The Grief of the Two Red Lines
My rinnadaya

Brian is currently waiting for Rinnada at the front campus cafe. She smiled as Rinnada called her earlier and said she wanted to see you. Brian was surprised, because before returning home, Rinnada had said that he would be busy in three days and would probably ignore the phone call from Brian. But he was even on Rinnada's phone an hour ago and invited to meet.

Krieg!

The sound of the door opening into Brian's ears. He immediately turned his head and waved his hand towards Rinnada.

Brian squinted his eyes. I looked at Rinnada a little differently. She wears jeans and pink jeans and covers her head with a hoodi.

"Sit down." Said Brian.

Rinnada sat down in front of Brian. Their tables are small, so their distance is close.

In front of Rinnada there was already warm orange juice. As Rinnada told Brian, he really likes warm oranges in cold weather.

Rinnada looked at the glass in front of him.

"I'll order first. Your favorite." Brian smiled.

Rinnada returned her smile.

"Is your job done?"

Rinnada nodded. Grasping a glass filled with hot orange in front of him.

"You're so handsome". Rinnada looked at Brian with a smile.

"Did you change at night?" Brian asked with a laugh hearing Rinnada who suddenly praised him.

"You want to order food? Let me pe.."

"Ah, no." Rinnada clasped Brian's hand with both hands. He held a finger larger than his finger. Warm, passionate.

"I want to keep this up". Rinnada said without taking his eyes off Brian's fingers.

He let Rinnada do it. Because he likes it too.

Rinnada continued to grip and stroke Brian's back.

"I like you, Brian". Rinnada looked at him.

Brian smiles. "Gee. You even started to dare to call my name like that huh". Brian's words made Rinnada raise his eyebrows.

"Shall I call you darling?" Rinnada.

"I like that". Brian said with a happy smile. His heart was pounding waiting for the affectionate call from Rinnada.

"I love you so much, Rinnada."

Rinnada stretched his grasp. "alright. I'll go home first". He said to Brian as he moved out of his chair.

"Can we meet every night?" Ask Rinnada who is already standing.

"of course. We meet every day at college".

"No. I want it every night. Right here. At the same hour. Meet me even if it's only 5 minutes." Rinnada smiled and passed away leaving Brian confused.

"Rinnada, it seems like my charm is capable of making you change so well". Brian muttered.

***

Days pass. Brian met Rinnada every night at the same place and hour. During that time he saw Rinnada always wearing something pink. When asked, he said just try it because Brian is the one who made it this way.

Brian and Rinnada are getting closer. Their feelings are getting stuck with each other.

Last night Rinnada said that he entered the afternoon class. Actually Brian wants to meet but their time is not right. Brian went in the morning and came home in the afternoon, Rinnada also entered the afternoon and went home in the afternoon.

Brian saw Rinnada walking with his friend while occasionally laughing.

"Look at my beautiful girlfriend, Ndre". Brian's eyes looked at the graceful Rinnada with a long black span skirt with a hemisphere that revealed its smooth calf. He combined it with a black and white lyrical top that was inserted into the skirt. Rinnada walked in with the white sneakers he wore on his first date.

"My love.." Shouted Brian waving his hand towards Rinnada.

The girl frowned. Her face remains cute plus a hair roll with a konde puncture that Brian bought.

"You're! He's right, so ashamed of you yelling so". Andre patted Brian hard on the shoulder. Looking towards Rinnada whose face was reddened in embarrassment to see her friends laughing along.

"Then did you say?He was the one who asked me to call him that! You don't know anything!" Grumpy Brian.

Brian approached Rinnada. "Come, come with me".

Rinnada frowned. "Where? I have class soon".

"There's still an hour left, right? Comewithme". Brian pulls Rinnada's hand. The girl just followed.

They sit on campus park benches.

"You're that beautiful disposable". Brian glanced at the hair scroll above Rinnada's head.

"So Ian knows where I'm from in an hour's class?" Rinnada's question ignored Brian's praise.

"Hey, I'm not old. You remember what you said last night".

"Last night?"

"Yes. I'm just saying, tonight I can't come to a normal place. Because this afternoon I'll pick up Papa at the airport. He just got back from out of town. So maybe I'll have dinner with him."

Brian looked at Rinnada's face. "You're so pale, Rin. What pain?" Brian holds Rinnada's forehead.

Rinnada. Grasping Brian's hand.

"Come, go".

"Where? Isn't there a class any minute?" Ask Brian in surprise. Rinnada's a diligent boy. Even before going to bed Brian called for just five minutes. He said he was on a lot of errands. But somehow this girl always took the time to meet at 7 every night at the cafe.

"I want to walk with you, brother."

"You truant?" Brian was surprised by Rinnada today.

He nodded. "Today only. Take me out. Sitting in the park is okay. Just not here."

Brian is not sure. Rinnada's son, truant?

"Why? Last night on the phone didn't want to be around for long because I was studying and collecting assignments for today, right?

Rinnada was silent for a moment. "This once. Come on, brother." Persuade Rinnada.

"Ah, yes. Alright. Come on." Brian finally relented and clasped Rinnada's hand walking out of the campus.

They left in a taxi. Rinnada wants to go to the zoo. Brian could not stop thinking about the cute behavior of Rinnada who whined like a child in a taxi earlier.

The zoo is not so crowded because it is not a holiday.

Rinnada. He's very happy.

"Come here, look at this." Rinnada said happy to see the animals there.

"Yes, just a minute." Brian was very pleased with Rinnada. Maybe he was too stressed because of college work, Brian thought.

After getting tired of going there. They rest on one of the park benches. Rinnada untied her hair and stored her condenser in her side bag.

Brian came with two drinks. He handed the cold lemon tea to Rinnada.

"What's this?" Tanya Rinnada looked at the bottle of drink Brian was holding.

"Lemon tea's. Your favorite". Speak lightly. But the bottle has not been received Rinnada. "Why?"

Rinnada. He took the drink.

"What kind of drink?"

"Cold white water". Brian drank his drink.

"I want". Rinnada grabbed the bottle in Brian's hand and drank it.

"Darling, that's my ex. I can buy it for you". Said Brian who was surprised by what Rinnada did.

"Why?" Rinnada looked towards Brian.

"Didn't he say last night he didn't like to share drinks even with the closest people?"

"really?" Rinnada smiled. "I don't remember saying that." He downed another drink right where Brian was drinking.

"Is your job too much?" Asked Brian who was looking strangely towards Rinnada.

Rinnada sighed.

"After I got to know you, I was so lazy to study".

Hearing that, Brian immediately laughed. "So, am I poison for you?"

Rinnada did not answer. He put his head on Brian's shoulder.

"Did you really love me?"

"I've fallen in love with you, Rinnada". Brian tilted his body, then hugged Rinnada who was leaning on his shoulder. He stroked the wavy hair of Rinnada.

Brian's hug is warmly countered by Rinnada. "Then can I ask for help?" Rinnada put her face to Brian.

"say".

"Can you memorize my face?"

Brian looked at the face of Rinnada who was in his arms. Real close. He could even feel Rinnada's breathing.

"I've memorized it so much". Said Brian who looked closely at the beautiful face of his lover.

Rinnada. "Look and memorize".

Brian looked at Rinnada's face. Caressing cheeks. His heart is now beating. The Rinnada he loved was now in his arms. Their faces are very close. Perhaps even, the thump in Brian's heart could be felt by Rinnada.

Brian was closing his face. He was no longer able to hold back. Brian tilted his face. Put his hand on Rinnada's neck. His thumb was down Aunt Rinnada. Slowly touching her lover's little lips with hers. He could feel Rinnada gently returning his kiss. They did it long enough. Until Brian lifted his head. Looking at Rinnada's eyes that were starting to open.

Brian swallowed his saliva. Look at her boyfriend's face again. He rubbed the soft temples of Rinnada. Then hugged him, crammed Rinnada's body with his. "I really love you, my dear Rinnad".

Hearing that, Rinnada buried her face in Brian's chest and replied tightly to Brian's embrace.

Seriate....
