Ninth Month

Divorcement

🌺🌺🌺

Intan wriggled up from his sleep. She turned to the bed beside him, looking for her husband. The bed next to him was empty. The curtains of the hotel room where they stayed were also still closed, the lights were still on. Maybe Mas Rayan is taking a bath, Inner Intan.

Intan hears carefully the sound from the bathroom. But still, silence. There's no sound whatsoever.

"Buck...!" call Intan.

Silence has no validity.

"Mas Rayan's. Are you in the bathroom?" call Intan again.

There is no lawfulness. Rushing to the bathroom. Open the bathroom door. It turned out to be empty, there was no Rayan there. Even the sink was dry as if it had never been used.

Intan wonders, where did Mas Rayan go, huh? Maybe I should take a shower first. Soaking in warm water is definitely refreshing. Last night's romance made her body hurt all over. Intan looked at the reflection of his body in the mirror. The red scar here and there made her smile in embarrassment given the events of last night.

Finish soaking long enough. Intan was looking for clothes in a suitcase that they had not been able to dismantle. That's where Intan realized her husband's suitcase had disappeared. His clothes were also not in the room, his shoes, everything disappeared as if there had never been a trace of Rayan here. Intan's heart was pounding. He felt something had happened. What happened to her husband, she was confused.

His eyes were fixed on the letter lying on the table beside his bed. Intan opened it in a hurry. She was afraid something bad might happen to her husband. As soon as I read it, Intan's hand shook violently. Her tears are pouring.

Dear Intan,

I'm sorry for making this decision.

For a reason I can't name, I want us to separate. My lawyer will take care of our divorce proceedings.

There are ATM cards and home addresses that you can use. Have fun. I won't bother you anymore.

Greetings, greetings,

Hendrayans

Intan was speechless knowing that Rayan had divorced her. His heart that had grown big yesterday suddenly broke into pieces. Her tears were dripping nonstop without her being able to hold back. Intan cried hard until out of breath. Even a cry could not ease the tightness in his heart. Intan's body was limp. Unable to withstand the pain that is burning. Intan fainted with Rayan's letter still in his hand.

"La la... Lalalalas... "

The loud ringing of the phone made Intan aware of his stupor. I don't know how long he's been fainting.

"Hello" Intan's voice vibrated lifting his mother's phone. He hugged his mother at this time.

"Son, what's wrong? why don't you pick up the phone? what the hell's going on? why is your father angry? what's the matter?" mama Intan asked.

Hearing the question of his mother who bertubi-tubi would not want tears back inundated in Intan's eyes. Intan tried to hold him back from crying.

"I was divorced by Mas Rayan," Intan said with a trembling voice.

"What...!" her mother shouted across the phone hysterically, "how can son? what the hell's going on? what's the problem until you get divorced? You just got married yesterday."

"I don't know, ma," replied Intan who started crying.

The sound of her mother crying.

"Where areyou? Mama's gonna pick you up."

"I'm fine Ma, I need to calm down. I can't go home yet. I'll tell mama later."

"Son, promise me you don't do things that are out of bounds. Don't kill yourself, son! Mama can't live without you."

"I'm not gonna do it. I love Mama. I promise to survive at all costs. I can't go home right now. Mama please understand, I'm not ready for what people are saying."

"Son.." said his mother.

"Don't be sad Ma, I'm fine."

Intan immediately closed his phone because he himself could not stem his tears in order to look strong in the eyes of his mother.

After the phone from Mama Intan immediately turned off his phone. Apparently rumors are spreading fast. There were a lot of calls and incoming messages asking if it was true that he was divorced.

Remembering the word divorce does not stop making Intan cry again. His eyes are red and red. Heart hurts. Was in his former life, he was a criminal so now he got trials in such a way. The sound in the hotel room only stayed sobs long ago lost. He fell asleep from exhaustion from crying.
