chapter 7

More than a month has passed, now Amira and Reyhan are officially divorced where a few minutes ago the judge had knocked the hammer signaling the end of their relationship.

Amira and Reyhan came out of the courtroom dragging their weak bodies, now their status is no longer husband and wife. but a former couple who recently legally divorced.

"Mira!" Reyhan called Amira's name, the woman turned her head in resignation.

"I want to talk to you for a moment." Reyhan glanced at the two bodyguards who were guarding Amira, apart from them and the witness brought by the lawyer, none of the family members brought Amira to trial. Rafa is missing again for a month, while Amira's parents are dead.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Amira pointed to the waiting chair in the back corner. "You can chat there as much as you can," he said.

They walked there and sat on the chair that Amira pointed at, the bodyguards sent by Rafa just watched from a distance without daring to dissuade him because Rafa did not give any message or prohibition on Amira's activities today. As long as no one touches Amira, it's no problem.

"What is it?" Amira asked as soon as they sat in that place.

Reyhan almost grabbed Amira's hand, but he immediately undo it so that it doesn't happen that he doesn't want. Moreover, the bodyguard's sinister eyes kept watching the two of them, Reyhan was already scared. Seeing their big bodies like monsters.

"I want to apologize for all my mistakes, mira. I know no matter how much I say those words will be of no use in your eyes, I know exactly that my mistakes are not to be forgiven, but I'm really sorry. Even though my company didn't go bankrupt mat, but these days it's no use without you in my life, Mira."

The woman smiled painfully at Reyhan's words that sounded sad, then looked at Reyhan with a face that was made as calm as possible. "Your company has recovered, sir. You should be happy, isn't that what you want, bro."

Reyhan again shook his head sadly, his eyes deliberately sparkling as if something was about to spill from those lids. "No Mira! What I did at that time was the effect of dark eyes, I was indeed a coward. I was afraid my company was destroyed and went bankrupt, I finally accepted the crazy offer so that my reputation wouldn't be ruined. I'm sorry Mira, I really don't have a heart at that time."

Again Amira just smiled bitterly hearing that. "Never mind, it's all over. Let's continue our lives with each other, I will become Rafa's slave. And Brother Reyhan can focus on the company that has been your lord all this time."

Amira's words were so stinging and piercing, Reyhan's lips trembled at that. "I'm really sorry! Please don't ever say that," said Reyhan.

Finally the tears fell too, clear liquid fell down the cheeks Until it fell down.

Regret always comes at the end, that's how Reyhan felt when he saw the mooring in his heart as it moved further away from him.

"Please give me a chance to apologize once again, Amira." Reyhan whispered a little scared because the scary bodyguard kept glaring at his movements. "Come back to me if Mr. Rafa doesn't want you anymore." Reyhan asked while clasping his hands in front of his face, Reyhan's words were completely different from the thoughts in his heart.

"I'm not sure I can go through all of this, Brother! Maybe this is my destiny like this," said Amira, a little doubtful.

Reyhan held Amira's hand for a moment, then released the song before the two bodyguards saw it. "Trust me mira! Mr. Rafa is an established and rich man, he will definitely leave you once he gets a new target."

What if he kills me when he's satisfied, brother? You don't know how scary Rafa is.

Amira was just pensive lamenting the assumptions in her heart, especially Reyhan didn't know about his past problems that Amira had hurt Rafa.

"I can't promise brother, but I'll stand one more time for you."

Stupid!

That one word deserves to be said to Amira right now, when her husband destroys her pride and sells her. He even gave one more chance to Reyhan.

Where's your brain, amira?

I don't know, Amira also doesn't know and doesn't want to be like that, Amira should hate and stay away from Reyhan. Not even forgiving him, but Amira was unable to do that. Because his conscience continues to say otherwise.

Again, love is the reason without logic that can make Amira survive for Reyhan, especially Amira will not be able to blame Reyhan or Rafa because of strong urges this can happen because of her past mistakes.

However, Amira also thinks about her daughter, Hazel also needs her. Even though she knew for sure that at this time her daughter already hated her knowing that she was divorced from her ex-husband but even so Amira would definitely explain everything and apologize.

"I really miss Hazel, how is she now or is she okay?" asked Amira.

"Don't worry, Hazel is fine now. She's been acting like she used to and she's not angry anymore. It's best if you don't meet her just yet."

"Why is that?"

"I don't believe in Rafa, even if you meet Hazel. I'm afraid she will get angry again. Let her calm down for a long time, I'm sure one day you will come back to us and I will promise to take good care of Hazel, nothing to worry about ."

"Thanks bro!" Melt Amir.

"No need to thank me, I'm his parent too."

***

Meanwhile at Reyhan's residence, Hazel has just returned from school. Bi Nirmala told him to eat first. "Hi darling!" Hazel was surprised to hear a female voice greet her.

Hazel looked at the woman walking down the stairs in a slightly revealing outfit. "Why is Auntie here?"

"Ohh Daddy you haven't told me yet? If Auntie has become a mother, you continue." Hazel Just heard a glimpse, she was not interested in having a surrogate mother like the woman in front of her.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm very hungry, I was drained of energy serving your Daddy last night who has gone somewhere now? Ah, court I just remembered, did you know that today your Mommy and daddy are officially divorced. I feel sorry for you who had a mother who was willing to leave you to live with a richer man."

Hazel stared disdainfully at the woman she thought was unkind like a kang prostitute. The side dish made for Hazel by Bi Nirma was finally eaten by Linda.

"Why don't you just come with your mommy, anyways, you can live a much better life there. It's not that I want to kick you out of here but I don't like you seeing 18+ scenes, because your daddy doesn't know where the problem is."

"What is my house doing with other people's houses, after all, daddy also wants to go to Singapore," replied Hazel as calmly as possible, she didn't like benching if that person didn't cross the line.

"Ahhh I see."

Hazel didn't answer anymore, she continued to eat quietly with a straight face, Linda's words didn't affect her face one bit. Linda was a little surprised why her child was not affected in the slightest by her words as expected.

To be continued.
