Love Me Tender's

Managing Divorce

The night was getting late but Indira had not yet managed to close her eyes. The events at the red light seemed to dance in his mind made him anxious and wanted to immediately take care of his divorce with Theo.

"What I really expected. Why does it hurt to see my husband with another woman. Do I still love him?" gumam Indira monologue.

Indira tried to close her eyes again and cast away Theo's shadow from her mind. "I have to sleep!" he said force himself.

...---...

In a different place inside the room, Theo felt the same way. His eyes were hard to shut when he remembered his son who was so familiar with other men. He felt jealous of his son looking at the other man so happily.

His body continued to move violently when his son's cheerful laughter seemed to be heard in his ears. "Will he be that happy with me" he murmured.

Then his hand moved to look at all the lighting in his room, perhaps he could fall asleep.

Drrt. Drrt

Theo gasped in shock when the silent darkness of his phone suddenly shook. "Who doesn't have a rule calls this hour" he said.

His eyes widened when he saw the name of the contact on his phone screen. "Dira.." he muttered. Theo quickly received the phone call.

"Hello, Dira", greeted Theo with a feeling of pleasure.

"Hello. I'll just tell you the point. Tomorrow I hope you come to trial to take care of our divorce papers", Indira said from across the phone.

Theo was silent for a moment. "Why did you call me in the middle of the night, just to tell me this?" asked Theo in annoyance.

"I've said it clearly. Then I'll close the phone."

"Wait first! Is this how you honor your husband?"

Indira did not answer Theo's questions nor did she disconnect the phone.

"I knew you couldn't sleep tonight, so you called me" Theo said. Then he grunted softly. "I'm the same. I'm sure you want to know the woman you saw in the car with me. She's Reihan's uncle's only daughter. He likes me, but I don't like him", Theo said honestly.

For a moment Theo was happy because Indira was still listening to his words. "One thing you should know is that I only love you. I realized it after you left me when I lost my short-term memory" she continued.

Theo stopped his words waiting for a reaction from Indira. But Indira remained silent.

"Hello... Dira... Are you still listening to me?" ask Theo.

"Hello... Who is this?" ask the voice of the child. Theo guessed it was his son.

"Rafa, you're Rafa, aren't you, son?"

"Om, who knows my name?"

Rafa why pick up Mama's phone without permission? Shouted Indira's voice which made Rafa shocked.

Rafa heard a hello, so Rafa replied Ma.

Yes, you went to sleep again. Indira's Word.

Okay Ma.

Theo overheard the conversation of the mother and child. Without feeling tears should flow from his eyes.

"I'm waiting for the trial tomorrow!" indira said while hanging up the phone.

Theo threw his phone on the bed. Then walk back and forth with a huff feeling.

"Tomorrow morning I must immediately tell Grandpa about this", he muttered as he ruffled his hair.

...---...

Morning arrived quickly. As usual, Theo's family gathered at the dinner table to study breakfast. And how shocked they were when they saw the figure of a man sitting on a chair with his eyes.

"You startled Mommy" she said, holding her chest. "Didn't you sleep all night?"

Theo just stared at the mother with a lethargic face. "Theo has trouble sleeping Mom. Last night Dira called asking Theo to come to court today to take care of our divorce."

Queen sigh. "Mommy knows Dira must be very disappointed with you."

"Uncle Ti, has anyone hit uncle's eye?" cha Cha asks who came with his parents.

"Hus, don't talk carelessly, son", the mother advised.

"But pity Uncle Ti, Ma."

"Uncle is okay, baby. It's just black dye" he replied lying.

"Not explained, brother. It's getting more complicated."

"Cha cha wants dye like Uncle Ti, Ma."

Suddenly all the family stared at Cha cha with a glare.

"Ooo.." Cha cha replied by rounding his mouth.

"Did you go to the office this morning?" asked Saka when he had just sipped some of the glass.

Theo turned towards Saka. "Looks not, I have to take care of my divorce first."

"Owh, then I'll go alone."

"Daddy will come with you" said King interrupting Saka's words.

"Good, Daddy", reply Saka.

After they finished breakfast. Raja and Saka leave for the office and bring Cha Cha to take him to school.

Theo went from his seat to pick up the Grandfather who was going to join him in the trial. Now at the dinner table is left the Queen and her daughter.

"This morning Mommy is going to your Grandpa's office. Do you want to come, son?"

"What need, Mom?"

"Your grandfather gave up his company to Mommy before, but since Mommy got pregnant and gave birth to you two Grandpa took control with his confidants."

Mangosteen tamara. "So now who's leading Grandpa's company, Mom?"

"There's Grandpa's confidant. But he can't stay in the leadership position forever."

"I mean Mommy, Grandpa's giving Mommy back the company?" tanyakanya.

"Not to be handed over to Mommy, but to Mommy's son."

"But Brother Theo is still busy with Daddy's company. She'll be overwhelmed, Mom."

"It's Mommy's son, it's just Theo?"

Tamara frowned while pointing at her face. "Baby, Mom?"

The queen nodded quickly. "Yes, who else."

"But Ara doesn't have the ability to be a leader, Mom. After all, Ara still had a child, didn't Mommy stop because there was Brother Theo and Ara?"

The queen grunted softly. "At a time when Mommy wasn't leading the company, your grandfather was still strong to work for. But now Grandpa has never been to the office at all. Mommy was afraid the current leader thought he would rule forever over Grandpa's company."

"Well, Ara came with Mommy to see the situation there."

"We leave in half an hour. You go get ready."

"Okay, Mom."

The Queen asked Bi Iyem to clean up the dining table after they finished breakfast.

In a different place Indira is preparing to take her son to school.

"Rafa, let's go, son", take him in with a slight shout.

"Yes, briefly Ma", said Rafa as he ran towards Indira. "Come, Ma" he said with a smile.

Indira took his son's hand. Then they walked to the exit.

After the door locked Indira squatted down to align her body with Rafa. "Maybe, Mama's gonna pick up Rafa a little late."

"Morning, Dira. Morning, Rafa", said Daven who suddenly came to them.

"Uncle Daven.." cried Rafa scattered into Daven's arms.

Daven returned his embrace. Then he gently jerked Rafa's body. "Rafa wants to go to school?"

"Yes, Uncle dong. It's a uniform to school" she points to the clothes she's wearing.

"Uncle can come?" ask with enthusiasm.

"It just so happens. If you're not busy today, can you drop off and pick up Rafa to school for today only", Indira tree.

"could certainly. How could I refuse a child as cute and adorable as Rafa."

"Thank you then. You know where the school is, right?"

"Calm down. I know almost every area in this city" he replied.

Then Daven carried Rafa and walked to the elevator door, Indira followed them from behind.
