That night, a husband and wife couple, Mr. Budi and Mrs. Heni, were seen having an argument. Mrs. Heni's hysterical screams coupled with an angry shout from Mr. Budi's tone of voice made several neighbors, some of them just watching from inside the house, some who didn't care, and some of them went out of the house to break up the big fight between the husband and wife.
"You don't know yourself, you don't know shame, you are a traitor. You broke the promise and commitment of our marriage, you traitor" shouted Mr. Budi with anger while pointing at his wife's face.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake," said Mrs. Heni, crying hysterically.
"What did I do wrong that you did such a despicable act like this. What was my fault and sin to you?" asked Mr. Budi in a sad tone of voice.
In the great fight, Pak Budy almost wanted to resort to violence by taking a machete to slash his wife who was having an affair with another man, fortunately Mr. Soni as a public figure was good at breaking up.
Finally, the culmination of the quarrel between husband and wife who had been in the household for more than three years had to get a divorce. Mr. Budi was hurt and very disappointed and embarrassed by his wife's actions, so Mr. Budi emotionally chose to divorce his wife.
The story of love and affection that they had from the first time they met, since their fiancée, until the wedding is now only a bitter memory, becoming a shadow in the mind that hurts and creates mental wounds that take quite a long time to heal.
What is even more sad is Hasni, their first child. He had to feel the bitter experience since he was a toddler.
"It's a shame, even though they are a perfect match, I think. Both are educated, both beautiful. But, no one knows the fate of humans. "said Mr. Darus while hanging out at the coffee shop
"What caused them to fight until they finally divorced?" Ziraf asked curiously
"People say it's because his wife is cheating on him," answered Mrs. Tina, the owner of the coffee shop
"Cheating how's the story?" ask Ziraf again
"As a result, I vent a lot on social media. I also don't know how to do it in more detail. What I do know is that the point is cheating with acquaintances on social media," replied Mrs. Tina.
"Cheating how's the story?" ask Ziraf again
"As a result, there is a lot of venting on social media. I don't know, I also don't know in more detail how. What I do know is that the wife is cheating on her with acquaintances on social media," replied Mrs. Tina.
"Recently, there have been lots of divorce cases due to infidelity on social media. Yes, at first it was just a vent. Many men are also entangled in extramarital affairs on social media," said Nono, who was just listening to it
"Advances in technology besides providing convenience are also quite worrying" I said, who had wanted to comment earlier
"Everything around us can affect behavior. The effects of social media are slowly changing the lives of children, teenagers, adults, and parents. Not a few of them have become easy targets for the various kinds of content that are scattered on social media. Starting from marriage content, food content, clothing contests, and major lifestyle contests." Said Mr. Burhan who is a school teacher
"I totally agree, sir. I myself have seen a pent-up or unvented desire for turmoil from parents who are now breaking up without any self-control. Psychologically, children are mobilized to become adults not at the right time. Not least the effectiveness of social media. affect mental health" I said
"That's why you don't talk about it after you get married" Ziraf said to me
"It's okay to talk about it. Even if there is a problem, don't hide it, it must be said. The most important thing is that we must be able to choose wisely when, where, and to whom we should confide" I said.
The sound of the Maghrib call to prayer from several mosques made our conversations stop and return to our respective homes to pray.
The End
Moral message: Speak all problems to good people, in a good place, and at the right time
