Should I Joke (Again)
68. Meet well, separate well.
The divorce trial took place today, Rei deliberately asked permission for leave. He did not want to miss the verdict of the judge he was so waiting for.
Reza also seemed to be present there, all this time they were one house and still together. But since today's verdict, they've both officially divorced.
The judge granted Rei's divorce, and Reza accepted. They are now officially divorced. For the matter of the gono-gini treasure Rei did not demand much, because basically he did not need it.
For him the inner calm was much more precious. Reza initially forces Rei to accept the house they are occupying now because it is indeed his wedding gift from Reza.
Rei refused and preferred to get out of there, finally according to the deal the house and its contents will be sold and the results divided equally. But unexpectedly the house had a fan, because it was in accordance with Reza's promise the house was Rei's, and the money from the sale of the house was entirely Rei's.
They still occupied the house until they brought their personal belongings out. Both of Reza's parents deeply regretted this decision, but on the other hand they did not want to see Rei suffer anymore.
Unlike Reza's parents, Rei's parents knew they were divorced an hour before the trial began. Imagine how sad Mama Rei and her papa were of course. Because this match is his proposal.
Regretting why they didn't know earlier didn't even know how sick Rei was withstanding all the emotional burden he was carrying himself.
Mama Rei wept for the fate of her youngest daughter, they came to court to follow the final trial. So did Reza's parents. Papa Reza repeatedly apologized for his son's behavior. And hope the relationship between the two parents remains even though their children have separated.
Everyone especially Rei's family and his lawyers are happy the judge ruled on this divorce. They hugged each other, they also shook hands with the judge and everyone in the courtroom.
Reza looked at Rei from afar, he clearly saw a happy look on his wife's face, didn't he. Rei is no longer his wife because a few minutes ago the judge had knocked on his hammer sign that their relationship was over from now on.
Reza stood up, walking towards Rei. His steps were not excited, but he also did not want to make Rei shackled with this unhealthy household.
"Rei" Reza greeted, Rei turned his head and smiled at him. Whether made of what his heart, many times hurt but still able to smile. A smile that was soon missing from his life.
"Mas, sorryin Rei yes if all this time got it wrong" Rei approached, he hugged Reza for the last time. Everyone who saw so astonished, how Rei could have a big heart to accept the blessing of her husband, even now it was Rei who apologized first.
"I'm sorry, Rei, I don't deserve to be your companion. You deserve better than me" Reza returned his ex-wife's embrace.
They hugged for quite a while, even Rei and Reza shed tears. Reza with tears of sadness at having to part with Rei, instead Rei with tears of happiness because finally get his freedom back.
"We met well, and parted well. I hope that after this Reza mas will be better, because there is already a baby candidate who will be present." Rei broke his embrace.
"Oiya, after the divorce papers came out and we're both free to marry my madam, because she doesn't want her son to have unclear status because you're still in series."
"As he has always wanted, and give him my regards. He no longer needed to wear fake tears to get your attention. No more pretending to be nice in front of me just to get the status of an official wife."
Rei's words suddenly made Reza and all who were there flabbergasted. It turns out that Rei had also been under pressure from his wife, Lia.
Reza regretted Lia's attitude as if he did not heed her words to be patient. Even Rei said that Lia also met him after the second trial was over.
Mama and Papa Rei again regretted not being able to accompany his son, although they believed Rei would not be easily intimidated. Rei knew how to defend himself, defend his own without hurting anyone else.
Eventually, they separated, and Rei chose to go home to his parents. Because most of his clothes and personal belongings were already transported in Rei's private house.

A month passed and a letter from the court was in Rei's hands. Rei smiled wryly, today it is officially bearing the status of a widow, for the second time.
But Rei wasn't sad, nor did he care about people's judgments about his widowed return.
As long as it doesn't bother anyone else, Rei is bodo with all the nonsense he hears. His life is his, no one has the right to rule over anyone.
A few days later there was a mobile banking notification coming in, there was a certain amount of money that made him go awry. He did not expect this much money from the sale of his house.
Before long the phone rang, Rei read the caller's name. Reza's the ex-suaminy who called. Rei picked up his phone.
"Assalammualaikum, noon mas" Rei greeted.
"Waalaikumsalam, how's Rei doing?" Reza looks a little awkward.
"Mas, that's not wrong. Why is there so much money you send, is that not excessive." Rei went straight to the point, she did not want to linger dealing with her ex-husband again.
For those who are finished, there is no need to read anymore. In order not to cause slander later on.
"No Rei, that's your right. The house is your home, I promised you all the proceeds."
"I'm sorry if I can just send now the money, waiting for the letter of sale and purchase agreement from the notary to be completed and behind the name of the land and building from the developer."
Reza tried to explain, even though he knew Rei did not want to linger talking to him. Reza tried to buy time, for him this was a rare opportunity before Rei completely shut down access for him.
Reza knew Rei already did not want to get in touch with him, even trying to block his phone number. But Reza asked for time for him to contact Rei because of the problem of the sale of the house that is still not finished.
Now that everything is done, the sale of the house is done, the money has also been transferred to Rei's account. Now what else will Reza make an excuse to approach Rei.
Can only pray that Rei doesn't stay away from him, even if it's impossible. Rei was a stubborn woman, who would not be easily tricked by unreasonable excuses.
"Yes, thank you very much. I'm sorry I still have customers, so I hung up. Assalammualikum" Rei hung up his phone, and continued his work serving customers.
tut.tut..
"Waalaikumsalam" Reza looked at his hape.
It was over he thought, and their relationship was completely finished.
