Istikharah
Divorced


After being persuaded by Arini, Calina finally agreed to meet Leon. And now here they are, Calina's apartment.


"I'd like to apologize first" Calina said softly. "The last few days I've been running away from you a lot" he continued. He felt bad for himself and realized his mistake. At any rate while this status is still the legitimate wife of Leon.


Leon was still silent, he was waiting for Calina to finish her words.


"This relationship if we keep it going will only make us hurt." Calina spoke again because Leon was still silent. "We can't continue this relationship anymore, Leon." Calina spoke very softly, but was still clearly heard by Leon.


"Maybe more precisely, you're the one who got hurt, not me. I'm okay with this situation. I can already accept the fact that Juna is not my flesh and blood, but I still think of him as my son. I don't have a problem with that." Leon spoke while staring blankly at the front. He sat on a single sofa, while Calina sat next to him, on a long sofa.


"Yes, maybe you're right. I'm the one who got hurt. Not you" said Calina cynically. Leon could be acting pretty strong like this. This is not the Leon that Calina has known all along. What exactly is this Leon mask wearing?


"So, you still intend to split up?" ask Leon. He wanted to make sure if Calina was joking or serious right now. "Don't want to keep this relationship anymore?" Leon looked at Calina who happened to be staring intently at Leon.


"Yes. Sure oes. For our common good" said Calina confidently. "Now divorce me!" calina Pinta. His voice sounded loud and sure. He was completely in line with his decision.


"I can't" Leon replied. For Leon, he would maintain this household in any way. Hopefully Calina can change her mind if Leon softens a little.


"Well, if you don't want to divorce me, just wait for the love letter from the court." Calina still wants a divorce. He no longer wants to live with Leon in a state of pretence. He really doesn't love Leon.


Initially Calina and Leon did marry Siri, but a few months later the two were legally married in the eyes of the state. As good citizens, they want their marriage to be recorded by the state, so that the country's data becomes valid. It's not funny if Calina's identity in KTP is still single but in reality she is someone's wife.


Leon was worried. It seems that the relationship between him and Calina is already unsaved. Calina is an adult. Leon believes that the decision made by Calina is a decision that has been considered carefully. Not an impromptu decision made out of momentary emotion. Therefore, he would grant Calina's wish. So that everything is finished soon and they can live quietly and happily.


It seems that Calina really does not love Leon. If it continues to be forced, fear will make Calina become depressed and depressed.


"Caca Calina bint Bagus Harimukti, I divorce you with talak one." Leon spoke in a slightly quivering voice as his mood was not good. On one hand he was sad, on the other he was relieved. Sad that her marriage to Calina is over. Also relieved, because in the end he had made Calina free. Free to live with the man he loves.


Calina immediately went silent. This is what he wanted. But once he got it he was confused not knowing what to say.


"Now that we are no longer husband and wife, I will help prepare the files for procurement. I'll go home first." Leon rushed out of Calina's apartment.


After Leon died, Calina slapped her cheek in disbelief. It turned out that it was as easy as Leon doing something.


In the past when he married Calina, Leon also did not take a long decision. And now while divorcing Calina, Leon has not made a decision in a long time either. It was a miracle her ex-husband.

"I've divorced Calina" Leon said by phone. He was talking to Arini. She is still in the office and can't wait to tell Arini what happened two hours ago.


"What's? You're kidding, right?" Arini did not believe it at all. Why would Leon be able to take such a rash action?


"All right."


"Today I'm home fast. Four o'clock," Leon said as he stared at his computer screen that displayed a picture of the clouds.


"Yes." Yeah."


The phone was disconnected too. Leon sat down while leaning his back on the back of the chair. As of today, he only has one wife. Arini's.


And from today too, he promised he would no longer do reckless things like before. He no longer wants to add a wife. One wife is more than enough.


Leon finished the work today with great enthusiasm. So that his work is quickly completed and he can go home calmly without being burdened with work.

"I'm divorced from Leon" Calina said. Today he has a gig schedule at an event.


"Smoke!" sahut Via does not believe. "When did he knock his hammer?"


"Indeed, haven't knocked the hammer. But you're divorced religiously, "tell Calina lightly.


Just contact Via immediately stopped his steps. He told Calina to stop too. "This serious?" ask Via not to believe. "What do you plan on going forward? Married to that jerk?"


Calina smiled cynically. "Married to the jerk? That's never gonna happen!"


"So much as he hates the jerk," said Via with a laugh.


The two then walked back to the venue. They are now in the parking lot. The show is in a five-star luxury hotel.


"What are your plans going forward?" ask Via while walking. Some pairs of eyes looked towards them. Although Calina uses a mask, but still the characteristics of body shape and hair can be easily recognized by people. But lucky they just look at it, not to bother. Disturbing in the sense of like fanatical fans who suddenly hug or so on.


"The way forward is for the future" Calina replied as she pressed the elevator button.


Incidentally in the elevator there were only the two of them. So that they can resume the conversation without fear of being heard by others.


"What's it like to be a widow?"


"Eitherway. It is fun and also sad. Widows' status is often underestimated, isn't it?" Calina smiled wryly.
