama later please help Ray yes, so witnesses in court “, I asked while parsing him.
“ Witness? In court? Mama wouldn't want it to be Ray. Your household is not Mama”'s business, he replied while glaring.
“ Ma please Ray, this is all for the sake of the kids too. Ray has missed Kila and Kica “, I replied.
“ You if miss ya meet them dong, take care of your own child. Your child is three tablets now, not even taking care of people's children!!!”, he snapped.
“ I always transfer for the kids anyway, only I can't see them before the trial is over. We are still clashing at the green table, the time suddenly met so aja”, my excuse.
“ No equal trial affairs, children need your attention Ray. The money you transfer every month means nothing to them, your presence means much more than material”.
“ I tried to contact you, but Rania is not cooperative. Rania must have limited my communication to children. He has a strategy to take over Ma's children, Rania should I demand that I keep me away from them”.
“ You yourself cooperatively ga same Rania? How are you communicating with your ex-wife? If you haven't apologized to Rania, you're just two poles against Ray”.
“ I have to apologize for what the hell Ma, after all everything has finished”.
PLAKKKK
A hard slap landed on my cheek. The face of the woman in front of me now looks red with anger.
“ You know, because you Mama must bear disgrace. You may be married again where the trial process has not been completed. Mama hasn't handed Rania over to her parents, and now you don't want to apologize to Rania. Where's Mama Ray's face? Should Mama apologize alone with Rania and her mother?”.
“ You and your new wife can hate Rania, but remember one thing Ray. Rania is the mother of your children. If you hurt her, you hurt your children. If you plan to make his life difficult, then you make your three daughters miserable”.
I was silent to my mother's words. My right cheek was still hot for the slap just now. Complete already my suffering after yesterday I was battered.
“ Rania is also not cooperative Ma, she also has a strategy to fallin Ray”, elakku.
“ Who sued the court right you Ray, it's natural that Rania has a strategy against you, that's how it should be right?”.
“ But Rania certainly won't excuse me Ma. I know what Rania looks like.
“ It is up to him to forgive you or not. But you have to be manly admitting that you've been cheating with Renata. You used to gallantly ask Mama to propose to Rania, now Mama asks you to gallantly return Rania back to her mother”.
My head immediately throbbed at my mother's threat, not the support I had, but the burden I had to bear to return Rania to her mother.
“ Okay, we will return Rania when the trial process is complete. Ray promises Ma, Ray will apologize later”.
“ Apologize anyway do not look forward to Ray, you want to until when the hell hurt the feelings of Rania and children. Please Ray, no one knows, if until Mama is called God first, Mama must account for all your actions. Mama has failed to educate you”, he replied with eyes moist.
I bowed while kissing the back of my mother's hand, my mind also hurt all the problems I made. Again I saw my mother crying, but I had no effort to make things better.
“ Ma, Ray promises to fix everything. Everything will be fine for Mama. Ray doesn't want to make Mama cry again, Ray loves Mama. Sorry Ray Ma”, my sobs while hugging my mother's body who began to cry bitterly. Repeatedly he wiped his eyes with his negligee, it was unbearable to see the person I loved hurt.
“ If you love Mama, please don't hurt Mama's granddaughter again. Kila, Kica and Kian are Mama's flesh blood as well, the one who takes care of them the most is her biological mother, Ray. How much do you hate Rania, she is still the mother of your children”.
I was reluctant to answer my mother's words, because I really did not want to apologize to Rania. Surely there will be no words of peace spoken from his mouth, Renata will not want us to make peace even for the sake of children. Never mind, let time answer the continuity of my relationship with Rania. Maybe we should be two poles that reject each other, because in fact since long ago we always crossed until finally our household ended in separation.
