As per the subpoena from the religious court, this afternoon is the first trial of the divorce case between Adam and Elfira.
It looks like Elfira has come first with her lawyer. There are five minutes left before the trial starts.
Mediation between Elfira and Adam has been carried out. It is certain that Adam refused to divorce and asked Elfira to drop her divorce suit.
However, Elfira remains on her decision to divorce Adam. Because mediation that did not find a common ground, finally done this divorce trial.
The judge had come and sat in his place, but until the time of the trial was over, Adam still did not show his face.
Finally, the first trial was finished without Adam. The second trial will be held in about 2 months. If during the second trial Adam will also not be present, then the judge will grant the divorce lawsuit Elfira.
...****************...
"Lu why bro, lemes is so obvious." Dika approached Adam who was sitting pensively in the office garden.
Since this morning Adam came to the office with no spirit, several times Dika saw Adam always sigh.
"Today's the first trial of my divorce with Elfira" replied Adam lethargic.
When he looked at Adam, he felt sorry for his friend.
"Lu is patient" said Dika comforting Adam while patting his shoulder gently.
"Thanks, bro"
"But if I can tell you why your wife asked for a divorce. Hasn't your marriage been all right?"
Adam was silent, he was confused as to what to answer. All this time, Dika never knew what had really happened in her marriage.
"It's all my fault." Instead of answering Dika's question, Adam blamed himself.
Understanding, that means Adam does not want to tell what the problem is in his experience. As a friend, Dika never forced Adam to tell all his personal problems, and vice versa.
"Hopefully your problems will be resolved soon, but by the way, if today's your divorce hearing, why don't you come to court and sit here"
"Had"
"It's also free that I came, brother. Elfira still won't change her decision either, right"
"At least you tried, Dam. Yeah, even if you and Elfira end up getting divorced"
Adam shook his head, disagreeing with Dika's words.
"Lu don't know, Sister. Here I am the guilty one, want as hard as I try, the judge will still grant the lawsuit Elfira"
"You mean" asked Dika not understand.
"Gue got married again behind Elfira, and I already have a child from my second wife" whispered Adam quietly, but could still be heard by Dika who was sitting next to him. There was regret in Adam's heart, but it all happened. As the word goes, rice has become porridge. That's what Adam is doing right now.
Dika was silent for a moment to digest Adam's words, but then he ...
"WHAT?" When surprised to hear Adam's confession, he did not expect that his best friend had been playing with fire.
"Oath yes, Dam. I was quite surprised to hear your words just now." Dika was silent to see Adam's reaction.
"It is only natural, if your wife supe sugat divorce you" he continued later. "I'm in Elfira's position too, I'll definitely do the same as him"
Adam smiled smirkingly, Dika who could only think like that. Moreover, Elfira his wife, who he had repeatedly hurt. When Elfira first learned of his affair, his wife was still kind enough to forgive him. Even until the second time he was found out, Elfira still forgave him.
And the highlight was when Sandra came to her house and exposed all the lies she had been hiding all along.
Any wife would definitely do the same if she was in the position of Elfira. Which woman is capable of knowing her husband is remarried, and no woman will want to share her husband with another woman.
Adam realized that what he had done had hurt Elfira. And Adam realized, his actions are not worth forgiving.
Because this is the only way Adam can do to make up for all the mistakes he has done so far.
...****************...
"Where was the trial, Fir?" halimah asked when Elfira came to visit her shop.
After the trial, Elfira immediately went to the Halimah store. Before going to court, Elfira had left her son to the woman who was more than half a century old.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly, ma'am. But Adam did not come, so the trial did not take long" explained Elfira who got a nod from Halimah.
"Yeah." Shouted the little Anindya then ran towards Adam who had just entered the store. Halimah and Elfira turned towards Anindya running.
Adam who saw his son running towards him immediately crouched down, then lifted up the small body of Anindya in his carrying. Adam held Anin while walking towards the table of Elfira and Halimah.
"Dad wants to pick up Anin with mom" Anin said.
"Yes, I'm gonna go get Anin. But, I'd like to talk to your mom first, would you?" adam said softly.
"May" answered Anindya, pleading for her release from the sling.
"You better talk and solve both of you're problems" said Halimah, who gave Adam a chance to talk to Elfira.
"Anin, come with grandma to granny yuk's study. Aunty Salma was making a really good cupcake for Anin, later we eat together yes" persuaded Halimah so Anindya would come with him.
Adam immediately sat down before Elfira as Halimah and Anindya left the two of them.
"To the point, no need to beat around the bush" said Elfira when Adam had just landed his butt in the chair in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't come to court"
"Yes good dong," said Elfira quickly. "It's even better if you don't come to the next trial, so our divorce can be quickly completed and it won't take long" he continued, staring intently at Adam.
Adam did not dare to look into the eyes of Elfira, since he had come earlier he only looked down and occasionally glanced at Elfira and then looked down again.
"I'm sorry for all the wrongs you've done to me, Fir. I am not a good husband and father to you. But I love you both so much"
Adam said sincerely from his heart, even he was not ashamed even though he had to let out his tears in front of the woman he loved so much.
"Mas tau, I've hurt your heart a lot. You also know that your actions are not worth forgiving. However, you still have to apologize to you, so that there is no regret in your heart"
Sometimes Adam wipes away his tears that keep flowing. Adam did not care even though the people who were in the store looked at him in wonder. Likewise with Elfira who just kept silent while staring at Adam expressionlessly.
"Mas promise, even in the next trial, mas will not come. In order for the judge to grant your claim immediately" Adam resumed his speech despite the tightness in his heart as he said that
"And mas also promises, will not interfere with your life again after we officially divorce later. But you can still meet Anin, right" asked Adam to make sure.
"Hmm" muttered Elfira answering Adam's question.
"Thank you for everything you've given me so far. And thank you for your loyalty during our 5 years of marriage. I'm sorry that you can only repay your loyalty with treason."
Adam was silent, unable to feel like he was continuing his words. Adam poured out all his tears. After that, he again wiped his already very wet face.
"Mas go first, thank you for giving the mas a chance to talk. Pray that you will be happy and get a better man than you"
After saying that, Adam actually went from there and left Elfira who had just been silent and said nothing.
"Hiks .. hiks .. hiks ..." broke the cry that had been in her seat. Elfira lowered her head and placed her head on the table. She was crying with her face to the floor.
