Not Just a Status

49. Don't Divorce Me!

When Mandala came out of the bathroom, Kahyang seemed to be holding Rayno who had just finished breastfeeding. The one-month-old baby appeared to start getting sleepy after the feeding earlier.

"Man, it was me and Yudha..."Kahyang looked confused to continue his words.

"You don't need to explain anything to me" said Mandala while sitting next to Kahyang, then took Rayno from Kahyang's lap.Mandala kissed Rayno's cheek, then stroked Rayno's thick hair.

"I will not forbid you to meet, go or get in touch with anyone. I realized, our relationship is only limited to status. I have no right to rule your life.At any time I will marry the girl my parents chose. You also have the right to be happy and look for a life partner who can be your protector and accompany you after we split later," Mandala said sounding calm even though her chest was tight. After saying it all. The mandala walked towards the baby box and laid Rayno who was asleep.

"Are you going to divorce me before you marry the girl your parents chose?"ask Kahyang slowly.

Somehow Kahyang felt dislike when Mandala said she would not forbid him from meeting, leaving, and connecting with anyone.

Mandala sighed which felt tight. The man walked over to Kahyang, then sat opposite Kahyang. Mandala grabbed Kahyang's hand and grasped it gently.

"Don't I ever tell you? I won't divorce you until you ask me to. Did you forget?"tanya Mandala looked at the black bead of Kahyang's eyes which was also staring at her.

"I. I don't want a divorce from you" said Kahyang sounding nervous, then lowered his head.

Mandala was surprised to hear what Kahyang said, "Do you know what kind of relationship we will have if you want to hang on with me? You'll just be my mistress. I will even only be able to give you a living born without being able to give you an inner living. Because our marriage is only legal in the eyes of the law, but not legal in the eyes of religion. You won't be happy with this kind of marriage, Yang! You deserve to be happy, Yang!"mandala said in a weak voice. Not willing to divorce Kahyang. But also do not want to be selfish by binding Kahyang like this. Binding Kahyang in the marriage bond is just a status.

"I. I love you!"said Kahyang with a downcast face, suddenly the crystal grains fell from his eyes.

Mandala was further shocked to hear Kahyang's confession. Slowly Mandala let go of her hand and cupped both cheeks of Kahyang with trembling hands. Raising Kahyang's face for the woman to look at him.

"Ka.. You love me?"tanya Mandala did not seem to believe what Kahyang had just said. There was a feeling of happiness in his heart. But there was also sadness in his heart. Why should they meet and fall in love if it is not possible to be together?

"I don't want to be separated from you. Iloveyou! Don't divorce me!"said Kahyang with tears that scattered his smooth white cheeks.

"I love you too. Loved you so much, "Mandala held Kahyang in her arms, her tears dripped without her being able to hold back. The two hugged each other as if they did not want to be separated. Kahyang sobbed in Mandala's arms. That night the couple who loved each other could not express their feelings. They do not know, should be sad or happy, when they know that they love each other but it is impossible to be together.

Mandala broke her embrace and wiped away Kahyang's tears. He kissed Kahyang's forehead gently and affectionately.

"We're going to spend the time we have with our son. Don't cry anymore! Maybe my body won't be yours, but I make sure that my heart is only for you.Let me love you even if you can't be mine," Mandala said to softly kiss Kahyang's lips for a while. Just a few moments, because if it takes too long, Mandala is afraid of khilaf.

"I love you!"kahyang said with trembling lips. Staring at Mandala whose face is only a few inches in front of him with a loving gaze mixed with sadness. Mandala again held Kahyang in her arms, and held him in love.

"Sorry! I can't fight for our love" Mandala said regretfully.

The day keeps changing, every second means so much to Mandala and Kahyang. Trying to enjoy every second of their togetherness and trying to forget the storm that will soon come to them. A storm that might destroy and destroy their hearts.

That afternoon, Kahyang took Rayno and Bik Mar to a mall. Buy some clothes for Rayno. Kahyang also bought clothes for Bik Mar. The middle-aged woman was also very happy. During her work on Mandala, the middle-aged woman was treated well by Mandala and Kahyang. The couple respected Bik Mar like younger people respected older people. Never said much less to be rude to Bik Mar.

Bik Mar has two married sons, while her husband is long dead. Not wanting to burden his two children whose economy is mediocre, Bik Mar also worked washing and ironing the clothes of his neighbors to meet his own needs. One day Bik Mar almost got hit by a Mandala car because of fatigue to lack of focus when crossing. And since then Mandala has offered Bik Mar to work on cleaning her apartment and giving Bik Mar a hefty salary compared to washing and ironing her neighbor's clothes.

"Sir, I want to go to the toilet for a while. Aunty just wait here, okay?"pamit Kahyang's.

"Yes, Madam,"sahut Bik Mar.

Kahyang rushed to the toilet. After a few minutes, Kahyang came out of the toilet. But just a few steps out of the toilet, Kahyang was surprised to see some men who confronted him. Coinciding with Bik Mar who followed Kahyang to the toilet.Bik Mar also looked surprised to see Kahyang was stopped by several men.

"Good afternoon Miss! Miss, sir told us to take Miss and Miss's son home. The Master also said, if Miss fights back, we can do anything to Miss. Please cooperate, so we don't have to be rude to Miss" said one of the men.

Kahyang sighed looking at the men. And Kahyang memorized correctly with the man he had just talked to. That man was his papa confidant.

"I thought papa had forgotten me. I didn't think papa would find me. My son is no longer with me, so you can only take me home" Kahyang said, exhaling violently.

"I mean Miss, Miss's son is dead?"asked the Anggoro confidant, looking surprised.

Kahyang did not answer the question of the man in front of him and let the confidant of his father assume anything on the statement from him just now. Kahyang deliberately made a sentence that could make his father's confidant assume that his son was dead. Because Kahyang was afraid that his father would get rid of his son. It might be better if her son lives with Mandala. Kahyang believed, Mandalas would definitely take good care of their sons.

Kahyang looked at Bik Mar who looked tense, then approached the middle-aged woman he had considered like his own family.
