The Chastity of Alesha

Divorcement

The way God loves you is not to ease your problems, but to strengthen your soul so that no matter how great your problems, you persist and will not give up....

The way God loves you is not to lighten your burdens, but to strengthen your shoulders so that no matter how heavy you bear, you will be able to carry the trust given to you....

Alesha

---------------------------------------------

There was tension in the room. Esha had thought that this moment would definitely arrive. A time when he had to let go of everything...

Let go of someone who has broken his heart.

Let go of someone who is able to shake his heart and soul.

Let go of someone he loves with all his soul and body. Even though it's heavy....

"Divorce???" raffi exclaimed as he rounded his eyes after hearing the words of Bu Dahlia.

Dahlia's words were like lightning striking and scorching all hope in her soul.

"Yes. Please divorce my daughter! All this time he suffered enough. I don't want him to be combined. I don't want her life to suffer more" Ms. Dahlia said firmly.

Raffi approached Dahlia and folded his knees to the floor in front of Dahlia. Bu Dahlia was surprised by Raffi's attitude.

"What are you doing?"

"Mother.I beg you not to separate me and Esha. We love each other, ma'am. I'll try to make Esha happy. I promise to protect you ma'am" Raffi groaned while prostrating at Dahlia's feet.

Esha and Aulia were only able to shed her tears at the sight before her.

"Wake up...!!"

Bu Dahlia raised Raffi's shoulder. Raffi stood up.

"Esha the decision is in your hands. Do you want to continue your marriage or do you want a divorce from your husband. But I think you better get divorced"

Aulia arrived chimed in, though,

"Mother.I am sincere if indeed Raffi and Alesha brother love each other. Let them stay together. We will try to live as a family. Me and Alesha will live like a brother and sister"

"Aulia in polygamous Islam is allowed but divorce is also not prohibited. You must have suffered all this time? Your heart must hurt when you see the person you love with other women. That's what I've been feeling all along" Esha said.

"Son Raffi you have to choose one of them. Don't make them suffer again. Now I hope you can make your choice!" exclaim bu Dahlia.

Raffi is just silent. Raffi is confused who to choose. On the one hand she loves Esha very much and does not want to lose her but on the other hand Aulia is pregnant with her child. Raffi's current position is faced with the fruit simalakama, eaten by the dead mother, not eaten by the dead father. Raffi really can not make a choice.

"I'm sorry I couldn't choose Mom. I love my mother's daughter very much. I don't want to lose him. But I also couldn't possibly take my responsibility for the baby that was in Lia's womb"

"Then divorce Lia. Lia sincerely for your happiness" said Aulia.

"No Lia. You are pregnant. Your baby needs her father more" Esha chimed in.

"Son Raffi's mother please divorce Esha. If you keep him, you will make him suffer more. Didn't your parents dislike Esha. Esha is just a village girl unlike you rich guys. Everyone will think of Esha as the third person in your household. Surely everyone will taste Esha as a actor because all people know is that Aulia wants to be your wife. So please let go of Esha... Let him find his happiness" said Bu Dahlia with tears in his eyes.

Raffi's head feels like it's about to break thinking about all this. He no longer knows what to do. His heart is pounding. His breathing is irregular. Her chest felt tight as she watched a mother and daughter hugging while crying over her. Suddenly Raffi saw a figure who was very similar to himself was standing laughing at him.

"Haha... It's all your fault Raffi. You're the one who made Esha suffer. You're the one who didn't fight for your love. You're a loser. You shouldn't have married Aulia if you didn't love her. You shouldn't have been asleep that night. You really are stupid Raffi..."

Suddenly the figure disappeared.

"Yes.it's true. I've been making Esha suffer all this time. This is all my fault. I don't want to make him suffer any more by keeping him by my side" Raffi murmured inwardly.

Then Raffi lowered his gaze and gathered all his strength to speak the words of talaq to Esha....

"Alesha Hanania.I divorced you" Raffi said softly. There's a grain of clear water falling from Raffi's eye patch.

Hearing Raffi's words, Esha fell to the floor. The cry of Esha broke again. Ms. Dahlia folded her knees and hugged the princess.

"Sir Raffi... Why did Raffi divorce Alesha?" asked Aulia in surprise.

"Let's go home, Lia"

"Esha, mom... We go home first. Assalamu'alaikum" said Raffi then stepped his feet to get out.

"Wait for Raffi" Esha called him.

Raffi stopped his steps. Esha stood up and walked over to Raffi. Esha took off the ring she was wearing on her ring finger.

"Son Raffi this ring I return..."

Esha grabbed Raffi's right hand and placed the ring on Raffi's palm. Raffi stared at the ring and then grasped it tightly. Her tears are melting again.

"Sister Raffi may Raffi live happily with Aulia..."

"Esha.. May I hold you one last time?"

Esha was shocked to hear Raffi's request. Esha turned towards her mother as if asking for permission. Then Ms. Dahlia nodded her head. Esha and Raffi embrace each other. Raffi hugged Esha very tightly as if he did not want to take it off. Raffi felt there was warmth and comfort he never got from another woman when hugging Esha.

Raffi took off his embrace and slowly kissed Esha's forehead.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Raffi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." says Esha and bu Dahlia.

Raffi took his foot out of the house to the taxi. Aulia approached Esha and hugged her.

"Alesha I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Because of me you guys are like this..."

"No Aulia, it's not your fault. It's God's will..."

"Alesha. may you find your happiness, take care..."

Aulia took off her embrace.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Aulia.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Esha and bu Dahlia.

Aulia went out and approached Raffi who was standing next to the taxi. Esha and Bu Dahlia stand on the porch of the house to take them away. Before entering the taxi Aulia waved her hand towards Esha. Esha also replied. Raffi looked at Esha for the last time. Suddenly their gazes met. They could still feel their unremarkable heartbeats when looking at them. Raffi and Aulia get into a taxi. The taxi moved slowly. Raffi glanced at the rearview mirror to see the reflection of Esha's shadow until it disappeared from his view.

(the voice of Raffi )

Is this what you call LOVE???

Why does it feel so painful when two people who love each other can't have each other???

For the first time in my life I fell in love... Why does it feel like God is hurting???

I used to be an arrogant man, like foya foya, like drunken drunk, like to play women, and do not know the word love in the dictionary of my life...

But ever since I met him, I felt that something was catching my attention that I wanted to get to know him better, get closer to him, and want to protect him...

It was from him that I knew love...

She was the only woman who could melt my heart, tear down my arrogance, and turn me into a better person...

She was the only one who made me feel comfort and warmth with her....

Is this the end of my love story???
