The Grief of the Two Red Lines
Mental Healing

Brian went home with a broken heart. Although he looks very selfish, somehow he really wants Zaira to take care of the child that Rinnada conceived.

He entered an unlocked house. The whole room was dark. Like there's no one in it.

"Bec.." Brian came in slowly. Turn on the one-on-one room light that he passed.

"Mbok.." call him from the kitchen. But the middle-aged woman was not present.

Brian went to his room. The room was dark too. There's no one inside.

Brian was silent for a moment. There was no one at home, not even Mbok Inah.

Brian opens the closet. Zaira's clothes are still there. Then where are they going?

He's trying to contact. But it seems Brian's number has been blocked by Zaira.

Brian scrunched up his dizzy forehead. Zaira quickly left him. But he has not compromised, there is no solution to the problem. Indeed Zaira typical who always run away and do not want to face problems.

But he could not avoid his heartbreaking feelings that Zaira had left like that. 'Where's Zaira?'

Brian rolled his body. His eyes looked at the ceiling but his mind was translucent upwards. He already has a choice. If Zaira dumps him, then he'll be with Rinnada.

He curled up and buried his face on the bolster. So heavy. He's already hurt Zaira. But, he also suddenly wanted the child that Rinnada had conceived. An extraordinary event made him close his eyes. He fell asleep there and dreamed of Zaira. Brian shed tears in his sleep.

...******...

Zaira walked to the corner of the hospital building roof. He pulled out his phone and put it in his ear.

"Hello, Son". The voice across sounded. Zaira shed her tears. Somehow her in-laws felt when they heard her current decision.

"Zairas. What's up?" Zaymusi heard Zaira's heavy breathing across. It made her feel like something was happening to her son's household. They called each other yesterday and gave good news to the in-laws. If Zaira dared to call him in a state of sadness, it means that Zaira was no longer able to hold him.

"Pa, how are you?" Zaira's voice sounded hoarse. Musi answered immediately. Trying to digest what is happening.

"Papa is always healthy. Say, Son. What made you call your current situation. Did Bian hurt you?"

Zaira did not answer. She was crying again. A hiccup until he can't speak. He had gathered strength to tell the in-laws.

"Sorry, Pa. Forgive Zaira." He sobbed again.

Musi just kept silent to hear his daughter-in-law across who could not yet feel the emotion of sadness in him.

"Pa, would I still be Papa's son if I parted ways with Brian?"

Zaymusi lowered her gaze. Heavy hearted to hear the words of Zaira which signifies the rift of her and Brian's household.

"Until whenever you're still my son. Whatever happens. Zaira, you're the best girl I've ever met after my wife."

Zaira sobbing. Even the best women can be hurt, is that fair? His inner.

He was eager to hug Papa Brian. Honey, they're a long way away.

"You know you've been trying, son. You're at your limit." Speak it wisely. Although he did not know clearly what problems made his child's household destroyed, but he was very aware, all was Brian.

"I'm sorry Papa, who is not right in educating children."

Zaira kept crying. No matter when, her tears were still full. Papa Brian really appreciates women. Zaira thought Brian would imitate her Papa, who remained faithful until his death. But apparently not, this Son and Father are very different. They are two people with different mindsets.

Zaira shut the phone. He crouched down while hugging his knees. Crying hiccups. The apology he heard from Papa Brian made him sick. Brian himself hasn't told her that. Does Brian not feel wrong about him?

...*****...

Hani hugged Zaira's shoulder. He gently stroked his back with pity. His friend from the time of college is now struck by a deep sadness.

Revi also patted Zaira on the shoulder. "You're a strong woman, Ra. Whatever it is, you've thought about it carefully. I support your decision. It's not true that you're on the verge of heartache because of your love for Brian. You have to keep thinking about your mental state". His advice to Zaira. He felt Zaira was really tough.

"I ventured to take care of my divorce. But I myself am not able to. But every time I remember that picture, my pain increases. I don't like this feeling." A single tear flowed towards his chin. He just let it all spill for now. So that there would be no more tears to cry for Brian the next day.

"You've worked hard for your feelings and your home. You deserve to be happy now." Say Hani softly. Encouraging Zaira who will start her own life.

"Now, come on, come with me to meet Sivia."

Zaira furrowed her brows. I don't know who Revi meant.

"He's that girl. I gave her the name Sivia. He's starting to improve. Come".

Hani and Zaira follow Revi towards the Soul poly. The place where the old pregnant woman was.

Arriving there. They saw Sivia was neat and clean. Her hair was long. He wears a T-shirt. Staring out the window that made his face touched as gently as the gentle breeze.

Revi unlocks his room. She's looking.

"Hi, Sivia" Revi smiled at him. He didn't reply. His face looked out the window again.

"He's been very well. Although he did not want to talk, he wanted to answer even with a nod" Revi gently touched Sivia's shoulder.

Zaira looked at Sivia's sad face. He felt his life was the same as that woman. After all, the woman had already endured her unrequited feelings of love well. He held her alone. The friend he thought was the best stabbed him in the back. His family did not want him back.

Seeing Sivia, she felt grateful to have a friend who cared about her. She is also increasingly convinced by her decision to divorce Brian.

"Did you cancel the adoption?" Hani's voice breaks Zaira's daydream.

"No. I will continue to adopt him. I like this woman a lot". He said with a smile looking at Sivia who turned to look at him. Sivia looked at Zaira calmly. He gave a faint smile to Zaira, then switched again to face the window.

"Ah... Ra, he likes you." Hani. He also caught a glimpse of the smile on Sivia's face.

"He also understands what we mean. But, he just wasn't so willing to communicate. His heart and mind are still very heavy." Revi stroked Sivia's hair again. She was happy that Sivia was slowly improving. The meeting of Zaira and Sivia is very helpful for the two to look at each other.

Zaira will see herself mentally burdened if she chooses Brian. While Sivia, she will be happier if she just let go of her love for her inner happiness.
