The Love That Is Taken

The Cry of Husbands in Different Places

I showed her my feelings a few times. Did he realize it, huh? she thought the girl was upset. Well, even though I'm not the smelly girl who just fell in love the first time. Why is it still not good at hiding feelings in front of people I assess, huh? batin Karin fools herself.

“Tomorrow if there is no news from the employee of the apartment manager before twelve noon, I will be invited by Mr. Jon again around looking for another apartment. Pleased, anyway. But if I slip again how, yes?” ask Karin to herself. Well, confused me.  She was taken away afraid that my attitude would show her my love for her. I am not invited to go, my heart always wants to be with him.

“Pusing, dizziness!” screech the girl while holding her head and shake her tightly.

Meanwhile, in his hotel room, Jonathan deletes all WA Theresia chats, most of which he doesn't read. The messages read on average apologized for troublemaking at Rosa's wedding and begged the man to return home. His wife's WA number was blocked. Suddenly he remembered something.

He took his wallet in his briefcase. He opened it and immediately saw a photo of his wedding ten years ago. He watched for a while. She and Theresa laughed happily at their wedding. With a heavy heart he said in a soft voice, “I'm sorry, dear. No one wants failure in their marriage. I've been trying my best. I am still an ordinary man who has weaknesses. Goodby. Hope you can find your own happiness after our farewell.”

Take the photo out of the wallet. Torn it into small pieces. I don't feel like his eyes are wet when he does. The removal of the photo of his memories with Theresia who had been torn into the trash. Her ring finger was plain without a wedding ring. The diamond-encrusted white gold ring was placed on her bedroom dresser on her return home from Rosa's wedding. At that time he immediately packed up and brought all his personal belongings to this hotel. The hotel is close to the paint factory where he works every day.

Jonathan's eyes aren't just wet. He cried sobbing in memory of his wonderful memories with his wife. He began to pray Catholic. Begging God for forgiveness for being forced to part with a life partner who actually should not be divorced for any reason….

Theresia stared at the nanar on her phone screen. His eyes looked puffy from crying every day. He has also eaten a little for the last three days. Simon and Mila tried to persuade him to swallow more rice and side dishes. The father, anxious about the psychiatric condition of his only daughter, advised his wife to hide all sharp objects in their house. She fears that the events of Theresa threatening to kill her husband when Jonathan first leaves the house will reoccur.

But his son no longer thinks in that direction. Throughout the day his activities were just crying and trying to contact Jonathan constantly despite being ignored at all.

Mila volunteered to accompany her stepson to bed every night. Theresia who during her childhood lack of parental affection can only nod resignedly. He feels he needs tremendous support right now. Mila, who is not blessed with a biological child, is trying to be a good mother. Theresa kissed both cheeks before going to bed and embraced the woman affectionately. The relationship between the two became increasingly close. The stepson poured all his regrets to have wasted Jonathan's affection all along. Mila just listened to it without commenting in the slightest. Now it's time to listen to Theresia's outpouring of heart. Instead of judging her, the disconnected wise woman inwardly.

As Mila entered her adopted daughter's room that night, she was shocked to see the depressed woman scattering towards her and screaming hysterically. “Tante Mila! Jon blocked my number! I can no longer call or send her WA messages. All my chats just tick one now. Check one!”

Theresia's crying got louder. “Everything is done, Auntie,” the whim is poignant. “Truly done...”.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Jonathan received word that his offer to the apartment yesterday was rejected by the owner. It turned out that the person thought the nominal Joshua offered was too low. He then asked for a raise of ten million per year.

The prospective tenant smiled at the review of the work of the apartment manager who called him. The unit will fall into my hands soon, the man's inner self-confidence. Then he told the woman to increase her offer by five million per year. “This is the last offer yes, Mbak,” he said confirmed. “If the owner of the apartment still objected, it means we have not been paired. Please notify me immediately. Thank you,” he concluded with great dignity.

“Good, Sir. I will inform the owner and notify Mr. Jonathan immediately,” replied the friendly nun on the phone.

The man stopped their conversation and returned to work. Suddenly she remembered to call the female lawyer who used to take care of Mina's divorce. He took his cell phone and called the man. There was a busy voice across there. Hmm.maybe I better just send the WA message first, break it in my heart.

Hello, Ms. Lucia. My name is Jonathan. I've obtained your WA number from my best friend, Mina Sunyoto, whom you once helped with her divorce case. It just so happens that I now need the services of an attorney to handle my divorce case. Can I consult with you? Thank you very much in advance.

Jonathan looked at the sentences he typed on the phone one by one. “It seems to have been quite polite my words,” he said reassuring himself. “Ok, click send. Done,” said satisfied.

Suddenly his phone rang. He was picked up and there was an excited voice of the apartment manager who contacted him again. The man smiled triumphantly listening to the notice from him. He listened carefully to the words of the woman while occasionally answering briefly like yes, well, and thank you.

After his talk on the phone was over, the man opened his cell phone gallery and sent a soft copy of the ID card and Family Card to the woman's WA number. He said he needed both of Jonathan's personal documents to take care of the deed of rent in a notary.

Finally this one business is sorted out as well, the inner man was relieved. Now it's just waiting for a response from the lawyer named Lucia. Ah, it was almost twelve noon, he muttered inwardly looking at the wall clock hanging on the wall of his room. It's lunch time. Eating alone or taking Karin, huh? thought gamang.
