When Talak Has Spoken

Chapter 20 Not Knowing Each Other

Bisma was stunned, she did realize after giving birth to Lala, Ajeng's mobility was getting higher. On Saturdays and Sundays that Ajeng usually spent for a few houses and serve all his needs began rarely done.

Indeed, he often saw there was a distant brother who had introduced Ajeng named Hendra with his wife Asih who was dressed covered and veiled.

Since then, his wife has been doing more outside activities. And Bhishma never disputes everything. Since the beginning, he has limited himself to interaction.

He most do not like to be disturbed if he is focused in his work space, whether it is on Saturday or Sunday. Because the one in his brain only works, while the other number so.

Now Andrean's gaze focused on Bisma. His eyes turned towards Ajeng and returned to Bhishma with full investigation.

“I am suspicious .... “ Andrean said with a frown, “Did Mr Bhishma know bu Ajeng? Or have a close relationship?”

Suddenly Andrean's question made Bisma surprised. How could Andrean who works as an entrepreneur and became his traveling companion be able to draw conclusions as soon as this.

“Why can Mr Andrean argue like that?” Bisma did not answer directly.

“The appraiser team will investigate the background of SMEs and UMKN to see the flow of funds in the business process they are engaged in before rewarding their performance.

This is done to prevent money laundry that is already very rampant. And we learned that Ajeng's business was purely from his own pocket. And I was little informed that Ms. Ajeng had separated from her ASN husband named Bisma. Or just by chance the name of her ex-husband is the same ...?”

Bisma smiled wryly without wanting to answer Andrean's question. He did not want to get caught up and justify Andrean's absolutely right prejudice.

“Why is such a thing you are in? Isn't that already in the private domain?” Bisma said with uneasy feeling at Andrean's questioning full of questions to her.

“If it is not true thank goodness... “ an understatement smile rises on Andrean's face when he says it right in front of Bisma, “Bu Attractive female. Must be many who want to be close to him .”

Bisma just smiled wryly hearing Andrean's words. Now his gaze was directed back to the stage. Beyond a doubt his name is called to give awards to business people who are still waiting on the stage, who previously Andrean had first climbed to the stage to give awards in the form of certificates and coaching money.

Beyond the power of the bisma, he represented the Office of Industrial and Trade Cooperatives of Malang district to submit a bouquet and certificate and money coaching to Ajeng who was awarded as the best MSME actor with several existing participants who because they had creating jobs for micro-businesses in various fields.

Ajeng's chest thumped violently as his eyes stared at the standing figure of the VVIP chair and walked ever closer towards him. He never expected to meet the former whom he had avoided the last six months so the second time talak spoken on the lips of Bhishma.

The smile he tried to display at all when the sturdy figure stood gallantly in front of him. In his heart he cried withstanding sorrow. Why must be reunited, while his heart is still treating lara who was left behind due to the cold attitude of the husband who is now an ex.

“Thank you,” Ajeng said quietly as his eyes collided with Bhishma.

Ajeng quickly turned his eyes away when Bhishma's gaze was still fixed on him. He only cupped his hands together in his chest as Bhishma's hands stretched out to shake his hand.

Seeing Ajeng's actions made Bisma look at him in disbelief. I didn't expect to get a reception like this. Wherever he is, he will receive warm and respectful welcome from those who meet him.

But here, now ....

This quickly the woman who had given her a daughter was indifferent.  Inner Bhishma did not accept Ajeng's treatment just now. He felt that he had no mistakes as long as they were married. Moreover, Ajeng is the type of woman who never protested over all his attitudes and behavior while together in one roof.

From where he was sitting at this moment the gaze of Bhishma still led to a single point. He did not expect Ajeng to be asked to convey a word of whitewash as evidence and share his experience of his achievements as a new player in the world of MSMEs but has received a huge appreciation from the local government and the central government.

Ajeng's calm and soft voice was heard in the ballroom of the Grand Mercure hotel hypnotizing the guests who were there. Bisma can see how Ajeng makes everyone enthusiastic and focused on hearing his words.

“ ... thanksgiving I always offer to Allah SWT for all the gifts that have been given to me. Thank you to the parents who have guided me so that I can stand on my own feet to help our brothers who are still lacking. As well as my little daughter as an encouragement and a breath of my life in a career to benefit society .... “

Bisma was stunned to hear word for word gliding on Ajeng's lips which were so eloquent and relaxed in giving and sharing experiences as a young entrepreneur in his field. In my heart there is a little disappointment. He knew for sure that, because he was also self-aware why it was not mentioned in the prestigious moment.

“Wah, single parent ... “ whispers of men who are in the circle of the VVIP seat where he is sitting are currently heard in the ears of Bisma.

“This one is clearly a classy widow .... “ Andrean join nimbrung make the ears of Bisma spicy to hear it, “That is like this is perfect to be made ‘future wife.’ Clever managing husband's estate.”

Bisma felt displeased as Andrean patted her arm as soon as he ended his speech just now. Somehow the presence of Ajeng in the same room with him made his body temperature increase. What else do the adult men who have a good family note make the former a hot topic of conversation among their neighbors.

Bisma is still listening to the words of the MC who ended the seminar series as well as awards to business actors who excel in their respective fields.

“Quickly we will have a visit to the place of the finalists who get the award,” Andrean whispered to him.

Bisma did not answer only her head nodded in agreement with Andrean's words that were fixed on her. His brain was still not in sync to think far. Not to mention the issue of romance that makes him have to take the best decision, because this relates to an automatic future is the long term of his life.

And now he sees the former has become a successful woman in the eyes of others, who he himself never knew, and wants to know with his daily activities and activities. But a little bit he understands, this is what makes his e-banking give notifications every time.

One year before he uttered his second talaq, an active banking notification rang. He assumed that Ajeng is a matre woman who only spends her money on things that are not useful.

That is what makes the affection that begins to exist eroded slowly. He disliked the female matre, who made himself a milk cow. Even though he knew it was his duty as a husband.

The meeting with Deby, a woman dressed modestly in a graceful and feminine style made him find another figure who he thought was the woman who was the same frequency with him.

The first meeting occurred while he was still active in the Jakarta Regional Government. Deby who was part of the protocol there looked different in his eyes. Deby's figure looked so graceful with clothes covered. He was aware of many eyes of Adam who showed interest when chatting or just chatting normally.

Until finally Bhishma transferred the task to Malang, he was grateful for the extraordinary, because it was very coincidental Deby was mutated in the same place as him.

Every travel wherever Bisma is not dear to spend money for Deby after three months togetherness they went through. Now what he saw, he felt and he thought was all completely unexpected. Surprise that made his brain need to relax. But what he believes now is that Deby's move was not a coincidence, but something that was indeed planned.

Bisma tries to get her thoughts out about Deby draining her brain enough. He wants to focus on the activities that are going on.

Now he is still listening and has not issued an opinion on the talks Andrean and the expert staff of three ministries who plan to take to the field see firsthand the activities of SMEs and MSMEs that have been appreciated of the three ministries.
