Heaven Under Husband's Foot

FLASHBACK (Divorce )

It all happened so soon, tomorrow mom Widya and dad Aidan will get divorced. And all child custody decisions will be made today, with both Arkana and Bima just waiting at home for the duration of the trial.

Arkana pulled Bima's sleeve at that time, she asked the whereabouts of her father and mother to her brother. When Bima touched Arkana's head and stroked it gently, Arkana was confused by this situation.

“ You love more who.?” Ask Bima to Arkana.

“ Mom. I love mama more, bad papa always hit mama.” Answer Arkana innocently.

“ So, if they split up you want to come with mama huh.?” Lontar Bima's.

“ They want to split up? Papa and mama parted.?” Arkana looked at Bima with a surprised look.

“ You must be a good child yes, if we later split you have to promise with sister to take care of mama.” Bima rubbed Arkana's head gently again.

And after the trial is over and child custody falls on the mother, Widya's mother will take her two sons to leave Sukabumi and return to her parents' house in Jakarta.

But the unexpected must happen, Bima claimed to want to come with her father from her mother. It certainly makes Widya's mother upset, she wants her two children to come with her but Bima still kekeuh to come with her father.

“ You heard yourself right, Bima prefer me than you. So now that you're out of this house, take care of Arkana.” Papa Aidan said.

The separation of the four of them became the most painful farewell for Widya's mother, divorced by her husband then separated from her first child, and now she has to leave the house with Arkana.

**

One week after leaving Sukabumi, Arkana lives in loneliness. No more big sister who always comforted him, no more quarrels between their parents, no more frequent chatter between him and mom Widya.

Mama Widya shut herself up for a week in her room, she never got out of there once. Arkana always goes in to cheer her up or accompany her to eat, Widya's mom just spends her time sitting on a chair with a glare staring at the window of her room.

“ Ma, tomorrow Arka has entered a new school. Mama wants to take Arka to school right ma.?” Ask Arkana looking at her mother's face.

“ ….”

“ Arch, here baby. Same grandma.” Call Arkana's grandmother Widya's mother.

Arkana approached her grandmother with a sad expression of not getting a response from her own mother, then Dina's grandmother invited Arkana to the living room to talk together.

“ Tomorrow let grandma take you to a new school ya.” Grandma Dina's.

“ I want to be with mom, grandma.” Reply Arkana.

“ Your mom still can not do activities as usual, so let her to rest yes.” Grandma Dina once again.

Even Arkana according to what her grandmother said, she also felt that her mother was sick and could not do many things. Even so Arkana really wanted on the first day she returned to school in her new school, she wanted to be accompanied by Widya's mom.

**

Arkana had just come home from school that afternoon, she heard her mother crying roaring in the room. When he saw it, his grandparents were trying to calm his mother.

“ Mama why.?” Arkana went inside the room while everyone was still busy calming Widya's mother.

“ Arch, you go to the room first, baby. It's adult affairs.” Grandma Dina's.

“ Good nek.” Arkana complied and immediately went to her room.

“ I don't want to marry again. Dad, mom, don't think how I feel? I just got divorced with Aidan, my son was taken with him. You can ask me to marry again.” Arkana heard her mother's voice at this time, she looked curious and decided to hear it behind her bedroom door.

“ Aidan is indeed not the right man for you, mama has already said but you have never heard.”

“ Anyway I don't want to marry again.”

“ If you do not accept this match, you stop being our child.”

The voices of his mother, grandfather, and grandmother are no longer heard out there. Widya's mama's cry was still heard, Arkana even heard the sound of shards of goods that might be caused by Widya's uncontrollable emotions.

Arkana then opened the door of her room, she saw that the door of her mother's room was still open and made her enter there immediately.

“ Mama.” Arkana tried to get close to her mother.

“ Go you. Mama doesn't want to see your face, it should be the one who comes with mama Bima and not you.” Widya's mom doesn't want to see Arkana.

“ Wrong Arka what ma?”

Mama Widya then turned her head and pulled Arkana's arm violently, she looked at Arkana's face with a sharp gaze that made Arkana even afraid of her own mother.

“ All because of you, papa you cheated from mama because of your mistake.” Said mama Widya.

“ Arka sorry if Arka is wrong, Arka dear same mama.” Reply Arkana who does not know should say let alone.

“ Go.” Mama Widya pushed Arkana to the floor.

“ Go, said mom go.!!!!” Widya's mother's thrashing made Arkana run away from the room while crying bitterly.

**

Since that day Widya's mom really doesn't want to see Arkana anymore, she keeps throwing him out whenever Arkana wants to meet. It makes Arkana much sadder than ever, she has no idea who she should tell her story to.

His grandfather and grandmother were still trying to persuade Widya's mother to accept an arranged marriage with a conglomerate boy named Hendra, and today the man will come home to meet Widya's mother in person.

Arkana was standing in front of her house when a luxury car had just arrived in the yard, then two men and one woman appeared with expensive clothes.

“ You must be Arkana.” Hendra said as he gently touched Arkana's head.

“ Om who.?” Arkana asked looking at Hendra with a straight look.

“ You will know later.” Answer then.

Arkana's Grandpa and Grandma came out to greet them, at that time Arkana did not come inside because she wanted to focus on playing in the yard.

“ Welcome Mr. Adyatama, please enter.” Grandpa Arkana.

Arkana turned to the side when she heard the sound of the window tapping, it caught her attention and made Arkana immediately approach the window.

“ Mama.?” Arkana stared at the window where Widya's mother was staring back into her eyes.

“ Mama need your help.” Said mama Widya in a slow tone.
