The Grief of the Two Red Lines
Looking for Zaira

Brian got out of the car. On the way, he had already composed a sentence so that Zaira would believe him. He did not want Zaira to know that he had just done what his wife hated the most.

Brian glanced at his watch. There's still half an hour to go to the airport. Zaira must have prepared everything and the holiday was still carried out, he thought.

He went into his house. His eyes swept across the space. There's no one inside. Even Mbok Inah who usually watches this hour is still in the kitchen was not there.

Brian went to his room. There's no one inside either. Where's Zaira? Her thought.

Brian calls his wife but it looks like Zaira's phone is off. He decided to clean up before looking for his wife.

After a few minutes, he tried calling Zaira again but remained disconnected. Mbok Inah is also not at home.

Where'd they? Did Zaira go alone with Mbok Inah?

He wants to call Hani, but is afraid that Hani does not know the whereabouts of Zaira and feels surprised because today is their schedule for vacation. If he asks his wife, doesn't it mean that their relationship is not okay? Thinking that, Brian paused his intentions.

I don't know where Zaira is. Is he mad because Brian didn't come home? Ah, Zaira was never like this, her inner self.

Brian threw his body on the bed. His eyes glared far up. He knew what he was doing was wrong. Even if Zaira knew he would definitely lose his wife as well. But on one hand, he felt, unable to leave Rinnada.

The shadow of the girl's face now appeared again in his mind. The beautiful feeling of falling in love that he had felt when he first started, burst out again. It's like he can feel it.

Brian remembered his dream again. It had been a long time since he had dreamed of Rinnada. After a long time, Rinnada appeared in his dream in a state of tears. Brian was very hurt at the time. Even more sadly, his heartache was still felt until he woke up from his sleep.

Brian remembered something. How's Dinnara doing?

He then got up. Get the keys and the car keys. He's headed to his office.

"Well, Brian? You're not on leave?" Revan reprimands him when Brian just stepped inside the office.

Brian quiet. He doesn't have a good reason at the moment. "Andre's in his room?" Brian switched topics.

"He's on vacation too. You don't know?"

Brian furrowed his brows. "Where?"

Revan seemed to think. "I don't remember where he said it to be".

Brian was a little thought why Andre had a holiday without clarity. As he recalled, Andre was in a lot of work.

"alright. You continue your work". He said to Revan as he patted his shoulder and passed away.

Brian got in his car. He looked up and felt something strange. Why are Zaira, Mbok Inah, and Andre out of sight?

He's running the car to the hospital. Who knows, Zaira is there.

Brian knocked on Zaira's door, then opened it. He didn't find his wife there. The room looks neat as if it is untouched.

"Who are you looking for, sir?". A nurse rebuked Brian who was standing in the doorway.

"Doctor Zaira is on a day off. If there is a need, please go to the information room to make an appointment yes, sir". It was clear to Brian.

Brian then closed the door. "Thank you, if you'll excuse me". He then stepped. Nurse says Zaira's only one day off? It means he's already canceled his sabbatical.

Brian kept thinking about Zaira. He did not know where to go because until now Zaira could not be contacted. Feeling anxious, was Zaira angry and knowing where she was last night?

She's fidgeting. Then to Hani's room. He could not pretend not to care about his wife. He has to know where Zaira went.

Brian knocked on Hani's door. Then just come in without any orders.

Hani, who was sitting at the desk facing Revi, turned to wonder because Brian was even nongol in the hospital. Aren't he and Zaira on their honeymoon? Thought they were then.

"Sister Brian? What's up?" Hani walked over to Brian who was still standing at the door.

Brian was doubtful. Revi was there. He was worried that the woman could see a strange gurgle on him.

"Come in. Please sit down, brother". Hani invited Brian to sit down. He took a drink in his mini-fridge and put it on the table.

Revi sat down next to Hani. She had already smelled the unpleasant scent of her best friend's husband.

"What's up, brother?" Hani asks who saw Brian come alone without Zaira.

He tried to ask, who knows if Zaira told them. "Do you know where Zaira is?" Brian stammered. The choice to go into the room Hani is the wrong choice. He can't even turn around anymore.

Hani looked towards Revi whose gaze could not be separated from Brian's face.

"Are you not on vacation? Zaira's been applying for a leave of absence for that, right." Hani said carefully. Right, something is happening to them right now, Hani thought again.

Brian lowered. Zaira is missing without news. Just like he did last night. Brian's confused, not knowing where to go. There's no way Zaira went to her parents' house overseas, right? Ask in the heart.

"Does sister mind telling me?" Revi who had been silent since then began to make a sound. "Who knows we can help".

"We heard from Andre's brother that he didn't come home last night". Hani. "But this morning you were supposed to leave, right?"

"I finished my work at the client's house before the holidays. Then my phone died, haven't been able to tell. I also overslept so.." Brian held his breath. Glanced at the two friends of Zaira who were in front of him. "I went home and Zaira wasn't there. I don't know where he is now".

It sounded as if Revi was breathing out violently. "One lie will give birth to another lie." Revi said that he saw Brian's strange gurgle.

Right, kan. He can guess it. Brian's chest is beating great. He changed his sitting position several times.

"I'm not lying. I told you the truth. Maybe Zaira's very angry but I haven't explained this to her yet. I'll explain later, he'll understand". Say it well. He saw a small nod from Hani.

"Hani, do you know where Andre is?" Ask ensures. Because the boy hardly ever took a day off.

"To mother's house. Take the missed stuff".

Brian nodded. Yeah, there's no way he's going with Zaira. Brian regretted his thoughts that had suspected Zaira and Andre earlier.

Seriate....
