The Pawned Marriage

Trash Pairs

Present at the trial, Nafisa was accompanied by Maryam, Mbok Mi, Lasti, Mikail, and Maryam bodyguards who were also furious with Reno Barlian's behavior.

Although Zayn strongly disagreed with Maryam's involvement in Nafisa's affairs, Maryam and her army set out to support Nafisa.

Reno came hand in hand with Dela. As if there was no problem, it nodded at Nafisa's glance and then sat a little far away.

Mikail as a lawyer does not want Nafisa to talk to Reno. Many times his clients tried to talk to Reno but always failed in painful and humiliating ways.

The veil hid the tears. Heart pounding hard to endure the pain of seeing the intimacy of Reno and Dela.

This first trial the judge will examine the dossier proceeding with mediation efforts. Reno's lawyer has confirmed there is no referral.

Nafisa was like being forced to swallow a bitter pill. Now he only hopes to get custody of Aurelie and Milo.

Before entering the courtroom, Maryam said to Nafisa, “Nak, must be rigid. Although this is very painful.”

Maryam grabbed Nafisa's fingers which felt cold and trembling.

“You can. Believe God is preparing a beautiful story for you,” said Maryam assured the fragile woman before her.

Once inside the courtroom, for the first time Nafisa and Reno sat side by side.

Reno answered all the questions calmly and straightforwardly. Showing her steadiness to part from Nafisa.

Mediation was passed without much conversation. Reno only answered her potluck when Nafisa opened the conversation. And eventually they will proceed to the next trial.

Out of the courtroom Reno went straight to Dela without any further ado to the woman who had been with her for years, serving and raising her sons and daughters.

It was as if Nafisa was a nobody.

With an injured highlight, Nafisa gazed towards Reno who immediately embraced Dela as soon as the two met. The man stroked the head of the woman who was carrying her baby affectionately.

“Nafisa, yuk, go home,” invite Maryam who does not want Nafisa long to see the action of bucin Reno and Dela.

Nafisa nodded then followed Maryam. Flanked by Mbok Mi and Lasi, Nafisa's knee feels weak when passing Reno and Dela who like deliberately waiting for him to pass.

The two humans did not know themselves to be laughing jokingly and flirting with each other.

A few steps past his ex-husband and his wife, Nafisa stops. Mikail was immediately on guard. The lawyer did not want his client to recklessly then attack Reno and Dela. That could be fatal.

Nafisa turned her head towards Reno and Dela. Accidentally met the husband who had been looking at her.

The woman was looking to see if there was any flavor left for her.

But there was no guilt, just a cold look. A moment later Reno invites Dela to go to the vehicle.

“Nafisa, do not need to be considered a depraved man like that,” said Mbok Mi while embracing the increasingly thin shoulders of Nafisa.

“Mbak Nafisa, did I just beat that belegug?” Connect Mr. Lingga, the bodyguard who is also the husband of Mbok Mi.

“Eh don't. Let's go again, hunted,” said Mikail. Instead of being afraid, even beating Reno to death he was able to, only surely Nafisa did not want that. Not to mention the custody battle has not started yet.

Nafisa sighed her eyes closed tightly. Trying to cope with the pain that continues to whack.

“Mother Nafisa left the toddler for months. Of course, this is not good for the growth of children. Especially just leave it to the neighbors.”

Nafisa listens to Reno's lawyer who is busy exposing her guilt at the next hearing.

Repeatedly Nafisa shook her head while staring with a masygul look towards Reno. The man could have put all the blame on him.

Mikail whispered, “They want to ruin the judge's opinion of you. Later I will reveal the real incident.”

Mika's turn, the man turns on the TV screen at the trial.

“Father and Mother of judges whom I respect. Within three months, Ms. Nafisa did work as a nurse for Ms. Maryam Malik. But it's not a hundred percent of his will. Ibu Nafisa is a lien on a debt that Plaintiff Reno Barlian at that time could not afford to pay. I submit proof of debt agreement and installments that continue to be in arrears.”

Mikail stared intently at Reno who was also replying with the same look.

Mika continued again, “If from now on the plaintiff's lawyer revealed the ugliness of Ms. Nafisa, then I want the Father and Mother Judge to see the real figure of Reno and Dela.”

Nafisa stared in surprise as this defense was not talked about before.

Mika showed photos of Reno and Delo together taken from CCTV screens of hotels where they combined love.

There is also CCTV video when both of them can not resist the desire to do so in a vehicle parked in the basement.

Nafisa's eyes widened to see the dates of events that even long before her husband's efforts had problems.

Mikail continued to show photos of Reno and Dela kissing, embracing, caressing each other in the elevator, lobby, before entering the hotel room.

Even Mikail showed proof of the penthouse rent for Dela. There are several photos showing Reno coming and Dela opening the unit door for him.

Nafisa. Can't believe seeing that Reno's been fooling him for a long time.

If initially Nafisa feels hurt by a one-sided divorce by Reno. Now he feels so disgusted.

On his seat, Reno looked straight at the judge. His jaw hardened holding in anger. Likewise with Dela who was in the audience seat that day.

“So Father and Mother Judge. Which is more worthy of nurturing Aurelie and Milo? A wife and mother who is willing to become a lien on the debts of her depraved husband or a father who secretly dumped his wife under the pretext of debt in order to marry his dark girlfriend?”

“HOLE!” Shouted Reno suddenly.

“I ... I don't plan to dump Nafisa. Only, it's just that I'm no longer possible with him,” he continued suddenly whimpering.

Nafisa finally spoke up.

“I've been sincere to separate from Reno Barlian. At first I did question because I was a wife who was suddenly divorced, so I had the right to ask. Now I only fight for child custody.”

Nafisa's attitude instantly changed. Now his voice sounded more calm and steady. His love for Reno evaporated just like that seeing betrayal.

To him now the man was nothing more than trash.

“With what will you finance the children, ha? You don't earn,” cynical Reno.

Nafisa was about to answer but the judge knocked on the hammer.

“Please relax. Let this trial decide,” interrupted the presiding judge.

Anger rumbled across Nafisa's chest. The downside is that he is not earning. The house does not have if not given a ride by Maryam.

Mikail understood Nafisa's weakness on the financial side, but her anger at Reno and Dela made her want to continue fighting for Nafisa's rights.

“Father and Mother Judge, as the plaintiff's lawyer said, Aurelie and Milo need the presence of their biological mother. Although they are currently overflowing with material pleasures, but the affection of a biological mother is impossible to replace. And it's not that my client shirked her obligations as mother to Aurelie and Milo. Here is a video call log call from Ibu Nafisa to the children during work at the home of Mother Maryam Malik.”

Mikail submitted evidence that broke lawyer Reno Barlian's argument.

The man came forward to connect his hape with the TV screen.

“Father Reno is married to Mother Dela. I just want to show you how much Aurelie and Milo love you so much. Aurelie and Milo are not lacking anything with Mr. Reno and Ms. Dela.”

Nafisa's throat was choked when she saw her two children look familiar and showed affection to Dela. Video of Dela feeding Milo, leaving Aurelie, playing in the park, even falling asleep on the living room carpet. There's no way it's all set-up, especially against the very expressive Milo.

In comparison, watching the video of Dela and her children was far more painful than the photos and videos of Reno's betrayal. Tears wet the lashes of Nafisa's lashes.

“So your majesty, let us think for the children. Together with Mr. Reno and Ms. Dela, these two children get a complete figure both in love and financially. Indeed they start wrong, but it does not mean for children as long as they are abundant with love and can be met with growth and development needs.”

Reno's lawyer deliberately emphasized the financial side. The point of weakness of Nafisa.

The three judges withdrew to discuss.

Reno walked over to Nafisa's seat.

“Khlaskan kiddies with Brother. They'll be better. Brother and Dela will arrange for them to visit you occasionally,” he said haughtily.

“Until when treasure can buy sincere love? Reno Barlian, I will continue to fight until the children are with me,” replied Nafisa coldly and then took her eyes off her ex-husband.

Not saying any more, Reno turned around then sat down beside Dela. Do not forget to kiss his wife and gently stroke the stomach.

Nafisa no longer cares about the trashy couple who are busy showing affection.

Half an hour later the judge returned.

Mikail whispered, “Whatever the decision, don't act extreme. Don't let them see you as a mother with emotional instability, understand?”

“Their argument is not wrong. For the sake of the children, maybe I will accept defeat. But I will rise in full force, making sure I am a worthy mother more than the woman named Dela,” whispered Nafisa replying Mikail.

The presiding judge read out his verdict.

“Considering the evidence and hearing the sincerity of Sister Nafisa to divorce, then we grant the defendant's request. As for the custody of Aurelie and Milo temporarily fell into the hands of Father, considering that currently the Defendant has not been able to financially. However, as a mother, the defendant still has the right to meet with his children.”

Nafisa tried to strengthen herself. While the faces of Reno and Dela directly sumringah.

“In one year we will evaluate whether the Defendant is eligible for custody because however children who are toddlers are better with their biological mother,” continued the Chief Justice.

The judge looked towards Reno.

“The only reason we give custody is for financial reasons. You and your new wife are not good role models for children. You build a new household on the embers of an adulterous fire.”

Reno's face turned pias while Dela turned a dead red, moreover some of the trial visitors began to look at her with disdain.

Including Maryam and her army.

“Make sure the Defendant gets the right once a week to meet with his children.”

With that the Judge knocks the hammer and closes the trial.

Maryam immediately came forward to embrace Nafisa.

“Mother will help you. Spirit, there is still a chance for you to gather with the children.”

“In by Allah, Ma'am. Bismillah. Thank you.”

Nafisa hugged Maryam tightly, as well as the woman who already considered Nafisa as her daughter.

Reno walked closer to Nafisa and then cleared her throat.

“Nafisa, I ..,” he said.

No tears, no more wounds.

“Ren, a week from now, I will meet the children.”

Then the woman left her ex-husband.

“Nyaho lu, so do not just dip,” said Lasi to Reno with a furious tone.

“Sssh, Ma'am, there's no point in talking rubbish,” whispered Nafisa holding Lasti and left the courtroom.

Nafisa briefly glanced at Dela who was looking at her with a wrathful face.

“Iyo really, let alone that woman. Beautiful also not, the capital snick doang,” reply Lasti.

“Sssh, Fasti!” Tegur Mikail's.

“Heh women hypocrites. Reno won't be tempted if she's satisfied with you!” Shouted Dela furiously hearing Lasti's last words.

No doubt the trial visitors who are still in the room cheer him.

“Uuuu sentence locking actor,” reply a Mother.

“Be willing to fall for biological mother, but failed instead disgrace to open. Gusti Allah does not sleep, Ma'am,” shouted another visitor.

Reno hugs Dela out of the courtroom.

“Reno!” Call Nafisa.

Reno.

“Jaga my children. Do not let there be any injuries,” he said calmly.

Dela turned around to attack Nafisa.

“Job! You think I have to hurt Aurelie and Milo? Your bastard!” Shouts blindly.

Mikail directly protected Nafisa with the bodyguards who were also on standby.

“One touch to Nafisa, we will face. You know who I am, Del.”

Reno gushed Dela away.

Nafisa and the entourage waited until the two creatures came out of the courtroom.

“Spirits, Ma'am Nafisa. I also lost once but then I tried. Now the kids are the same as me.“

“Spirits, Ma'am Nafisa. Sure can!”

Satisfied with the support of fellow mothers, Nafisa thanked and determined will not be long slumped in sadness.
