We, Without Me

We, Without Me

“In this story there is no me, only you and us. Don't we mean you and me? But why is our story different?” Speech through a vibrating voice Yuki is able to hit the interlocutor, silencing lips that suddenly freeze with a tongue that is mute.

Keven shook his head quickly, rejecting the expression Yuki threw. He scooped his face rough. Gently gripping the partially broken and unplugged hair.

"No ... That's not all right. Without you all this means nothing. There's no us without me and you, Ki!" firmly Keven loudly, his voice echoed all the way to the ground floor.

Luckily the volume of murder news from one of the television stations mastered the hearing of the twilight couple who were swept away in the cradle of the horror of the information presented. Although it is undeniable that the minds of the two parents are raging, branching out on the figure of the child and son-in-law who are believed to be arguing violently upstairs.

"But in fact it is like that ... We are, without me!! All this time it was just about you ... What do I mean here? NOTHING!!" reply Yuki did not lose his challenge. It releases a restrained tone without hesitation. Let her in-laws hear, Yuki has resigned.

"I am now at the point of giving up. Let go of me with open arms, for I am more than fed up with just thinking about this matter!"

"You just need to stay by my side. No need to fight any harder, just be quiet to see my current struggle. Let me fight for you ... Please, ki, I beg ...," pinta Keven wailed, but only the trunks got.

"You know, this hand is full of wounds ..," said Yuki Nanar as she raised both hands with open palms. He extended the trembling hand toward Keven and said, "a long time knit the bond you forced, but you tirelessly put distance, extending the rope so that you can stay away from me ... Stupidly I survived. Hope the rope shrinks by continuing to knit hope. Now, not only is it a wound, but I'm also tired, unable to distort our already messed-up bond." The open palm was crumbling through the air, clenching firmly against the pained chest along with the tears returning.

Yuki roared, freeing the roar that scratched the tear bag. He fell on the floor of the room with his body shaken violently. The legs are weakened, unable to support the body weight that actually gets smaller. Only rely on a clothes of dirt and high collared to cover the collarbone and elbow that increasingly show its shape.

For Yuki all this time the word 'we' in her household was just a false hope. We who only filled Yuki's empty body with a soul that was slowly killed. He is meaningless, neither does Keven want. Bound without compassion which from the beginning refused to defend themselves, until finally had to fight alone to the point of giving up again. How lyrical.

Depressed, Yuki was really very depressed with various problems coming hitting the streak.

"No, you're not stupid ... I'm-I'm the stupid one. I was a fool for too long to realize how much you meant to me in my life."

"My decision is final. I want us to make it easy. Enough to get here."

"I'll never agree with this lawsuit. You will never get my approval! We can't get divorced!" keven is firm.

“Hahahahaa ...." The laughter boomed, mocking Keven's words that sounded steady and triumphant. He rubbed the rough tears with snot with his sleeves, rising from a terrible sitting that looked slick. "You think this is a soap opera that without your signature we can't get divorced? Don't be naive of you!!” Yuki shook her head. There is the rest of the tears that still pool while smiling sideways.

“Hellooo ... This matter will continue with or without your consent!!" lantang Yuki said, looking at Keven's nyalang who was now fixated, sculpting with the brain frozen not warted.

True, without Keven's approval as a defendant, the divorce proceedings will still take place in court. Yuki as a wife has the right to file a divorce suit against her husband which in this case is Keven. There is no law that prohibits a wife from suing her husband. What else as the paradigm of society if you have to get the consent of the husband if you want the divorce lawsuit can be processed by the court.

Tak.

The black cup rang out loud as the bottom intersected with a simple glass table. The hot steam from the jasmine-scented tea water wafted out, forming a frightening puff of steam for the tongue and lips that wanted to sip it.

“Before I wanted to ask ... Do you want me to treat you as a friend or client?” yogi asked as he folded his hands in front of his chest. He looked seriously though with a small twitch on his lips.

“Law-savvy friends,” Keven replied. His eyes glared with his face turned away.

"What do I need to do now? Didn't my mending come in court later?" keven said again, continuing the question that had been delayed due to the scream of a boiling water pitcher.

“Oke .. As long as you know, the defendant is not present, then the right of reply is considered non-existent. Indirectly it means you agree or do not dispute the content of the lawsuit lo wife,” explained Yogi directly at the core of the problem that Keven just described. As someone who is struggling in the world of law, of course, it is not difficult to give Keven an understanding of the problem.

Keven, who had furrowed his brows and forehead, digested the essence of the explanation Yogi conveyed. He now has no choice but to attend, as his absence did not make his divorce immediately annulled.

“And the bad news for you, although there is no claim your wife can still be processed and approved. Depending on the important points that your wife has made when filing the lawsuit. Especially if your wife has strong evidence that can encourage her application to be approved ... Lo done!" the sarcastic Yogi relaxed, further lowering the dark clouds on Keven's overcast face.

"If I hadn't been there, would my divorce have been void?" keven asked, still hopeful.

"As I said earlier, fifty-fifty. It can be canceled, but it can also be approved. It all depends on the point of the lawsuit. What else if your wife as a cooperative plaintiff, all that would be possible if the lawsuit is approved." Yogi paused his words. He lifted the cup of tea with the steam still steaming, it was blown slowly and was sipped slowly.

While Keven who is upset, dizzy, riled and upset can only support his forehead using both hands resting on top of the thighs.

Not long after the sound of the cup hitting the table was heard again, followed by the voice of Yogi who resumed his words. "And the only way you have to do this is to appeal. If no? Yes, when the final verstek verdict was handed down, at that time your wife was a widow, you were widower and you were officially divorced ... You try to persuade your wife to withdraw the lawsuit."

"If it doesn't work? He was so stubborn he didn't want to give me a chance to fight. Even now Mama and Papa I also have given all the decisions to him to continue his life in the future what it will be like ... Here I am not only limping, but also without support anymore. I'm really sorry I didn't notice him."

"Sorry before, I thought you were okay with your wife. But it turns out to be more complicated than it looks. So my advice you have to come, just follow all the process while maintaining him. Reassure your wife that you are serious about improving your relationship ... Want to use the services of my law firm? But I'm not the one who's accompanying."

Another place, another conversation. Under the darkness of a night accompanied only by flashlight lighting sits as high as 20 centimeters, a trio of scripted fighters are preparing to hunt for data. They are none other than Yuki, Dimas and Ara.

Actually they have not pocketed a license to down research both from the department and faculty. But for the sake of preparing a submission proposal that is in sync with the results of tests that want to be done in the field, minimize the theory and reality that must be faced, then with the determination of the three want to explore the sea of night.

"Just be here, no need to come, don't load the can."

"Why don't you tell me in advance that you have to spend the night like this?"

"The bag likes to stir itself, make it bother. Lagian down kayak gini is also common, the name is also a child marine fisheries. The tide of the sea is uncertain, sometimes afternoon, evening, morning, even night kayaking now."

"Better you one sampan same Mas. I want to find another boat. You just wait, there must be a fisherman who can rent the boat again at once between us tonight."

"Kan Bener Mas became a scene himself ... Already here, count and keep things Ara same have Yuki, Dimas."

"Dimas came along but Mas was told to stay here??"

"Should we see that bucini couple without a snack?" chirps Dimas suddenly while grunting sebal. He gave a quick glance at Yuki who was apparently cool in chewing the sandwich. The girl commented a small smile at the sweet scene in close proximity in front of her. But the observant Dimas actually saw the look in Yuki's eyes and lips that exuded the opposite meaning.

There's a split camp here? The team that asked Yuki and Keven to get divorced or better, for example?😄

Thank you for waiting for Yuki's story and there is no end to support my writing🥰
