Expecting to be treated like a Princess, but ended up being a fighter... She was still twenty-four years old and decided to get married, after graduating both of her parents introduced Irina to a man her age but already had a medical degree and worked in a private hospital. A job that promised a decent and happy life. Without a long process, Irina accepted the matchmaking. Moreover, she saw that Denis was a good man and also very friendly and sociable, while Irina who had just graduated was still trying to find a job to start her career. But after the wedding, Denis suggested not to work, just take care of all household matters at home. Because Denis already had his own house, with all the household facilities and adequate vehicles. Honestly at that time Irina was a little disappointed, because that meant her school was useless at all. She was a smart student since she was little, got a scholarship and graduated with good grades. And it was all in vain after the wedding. Irina looked at her wedding photo with Denis which was neatly displayed in the living room, her marriage had been going on for two years but Irina didn't feel anything. Her mother once said that love would grow by itself over time, because her parents were also arranged to be married. But why didn't Irina feel that way? Denis was a doctor, Irina understood. Always busy, especially working in a hospital that always had many patients. But, did the man have to be that indifferent to his own wife? Denis never invited her to dinner outside, a romantic dinner and preferred to watch football broadcasts on television on holidays. In fact, Denis never gave her a surprise or a gift on his own birthday, or their wedding anniversary. It was as if Irina wasn't in this house. The two of them also rarely contacted each other, sometimes Irina had time to think. Was she not that attractive in Denis's eyes? The sound of a car stopped in the yard, exactly at nine at night Denis came home from work wearing his doctor's uniform. It was obvious from the man's face that he was tired, Irina glanced at his ring finger. There was a beautiful circular diamond ring there, reminding her that she was married and still had to obey her husband. Irina tried to smile and greet Denis who had just come home from work, but the man's response was only to ask for dinner to be prepared after he took a shower. Irina was silent, as Denis just passed her by. It was their wedding anniversary, but Denis seemed indifferent and was just working hard for a promotion. "Do you remember what day it is today?" Irina asked when they were already at the dining table eating dinner, Irina even waited past dinner time just to eat with Denis and talk about this. "Monday." He answered briefly, Irina took a breath and exhaled slowly. Still trying to be patient even though both of her hands were clenched tightly. "It's our wedding anniversary!" Irina reminded him. "Oh, really? I forgot." He replied, and it was always like that. Two years of marriage should have made them both still romantic, but in fact, after getting married Irina did not get any appreciation from her own husband. Just complimenting, or even looking at Irina, Denis never did. Like last year, important moments in their marriage just passed without anything special. Here Irina thought, why was it always her who tried to maintain this cold household? While Denis was just a money-making machine for Irina. Days like that.. Denis said Irina should find an activity so that she wouldn't get bored of being at home all day, but the man didn't allow Irina to find a job. What kind of activity? Irina thought. Irina decided to go shopping at the supermarket, as usual, alone, without Denis accompanying her. Until she arrived at the cashier, Irina saw flyers posted everywhere, even in the parking area and the surrounding trees. There was an association led by a Psychologist to help solve any problem, a face-to-face discussion forum for both the lower and upper classes. Honestly, Irina was interested, the location was not far from her house. Irina ignored the flyer and preferred to throw it in the trash, but when she passed the location in question, because it happened that the direction of her house passed by the location. Irina saw many vehicles parked there, a building that had not been used for a long time. It looked like it had been repaired and reused. The building that was originally light brown, had now changed to jet black with the doors and windows painted white. Irina was confused, she even stopped on the side of the road just to think. If she kept going home, Irina might have gone through boring days like usual. But, she would never get a chance like this again. Until finally, Irina turned her vehicle into the parking lot of the building. There were many people who started to enter the building and Irina slowly followed them, although a little hesitant. There was a registration counter that turned out to be free of charge, Irina wondered to herself. Why would someone as knowledgeable as a psychologist waste her time with a free meeting like this and help many people solve their problems? Irina, who was basically an intelligent woman, thought this was unreasonable, but for some reason she continued her steps until she entered the hall of the building. After completing the registration by filling in her personal data, Irina entered the building where there were many people inside. Maybe hundreds, maybe because this was the first meeting in this city, Irina thought. But there was something strange, there were some people who did not fill out the registration form and immediately took a seat inside there. The faces of the people who did not register earlier did not seem like the general people who were confused looking for a place to sit and wondering what to do in a building with this many people, they were just silent, calm and sitting. And as if waiting for the arrival of someone who might be the psychologist, Irina thought again. Not long after she and the others waited, then an old man with white hair came. Going up to the stage which was equipped with a microphone to make her voice clearer, Irina was quite enthusiastic to hear what would be conveyed in this place and how they would discuss it. Although it seemed like there would be no discussion with this many people. But suddenly Irina's cellphone vibrated, there was an incoming message that Irina very rarely received. Because honestly since she got married, Irina had no friends at all to just exchange messages with. Especially Denis who had never contacted her cellphone at all. Ting! "Honey, my wife is not at home. She is out shopping, come home quickly! I'm waiting!" Irina was still trying to digest the contents of the short message, hoping that it was a short message from someone else that was sent by mistake. But clearly on her cellphone the name Denis was listed and it was indeed his cellphone number. Irina didn't know what was happening right now, as if she didn't believe it, Irina intended to go home and leave this place. Irina stood up from her seat and passed many people because the chairs were neatly lined up while Irina took a seat near the wall. Everyone looked at Irina who was standing, it was an awkward and embarrassing moment for Irina. But she had no other choice but to go home right now because she wanted to prove the short message she just received was wrong, Irina immediately drove her car after leaving the building, without her knowing what material she wanted to convey today. Along the way home Irina's chest was pounding, no matter how fast she drove her car. Until she arrived home, sure enough she found Denis' vehicle and another vehicle that Irina didn't know who it belonged to. Irina immediately got out of the car about to enter the house, her heartbeat got faster when she saw heels lying in the living room complete with a woman's bag. Tears slowly came out wetting both of her cheeks but without sobbing, Irina walked slowly towards the second floor where her room was with Denis. And sure enough, from the front door of the room, Irina could clearly hear the sound of a woman's moans from inside. Irina opened her own room door which turned out to be unlocked, finding Denis and a woman with shocked expressions making out on Denis's desk half-naked. Denis and the woman hurriedly put on their clothes after being caught by Irina, Irina still tried to stay quiet and stay calm waiting for the two of them to get dressed again. After finishing getting dressed, the woman who Irina didn't know at all passed by Irina while glancing at Irina with a cynical look. Irina who didn't care just ignored the woman and let her go, while Denis owed Irina an explanation for what had happened today. Luckily Irina didn't have to wait long for the material from the Psychologist, and luckily Denis sent a message that might actually be addressed to the woman. Until finally, Irina found out why Denis had always ignored Irina all this time. "Then why did you marry me?" Irina asked in a relaxed tone, still trying to be as calm as possible. Now they were both in the living room, just the two of them, talking face to face after two years together, there was no serious conversation like this. "My mother set me up with you, I don't want to disappoint my mother!" He answered, but Denis's tone was stifled and sounded awkward. Irina actually didn't care whether it was true or not, but in reality Denis didn't deny that he was cheating on her. "Then I want a divorce!" Irina said firmly, Denis stared at Irina for a moment then nodded in agreement. And it sounded strange to Irina, she said the man didn't want to disappoint his mother, but he agreed to the divorce. "Okay, I'll take care of everything. Let me bear everything because this is my fault." Denis said, sweat began to come out of Denis' forehead and temples. It was an unusual thing to happen to a doctor like Denis, but Irina didn't want to pay attention to something like that anymore. Because she felt like she had been lied to now. Long story short, the final trial day happened, the sound of the hammer banging indicated that she and Denis were officially divorced, attended directly by Irina's parents and Denis' parents. Irina's mother cried after the divorce decision, but not Irina who considered it a freedom for her. Irina could find a job and restart her career that had been delayed before, Denis gave the house they had lived together for two years along with its contents, and also the car that Irina used every day, as an apology to Irina. Actually Irina didn't need all of those things, but right now she didn't want to go back to her parents' house which was far from this city. Because Irina still wanted to attend the discussion forum in this city. Irina's parents tried to comfort the woman by staying at her house for a few days, Irina had said that she was fine and fine after this divorce. But her parents still wanted to be with Irina because they were worried about their child's condition, even though this was Irina's free time to attend the discussion forum in the building. So Irina gave up her intention to go to the building again and could only stay at home. "I want to work, Mom, Dad!" Irina said when the three of them had dinner together. "I want to have my own life and decide whatever I want to do!" He added, understanding Irina's condition who had just divorced, which proved that her failed marriage was one of her parents' mistakes and both of her parents admitted it. "Okay, work if you want! Start your career well! You deserve it after this incident." Her father replied. Her father had always supported Irina since she was little, because Irina was a smart and accomplished child. But for some reason two years ago her father suddenly proposed a match that ended in divorce like this. In the days after the divorce, Irina actually didn't think much about it. But when she always passed the building that was always crowded every day, it made Irina want to go to that place immediately. But she still waited until her parents came home while Irina looked for a job in the city. "Why don't you just go home? You can rent this house and you can look for a job there." Her mother said trying to persuade Irina, for some reason there was an uneasy feeling in Irina's mother when she had to leave Irina alone in this city. "I don't know, Mom. I think I like living in this city." Irina replied, who seemed very enthusiastic about the discussion forum. ***
