MY WIFE'S TEARS MY KARMA
CHAPTER 48

The scorching morning made everyone who was still on the road rushed to swing their footsteps faster to get to the destination immediately.

Ardan, who was standing in front of the glass window of Martin's workspace staring at all the busyness of the highway, began to smile cynically as soon as he saw Martin's car entering the courtyard of the Century building.

After handing over some files to her secretary, Martin steps straight into her study while Gabrielle walks into the pantry to make drinks for Martin and his guests.

As soon as he entered, Martin could see someone standing behind him looking out the glass window displaying the bustle of the capital this morning.

Realizing that something was coming, the sturdy body slowly twisted and Ardan's two eyes immediately met Martin's sharp eagle eyes.

For a moment they fell silent and looked at each other fiercely. Ardan and Martin were looking at it, but Gabrielle who had just entered the room panicked.

Gabrielle cleared her throat a little to melt the tension while telling Martin about his schedule today.

“ You only have thirty-five minutes to talk to Mr. Ardan before going to court...”, said Gabrielle read the next Martin schedule.

“ Just relax...”.

“ I only need five minutes to talk to you..”, said Ardan Sharp.

“ Well, please sit...”, Martinpun invite Ardan to sit in the guest chair in his room.

“ I will not beat – tele and directly on the intent and destination I came here...”.

“ Revoke the divorce suit that my wife entered into religious justice right now...”, said Ardan firmly.

Hearing Ardan's words, Martin only smiled faintly in response to the shameless man's arrogance.

“ With a heavy heart I can not grant the father's throne because the right to order me to withdraw the lawsuit is only the mistress Azkia Hafsah..”, said Martin no less assertive with Ardan.

Ardan was seen gritting his teeth disliking the words Martin gave him as if the lawyer was mocking him inwardly.

“ You can fill it with the numbers you want...”, said Ardan while presenting a blank check he had signed.

Seeing that Ardan had started to react, Martin who had memorized the behavior of conglomerates like Ardan just smiled cynically.

“ Sorry if you are offended by my remark..”.

“ I just helped madam Azkia get justice...”.

“ You should be grateful because lady Azkia just demanded a divorce without asking you anything..”.

“ Mrs Azkia does not even sue you for all the acts of violence you committed during the household with her.….”, said Martin while handing back the blank check in front of Ardan with great emphasis.

Ardan who had expected that Martin would do this was still a little surprised because the man still upholds his profession of bribery and fraud that often occurs in court.

“ Domestic violence...”.

“ Do you have the proof...”, said Ardan disparagingly.

“ Of course...”.

“ I will not speak without evidence and facts.”.

“ Maybe you need to know if I am different from lawyers who usually often speak based on mere assumptions without accompanied by facts..”, Martin said subtly.

“ Then, what proof do you have..”, asked Ardan with a probing gaze.

“ Everything you can see at the trial later..”, said Martin relaxed while lifting one leg crossed with the other and smiling thinly.

Seeing Ardan was already emotional about the words he said, for the sake of courtesy there Martin also offered drinks for his guests.

During this time Ardan often hires a lawyer who can pass anything according to his identity even though he has to give bribes to some people to give false testimony as long as it is profitable for him in addition to justify all means.

Ardan who is usually calm in the face of his opponents this time his emotions are so easily provoked just by the word – short words full of meaning from Martin.

Seeing if Martin does not seem to be fulfilling his throne, Ardan resigned and will think of other ways that the divorce will not happen.

Martin who saw Ardan leave in anger was very satisfied. He felt that Ardan deserved to accept all the consequences of his actions.

Although Azkia did not demand anything materially, Martin still tried to persuade Azkia to sue her husband into a criminal offense because the sexual violence he committed was no longer humane.

As soon as he arrived at the office, the lawyer Robby called had already arrived. He also began to study the files offered by his client before the two fought in court.

“ In the beginning there will be a mediation session to be attended by both parties..”.

“ There we can try to discuss everything so that your wife is willing to withdraw her lawsuit and refer back to you..”, said Robert explained.

Hearing that Ardan felt a glimmer of hope, even if it was only a little but at least he could try it rather than nothing.

“ Before the subpoena from the religious court comes you should try to be kind to your wife.”.

“ Because the progress of your relationship with your wife will certainly be quite influential in the mediation process later...”, said Robert added.

Not without reason Robert gave such advice to Ardan because he himself felt that the divorce process was very difficult to win by Ardan given the many evidences both in digital and physical form Azkia through visa.

Plus the affair committed by Ardan in their residence makes it more difficult for his clients to win.

After hearing a short story from Robby, Robert immediately conducted an independent investigation of the case he received.

At first he was very surprised because he did not expect that an Ardan Bimantara would do such a cruel thing to his wife considering how good the image of the man was in the public eye.

Digital evidence may still be debunked but the physical evidence of Azkia is irrefutable.

Even Ardan's relationship with his affair that had gone viral in cyberspace will also be a factor that incriminates him during the trial process.

Moreover, there are no children between the two and the wife who only demanded divorce without asking for property gono – gini and other things make the possibility of the judge to grant a divorce lawsuit filed by Azkia very high.

After explaining Robert also resigned resignation because this afternoon he has a court schedule to handle the case of his other clients.

“ What percentage of its success...”, asked Robby curiously.

“ Only ten percent...”, said Robert pessimist.

Robby had thought that the hope of his best friend and boss to return to his wife is very small considering all kinds of bad deeds and words Ardan against the wife that is very difficult to forgive.

“ As small as it is the opportunity...”, said Ardan who arrived – arrived already beside Robby in a weak voice.

“ I think, the only – way is to sincerely apologize to your wife for all the bad treatment you gave so far..”.

“ From now on, be gentle to Azkia...”.

“ As hard as – the hardness of the stone if it continues to be hit by waves it will collapse as well..”.

“ So also with human heart...”.

“ If you sincerely apologize and promise to change I am sure sooner or later Azkia will definitely forgive you...”, Robby advised.

Ardan confirmed Robby's remarks, but he had a hard time getting a chance to show Azkia the change.

Moreover, last met, he again abused his wife and forced her to have sex despite knowing that Azkia might still be traumatized by the sexual violence that had beenfalling her.
