The Love That Is Taken
Our Marriage is Over, There
The wife doesn't care. He then leaned on Mina with insinuating questions, “Saudari Mina, frankly I was astonished. Why since the meeting at the cinema first that you always follow wherever Mas Jonathan went? Whether in the gym, restaurants, even at weddings like this you show up too. Didn't you already know that Mas Jonathan was married? Yes I am his legal wife!”
Mina just gawked at the words of Theresia who seemed to label her as a woman chasing people's husbands. He looked at Jonathan in wonder. “Bro, you said your wife has improved her mental condition. But I see no, yes. It's even getting worse!” he said with his tongue sharp. His heart was grimly humiliated by his best friend's wife in front of the crowd.
“Basic brash women!” exclaimed Theresia while advancing forward to push Mina. But his efforts were hindered by Karin. Finally he himself was exposed to the encouragement of his boss' wife to fall down.
Jonathan was surprised to see it. He intended to help his secretary but he saw that Mina had done it. The man then turned around and said loudly to his wife. “Come home!”
Immediately, Theresia pulled her hand and forced her to walk out of the room. No matter the dozens of pairs of eyes of the guests who witnessed his rude behavior. Arriving at the exit, he saw Simon and Mila blocking him. His father-in-law looked at him with concern. “Why would you pull your wife's hand like that, Jon? Poor, he's in pain.”
“Papa, please..,” hiss the princess was terrified. Never in her whole life has she been treated this harshly by her husband. In public anyway!
Jonathan took a deep breath and handed Simon his wife's hand. “Papa, Jonathan is really sorry. This is me giving back Theresia to Papa. I could no longer stand his unstable mental state. I'll go home to pack up and leave for good. The obligation at the office will be completed immediately and report in detail to Papa in one week,” he said firmly. “I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've made so far. Thank you for all your efforts Papa and Aunt Mila to reunite me with Theresia again. But sorry, I finally decided to give up. Our marriage is no longer helped..”.
Without any more ba-bi-bu, the man who had reached the end of his patience left his wife, father, and mother-in-law who could only stare at him stepping into the church parking lot. Moments later came the sound of sobs that Teresa was so heartbreaking.

“Sorry, Mr. Jon. Is your decision to divorce no longer considered?” karin asked when he met his boss two days later at the office. He was very confused why the misunderstanding that occurred at the wedding buffet tantenya to culminate in the divorce of the boss with his wife.
Jonathan did not answer the secretary's question. He asked if the girl was okay when she fell due to Theresia's impulse. “Oh, I'm fine, sir. Just a normal fall, really. After all, Ms. Theresia didn't mean to push me. It's my own fault why trying to prevent him pushing Mbak Mina..”.
“Thank God you're okay. Please apologize to Miss Rosa for making a noise at her wedding. I'm really sorry.”
The secretary smiled sweetly and said, “Tante is okay, sir. Even he and Om Bernard did not know because they were in the toilet at that time.”
“Hah?! Both of them went to the toilet?”
“Baregan but enter alone in the male and female toilet, sir. Throughout the event they will throw to the restroom. Hehehe...”.
The boss chuckled amusedly. This is the first time she's laughed since the embarrassing incident at Rosa's wedding two days ago. After returning from there, he immediately packed all his personal belongings and stayed at a four-star hotel not far from his paint factory. He calmed himself there all day. Stay in a hotel room while watching television. No phone or WA message from Theresia or Simon. Only WA Mimin chat is reciprocated. That's just once too. He apologized for his wife's behavior and said it took time to calm her heart. His best friend understood and did not contact him again until now.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Jonathan started out of the room enjoying breakfast. He then trained at the fitness center located in the hotel. Sometimes he sees his cell phone. His wife still calls and sends WA chats many times, but Simon is no longer. Theresa apologized for her jealousy towards Mina and promised never to repeat it again. Repeatedly he wrote the words I love, you.I’m so sorry..Please, don’ leave me.., and so on. But not a single bit of Jonathan's heart was tapped by his messages in a clear tone.
After the message was sent, the phone turned off. He left the gym and decided to swim to refresh his mind.
It's Monday and he's off to the paint factory as usual. His talking staff seemed to stop their activities and greeted him politely. Perhaps they were gossiping about the shameful happenings in the church. My voice was pretty loud when I told Papa I wanted a divorce from There. Maybe someone heard my words and made them into gossip at the office, guessed it in his heart.
Oh, never mind, how else. I work here for another week. Next I will do a handover directly with Papa. After that I was free to determine my own way of life, he thought in relief. Later after lunch I will see a lawyer to sue Theresia for divorce in court.
“Today, can you find three lawyers whose credibility is quite good in this city and have never been in contact with our company?”
“Siap, Sir. When do you need it?”
“Siang this lunch hour time.”
“Good. Men or women don't matter, sir?”
“Male only.”
“Siap.”
Better men, Jonathan thought. Not to be baperan. I am tired of living a drama, he lamented in his heart. The fresh tea. His head feels lighter now. Suddenly she felt she had to say something to this secretary of hers.
“Karin,” he said carefully. “I want to answer your question earlier.”
“Which question, Sir?”
“Yang about my decision to divorce...”.
“Oh, the..”.
Karin's sitting attitude has now become unsettled.
