Loving the Mafia
Drafts

After a long argument in the end Rival could not keep Revalina to stay with him, he lost to Rafa and Chesy who claimed more entitled to Revalina. Meanwhile Revalina with her limp body can only resigned to take home her family.

There is nothing that Revalina can do but succumb to the situation, surrender for good so that the situation does not get worse.

By using a wheelchair, Revalina slowly pushed towards the car that was ready in front there.

It turned out that not only Rival was given the opportunity to feel sitting on a wheelchair, Revalina was given a turn to enjoy sitting in that chair.

"Reva," called Rival lirih, sad to let go of Revalina.

"Mas" said Revalina even more sadly.

Never before had he thought this farewell would repeat itself, but this time it felt so painful because Umi and her own brother were separating.

The gaze between Revalina and Rival separated when Revalina was told to get into the car. It turned out that it was not difficult to make the world of Revalina collapse, just separate her with Rival, then everything was destroyed.

It was in this kind of situation that Revalina could gauge her feelings towards Rival. Deeper than the abyss.

***

At home, Revalina just lying and pensively staring at the ceiling of her room, she still thinks of Candini who came out of the house, also thinking about her relationship with Rival.

Why is the situation like this? God, strengthen Revalina.

"Reva, eat first and take the medicine," said Chesy who stepped into the room while carrying a tray of food and drinks.

Revalina stared at the food brought. No other food made by Chesy, Revalina's favorite. But somehow Revalina was not interested in the food at all. Her appetite went nowhere.

Without saying Chesy, Revalina turned her back on Chesy.

"Reva, eat first son," persuaded Chesy.

"I do not want to eat Umi," said Revalina still with a polite tone, soft and choked.

"Reva, don't be so you have to eat in order to recover quickly, this is for your health. Umi just wants the best for you," Chesy said.

"Why Umi?" ask Rafa.

Hearing Rafa's voice, Revalina suddenly became afraid. He was afraid of Rafa who was still holding a flame of anger.

"Reva doesn't want to eat, please try to persuade who knows," replied Chesy worriedly.

"Reva," call Rafa out loud. "Not necessarily like a child. You are a strong woman. How could it even look so weak?"

"Rafa, don't be like that soft talk," Chesy reprimanded for a moment after Rafa snapped.

"I don't like that you don't appreciate Umi, the way you look back at Umi like this is just like you don't appreciate Umi" Rafa said in a voice.

So upset, Rafa's breath until stinged.

"I never taught you this" Rafa continued.

Not feeling tears welling up on her cheeks, Revalina felt she had no right to voice her heart while all unilaterally decided what they thought was good.

Slowly Revalina began to turn her body but reluctantly looked at Rafa at this time, inexplicably staring at them it felt like this chest was tight.

"I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry" Revalina said as she swallowed her saliva.

"Hunger isn't hungry you have to eat" said Rafa quickly.

"Rafa, don't be so hard" Chesy repeatedly rebuked.

But Rafa did not mengubris all of Chesy's reprimand, he really is still in the position of blood that is still boiling.

"I'm out of here in an hour if I still see that food and drink are not over. I make sure you can never meet Rival forever, your life is not for lamenting" threatened Rafa seriously.

Instantly Revalina's tears fell again, it hurt to hear the threat of Rafa this time which was so sadistic to tear her heart apart.

"Reva," called Chesy frantically, directly taking a tissue to wipe away Revalina's tears.

While Rafa who had issued his threatening sentence, immediately waltzed out of Revalina's room while snorting in annoyance.

Revalina's focus is now completely divided, between feeling the pain of hearing the threat and the joy of seeing the attention Chesy has regained after several weeks as Rival's wife.

Slowly Revalina stopped Chesy's hand that did not stop wiping her tears which also did not stop pouring.

"Umi," call Revalina looking at Chesy very deeply.

"Yes, son" said Chesy quickly.

"Thank you Umi, forgive Reva's attitude earlier," said Revalina lirih sadly.

"No papa dear, Umi understands you are sad again now. Be patient, wait for everything to improve" said Chesy with a smile.

Hearing Chesy's speech, immediately made Revalina a little calm despite not guaranteeing herself to be back with Rival after what had happened today.

That night Revalina began to eat the food that Chesy had served by being fed, slowly little by little she began to swallow the food occasionally feeling dizzy which suddenly returned to attack. His neck was clenched, it was hard to swallow food. In the end he was only able to eat half the food and immediately rushed to take medicine.

"Have a rest" said Chesy, enveloping Revalina's body.

"Yes Umi" said Revalina while throwing the sweetest smile at her.

Revalina lying. Closing his eyes, letting Chesy out of the room shortly after turning off the lights and turning on the sleeping lights, then closing the door.

POV Rivals

Arriving at a house that feels lonely no longer Candini and Revalina, Rival's life now feels empty even though Jacob and Sarah decided to stay in this house until everything improved.

"Rival, I want to talk about all these issues tonight, too" Jacob said.

"Please," said Rival lirih limp.

In the living room they began the conversation, Sarah as the only woman here just silent watching her husband and sister-in-law talking.

Rival fell silent, giving Jacob time to speak.

"I see you're not excited when you catch Dalsa, don't you want Dalsa to take responsibility for what she did?" jacob asked looking at Rival with a look of intimidation.

"Which brother wants his brother in prison, yes I know he's wrong I also want him to be responsible but from the bottom of my heart I'm heavy to see the brother I've been guarding and all this time I love being behind bars," answer Rival clearly without any convolutions.

"It is precisely your attitude like that will make Dalsa bigger head, as long as you know he arrived at the last moment still does not want to apologize to the Revalina family," said Jacob's disappointment.

Rival paused for a moment thinking of Jacob's words, right now it takes a process on his brain to digest and think about anything because his brain and head are now completely full of problems and mostly filled with his problems with Revalina.

After going through this brief thought process, Rival finally understood Jacob's intentions, but from the beginning he also knew Jacob's intention to be hard on Dalsa.

"Sorry Brother, for matters of my heart is indeed weak I cannot be as firm as you. I admit you were great at dragging Dalsa to the police station when your heart was broken at the time" said Rival with his eyes that began to glaze over.

"Sometimes the affection does not need to use the heart, just use the action, even though the action is painful but believe me that the affection will return with a better version even perfect," jacob began to shed his tears. "With punishment, Dalsa may become a better person."

As soon as Jacob immediately got a hug from Sarah, it was unexpected that Jacob who was somewhat stiff and like a person who abstained from crying now for the first time Rival saw him crying like this.

Seeing the Brother cry, Rival finally caught a cry.

"Tomorrow we are with Dalsa, yes" Sarah asked Jacob and Rival.

"Yes Ma'am," said Rival who really miss his beloved sister.

"Don't make him depend on letting him solve his own problems until he finds the humility to confess and apologize to the Revalina family.

When Jacob issued the prohibition sentence all immediately fell silent including Rival who agreed to Sarah's invitation.

After some time talking about Dalsa, Jacob changed the subject.

"Now we turn to Mama, how do we find Mama?" jacob looked confused.

"If it's easy, because Mama's not going anywhere," replied Rival casually.

"You mean?" asked Jacob while frowning.

"So Aunt Cindy told me that Mama was staying there, but she secretly told me not to go" replied Rival clearly.

"Thank God, then" said Jacob relieved to hear Rival's reply.

"So how are you related to Reva, do we need to come to Aunt Chesy's house tomorrow?" jacob was still worried.

Finally the discussion that awaited arrived, Jacob asked about Revalina this thing that made his head dizzy seven circumference.

"On that.... I'll think about it later" said Rival lirih, limp.

"No later, you must think now before it is too late" Jacob said.

"I want it to be that way too."

"You love Revalina, don't you?"

Jacob's question caused Rival's heart to melt. There's an invisible incision in there. Heart's numb. She remembered Revalina.

Ah, when can he regroup with Revalina like he used to?

"You must immediately meet Revalina, if necessary you will take us with you," Jacob said wisely.

"False, Mas. I am currently unable to think clearly. But I'll make sure to see Revalina. She's my wife."

"Whatever it is, I support you while it's for the good of both of you. Remember, as soon as you have to meet Revalina," Jacob repeated and taken by Rival.

Jacob's words continued to carry Rival into his dream, all night he was angry when sleeping and repeatedly woke up in a shocked position.

Just hours before the morning prayer, Rival glanced and felt his bed on the left, the usual part of Revalina bed.

"Reva, how are you now. I miss it" said Rival, looking at the pillow his wife used to wear. "Are you thinking of me too? What are you doing now?"

The entire corner of this room room has its own memories of Revalina which made him not stop removing the shadows of Revalina for a moment.

His life is really languishing, never imagined in his life will be separated with its contents by their respective families.

His heart crumbled when he was now performing the dawn service alone no longer congregated with Revalina, after the greeting Rival immediately kissed the mukena commonly used Revalina to pray.

"The smell of this mukena made me remember the smell of Reva's body, I so miss wanting to hug her, I really want to meet you, baby," muttered Rival.

"Reva, I'm sorry. I have failed to defend you, right said your brother, he is more entitled to your bag," said Rival again considering the incident at the hospital.

In the morning Rival with a clean body slowly came out of the room without the help of hands Revalina who used to push her wheelchair.

Now, everything really feels changed. Rival felt alone, losing Revalina.

"For Rival," said Sarah with a faint smile towards him.

"For Brother" said Rival smiling also towards him. A thin smile that makes his face look more charming. Unfortunately the smile did not come off, but was restrained.

"We're having breakfast, your brother is waiting in the dining room, yet" Sarah slowly begins to take control of the wheelchair.

It looks like Jacob's mental condition is better than yesterday, in contrast to Rival who is still disheveled especially after kissing a woman who has Revalina. The longing in his mind made him become like this, limp because of the unchanneled longing.

The whole house has its own memories. It wasn't easy for Rival to live up to this reality.

"We have breakfast bread first yes, in the refrigerator there is no longer stock food because," said Sarah.

"Yes Kak is not papa, this is more than enough," said Rival began to take a piece of bread and chew it. Somehow the bread that is usually delicious, now suddenly so bad.

Rival knows that Sarah is embarrassed to leave the house because surely many neighbors will ask about the excitement last night or even they have all heard of the problems that occur in this family.

"Later I try to order the same authentic shopping ingredients on online sites, so later in the day we will not eat bread again" said Sarah.

"Retell how good it is" Jacob said casually.

"And you, when are you going to pick up Reva?" jacob asked, looking at Rival in front of him.
