The Grief of the Two Red Lines
CONFLICT (1)

It's been almost a month Rinnada hasn't seen Brian. Nor does it send out the strange things that make Brian remember his past again. According to Andre, Brian has finished his past story because his feelings for Zaira are more dominant at this time.

Zaira sat in her chair. He leaned back and twirled his chair a few days ago, persuading Brian to adopt a child. But Brian said it later. I don't know what's incriminating, Zaira also does not force.

Zaira gets a message from Revi, asking her to come to the Soul Poli. He glanced at the clock, already in time for rest. He then opened his doctor's suit and walked out of the room to see Revi.

Zaira patted the shoulder of Revi who was standing waiting for her.

"Hurry, come with me." Revi walked towards a place that Zaira had never entered before. There, there is Hani who is sitting in front of a room that some of the walls use iron bars.

"Han, already?"

Hani looked over, then nodded.

"What's wrong?" Zaira asked who saw a woman sitting in the corner of the room. He turned his back on them so that Zaira could only stare at his long, messy hair.

"She's a pregnant woman with a psychiatric disorder. Her husband brought her here".

"What's? Her husband?" Zaira who heard him was shocked.

"Yes. Her husband just drove her. After that, he had never been visited. It's been two weeks here."

Zaira looked at the woman. He looked frightened while occasionally covering his head with a hand like protecting from someone who was about to hit him.

"Han, how?" Revi asked Hani who had checked the condition of the woman's pregnancy.

"good. All good. I'm amazed. Maybe he ate the wrong food. But the condition of the fetus is very good."

Zaira approached towards the room. He grasped the iron that stood as a barrier.

"Say, she married a rude man. From the beginning, his mother had already banned him. Then she eloped to this town with the man until she finally gave up wanting to kill herself because of her husband's flirting and cheating." Obviously Revi on Zaira who looks frozen in place.

"We've tried to contact her parents, but they don't care anymore. His mother was heartbroken because her son preferred him over her. The woman was repeatedly hurt. He also wanted to go home, but was ashamed of his parents. Until finally, she was left behind and her husband remarried to his best friend." Revi then sat down next to Hani.

"Ra, if you want, you can adopt her son. I've checked the whole. She's really healthy. In about two weeks, the baby will be born". Said Hani who gave advice because she heard Zaira wanted to adopt a child to strengthen her relationship with Brian.

"He's a girl, Ra. His son must be beautiful. Because that woman is also very beautiful."

Zaira continued to stare at the woman who was behind her.

"I feel sorry for him. She was too in love with her husband. In fact, he is still very young. His future is still long ahead. Too bad." Connect Revi again.

Zaira looked towards her best friend. "I'm very anxious to take care of my son". Said Zaira who was concerned. Somehow he remembered the woman who later chased Brian to threaten suicide. How much they want to sacrifice themselves like that.

"But, I need Brian's approval first. I'll persuade him".

"Alright, Ra. I'll take care of everything for you. I'm very happy with your decision" Revi said, hugging Zaira. He really hoped that Zaira would adopt the child.

"I'll make him heal. I'll help her ease whatever's a burden on her mind." Revi said again. Hearing the story of the woman in front of him, made him smell. Moreover, the husband who drove her looked like disgust. It was very desirable for Revi to punch the man yesterday.

It looks trivial, but what the woman feels must have hurt her feelings. Revi wants to help her through a bad day and make her bastard husband regret it.

...*****...

Zaira met Brian in the living room. Rarely in the afternoon they were home. Usually, if not Brian who came home late, then Zaira la who came home late because of the schedule of an impromptu operation.

Brian looked calm. Drink tea while playing his cell phone. He did not even glance as Zaira sat next to him.

"So serious". He said when he wasn't ignored by Brian.

"Ah, sorry dear." Brian put his phone on the table. She then stroked Zaira's hair. "What's wrong?"

"I want to talk important. But please listen to me until it's over". She then changed her seat slightly to face her husband.

Brian nodded with a smile. He already understands. If this is the case, Zaira would have wanted it.

"Well, she's pregnant now, mas. Her husband threw it away. He's young too. He's about 18-19, so I'm not wrong. Well, in about two weeks' time, his son's gonna be born". Zaira stopped her sentence, waiting for Brian to respond. He hoped the man had caught what he meant.

"So, you mean..."

"Yes, mas. I want to adopt her son. I don't know why I feel sorry and want to help her".

Brian was silent for a moment. She stroked Zaira's hair again.

"How's it?" Ask Zaira carefully. She hoped her husband would grant her request.

"Have you thought carefully?"

Zaira nodded quickly. His eyes glinted at Brian in front of him.

"Yes, already. If you think about it, I agree. Just don't burden you when you work later".

"Huh?" Zaira shut her mouth. "It's serious, isn't it, Mas?"

"Yes. Seriously. That makes you happy".

"Huh, thank you, ma'am." Zaira was excited as she hugged Brian. He felt very happy and impatient to give news to Revi and Hani.

"All right, sweetheart. I take a shower first". Brian kissed Zaira on the forehead and moved from his seat.

Zaira pulled out her phone to call her best friend. Then, there was the sound of a bell from the gate. Mbok Inah walked quickly towards the front.

"Hello, Rev. Thank goodness Brian finally adopted the boy, Rev. I'm so happy"

.....

"Yes. Just help me, yeah."

Mbok Inah came with a blue box in his hand.

"Sorry, Non. There's package".

"Oh, it's been a while, yeah. I'll call you back later".

Zaira put her phone in a pants pocket.

"Who is this from, Mbok?" Zaira shook the box that was the width of her hand.

"No idea, Non. He said make Brian's den". Mbok Inah then moved to start sweeping.

"Brian, huh? What is the client?" Zaira slowly opened the box. He was a little confused as he held the small object that was inside the box. "Testpack?" Zaira's forehead wrinkled. Who would send something like this to Brian? Was it wrong to send? Her thought.

He then touched something that looked like a closed photo. Slowly he turned around the large number of photos.

BRAK!!

The box fell to the floor.

Mbok Inah tergopoh run while grasping his broom.

"Non, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Jesus!" Mbok Inah dropped the broom in his hand. He covered his mouth while looking at the photos that were strewn on the floor.

Photos of Brian with Rinnada who fell asleep only with a blanket covered.

Zaira froze in place. Tears flowed from the corner of his eyes. He is no longer able to think. The heartache he tried to suppress was beginning to tingle. Zaira closed her eyes. Imagining Brian's treacherous face that turned out to have lied to him.

Seriate....
