"Sorry Mr. Ardi, why did you answer him, where did Mahendra go?"

"Oh like this, Miss Rianti, yesterday afternoon after returning home to visit the hospital mother, Mr. Mahendra had an accident.Now Mr. Mahendra is treated in the same hospital with the mother treated" Terang Ardi said.

"Innalillahi..I am sorry sir..how is he now?"

"Ah turns out papa is still affectionate with his son, it is evident that papa retracted his report.I should come and thank papa" Andika tidied up her work desk ready to visit her parents' house.

"Hopefully meet Rianti there" Andika whistled happily into her car.

Until his father's house, Rianti was ready to go.

"Assalamualaikum" Andika came in and crucified Ratih and Mr. Arman.

"Pa, thank you for retracting the report.Andika thought papa was no longer dear to his own child" said Andika sat her body beside Ratih's mother.

"Don't thank papa.Thank you to Rianti.He told papa to pull it out."

Andika feels surprise and looks at Rianti with a smile.She knows Rianti will definitely forgive all his mistakes.In Rianti's heart the deepest there is still love for him.

With her pedal Andika approached Rianti and held her hand.But quickly pushed aside by Rianti.

Andik was shocked, but his heart said Rianti might be embarrassed to hold in front of his parents.

"Rianti thank you dear.you have told papa to retract the report.I know you still care the same mas."

Rianti looked lazily at Andika"You don't gr first mas. I did it for Andre, I don't want Andre to have a prison father."

Rianti's standing" Ma,pa...Rianti permission first to visit Mr. Mahendra at the hospital."

Andika was surprised, almost she forgot to ever make Mahendra an accident.

"Mr Mahendra was in an accident? How's he doing?" Ask Andika.

"Yes mas, there is a fractured leg bone and a wound on the head" replied Rianti then crucify his two in-laws and wear a mask so as not to look red scar bruised on his face.

"Interstall the gas? Andika stood up to take the car keys in her pants pocket.

"No need to mas, I've booked the ojek online.It's already waiting in front" Rianti quickly walked out of the house.

Andika came out to look at Rianti riding an online ojek until invisible.

"Hopefully the condition of Mr. Mahendra is severe.At least both of his legs are broken or his face is deformed.Thus his good looks are reduced.So he did not have the courage to approach Rianti" Bathin Andika.

Arriving at the hospital, Mahendra was very happy for the presence of Rianti.Tiba arrived in a good mood.

"Sir Mahendra, I am sorry for the disaster that befell my father" Rianti greeted Mahendra.

"Thank you for visiting me" Mahendra clasped Rianti's hand tightly, as he did not want her to let go.

Mahendra suddenly realized and released Rianti's hand clumsily.

"Said Mr. Ardi, your leg bones are cracked? Rianti sat on the chair beside the bed.

"Yes, maybe two more days of surgery."

"Hopefully the operation is smooth, sir.Wound in the head of the father how?" Rianti touched the bandage wrapped around Mahendra's head.

Mahendra took a deep breath and long inhaled the scent of a handbody that came out of Rianti's hand.Ingin it feels like he grabbed that hand and kissed as much.

"Sir, why? Is anyone sick, let me call the doctor."

Mahendra blinked his eyes in order to dispel his shock." Ah no, I just feel hungry" involuntarily his eyes were fixed on the fruit that Rianti was carrying.

"Want to eat fruit?"

Mahendra just nodded.

Rianti peeled the citrus fruit he brought."Can you eat the fruit yourself?" Rianti thrust the fruit that he had peeled in front of Mahendra.

"Both my hands were a bit sprained because of the accident.So not to move much first."

"Yes, I'm a bribe, sir? Sorry if it's rude."Rianti leaned the piece of fruit Mahendra's mouth.

"Eh no need Rianti, let the nurse do it later" Mahendra pura refused.

Because Mahendra moved his head to avoid being fed Rianti.The orange fruit fell, which had Rianti's finger touching Mahendra's lips.

Mahendra pervaded his feelings, there was a strange rumble he felt as Rianti's tiny and soft fingers stuck to his lips. It did not take long Rianti realized and pulled his hand.This situation is very disliked, especially he is still the status of a wife of people, not worth it.Different with Mahendra, he really likes it.

"Oiya Ri, how did your divorce proceed in court?" Mahendra tried to sterilize their awkwardness, especially seeing Rianti bowed silently.

"There will be mediation sir" Rianti was relieved the situation was back to normal.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't stay here long.I have to go home now, I hope you recover quickly and come back" Rianti stood up.

"Well Rianti, thank you for visiting.Hopefully the mediation process goes your way.Sorry I can not deliver."

"Yes sir thank you.How did Mr. Mahendra want to take me with such circumstances" They both laughed with Rianti's answer.

After Rianti came home, Mahendra was busy normalizing his heartbeat and calming the shakes of his heart full of love for Rianti.

"Ah Rianti.why is it that only you are able to make this heart vibrate.So beautiful is the love that I feel for you Rianti.my love.

Rianti is present at the mediation process accompanied by Sania and her lawyer.

Andika was only accompanied by her legal counsel because the mother and father did not want to accompany her.

In the first trial of the mediation process failed, Rianti insisted to separate.In contrast Andika insisted not to part with the reason still love Rianti.Andika could not do what because Rianti had a lot of evidence about kdrt he did.

"I am sure, the judge will grant the petition for divorce sued bu Rianti.Karna mother has strong evidence" said the lawyer appointed by Mahendra to accompany Rianti.

Rianti, Sania and lawyer Rianti out of the courtroom with a smile.Different to Andika who looked grim.The more difficult it was to take off Rianti.

Andika looked at Rianti's body from behind and suddenly she ran and stood right in front of Rianti and then knelt down to beg Rianti not to divorce.

"Rianti, I beg you to cancel your divorce suit.I still love you very much.Can't feel like living without you.Anything will do so that we don't get divorced.Or if necessary I will divorce Siska right now" Andika grabbed Rianti's hand and kissed her gently.

Rianti felt uncomfortable with Andika's behavior then pulled her hand" It's too late mas."

Rianti walked quickly away from the trial venue.

Sania is also upset to see the behavior of Andika who thinks she is a village and does not know herself.

"Rasain lo! Look away!" Cibir Sania half ran after Rianti.

Andika remained dumbstruck in the crowd who looked at her questioningly.
