Broken Glass

Chapter 21

Bestari stared intently at Dayan. “Connect me, Sir!”

Dayan shook his head. “I will never divorce, Mother. I still love Mom,” she said.

“Love for betraying and remarrying. What love is it?” cynical Bestari.

“Just till whenever I won't divorce Mom.” Dadah.

Bestari took a long breath. “Terserah, Father! I just want to split up. I can no longer trust my father. I'm very hurt, Mr.”

Dayan looked at his wife with a pleading gaze. “Everything's done, Mom. How else would you like? I also divorced Royani. I'm sorry for hurting Mom and the kids. I'm really sorry.”

“Bapak alone still keep in touch with Royani kok,” ketus Bestari.

“That's because I'm monitoring the progress of the land sale, ma'am," Dayan argued.

“You come back again with Royani is also nothing, sir,” timpal Bestari. “Me and the children can live without Father,”.

Bestari's last sentence was like a heart-piercing blow to Dayan. It hurts and hurts so much. His wife and two children have stated that they do not need his presence on their side. His pride as a man and husband seems to be no more. “I still want to live with Mother and children,” he said slowly.

“I don't want to live with you anymore Father. I don't know if the kids. If later we separate, you can also still meet the children. Although you do not give a living to them, but the Father is still the father of children,” said Bestari.

“Not that I don't want to support children, Mom. My salary's up to pay. Little leftovers for me working hero.” Dayan.

“Create heroes what do Royani do?” sindir Bestari's. “Don't Dad give him a living every month? Even the legal wife of her own child is never endowed. You are a good husband for Royani, but not for me,”.

Once again Dayan gasped at the words Bestari said. It's painful, but it's true. So deep is the wound he has inflicted on his wife. Maybe an apology is not enough to remove all the wounds.

“I'm home, sir. Poor kids at home no food.” Bestari left Dayan who could only remain silent. Can't stop the wife's departure.

...***...

Bestari finally tells the problem of the house to Riri and Ratna. Although he did not tell Ratna about his father who had a young wife. Bestari did not want her son to be hurt. Let Ratna know for herself after all this has passed. Bestari must take care of the mentality of her two children who will face the school graduation exam.

Riri and Ratna finally let the house sell after Bestari gave understanding. They did not want the house to fall into the hands of the loan shark. However, the house has many memories for the four of them. After all his family members agreed, Dayan was more and more eager to offer the house.

Many people who are interested come to see Dayan's house, because the yard and his house are spacious. However, they do not match the price. Some say it is suitable, but it turns out just a talk. Dayan had hoped the house would be sold. Dayan is very easy to trust others.

While offering the house, Dayan also applied for a loan to the bank with the guarantee of the house in the dispute. The plan if the house sells, the money will be used to pay off the debt in the bank. Money from the bank to pay Norman.

Many banks that Dayan has been to, but they did not dare to give a loan as much as the 42-year-old man asked for. Dayan asked Bestari for help, using her plant efforts as a support. At first Bestari refused, because she did not want to share the debt. However, eventually the mother of two children was willing as long as she did not share the responsibility of bearing the debt. Because of that, many banks came to survey the store and ask for financial statements of Bestari plant business.

Erwin actually offered help as well. They will help the process of selling the house, but set a high fee.Of course Dayan refused. If the broker fee is too high later he will not get anything. It's the same as losing her house.

Payment due time is getting more and more. It makes Dayan more confused. He kept urging Bestari to help him.

“Bu, please help me let the house sell quickly,” refer Dayan.

“Request Royani's help there. Why do I keep going after you? I should have gone after Royani. He used the money. I don't use the money but get affected,” reject Bestari who is inflamed. He was very upset that Dayan had already made his life unsettled. Especially with the arrival of people from the bank who want to survey the store. I don't know what sin he's committed to have to experience it.

“Royani it's now gone, Mom. He went out of town because many people were also looking for him to collect debts,” Dayan explained.

Bestari smiled cynically. “Ck, hazy? Most people owe that, his life is not calm. Always chased. It could be later the money he used will also not be returned.”

“Royani will definitely return it after the land sells. He has promised. I'm sure of that, Mom. So Mom if you can lend him money to take care of his land.” Dayan still continues to defend Royani.

Dayan's remarks made Bestari even more inflamed. “Don't let me lend him money. Did you have a written agreement with Royani that he will return the money? Very sure to return.”

“I'm sure he returned. He has promised. I will continue to ask the development of his land there,” Dayan replied with confidence.

“Oalah, sir, gini day still believe in the same people just by saying? Who use the agreement alone can deny let alone just talk. I was surprised by you, you have often cheated people why never realized. Royani has used the Father. You should make a letter of agreement on the stamp if he will return it. Did he say when he would return?”

Dayan. “Kan, don't know when the soil process is finished, Bu.”

“Nah, that's all the land is still in dispute why you still believe it. My land which is clearly certified has not been sold even though it has long been offered. The father thought to use logic. Don't just believe. Mbok so that guy's a little smart, sir.” Bestari did not think with the attitude of her husband who still believed in Royani. I do not know what has been done and given by Royani until Dayan like that. Since getting married until now, Dayan has always believed in others more than his own family.

“That question should not be discussed again, ma'am. I beg you very much. Please offer me that house as my friend. Or borrow their money with the guarantee of his home certificate. Can ‘kan, Bu?”
