Towards a New Life

For the first time, after so many full passes since he decided to entrust the management of the foundation to his confidants because the heart did not want to be hurt more by his love that did not arrive. Tama stands gallantly on the balcony of the third floor of the foundation office building which has now been built more magnificent.

The inauguration of the new building requires him to be present at the foundation where he finds someone who makes his heart fall. But reality slaps him, until he realizes that his love will never be conveyed because the idol has become the property of others.

From where it stands Tama can see the entire enterprising foundation. Both students and teachers and other employees are busy with their respective activities. Seeing the library building right in front of the building where it stands makes his memory drift back to a few years ago. The shadow of a girl who loved to linger in that place adorned her mind this afternoon.

The bright afternoon atmosphere did not necessarily make his heart bright, the more he tried to forget the stronger the taste in his heart.

I don't know what God's plan to the love Tama feels for someone in his past is so difficult to disappear even just to fade no chance. Precisely getting neatly imprinted in the deepest recesses of the heart.

"Bro, everything is ready. You must be tired, rest after eating" an unfamiliar voice in his ear made Tama turn her face to the source of the voice, the shadow of the girl who always felt at home in the library was diverted due to the presence of her best friend.

"OK, I'm already very hungry" Tama said with her flat face, without waiting again she turned around and walked through the Regi towards where the food she would eat.

Tama's arrival this time was alone. He asked the father to come inaugurate the newly built building in his foundation.

"All the invitations have been spread out, parents and local officials have confirmed their attendance tonight, almost 90% will attend. All teachers and employees have also been confirmed unless Ms Lisna permission can not attend the event tonight because there is a family need" he said" Regi reported the preparation of the grand event of the foundation tonight which will be attended by the number one person in Garut on the sidelines of their afternoon lunch.

"Heumm.." answered Tama, he remained focused on the food he ate.

"Aren't you asking me what his needs are?" Regi returned to his voice, after a moment of silence.

"That's your business" answered Tama Ketus, she doesn't care about anything about the teachers in her foundation now, because she's left everything to her confidants.

"Eumh...alright" replied Regi did not continue his speech. The vibration of his cell phone on the table managed to distract him.

Deerrr.......Deerrr.....

"Dear Assalamu'alaikum" said Regi greeting the caller who since his phone vibrated had made him smile.

Suddenly, Regi's greeting to the caller made Tama stop her eating activities, she looked up at her best friend with a look of wonder. Since when did the man who always focused on work and his parents had a lover.

"Yes, I'm the same boss. Hehe.." regi glanced at Tama who was getting sharp, but he ignored her.

"Heum..." Regi seemed to nod his head hearing what the caller said,

"Okay, be careful on the road. Fii Amanillah, greetings to Rahma. Assalamu'alaikum" concluded Regi ended his conversation on the phone with a happy smiling face with his mind still fixed on the caller.

The sound of a spoon falling on a plate makes Regi back in the real world. He looked at Tama who suddenly changed the look on her face.

"Why?" asked Regi innocently, he resumed his delayed meal.

"Who called you?" tanya Tama was still with her flat face,

"Assalamu'alaikum" said someone who entered the room where Tama and the Eating Region shifted their focus. Both of them looked towards the source of the sound.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" compact both replied,

A beautiful girl with a mocca-colored veil matching her dress and the one she was wearing entered the room, walking closer to the table where Tama and Regi were sitting with a fluffy smile on her lips.

"Who?" ask Regi slowly, but did not get any answers from Tama.

"Mas.." said the beautiful girl,

"Tasya, why are you here?" tanya Tama wonder, though,

"Sama papa and mama dong, they invited me to attend the inauguration of the new building in this foundation. Mama said Mas came straight from Jakarta to here" replied the girl still with her friendly smile,

"Euheum" The shaken Regi finally gave a voice with a thud, he hoped that the two people before him were aware of his presence, he said,

"Buck...." Tasya, who was first aware of her whereabouts, asked through the look of her eyes at Tama,

"He's the Foundation's managing region, Papa's confidant and I" Tama said with his flat face, the expression is difficult to interpret by Regi.actually what is the relationship of the girl who came suddenly with her boss and best friend.

"Hey.." jolted Tama, punching Regi's arm slowly which just stood sculpting, dissolving in his reverie.

"Hah...eh, sorry, sorry, I'm Regi Mbak subordinate to Pak Tama" said Regi slightly stammered as jolted with a touch of Tama.

"Will you be engaged to Mr Tama?" Regi repeated the statement that Tasya made with questioning intonation.

"Ckkk.." Tama's voice rang, tama clucked,

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Tama switched the language, overflowing Regi's questions with her new questions. While Regi just smiled knot looking at the behavior of his superiors.

"They were downstairs, some people were holding them and chatting. I had permission to go to Mas first, I missed" Tasya said spoiledly, touching Tama's left arm on the table.

"Eheumm" Regi again made a sound, smiling faintly as he shook his head after seeing what was happening before him just now.

Hearing Deheman Regi, Tama immediately pulled the hand that Tasya touched, she stared intently at the girl asking through the look of her eyes so that Tasya could maintain the attitude, but she did not seem that sensitive.

The event that everyone was waiting for finally came time. Everyone seemed excited to welcome the event. Some important guests have appeared to arrive and occupy the seat according to the label listed on each guest seat.

Tama sits in the front row, the creations of students from various levels become entertainment at pre-event activities this time. To the right of Tama sat the father who deliberately came to surprise his only son with his presence in the company of his mother who sat side by side with Tasya.

Tasya was originally about to sit next to Tama but the look in his son's eyes begged that mama stop the girl's action was understood by the mama and this is how their sitting formation is now. To the left Tama sits handsomely the handsome man who became his confidence in managing the foundation that was progressing and developing in his hands, Regi.

"Does you know me?"tama asked in a soft voice, he brought his face closer to the ear of the father while his chin pointed towards the label on the table bearing the name of the father.

"No, who said? At first papa can not come but because the guest who will come to the house cancel the appointment of the meeting and your mother asked to return to the original plan to go to Garut, yes papa the hell can what?" papa said casually, he clapped his hands and was proud to see children's art creations on stage.

Hearing her father's answer Tama slightly snorted, she turned to her left side to clarify the unfinished business with Regi.

"You have an explanatory debt to me" he said sternly, repaid with a grinning smile by Regi,

"What?" tanyanya pretends to be plain, just plain,

"Who are you calling?" ask Tama to the point,

"He's Lisna the teacher here who asked for permission not to attend because of family matters. In recent months we have been involved in various school activities. I like it and we agreed to have a relationship" she explained briefly, concisely and clearly but had not erased the curiosity in Tama's mind.

"Then?" tanya Tama who was not satisfied with Regi's answer.

"Then what?" Regi is still acting pretentious even though he knows the core of Tama's question but again the look in Tama's eyes makes him blur to be innocent.

"He was with Rahma, so I greeted him" Regi said, still seeing the horrible look of his best friend,

" That's it. I don't think it matters. Don't you have a fiancee now? hurry up to get married so that I will follow soon" concluded Regi accompanied by oddity,

Their brief chat ended with the presence of the guest of honor tonight who will inaugurate the new building in the foundation.

While elsewhere....

Rahma was accompanied by Lisna and Joseph was in her father-in-law's house, more precisely in her former father-in-law's house.

A month passed, since his last togetherness with Anggara, he kept his day verbally Anggara uttered talaq for Rahma in front of his brother and sisters. Although separation is always a scary thing because it will always present a sense of loss, but somehow there is relief in Rahma's heart after the word is said from Anggara's lips.

The next day after that night Rahma went straight to the religious court to file for divorce. The end of the domestic instability experienced by Rahma turned out to be in the religious court, tears were inevitable when Rahma had to choose the decision. Divorce is a lawful thing that Allah hates. But in fact he must be in that position, even though Rahma knows very well if the dynamics of the household will always be there and complex, marriage is the longest worship then it should end in Heaven not a religious court.

"O Allah, may it be steadfast to choose this path Thou shalt be pleased, Bismillah" he murmured before entering the building. After Istikharah and hypocrisy at the end of each prostration his heart was steady to retreat from his marriage.

And a month passed, all the process has been through Rahma smoothly. The decision of the judge in the form of divorce deed received after carrying out the procedure. The process of the trial process that starts from the stages of the Court of Justice reading the lawsuit, the defendant's answer, proof from the plaintiff and defendant to the judge's decision until the Syar'iy Court (MS) provides documents on divorce decisions that have been passed well, They are quite cooperative in this regard. And today Rahma intends to say goodbye to her two former in-laws.
