HAVE YOU EVER LOVED ME? (TAMAT)
DIVORCE PAPERS
Arumi exits the house, walking up to the ojek base near Rayyan's house. His only goal was to go to his father's house. Yes, the house that is the result of his father's hard work is still left with one car unit.
"Stop, sir." Arumi asked the taxi driver to stop when he got to his house. Then he handed over some money to the motorist.
Arumi stepped into the house. There was a Gentleman who welcomed his arrival.
"Bak Arumi Koq bring all the suitcases? Want to stay here, mbak?" Ask Mr. Budi while opening the gate for Arumi.
"Yes, sir from today I will stay here." Said Arumi, Budi also turned to the right and left but he did not see Arumi's husband.
"Bak alone?"
"Yes, sir." Arumi went into her house. While the suitcase was carried by Mr. Budi.
"Bak Arumi, you're alone?" Ask Ms. Fatma, her house assistant.
"Yes, Mom. Ma'am can I ask you please call everyone here? I want to talk to them.
"Yes, I'll call you for a minute." Arumi looked around the room. A room full of memories. Good and bad memories are all in this house. Whatever happens, Arumi will not sell this house. He just found out about his father's problem with Rayyan. But still Rayyan should not return her heartache by involving herself.
"Bak Arumi what's wrong mb?" Tanya Ina is an ART at Arumi's house.
"I'm sorry about you guys before. Earlier I said thank you for helping me and my father take care of this house. But.. I'm sorry that I had to lay off you. Only Mr. Budi and Ms. Fatma are still here to accompany me."
The ART already knew what Arumi was going to deliver. They were all six people including Ms. Fatma. So there are five people who will be dismissed by Arumi.
"Sir, I want to stay here to help Arumi. Whatever happens let us join Arumi."
"But I can't hire you guys." Said Arumi with teary eyes. Even he currently only relied on his own savings. And after this he'll quit his job at Rayyan's office.
"It's okay mbak. We are willing not in the original salary we can still stay here. Eating problems let us find ourselves. We are here like family. And life outside is very dangerous for a weak woman like us."
Arumi seems to feel sorry for her ART. That much they loved him. For Arumi they are not only an ART but already like his own family. He also knew life out there was not friendly. They are trapped in a black world like prostitution.
"Yes if you want to be like that. In the morning you can work anywhere. And after you get home, you can come back here. But I can't pay you guys. "
"it's okay, Arumi. We're glad we're still allowed to stay here."
Arumi steps towards her room, a room full of memories with her Mother's Father. Iya remembered how her mother was sick due to her father's affair with the woman who later she knew the woman turned out to be Rayyan's mother. At that time his mother was sick alone until finally died in the room, and Arumilah was the first to find her mother who was lifeless. His father does not know where.
Rayyan should have known that she also harbored heartache on Rayyan's mother. But Arumi has no grudge like Rayyan did against him.
Arumi called someone.
"Sir, please help me with my divorce. I want a divorce from my husband." Arumi told Frans, Arumi's family lawyer.
"Good Mbak Arumi. There is a problem what until the mother Arumi wants a divorce, even though the marriage of mbak arumi has not existed for three months.
"There's no match, sir. Please help me, sir."
"Yes Arumi I'll try immediately."
Arumi had to take such decisive action. A marriage that should be holy, must be desecrated by Rayyan. Why maintain marriage if you respect each other. There is a sense of tightness in Arumi's chest when she says divorce. But what can he do besides this? He has to continue his life.
Arumi then thinks she needs a job right now. He called someone who could help him. Keishya.
"Hello Key, how are you? "
"Eh, Arumi Alhamdulillah well. How're you?"
"Alhamdulillah good. Sorry Key do you have job info for me?" Keysha sounded silent for a moment, then raised his voice.
"Tomorrow I'll tell you when I see you."
"Like her, Arsya can help. I'll call him and tell him to give you a good job." Answer Keysha. Arsya is her older brother who now serves as CEO at Keysha's Father's Company.
"Ah really? thanks a lot Key. You are my best friend." Arumi.

THE NEXT DAY.
BRAKKK!!!!
Rayyan kicked through her desk so that the map containing Arumi's resignation letter was thrown carelessly.
"What the fuck is he. He's gonna embarrass me?" Gertak Rayyan's. In his heart he felt very lost. After Arumi's departure from her home, she can only daydream, looking at Arumi's room and the distinctive fragrance of her body that is still left there. There was a longing in his heart, yet he was stubborn enough not to acknowledge his own feelings.
tok tok...
"Lake in!" Rayyan orders at her pace with a seductive smile. Mini skirt and top with buttons open at the top, so clearly visible cleavage made Rayyan fed up.
"You have money to buy a dress for Res. Once again tomorrow I see you wearing a shirt lacking such material, I fire you!" Jerky Rayyan. Resti who had wanted to tease his boss, looked frightened.
"Yes, Sir. This is a letter from Arumi's mother's lawyer, sir."
Resti handed over the brown envelope, and rushed out of Rayyan's room.
Rayyan opened the contents of the envelope and for the second time she was taken aback this morning. Yes a letter from the religious court about the divorce suit addressed to him. Rayyan ripped the letter off.
"Ohhhhhh...." Rayyan looks so angry.
He calls his best friend Tomi, who works as a lawyer.
"Tom, help me. I won't divorce my wife."
"Will your wife ask for a divorce?"
"Yes, what should I do if he keeps pressing?"
"If evidence is found against you, he can redeem talak (khulu'). Without the consent of the husband, the wife can sue for divorce with ransom."
"So even if I don't agree, she can still get divorced from me?"
"Yes." Tomi replied briefly.
"What should I do about Tom? I don't want a divorce from my wife."
"You've touched her. I mean, you know, you've kissed her?"
"Be..lum." Rayyan was doubtful.
"What's... Crazy you Ray. You've been married for a long time but haven't touched it?" Tomi knows Rayyan has been married for a long time, because she was present at Rayyan's wedding. "That makes it even easier for your wife to divorce you, Ray."
"Ga I don't want a divorce from her." Rayyan.
"Hamily she's Ray. If she's pregnant, maybe she'll undo her intention to divorce you."
