Suspending the talaaq using the words "faarigh ho"

Q: I had a nikkah last month but didn't have rukhsati right now (means girl is at her parents home). Yesterday I had a fight with her and in anger I said "Tum meri tarf se farig ho agar yahi harkatin rakhti ho tu". These were my exact words. I realized that I have done biggest stupidity of my life and suddenly contacted a mufti from web. Described to him the exact situation and words. He said that you have given your wife " Talaq-e-Mullaq" (Conditional Talaq) means when this condition will be met, she will get divorce automatically. Now I am confused that when this condition will be met. Either very next time when she does this or more than once. At that time when I was saying these stupid words to her, I didn't have the intention that very next time she"ll get divorce if she do this, as also clear form my words "Tum meri tarf se farig ho agar yahi harkatin rakhti ho tu" I seek ur help regarding this sensitive issue as me and my wife are totally helpless in this situation.

A: If she does this once then the word farigh applies and in many place the word farigh ho is equivalent to talaaq-e-baain.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
