Divorce Me!

CHAPTERS 1. Needed my Heart

"No! I don't want to be pitted, Mas!" I shouted loudly at the man who had the title of husband. I pressed this chest that felt so painful, while holding our one-month-old baby. With falling tears rolling by itself.

Just one month ago I felt the coldness of the operating table, betting on life to bring forth the fruit of love that we had craved for almost a year. But... What do I get?

Not the thanks I got, but the heartache. I looked at the woman standing outside my room with hatred. The woman Mas Ali introduced as his second wife.

"My decision is already unanimous, Sukma! I will marry Ratna" Mas Ali said firmly. Makes this mind increasingly grimace in pain.

"You can be like me, Mom? I just gave birth to our son, even my scar hasn't dried up. But you have brought another woman into this house as my madam!" yell loudly. I looked at the man who had promised to make me happy with disappointment.

My loud voice made the baby in this sling cry. I strengthened this body to stand up and swung my hands left and right to silence my son's cries. Do not silence the baby, just look at this child Mas Ali is not. The feeling of my surgical wound is not worth the heartache I am feeling right now.

"This is all because of you, Sukma! Try to give birth to a baby boy, I will also not intend to marry again. But what is the truth? The baby you gave birth to is a baby girl, useless! It will only be troublesome! Plus, your uterus is now troubled, making you no longer have any hope of giving me a boy!" answer Mas Ali. The more my heart hears it.

"But it's not my fault, Mom! It is not my fault that our born child is a woman, it is His absolute power! Women or men are the same.

You should be grateful, Mom! There are many out there who desperately want children. But God does not give, while you have got it, it is a matter of trivial things," I said trying to defend myself.

I looked at the baby who was beginning to calm down in my arms with a sad heart, how hurt it was to see this beautiful baby that I gave birth to was not expected by his own father.

"Sepele?! You gave birth to a Sukma baby girl! I want a baby boy as my family's successor! If only your uterus was not in trouble and could get pregnant again? Maybe I'll be patient waiting for you to conceive our second child, but in fact you're barren now!" sukul Mas Ali's. It really hurt my feelings.

"But, Mas! Can't do..."

"Enough, Sukma! I don't want to hear anything anymore! I'm just here to tell you that. Whether you agree or not! That doesn't matter, because under religious law, men are allowed to marry four wives!" mas Ali again.

This time he began to bring the proposition of Religion as a justification for his actions. Making my heart even more torn apart, how could he say that to me. Isn't there a little bit of pity for her towards me?

With trembling hands I wiped the tears on these cheeks, while taking a breath of self-soothing. "I don't want to be combined, Mas. And my decision was unanimous too! If you want to marry that woman, please! But please, chop me up right now!"

When I put out those sacred words, Mas Ali looked at me directly with a crossword. Maybe he didn't think I'd make that decision.

I closed these eyes for a moment, trying to dampen the rumble in the chest that makes the tightness. I took a breath and threw it away slowly. I nodded as I looked back at my husband with confidence.

"Well, if that's your decision, Mom! I won't demand a penny from you. But remember, never regret it!"

"Repent? It will never! Instead I am grateful for being apart from you and your real mother!" mas Ali replied with a cynical smile. My eyes grew bigger and I heard what he said to my mother.

"keep your word, Mom! It's my mother, your in-law! You are the one in this house. Did you forget this is my parents' second home, my mother who filled our eating and drinking during our stay here. As for the salary you gave, it ran out to fulfill your mother's crazy shopping wish!" yell loudly. Putting out all the uneg-uneg that stuck in the heart.

"Don't make up for you, Sukma! All this time I've given you all my salary!"

"But that is the reality!"

Two years married to him I never could enjoy the living he gave me. Mas Ali's mother would at any time come just to ask for his son's salary money on the grounds of arisan, college payments and others. So the salary given by Mas Ali is never enough for our needs.

"It turns out to be true said mother, you son-in-law who likes to get worse in-laws! I have chosen the wrong wife" hardik Mas Ali did not accept. Makes my feelings even more painful.

"I have chosen the wrong husband, the wrong I have believed the promise of your sweet mouth. And now I don't want to be a stupid woman anymore! Divorce me if you prefer him!" My finger pointed at the woman who was still faithful standing quietly in front of the door of my slightly opened room.

"Okay, I will see this afternoon you are Sukma larasati! From this day on, you're not my wife anymore!" said Mas Ali.

O God, so cruel is this man you gave me as my companion. He had thrown me away when I had given him the jewel of the heart. I kissed this baby in my arms. Don't worry, baby, even if your father doesn't want you. My mom and grandma love you so much. I won't leave you alone.

as hard as I was to hold tightness in my chest with all these events, Mas Ali easily dropped the talaq without thinking about how much pain I felt now.

"What's this?" suddenly I heard the mother's voice. To the surprise of Mas Ali and I turned to look at my guardian angel. I don't know since when, that woman who had given birth to me, was already standing in the doorway with a shocked face. Did you hear everything?

"Oh... Mom's home from Asar? Good if so, so...mom can be a witness in sisni? mas Ali said as if innocent.I don't know what the heart of the man I chose as my priest.
