Life After Forty's
Episode 19 Designing a Beautiful Farewell



Barely hit


Nine nights when Monrue arrives at Amanda's house. The house is deserted.  Because Citra is on vacation with


Fauzan to Semarang, and will only return Sunday.  Because Amanda's only plan was to


alone with Monrue and have delivered to Fauzan far away.  Monrue finds Amanda lying in the


his bed.  Monrue touched


amanda's Shoulder.  Amanda wakes up and


looks like it's ready for Monrue to come to him.


            Amanda smiled briefly. “Already


coming?”


            Monrue replied with a smile.


            Amanda got up from her sleep and


sitting in front of Monrue so upright.  “I've contacted bang Haris (read: their lawyer when they


make a marriage certificate), he will prepare documents for you to read


as talak pledge.  All documents will be


finish monday noon.”


            Amanda gave me that information


makes Monrue shocked.


            “You have two options, you


stay here, or we're way out celebrating our wedding day, and


monday you read talak, or we can separate from now and meet


again Monday, for our divorce signature?”  Amanda said so firmly, the same


there was absolutely no other choice for Monrue.


            Monrue was still confused.


            “One more time, maybe we need


Word as witness Monday tomorrow.  I


also will make Fauzan as witness.”


            It all seems so planned.  Amanda was really talking without feeling.


            “What is your decision?”


            Monrue was shocked when she had to


severing.  “What's that's the only option?”


            “Already, no drama.


What are your options?”


            “Yes already, we go night


these.  We go celebrate our love.”


            “It's night, where are you going?”


            “Ke anywhere, we walk night


this.” Determined Monrue, he should celebrate what they should be celebrating.


            Amanda followed the request


Monrue, because he's actually ready, so he's just replacing


clothes to go.


            Monrue also ordered a taxi to take her


they're going to the airport.


            They also flew to Bali


last plane that night. They will be there until Monday morning.  Hadeuh, not yet finished jetlag, must fly again.  Amanda's really tired.  I think his head is about to break.


Arriving


in a hotel room in Hard Rock, Amanda


really tired.  Emotions and power


drained that night.  “I slept


yes, I was cape!”  he's very


asking for Monrue's understanding.


            Monrue just nodded.


            As soon as she took off her veil, Amanda did


dropped directly into bed.  He soon fell asleep too.


            Monrue was really upset and


terrified.  He can't imagine


living alone without Amanda.  He spent the night


I could only hug Amanda from behind.  Caressing hair.  Even Amanda


he didn't even give her a chance to apologize.  Amanda is numb.  He really kept his promise. Nonexistent


second chance.


Monrue just got


fell asleep when Amanda woke him up for the Fajr prayer.  Without saying much Monrue woke up and


sholat.  Then he went to bed again, Amanda


it seems so too.  They're too


tired last night so it takes a longer rest.  In his sleep Monrue still thinks


how to make Amanda change her mind.


            Both of them woke up again


eight morning.  Shower and prepare to


breakfast breakfast.  Still in that mood


reposeful.  Monrue was confused how


how to melt the atmosphere, Amanda who looks clear she was so disappointed.  The atmosphere of breakfast was still quiet, too,


still in each other's minds.  Amanda tried hard to regulate her emotions to be friendly to her husband,


considering this man lived one more day to be her husband.  But he was hurt, however hard


he tried to behave as the result became insincere.  Monrue appreciates Amanda's efforts to make


the mood gets better.  But he was too


confused to behave.  Both become


so clumsy.


            They finally decided to


back to the room, as luxurious and as delicious as any breakfast served, it tastes


become bland in these conditions.


            “Where are we going?” Amanda sat in


the only seat in the room.


            Monrue doesn't actually have any


the plan.  Monrue comes up to Amanda, she's


he hugged Amanda's thighs. “Sorry.”  His request in the last attempt.


            “Damn


it Monrue, what do you want?” Amanda was so angry. “From the beginning I told you,


if you are bored just say, don't lose me like this!”


            “Sorry.” Monrue still did not move.


            “Nothing is necessary


excused.  I just can't afford it


with your nature that cannot change.”


            “I will change.  I-i promise. Sorry..”


            Amanda was really angry, though,


monrue pushed to the point of falling. “One more time you say sorry, I


back to Jakarta at this time also.” Amanda got up and prepared to leave.


            Monrue caught him, immediately,


hugging Amanda. “Ok Ok... don't go!” Monrue surrendered. “No more sorry,


we enjoy today yes.” Pinta Monrue while hugging Amanda tightly.  He really felt that embrace.  A hug that only he could feel


now it's.  There's no more tomorrow.


            Monrue surrenders to Amanda's verdict.


Their relationship should be finished tomorrow.  So he tried hard to make this day beautiful for both.  They spend time just around


Kuta.  Because their time is so


curt.  Walk on the beach,


enjoy sunset, romantic dinner in


the best restaurant there.  There is live music when they eat


nightly.  The singer realized


monrue's presence allowed Monrue to contribute songs.  Monrue was reluctant, but why not


thought her? Who knows after listening to herself sing Amanda got carried away


atmosphere and melt? Why not try? Right now, whatever way he wants to do it


let Amanda change her mind.  Then Monrue


also tried to seduce Amanda with the song “You


are the reason”.


I’d climb every


mountaineering,


Swim every ocean


Just to be with you


To fix what I’ve


broken….


Amanda


enjoying the melodious voice of Monrue, his heart was torn apart, he really was


lulled with the strains of songs sung by Monrue, was able to make it


change minds? Hm.no the decision is so unanimous.  Monrue could only smile bitterly, well…


the name is also a business, there is no harm in trying.  Afterwards, Monrue hugs Amanda at all times, regardless of her condition, Monrue


not at all concerned with his surroundings, really not caring about them

recording the scene, photographing them, Monrue was very conscious, but he was not


cares. Because he knew after this it would all be over.  That night Monrue took Amanda


make love.  There is absolutely no


rejection from Amanda.  Both try


hard makes a beautiful night. Though their minds are tormented with shadows


what will happen tomorrow.


            They returned to Jakarta with


the morningest plane at 6.  Landing in Jakarta at 6:30. Because


indeed Bali is an hour faster than Jakarta, as if they only flew 30


minute.  Amanda got word, that the staff


bang Haris who is also a young lawyer will come to Amanda's house


13.30.  Bang Haris apologized


around the same time, he contacted Firman because of Monrue's looks


still reluctant.  After that he too


contacting Fauzan.  Ask for help


he came to his house without telling me what was going on.  Just asking for help is important.  Fauzan also supported him even though actually as a GM he was enough


busy.  But what the hell is not doing


Amanda's.  Monrue looks so riled up.


But he prefers to be quiet.  All


amanda's on her way home.


            They arrived at the house at the beat


ten.  There is still enough time to


prepare everything.  Amanda is not


while cooking, he called the restaurant to prepare lunch


for the guests who will come.  Afterwards slowly he prepared Monrue's belongings as he would


leave this house forever.  Amanda


it was so busy, whereas Monrue just sat speechless in the central room.  Thinking what would happen made him


no energy to move.


            Firman and Fauzan came first


than the lawyers.  They're kind of


astonished by the look of Monrue's face that was so sad.  Amanda invited them to eat


afternoon while waiting for other guests.  Neither Monrue nor Amanda said the purpose of the two was invited


come at this time. There is absolutely no shadow of what will happen.  Finally, the four had lunch


joint.  Not long after two


lawyers from the Harris and co bureau of lawyers came in.  They were asked by Amanda to


join the lunch.  Saw


the arrival of two Monrue lawyers is getting worse.  Word confused with condition


her best friend.  Monrue's so pale, like


almost fainted.


            After lunch is over, the second


lawyers start leading the show.  They


explaining the procedures to be carried out, Monrue read out the pledge of talaq


in front of the witness, and then he and the two witnesses signed the document


those.  The reading will later


recorded as evidence.  Lawyers too


suggest after this should be taken to court to get a letter


officially.  That's when the Word and


Fauzan realized what was happening and why Monrue was so riled up.  Awakened is already a rigid noon mystery.


            It was time for Monrue to read


talaqs.  He read it that way


stammered, the look of his face was not because.  He finally cried at the end of his reading.  She hugged Amanda that way


tightly.  Many times he said


sorry.  Amanda also took a little water


his eye.  Even if this is what he wants, but still


weight for both.


            After a second little bit of conversation


the lawyer went home.  One hour


then the Word took Monrue out of the house. Hadeh, Word is dizzy

bother about the business. Once again Monrue hugged Amanda and uttered


sorry.  Amanda could only smile


let go of her ex-husband.


            He and Fauzan are alone in


that house.  Immediately Citra will


school home.


            “You're okay Man?”  Fauzan asked carefully.  His intention to return to the office was broken


when you know what happened.


            Amanda smile. “No way


I'm doing fine.  It's sky


collapse know no.”


            Fauzan was confused, absolutely not


there are tears or sad faces.  She herself is also confused, she is happy with Amanda's separation, but really


it's not ethical if he's happy.  But she's sure Amanda's a strong woman.  And it's probably too soon if he's a lot


ask what really happened. She'll know slowly.


Days


furthermore Amanda often looks pensive.  If there is anyone else around him, he


it will look fine immediately.  Trying hard to toughen up, actually Fauzan knew that Amanda was


wounded.  But he doesn't want to rush


forcing Amanda to tell a story, leaving Amanda alone but still


in his supervision is considered the best thing at the moment.  Fauzan also slowly told Citra and


Bimo about what just happened.  The image is sad anyway, after all he also loves his daddy.  But once again


he was trying to understand the meaning of farewell.  Just like it happened between his father and mother.  Bimo in the Netherlands only advised


A way to comfort their mother.


            Several times Monrue was seen


trying to reach Amanda, sometimes Amanda accepts, sometimes she


resist.  He just doesn't want Monrue


too often contact him, however they each must


living life by yourself now.  But he also tried to make conditions that they did not need


hostile because they have separated.  Trying to be an adult, even if it's hard.


            A few weeks after the breakup


Monrue and Amanda.  Amanda's coming


Sean's son Monrue, he comes in tears asking Amanda to come back


to hisfather.  Sean said he was very


dear Amanda, I love Bimo and Citra and Fauzan.  At that time there was Citra and Fauzan who were confused


with Sean holding Amanda. Fauzan tried to calm the boy down.


Convincing that they will still love Sean, will still treat him


as part of this family.  But


it seems Sean is still not satisfied, finally he hugged Citra, and promised


in five years he will come to apply for Citra, so that he can return


as a member of this family.


            Hearing that Citra so sumringah


blissfully.  Amanda and Fauzan live


panicked. Hey boy, don't rush to make promises! You're 20 years old, and


Image is still 15 years old.  Fauzan


trying to convince Sean not to promise anything. This family will


he remains his family forever.  Finally


sean can relax.  He was after


two hours convinced the return.  But


he kept his promise to Citra.  Fauzan and Amanda could only ring around.


After one


months apart, Amanda contacts Monrue, asking her to come to her house,


taking his stuff is still left behind.  When Monrue comes to the house, Amanda welcomes him with


amiable.  There's Fauzan and Citra on Sunday


that afternoon.  Monrue seems to have come a long way


calmer, although it still seems that he is still not sincerely accepting


his farewell.  Yes, he is the one


make trouble.  Amanda could do it


smiling sincerely welcomed Monrue.  Fauzans


quietly observing the maturity of the two.  It looks like there is still love left in both but it just seems to be


scraps.


            “How are you doing?” Amanda asked


sincere when they were both sitting in the living room.  Amanda gave me a cup of coffee


Monrue.


            “I miss you.”  Apparently Monrue was still looking for a crack


possibility to return.


            Amanda just smiled at it.


            “You didn't miss me?”  Monrue. “We're back, but times


it's I'll mean it, I want it all official Manda.”


            Amanda's distraught. “Hei, who wants to go back


who, why have you spoken officially all.”


            Disappointed monrue. “No-ener


any hope Man?”


            Amanda smiled faintly.


            “Because I'm not forgiven?”


            “Sorry to be given, the opportunity to


no more.”


            Same is lying.


            “Already, you will get a replacement


I am more understanding.  I don't


can.”


            “I just want you Manda.”


            Manda smiled again.  But try to be firm. “If you are still


discuss this, you do not need to come here again!”


            Monrue quiet.


            “You can, I can too


could.  We will remain friends.”


Amanda tried to cheer up.  But he was too


still trying to heal his wound.  Losing is never good.
