As he had intended, Marcel came back to Zicka's house. He brought Meyra's favorite big hello kitty doll. He hopes to persuade Zicka and Meyra because he knows Zicka's weakness is Meyra. He wants to persuade Zicka through Meyra. But when he got there, the condition of the house was still the same as this morning, quiet, without a single person.

"Actually where are they? Why isn't the clock coming home yet?" muttered Marcel softly while shaking his butt in the chair on the porch of the house.

Shortly after, a taxi stopped in front of the fence. He saw Zicka and Meyra get off the taxi. Marcel greeted them with a sweet smile. But Zicka and Meyra's reaction was different from her expectations.

Zicka and Meyra are shocked to see Marcel standing in front of his house carrying a huge hello kitty doll.

"Papa?" meyra said with her eyebrows linked.

"Where did you come home this afternoon?" marcel asked curiously as he looked at the two alternately.

"It's none of your business" Zicka replied briefly then immediately grabbed the house keys in the bag and opened the door of the house leaving Marcel outside. Meyra who was still dumb, just silently looked at Marcel.

"Hello baby, here baby! Hugs papa donk, you don't miss the same papa?" Marcel tried to seduce Meyra.

"No, Meyra is not kangen," Meyra replied innocently making Marcel buy her eyes.

Deg ...

Marcel was shocked by Meyra's reply.

"But papa kangen, honey. Look, papa buyin you what? Papa Buyin Meyra doll hello kitty super big. Meyra likes hello kitty?"

"Udah doesn't like it anymore, Pa," Meyra replied briefly, leaving Marcel stunned by her short answer.

After hearing the indifferent answer from his daughter, Marcel growled in annoyance. Then he went into Zicka's room and forced Zicka's hand to face him.

"Awww, loose, Mas! Pain ... " Zicka whimpers as her hand is forcibly pulled by Marcel

"What did you tell Meyra about me, huh? You must have influenced him to hate me, right?" marcel shouted right in front of Zicka.

"Mas, I do hurt your attitude and I hate to remember all your behavior, but I'm not that bad at poisoning my son's innocent mind. Especially to hate you. You should introspect yourself why is your daughter always waiting for your return and hope that your presence does not care about you anymore? It didn't happen all of a sudden, but there's a cause and it's on you instead of blaming me" Zicka replied in a rising voice.

Then Zicka came out of the room leaving Marcel with the emotion that had exploded.

Feeling ignored by Zicka and Meyra, Marcel left the house with raging emotions.

"I'm not wrong. I only left them for 3 months. Well, I did have another woman for almost 2 years, but it's still not appropriate for them to behave like that to me" Marcel murmured like no regrets at all.

At home, Zicka was holding a subpoena from a religious court.

"I must quickly confirm this farewell. I couldn't stand his attitude and behavior. The current gratitude to file a divorce lawsuit is not complicated as long as there is corroborating evidence, then everything will run smoothly. Hopefully, Marcel forgot and did not appear at the trial so the divorce decision will be completed sooner without a hitch" murmured Zicka with a rumbling chest.

Tong ...

The door was opened.

"Who are you looking for, sir?" ask Andin.

"Is this Mr Marcel's house?" ask the postman

"Yes right, what's wrong?"

"This is ma'am, there's a subpoena from the court. Please accept and sign here!" said the postman while giving a brown envelope with the logo of the religious court. After receiving the letter, Andin immediately signed the receipt file.

"Thank you, Mom. Then, excuse me," said the postman then immediately passed from in front of Andin.

Seeing the logo on the front of the brown envelope, raises a question mark in Andin's mind.

"What is this letter?" muttered Andin curious.

He immediately tore off the end of the envelope. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw the contents that turned out to be a summons from the religious court for Marcel which contains the time and place the divorce lawsuit will be held. Zicka was named as the plaintiff and Marcel as the defendant. Instantly, Andi's eyes sparkled beautifully, his smile splattered, his chest rumbling happily.

"It is fitting that Marcel lately felt frantic, apparently because his first wife filed a divorce lawsuit anyway. Good, so I don't have to bother provoking them to get a divorce right away" muttered Andin happily. No matter where Zicka knew their home address, Andin was not so bothered about it. To be sure, Andin is very happy now because soon he will be the only wife of a Marcel.

Afternoon

"Mas, there was a subpoena from the religious court," said Andin sumringah.

"What's? What letter did you say? A subpoena from the religious court?" marcel asked for an explanation.

Andin nodded quickly, "yes. That's the letter on your desk." Andin flicked his chin towards Marcel's desk.

Marcel rushed to get the call. He looks shocked, it turns out Zicka is not messing with his words that want to invite him apart. He knows Zicka is a firm and intelligent person because when they are both still hotel employees, Zicka's career is faster than her. If Zicka were still working there, maybe it wouldn't be like this. Zicka's career will certainly be more brilliant than hers.

Marcel rushes to get his car keys and drives his car to Zicka's house. He will try to get Zicka to drop her divorce. For some reason in the depths of his heart he still wished he could maintain his household with Zicka. He knew Zicka loved him so much that he was sure he would be able to break Zicka's heart back so he wanted to cancel his divorce lawsuit.

Arriving at Zicka's house, Marcel immediately took a spare key to enter the house.

Ceklek .. cekelek ...

"****! Why can't it be opened? Is it possible that Zicka has changed the lock? Ah, shit!!!"

"AwlT ... Zcf ... Zicka baby, please, open the door! Aimeaaaa .... Quickly open the door!" marcel shouted as the door could not be opened.

"August ... I know you're inside, quickly open the door!!!" marcel shouted again but there was still no response from within.

Unresponsive to Zicka, Marcel left the house upset.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm tired of having to keep dealing with you. I've made up my mind to part with you. Good thing Meyra slept at mom's house so she didn't have to hear your screams" said Zicka, who was in the room, deliberately not wanting to go out.
