My Sorting Comes When He's Already Gone

My Sorting Comes When He's Already Gone
Farewell to Bella and Gibran.



"When I tried to shake hands with Bella's family, especially the former Father-in-law. He brushed my hand violently.


“Laki-men cowards! Poetry!” My father-in-law threw his spit in any place. “Laki-man loser, come take my son well. You throw away like trash with as good as you can! If it wasn't for my son Bella. Your life is finished in my hands!” He clenched his hand tightly and wanted to punch me with his big hand. Fortunately the mother-in-law prevented her husband from causing a commotion.


“Already, Sir. Don't you dirty your hands with a lowly man like him. Let him live with his chosen woman. Our son has survived from adulterers like him.”

My mother-in-law's words were so sharp, it hurt, angry, disappointed with her words that were so humble to me. I thought my mother-in-law was the quiet type of person, in fact her words really hurt.


"You're right, Mah. Our son does not deserve a cowardly man like him!" Again he pointed at me with his finger. "Hey, traitorous men! Look me! Even though I failed to become a good man in the eyes of the surrounding community, but I managed to become the honorable head of the family for my son and wife. Abstinence to me is a wife who has fought for her husband and child." My in-laws voice was loud and loud, to be honest. I was so ashamed of him. Even if he's an ex-convict. But he was able to maintain his dignity as the head of the family.


I can only be ashamed and helpless. I am also confused by this situation. What am I supposed to do? Yes, God help me. I can't stand Bella's parents.


"Gibrans?" I immediately raised my face as my name was called by my in-laws.


"After officially speaking with my son Bella, never meet with Bella and my granddaughter. If you want to meet them both. Then it's your neck that I'll slash with a machete!" My eyes were wide with the threat of my in-laws. My mouth stuttered with his non-playful words.


"You shouldn't have done this to Bella. You take my son well. Then why'd you dump him like a piece of trash, and you didn't even deliver him to me, Dad."


"Sa-I'm sorry, sir. I realized that this was all my fault. I'm sorry I let go of Bella without me taking her to Dad and Mom."


"Squeaky and greedy people like you, will never be satisfied with what God gives you. God gave you a diamond. You foolishly picked up a piece of trash by the side of the road! And litter your body with cheap women!" My in-laws ruffled their waists with emotions that were out of control again.Even their breathing had gone up and down.


"Gibrans?" I turned towards the source of the voice, it turned out that there was my mother as well as Ayu. When they approached me, my mother was so shocked by the presence of her ex-made.


“Loh, Mr. Sugeng and Ms. Sri. Did it come here too? How are you?” asked my mother, pleasantries were only considered the wind then by Bella's parents. And made my mother's face redden Manahan ashamed.


“Bu, we're going from here. The trial will soon begin.” I looked back at my two in-laws and smiled at them. “Bu, Sir. I say goodbye first. The trial is about to start.”


“Go away, I am also fed up with your rich male loser models. Never again do you appear before all of us!”


“Heh, Old man! What does it mean to say my husband is a loser? If you talk do not be careless ya!” said Ayu did not accept. Naturally she was angry, because her husband had been humiliated by her former in-laws.


“Yu, please keep your attitude the same as my in-law.” Ayu was a little surprised by my words. He just found out, that in front of his eyes is Bella's parents.


“Loh, why should I keep the same attitude of the father earlier, he was already a former in-law, Mas. Your father-in-law is my mother, my father. Remember that.” He folded his hands on his chest, I knew he was upset. It's just that I can't do anything.


"That's it, Yu. Don't make a fuss again. I'm going home, I'm tired." Finally Ayu obeyed my words, even though her mouth continued to grouse not clear. After a few minutes, the trial began.


When I entered the room, I saw Bella. He looked ahead without looking at me. I could also see Arka being carried by my mother-in-law. When I saw Arka in her grandmother's arms. This heart is like something is hissing, there is pain when I see my son is far away from me. I wanted to hug my son, only I couldn't.


1 hour later, the judge knocked on the hammer indicating that Bella and I were officially divorced without any further mediation. Though I wanted to try mediating with Bella, only she refused out loud.


“With this, brothers Gibran and also Bella Hairun are officially divorced. And you are no longer the husband of the wife,” said the judge welcomed happily by the family Bella. Ayu and my mother just kept quiet while staring cynically at her former besi. Before deciding to go home, I tried to approach the Bella family to meet with my son Arka.


“Pak?” He looked at me and looked straight at me.


“You what are you, Hah! Are you dissatisfied that my child is suffering!? Did you forget what I said? You're divorced from my son Bella. If you appear before me, I will not hesitate to slash your neck with a machete!" My in-laws went straight ahead and wanted to attack me.


“Pak, relax first. I came here just want to meet my son, Arka.” I tried to talk to him, even if this life was at stake.


“White!” again he spit to the side. “Still remember you with your own child's Ark? You still have a face you want to see my grandson! As long as you are with my son, do you remember this one of your children!” He pointed to his granddaughter who was currently being carried by his grandmother.


“I know, this is wrong and all this is indeed my fault. I'm really sorry. Therefore my permission to meet Arka, I want to hug him I want to see him.” My in-laws still looked at me with hatred, before long he looked at his wife. His wife nodded her head. The sign he gave me the opportunity to hug Arka.


"Love, Dad. Let it be like anything. Arka her son."


"But, Mah he's already-" said Mr. Sugeng immediately stopped when his wife signaled to be silent. I didn't expect. My father-in-law who looks creepy directly obedient to his wife.


Slowly, I grabbed Arka from her grandmother's sling. I was so moved, for so long, I was finally able to hug my son.


“Do not long hold my grandson,” said my daughter-in-law. I just nodded my head. I can finally hold my son and hold him. This is a gift to me. Why did I break up with Bella. I feel heavy with Arka. Wh why? Why did this regret appear when the two of them were already far away from me.


“Give my granddaughter, we all want to go home.” With a heavy heart I give my son, accidentally my eyes look towards the window. I saw Bella looking at me before she shut the glass door of her car. Eventually they all left me alone here. That was the last time I met Bella, even the divorce papers had come to my house as well as Bella.
