Pitted Because of Will

DKW 8 - Divorce me

The sky was bright again, the sound of birds chirping was heard all the way into the house. The golden rays of the sun began to rush in through the sidelines of the ventilation.

Nisa opened her bedroom window, the spacious garden around the house became her center of attention this time. Moreover, there are some flowers that he planted began to bloom including white roses, lily, peony, and also orchids. The flowers are flowers that he planted himself on the sidelines of his busy life as a secretary as well as his role as a wife.

The blooming flower can always change the mood of Nisa for the better when she has problems or when she faces the pressure of work. But not with the day. He still felt the shock even though he was staring at the flowers.

Nisa took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He did this several times to reduce the tightness in the heart. But again, it can not change his mood for the better.

"O Allah, is this the destiny that you have laid out for me? It made me marry the one I love, but in the end you betrothed her to another woman as well. Is this really what's best for me?" nisa's inner self was struggling to face the fate she was facing right now.

"I want to give up on this marriage, but...what about the fate of the child I'm carrying? Should she feel the same way I have?" Nisa is at war with her own mind.

Yes, Nisa is a child who was raised without the affection of a father. Both of her parents divorced when she was still in the womb. And there was no trace of anything he knew about his father, including his appearance.

Once again Nisa exhaled heavily. "Are you going to feel the same way if I choose to separate? Could it be that Mas Bima will also ignore my son later?" Nisa rubbed her stomach.

The sound of knocking on the door pulled Nisa from her daydream.

"Who?"

"This is my Madam, Bi Asih. The master and Madam are already waiting for you in the living room," Bi Asih replied from behind the door.

"Tell them not to wait for me. I'll eat by myself later."

"Sorry, Madam. Master said, Madam should have breakfast together at the dinner table because there's something you want to explain."

Breathing out of Nisa's lips. "I can't stay away forever. Maybe it's time I accepted this reality" inner Nisa.

"Mrs." Call Bi Asih once again.

"Yes, I'm going down now." Nisa took the creamy instant hijab from the closet and then put it on after that then she came out of the room.

One by one the steps Nisa managed to pass and finally she arrived at the dining table where her husband and in-laws had been waiting for her, including Ayu, she honeymooned.

Bima immediately stood up when he saw the arrival of Nisa, he slightly rewinded the chair to be occupied by his first wife.

"Sit down!"

Without saying anything, Nisa immediately sat on the chair.

"What side dishes did you eat?" ask Bima again.

"Bi Asih said that someone wanted Mas Bima to explain to me. If you could say that now!" Nisa ignored her husband's question.

Instead of answering his first wife's question, he took a plate and put rice on it.

"What side dishes do you want, honey?"

"No, Mom, I'm not hungry. I came down just to listen to the explanation you are going to tell me," refused Nisa, but ignored by Bima. The man kept Nisa's favorite side dish on the plate.

"Is this enough?" ask Bima. Nisa just took her breath. She immediately took a plate filled with rice and side dishes by Bima from her husband's hand.

"Yu, what do you want to eat too. Let me get you guys?" bima asked his second wife who was sitting on the left.

Ayu glanced towards Nisa. She felt disinclined because her husband's first wife was staring dislikefully. Ayu thought that what Nisa did was common. Any wife would be angry and hurt if her husband suddenly came home and brought a new wife.

"I'm the chicken, Mas" Ayu replied.

"Well, it turns out your appetite is the same as Nisa's, you both like spicy cuisine." Bima put the chicken stirring by Ayu on a dish filled with white rice.

"Sst." Bima gave the code by placing the index finger on Nisa's lips so that his first wife did not continue her words. "We eat now! Only then do we discuss everything together," he said.

Nisa has to agree. They start to enjoy their breakfast even though all the food that goes into Nisa's mouth feels bland.

"Now you can explain it to me, right?" nisa asked after she finished eating.

"Bi, please bring all these dirty dishes to the kitchen!" ask Vein.

Bi Asih who was in the kitchen was immediately doing the orders of his great mistress. One by one the dirty dishes are stacked then taken to the kitchen and placed on the sink. Likewise with other glasses and containers. The remaining side dishes that were on the table were brought from there and stored in the closet.

"Now you've started to explain, haven't you, Mas?"

Bima took out an envelope and gave it to Nisa.

"What's this?" ask Nisa.

"That's the reason why I married Ayu" Bima replied.

Nisa opened the envelope that Bima had just given her. At first he was surprised by the contents of the envelope which turned out to be a will written by his late father-in-law.

"So, what am I doing this wrong? I just did what my late father told me. Yes, I was wrong because I didn't talk to you first. I should have considered your feelings. So please forgive me!" Bima exhaled his long breath. He felt very guilty for hurting his wife who had been with him for three years.

"Mbak, if Mbak can't accept me as honey Mbak Nisa. I'd love it if Mas Bima divorced me now."

"Yes." Bima.

"Mas, let me talk." Cut Ayu.

Ayu walked towards Nisa. He stood next to the woman and held her hand.

"Mother I'm sorry because when I received Mas Bima's proposal, I didn't think about Nisa's feelings. At that time my mind was in turmoil because of my mother's critical condition and her last wish was to see me married so that someone would take care of me after she died. I'm sorry, Ma'am!" Ayu said that with tears.

"Mas, your obligation to fulfill that will is done. You married me and made me your wife. Now it's time you divorced me."

Not only did Bima laugh at Ayu's request, Nisa and Vena were also surprised to hear it.

"But, Yu.... "

"It's okay, Mom. I've been thankful enough because Mas Bima still has the intention to fulfill the will." Ayu took a deep breath and then exhaled. "Talk me now, Mas!" her door.

Bima shook her head. "No, Yu, it's not fair to you."

"No, Mas. This is the best for all of us. Talk to me now, Mom! I'm sincere!" ask Ayu again.

Bima closed his eyes for a while, slowly breathing out after that then he opened his mouth.

"God Divia Pridayanthi.... " Bima paused his sentence. Even though he did not yet have any feelings for Ayu. However, imagining the woman would live a kara made him reluctant to say the phrase talak.

"Continue, Mom, why stop?" get Ayu. He wanted to be free of all this chaos.

Bima looked at Nisa hoping that her first wife could understand and accept Ayu's presence. Unfortunately, the woman was still unmoved as if she did not care about what she was going to do.
