The Grief of the Two Red Lines
Brian's Concern

Brian turned his face away.

"You must feel it too, right. Rinnada is not like that. Aye, right?" Andre's voice began to rise. He runs out of ways so Brian can think of returning to the way he used to be, before meeting Rinnada.

"No. He is Rinnada. His tone, his manner of dress, all like the real Rinnada." Brian remembered Rinnada's face. The woman has not changed. Yeah, he never changed.

Andre exhaled his breath violently. "Well! You really still have feelings for her, don't you! Look, the way you explained that." Andre shook his head in disbelief.

"You know, he met Zaira on purpose. His mother was the head of the hospital where Zaira worked. Zaira knows it, but doesn't know her as her husband's first love". Andre said as he passed leaving Brian shocked and his face looked panicked.

'Huh. How is this Brian's Inner. He didn't expect this to happen. He told Rinnada to slow down. Because he himself will tell Zaira. But seeing Zaira's reaction lately, he undoes his intentions.

All this time, Brian felt bad about lying to Zaira. Since yesterday, he felt that Zaira knew about Rinnada coming to this city. But, after hearing Andre's words just now, it seemed that Zaira did not know it yet. Then what happened? Why did Zaira change? My wife, she has strong feelings.

Brian cursed himself. Feeling very stupid and greedy. His heart still loves Zaira. But, after seeing Rinnada again, he was shaken. Moreover, Rinnada turned into the real one. The soft and graceful Rinnada.

Brian regretted his actions, when he first met Rinnada that morning ~

Brian ran in the morning, as usual, some acquaintances greeted him. No one knows him. Because around his house the average office worker. They are very busy outside. It was rare to see people in this housing gathering in the afternoon. Only faces that he often glimpsed as he passed by.

BRUK!

A woman fell in front of Brian. The woman ran faster through it. But I don't know why this woman fell right in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Brian asked while helping the woman stand up.

"Not ap...". The woman hung up her sentence. It was like being stunned to see who was helping him.

So does Brian. More unexpected to see the figure of a girl in front of him. He took his hand off the woman. Stand back a few steps.

"Sister Ian.." The woman looked at Brian. His face was like he wanted to cry, the person he missed was now in front of him.

"You..." Brian's face was pale. How shocked he was to see Rinnada in front of him. The graceful Rinnada, the fragrant Rinnada is still the same.

"Sister Ian. Brother hasn't changed. I miss.." The woman approached. He hugged Brian who was still stiff in his place.

"Sister, I didn't expect to see you here. Brother why leave? I'm always looking for you". I heard Rinnada's sobs. Brian melts. He could not see this woman crying.

Brian let go of his embrace. Staring at Rinnada. 'He really is Rinnada' Her inner self.

"Sister, don't you miss me? Does your brother still love me?" Rinnada showered him with questions. "Sister, I know you're married. I know your wife." Face glum.

"I'm sorry". Brian said, keep looking at the woman. His heart is uncertain. There is joy and sadness. Stupidly, her heart reacted with the words of Rinnada who offered her a baby.

"What did you say?"

"I'm just offering, brother. I know your nature that likes children. But your wife can't give it to you, can she?" Rinnada. He took Brian's hand.

"Sister, I'm sure your wife understands. I didn't ask her husband. I just want to give her husband a descent. After that, you can be with her again, right?"

Brian was silent. She recalled that Zaira had asked her to find a woman to produce her child. That'sallthatis. But at that time, Brian was angry. Why did Zaira say that. As if I could see it with another woman. He said that action was very unwise.

"Rin. I. for now, please don't be like this." He said while letting go of Rinnada's grasp.

"Sister.didn't you leave me?" Rinnada lirih's voice.

Brian fell silent.

"You still think I'm a hallucinating Rinnada?" Rinnada showed his disappointed face. "Don't you know me?" Rinnada put a yellow ribbon in Brian's grasp.

Face sad. Brian was like drifting in the good memories of the past.

"I've never been anyone else, brother. I'm still me. Rinnada, your lover first." Rinnada hugged Brian who was still looking at the ribbon in his grasp.

They drift in memories long ago, where love blossomed. Brian's first love.

******

Rinnada sat on the grass opposite Brian who leaned himself on the tree trunk. The afternoon atmosphere in the campus garden is very beautiful. The breeze helps the leaves that have yellowed fall off. Right in Rinnada's wavy hair.

Brian carefully picked it up. His fingers trace the face of his lover. Rinnada's eyes closed, enjoying the gentle touch of his man.

"Sweet one". Brian said softly.

Rinnada opened his eyes. Smiling looked at Brian who was looking at her warmly.

"Rin.." Brian grabs Rinnada's very sweet hand wearing a chain bracelet bearing Rinnada's name. The gift Brian just gave me.

"Are you allowed to marry me? Did your parents approve of that?" Brian's question sounded scared. What if it turns out that his parents did not allow him to get married and had to finish his education first? Their age is three years. It seemed, Brian could not afford to wait that long until he had to have this girl completely.

"Is that so?" Brian rubbed Rinnada's cheek again. "I'll be there. Want to talk to the woman who gave birth to my lover". He said with a smile teasing Rinnada.

"Patience in a minute". Rinnada. He saw Brian who was very impatient.

"I have my Papa's blessing. I've also got a place in his company." Brian closed his face to Rinnada's ears. Whispering something made Rinnada laugh cheerfully.

He looked at Brian. "Thank you". Speak meaningfully. He meant.

"For what?" Ask Brian.

"For everything". Brian's hand was stroking his cheek. Keep his eyes deep. "Thank you for getting to know me. Thanks for chasing me. Thank you for putting me in your heart. Thank you for loving me." Rinnada's words touched Brian's heart.

Rinnada took a breath and exhaled slowly. "Darling, there's something I want to tell you."

"Say". Said Brian who was engrossed in playing the end of Rinnada's hair. Put it on his nose, inhaling the distinctive fragrance of Rinnada.

"Still remember at the zoo, what did I say?"

Brian remembered. Ah yes, that time. He also nodded.

"That's.. "

BRAK!!

A backpack was stranded right near them. Brian who knew the owner of this backpack also began to put on an angry face.

"Hooahhh!!"

Someone put his head on the backpack that fell down earlier. Right in front of Brian.

"Damn, you!"

BAM!!

A kick landed right on his butt that caused Andre's body to roll over.

"Ah you are!" Shouted Andre as hell. In her hair were already a few small leaves that were concerning.

Rinnada laughed at the behavior of these two people before him.

"What the fuck! Just disturb!" Shouted Brian no less upset.

"I'm just taking a break. Why are you even angry. Lina is okay. Yeah, right, Rin?" Andre's looking for a defense.

"I'm distracted. There are still many places. Not here!"

Andre didn't listen to Brian. He turned his face towards Rinnada. "Look at your boyfriend's behavior, Rin. You know, not a single woman wants to be with him. Just you, Rin. The only." Andre said to Rinnada who just laughed funny.

"Speak what you are! There go!" Brian throws a small stone at Andre's body.

"Thank you so much Rina. Thanks to you, my friend, the madness is a little less". Andre put together both palms in front of his face. "If not, I'm the one who suffers from being around her."

"Hey you!"

BRAKK!! Andre's bag had already floated into the face of the owner.

"What's? I'm talking facts. FACTS!" Andre said firmly.

Brian stood up to chase after Andre.

"You want what you!" Shouted Andre.

Brian ran straight towards her. Chasing it. Andre ran away first. They were chasing around the place. From one tree to another.

"Why are you angry?". Andre ran away. He hid behind Rinnada's body.

"Hey what are you doing there!"

"Rin, help me out of your boyfriend's rampage." Andre said.

"Don't touch my girlfriend. Not there!" Shouted Brian chasing again.

"Rin, calm down your girlfriend.." Pinta Andre who just in reply laughs happily by Rinnada.
