Ever felt the calm of being hugged, even though in the end had to be crushed.

"Mrs. Suci, will we start the trial?" asked the presiding judge to Suci because she never brought herself to the defendant's seat to accompany his client who had been sitting there for a long time.
Suci, who felt the call was directed at her, could only blink her eyes.
"Sorry Your Majesty," Suci said as she bowed her head in respect and a thin, thread-thin smile spread across her luscious lips.
Meanwhile, Firman was confused about what to do, the woman he had always seen in his dreams was now in front of him and that was a reality, not a dream like before.
"Suci?!" said Firman. He had to fight as hard as he could to hold back the tears that would now roll down his cheeks. Suci Indah Lestari will always be a weak point for Firmansyah Satria Utama.
Fortunately, the agenda for this session was only the reading of the divorce vows, so that Suci and Firman did not have to be involved in arguments like in previous sessions.
15 minutes passed, and now the trial series has been completely completed. The client they are defending has officially separated legally from the state and also the state.
There is a strange turmoil in Suci at this time, her heart is uncertain. Should he shake hands with the man who has incised a very deep wound in his heart. A man who came sweetly into her life, but the way he left her was truly tragic.
"Hi," said Firman while extending his right hand to shake hands with Suci. Suci is getting more and more confused about what she will do next?
At the crossroads, perhaps that's the most appropriate word to describe how Suci's position is currently.
But in the end Suci decided to repay the helping hand from the man who had taught her what a broken heart really is.
"Hi," Suci replied with the same words as Firman had told her.
"How are you now?" Suci knows it's a small talk said by Firman. But for now Suci prefers to follow the rules of the game that has been set by the man.
"I've been at a point where I don't even know what it's called. The universe should have created another word under the word destroyed, because destroyed isn't enough to describe how I felt at that time, man."
JLEB!
Hearing what Suci said, Firman seemed to feel that the woman's words had indirectly told him how painful it was to be skinned alive.
Looking good physically, mentally killed, judged by expectations, beaten by reality, maybe word for word is the right fit for a Firmansyah Satria Utama at this time.
From his meeting with Suci at this time, Firman knows now that the woman who still reigns in his heart until now is no longer as weak as before. The Universe has done its job very well, now the Saints are much stronger than they used to be.
"Sorry I've been the worst person in your life then, now, and maybe forever," said Firman with regret.
"Unbeknownst to you, we're all bad in other people's stories, man? What's more to forgive?" Facing Suci like this really makes the Word feel at a loss for words very easily.
"There's nothing else we need to talk about, right? If there's nothing I'm leaving now." It was only two steps when Suci was about to leave before Firman, but another call from the man could not help but stop Suci's intention to do so.
"Ci?!"
"Yes?!" Suci's words in a concise and clear manner.
"Bagaskara Law Firm and Partners, right?" asked Firman, looking at Suci with hope.
"There's no need to plan a meeting, let it go as normal as it is now." Firman really can no longer reply to what Suci said. The woman had indeed changed 180 degrees now.
"I once asked you to love me, Ci. But I forgot to ask you forever with me," said Firman while looking at Suci who kept walking away from him.
"You're back, Ci, but with a different taste." Without Firman realizing it, clear water was now flowing very fast from his eyelids.
Suci is now back in her car, it feels like she doesn't have the strength to continue her day.
Unfortunately, Suci doesn't have any power to skip this painful part. The two Suci's eyes indirectly caught the figure of Firman who was also about to leave the Religious Court building.
"Man… we once promised to be together, but not with God." When Firman was no longer within reach of his eyes, Suci then started the engine of his car and headed for the Bagaskara and Partners Law Firm.
She still has one appointment with her client before her days must be completed for now.
It didn't take long now that the iron carriage driven by Suci was parked very neatly in the special parking lot for these law firms.
Suci didn't pay attention to a single smile at this time, and because of that, everyone who smiled at her asked what happened to this beautiful woman? Why is her life being turned upside down this time?
"Hey… what are you doing, Ci?" asked Ghea who indirectly passed the mother of one child.
"I'm okay," said Suci. But of course what Suci said was not easy for Ghea to do. What Ghea could catch at this time was only one thing, namely, Suci's eyes and mouth were not showing their cohesiveness.
"No … we're not really close, but whoever it is can see clearly that you're not okay. I don't know what's going on with you right now, but I only ask you one thing." Ghea paused a little for what she wanted to say, but Suci didn't have the slightest intention of pressing what Ghea wanted to say, as prepared as Ghea.
"God does not create sadness without creating happiness for the next step. Your job is only to raise your hand, the rest let God intervene," said Ghea with a smile that was able to cool the heart of a Suci Indah Lestari.
