BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

95. At the End of the Road

Her maternity leave is finally over. Nadia has to get back to work.

Luckily he had a good boss. Titiana's mother gave her policy, can bring her baby to the office.

Early in the morning she had placed baby Glor in the baby bather, preparing to bathe him. While bathing, he invited Glor to speak to stimulate his son's communication skills.

"Unfortunately, my mother, the little ones have come to the office. Mami is looking for money. For school Glor later. Glor has to go to high school, son, don't be like mommy."

Her baby's brown eyes were round looking at her.

Baby Glor responded by letting out a babble, "Oooooh."

Sometimes baby Glor smiles, sometimes laughs when he talks. The baby responds well enough every time he is invited to communicate.

At the age of three months, the baby grows increasingly cute and adorable. The baby's cheeks and pan tat are getting plump.

Several times Mother Titiana with her assistant, came to visit her specifically, only to take baby Glor for a walk to the Mall. Every time I came home from the Mall, baby Glor got a lot of gifts from Mother Titiana.

Baby clothes, toys, and other baby equipment piled up in his house. All from Titiana's mother. He rarely bought baby equipment anymore. Just buy diapers for the cute baby.

"Nadia, I really want to adopt this handsome baby" said Ms. Titiana. "It's nice to have a cute baby like this."

It's only natural that Titiana's mother said that. Because at the age of almost six heads, his boss does not have a successor. Let alone the successor, even Mother Titiana did not have a partner. The busy pursuit of a career makes Mother Titiana difficult to find a partner who suits her wishes.

But no matter how hard his life was, he would never give his son up for adoption by anyone else. Even though the person was Titiana's mother, her own superior, who was very kind to her.

Lily too. Several times Lily 'borrowed' baby Glor. Bring baby Glor hang out.

When baby Glor hangs out, both with Titiana and Lily, the opportunity he uses to clean the house.

Or he used it to take care of himself. His busy life takes care of baby Glor, making for a lack of self-indulgent opportunities.

Since Glor was born, she has never been treated at a beauty clinic again. Because the needs of baby Glor are more important, so he must save money.

Her body is not slender anymore. He must eat more than usual, to guarantee the supply of baby Glor's breast MILK. Because he plans to give ASI exclusive to his son.

"Ly, if you travel a lot with baby Glor, then guys will think you already have children. Not afraid of not doing it?" she rebukes Lily who looks like Titiana's mother. Always 'borrow' baby Glor for a walk.

"If aunty doesn't sell, aunty will wait for baby Glor adult, then we marry baby?" seloroh Lily while taking baby Glor to talk.

"Aaaaaaaw," baby Glor chanted with a smile to Lily.

"Well, Glor said he wanted to" Lily clapped. "Bigger, I'm gonna have a handsome husband."

"Ih amit-amit, my son married ninik-ninik," Nadia laughed. "Darling mommy don't want to?" Nadia pinched her baby's pinched cheek gently.

"If you have a guy, get to know his personality well before deciding to get married. Do not let you become a victim of a man who is easily bored, or fooled by a man who is easy to make false promises." For the umpteenth time he advised Lily. So that Lily does not experience the same thing as she feels.

After bathing baby Glor, its turn to bathe. As usual, he bathed in the bathroom without closing the door. Because of the baby glor he put on a baby stroller in front of the bathroom door. Because if you don't see anyone, baby Glor will cry.

Just like when she was pregnant, she left for the office in Lily's car. Carrying the stroller and baby gear needed as long as Glor was in the office. Starting from diapers, changing clothes, pillow bolsters and other equipment.

Once at the office, Glor's handsome and cute baby becomes a hotly contested baby by the women. Both those who are married and those who are single. The pure white baby moved from one sling to another.

"Duh baby Glor is so cute, who looks like it?" lontar Vera, a Junior Lawyer.

Although Vera praised her baby, the word 'who' was quite slicing her heart. It reminds me of someone who is hard to forget.

The man who had dropped his heart, changed the course of his life. The man had disappeared into the ocean of time. Disappear with the sweet words once said.

But he did not blame the man. Because the man had been trying to fight for her back then. But it was he who made the wrong decision.

She put all her baby tools and supplies in the file room, in her study.

Neither Ms. Titiana nor the Senior Lawyers in her office, none of them gave her such an arduous task. They understand very well when he is with a baby, so it cannot work optimally.

However, a bad taste enveloped him, because he got such special treatment. He was no one in that office.

"Everyone here respects you and loves baby Glor" Lily said as she expressed displeasure at Lily.

*******

After going through the stages of a long divorce trial, starting from the completion of the file, mediation to the conclusion hearing, finally Nadia's divorce process with Tristan to the decision reading stage.

At 9am Nadia was in court with her lawyer, Melanie's mother.

Titiana's mother also accompanied her with Lily. It was Titian's mother who came to pick her up at home and she took the mother Titiana's car to court.

While baby Glor he tipped on Mpok Nana. Early in the morning Mpok Nana had arrived at her house escorted by Bang Herial.

He first appeared in court before Tristan. Tristan came later with the law enforcement and Triyasih.

Despite several months of living together with Glor, but undergoing divorce proceedings and being on the brink of divorce did not go away making it heavy stress and protracted in sadness.

Going through the divorce process is not as easy as saying it. Although he and Tristan had agreed to divorce, there was no mention of property gono-gini or children's seizure, but still made his mental condition up and down.

He had to fight depression. He also experienced the trauma of marriage, as well as the trauma of having a deep relationship with a man.

Only baby Glor was his current strength. Soul comfort. His strength to rise from adversity and step forward. Today the baby Glor is its main focus, above all else.

And when the judge read out the verdict, the,

"Having heard the testimony of the Petitioner and the Witnesses, and examined the other evidence at the trial."

" ........... "

"Report ...."

"Acknowledging the Petitioner's request."

"I charge the Applicant to pay the case fee of Rp....."

The marriage ended with Tristan. Although there was a sense of relief in the space of the heart, but the world seemed to collapse. Being a single mother is not easy. However, divorce affects his psychic condition because of a life that has shifted.

As Tristan stood up to greet the Judge, he could not even stand up from his chair, as his legs felt very soft. Unlike Tristan who seemed relieved after the Judge's verdict. He felt himself very bad.

Although accompanied by a lawyer, always encouraged by Mother Titiana and Lily, but he felt alone.

Maybe he needs a figure that hugs him and holds his hand, giving strength that life does not end with divorce. That he was fine even though things had changed. There is no need to be afraid of experiencing life difficulties after divorce.

The judge came to him and regretted it. Because he felt his body was lifeless again, it was so difficult to get up from his chair.

Behind the Judge is Tristan waiting. When he was about to shake hands with Tristan, it turned out that he still had the remaining energy to stand up.

"I'm sorry Nadia" Tristan said, grabbing her hand.

Even though his heart was crumbling dimly, he still tried to smile at Tristan. Because he must appear strong even though his heart is indeed fragile.

"I'm the one who should apologize Tristan. I hope that after everything that happens, you can achieve your happiness. Get married quickly, and start your new life." He glanced at Triyasih who was standing beside Tristan, a little further back.

Tristan nodded. "Thus you shall return to him and marry. I hope you're happy too."

But he shook his head. Why did Tristan offend him. It only made her heart run.

Did Tristan think that his communication with Bimasena was smooth? Tristan doesn't know if the man never cared about his son at all, much less about him.

Bimasena's love is not for her anymore. Nor is it for Glor.

It was not farewell to Tristan that he cried so much that he felt devastated. But worry could not provide a good future for Glor, due to his extremely limited abilities and strength.

Soon she will have to face the negative stigma of being a widow. Social pressure is one of the things a widow like herself should accept.

"Good with Glor. I went home to Nadia" Tristan said later, then hugged her.

As much as possible, she held back tears. But it wasn't easy. He is not capable. He cried for a moment on Tristan's shoulder.

No one wants a divorce. Divorce is painful, there are always disappointments, tears and wounded hearts. But not all marriages can be sustained. Sometimes divorce is the best option and path.

After Tristan and Triyasih had passed, he sat back in his chair. Trying to gather the remnants of his energy to face tomorrow. Trying to accept the reality when it is alone.

Titiana's mother stood up from the chair, stepped in front of her and extended a hand.

"Rise Nadia, join your new life. I'm sure you'll be happier with baby Glor" Titiana said. Lily and Melanie's mother also stood in front of her.

He stood up again, hugged Mother Titiana and wept bitterly in the arms of Mother Titiana.

Titiana's mother was the most meritorious person to her right now. The mother had accepted him to work in a place she understood so well that the office did not need his knowledge at all.

Titiana's mother also allowed her to take Glor to the office. So that she does not need to leave her baby in the daycare. But he did not see other employees carrying babies like himself.

The services of Ms. Melanie's lawyer are also borne by Ms. Titiana, so she does not need to spend a budget to pay for the services of a lawyer.

She also hugs Lily and Melanie's mother. Both women gave him encouragement.

"The end of the relationship should not break the spirit. Do not be afraid to face the challenges of life ahead, because choosing to divorce it takes courage, it takes courage. You have that courage and guts, when other women choose to stay in a bad marriage for fear of divorce" Melanie's mother stroked her back.

"Don't cry Nadia. You are not alone, I will always accompany you. You have to be strong, because there's baby Glor who needs your affection" Lily also encourages him. "Life won't be as hard as you think. Believe me, maybe your life after this will be much better."

He nodded and tried to smile.

"We're going home to Nadia?" mother of Titiana.

"Thank you, Ms. Titi, Thank you, Ms. Mel, Thank you Lily" she expressed her gratitude to each woman who had accompanied her.

He then took the bag he had placed in his chair, and invited the three women who were still waiting for him to go home together, "Yuk we go home."

The story with Tristan is over. Now he must rise from the ground and fight. Being an independent woman and able to rest on her own feet. Glor gave him incredible strength.

Now he's going home, to reimagine his life with baby Glor.

For a better life.

But when he turned his back to the Judge's table and was about to step out of the courtroom, he hit the wall very hard.

So he bounced a few steps back. Then the judge's hammer knocked on his heart many times. Makes his heart not rhythmic, pounding not because of.

Luckily, Lily and Titiana are holding it. Because his body had lost its balance, it almost fell to the floor so shocked.

Because ... in front of there, on the doorstep of the courtroom, a man with the same eyes as Glor's brown eyes, was standing casually with both hands in his pants pocket. Was waiting for him.

What other trials will he face?
