JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

DIVORCEMENT

That afternoon Soni suddenly came to Aluna's house with a bouquet of red roses. Aluna was not very concerned about his arrival, she was busy with her activities of clutching her nails which was assisted by a professional. He let Soni with his chatter.

"Lune! I brought you your favorite red roses. I hope you don't take heart just like my mom said. He doesn't know anything. She just said, 'Nantik I said same mommy so don't have to interfere with our business." His words seduced while about to hold the hand of Aluna who immediately on the edge of Aluna.

"Don't you dare touch me again" said Aluna with her sharp eyes towards Soni. Soni retreats, but she has not given up on getting Aluna's heart again.

"OK, I'm sorry, yeah!" persuade again.

Aluna was sultry with Soni's behavior as if there was no word to give up. He stood up and shook his waist staring at Soni who looked like he didn't want to leave if he wasn't pushed this hard.

"Son, if you get caught daddy you're here. You can be beaten with daddy. Mending you go home, huh." Aluna threw him out. But Soni is still stubborn, she keeps begging Aluna to forgive her.

What Aluna did not realize, Evan witnessed their togetherness. Where Soni who is constantly teasing Aluna and a bouquet of red roses that symbolizes the declaration of love is still Soni hold and keep trying to give to Aluna.

Evan was downcast to see it, his heart was very disappointed with what he saw. Aluna even brought Soni to her house to meet. The waiter who witnessed it was just staring at it, afraid that there would be a commotion to see the look on Evan's face that had been flushed with anger.

A moment Evan immediately realized and immediately left, forgetting the purpose of his arrival to Aluna's house. There's nothing to talk about anymore. That was enough to explain everything to Evan. Aluna has no intention of mending their relationship.

...***...

Suddenly a servant came to meet Aluna.

"Miss... There was Mr. Evan here... " Report the waiter immediately.

Aluna was shocked to hear Evan's name. He immediately got up and ran out, he tried to chase after Evan who had already driven his car to the gate of his house. Aluna tried to run after him but Evan was out of the gate.

"EVAANNN..." Shouted Aluna annoyed at being late to find out Evan's arrival. He was sitting limp in his yard.

Soni soon follows Aluna outside. Aluna looked at Soni sharply.

"Why do you always make my relationship with Evan messy, anyway!" aluna shouted annoyed and immediately ran to meet her aunt. And tell me everything. Evan came to see him, but he made Evan misunderstand him and Soni. Evan must hate him so much now, as if Evan's suspicions have been true about his relationship and Soni. Why does God always make Evan misunderstand him. Aluna grew louder sobbing with a void close to her face. He needed someone to accompany him, but right now Dea and Silvi were busy with their respective activities. He felt he had nowhere to complain anymore.

...***...

After his return from Aluna's house, Evan went straight to his son's funeral, he made a pilgrimage and looked at his son's grave long enough with a blank look. His mind wandered deep into his past, when he and Aluna first met, fought, were together, and went through many things. Until finally his son left him, a child he had not been able to greet and hear his cries. Remembering that incident was very painful for him.

If time can be turned, he does not want to start this all because eventually he has to lose his son, the thing he wants to fight for. Even to be futile, this is unfair. He had struggled to make everything go well, so he was willing to go through all this, in the bad and despised Aluna family he received freely, but finally his gamble was in vain.

Eventually, his son was not saved. All the pain seemed to prove nothing. Maybe he and Aluna are not two people who love each other, but two people who are being punished for their mistakes. Perhaps their togetherness was God's way of dampening the arrogance of both of them. Is that just that? Is there any other reason for them to stay together?

Satisfied on a pilgrimage to his son's grave, Evan went home. Before leaving he once again rubbed his son's headstone with a sense of pain.

...***...

"So Aluna came here just as Aunty was waiting for you to come home all day. You're not on the phone, pick up" explained his father.

"That. I guess I'm the same Aluna can't be together anymore. Aluna has been the same as me because of our children, but the reason for our togetherness is no longer there. There is no reason for me to block what is Aluna's happiness. If Aluna is not comfortable with me, I will release her" said Evan.

It makes his father and mother quiet. They don't want Evan and Aluna to get divorced. But if from Aluna's side can't, what can I do. If it continues to be maintained, maybe it will hurt Evan even more deeply.

"Tomorrow I'll take care of the divorce" said Evan.

"Are you sure, Van?!" ask her mother again. Evan smiled as he nodded.

"Don't till this momentary emotional decision, Van. Just because you're in a mess, you're being rash in your decision-making" his father advised.

"I thought, pah. Maybe this is the best" said Evan steady his father, trying to believe his father.

The family can only support Evan's decision. Tama approached her sister and patted her on the shoulder and hugged her. Although Evan looks tough, he knows for sure this is also very heavy for Evan to decide.

Evan returned the embrace of his brother tightly and warmly. At least he's not alone in going through this. He knows his family is the best he has right now.

Rima looked at Evan with a broken and sad feeling. Although he did not like Evan but when he began to know Evan, he knew Evan was a sincere person. Quiet but full of understanding and compassion. Why can't Aluna see the good in Evan, so easily turned away.

***

Aluna went through her lonely days in the room empty without her presence, she kept thinking about Evan's arrival. Why did Evan go home before greeting her. What's he looking at? maybe Evan thinks he and Soni are really in a relationship. Why does Soni keep bothering him.

Not long after Aluna's phone rang. That's a phone from Dea. Aluna was not excited at the moment, until she ignored the call from Dea.

There was no long call from Soni. Aluna is very upset to hear Soni's current name, until

THE TAAAKKKK.....

The phone broke on the floor of Aluna to the floor of her room, so it scattered on the floor because it broke. But Aluna acted as if nothing had happened. Now he is too sad and does not want to be disturbed.

***

On the other hand Evan's been busy taking care of their divorce papers. Unbeknownst to Aluna, Evan is determined to divorce from Aluna. The conflict that has been going on between them, makes Evan unsure that their relationship is based on love.

He felt that all they had been doing was guilt and responsibility, so it was not right to continue being forced. There are often fights between them. It's all hard to get in the flower. With or without Soni.

Although the divorce also left Evan injured, he cried in his room alone. He feels unable to lose Aluna, but they are also unlikely to be together.

SERIATE...
