Mr. Leon's Second Wife
85

Time goes on, though,

The sun started to rise and emit its rays. A beautiful, puffy-faced woman with an oversize ash sweater and light blue jeans appeared to be sitting in front of her spacious room glass mirror.

The woman looks gloomy. Today at ten in the morning he will soon leave the country with his father and mother. But before his father would invite him and his mother to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of his grandmother and grandfather.

Aleta looked at the suitcase that was ready beside the bed. The woman took a deep breath, she then got up and walked towards the window of her room which was directly connected to the balcony.

Seen there, the man was still faithfully waiting in front of the iron gate of his residence. The adult man looks very messed up. No more expensive and authoritative impression on Leon. He looks very shabby with a scuffed shirt that has some buttons open and some blood spots that appear to dirty the white shirt.

His eyes looked straight ahead. There were murats of sadness and regret that the man might have felt. How much he regretted what he had done to Aleta. Wasting the woman until now Aleta is threatened regardless of the grip of her hand.

Aleta silently stared at the man below. Somehow what Aleta was feeling right now, she didn't know.

Chequek.....

the door to the room is open.....

The general went into his beloved daughter's room....

"son.." said Mario make Aleta look.

"pa.." said Aleta with a smile.

Mario approaches the princess, stands beside Aleta and gazes down where Leon is sitting on the ground waiting for Aleta to come out and meet him.

"he didn't come home all night." said Mario.

Aleta.

Mario looked towards Aleta.

"do you still love her?" ask Mario.

Aleta shed her tears again, then shook her head slowly.

"sad.... do you mind going abroad today?" ask Mario.

Aleta shook her head.

"i know papa would want the best for me. I just obey pa.." said Aleta.

"but it seems like you're hard to leave this town, do you still love that guy after what he did to you, son?" ask Mario again.

Aleta was silent for a moment....

"pa..... Aleta has already said right.. this is all just a misunderstanding ..there is slander between me and Leon.." said Aleta .

"i know that you love me. I also decided to follow your advice to leave this city, I will calm down there"

"but I beg you the same papa..do not do anything for him pa....he is too sick to live with people who are full of falsehoods around him.."

"doesn't he also need to be reciprocated for his outrageous attitude towards you, son?" ask Mario.

"let God avenge you. I don't want my papa diabusin people.I'm okay, I can boast of myself because I'm not a bastard." Aleta said.

"you are not a bastard child, son.kamu papa child...kamu papa biological child..kamu born from a marriage that is valid religiously and state.." said Mario.

Aleta nodded.

"pa.." said Aleta again.

"yes dear .." answered Mario.

"i can't.nemuin Leon for a while before we go.." said Aleta.

"for what...?" ask Mario.

"there's something I want to say to him.

"papa's coming.." replied Mario.

"w....."

"papa just want to make sure you are safe.papa want to come along." said Mario again firmly.

Aleta.

"but promise don't get angry.." said Aleta.

Mario smiled, then nodded.

Aleta returned that smile. The father and son walked together towards the gate of their house to meet Leon who had been there since.

....

The man got up. His face seemed excited when he saw the beautiful woman was now willing to come out of her palace and meet her.

"open the gate." said Mario ordered a housekeeper there.

The man in the black uniform nodded. He immediately opened the towering iron gate.

Leon excitedly approached Aleta.

"honey .." said Leon while moving his hand intending to hug the woman but Aleta reflexes rewind her body when she saw Leon's hands raised.

As if there is a trauma that imprints in the woman. Recalling that hand had already repeatedly lashed out punch after punch against him.

Leon stopped his movement. Aleta retreated closer to her father and Mario swiftly hugged Aleta's shoulder.

"don't touch my daughter!" said Mario coldly.

Leon who had been tattered camping just stared softly at Aleta.

"Aleta...we go home dear....we can talk well at home right? come home with me, baby." said Leon.

Aleta took a deep breath. In his heart he said istighfar, trying to calm his heart and feelings to talk to the man's husband sir's adult.

Aleta turned to Leon with a smile, slightly distancing herself from her father's arms.

"sir.." said Aleta calmly.

"Aleta, I don't like being called master." said Leon.

"i'm sorry, if I've been bothering you so much all this time" Aleta said.

"sorry, because I can't be a good wife to you...."

"Aleta..enough...!" leon asked Aleta to stop talking

"sir... jalaang child has found his biological father. Leon shook his head.

"i beg for permission.I want to go, I want to go with my father...."

"no...! this is not how...! we can still fix everything, Aleta....!" leon began to calm down.

"i know .. but I'm tired.I also need peace...."

"i love you Aleta...! I already know everything...! I will teach my men a lesson...! but come home Aleta, we'll rebuild our household from the beginning...! I promise I won't make the same mistakes again as I did you...!" said Leon.

Aleta....

"you love me?" ask Aleta.

"yes.I love you dear." said Leon sure.

"do you want to make me happy...?" ask Aleta.

"of course ...we go home yes..home with me dear.." said Leon while trying to reach Aleta's hand but the woman refused.

Leon's speechless.

"Aleta.." he said softly.

"my throat....."

.

.

.

.

duuuuuaaaaaarrr.....!!

Tub struck by lightning in broad daylight. Leon was surprised by his second wife's words. The man took a step back while shaking his head faintly. Lemas, he did not believe what Aleta said just now.

"no..don't joke Aleta...."

"i'm not kidding...! i seriously...!" aleta said in tears.

"THIS IS NOT THE WAY...!! DON'T YOU SEE MY STRUGGLE...! I GOT HERE LIKE THIS ALL FOR YOU...! SO I CAN TAKE YOU HOME AND WE START ALL OVER...!! WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR A DIVORCE FROM ME NOW...?!!" leon asked wrathfully with his neck muscles clearly imprinted.

"i don't want to pile up sins...! I don't want to go but still tied to marriage with you...!! I want to settle all the affairs between us right now...! please sir... let me go...!!" said Aleta.

Leon shook his head.

"you're crazy Aleta...! you're evil...!" leon said he did not think.

"what because of him? he asked you to part with me...? yes...?! right?!!" leon asked while pointing at Mario.

"don't...!! this is all my will...! I've been thinking about this matured...! I know I left without saying goodbye to you when it became a sin, now I ask for help, I apologize, please release me.." Aleta said in tears.

"this is not how...! we started all from the beginning baby.I can make you happy...! I will love you...!!" said Leon.

"but the people around you hate me...!! marriage is not just about one or two people...! marriage is about one family...! quite a father and my mother who were separated because of the blessing they did not get from the parents just yet....! I don't want it to happen to me anymore....! i'm scared....!! it's enough slander and mockery that I received from you guys." said Aleta.

"i'll finish it all...!" leon said, Gebu.

Sarah and Sean who watched the scene from the terrace just kept quiet. Sarah even seems to be condensing. Is what he and Mario experienced also become a fear for Aleta?

Alisa is crying again.

"old... I'm tired.." said Aleta lirih. Really, he wanted to end this household drama immediately. He's tired...! she wanted to go quietly without any frills to leave her husband.

Is it selfish??

.

.

"i can guarantee your happiness after this Aleta...! I'll take care of everything...! I will guarantee you will not cry again after this...! they won't be able to bully you...!!" said Leon.

Aleta shook her head.

Leon's approaching. Aleta retreat.

"what do I have to do to make you forgive me...?" ask Leon.

Aleta looked down at Leon.

"talak me if you love me. Let me go. If God predestine us together, then one day God will definitely bring us together again.." said Aleta.

Leon shook his head again. He still wants to divorce Aleta.

"do I have to prostrate to ask for talaq from you sir?" ask Aleta.

Leon still shook his head with watery red eyes.

Aleta is crying like that .

Then.....

buuuugggh.......

The woman dropped her body in front of Leon. Mario was shocked, so was Leon and everyone else there.

Aleta knelt before Leon while crying. Leon vibrates. He seemed unable to look at the woman who looked like a flood of tears. So you don't want Aleta back with Leon? until he knelt before the man just for the sake of a word talaq??

"sir.." said Aleta.

"is that so unforgivable for you Aleta? until you're willing to prostrate at my feet to get divorced from me?" ask Leon.

"we need peace with each other sir. let us introspect each other.. I am tired... solve your problems with the people closest to you first.Let me go and calm down, if God wants us together, one day we will definitely meet again.." said Aleta.

Leon shook his head.

"you're evil Aleta...! you're evil...!" leon said it was painful.

"please sir.please.." said Aleta.

Leon took a deep breath.

"nice ..if that's what you want...! I'll grant it...! go... After this you are free...! you're free to do anything, don't mind me being alone here...! you're free...!" said Leon shaking withstanding the tightness.

Leon backwards. Aleta looked down with flood eyes.

"i dropped the talaq on you...! from today on..you are not my wife anymore.....!!!"

.

.

.

.

deeeeggghhh......!!

it's ruined...!

Sick....!

not just for Aleta but for Leon as well...!

With a careless step and a heart that certainly more chaotic the man walked away leaving the woman who is still on the ground.

Aleta cried as it happened. He asked for talak, he also cried over the talak.

Mario squealing. Sarah came closer. The pair of parents approached the princess who was crying. A difficult choice that was eventually taken by the general's daughter.

He decided to end his relationship with Leon. Releasing the predicate of the second wife who had been held so far.

Either this is right or wrong. But for Aleta he did not want to continue in the shadows by the name of Leon.

He gave all his love to God. The most important thing for him now is to leave. Stay away from Leon and release any appendages attached to him about the man.

If one day they meet again and are united by the Almighty, then may they meet in a better state. Whether it was from his status, mental or heart.

Weight indeed, not only for Leon but also for Aleta.

But for the woman, this would be much better, than continuing the relationship over the hatred of many.

Let Leon solve his problems with his mother, wife and men. As for Aleta, let her calm herself down first, try to come to terms with reality and enjoy her happy times with a full family.

After that, let the hand of God work.
