Selfish Husband
THE SEQUEL PART 3
“You can't just procrastinate, Zeyn!” growled Bobby
“I know Bob, but for now that's all I can do. I haven't found a way to handle it. I still need time.”
Zeyn walks back and forth while Bobby makes himself sit more comfortably on Zeyn's office couch.
“What else are you waiting for? The divorce papers he filed are also very beneficial to you. Just sign and everything is done.”
“Heyyy. I just.. I don't know what to do, Bob.” Zeyn sat down next to Bobby by rubbing his annoyed face.
“If you ask my advice as a lawyer, I will ask you to sign the papers. There's not a single person in the world who's filed a better divorce papers like the one he gave you Zeyn. Plus, her lawyer has urged me to make a decision as soon as possible. But if you need my advice as a friend. First, you're the dumbest person I've ever known. Why did you make him leave from the beginning. I'm honestly confused, if you don't have the intention to divorce her. Why didn't you stop her when she gave you the divorce papers. You should have said no or no,” ledek Bobby at the end he said.
“It... It's different Bob.”
“Sign the letters! And give me freedom! You can ask her to marry you again.”
Zeyn stared at the strangely seated Bobby casually. Bobby's words just now are they really serious?
“What do you think of me? In that religion Bobby banned, besides that I also have a reputation that I must maintain. I couldn't make myself a laughingstock by divorcing him and remarrying the same woman. I have to be a man who can be trusted in the eyes of people. Anyways... I'm not sure she's going to marry me again.”
“Ooh... One way to keep him by your side, huh? Hmmm it could also be the way out,” said Bobby. “You haven't told him if you're going to sign those letters, have you? He also has no proof that you did not keep your promise. So ... oh wait, but he did!” Bobby put on his face.
“Ah... Aye! Your marriage contract, I completely forgot about it and if he came to court with evidence of it... Sorry, Zeyn. It will have a bad impact on your career and also you do not want to be dragged to court. Aye right?”
“You think I haven't thought about this all this time? I knew this was gonna happen. That's the reason why I need more time.”
Bobby held up his sitting position. His brows were linked and his forehead was furrowed, immersed in his own thoughts.
“I see two solutions in this situation. Either we will find fault in your marriage which may be proof if she does not complete her part as mentioned in the contract, or we will search for the remaining copy and throw it away. But we need to make sure that his lawyer doesn't know about the contract you made.”
“I don't know, Bobby. He's not that kind of person. I'm sure he won't take me to court. He wants everything to be completed as quietly as possible.”
“Yes too, but it depends how much he doesn't expect you anymore in his life.”
“Try other ways Bob.”
“Let's just say you don't agree with the terms of the divorce she filed. But, it would look really stupid anyway. If you refuse a divorce without losing anything. Then he should come and talk it back to you.”
“Wahh! Brilliant,” Zeyn jumped from his seat and hugged Bobby all the while. “The perfect idea!”
The thing that Zeyn never thought of was to use the divorce papers as bait to meet.
...***...
After a long time convincing Yudha to grant his request, Zeyn finally with a look of their face was busy glued to a screen ponse.
None other than, and not not, the image that allegedly can make Zeyn like an idiot is a photo of Vania sent to Yudha's number. Zeyn who at first halfheartedly asked because of Zeyn's jealousy towards Yudha who could freely establish communication with his wife.
That way, Zeyn remained grateful that the goddess fortuna was siding with him. After a few weeks he could not see Vania. Finally ammunition persuaded Yudha, to ask Vania to send a picture to just find out the state of the woman who is still his wife status has been realized.
But something changed in terms of the appearance of Vania, she cut her hair shorter again but still looks the same. Either it's the effect of their painful breakup.
Zeyn traced the phone screen with her finger, stroking her cheek. She smiled, looking warm and sweet as usual.
“Your eyes will come out if keep staring at her.”
“You would have done the same thing if I wasn't around.”
“Ha? No... no,” elak Yudha
At this time Zeyn was not sure if he should be angry, Vania sent a photo to Yudha for some reason. Zeyn was eager to see him but on the other hand Zeyn could not refuse if he continued to feel bad.
Zeyn's feelings lead to Yudha flirting with his wife, and Zeyn, the reason that drives them closer every day. Zeyn was also the one who gave her the flexibility to talk to him. Yudha is now the only hope and a threat to Zeyn.
“How did you convince Vania to do it?” asked Zeyn who was still looking at Yudha's cell phone screen.
“At first, he refused because he had never done it before and asked to say hello I needed it. But when I answer, I need to make sure she's okay. She finally sent her picture a few hours later.”
“Oh! Thank you.”
Send!
Zeyn sent a picture to his cell phone, then placed Yudha's cell phone on the table.
Zeyn stretched his legs under the table, tilting his head to lean on the sofa as his eyes stared blankly at the living room ceiling of Yudha's house.
“Today have you contacted him?”
“Certain what did he say? How's it going?”
“Zeyn ..”
“Tell me, Hm? That won't hurt you, will it?” zeyn pleaded.
“She said you made her uncomfortable about the divorce.”
“Oh...,” Zeyn looked down disappointed to hear Yudha's reply.
There's not much Zeyn can say. Yudha said it with words that could make Zeyn feel ashamed of his behavior. Compared to Yudha, Zeyn Mumgkin is nothing. But that fact had made Zeyn feel bad because of someone they were talking about now, who was still Zeyn's legal wife.
“I just... her lawyer has already urged me.. and you know I don't want a divorce, so.. I don't know what to do... And it turns out this way.”.
Yudha came and rubbed Zeyn's shoulder. “Why do I have to deal with someone like you? I can't get mad when you look so helpless like this.”
“I can't do anything now, when he's not next to me. I was thinking if I could make it back, I'd talk and explain everything.”
“But he doesn't want to meet you, Zeyn. I mean not now. She's not ready.”
“I know,” Zeyn sipped his drink. “Bobby said today his lawyer called and he agreed to every condition I made. So... my plan failed.”
“You are rash and impatient. You can't make it that easy to make it back, you know?”
“Ya..”
“When he is ready, he will make his own decision.”
“So how is the search?”
“Still the same. There is no new info. Although he eventually found the orphanage he was looking for but they did not tell him anything because it was a secret adoption. They even denied it but Vania could persuade one of the staff, that was all she could hear. I think his parents must have paid them so well that they kept their mouths shut tight.”
“Is there any other way to help him? Wouldn't he be disappointed if he came back with nothing?”
“We can't help much. If you ask me, it's not just a matter of finding parents. It's not about them. He's not looking for them, he's looking for love. More to who loves you unconditionally than your own parents.”
Zeyn's heart was like a needle. Zeyn wasn't so happy at first, but now his grief is deepening. How can he compete with Yudha? He knows her very well. Yudha even knew of Vania's true intentions, more than Zeyn had expected all along. While Zeyn just sat down and grabbed everything without thinking about it.
Maybe taking off is the best way Zeyn can do for Vania
“Yudha... You'll take care of her, right?”
Yudha looked at Zeyn with a gaze like Zeyn had just committed a great crime. He was shocked and frightened by what Zeyn had just said.
“Why you, Zeyn?”
“I just thought..”
“Try to think again,” Yudha's voice asserts. “He will be back and if you allow me to take him, make sure I will.”
Yudha's face stiffened and the look in her eyes said it all. Zeyn knew Yudha very well with her words to the point of emphasizing her every word because Zeyn was so easy to say.
“Originally you know, if you let him go without fighting for him, I guarantee it won't keep you close again.”
“Yudha..”.
Zeyn started to get scared.
