"Where are you going, Zafran?"
Mala also followed the man who had accompanied him for several days. The girl widened the pace to immediately catch up with Zafran who was about to reach the door.
"Zafran! Wait!"
Mala pulled the man's hand and made him turn and face him.
"I've done what you want, Mala. Now, I have to go home because Lita's about to give birth. I had to be there and see for myself my son was born. I have to go" Zafran said, releasing Mala's hand which was clutching her arm.
"You can't leave, Zafran. You promised me I wanted to be here. Why did you deny it again? Why do you keep being mean to me, Zafran?!" he shouted out loud.
Tears fell inexorably, the pain felt plentifully hit the heart. Zafran did not care, continuing to get into the car even though Mala's screams continued to echo.
The girl in open clothes ran through the window of Zafran's car.
"Zafran! Openup! You can't leave me! Zafran! ZAFRAN!"
The man really cared about the ears, kept stepping on the gas pedal and drove quickly. Mala had chased after him, but fell because both legs suddenly felt weak.
"ZAFRAN!" Mala fell in her own yard. Sobbing lamented the departure of the man's husband.
The assistant who heard the screams of his employer rushed out over.
"Geez, Neng! Why is sampe kayak gini? Awake, Neng. Don't believe it, "he asked while helping Mala stand up.
"He's gone, Mom. He says he doesn't care about his wife anymore, he says he wants to keep me, but why is he leaving now, Mom?"
Mala dropped her head on the old woman's chest. Crying hysterically, feeling betrayed by the man he loved so much. The assistant took her in and sat her down on the sofa, without waiting for her to rush to fetch water and gave it to Mala.
"Drink first, Neng. Take it easy, Neng. Don't believe me," he said attentively.
Mala took it and drank it. The flow of water in the throat no longer feels fresh, just the opposite of piercing pain. Like his heart being torn apart by Zafran's reckless attitude towards him. After draining money from him to rebuild a business that was on the verge of bankruptcy, he left just like that leaving a deep wound.
"Calm, Neng. I didn't like that man from the beginning. He only benefits from Neng. Men like him should be taught a lesson, let's not carelessly humble people. I don't accept him making Neng like gini," he said furiously.
Mala who was still as unwilling as she was silent, digested the sentence of the assistant who was like her own mother for her. His fingers clenched, if Zafran really left him then he would have to make a calculation with the man.
"Mother, she can't seem like a gini. Look, I must have bales everything you did, Zafran. You cannot be happy when you make me suffer. Look at it later!"
*****
Zafran arrives early at the hospital, Mother and Nisa sit in front of the delivery room, waiting for Lita who is struggling inside.
"Mom!"
"Zafran!"
Mother got up from the bench and met her son. Reluctant to see his arrival, but an anxious look was clearly drawn on the old face.
His body stiffened as if he was faced with a test between life and death.
"He's inside, Hendra's inside too. Your child is not yet born, quickly you go inside. Poor Lita, she needs her husband" Mom panicked.
Zafran nodded, turning for a while as he crossed Nisa's seat. The girl nodded politely, but Zafran did not reply. Her heart was filled with anxiety about the state of Lita and her baby. He rushed in, but was quickly blocked by medics inside.
"Lita!"
"Mas! You came?" Lita's voice sounded soft.
Zafran passed the medics and stood beside Lita's bed lying down. The taste of haru just like that filled his heart. Moments of the presence of a baby that he is very much looking forward to since his marriage to Seira.
However, it was only a while that Zafran was there that Lita grimaced while looking at her wide-open legs. The baby in the stomach comes out on its own. Without pain or a story of difficulty. Everything just happened, even the medical team was preoccupied by the baby's cries.
"Doctor!" Lita sounded panicked, while Zafran was in disbelief.
The sound of crying babies also creates happiness in the heart of the Mother who is waiting in front. The old woman even hugged Nisa vaporizing her happiness. Complete already family members in their big house, the presence of the anticipated granddaughter has perfected her life.
The smiles of happiness are imprinted perfectly on everyone's face, especially Mom and Zafran of course, but not with Hendra. He was there, just silence did not help Lita's labor process. Besides he is not a gynecologist, nor does he care about the state of the woman and her baby.
*****
In his room, Hendra thrust a brown envelope coming from the religious court to Zafran. Lita and the baby are resting with Mom and Nisa.
"I don't think you're going to take this step, Zafran. Not that you seriously want to separate from Sei, besides now your child has been born," said Hendra while leaning back.
Zafran folds his forehead, looking confused at the logo on the envelope. As he remembered, he had never gone to court to take care of his divorce. Seira, that woman doesn't have any files. It is impossible for him to take care of everything. Then, who?
"I never planned to take divorce papers to court. I'd like to refer to Sei, but this letter who sent?" muttered Zafran while looking at the letter inside the envelope.
Court summons.
Hendra frowned, straightening his body back up a little leaning on Zafran.
"You sure?"
"Yes, I don't know. If it's Sei, he doesn't have any files at all. How could you possibly handle all this?" Zafran looks confused.
"Kalo Sei does not have the files, it means he is helped by others. And for sure that person is not just anyone." Hendra muttered while thinking.
If they are in court, we will meet in court. Zafran will know if Sei is pregnant again.
Hendra's glance fell on the man in front of him. In the past, she had intended to tell Zafran about Seira's pregnancy, but she refused to meet him. Be until that day, Seira's pregnancy is still a secret.
"But I don't want to divorce her, Hen. I want to refer to him. I don't want a divorce" racau Zafran looks disappointed.
Hendra sighed, it was too late. He cussed Zafran inwardly, sneering at his reckless actions that ultimately brought regret. Being too hasty to make decisions without thinking more deeply.
