The Single Parent

Religious Court

"Mom..I left first, take Vano!" I said goodbye to my mother while kissing my mother's hand that was getting older.

"Be careful Rin, what time will you be home?" ask Mother.

"Maybe the sublime ma'am, this is going to the Court to take care of my divorce" I replied.

Time showed that at 8am Arinda immediately rode her motorcycle to the Religious Court, almost a year Arinda did not meet her husband, her heart was still very sick for all her betrayals.

Arriving at Arinda's religious court immediately to the information section, it turns out that her husband is already there waiting for her.

"Mas Ardi... Has it been a long time?" my broom.

"Lumayan" he answered accordingly.

"Rin however Vano will come with me" he said later.

"What....??" I asked in great surprise.

"Just take Vano, I can't, I don't want Vano to follow your behavior" I said.

"It's like this divorce that I'm going to hang" he said.

"Not much talk we meet in court later I'm lazy to talk this way with you" while running away from Mas Ardi

Mas Ardi chased after me and grabbed my hand

"Let go of my hand you are no longer my muhrim is not it you have divorced me religiously in front of our extended family" I said sternly

slowly Ardi let go of my hand and we headed towards the information section.

In the information section there were some people who asked, I waited for a while.

"Sir... sorry to ask where the divorce filing section is?" my many.

"Sana Bu" said Mbak who was in the information section while pointing at a room.

"Thank you Ma'am" I replied and headed for the registration room followed by Mas Ardi.

Entering the registration room, there are two fathers sitting at each table.

"Assalamualaikum" said.

"Waalaikumsalam" an officer replied

"Please sit, Mother, can we help you?" continued

Mas Ardi and I sat in the front seat of the officer.

"Sorry.. We want to file for divorce on the terms of how?" Ardi asked the officer.

"This is who's asking?" ask the officer.

"I Sir" replied Mas Ardi.

"Bring the original ktp, photo copy ktp, original kk, photo copy kk, original marriage certificate and photo copy?" continued the officer.

"Yes take sir" I replied as I opened the bag to retrieve the map containing the requested files.

"Father of this blank and what is the reason for divorcing your wife?" tanyakanya.

"Let's see what this father's wife lacks? beautiful right? want to find something how else?" kelakar.

"I no longer fit my wife, often quarreling. He always suspected that I was out of the house" said Mas Ardi.

"Refer again sir, after the quarrel was the roof of the household and the household of Mr. Mother is still running 3 years so it is common to adjust the habits of the couple" the officer advised.

"Can't sir, I can't keep the same he eats liver always" I said.

"Eat the heart how's Mom?" ask officer.

"How not to eat the heart of Sir, try to imagine if you were me, Father,

this is my ex-husband's work is not clear that I can still understand sir, it continues to be jolting women here and there women do not hurt me" I said.

"How do you know your husband is a motorcycle taxi driver so he can replace the people who were hugged" said the officer.

In the heart of this father really kebangeten deh hmmmm.

"Pardon me, I'm open here otherwise we can't be separated, it's not that you want to be separated and want to be as cool as your women without fighting with me every day" I said.

He just nodded his head.

"Sir let me sue for divorce if the reason my husband is not accepted.

Sir. I have a child, I have, the child is still 3 years old this child alone barely he lives let alone me and I this one year have separated the house so for one year more this is no inner living as well he didn't give a wife almost as long as we were married can be asked directly to him" my story goes.

With a deep breath I continued the story.

"You know.behind me he plays women and that I know for myself he chose the old woman over me and her son what I defend from this household if not divorce" continue story.

The officer listened to my story carefully and said "Mom can be the reason I wrote yes" the officer said.

Mas Ardi and I waited quietly for the officer to type in our divorce filing file.

"What if my child comes with me?" asked Mas Ardi on the sidelines of the officer typing our file.

"It seems heavy but later please discuss the time of the trial" replied the officer.

"Mother please sign this here and here" the officer handed us a paper pointing to the place we had to sign.

"Please go to the room in front to pay the registration fee" the officer said.

In the heart of Alhamdulillah.

Rushing me and Mas Ardi left the room to the payment counter

waiting to be called by the counter officer.

I sat next to the mas ardi while looking at the many people who registered for divorce from young to old there, he said, in my heart I don't know what happened in their household is the same they feel as I feel I don't know suddenly Mas Ardi surprised my daydream.

"Rin let me pay even if you file our deal first" he said.

I just nodded.

In my mind just wanting to get away from this man and raise a loving child was not in my mind to remarry after this, she said, I just want to work a career raising a child that surely in the future I become a father as well as a mother.

But...what if the custody of the child is taken away from him? not feeling tears almost falling from my eyelids, I looked down while wiping the tears with my hijab.

A voice from the counter called my name.

"Arinda Widya Arini"

The counter clerk called my name and rushed me to the counter followed by Mas Ardi.

"This is the money" said Mas Ardi giving some money to pay for our divorce.

"But Ma'am has a return" the officer said.

"There will be our officers who come to Mother's house after it has just begun the trial is awaited ya.." explained the officer.

"When is the trial going to be?" my many.

"The estimated date of May 8 if there is a retreat will be informed" he explained.

"Yes thank you" I replied, bringing proof of divorce and change and I stepped out of the religious court.

When entering the parking area.

"Rin let's eat first" pinta Mas Ardi.

I just followed him from behind without a word in my heart if you could be this kind of nice to me and so loyal men there's no way we'd be here, we could raise Vano together.

"Oh yes this is the change of money" I said while giving some money.

"You give me to Vano" replied Mas Ardi.

"There's no need than Vano you'll take" I replied in an angry tone.

Arrive at the canteen Religious court.

I eat chicken and vegetable soup and pesen drink warm tea, actually I've no appetite but let's just say respect him, he said, maybe this is also the last time I ate with him just two, Mas Ardi took sour vegetable rice milkfish and iced tea.

After the meal we left the religious court going home to each other's homes.
