What a Beautiful Divorce

12. You're right, Prapto

Since receiving a flower throw on the wedding day of Prapto and Silvi, Timo felt his household that had indeed retreated was increasingly experiencing a setback. Tini, Timo's wife who is one of the feminists in this country, increasingly late home with a man who often takes her to work. Reason, overtime.

That morning Timo told his wife that he would go to work first. After getting out of the fence, Timo headed straight to the stall near his house to order coffee. His obstinacy made Timo not have a good mood to move lately.

After Timo saw Tini leaving for work picked up by the man who used to drive him, Timo also finished the coffee he ordered and returned home. How hot Timo was to see Tini smiling so sweetly before opening the car door, even sweeter than his smile to Timo.

Prapto's words when they last met made Timo keep thinking about the voyage of his household's midwife. Now Timo is sitting in front of the sofa while looking at the content of the yutub entitled: Signs of Cheating Wife.

Every point read by the content creator always makes Timo's blood rustle, every sign of it is on his wife. 'Not sure .. not sure yet. This is just the opinion of people, he said in his heart. Timo still insisted that his conjecture was wrong, even though his instincts had told him a long time ago.

Timo paused his yutubnya. He then turned to the table because he heard the clang of the cellphone notification. When Timo checked, it turned out that the notification clang came from the HP Tini that was left behind and unlocked. Timo swiped the phone's screen to prevent it from being automatically locked.

Since they dated, Tini never wanted to show his phone to Timo on the grounds of 'privacy', a reason that is often used by people who cheat, both cheating on short messaging applications, and the, they cheated directly, and both cheated.

Timo's heart rate is getting faster when his hand will click on the short message application on Tini's phone. He was afraid that his conjecture would be proved, because deep down Timo was convinced that his wife was unfaithful.

'You're a fool, Timo!' Prapto's words he always thought of made Timo immediately take his wife's phone and take it to the sofa. He opened the Tini messaging app. The top message, the ringing notification, is from the office group.

The second series of messages is a message that makes Timo frown, because the message reads the sentence 'Okay, Darling' from a contact named Mila. Timo.

Timo scrolls through Mila's chat room which turns out to be regularly talking to Tini every day. He then watched the conversation. The conversation Tini and Mila always empty between hours before leaving for work until the hour home from work.

Timo scrolls down the short message again, and his eyes suddenly widen to see the last short message from Mila, which reads: Tomorrow office is off, we go to the beach, yes, dear! I picked up the morning as usual so your husband wouldn't be suspicious.

"TWOARRR!!!"

Once again lightning struck right in front of Timo. Know he now that Mila is not a woman, but a one-office man who often picks up between his wives. Suddenly Timo misses Prapto, his best friend who has not hesitated to criticize him, even scolding him when he is wrong.

Timo then grabbed his phone and called Prapto's number. He wanted to tell a story, he wanted to thank his best friend, and he wanted to ask Prapto for advice on what he should do about his wife's affair. But, the voice of the mobile operator who said the number was not used made Timo more lethargic.

Even under such circumstances, a weak and indecisive man like Timo still did not know what to do. Timo actually knew, even he knew very well that he had to divorce his wife without shady aling-aling, like a real man.

"You're right, Prapto ... You were always right. Damn it .." whispered Timo with great bitterness. Disappointed tears flowed slowly over her cheeks.

That afternoon, Nimo drove a motorcycle at moderate speed, heading to the town of Keladi, a small town located not far from the village of Kejora. Behind him, Prapto sat with great concentration, because the basket of crops he held should not fall.

In the basket held by Prapto there are chicken eggs, fruits, and duck eggs. There was a feeling of happiness in the hearts of Prapto and Nimo when their harvest during the half-month gardening could finally be sold.

"In two weeks we can sell vegetables, boss. Most of the vegetables we grow will be harvested after a month. Chili, tomato, potato, and so on still take more than two months" Nimo cheered while driving.

"Yes, Nimo. Then we have to check prices to supermarkets and malls before our vegetables can be harvested."

Arriving in front of a large shophouse, Nimo then brought the harvest basket inside. While Prapto, he stood watching an inscription on the top of the shophouse: Flying Horse Corporation. Prapto knew that the name was the company where Silvi's husband worked, the CEO of Cuek.

***

Silvi is married to Tristan, the CEO of Cuek who works at Kuda Terbang Corporation. In contrast to Prapto who ultimately could not be deceived and subdued, the cold and cool Tristan turned out to be very easily made submissive by Silvi after they married.

Just like the CEO novels that Silvi read, Tristan's cool and cool look only appeared at the beginning of their meeting. Just four days into their marriage, Tristan unceasingly gives Silvi a gift, gives her baseless praise, and says that she is infatuated with Silvi and cannot live without him.

In his office room, Silvi spoke with her role model, one of the women who entered the top list of domestic feminists, namely Rini. Rini goes straight to Silvi's desk as soon as she sees her best friend is done from a wedding leave.

"Well, CEO Cuek's wife has already entered the job. What, your dream husband, isn't he, Tristan? It's handsome, modern, cold, rich anyway," asked Rini excitedly.

Silvi smiled. "The modern woman's dream, because she is easily subdued. He praised me constantly, even though there was nothing I did that deserved to be praised. Tristan also used to say that he was crazy about me and that he wouldn't be able to live without me."

"Well, so sweet to Tristan."

"No, Rin. I was disgusted because he praised me without me doing anything worthy of his praise. The effect is weak, and it's more likely that he says he can't live without me.

"Unlike Prapto, especially when we were about to divorce, I really liked the firmness and firmness of the Prapto principle at that time. Even at that time I had thought about quitting work so that Prapto would not divorce me," Silvi said honestly.

Silvi knew that his words would be immediately refuted by her friend. And sure enough, Rini's eyes instantly exuded her typical feminist sparkle. "Don't be stupid, Silvi! An old-fashioned guy like Prapto is that interesting? You should be grateful to have a husband like Tristan."

Rini continued, "Don't be fooled, Silvi! Aren't you heartbroken about being divorced by that old-fashioned man? You, a successful and beautiful career woman, simply dumped her."

Silvi was silent for a moment. "Yes, he dumped me, Rin. But, isn't it my fault for not wanting to be a good wife to her?"

Rini shakes. "Since when did the Silvi I know become this weak? You're not wrong, Prapto is wrong. Did you accept being divorced by that old-fashioned man? Did your parents accept it? Therefore, you must make Prapto regret divorcing you!"

Silvi fell silent. He then nodded. "Yes, at least he should regret for divorcing me. He had to live a hard life so that no woman would want to be his wife" Silvi said.

In her heart, Silvi did not justify her words just now. Silvi knew that Prapto would not regret, unlike her now-repentant self for having made Prapto divorce her. Silvi wants to carry out his plan not out of heartache, but because he does not want Prapto to be owned by another woman.

Rini smiled with satisfaction. "It's time, Sil, because Tristan will definitely respond to your request. If Tristan objects, let him sit down for a day! I guarantee he'll freak out and finally fulfill your request. That's what I've been doing all this time if my husband doesn't want to comply with my request. Our husband is both a dream husband who submits to his wife."

***

That night Silvi accidentally watches TV on the sofa while waiting for Tristan to come home. He will tell Tristan about his plan, the plan to make Prapto's life so difficult that no other woman will be with him.

'I know that I was wrong, Prapto, I'm sorry. I love you, therefore, no other woman can have you, ' Silvi said in her heart as she chewed the fries made by her domestic assistant.
