Officially Divorced

A few months have passed, Leon and Calina have officially divorced. Both have voted for divorce from the state.

Leon looked once again at the divorce deed he had in his hand. He never thought his life would be like this. Hurt a woman for her pleasure.

"I'm sorry..." Leon said shush. It's unclear whose apologies he's referring to.

He then kept the divorce deed in the closet, then went out to meet Arini who was feeding Jasmine.

"Hey pretty boy, eat a lot, huh? Let's get big fast" Leon said, kissing Jasmine's cheek. "Let me, please" said Leon, taking over Arini's job because Joseph suddenly cried.

Arini immediately gave his duty to Leon, and he held Joseph who suddenly cried. After being examined, it turns out that the baby boy defecated.

"O o o... Apparently a handsome boy poops, huh?" Arini rushed Joseph to the bathroom to clean it up.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Leon was still cool in feeding his little girl. Leon was lucky because Jasmine was the type of child who was easy to eat.

"Smart kid... Eat a lot, huh?" Leon continued to invite his little girl to talk even though the person he spoke to did not know what he meant.

Calina was on the leaves. The issue of divorce itself was immediately stirred in the virtual world. He doesn't know who spread it, he knows it's all been like this. Widely spread.

In the last few weeks he has always been in the hunt for journalists to provide clarification. Because the virtual universe never heard the news that Calina was married, suddenly there was news he was divorced.

He also often get calls for talk shows on some gossip shows, but all that he always refused. Calina doesn't want to be a public conversation. Especially about this kind of disgrace. It's so embarrassing.

Moreover, the digital trace can not be removed, where will be put on his face if Arjuna later grew up and saw the news. What would he say to his son?

"You should quickly clarify, Ca. So that the reporters don't chase you. Don't you get tired of reporter-uber?" Via spoke while driving a car and looked straight ahead. Now Calina no longer has a driver, because Via's sister has graduated from college and now has worked in a private company. Therefore, both Via and Calina took turns driving each other. Sometimes Via and sometimes Calina.

Calina who was sitting next to Via stared at her best friend. "I have to how? Coming to a gossip talk show?" ask Calina pasrah. To be honest he was also very tired of being rumored like this.

Calina herself had never watched a gossip talk show, let alone been told to come. Calina would definitely not be able to.

"That's not the way, Miss Calina. You have social media, what good is it?" Via turned a glance towards Calina then refocused looking forward because he was driving.

Calina seemed to think for a moment. It seems like it is time for clarification. If not, then the gossip will continue without any end. He had to stop the cheap gossip.

"Good idea. Right now I'm going to make a video for YouTube" Calina said as she pulled her phone out of the bag. He opened the camera and started shooting video.

"Now?" ask Via not to believe. His friend is strange, there are only his behavior. That quickly Calina decided something.

"Yes. You shut up first. I want to shoot for a while" Calina said, choosing the right position.

He said that his intention to marry secretly is because he as a new artist is not ready to be highlighted publicly. While the reason she divorced because there is no longer a match between her and her ex-husband.

"Ah... Done." Calina watched once again the video she had just made. The video is ten minutes long.

After everything was confirmed, he immediately uploaded the video. No edit at all. Luckily the camera quality of Calina's phone is not too bad, so the picture and sound are visible and clear.

"I've uploaded it," Calina said as she kept her phone back in the bag.

Via can only shake the head. He no longer knew what to respond to. Calina is just too absurd.

"Beres, right?" calina said while playing music on her car tape. He played a rock song from his favorite metal band.

Via who doesn't like rock music protests instantly. "Replace, Ca! It's noisy! Just change the acoustics" Via said as he continued to focus on driving.

"It's good, Vi."

"Replace!"

"OK okay. It's replaced." Calina then changed from rock music to her dangdut music.

Via no longer protested. He does not like loud music, preferring the adem ayem. He likes acoustic music that does not use many musical instruments.

Although Calina's dangdut is a koplo dangdut whose music is quite loud as well, but he does not protest. He could be fired from the status of manager if he does not like the work of his talent. If the language is harsh, I have to like it.

"The jerk still comes around a lot?" ask Via. He still calls Frans the jerk. Can't call a name yet.

"Lumayan. At least once a week," Calina replied as she leaned her back against the back of the chair.

"Many money, no?" ask Via again. He turned towards Calina as they were currently at a red light.

Calina just laughed. The money? Where ever Frans gave Arjuna money.

"I guess, never. Right, right?" said Via while checking his phone because there was a chat coming in. Chat from his girlfriend.

"Your guess is right. One hundred for you" said Calina, laughing. Whether what is in Frans' head, he often visited Arjuna, but only limited to carrying a toy or a baby snack. Indeed, Frans is not from the category of men. Calina knew that, her profession was only as a politician, nothing else. But time for the child himself does not exist at all.

"Pelit," said Via while returning to save his phone after replying to a message from his girlfriend.

"Indeed," said Calina.

The two looked at and laughed together. Laugh at their funny lives.
