When Talak Has Spoken
Chapter 29 Angry Unreason
So far that makes him have not filed a divorce lawsuit, because it has not had a basis to sue the religious court. It would be very funny for the court to grant a divorce suit just because there is no love between the two. The marriage that took place produced children among them.
Bhishma opens the phone and starts recording the conversation of the two in hopes of finding something that will make their divorce trial easy without aral.
A smile began to adorn his lips knowing that his morning breakfast this time gave him an advantage. He wanted to immediately give up his status and give Ajeng a chance to start a new life, and put aside the feelings that began to present disturbing his calm every night before.
“Ajeng the perfectionist woman I know .... “ Hilman starts opening talks.
“True. I am very impressed with his character on that one,” praise Sigit chimed in.
Bisma sneered at the compliments of the two men behind her who were unaware their conversation had been recorded and would be used as evidence.
“I just found out that she separated from her husband over the past year ... “
Bisma frowned hearing Hilman's words later. But he still prejudiced upside down with the real reality.
“Ajeng never told me about his household. Hendra also did not want to tell the cause of Ajeng's separation and her husband. I'm sure, both have the same character, idealist.”
“If you've been waiting that long, why not find another woman? Are you single?”
Hilman smiled wryly at Sigit's question that continued to pry information from him.
“I've known too many women from grade A to the lowest though. My game with girls has ended the last two years since I've known her. At the age of 38, I just want peace and comfort. In Ajeng I found what I wanted .... “
“Cuih .... “ Bisma spits hearing the talk of Bisma.
“Do you know how you feel?”
Hilman nodded faintly and agreed slowly. His sight looked far away. He has expressed his feelings several times, but Ajeng still thinks he is joking.
Bhishma further sharpened his hearing. There has been no sign of the conversation happening to be used as evidence. He was still curious about Hilman's confession.
“Ajeng once said, that he is comfortable with his solitude. She just wants to raise Lala and help the less fortunate children who come with her .... “
“It was indeed the nature of Ajeng. What I heard from his partner, he could at least see people in distress, because he was also born from a difficult family,” continued Sigit interrupted Hilman's speech.
“Do you know Ajeng's ex husband?” Sigit was curious about the figure of Ajeng's ex-husband.
“For what to know Ajeng's past? I only want to give happiness if he accepts my good intentions. We will step together for a better future.”
“Is it possible Ajeng hasn't moved on from his ex?”
A faint smile flashed across Bisma's face hearing Sigit's sudden question beyond her expectations.
“No,” replied Hilman quickly, “Ajeng will be angry if I offend it. He just said he wasn't ready to make a commitment. He only focused on his daughter and her business.”
“Actually it's easy if you want to speed up Ajeng to accept your application .... “
“How?”
“You just approach his daughter. I'm sure slowly Ajeng will open his heart to you. Women will easily be devastated if their daughters begin to feel a sense of dependence. Understand what I mean?”
Bhishma's hand clenched hearing the conversation of the two. How could his daughter be used as a tool to win Ajeng's heart. Is he ready to take off his little daughter who is now starting to stick in his heart....
Bhishma shook his head considering that he had no right to be upset or angry, because Ajeng was not his anyone anymore. But Lala ....
“You have experience like him,” Hilman laughs a little at Sigit's words that make enough sense to him, “What sir Sigit already married?”
Sigit shook his head quickly. His preoccupation with attending school and pursuing a career left him no time to find a companion. He believes over time he will find the right person.
When meeting someone who has shaken his heart, it turns out to have been owned by someone else. But hearing the whispers of the wind that told about the failure of his household made Sigit excited again.
He tried to find more information, until the mutation worked to find out everything. This is where he is anchored, hoping there is still hope for the love he wants to reach.
“Or ever close to Ajeng?” Hilman was not satisfied with Sigit's answer which invited a big question mark on his head.
A faint smile was present on Sigit's face. Back he shook his head looking at Hilman's probing gaze at him. It turned out that the woman he wanted had a candidate in the future.
“How does Mr Sigit know Ajeng?” curiosity was present in the mind of Hilman saw Sigit's attitude that was so attentive to Ajeng and always came every morning for breakfast.
“Me and Ajeng once worked in the same place,” Sigit's gaze turned on the natural scenery that plastered refreshing in the cafe restaurant page.
He recalled the first time he set foot in one of the banks owned by the Surabaya city government. His eyes continued to steal glances at the calm figure who commented on the thin smile during meetings and introductions to the staff he would lead.
Curiosity makes him read all day the bio of the officers who will help him in his work. Disappointed he could not avoid knowing the status of the employee on the first day had made him feel different.
Although not spoken Sigit directly, but Hilman felt that the former superior Ajeng also had special feelings for him. He did not want to speculate further. Soon he will introduce Ajeng to his parents.
“I love Lala like my own daughter,” Hilman started to switch the conversation.
He is worried now he has a new rival to get Ajeng. It does not rule out the possibility of young men who have been Ajeng's superiors will move in silence.
As the saying goes ‘before the yellow janur curves, everything can happen’. And Hilman did not want his efforts to be with Ajeng in the future to be in vain.
“I can see it,” Sigit said as a mangosteen, “May your wish be realized as soon as possible. A nice girl and she is different from every one I know.”
“As your suggestion, it looks like I will give more attention to Lala,” Hilman said slowly, “During this is my closeness and Ajeng's daughter is still lacking.”
“If a child has felt dependence on a figure he considers close, it is impossible your desire to edit Ajeng faster.”
“I think what Mr. Sigit said makes a lot of sense. All this time I never saw Ajeng's ex-husband come to visit.”
“Pak Hilman can replace the figure of a father,” continued Sigit instantly, “If the inner bond between his daughter and the man who can replace the father figure that was never present in Lala's life, <TAG1>If the inner bond between his daughter and the man who can replace the father figure that was never present in Lala's life, I'm sure Ajeng is getting touched.”
Bhishma's jaw stiffened at Sigit's thoughtful speech in Ajeng and his daughter's life. His clenched fingers held back the anger that suddenly made his blood flow rapidly throughout the body.
He felt he could not accept the two talking about Ajeng and Lala who note the closest person in his life. What else is Lala his little daughter who is now the target of the second conversation.
Bisma can only withstand the overflow of emotions, because it can not pause the conversation of the two men who still continue to talk casually full of familiarity.
Hilman smiled with relief at the sincerity that radiated from Sigit's eyes as he said it. No more worries that had alighted in the chest seeing the familiarity that occurred between Ajeng and his superior.
“Aamiin. Thank you for your prayer. I also pray the same for Mr. Sigit.”
The two ended the conversation as soon as Ajeng arrived before them while bringing the already beautiful and fragrant Lala to rejoin.
