Turning Point

NINETY-THREE

The morning mist looked so thick it enveloped the layer of air this morning. Even though the clock has shown at six, it still looks so dim. And the sun's rays don't seem to be able to penetrate it.

Three months have passed. This morning Lintang was preoccupied with preparing to attend the second hearing of her divorce suit. It turns out the divorce lawsuit is not as simple as he thought. There are many procedures to be done. Starting from the registration of cases, making news events and so forth that make it always go back and forth to the Religious court. She thought, maybe it is better to be directly talak by her husband than to file a lawsuit that turned out to actually take a lot of time as well as energy. But anyway, this is what he has to live.

After undergoing the first trial one month ago, today is the second trial and the last trial for him. At this hearing, Lintang brought two witnesses, and Lintang asked Tomi and Sugeng for help to become witnesses.

Lintang ordered a grab car to take her to court. His motor suddenly broke down, requiring him to use the application to get to his destination.

"Are you ready?", asked Ratih's mother when she saw Lintang standing on the front porch while waiting for the driver to come.

The latitude smiled thinly. "Inshaallah the latitude is ready ma'am".

Ratih's mother hugged Lintang's body. "Bismillah, hopefully this is the best way. Trust me you are strong to face and live this all".

Latitude nodded. "Inshaallah Strong latitude ma'am".

Ratih's mother stretched her arms. "You want to accompany me?".

Latitude shakes. "No need ma'am, Lintang himself came to court. God will not be long".

Ratih's mother nodded while rubbing Lintang's shoulders. Shortly after, the car that was waiting for Lintang came.

Latang kissed the back of Ratih's mother's hand. "The star goes first, ma'am".

Ratih's mother kissed the head of Lintang. "Be careful, son!".

Crosses into the car. Slowly the car drove and left the Lintang home page.

*****

The Lintang trial will be held at eight in the morning. And now at exactly eight o'clock, he was already sitting in front of the courtroom. He spreads his gaze around. His eyes widened to see there were many young women his age who were also sitting in front of this room.

The latitude wondered inwardly. Could these women also have the same case with him?, divorced from his partner because of an affair?, he just looked at them with a pushy gaze.

Latitude tightly grasped both of his hands. His chest seemed to rumble and pound violently, and his cold sweat came out all as if to be a sign that he was nervous at this moment.

I don't know what makes him so nervous, but soon in the eyes of the law and religion he officially separated from Agum. Could he be nervous about the status that he will soon hold?, the status of a widow at a relatively young age?, or what?, really only he knows.

"Lin?!", call someone who turns out to be Tomi.

The latitude was aghast from his daydream. "Mas Tomi?".

Tomi and Mr. Sugeng just smiled thinly, then they sat on the bench next to the latitude.

"What time will Lin start?", asked Tomi to break the silence.

"Inshaallah in half an hour".

Tomi nodded while smiling knots towards the Latitude.

"Mas?!"

"Yes, Lin".

Lintang sighed deeply. "I'm sorry for all the things that Mr. Agum has done to your family".

Tom smiled faintly. "Why are you the one who apologized to Lin, even though Agum himself did not have a good intention to meet me and meet Reni's extended family to apologize".

Lintang was flabbergasted to hear the answer from Tomi, who seemed as if there was still a grudge in his heart. "Mas Tomi can't forgive him yet?".

Tomi smiled bitterly. "It's very hard to forgive everything Lin. This incident is so ripping me apart". Tomi stopped her speech then exhaled a rough breath. "But with this incident, I'm grateful for one thing".

Lintang looked at Tomi's face with question marks. "meaning?".

Tom smiled meaningfully. "With this incident I learned to forgive and to learn about a sincerity I got from you. You know Lin, here you are the most injured, but you can easily forgive all these circumstances without a single grudge. You also look so strong in the face of all this. I'm ashamed of you Lin".

"Mas__?!"

Latitude tears suddenly dripped. If you discuss the subject of children, somehow his heart like slashed sembilu. In the end, it is the children who are the victims of this situation the most.

Lintang sighed deeply. "Hopefully we can be equally strong to go through this all. I'm not as loud as you say, either. I'm very fragile, but for my son's sake, I try to live this whole thing sincerely".

Tomi smile. "I don't understand what's inside your husband Lin's brain. So easily he turned away from a woman like you".

Lintang smiled bitterly. "I'm also just an ordinary woman, maybe there's something that Agum doesn't get from me and instead he gets from your wife". Latitude held onto her chest that felt so squeezed. "But again, this was all a test of marriage, and I lost".

Tomi shakes. "No Lin, you're the winner. Let's see, your husband will definitely live in a regret that will have no end".

"Either mas!".

Tok...

The sound of a hammer on the trial table resounded in this room that felt so silent. Earlier the presiding judge read out his verdict. And the hammer's knock was a sign that if from this second on, the latitude officially parted from Agum.

Again, the tears were dripping without excuse. His chest really felt so tight, considering what had happened in his household that he had built with Agum. All the sweet and bitter memories seemed to swirl in his memory, and it turned out that this day was the end of his household journey with Agum.

The latitude exited the trial room with a careless pace. He then sat on the bench in front of the room while lowering his face trying to master all the turmoil in his soul. Pain, regret, as if raging in his chest. Many times he held his chest trying to escape all the inner burdens he felt.

"You need this?", said someone standing before the Latitude.

The latitude lifted his face. He was shocked, seeing a man in front of him at this moment. "M-mas Hanan?".

Hanan smiled faintly. "Wear this deck, otherwise your hijab will be wet with your tears" Hanan said as she extended a handkerchief towards Lintang.

Lintang received a handkerchief from Hanan and tried to smile. "Thank you for that". Lintang sighed deeply. "When was Hanan here?"

Hanan sat beside the latitude. His gaze led to the wall that was in front of him with a blank look. "Since you entered the courtroom earlier. How?, is everything going well?".

The latitude nodded slowly. "Yes, everything is going well". Suddenly her tears flowed again. "I-I've failed, I've failed in defending my household, ma'am!".

Hanan looked at the pity of the woman beside him. He wanted to hold the fragile woman's body, to give her strength, but whatever the power, he had not the right to touch her.

"A-is God going to hate me for choosing this path of divorce?", continued Lintang with his sobs.

Hanan's eyes stared at the shade of both Latitude eyeballs. "Although divorce is something that is hated by God, but the way of divorce is also allowed when there is no more sakinah, mawadah, warahmah in marriage". Hanan breathed out slowly. "Trust me, this is the best path God has chosen for you".

"Why is this all happening to me mas, why?!", lacar Lintang like so frustrated over this situation.

Hanan smiled wryly and stared at the Netra Latitude fixedly. "Because you are able to deal with all this. Is it not clear in our book that God will not give a test beyond the limits of His servant?, if you are experiencing this situation, that means you can get through it all".

The latitude was transfixed hearing every word spoken by Hanan. He then rubbed his face rough. "Astaghfirullahal 'adziim".

Hanan still smiled at her. "It's the deck, everything's gonna be fine". He then moved from his sitting position. "Let's go home. After getting out of this place, promise me, if you will become a more formidable woman than before".

Lintang returned Hanan's gaze in shady anyway. He put a little smile on his lips. "Inshaallah mas".
