MARRIED

Farewell

"Bbj ... Be honest now to me, do you still love Nadine?" asked Julia with a broken heart. Not ready to hear what's coming out of Ben's mouth.

There was a long gap ... It was as if Ben was thinking hard.

"Bbj ... " Julia ventured out, ready to hear whatever it was that Ben was going to say.

"Jul ... Didn't you give me 3 years? There are still 2 years left and I will use that time as much as I can," Ben replied finally with a look of avoiding Julia.

"Bbj ... I think my patience is over. Do not force and torture ourselves. If it is so hard to love me ... Right now I'm taking you off Ben, too" Julia said with a sore heart. It's hard to say but it feels so good now.

Ben was silent for a long time. I don't know what he's thinking.

"I can't get away from you Jul ... I love you, I don't want someone else to have you." Ben said to himself.

"Bbj ... We seek the path of our happiness. Remember we will always be friends, if you have trouble I will always be there for you" Julia said.

Ben seemed to flinch and finally now his eyes were staring at Julia's reddened eyes full of tears that were ready to flow.

"Jul, but ... "

"Ben, I will always love you. If you don't let me go, you don't love me. I'll be fine, don't worry." A forced smile was seen on the corner of Julia's lips.

A single tear finally escaped falling on Julia's pale cheek.

Ben's hand touched her cheek and wiped Julia's tears. Julia's on her chest.

"Julia ..I'm sorry, I haven't been able to make you happy, all this time" Ben said with great sadness.

Suddenly at this time Ben's heart felt broken, failed and at the same time sore. Can't feel like taking Julia out of her arms.

Julia breaks away from Ben's embrace. If it goes on, his heart will wobble again and he will never be able to take Ben off.

"Jul ... "

Ben kept staring at Julia, his tears piled up in his eyes. She wanted to cry with Julia, regretting everything she had done. Or perhaps regretting what he never did for Julia, his best friend.

"Julia, I love you" Ben said, holding back his grief. His voice was raucous withstanding the sobs he was holding.

"Ben, thank you for everything. I will love you forever."

It's been a long night for Ben and Julia. It was as if the two realized that this was their last night together as husband and wife.

"Jul, how do we tell our parents?" ben asked at last with distant eyes.

"I'll tell my parents and you tell your parents. I'll find an apartment tomorrow. This house is yours Ben," Julia said.

"Jul, you stay in this house. I gave it to you. Please take it," said Ben begging.

"All right, I'll stay here. Thank you Ben," said Julia Lirih held back her grief.

"Thank you Julia." There was sadness in Ben's voice.

Julia and Ben hug each other one last time. Both of them could not hold back the tears that continued to flow on the cheeks. Didn't expect it would be this soon the husband and wife bond would end like this.Repent what they haven't felt together.

But ... the decision has been made and this is how it ends.

Ben and Julia will walk alone in search of the love and happiness that should be theirs.

That night Julia slept alone in her room for the first time. Although Ben does not treat her as a wife in general, sleeping with Ben seems to have become a habit in the past year.

Sepi ... Alone ... Julia has to start getting used to it. Ben had her removed and there was no way she would pull him back.

***

Julia did not expect everything to go so easily for her. Papa Mama although surprised and regretted the decision that Julia took, but still support whatever the decision Julia.

Ben's parents are so, although sad but they still think Julia is their child.

Ben and Julia's divorce went well. Five months after filing, it has finally been established that Julia and Ben have officially divorced.

There was no confusion during the court proceedings. Julia never once communicated with Ben other than when meeting in court in order to hear.

Julia also withdrew from the association with her friends. The time is only spent working or meeting with Papa Mama who is always there to support him.

There are times when Julia feels down and feels like a failure as a wife. But only to God did he surrender.

Sometimes Karel comes trying to accompany Julia, but Julia subtly stays away from Karel for a while. He wanted to have time to get his life back.

***

Week changing day ... Month after month has passed.

Julia finds herself back. Although he still remembered his memories with Ben, it was as if everything was like a dream to him.

A cheerful smile was again seen on Julia's face which was increasingly shining. Julia's friends also feel happy with Julia who returned to her former self.

That afternoon after work, Karel came to Julia's desk.

"Julia, are you going home yet?" ask Karel.

"Have known it was still. Yes, you must go home, I'm going to sleep here," said Julia while turning off her computer screen.

"Haha .. His name is also pleasantries. Jul, we go to caffe yuk ... We haven't had coffee together in a long time" asked Karel.

Several times his invitation was always rejected Julia, but he never wanted to give up.

"Ehm ... Alright. I also missed my caffe first" said Julia, who agreed to Karel's request.

Karel greeted him with a smile on the corner of her lips. Finally Julia was willing to accept his invitation after so many times refused.

Julia and Karel chose a seat in the corner of the room away from the sight of the passerby. Because this coffee is very crowded at home office hours this afternoon.

Julia and Karel both enjoy a favorite cup of coffee and a snack they order.

"Julia, tomorrow is Sunday, will you please not accompany me to my friend's wedding invitation?" karel asked with a smile that was always visible on her lips.

"Ehm .. Will you?" Julia weighed in, confused to decide.

"Come on Jul, after that I'll buy you a coffee," persuaded Karel.

"Why ... ?"

"Julia, are you deliberately teasing me?"

"Who is flirting?! Okay, I'm with you but there's a condition" Julia said.

"Use all terms ... Geez," said Karel, who looked more and more at Julia, increasingly anxious to pinch her delicate cheeks.

But ... instantaneously Karel was silent when he saw Julia who looked stunned. Unknowingly, Karel followed the direction of Julia's gaze which continued to look at the entrance of the caffe.

"Jul ... "

"Eh ... Wh-what was Karel? You asked what?" saut Julia stammered.

Well .. of course Julia was surprised to see at the entrance. Ben and Nadine were holding hands with cheerful smiles on their lips.

At that time, Nadine also saw Julia who was also in the cafe. Nadine is seen pulling Ben's hand to follow him to the table where Julia and Karel are.

Julia gulped her saliva, arranging her irregular beating heart. After not meeting Ben for a long time, he must be ready to face Ben who currently seems to have a relationship with Nadine.

"Hello Julia, long time no see. How are you?" tanya Nadine cheerfully wrestled Ben's arm spoiled.

"Hello Nadine, Ben. Have seat. Oiya, this is my friend, Karel," said Julia nervously.

"No need Jul, we can not sit here for long because after this we have to go to the boutique for dress fittings" said Nadine with a smile that seemed to mock Julia.

"Oh yes already," said Julia reluctant to continue the pleasantries that made her even more uncomfortable.

Ben looked silent like Nadine's bodyguard.

"Julia, you didn't ask me what dress fittings?" asked Nadine who looked disappointed.

"What dress fittings?" asked Julia lazily.

"Wedded gaun dong. Next month, Ben and I are getting married. I will send you an invitation as soon as possible" Nadine explained with a mocking smile as if saying 'I won, Ben is mine.'
