The New Chapter Of My Life

Episode 10 Attending a Divorce Trial

The second scheduled hearing, held on Tuesday at half-morning, was held at the North Jakarta religious court.

For that, Dona left for Jakarta alone using an afternoon flight the day before. Then, he stayed at his parents' old house, where he occupied his old room, the room before he got married. The room is still the same, just a different bed and wardrobe. Build-in hanging cabinets are still installed as before.

Actually, this room has been occupied by Andre's cousin, but at that time Andre was still in college in Palembang.

Dona sat on the bed, looking around her room first. There is a longing for the atmosphere of the room that he used to occupy with Hana, since he was sixth grade Elementary until before marrying Tyo.

The memory of his togetherness with Hana also sprang up in memory. How he spent his school holidays redecorating his room. Painting the wall to the ceiling, repeatedly he did it together with his brother.

The closet above the bed is the result of his design, which he used to fill with all the collections of books and key chains, as well as drawing equipment that he used during college.

The memories came to a halt, when the sound of the room door being knocked from the outside was heard.

"Yes, come in" replied Dona.

Bulik Yuni, the wife of Lik Edi, entered the room.

"What time to the court?" tanyakanya.

"Schedule the hearing at half-nine, what time to leave, Bulik ?"

"Then ask Paklik. For tomorrow, Bulik be with you first, tomorrow will be the first time you come to trial."

"Thank you Bulik, oiya Wawan has come?"

"Not yet, try calling."

"Oiya, later Lik Eddy will talk, all dinner," continued Bulik Yuni.

"Okay Bulik, I called Wawan first."

"Yes, I'll wait under eight and a half, yeah."

"Good, Bulik."

After Bulik Yuni came out of the room, Dona immediately contacted Wawan.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, where have you been?" ask Dona.

"Already in front of the fence, open Ma'am !"

"Yee, push the bell anyway."

"Yes, it's been done," replied Wawan with a laugh.

Dona turned off her phone connection and headed downstairs to meet Wawan.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Wawan saluted.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Dona as she opened the living room door.

"Alhamdulillah, until also. Jump in, yuk," take Dona to the living room.

"The lady's coming?" ask Bulik Yuni who met in the family room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bulik," greetings Wawan.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Eat the pempek first, mumpung still warm," Bulik Yuni offered.

Bulik Yuni is a native Palembang, where every month, he always got the delivery of various pempek and Palembang crackers from his brother who still lives there.

"Alhamdulillah, the right laper nih," said Wawan who without waiting immediately enjoyed the special dish of Palembang.

Before long, the sound of a car entering the carport.

"Tuh Lik Eddy just came home," said Yuni.

"Assalamu'alaikum," greetings lik Eddy.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Have you come ?" greet lik Eddy while approaching Dona and Wawan.

After shaking hands, he sat together to enjoy the pempek.

"Where is Don, ready for tomorrow ?" ask lik Eddy.

"In God's word, the ammunition is complete!" answer Dona spirit.

"Alhamdulillah."

"Tomorrow trial at half-nine, right ? you're leaving at half-eight, afraid it's stuck" suggested lik Eddy.

"Okay, Lik."

"Yes, Paklik wants to rest first, continue eating pempeknya," said lik Eddy who then went to his room upstairs.

"Siyaaap," replied Dona and Wawan.

"Sir, what's the plan tomorrow? Tyo must be angry to see Mbak coming," asked Wawan.

"Biarin, angry about his business, any harm to himself, make a lawsuit because the contents make beautiful all," replied Dona.

"What room are you sleeping in?" ask Dona.

"Yesterday, I was in Alif's room."

"Ooo, yo wes I want to take a shower first" said Dona.

Moments later, Isya's ba'da they regroup for dinner together.

"Where is Don, your preparation for tomorrow morning's hearing ?" ask lik Eddy.

"Allah is full of ammunition, the evidence of Tyo's affair is the same all refutations of his demands are complete" replied Dona.

"May the trial run smoothly. One thing paklik want a message, you must be calm do not get carried away emotions. So that you can smoothly answer all the questions that will be asked at the time of trial. The point is calm, yeah."

"Excellent upload" replied Dona.

Late in the night, Dona is preparing to rest her body, but before that, she re-read Tyo's lawsuit, to prepare for his defense tomorrow morning.

After enjoying nostalgia, sleeping in her old room, the next morning, Dona woke up refreshed and full of positive feelings to welcome her maiden trial later.

A few hours later, Dona and Wawan were ready to go to the North Jakarta Religious Court.

"Wait a minute, Paklik also want to go to the office," said Yuni bulik.

Before long, Ik Eddy met the two in the living room.

"Yes we have left now, hopefully smoothly later the hearing will be yes," said Lik Eddy while greeting Dona and Wawan.

"Aaaminn, thanks Lik."

Dona, Wawan and Bulik Yuni left for the North Jakarta Religious Court using a daily vehicle at home, driven by the family's personal driver Lik Eddy, who was driving the family, while Lik Eddy used the vehicle he used to go to the office.

Moments later, they had arrived at the North Jakarta Religious Court. Then, Dona went to the PA officer, to inquire about the location of his courtroom, as well as sign the attendance list. After that, he and Yuni's bulik waited in the waiting chair in front of the courtroom. Wawan is waiting in the lobby. Dona looked around, where from the moment she did not see Tyo's presence at all in the waiting room.

Maybe he was late, Dona thought.

Just at half-nine, Tyo and Dona are called to enter the courtroom.

Tyo is seen walking in first, followed by Dona and Wawan.

Lah, has he come? Where did you meet earlier? dona muttered.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Dona said, greeting the judges.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered the judge.

Seeing Dona's presence, one of the judges asked, "So today, Dona's mother is already present huh?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Dona.

"Then we start now."

"Well, Mr. Tyo, Mr. Dona is here, will the lawsuit continue?" ask the Chief Judge.

Tyo looked at Dona with a clear expression, making Dona, who had memorized the hypocritical face of her husband, choose not to care about it, but looked straight ahead.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Tyo replied in a tone full of doubt.

"It's like you're not sure of your decision. Here and there. You guys have three kids, girls all right ?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Tyo.

"Then make peace. Not to continue, everything can still be discussed. How ?" advice from the Chief Justice.

"No, Your Honor, I would like to continue" said Dona confidently.

Tyo again gave a clear expression, this made Dona immediately ask permission to submit an answer to his lawsuit.

"Oh, so Miss Dona is ready, then we ask for her file to be expanded five times, four for us and one for Mr. Tyo. In the meantime, please go to mediation room two," said the Chief Justice while knocking his hammer.

The clueless Dona asked, "Mediation room ?"

"Yes, you are talking about what the problem is first, accompanied by our mediation officer," replied the Chief Justice.

"If the trial alone can't?" ask Dona.

"If Ms. Dona refuses, the court costs will be borne by Ms. Dona" replied the Chief Justice.

"Then I mediate" said Dona decided.

"Please Mr. Tyo and Ms. Dona to the mediation room. Mr. Tyo, here is the letter of introduction" said the Chief Justice.

Dona, Tyo and Wawan walked out of the courtroom. Then Tyo handed the mediation cover letter to the secretary of the mediation section, who was in front of the courtroom.

"After the mediation room in the two out, you can go directly in" said the secretary of the mediation department while submitting the case file to Tyo.

After that, Tyo approached Dona with a face full of emotions.

"You said you wouldn't come ! keep on why now you come, use bring all the files ! what is that ? do you want to make a new story again ? uh remember yeah, you ruined my job, is that still not enough? you still want to ridicule me here ?!" hardik Tyo

"Eh I can not stay silent if in slander, your lawsuit is a lie all ! you think I'd be quiet if it was slandered like this !"

"I'm not slandering, it's reality!" reply Tyo.

"You really are not clear, so you can not distinguish between reality and hallucinations of your own creation !" sergeant Dona.

However, Tyo kept nagging indistinctly and insisted that he was the one being slandered and that it was Donalah who destroyed him.

Dona was tired, then left Tyo who still remained angry unclear.

"Wan, you're not human, it's weird !" said Dona who began to ignite emotions.

Wawan also approached Tyo and did not know what Tyo said, but Wawan was seen only once trying to refute Tyo, then left Tyo himself who still remained angry alone.

"Sir, I don't think it's okay for people ? I've stayed, but he's still nagging. Who's that nagging to?"
