JAKARTA - The mediation efforts between Ruben Onsu and Sarwendah seem to have to be postponed until next month. Minola Sebayang, Ruben's lawyer, revealed that the invitation for a meeting sent by Sarwendah's legal team was considered unprofessional and unclear.
"There is no (discussion), Mas. Because he sent the letter inviting him to join the meeting, but they did not say the time and place. How do I say I want to meet or not if there is no place and time?" said Minola Sebayang in a virtual interview, Tuesday, June 16.
Due to the lack of details, Minola finally took the initiative to reschedule the meeting. However, Ruben Onsu's busy schedule and worship plans are the main obstacles in the near future.
"We say that because of my busy schedule and Ruben's busy schedule are different, so that eventually my time is there and Ruben is there, it was only around the beginning of July. Moreover, Ruben on the 22nd wants to Umroh," he said.
Minola himself was skeptical of the urgency of the meeting if the material discussed was only things that were clearly stated in the notary deed agreement.
"This is still an invitation to join a meeting. We don't know what the meeting will discuss. Because according to us, when children meet their father, it doesn't need to be met, Mas. It just depends on the intention," Minola teased.
For Ruben's side, handing over the child to live with his father for several days is a death price that cannot be renegotiated.
"What is certain? Regarding the issue of the schedule for children to meet their father who is 2 to 3 days a week. Is this going to be renegotiated? I think Ruben will definitely not want to negotiate again about it," he said.
The postponement of this meeting was also based on Ruben's suspicion that the invitation was only a strategy to hinder the legal steps that his client was preparing.
"We can suspect a trick just to delay time so that we don't meet our child, and as if we are not worthy of legal action in the midst of a request for negotiations. Well, here it is," said Minola.
Regarding Ruben's longing for Thalia and Thania, Minola admitted that he could not describe it with words. For him, his client's suffering is currently at the highest level for a father.
"Wow, Mas, this doesn't have to be asked again. I think all parents must know how it feels to want to meet with a child but can't meet. Something that can no longer be described, the longing is no longer helpful," he said softly.
Regarding the former manager's insistence that Sarwendah apologize, Minola left it entirely to the opposing party. For him, an apology and access to the child are the keys to opening the path to peace.
"If he (Sarwendah) apologizes to Ruben and allows the children to gather with their father, I think other things like alimony and gono-gini will be easy to talk about," explained Minola.
For now, Ruben's main focus is to carry out the Umrah prayer calmly while waiting for confirmation of the meeting schedule in July.
"It means it's that simple. Gathering, quality time, walking, eating, picking up school, going to school, 3 days. After that, they go back to their mother's house. It's not difficult, right?" concluded Minola Sebayang.
