Why Should I Pariban?!
Officially Divorced

"really? So you're getting divorced?" peekik Ferdi was so happy that afternoon, when Dean told him that Sea had agreed to divorce.

The girl simply nodded, and as Ferdi hugged her to express her joy, Dean felt very sad. His mind kept imagining Sea.

"Dean, then I'll talk to my parents. We'll get married once you're officially divorced" Ferdi said.

Dean came home empty-hearted. Sea hasn't been home for a week. He said he worked a lot, so he chose to stay in a hotel near the office. Just a cliche reason to stay away from Dean.

The girl knew it was just to put some distance between them. Dean should've left that house, not Sea. This is the man's house.

The letter that Rizal left him yesterday is still on the table. Dean breathed closer to the file, and reread.

Their divorce papers that she has to sign. Why is it that when the road to be with Ferdi is more open, he does not want to separate?

His days were already accustomed to the existence of the Sea. Even they have been...

Back Dean took a breath. With tears in her eyes she signed the letter because tomorrow morning Rizal would come to pick it up.

The Sea Friend was an intermediary for the two of them. It seemed that Sea really did not want to meet her.

He saw the letter that had been laced with the signature. Her cries broke, crying out to a man with a slashing cry, but not sure what she was crying about.

The divorce trial has already begun. The two never attended the trial, represented only by their respective lawyers. Ferdi's the one who's been providing Dean with a lawyer.

At the time of mediation they finally met after such a long time. Dean was eager to run hugging Sea. The impulse is getting stronger. For months they had not met.

"How are you?" tanya Sea walked up to Dean as he entered the mediation room.

"Ba-ik," replied Dean weakly. His feelings are mixed. She misses. Oh, how is this feeling, why is it so unpleasant.

The rest were both silent. He then heard local officials' instructions on what they should talk about during mediation.

Sea said he would remain divorced when asked if he had found an agreement to refer. Hearing Se's statement Dean's heart was getting broken.

Outside the religious court office, Sea greeted Dean, congratulating the girl.

"Two days ago I met Ferdi. He said that you will get married soon and both parents agreed. I'm happy, I pray that you two will always be happy" said Sea bitter. His voice seemed to tremble just to show that he was not doing well.

Dean accepted the hand forcefully, but threw his face the other way. He did not want Sea to see the destruction of his heart at this moment.

Dean wants to say that he's not okay. He is unhappy and he hates having a wishful feeling. But he can't afford to say that.

"Thank you" she replied bitterly.

"We'd better split up here. Even if I can't come to your wedding, I'll definitely send you a gift. Once again I congratulate you and wish you happiness" Sea said before leaving in front of the girl.

After Sea left, Dean walked in the opposite direction. His chest was tight, he needed to calm down and choose a garden near the religious court for his place to calm down.

Dean sat there alone with a broken heart and feelings. He cried out lamenting for his life. Is this really the path he wants? Will he be happy with Ferdi? What about Sea? Can he forget all the memories he had together?

All those questions were only her answering with tears, trying to listen to her heart but feeling extremely claustrophobic.
