...Gibran POVs...
...----------------...
This meeting did not treat my longing at all, I just missed it more and more.
Jasmine was still the same, she was still grasping the pain, she was still suffering so much, it made me ashamed to look at her.
I'm ashamed because I made it that way but I still want to have it, I don't want to lose it.
My selfishness is back growing, I'm afraid...
Afraid I would hurt her again, adding a wound to her heart.
I wiped my tears, my life became a mess because of this divorce.
I couldn't concentrate on work so I decided to stop working, I couldn't eat properly even if I was starving all night.
All I did was lie on his bed inside Aurora's room, feeling the scent of her body left behind.
I might be going crazy soon...
Love is torturous, regret punishes me so vilely, without end I continue to suffer.
The ringing of my phone broke the silence, I didn't want to lift it but it kept ringing but then my house bell rang.
Someone came to visit when it was late at night, I was forced to get up, step out of Aurora's room and open the door.
Unexpectedly, Juna came to see you. My jaw was hardened to see it.
"Jasmine called me, she asked me for various meals with you because she said you were too thin in the trial earlier."
"I can take care of my own life!"
"Oh, okay. I'll get that to Jasmine!"
Juna then stepped away, carrying his luggage, but the last sentence he said really disturbed me so much that I was forced to pursue his steps.
"Here!" Shamelessly, I snatched the box in Juna's hand and then I quickly stepped out of it.
"You were intentional?" juna's words managed to make my footsteps stop.
"You agreed to divorce him but you still keep snaring him petty" said Juna again who immediately made my heart burn with anger until I immediately approached him.
"Get me talk!" I warned Juna sternly but as Juna stepped forward, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "what else is the proper name for a man like you?"
"You destroyed Jasmine, released her instead so she could start her life again but you showed your destruction to her. What do you want? The sympathy? You want him to change his mind after seeing you slump? Reciprocating it with guilt?"
It felt like Juna had just hit me so strongly with his words that he pinned for me.
"Save your own wounds! Take off Jasmine completely if you really love her!" juna pushed my shoulders so hard that my body retreated backwards and after that he left me.
Once more...
I hurt you one more time, Jasmine...
There's nothing worse than me, Jasmine....
Excuse me...

...Jasmine POV ...
...-------------...
My footsteps were heavy when I got out of the car, stepped into the courthouse where my divorce trial with Gibran was after previous mediation was declared unsuccessful because I refused to make up with Gibran.
I thought a lot during this time, living with destruction but Rora needs me, she gets fussy because I cry too much, she said, maybe because I hadn't smiled at her for a long time because looking at her made me want to cry because I couldn't keep my promise to give her complete happiness.
"Jasmine..."
"Auntie why is it here?" ask me hesitantly.
"Can we talk for a second?"
"Yes?"
......................
I waited for Ruby's mother to speak until we just sat next to each other in the garden chair that was still in the courtroom without speaking.
He sighed deeply before handing me a map.
"I'm divorced from your father."
"Yes?"
"I should have done it a long time ago, so Ruby might still be with me. At least he didn't need to thirst for his father's affection who never really cared about him."
"..."
"I'm depressed, Jasmine... Thinking about my mistakes to your mother, to you, and losing Ruby, but she's acting like a stupid man. She still wants to grab your attention, she forgets that if Ruby is gone, she even asked me to take Rora from you so you can come to us, go back to her side. I've loved bad men all this time..."
I could see that regret from the sadness shown by the look in his eyes as well as his smile.
"That's Rora's birth certificate, I took care of it. To be honest, Ruby probably had a premonition until she came to me the day before she gave birth and left us all behind. She told me she died in childbirth, she wanted me to write your name on her child's birth certificate. He said it was his way of atoning for his sin on you," he shed his tears at the end of his sentence.
As it slashed, my heart was sad to hear all the stories.
"I hope I can also atone for my sins to your mother, Jasmine. Forgive me." he said before stepping away leaving me who could only cry while hugging the map containing Aurora's birth certificate.
......................
Tock
The hammer has been knocked, Gibran and I are finally officially divorced.
By capitalizing on the birth certificate given by her mother Ruby, I pacified Aurora's custody. Even the law now only knows that Aurora is my daughter.
No one can sue him anymore.
I felt some relief from that fact even though this separation was still suffocating me.
I was still crying when Gibran walked up to me after the trial was over.
He looks different from the first trial yesterday, he no longer looks chaotic even though both eyes are still puffy.
Gibran smiled at me, so he stretched out his hand to shake my hand.
While continuing to look at her with a crowded chest, I shook her hand and tried to show the same smile as her.
"I can still see Rora, right?" tanyanya slow.
"Of course, he misses you. You haven't seen him in all this time."
"I was scared like that, I was afraid I couldn't hold back my feelings and force you again."
She held back her cries so strongly that her face turned red.
"Heavy for you, heavy for me too but this is the best. Continue your life Gibran, I will do the same."
"If you're happy, I'll move on with my life if I ever have a chance to get you again..."
He lowered his head, wiped away his dripping tears quickly then showed his smile, shook my hand long enough before finally letting go.
"Stop that..."
Not the chance, but I don't know if I can or can't find my happiness because my heart stops at you, Gibran.
