100 Days of Being a Widow

Divorce Lawsuit

POV Jasmine.

One month after my husband's wedding, I haven't been able to get my emotions out. Social pressure about a barren wife, makes me numb. Who will defend me, when I protest against the polygamy my husband has done?!

My fault, pursuing ideals and neglecting the household?!!!

see...!!! I was too young when I got married. It's only been a few months to get your first period!

Even I just felt like falling in love for the first time on another kind!

Is life in such a way, that to make yourself happy is despicable?!

......

Three months passed. I feel like my husband rarely has time for me. The presence that is divided equally, four days for me and three days for Tya, in fact it does not always go that way, because during the day Malik will certainly be in the boarding school owned by the father-in-law, where Tya lives there.

He was only with me at night. Sometimes more silence and start to act cold .

***

That afternoon, as I was teaching the Madrasah class I was leading, my mother-in-law came over, forcing me to end the class. My mind raged, for some reason, I seemed to know what my in-laws meant. I don't know, I guessed my own life-flow, my fate that was very poor and ready to be removed.

My arm was pulled strong, towards the middle room of the house which was only 10 meters away from the madrasah. I was pulled half-run. My tears broke before actually hearing all the mother-in-law's explanations.

"Dead, from today on, Malik will not return to this house again. You have to accept that, because Tya is already pregnant with my granddaughter!"

I could only cry as much as I could, without being able to refute a word from my mother-in-law.

"Malik will continue to support you as usual. But please don't bother him, because I don't want Tya to feel inattentive and have a bad impact on her content!"

"Mas Malik still has a responsibility to me as long as he does not divorce me, Umi!"

Umi was stunned, maybe he did not think I still dared to defend myself.

"Take this as karma, a woman who ignores her husband and wrongs marriage!".

I'm speechless. Can only see the step of the mother-in-law who moved away, her step swayed quickly, followed by the courtiers who were always loyal to follow her. Their faces were pitying, perhaps pitying my fate!

....

Since then, Malik has not contacted me, let alone come to visit!

It disappeared like the earth.

Until one afternoon, a letter was delivered by Mr. Rahman, he was a witness to my marriage, as well as an advisor at the boarding house owned by Kyai Mansyur.

"I'm sorry Malik, Ning. He tried to be fair. But what we face is not as easy as a concept. Ning Tya was just an ordinary human who had such a heavy sense of jealousy. His desire should always be a priority for those around him. It makes His affection, as a force to justify his purposes, including this divorce".

Again, I felt like crying. Shouting hysterically until barely conscious.

Polygamy was something I knew was going to happen, I prepared well and I lived for almost four months. However, I really did not expect, it was the divorce that I faced. Being an unelected woman, and being thrown away.

I feel humiliated. Without word he then registered a divorce lawsuit in the Religious Court. Without compromise, I had to face the trial myself, because my father, who had just died after battling a heart attack after hearing the divorce lawsuit.

still continue 1 part again ya😘
