LOVE THAT IS IGNORED

Chapter 42. Finally Separated

Every meeting will have a farewell. What is called separation will certainly cause injury to those who experience it.

Today the decision of the divorce trial of Arumi and Gibran was read out. The judge granted divorce from Arumi. They finally officially divorced.

Gibran asked Arumi for time to talk. The woman took her to the nearest cafe from the religious court office.

Gibran looked at Arumi's face carefully. The woman he used to waste.

He used to think Arumi must be the most hurt if he decided to end their marriage. But it turns out that God reversed his feelings, at this time Gibran felt the most hurt to accept this separation.

"Arumi, there's something I want to get clear about Joana. I don't want to defend myself, but just to prove to you that I've never gone too far in my relationship with Joana."

"What do you mean by Gibran."

Gibran hands down his cell phone that contains Joana's confession, if they never slept together.

"Let's hear the tape and see the video" Gibran said.

Arumi listened to the voice recording on Gibran's phone. It also turned on the video that Gibran was pointing at.

After hearing and seeing it, Arumi returned the phone to Gibran's hand.

"It can't change everything that's happened, Mas" Arumi murmured. His voice could still be captured clearly in Gibran's ears.

"I just want you to know, if I've never had any intercourse other than with you."

"I can only thank you for still taking care of your body only for me at our first wedding" Arumi said.

"But all that can't cover up if you share love, Mas. I was wrong, you never shared your love, because your love is only for Joana not for me" Arumi said.

"I'm sorry, Arumi. I realize Arumi, even though every second I say sorry, can't heal the wounds I've inflicted on your heart."

Arumi held onto her chest that felt tight. Admittedly, the betrayal committed by Gibran was very impregnable in his heart.

"I've forgiven everything that's happened, Mom. Right now I am trying to make peace with my heart. I accept all the destinies outlined in my life with sincerity."

"I hope that one day God will meet us again, but with a different heart and love. You and I love each other and accept all the advantages and disadvantages."

"Arumi, we are no longer tied to marriage. I can only hope you don't break the rope between us."

"For me the Mas family, it remains a part of my family."

"I want to say goodbye too. I got accepted to work in Brunei. One more week will go. I hope you'll still want to pay a visit to see Mom's condition."

"Mas will work for Brunei."

"This year or two I'm going to work there. Looking for capital to be able to open your own business later."

"Hopefully our efforts succeed." Arumi spoke in a soft voice. His tears were already creeking ready to spill.

Sometimes we have to let go of the people we love. In order to keep the heart able to survive without pain.

Gibran approached Arumi and sat down beside him. Gibran raised Arumi's chin, and wiped away her tears.

"Don't cry, because I don't deserve you to cry. I want to see you smile. It's enough that I've ever cut a wound in your heart. I hope you find happiness." Gibran gave his smile. Arumi smiled back at last.

I smile in front of you, not that I don't want to look fragile, but I just want you to calm down to see me seem to have moved on.

"Walk wherever you want, if your heart is tired and you don't find the heart you're looking for, look back, there's me still waiting for you" Gibran said.

Gibran brought his face closer and kissed Arumi on the forehead.
