Divorce
AD CHAPTER 48 - White Color
By late afternoon Andre will return to Jakarta. It should have been this morning Andre flew to Jakarta but suddenly Pak Husin sick Andre finally resigned his departure to return to Jakarta.
“Daddy, I'll leave for Jakarta tonight.”
Hearing Andre's words, Husin immediately cried sadly. She felt regret for having been unkind to her daughter-in-law all this time.
“Pardon for father's mistakes so far Andre,” said Pak Husin weakly.
“Sama-sama Father, I am also sorry and I wish you a speedy recovery and can regroup with Shinta and Bastian.”
After saying goodbye to his father-in-law, Andre went to the airport. Shinta who saw Andre's departure couldn't help but cry. He felt sad that he would not see Andre again and he also felt regretful that the divorce that was so feared happened as well. All this because of his own fault.

As soon as Andre left, Husin immediately spoke to Shinta who was beside him.
“Shinta..” call his father.
“Iya, Father,” replied Shinta.
“Shinta, from tomorrow you take care of your marriage with the baby's father.”
“But Dad, Bobby doesn't want to marry Shinta.”
“It was all because of your stupidity. Shinta, you are never grateful to have a husband like Andre. Even you've never heard of your husband cheating still you do too. Your behavior is depraved. You are like a child who has never been educated and you have no shame. Maybe the same other person you're not ashamed of but what about Bastian. Aren't you ashamed of your own son if he knows you're having an affair with another man. You have disappointed dad. Dad doesn't want to know. In this week you have to marry that man and after you get married, you have to leave your father's house because I don't want to see your face again Shinta,” said Mr. Husin in a red tone.
Mr. Husin was very disappointed with Shinta's behavior. During this time Mr. Husin pampered Shinta so much that now he received the consequences. The child who is always spoiled finally troubles himself.
“Im sorry Shinta, Dad. Forgive Shinta. Shinta is very sorry.” Shinta then holds his father's hand but is immediately brushed aside rudely by Mr. Husin.
“Now you are out of this room. You better go home let father be guarded by bi Ijah aja,” pinta pak Husin.
“Dad, Shinta let it be here just waiting for Dad,” said Shinta while welding.
“No, you have to go home right now because I don't want to see your face.”
Hearing his father's words, Shinta grew sadder and more regretful.
Finally disappointed, he returned to his home. While bi Ijah still remains in the hospital waiting for Pak Husin.
***
At home, Shinta was still crying. He never thought that his father would be so angry with him. During this time his father always defended him and all the wishes of Shinta always obeyed his father since Shinta was a child until she married. Even if he saw Shinta crying, his father would be furious. Now it's turned upside down. His father used to look very fond of him, now his father seems to hate him a lot.
In the room Shinta blurted out her tears. His head was about to break thinking about all this. He had just divorced Andre and now his father hated him so much. A myriad of regrets appeared but it was meaningless as it would not return everything.
The divorce that Shinta was so afraid of finally happened as well. The feelings of his father who had let him down would not return to his original form. After tired of crying, Shinta finally fell asleep.

Two years passed.
This morning Miss Tanti looks very happy because today is Niko's wedding day with Ririn. While Niko who was having breakfast at the dinner table did not show her joy. Her face was not as cheerful as her mother.
Finished breakfast Niko was still sitting in her place. He felt lazy to get up from his seat. He was playing with the glass in his hand when breakfast was finished a few minutes ago.
“Have you prepared everything Niko?” ask mom Tanti.
“Today is your wedding day. Are your clothes that will be brought to the house of Ririn have you prepared everything?”
“Already Bu,” answered Niko still relaxed.
“Then where is your suitcase, why not issued directly?”
“Copper?” ask Niko wonder.
“Iya suitcase your shirt. Your clothes will be put in Niko's suitcase,” explained her mother again.
“Niko only bring two-piece clothes aja Bu.”
“Why just two pieces of Niko. Aren't you there a week?”
“Niko only two nights there Mom, then Niko will come home here.”
“Come back with Ririnyou mean right?”
“Yes no Ma'am. Niko home alone.”
“You mean, you came home to this house by yourself?”
“Iya Bu.”
“You're nothing at all Niko. Already married why is your wife not brought here directly?”
“Ngak Ma'am. Niko let's go home alone.”
“So your wife how?”
“Ya later if it's been a month we got married just brought here.”
“You're nothing at all. You come home here to be with your wife. You don't go home alone. I disagree.”
“Terupon Mommy deh,” jawan Niko cuek.
Niko got up from her seat and went into her room. In the room he immediately threw himself on the bed while playing his cell phone. Actually Niko did not want to marry Ririn but because of her mother's very strong desire Niko finally obeyed her mother's will.
Especially after hearing the news that Widya will marry Andre. Two weeks ago, Niko met Siti, Widya's cousin. Siti explains to Niko that Widya will marry Andre.
After Andre divorced Shinta, Andre wanted to marry Widya immediately. But Widya did not want to because she was still thinking about Noval's feelings. Widya fears her marriage to Andre will plague Noval's soul. But it turns out that Noval supports that his mother remarried because Noval knows that her mother does not love her father anymore.
That is the reason Noval wants to support her mother to marry again. Noval also took pity on seeing the fate of his mother who lived alone and struggled to make a living.
“Noval agrees that I married Andre again. But Noval wants if later Mom is married again, I don't work anymore yes,” pinta Noval.
“But mom already used to work Noval.”
“For what Mother works again when married. Therefore, Mother must find a good husband, understanding and can support Mother and Noval. If you are married still working also why you are married,” explained Noval.
That's what Noval said at the time made Widya agree when Andre asked her to get married.
Actually, once Andre divorced Shinta, Andre had asked Widya several times to be his wife. But Widya always rejects him on the grounds that Noval is not ready. As soon as Noval told her mother herself, Widya finally accepted Andre's proposal.
