Taint

Meet Arsen

Drizzle that since the early hours faithfully flushed the city, did not discourage Nadhea to visit the police station. After being discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, Nadhea accompanied her father back to Surabaya. They live in a new house near the top. The house is not as big as it used to be, but beautiful and comfortable. Nadhea was very comfortable living there, especially now that the father's affection was intact like a real parent.

Because he enjoyed his new life too much, Nadhea put off for a moment the really important business, which is to take care of the divorce. Just last night, Nadhea went to Bandung. He was staying at a low-class hotel and this morning left for the police station. He'll meet Arsen before he takes care of his divorce.

"Hopefully after this my life has really improved" Nadhea murmured as she continued to step up. He deliberately walked because the distance was not too far away.

Moments later, Nadhea arrived at the police station. He expressed his intentions and was welcomed by the officers. He is welcome to sit down, while the police call Arsen.

Two minutes later, Arsen arrived in front of Nadhea. The woman smiled at a glance when she met a glance with Arsen.

"Mas!"

"You want to laugh at me, don't you?" Arsen spoke with high intonation. He hated the current atmosphere.

Staring at the beautiful and fresh Nadhea, Arsen felt slapped. I don't know, it's like something's missing from his heart.

"I want to talk good, Mom. I won't laugh because actually I don't want to see you in this position either" Nadhea calmly replied.

"Omong empty! You think I'm stupid! Kaivan wouldn't have come if you hadn't invited him, Dhea!" said Arsen still with high intonation.

"I'm not evasive, Mom. I did ask him for help. But I did it because there was no way to go. If I hadn't asked Kaivan for help, would I still be alive, Mas?" Nadhea.

"Now you're satisfied, right? You have already succeeded in getting revenge. So, better get going!" Arsen glared sharply.

"I told you, this isn't what I really want. I am disappointed with your treatment. But that doesn't mean I'm going to get revenge. It's all done after I'm free of you" Nadhea explained.

"Omong empty! Now go! Don't you fucking care about me!" snapped Arsenic.

"I do care, Mom, after all you are valuable to me." Nadhea stared at Arsen for longer.

Arsen suddenly misbehaved. The sad look that Nadhea gave seemed able to tear down her arrogance. What's more, Nadhea also throws precious words. Suddenly Arsen rediscovered something that was missing.

Nadhea smiled, "I've never been in a relationship with Kaivan, we're just familiar. As long as we were married, I was never close to another man. I appreciate you as my husband, Mommy."

Arsen did not answer, just turned his head and looked at Nadhea deeply.

"I was disappointed with your treatment, and hated your selfishness. But you are still a valuable person. I don't forget, you're the only one who cares when I'm alone. You___"

"Don't make up stories, Dhea! Don't think I'll regret it after hearing your lie!" arsen.

"Believe it or not is your choice. What matters is that I'm honest. I don't want any misunderstanding between us. I want us to part ways in a good way."

"parted?" Arsen repeated Nadhea's speech.

"Yes. I want us to divorce."

Nadhea's resolute answer made Arsen claustrophobic instantly.

"Actually, the police have already guaranteed and are ready to help this divorce. But, you are my husband after all. I appreciate you, so I'm here and talking nice. I hope you want to sign it without coercion, then let go of me and leave me with my own life." Nadhea looked at Arsen. "Mas, what you did yesterday, I consider reciprocal for your kindness earlier. Consider it my repayment to you," he continued.

"Dhea___"

"After this, I will discuss with Papa and Kaivan, I will ask them to ease your punishment" Nadhea said.

"Why did you do that?" asked Arsen in a very slow voice.

Nadhea smiled, "I told you, I don't want you to be destroyed. I did this yesterday, just to gain freedom and security. Now I've got it, Mom."

Arsen was silent for a long time. There are taste buds scattered in the mind, which take a lot of time to understand it correctly.

Seriate....
