One year passed.
"I want a divorce!"
So easy that sentence was said from Tere's sweet lips. The woman who married William 5 years ago.
"Divorce?" I gripped in disbelief. William put on an emotional face, then sat next to his wife who was leaning on the back of the bed.
"Don't you joke, Re? Don't you feel sorry for Gibran? My two nieces and nephews were left by their parents. I don't want Gibran to feel the same way. Please think carefully. Our marriage is not short, Re. five years is not a long time." William looked at the wife's face. His feelings were mixed after hearing Tere's words.
"But I don't love you, William. For five years I have tried so hard to love you. In fact ...all those feelings slowly dissipate. I can only love you for three years." Next the woman turned away because she managed to get news about her ex—Rian.
Not to be outdone, Tere returned William's gaze even closer. Silent for a moment, the two locked their eyes on each other.
That's true what people say. Marriage relationships that start with matchmaking are not like films and novels that always end happily. That's how Tere felt when he was betrothed to William seven years ago.
The two of them were unable to avoid an arranged marriage due to Gibran's presence. You could say, the child that made Tere forced to marry William.
A dipping scene that they accidentally did in a drunken state, has managed to present a life in Tere's womb. Rian who was none other than Tere's girlfriend at that time, was the one who united the two of them.
"Re," William tried to touch his wife's arm. Hurriedly Tere brushed off the hand with a look of disgust.
"Don't touch me!" he cried with perfect eyeballs.
It's been a year since William and Tere didn't have sex. Although they always sleep in the same room, but the two just sleep without any romantic scenes on the bed as done by other married couples. The demons that once possessed both of them were no longer willing to interfere. They only want to whisper crimes to couples who are not halal.
"I'm your husband, Re! I have the right to touch you whenever I want," William denies.
Miris. Anyone who does not know will assume that their relationship is fine all along. In fact, their status does not change just a marriage on paper. Away from marriage like a normal human being.
"I'm sorry if all this time we have not maintained the harmony of our household. But allow me to improve" said William who tried to give in. In fact, Terelah who had been away from William all this time. In addition to asking for a monthly allowance, Tere dislikes heart-to-heart communication with her husband.
"No, Will. This isn't all your fault. I'm the one who's wrong. Let's end our relationship well. I really don't want to put this off." Tere lowered in confidence. Scratch an incision wound on the side of William's heart at this time.
"No!" Tere replied loudly. "I want to get back with Rian. Because I married you, Rian was depressed and almost lost his life. If I had known that time Rian was so hurt, I wouldn't have taken his advice to marry you."
Again, the presence of the former. The most influential figure that can destroy William and Tere's relationship.
Shifting his hair back, William still continues to try to convince his wife with a million persuasions.
"You don't think about Gibran's feelings? Is there just a name of a coconut in your heart? What about your real son? Gibran is your flesh and blood, Re!" While holding Tere's hand gently.
"I love Gibran. But I want to get back with Rian. The man needed me, he was traumatized by the betrayal I had done to him at the time, Will," soaked Tere with tears that began to plunge through his cheeks.
"Is there no love for you anymore?"
Tere shook his head with confidence. Where William took off a bitter smile with a forced face.
"alright. Let's get a divorce, but before that, I'll put a condition on it."
"What condition? Whatever it is, I'll do as long as you agree to end our relationship" Tere replied, looking enthusiastic.
Ck. William withstood the turmoil of amara in his heart. Even the woman was willing to do anything for a farewell.
"The terms are easy, I'd like you to act like a normal wife for a month like everyone else. Take care of Gibran affectionately. Dan—" William deliberately paused his speech.
"Serve me every night."
