Divorce

After challenging her, " I won't give you single penny," I went back to my friend's house.

I asked my friend, "bro, tell me how can I avoid from alimony payment, if I gate a divorce?" 

"Hmm , what are you talking about? Why do you need to get a divorce ? Is it everything okay?" My friend asked me, as if he don't understand what I am saying.

" No, I am not getting a divorce , I am just asking, if I were to get a divorce, How could I avoid from paying alimony, if I can" I said, those words as if I am trying to make it sound like I was asking for advice if I ever applied for the divorce. By hiding my true intention of giving divorce.

"No, there is no such a way to avoid paying alimony, unless your wife is financially stronger and stable than you and has strong connections and support. However ,even if she has all those things, the court might still consider wife is in bad situation and order you to pay alimony." my Friend said.

I asked him, "what if I, the husband I mean me, tells the court that he won't pay alimony . Because he sold all his assets. Can't he avoid paying alimony then?"

"Hmmm. Don't tell me you are trying to give divorce to Serena." He asked me as if he find some suspicious in my words because I suddenly started asking him about the divorce and alimony.

" No, why would I? of course I am not, I am just asking. If I decide to get a divorce. Could I avoid paying alimony as a hypothetical situation?" I said those words to him. Make him believe it was just a hypothetical question. 

Then I brought him to the same topic saying, " tell me, is it possible for a husband to paying paying alimony by selling his assets?"

" No, it doesn't matter, whether the husband sells his assets or not. the Court doesn't even care bother what you did with your assets. For the court, the wife well- being is more important than your financial situation. Even if you don't have a single penny in your pockets. the court still makes you work and pay alimony to your wife. And moreover who, sells their property just because for alimony?" My friend told me.

Hearing this, it made me uncomfortable because I thought, if I pay alimony, I will lose my challenge and it will be biggest damage for my pride as a man.

I asked my friend, " there is truly don't have any way to avoid paying the alimony?"

"No....." My friend said.as if no one could escape from alimony. 

But it seems like that word "no " fueled my ego and my pride and made me think that I would make it possible, I would show that if a man wants he can escape from anyone and from anything. Yes, I will show to everyone by escaping from this cursed alimony.

After the conversation about alimony with my friend, I went back to my room. The room I was using in my friend house. It was large and spacious , I think maybe that room was built for 10 people. Because if ten people were to go inside that room, there is still enough space to move and sleep without problem.

I went inside the room and lay on top of the bed, looking at ceiling and the fan. the fan was spinning like it has no ending. And I was thinking all the conversation happened between me and my friend. And I thought is there truly no option to avoid paying alimony if I give divorce to Serena, even if I sell all of my assets? No there is must be some loopholes I just need to find them. If I find them, then no one can able to stop me from escaping alimony. Yes that's right.

 thinking like that. don't know when I just fell asleep as if I accomplished something that I never did in my life.

Then again, sun rose and its rays come to slap my face to say," just wake up, you damn bastard! how many days do I have to tell the same thing?" again and again.

I woke up from the dream where I successfully escaped from paying alimony and Serena was begging me to not to leave her. then I slowly opened my eyes. I saw my surroundings everything was the same and unchanged. And I was still sitting on the bed where I slept yesterday. Then I realized everything I saw was just dream but one thing that bothered me from that dream was foreign journey because in my dream I escaped from paying alimony by going foreign countries. 

So I wondered, can I escape from paying alimony by going foreign countries. It made me curious, so I wanted to know what would happen if I went to foreign countries after the divorce. So I looked for my mobile everywhere but couldn't find it but when I lifted my head I saw a computer in front of balcony as if my friend intentionally put that computer in front of balcony.

so he can work or do something on the computer while enjoying the nature and the tree in front of balcony.

So I immediately went and sit in front of computer and turned it on. With eager as if I was doing something very important.

So I turned on quickly and started to searching for escaping alimony by going foreign countries. but no matter how many times I search that topic. I never fond an article or suggestions where people had successfully avoid paying. instead it showed how to reduce paying alimony or something similar , which made me so annoyed and frustrated. So I just turned off the computer and went outside, acting as if I was very angry. To be honest thinking about my actions at that time it makes me realize how foolish I was.

After turning off the computer. I went to the hall and sat down on sofa, making a weird expression as If I lost everything. And I was biting my nails and spitting.

 seeing me like that, my sister, I mean the wife my friend, came and sat on sofa that was in front of me. Then she asked me what happened, if everything was okay right? Do have any problem, if there is any, tell me I will try answer those problems.

I stared at her for a moment and thought " why not?"

I asked her, " rabbit ( the pet name I gave her when we were children's. Because when we are children. Her tooth was looked like rabbit tooth. So to make her fun. I start to call her rabbit but unfortunately, her pet name became famous and everyone was started to call her rather than rabbit than Maria. And I think maybe she also liked that name so she never complained to teacher about me calling her rabbit.) I want to ask you something . Will you answer me."

Rabbit reminded silent for a moment as if she is thinking about something then told me " not , general questions, right? If it is please don't even bother ask me for anything. I truly don't know anything.

I told her, " no, I am not asking any general questions. I just want to know something I am bothered with so I want ask you for clarification.

"Hm... Okay I don't guarantee anything but I will try " so tell me what is your questions 

"I.. I want to know, if you were to give divorce to your husband. What will be your actions. I mean what you would you do if that situation came up in your life?" I asked her.

"Hmm, nothing. I would just file a case for alimony and live comfortably. Since asking for support is my right after all. But don't worry that situation will never come because I love my husband more than myself" she started to describe her husband and her life as if she was searching for someone who could listen to her story.

Hearing those speeches from rabbit made me annoying at the same it made me jealous. because how much she loves her husband.
