Passion of the Ex (After Divorce)

Ijab Qabul

After finishing his affairs, Queen's gushes out of the orphanage. However, when he had just stepped into the courtyard of the parlour, spontaneously the step stopped, while looking at the figure of a handsome man standing in front of him. The woman, looking to open her mouth while glaring at her eyes, did not hear a word from her lips. While the man in front of him, seemed to smile accompanied by a thin grin on his lips.

"Good morning, my dear wife. Didn't you say goodbye to me taking care of the business you're building with your friends? But why are you even here?"

"Oh, um, look, I do want to visit this orphanage first."

Arron frowned, accompanied by a wry smile that made Queen's body even more tense. Surely he still hopes that Arron does not know the purpose of his arrival to the orphanage.

"Bagini Arron, unbeknownst to you, actually I often contribute to several orphanages. Emh, you've been so indifferent to me all along. So, you don't know that my social spirit is very high" explained Queen, hoping that Arron would believe her words, and not yet know what she meant by coming to that place.

"Sad, you know I don't like to mince words, Queen? I'm tired of pretending in front of you! You think I don't know what you're keeping secret, huh?"

"W-what do you mean, Arron?" reply Queen. His heart beat faster, his body that had been tense, now seemed to be flowed by electricity. Afraid, that was all he was currently feeling.

"No need to pretend, Queen. I already know that your mother threw Papa Bram's biological son into this orphanage, right? Your mama told me that Papa Bram's real daughter was dead when he fell for his wife! I also know, your mother also lied to Papa Bram by telling him to marry himself as asked by Papa Bram's wife, but all that is just a lie, right? You and your late mother are the same! Full of lies and ruse!"

"What are you talking about, Arron? You misunderstood me, I can explain all this, Arron."

"Nothing else to explain, Queen! You think I'm stupid, huh? You think I didn't hear all your conversations inside the parlour?"

"Arron, this is not what you imagined. Give me some time to explain."

"What explanation? Explanation that you've taken Kiara's position? Explanation that you've taken away the rights that Kiara should have? The one I've been betrothed to was Kiara, right? Not you, because Papa Bram's real son is Kiara, and you've taken everything Kiara has! You should be ashamed, already taking what is not yours!"

"No, Arron isn't that the real thing, don't you know our parents have already betrothed us a long time ago?"

"BUT NOT YOU, QUEEN! You and your mama are just cruel humans who have separated their parents and biological children! You and your mama are just cruel humans who have taken what is not hers, and you still hold on to it? You're really shameless!"

"But ... "

"ENOUGH!" snapped Arron, along with that, Queen's phone rang. Hearing the ringing of her phone, Queen hesitated and looked at Arron with fear.

Queen took her phone and saw Alvian's name on the screen. The Queen's body trembled.

"Why are you silent? Lift, Queen. I want to know what secrets you're hiding again, if you don't, I'll report you to the authorities right now!" Filled with fear, Queen also picked up the phone call, by activating the loud speaker

[Halo Queen, I just wanted to let you know that my marriage and Kiara accelerated due to Mama Kiara's critical condition. How are you happy, honey?]

Queen did not answer, just glanced at Arron accompanied by a feeling of fear, let alone Arron's jaw was already hardened, accompanied by increasingly sharp eyes on him.

[Queen, why are you quiet? Shouldn't you be happy I'm married to Kiara, now? Moreover, she is carrying your husband's flesh and blood, I saved you by marrying Kiara, dear. Thank you to me.]

Actually Queen felt so surprised to hear the words of Alvian if the child contained Kiara is the blood of her husband's flesh, her heart was so broken, feeling awkward, all this time it turns out Arron had a relationship behind her with Kiara. The woman also felt fooled, especially considering her meeting with Kiara a few weeks ago at the hotel, and along with that, Arron suddenly disappeared after she checked in.

'Damn it, Arron disappeared from me at the hotel to make out with Kiara! They were really jerks, I even acted like a fool in front of Kiara. For sure at that time he was actually laughing at me, Queen's inner being, accompanied by a cocky feeling in his heart. However, at this moment he could not spill his anger, as if he had no right to be angry with Arron, because the mistake made by him, it was much more fatal.

[Where are you, Alvian? Please tell me where you are.] Queen replied in the end, after getting a code from Arron to inquire about Alvian and Kiara's whereabouts now.

After that, Queen hung up her phone in fear. "Basic jerk! You're working with Alvian huh? You really are a savage woman, Queen!"

"A-Arron, I..."

"Just tell me where they are now, and don't try to lie to me to buy time because if we're just a little late, you'll feel the consequences!"

Queen nodded, and the two of them got into Arron's car and headed to the hospital. Half an hour later, they arrived. Just as the two of them set their feet in front of the treatment room, a faint sound came from inside the room.

"I married and I married Alvian Indrawan bin Darmawijaya with Kiara Salsabila, a woman who became my power, with a dowry a set of prayer tools paid for in cash.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Kiara Salsabila for me with the dowry paid in cash."
