Adriana sighed roughly while watching Mark who was chatting with Maura over the phone. She glanced at her husband, who still objected to being separated from the affair. So, what exactly would the man want if she dropped the divorce request?
"I'll call you later, please give me time," said Mark and then hung up the phone. he returned to his position facing Adriana looked relaxed leaning her back on the shoulder of the chair, staring at her.
"Looks like we have to divorce because I will not be able to be your wife while you are still chasing her," said Adriana to the point.
"Adriana, but I also love you. I can't let you raise our child alone, we can go through all this together like before," Mark said sadly.
"Then, I have to accept it on the combined wife? I'm sure your affair is asking for marriage, right?"
Mark was silent unable to answer. She was in a dilemma because Maura didn't want to be combined, neither did Adriana. The man couldn't choose one of them because he both loved them.
Adriana glanced at Mark who could not answer. finally, she decided to end her husband's confusion by giving her a choice that was right for her and would be fair to her or her husband.
"Mark," said Adriana.
The lowered Mark immediately looked up at Adriana.
"I will come back to you as long as you want to fulfill the requirements that I will give," said Adriana with a flat gaze.
"Tell me the requirements," Mark exclaimed with a flat gaze.
Adriana sighed, glanced at Mark who changed not like pleading with her just because he had received a call from Maura. She felt useless if she returned, surely her husband would cheating again. Moreover, she had heard that her husband was preventing her affair from leaving, making her even more unsure of his love.
"I'll come back to you as long as you leave Maura, promising never to make love with her again. other than that, I also don't want us to stay at home with Mom, because apart from being ambivalent, I also don't feel at home because of Mom's treatment." Adriana deliberately gave tough conditions and was impossible for Mark to accept because she didn't want to come back with him.
"That's impossible, Adriana. I am the leader of the family, I have to stay there," said Mark with a surprising look at Adriana, who for him was too conditional that would only benefit herself, moreover he also could not stay away from Maura.
Adriana smiled thinly and glanced at Mark who immediately could not meet the requirements she gave.
"Well then, I've got the right decision for us. We're going to divorce," said Adriana then got up from the chair.
"Adriana, don't play with the word divorce, I will not divorce you," said Mark, holding Adriana's hand.
Adriana shook Mark's hand and looked at him with pleas. "Please, free me from the snare of this unhappy marriage. let me be free and you are also free, can marry Maura whom you have always loved. "
Mark could only be silent trying to understand Adriana's wish.
Adriana sat back down and looked at Mark who had the power to end the marriage. "I know, your love for Maura is greater than me. You better divorce me and forget everything that ever happened between us. Evan is still your son and you can meet him all you want."
"I beg you to divorce me, just end our disharmonious marriage. this is the best for us so as not to hurt each other. I'm sure, someday Evan will understand our situation, he will be fine even though we are not together anymore."Adriana spoke very much, bursting all that was in her heart. she tries to stay strong, holding back her tears from just falling.
"Are you sure?" asked Mark.
"sure," said Adriana firmly.
"Since this is your wish, I can only comply if it will make up for my mistake and will make you happy. I will divorce you," said Mark confidently, because he had no choice. Hem, it's not that he doesn't have a choice, maybe he wants to try to change wives.
Hearing Mark's decision, Adriana felt like her heart was hit by a thousand needles. but she tried to stay strong, as this was her wish.
"Thank you," said Adriana then immediately got up from the chair. "I must go home now."
"I'll take you," said Mark as he got up from the chair.
"I can go home alone. You better meet Maura before she leaves," said Adriana with all her heart strength. She immediately left Mark, before her tears would spill in front of her husband and would make her look weak.
Mark let out a rough breath, massaged his forehead, his head felt dizzy after making up his mind and watch, hed Adriana leave. He immediately caught up with his wife, intending to take her home.
Zach, who had been hearing, rushed out of the cafe without saying goodbye to Robin who had been waiting for him to be overhearing. He immediately headed for the parking lot and entered his car, driving it before Adriana who had not gone very far.

Adriana was pensive as she walked slowly towards the house. she insisted that he didn't want to be delivered even though she didn't have a penny. And sure enough, her tears just spilled out, lucky she wasn't with Mark anymore ..
'Oh ...God, I hope this decision is the best,' thought Adriana in her sobs as she kept walking. The image of her being Mark's lover, when she was newly married, the intimacy, the harmony at the time of their son's birth, seemed to continue to wander through her mind. She did not expect, all these sweet things will only be a memory. Starting from today, she must rise to order her heart that was broken by her husband's betrayal and falsehood.
"Adriana!"
felt someone calling her from behind, Adriana turned around and saw Mark calling her from inside the car which now stopped beside her. she immediately wiped her tears with her palm.
"Let me take you, from here until the house is quite far, you will be tired if you walk," said Mark who could not deny that he felt sorry when he realized Adriana had been crying.
"No, I'll just walk. later I will take a motorcycle taxi at the base there," replied Adriana and then walked back.
Mark returned to speeding his car slowly following Adriana's steps. But because he was impatient, he stopped and immediately got out of the car to get to his wife.
"Adriana, please don't be stubborn. I know you're sad, I know you object to your own decision. Let me take you!" exclaimed Mark a little annoyed.
"You know? then let me go home alone because from this second I will learn to get used to that I am no longer your wife, you are no longer mine."Adriana walked back, but Mark held her hand.
Zach stopped the car right in front of Adriana and Mark. he immediately came down and approached a husband and wife who he knew was going to divorce.
Adriana glanced at Mark who was still pretentious, then glanced at Zach who might be able to take her home while avoiding Mark. she immediately released Mark's grip on her hand and walked over to Zach.
"Zach, please take me home," Adriana exclaimed then walked towards Zach's car without asking for her consent to take me or not .
