Bound of Lies

Separated

Happy reading & ''Double

Renata cries in her father's arms and her mother gives a gentle swipe at Renata's back to strengthen.

Renata is still on his decision. Farewell was the best path he took for now.

***

Towards the evening, notifications of incoming calls were heard on Renata's phone. It's called Fabian for Video.

"Celia, Daddy called" Renata said, handing the flat object to her son.

Celia greeted him with joy

"Hi Daddy," exclaimed Celia as the video call connected. Instantly Fabian's face filled the screen.

"Hi Princess daddy's. How's your flight ?"

"Just so so, it's normal. It's more fun when Daddy comes along,"

"Sorry baby, Daddy's got a lot of work to do. How are your grandparents ?"

"Emmm they are doing great. Grandpa and grandma are fine,"

"Greetings to grandpa and grandma from daddy huh. Tell them daddy kangen,"

"Emmmm did daddy not send greetings to mommy too? Daddy didn't miss mommy ?" Asked Celia innocently.

"Of course, daddy kangen mommy. Tell mommy that she is the one I miss the most," (tell mommy she's the one I miss the most) Fabian said.

Of course Renata could hear what Fabian was saying. But he just kept silent and did not respond. Then Celia suddenly gave the flat object to Renata.

"  Nih mom, she said daddy kangen mommy,"

For the first time they came face to face, even indirectly.

Deg ! Renata accepts her with a pounding heart.

"Ehem," Fabian tried to neutralize his voice which started to sound nervous.

"How was the flight ? Until what time is Semarang ?" Ask Fabian streak.

"The flight was smooth, we reached noon at about 2 and immediately picked up by father and mother," Renata answered a little lie. Yes, there is less because Fabian was not present on this trip. But Renata has to get used to it.

"Oh thank goodness then. When is the plan to go home ? I'll pick you up later" Fabian said, leaving Renata speechless.

"I'm sorry, I mean pick up Celia," Fabian explained awkwardly.

"Maybe tomorrow afternoon. I'll call you later, though,

"Oh well, I'm waiting to hear from you. Happy resting. Sitip hugged and kissed me for Celia,"

"Hemm yes later I say," said Renata and then the video call was cut off.

Renata stared at the screen of her phone which had returned to its usual look. There's no more Fabian's face in there. Elsewhere, Fabian did the same. Staring at the screen of his cellphone that had appeared to the woman he so missed.

Fabian sat himself in a chair and stared blankly outwards at night with a view of Jakarta. It was so dark that it was as dark as his heart at this moment.

***

The initial stage of divorce proceedings has begun with the mediation or peace stage. Renata came with his lawyer. From Fabian's side only represented by the om Johan his lawyer. Fabian wasn't there.

Given about 1 week for mediation, but because both parties have agreed to separate, this stage will be passed and continued with the reading of the lawsuit.

Renata's lawsuit is very clear about the lies Fabian had done behind Renata throughout the life of her marriage.

The trial that day is over and will continue with answers from the defendants in the next few days.

"Sorry Fabian can't come, he's got a job that can't be left behind" Johan told Renata.

"Oh, that's okay, Om, I understand" replied Renata.

"See you at Re's next hearing" Fabian's lawyer says goodbye to Renata.

***

Other places Fabian had been waiting for his lawyer's arrival.

"Hi Bi, sorry to wait so long." Johan said to Fabian who had been waiting for him.

"It's okay, Om, I'm also just here" replied Fabian.

" How was Om ? Is Renata okay ? Is he healthy Om ?" Ask Fabian streak. Compared to the trial process that runs Fabian is more thinking about the state of Renata.

Johan's lawyer Fabian smiled at Fabian's question.

" If you miss Bi, you should join the trial process so you can meet," Johan teased the client.

"It can be bad if I come with Om, I can roar prostrate to him so as not to divorce me. But I promised to let him go" Fabian replied with a forced smile.

"The senses are good, he's healthy Bi. You don't worry. But it is still in his mind to separate. The mediation was rejected because you agreed to separate. The reading of the lawsuit from Renata has also been read. The next trial will be your response to the lawsuit Renata filed." Obviously his lawyer.

Fabian nodded his head in understanding.

"Do what's best for Renata. Whatever he asked to grant. I don't want to make him suffer anymore" Fabian replied.

"Don't you love his Bi ?"

"Very Om, I love her so much. I'd do anything to see her happy again,"

"Well, then" replied Johan.

***

The trial continues. The response from Fabian's side was to accept the lawsuit from Renata and admit his guilt.

Stage after stage of the trial Renata had gone through without Fabian present.

Evidence has been submitted, conclusions from Renata and Fabian have been submitted until arriving at the assembly deliberations and who will then read the decision.

It took 1 week for the verdict to be read. Renata waited with anxious hope. There's also a good thing he didn't meet Fabian so he didn't shake his decision.

Renata did not bother about the gono gini treasure that Fabian gave. Renata feels nothing when married so when separated Fabian gives a lot of treasure Renata received, but he will soon return the name on his son Celia.

***

The decision reading trial finally arrived as well. Renata comes with her lawyer wearing a white shirt and black tweezers looking charming though simple.

This was the first time they had met after deciding to separate.

They used to sit together on a leash to tie their love. But now they are sitting across from each other's lawyers and have agreed to untie each other.

The pain in the heart was felt by both Renata and Fabian.

Fabian smiled as their gaze met.

A smile that implied sadness in it.

"..... With this the decision of the assembly is to grant the petition of the plaintiff, as well as the reading of the talaq pledge will be implemented immediately" said the chief judge.

Fabian also uttered his talisman with a trembling voice holding back tears. Renata listened with tears streaming down. The pain and sadness Renata felt at the same time.

Now they have officially divorced in the eyes of law and religion.

***

"May I speak with you alone?" Fabian asked after they came out of the courtroom.

"Yes, sure," replied Renata.

They also walked to a place rarely passed by people.

For a while Fabian just looked at his ex-wife's face without saying anything as if venting his longing.

"Darling, uh I mean Re.... I'm sorry for all my mistakes, I'm sorry to avoid you all this time because I will definitely continue to beg you not to leave," Fabian said with a smile and cry at the same time. 

Renata lowered her head crying.

"Don't cry anymore" Fabian said and raised Renata's chin to look him in the eye.

"I'm sorry that I love you so much Re" Fabian said, kissing Renata in the forehead.

"Blessed," he said again as he began to release Renata and ran away leaving Renata who did not break a word.

Shortly heard the sound of squealing tires rubbing against the asphalt signifying Fabian driving forward his vehicle at high speed.

Renata leaned his body against the wall of the building and then shed his body on the floor and cried loudly there.

***

Fabian is jamming his vehicle at high speed without knowing the direction of the destination . Accompanied by the song Seperated which describes his current state.

Girl I know we have some good times

It's sad but now we gota say goodbye

Girl you know I love you, I can't deny

I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I

I know it hurts so much but it's best for us

Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust

So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry

It's killing me so, why don't you go

So why don't you go your way

And I'll go mine

Live your life, and I'll live mine……

Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine

Cause we're better off, separated

Honey, I know we've been through some good times

It's sad, but now we have to say goodbye.

Honey, you know that I love you and I can't deny it.

It can't be said that we've been trying to find a way out for you and me.

I know it hurts a lot but it's the best for us.

In the course of our lives that are put through trials, that's where we lose faith.

Then I'll go and you won't have to see me cry.

It's killing me so much, why don't you just leave.

Why don't you go your way, and I'll go my way.

Live your life, and I live my life.

You'll be fine, so will I.

The best thing for us is to separate.

Fabian pulled over his car, lowered his head and cried loudly on the steering wheel. Lamenting her love story that has now run aground.
