The Love That Is Taken

The Love That Is Taken
Be Friends Before Divorce



Theresa went into her bedroom. Jonathan sat down to the woman. He opened his white t-shirt. Theresia's heart beat fast watching the burly body that used to always be the place to lean.


Jonathan's wife gulped. He longed for her to cling to that mighty back to give her husband strength. But he held back his desire. He did not want the man to be suspicious of the true purpose of coming here.


A coin and a small bottle of Jonathan's favorite eucalyptus oil were removed from his bag. After a long sigh, Theresia began to pierce the silky yellow skin in front of her slowly, forming a deep red slash-slant. Jonathan was silent and not complaining at all. Sensitivity to the sensori reduced considerably due to the carefree and shivering conditions experienced.


"Drink it can, Mas. But don't overdo it. Take care of your body" Theresa advised her husband, continuing to poke. The man was silent. He enjoyed the warmth of the eucalyptus oil that began to seep all over his body. Theresia's moving movements began to make her body sweat. His shivering began to diminish.


"Thank you, There" he said, turning his back on his wife. "If there were no you, I might still lie helpless on the bed."


"Don't Jon usually drink strong?" tanya Theresia pretended to be astonished. "Just had a black beer already collapsed like this."


The man gave a long sigh. He recalls Karin's betrayal. His heart was extraordinarily wounded. Maybe it will heal long ago. The feeling of losing the girl he loved the most as well as the baby whose hope really made him slump.


Jonathan felt in the clouds when he first learned about Karin's pregnancy. He felt very grateful to still be given God the opportunity to have offspring from the womb of a woman he loved so much. But in an instant, everything was destroyed. His beloved betrayed and at the same time lost the life of the fruit of their love.


"Today left me, There," I'm the man frankly. He felt that there was no point in hiding the reality from his wife. "In order to reunite with her ex-boyfriend. More sadly, he dropped his contents without telling me first...."


Theresia stopped her scraping activity. She shuffled from her sitting position to be right next to her husband.


Jonathan continued to pour out his heart. "If Karin really does not want to babysit our child," she said with teary eyes. "I don't mind being a single parent. I'll take the boy alone. Karin's actions really ruined my life! I feel stabbed in the back...."


The tears of the man fell. He no longer cried in front of his wife. No matter who he is, he will be humbled and humiliated as a crybaby.


Sontak Theresa hugged the husband she loved the most. "It's okay, Mom. Cry as much. I understand your heart. Trust me, I get it...."


The woman's heart was relieved when the husband welcomed her embrace. I'm sorry I made you suffer like this, Jon, and his mind feels guilty. I promise to redeem your broken heart now by being a faithful woman beside you no matter what....

Theresa and Jonathan's relationship is getting closer. The man considers his wife like a loyal friend who accompanies him when in distress. Until finally one day Lucia called him to tell the schedule of the second trial of her divorce. Jonathan immediately contacted Theresia to confirm that.


"I've also been told my lawyer, Mas," the woman replied flatly. "Two days, right, the trial?"


"Rubber," answered her husband steadily. "See you in court, yeah, there."


Jonathan paused for a moment. He saw a calendar hanging on the wall of his study. "Tuesday, right?" he answered the wife's question.


"Monday is Tuesday. Hehehe.., as well as my thirty-fourth birthday," Theresa replied with a chuckle.


"Oh, sori I forgot," Jonathan said as he patted his eel. "Happy birthday, There. May the long life, health, and happiness always be blessed."


"Thank you very much, Mas Jon," the woman replied cheerfully. His heart was so flowery. "Will you accompany me to celebrate, Mom? Just having dinner at home tonight. How's it?"


Jonathan was silent at his wife's request. He does feel comfortable now being friends with a woman who will soon be divorced with him. But it's awkward that he celebrated Theresa's birthday at their home first. The man was worried that old memories would come back when they were alone there.


For Jonathan now life is more practical if it is not too close to women. The failure of her marriage to Theresa followed by Karin's betrayal had inflicted a painful wound on her heart. Enough already struggling in a relationship of romance, break it in the heart. Next I will focus my life on work, work, and work.


But.., it's the big day there. When my heart disappoints him? oikirnya. Birthdays are only once a year. Maybe I could propose celebrating somewhere else.


"Where, Jon? I'll see you at the house at seven tonight, okay?"


"Hmm.., Sora, There. Can it be celebrated elsewhere? Not at home. I. I feel uncomfortable seeing Bi Sum and the other helpers."


"Oh, I see," answered the disappointed wife. But not Theresia Hidayat name if it is easy to despair. "Then is it okay in your apartment, Mom? I'll bring food and drink. You don't have to prepare anything. Once it's done, I'll go straight home. How's it?"


Jonathan scrunched his forehead. Why is it in my apartment? Is there no other place? Can you eat at a cafe or restaurant? thought surprised. But then the memory of the goodness of Theresa grazed her body and accompanied her in a time of heartbreak made the man undo his intention to propose elsewhere.


With resignation, he said softly, "Ok, There. It was in my apartment, yeah. Half-hour seven nights. Cause I usually get there at six."


"Thank you very much, Mas Jon," answered his wife with a flowery heart. She had planned to bring her husband's favorite seafood and wine to enliven the special dinner.


The woman then went to her bedroom. He was getting dressed to go to the mall. The goal is to find a suitable dress to celebrate her birthday with her beloved husband later tonight. The dress should be special, cool, and make it look stunning.


Tonight was the determination for me to reach my husband back in my arms, his determination unanimous in heart. The look on his face hardened, showing the sincerity of his heart that was no longer negotiable.


"I'll give up all my abilities so that Mas Jon will be mine again. The second divorce trial tomorrow will be annulled and no one will be able to interfere with our marriage!"
