She's my Ex-husband
34 DMS

Salsa's memory goes back 7 years. His parents came to the US to visit him. Salsa, devastated by a broken heart, told her all.

"I don't want to know Pa. I have to marry El. Everyone will laugh at me if my marriage and El fail. And the woman who succeeded in replacing me was just an ob. Wanna put where my face is Pa." Salsa was crying in her papa's arms.

Mr. Rendra clenched his palms. Which father did not break his heart to hear the roaring cry of the only daughter. She raised Salsa affectionately, giving her whatever she asked for, but the man who had just come into her life, knew knew to hurt her. He hurt her until he shed tears.

Mr. Rendra obviously did not accept. He vowed to retaliate more cruelly anyone who had made his daughter shed tears.

"Do whatever, whatever it is. I have to marry Elgar."

At that moment Salsa's heart was completely broken. All he wanted was to take revenge on those who had hurt him. He won't let Elgar and Mila be happy with his suffering. If you have to suffer, it means the three of them, not him.

Actually, about her papa telling the thugs to kidnap and rape Mila, Salsa doesn't know. He just wanted his dad to act, but he didn't know what he was doing.

Elgar dropped his body weight on the dresser. Finally after seven years of questioning, today he got the answer. So this is the reason Salsa never asked for a divorce even though their household was like a nereka. Salsa just wants to tie her up, making her and Mila suffer from not being able to be together.

"I'm sorry Sa. Yeah, I was wrong at the time, I cheated. It all just happened. At first I had no intention of betraying you. I married Mila just to channel the biological needs because we're ldr. At that time, Mila was also pressed for economic problems. We married without love, only on the basis of mutual need. Mila needs money, and I need a passion distribution. But love that comes cannot be prevented. As time went on, we loved each other."

If someone is to blame, Elgar feels that he is the most wrong. Salsa was a victim, but according to Elgar, her way of replying to Mila was outrageous. And seven years of toxic marriage, is more than enough according to Elgar.

"Am I the second wife?" lirih Salsa as she crumpled the bed sheet and looked at Elgar.

Elgar shook. "I divorced Mila before we got married. And all of that, because of the constant pressure your papa exerts. He pressed my papa Sa. Until my papa dies." Elgar's tears were dripping. He remembered his last letter of his papa. His father was so distressed by the constant threats he received that his health declined and he finally breathed his last.

"After 7 years of punishing me and Mila, are you still not satisfied Sa?"

Salsa as he pleased while gripping the bed sheet. Was he satisfied after taking revenge? Answer's no. Seven years he was also devastated. Trying to take Elgar's heart but failed, until finally running away the hug of another man. Living with a husband who does not love her at all, obviously makes her tormented. You have to smile in public. Showing the crowd if their household is harmonious, it hurts even more.

"Mila never intended to take me away from you. From the beginning, we had agreed to marry for only a few months and get divorced when you returned to Indonesia. But back again, we can't lie, if we love each other and don't want to be apart."

"Let's end it all Sa. The purpose of our lives is to be happy, not to pretend to be happy, but to actually suffer. You can be happy with Ben, and I'm with Mila. Isn't that a very beautiful ending for the four of us?"

Salsa was unmoved, it felt like she was still not willing to lose to Mila. He could not see the two people happy.

"What is the woman's advantage over me El? You can forget me just for being with her for a few months, but you can't forget her even seven years with me."

Elgar breathed. Why Salsa asked if the answer would hurt her.

"Love is the business of the heart. We can't choose who we fall in love with. Not everyone can make us fall in love. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, but not to compare."

Salsa lifted her face, looking at Elgar who was standing before her.

"What if I don't want a divorce?"

"I'll keep divorcing you."

Salsa wiped her tears and smiled bitterly. Could this be the end of it all. And he's still the same as he was seven years ago, losing. Married to Elgar did not make him a winner, because in fact, only Elgar's body he got, but his heart, remained for Mila.

"I'm sorry Sa. But it all has to end. This second, too, I drop my talaq on you."

Salsa looked down with tears in her eyes. It hurt a lot, not because he still loved Elgar, but because he had won Elgar's heart.

"I've filed for divorce. Soon, you'll get a subpoena. I ask, cooperate, don't make things difficult. Company business, I leave it all to you. Please decide, continue SE Corp or break it into two parts."

Elgar felt relieved after saying the word talak. But this is still early, they still have to go through a divorce process that may take a long time. But whatever it is, it feels like the heavy burden that is on the shoulders suddenly falls.

Elgar took his personal belongings from the room. He could not have arrived to tell Salsa to leave the house before the divorce verdict went down. So better, he's the one who's been out of the house for a while.
