Why Don't We Just Get Divorce?

"Kal," Gavin held Kalea's hand as the woman was stuffing their clothes into the suitcase.

Kalea brushed off Gavin's rough hands, reluctant to turn her head towards the man and continued her activities.

"Kal, we have to talk" said Gavin, still trying to steal the attention of Kalea although his efforts ended in vain because the woman instead walked to the corner of the room to pick up the dirty clothes of those who had originally been he just camped on the floor.

"Kal, pelase." Gavin held Kalea's hand again as she was about to walk into the closet to pick up another suitcase.

Kalea stopped her movement. Throwing the clothes he was carrying on the mattress then turned around and looked at Gavin flat.

"Later, at home." Said.

"Kal, man,"

"I said later!" sergeant Kalea. His tone was high, making Gavin instantly release his hand and stare in disbelief.

"Later, Gavin." Repeat Kalea, with a lower volume of sound, but with the same emphasis.

After that, Kalea moved back quickly to clean their clothes. Between clean clothes and dirty clothes already put in a different suitcase, ready to be transported into the car.

Then, before he walked out of the room, Kalea moved towards the nightstand, opening the bottom drawer where he kept two brown envelopes that disturbed his mood since a few days ago then brought the envelope in front of Gavin.

Without saying anything, Kalea handed the two envelopes to Gavin with a slight movement pushing into the male's chest. Then Kalea walked out of the room while dragging two suitcases in both hands.

Gavin looked at the two envelopes in his small hand. He was sure, the contents inside this envelope must not be much different from what was stored in the flash.

"Oh my God .. What should I do?"

...****************...

Along the way home, Kalea said nothing. His gaze was fixed straight ahead and he put on a flat face, which felt so unfamiliar in Gavin's eyes.

Not only refused to talk, Kalea also refused a lot of help he gave. The woman refused to open the door, refused help wearing a seatbelt and even refused when she intended to take over the suitcase from the small hands to be put in the trunk.

Kalea who was now sitting next to him, felt so foreign. It's as if what she saw from this damn flash drive had taken her old Kalea away.

Then Gavin's car arrived home. Kalea rushed to open the door and came down and closed the door again with a slamming motion then rushed towards the gate and opened it wide so that Gavin's car could enter.

Kalea pulled away to the right side, giving access for the Gavin monil to pass. Afterwards, he closed the gate and rushed into the house, ahead of Gavin who still had to drop their luggage from the trunk.

Inside, Kalea darted straight into the living room, sitting herself on the sofa as she tried to calm herself down and began to wobble as Gavin's footsteps drew closer.

"Ka"

"Sit down." Cut Kalea, without looking at Gavin at all. It was not that he wanted to look extremely angry, he was just afraid that his determination would waver if he looked directly at the man.

After exhaling out loud, Gavin took a sitting position next to Kalea. The two envelopes the woman said to her, she put them on the table, followed by a flash that she had kept in her pants pocket.

"Explain's." Todong Kalea direct, without further ado. He was also still reluctant to look at Gavin who was sitting to his right.

"Sorry," said Gavin.

"I don't need an apology, Gavin!" sergeant Kalea. Then he turned his head, only to turn back his eyes a few seconds later. "I want you to be clear with me. About who Irina was, and why you pretended you didn't know her back then." He continued, after struggling to lower the volume of his voice.

"Irina ... my boyfriend, Kal. It's been two years."

Kalea squeezed out the end of the dress she was wearing. Indeed, he wanted Gavin to be honest. But hearing the man could easily admit to everything, it turned out to make his chest even more tight. Though, he hoped Gavin would dodge. At least, he wanted Gavin to try to defend himself.

"Why did you marry me, if in fact you already had a boyfriend?"

Gavin did not answer. I don't know, he himself didn't know how to explain everything to Kalea. Because, everything is too complicated. It was too long and could take all day if he wanted to explain to Kalea in detail.

Not hearing any answer coming out of Gavin's lips made the bull Kalea turn her head. "Why silence? You don't dare to tell me the same, if your goal is to marry me that is actually so that you can still maintain your position in the company? So that you don't get kicked out because you're not your biological child, are you?!"

"What?!" Kalea shouted back. During his life, this was the first time he had shouted at such a loud volume and full of emotion like this. Even when Karel made such an outrageous act, Kalea never felt as angry as she is now.

"What's? It would be the same for me if that wasn't true! Vivid!" kalea's emotions are starting to get out of hand.

But Gavin remained silent. The man's lips seemed locked, and it made Kalea even more upset. Though, he hoped that Gavin would open his mouth soon. It is okay if what the man says is not entirely true, it is okay if there are one or two things that are exaggerated. Really, It's okay.

"What else is lying to you?" kalea asked in the end, because Gavin still did not want to open his voice. The man just continued to stare at her, which he himself did not even know what the meaning of the gaze was.

"In addition to the fact that you are not your biological child and Irina is your boyfriend, what else is lying? You also lied when you said you only wanted me? You lied when you said you loved me? You lied about whatever you told me? Yeah, right?!"

Gavin shook his head hard. "I never lie when I say you're all I want, Kal. I also didn't lie when I said love to you."

"And you expect me to believe?"

"Kal...."

Kalea turned her eyes back, rubbing her face rough before blurting out. "I want a divorce," which Gavin immediately opposed.

"No!"

Kalea looked again. "Why? We are afraid that we will be immediately kicked out of the company if we are not my husband? Huh?!" sindir Kalea with a mocking smile.

"Kala! I told you, I married you not because of that!"

"Certain what?! What are you marrying me for?!"

Because you're the childhood friend I've been looking for, Kal. Because you are my reason for staying alive until now. Gavin could only say that in his heart, because he did not have the courage to confess. He did not dare to face the response of Kalea who knew that it turned out that childhood friends who had left him without saying goodbye years ago came to him again to bring new problems. Gavin was too scared, and embarrassed.

"Can't you answer?"

"I don't want a divorce."

"I want to." Kalea. In fact, he himself was still doubtful at this crazy decision. She was afraid that this decision would make Mama and Papa sad. More than that, she doesn't want to make Mama and Papa feel guilty for getting her married to Gavin.

"No, not."

"Silk!"

"Whatever! Obviously, I will not divorce you. Never will, Kal."

Kalea was completely at a loss for words over Gavin's response just now. He really did not understand, what was really inside Gavin's head at the moment?

"Love me a little more time. I'll sort out all my business with Irina, I beg you."

"No." Kalea said without thinking.

"Kal, please..."

"I'm still getting divorced." The final. Mama and Papa's business, let him think about it later. Now, he just wants to get away from Gavin while his rational mind is still functioning. Because to be honest, he was afraid that his heart would melt and his desire to part would slowly dissipate if he continued procrastinating.

Kalea did not want to hurt herself more deeply. With his feelings for Gavin also not that big, isn't it still easy for him to let go of this man?

"I'll take care of everything, you don't need to spend energy or money for our divorce process." Kalea said last time before she got off the sofa and immediately darted away up the stairs towards the second floor.

"Wait, Kal! I was horrified first!" gavin shouted, but in vain because Kalea had fully cared for the ears.

Each rung of the ladder that the woman climbed like a supply of determination that made her decision to separate more and more rounded.
