Aini's Heart Journey

Lawsuit

The day keeps rolling. A different story every second and every minute. It's a taste we sometimes never want. That feeling should be part of this long journey.

Aini tries to meet Adit to improve their relationship. He went home when he finished work. And coincidentally, Adit is not home. He was at his parents' house with Ratri. Aini returned to Ratmini's house empty-handed.

Aini was starting to lose hope. He felt that his household was completely on the verge of destruction. It's not that he's prejudiced badly at his in-laws and honeymooners. But he knew enough, how the character of the two women had been all this time. Moreover, after Suharti's arrival this afternoon to his workplace. He was sure, Suharti's speech was not just a bluff.

Sundays. Aini's off today. And exactly one week Aini left her house with Umar. Since morning, he had been preparing with Umar to return home today.

But before they left the house, from the window of Ratmini's house, Aini could see Adit's car stopping in front of the house. She immediately opened the door for her husband. Umar was no less happy when he saw his father's car in front of his grandmother's house.

Aini smiled broadly. His face was full of happiness.

"Mas." Call Aini happy after she opens the door, coinciding with Adit being right in front.

Adit did not answer. He stared at Aini without saying anything. He turned his gaze to his son who was running from the inside of the house followed by Ratmini. Umar was immediately carried by Adit. They smile happily at each other.

"I'm here to give this to you." Said Adit flat while handing him the brown envelope that he had brought.

"What is this Mas?" Aini asked as she received the envelope.

"Umar's coming with Dad, huh?" Sahut Adit, regardless of Aini's question.

Umar also obeyed.

"Pamitan same Uti Mother first yes!" Pinta Adit soon.

"What is this Mas? I don't want a divorce from you, Mom!" Sela Aini was angry after she read the contents of the envelope.

"Whatever! But for sure, Umar will come with me from now on." Sahut Adit full of emphasis.

"I'm coming with you too, right? I don't want to part with you, Mas."

"Khadijah Isnaini, I dropped talaq on you."

"Don't joke!"

"I'm not kidding. Sign the letter immediately! I don't want to put this off for too long."

"But, I don't want to divorce you. And why did Mas file for divorce?"

"Because I've dropped the talaq on you. And I won't refer to you."

"But why?"

"It's not clear, if you've had an affair, even to get pregnant. And in fact, all this time, you also turned out to use me to finance your mother's treatment. Is that right, isn't it?"

Aini and Ratmini were struck by lightning this morning. His body suddenly limp, until their throat is choked. They never thought Adit could say such a thing.

"How could you say that? I never cheated on you, Mom. And this child is your son." Bela Aini.

Which heart does not hurt, when the person he trusts and loves the most, it turns out to be able to accuse and slander so cruelly and without any facial expression of regret at all.

Accused so cruelly by Adit, it really makes Aini's heart so painful at this time. The hope that from morning he had gathered, the reflection of the warm welcome of the husband when he arrived home, disappeared instantly. It was burned by the flames of slander that lit up so fiercely.

Adit smiled lightly at Aini.

"I will no longer be fooled by all your words. Supposedly, I did listen to Mom a long time ago and didn't force you to marry me back then." Deny Adit firmly.

"But, I never cheated. And I never intended to use you to fund Mom's treatment, Mas." Aini refuted again, with tears that had already flowed past her cheeks.

"Whatever!" Answer Adit briefly.

Adit turned to Umar who, with his innocence, looked at his parents who were fighting with their mouths, alternately. They don't understand what they're arguing about.

"Let's go, salim with Uti and Mommy first! After this, we go home. Yea?" Adit said with a smile on Umar.

Umar nodded.

"Mother, why cry?" Tanya Umar plain.

"No papa dear. Come on, salim the same Mother first!" Rayu Adit again.

Umar looked at Aini who was bowed and could no longer speak. His words seemed to be stifled not wanting to come out the slightest bit from his mouth.

"No want to Dad! Mother." Umar leaned his body on Aini while stretching out his arms.

Aini who felt called by Umar, immediately raised her face. He smiled to welcome his son.

"No! Umar now come with Dad home without Mommy!" Prevent Adit quickly, while rewinding his steps.

"Mother wants to be the same Mother!" Umar Whine.

"No Honey. Umar now goes home with Dad, to Mama Ratri's place." Kayu Adit is a little soft.

"No. Umal wants to be with Mommy!" Whimper Umar again, with eyes that began to turn red.

"Dear, it's the same Mother!" Aini answered while extending her hands to hold Umar.

"Mother!" Umar cried loudly while crying.

"Mas, don't take Umar, Mas!" Prevent Aini while running after Adit.

"Yeshaa!"

Umar screamed and cried hysterically. Adit ran faster and immediately started his car, after putting Umar in a chair beside him. Not to forget, he locked the car door, so that Umar or Aini could not open it.

"Summer!"

Aini called her son who was taken away by her own father.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. It's just, the situation is not right. Adit took Umar who did not want to go with him.

For a moment, the small family scene, managed to attract the attention of the neighbors around. Remember, it's Sunday. Some of them are enjoying their weekend mornings at home.

Aini's coming back home soon. He intends to follow Adit and Umar with his bike. But, when he got inside the house, he saw Ratmini sitting limply leaning against the wall of his house. His face was a little pale. He is surprised that Adit is suing for Aini's divorce and even directly dropped the talaq on him.

"Mothers. Mommy isn't papa?" Ask Aini to panic.

"No papa. Hurry up after Umar!" Sahut Ratmini.

"But, Mother,,"

"Mother is not papa. You quickly follow Umar and bring him back here!" Pinta Ratmini is slow.

"Why are you going to?"

Aini is beset with worry. She really wanted to chase after her son and husband, but she also could not leave Ratmini just like that in a bad condition.

"Let Bude take your mother. Hurry up and you'll chase your son!" Said an old woman, whose house was right next to Ratmini's

"But Bude?" Answer Aini confused.

"No papa Ni, hurry up, go after your son! Bude will take care of your mother. Relax!" Said the woman.

"Solve your problems and bring Umar home, Nduk!" Pinta Ratmini again.

Aini finally complied with her mother's request. He immediately took the key and chased Adit's car.

Honey, Aini lost track of Adit's car. He also chose to drive his motorbike to Adit's house. But apparently, Adit did not bring Umar home. Aini then tried to find Umar to his father-in-law's house. Adit took Umar there.

Adit and Aini again quarreled there. Adit unhesitatingly, again accused and berated Aini. And in fact, now Aini is increasingly cornered by Ratri and Suharti.

"But I've never done that."

Aini is still trying to defend herself. But alas, he still could not melt the heart and mind of Adit who was already affected by the incitement of Ratri and Suharti.

Hadi who was accompanying Umar in the room, could only listen to the three people's quarrel because of his condition. In fact, he had trouble calming the crying Umar and tried to get out of the room to meet Aini. The sound of crying could be heard in Aini's ears.

When the quarrel had not subsided, Aini's phone rang. Apparently, the neighbor who accompanied his mother earlier called.

"Yes Bude. What's up?" Aini asked a little sobbing.

"Sorry Nduk, your mother was taken by Mr. RT to the hospital. He sweated a lot and then fainted after you left."

"Yes Budhe, thank you. To which hospital is Budhe?"

"Graha Medica Nduk, the nearest one."

"Yes Budhe, Aini get there."

After receiving the news, Aini also panicked. He was confused as to which should be prioritized at the moment. Mother or son.

"Let me take Umar with me, Mum! She's been crying since." Please Aini again in the midst of her confusion.

"will not. You better get out of here and take care of your mother! But, I will no longer, give you my money to finance it." Adit is angry.

"Please Mas, let me meet Umar first!" Pinta Aini to rest in front of Adit.

"Didn't you hear what Adit said! Get out of here!" Suharti snapped, dragging Aini out of the house.

Aini thrashed as she could. He really wanted to meet his son, even for a moment. But Adit really didn't allow it. Hadi, who used to defend him, could not do anything because of his condition.

Aini finally left Adit's house, with tears streaming down. Feeling the pain of his heart that could not meet his first son. Moreover, his mother is also being rushed to the hospital at this time.

Along the way, Aini's tears did not stop flowing. He still can not believe, that Adit sued for divorce and immediately dropped the talaq on him. And in fact, he was not allowed to meet his own son, who was clearly crying out to him.

Ciaiton, BRAK.

Aini who is not focused on driving his motorcycle, can not control the speed of his motorbike, when a car in front of him braked suddenly. Collisions are inevitable. The Aini motorbike hit the car quite hard. His body bounced a few feet from his motor.

No one knows what fate awaits us. It is always a mystery that can never be answered until it comes to us in time.
