When Marriage?

34# Divorce

Fandy stopped his car in the old town. The place where they used to both go to the night market and eat meatballs together.

"Gapain come here?"

Raline asked Fandy.

"It's just this place that reminds me of you and I want this last moment of ours, we're re-engraving the memories here. Down yuk..!"

Fandy. Raline just nodded and smiled. Fandy opened the car door for Raline. Fandy posed as if he was welcoming a queen who was about to get out of the carriage.

Raline smiled at Fandy's behavior. He hesitantly welcomes Fandy by the hand and gets off the man's car.

"Eat meatballs yuk"

Take Fandy. Raline simply nodded, then welcomed Fandy's hand and walked hand in hand amidst the crowd in the old City.

They eat meatballs together, walk to the night market and enjoy the music of the old violins of street musicians.

They repeat memories that remind them of happiness. There are not many memories between Raline and Fandi. But, just one memory is so meaningful this time before the breakup actually happened.

They looked happy that night. But they can't deny the sadness is there. Deep down in each of their hearts.

Fandy embraced Raline's waist while they were in the crowd. Then Fandy whispered in Raline's ear.

"Maybe every time I miss you, I'll come here to spend some time just remembering you"

Raline looked into the eyes of the man who was getting wet by the puddles of tears. Then Raline smiled wryly, it turned out that parting was so difficult than starting to love someone. The feeling left behind will hurt the heart left behind. Empty feelings will continue to envelop an empty heart due to the departure of a loved one.

Raline tried hard and smiled. Raline clasped Fandy's hands together, then kissed him on both cheeks.

"I just stopped by Fandy for a little while, don't ever remember me again. Life must go on, inevitably life continues to run we just carry out our respective roles said Raline"

Fandy looked at Raline disappointedly, his tears dripping down his cheeks. Fandy realized, separation will not occur if he still maintains Raline. But the woman's kindness made her give up. There is more important than love, the parents.

Fandy gently stroked Raline's face, he looked at the woman he loved with all his satisfaction. Then he lowered his gaze.

"How can I forget you?"

Fandy asked, still staring at Raline's face in the crowd.

"Thank you we never met"

Raline said with a smile. Fandy laughed, then kissed Raline softly.

"Don't ask the impossible for me"

Fandy said, then he took Raline's hand to his car. Raline followed the man's steps with a sliced heart. It felt like Raline was stopping time, but it was impossible.

Time will keep moving. What we have passed by now, will be a memory until we close our eyes later on. That is why, many people are trapped in memories that have passed.

Though life and new stories will begin. But memories and memories will never be lost in our minds and hearts.

Fandy leads Raline to Raline's house. The man stared fixedly at Raline's face. Fandy hugged Raline tightly, They both cried. Fandy gently kissed Raline's lips, then gently kissed Raline's eyes.

"May we still mate later on"

Fandy to Raline. Raline just smiled and opened Fandy's car door. Raline went down and waved her hand at Fandy and Raline opened the fence and disappeared from Fandy's sight when Raline closed the fence again.

Fandy was silent behind his wheel, he wiped the tears and drove back to his car.

*

A week passed, since the last time Fandy and Raline met. Today, each of them had already received a divorce letter.

Fandy was pensive in his office chair. He stared blankly at the divorce papers of himself and Raline. He sobbed, regretting why there had to be an agreement between him and Raline. So that makes evidence for Carolina separating herself and Raline.

Fandy was determined, he would not give Carolina the slightest happiness in their future marriage. Now he just wants to take advantage of Carolina to make his Daddy alive and well.

Raline was crying in her room with the divorce papers in her hand. Now he receives the consequences, because he has played tricks on marriage. If his meeting with Fandy was not like this, maybe their relationship would not end like this.

Raline cried regretfully and lamented her feelings of disappointment. Raline was determined, she would never marry again after this. It was too hard for him to start a new love and too hard for him to forget what had passed.

That morning, he was ready to go to his office. Raline went down to the dining room, as usual she and her parents had breakfast together.

Since the last time Raline said her protest to her mother, Since then also their relationship has become distant. Raline was more silent while eating together, as well as her parents who did not want to offend Raline anymore.

After finishing breakfast, Raline headed to her office. After arriving at his office Raline also parked his car, then he got out of the car with a bag and several maps in his pocket.

Raline went inside his office building. Now, every time he goes into his office lobby. Raline always glanced towards the sofa once occupied by Fandy. He smiled as if he was going to smile at Fandy. That was all he could do right now, after the breakup and the memories he had to carry alone.

..

From outside Raline's office, Fandy noticed Raline who had just arrived at his office. He looked at the woman with longing, then he smiled and cried.

Seeing Raline secretly has now become Fandy's routine as he leaves for his office. Seeing Raline every day, made Fandy feel calm in dealing with every problem he faced at this time.

"I'm sorry"

Her speech. Then Fandy drove back to his office.

Next week is her wedding day with Carolina. Fandy does not want to take care of everything that concerns his marriage to Carolina. He handed it all over to Carolina and her Mommy.

Fandy does not want to take a headache, all he needs to do is get married and live life as usual.

...

"Why are you Ma'am?"

Sinta asked Raline who was busy in front of her laptop.

"Eh tumben lu early in the morning has arrived at the office"

Raline smiled at Sinta.

"Yes mbak, the tumben tumben his street is not jammed"

Sinta said, while putting a bag on her desk.

"What's wrong, Ma'am?"

Ask Sinta again.

"Oh, I'm looking for an S2 scholarship"

Raline replied, without looking at Sinta. Sinta also approached Raline and followed by looking at the web that was being read by Raline.

"Outside the Country? seriously lu?"

Ask Sinta again. Raline simply nodded as she continued to seriously read the web page listed on her laptop screen.

"Why is it abroad?"

Ask Sinta again.

"Kc.. You bring me concentration again"

Raline replied while looking at Sinta with a puffy face.

"Your sensitivity is now Ma'am, would I like to make some coffee? I want to make coffee, guys"

Sinta.

"Can"

Sahut Raline while throwing her sweet smile to Sinta. Sinta just splashed her lips at Raline, thus making Raline laugh amusedly.

Then Raline drowned again in the search for a scholarship for herself. He continues to surf in cyberspace looking for the info he needs.

Raline's determination is unanimous, she wants to study abroad to forget her memories with Fandy.
