Two Rings

Back Home

In Doctor Radit's car, Rissa could only fall silent. Not a word was said from his lips, he just stared blankly at the road through the car window.

Doctor Radit who had noticed Rissa, did not intend to reprimand or disturb the calmness of Rissa. He made room for Rissa to keep quiet, allowing Rissa to calm her heart.

"I have to leave right now from home" Rissa murmured in her heart.

"I have to go home, to where I belong."

Rissa had been steady with her decision, she was even ready if she had to leave Mother Anna whom she had considered like her own biological mother.

"Sa," said Dr. Radit.

Rissa looked over, "yes, why, Doc?" Ask Rissa.

"Are you okay?" Ask Dr. Radit.

Rissa smiled faintly, she nodded her head weakly.

"I'm good, Doc." Rissa denied, however, that she did not want to burden others with the problems she was facing.

Doctor Radit briefly looked at Rissa, it seemed he understood that Rissa was covering up her sadness.

"If you want to cry, cry, Sa. Put everything away" Doctor Radit asked.

Rissa smiled wryly, "there's no point in me crying, Doc. I knew it was going to happen like this from the start, and I knew what I was going to do. My marriage to Mas Dion was only legal in the eyes of religion, but not in the eyes of the state. I have no right to demand anything if one day Mas Dion dumps me, because I have no recognition as Mas Dion's wife in the eyes of the state. And from the beginning, we were married only to descendants. Now, things are this mess. It's all because of me, and I have to end it all." Rissa said with feelings that can not be imagined like what, not many people know how a second wife must be forced to marry for a reason that not everyone can accept.

Doctor Radit can't cope with anything, he also empathizes with Rissa's current status.

"You're not alone, Sa. I will always be there for you" said Dr. Radit, but he could not speak to Rissa directly. Doctor Radit just holds her in his heart, he understands this is not the right time for him to openly express his feelings for Rissa.

***

Inside Melati's house, Melati immediately met her father.

"Who's visiting, Mel?" Ask Melati's father who does not know the arrival of Rissa also Dion.

"Mas Dion and Rissa, Dad." Melati answered lazily.

Melati's father fell silent, "want they here?" Ask.

Melati did not answer, she even discussed something else.

"Well, tomorrow it will take me to file for divorce with the religious court. I want to, right?" Ask Melati.

Without thinking for long, Melati's father immediately agreed to her son's request.

"Father will always be there for you" he said.

Melati was relieved, at least she still had the strength to remain patient for the sake of the Father.

***

Doctor Radit has just arrived at the residence of Rissa's mother-in-law, he also escorted Rissa to the porch of the house.

"Thank you, Doc. Sorry to be such a hassle" said Rissa.

Doctor Radit smiled, "i don't feel at all bothered, Sa. I'm glad to have you," replied Dr. Radit.

Rissa bowed her body slightly, "thank you once more. I'm sorry I couldn't offer Doctor Radit to stop by, I'm not good."

Doctor Radit understood, he also still understands the condition of Rissa at this time.

"If so, I say goodbye first. You rest" Doctor Radit asked.

Rissa nodded her head, she waited until Doctor Radit's car passed from her residence.

After that, Rissa immediately entered the house and immediately intended to pack her things.

Without seeing the in-laws first, Rissa rushed into her room.

He put all his things in, and not to forget, he also prepared a letter to give to his mother-in-law.

Rissa held her big bag, she also walked very slowly. Before leaving the house, Rissa placed the letter she had made on a table close to her mother-in-law's room.

"Mom, I'm sorry Rissa. It's not that Rissa doesn't think about Mom, but Rissa really can't carry on with this. I wish you good health here, Rissa loves me." Rissa's inner voice, slightly evoked her current feelings.

"Rissa said goodbye, Mom." His lips spoke very slowly.

Rissa began to step her feet, out of the house that had been overshadowing her.

The house where it all started, and the place where it all ended.

***

Rissa looked at the building, where she grew up as a child.

His thin smile was disguised, brning water was now welling up in his eye pelup.

Rissa took a deep breath, she started to step inside towards the orphanage where she came from.

"This is my place, this is where I come from and where I belong."

Rissa circulated her gaze, looking at her surroundings full of energy.

"Goodbye Mom, good-bye, Madam Melati, and good-bye, Mas Dion."
