The Grief of the Two Red Lines
Hangouts

"What is the doctor here?" His wide smile signaled that he was happy to see Zaira. Unanswered, he chimed in "Oh, doctor. Are you gonna.... " Tone hangs his sentence.

"My husband works here". Zaira knew Nada had deliberately hung up her speech so that Zaira would explain her whereabouts in the lawyer's office.

"Oh jeez. Forgive my mind doctor. Then, excuse me doctor. Good afternoon". Tone smiled as he walked past the doctors Zaira and Andre. Nada glanced at Andre for a moment, giving him a wide smile.

"Do you know him, Ra?" Andre continued to look at the woman who was walking towards the red car.

"Yes. He's the son of the head of the hospital I work at".

"Come, come". Andre turned to the right-hand side. At the very end of the room, Andre immediately opened the door. Look inside. " There's no one. Wait inside, let me find him". Andre invited Zaira in.

"Dear"

Andre and Zaira looked back. Brian stood in the back.

"Where only. Your wife's looking for you."

"I just made coffee" Brian pointed to the coffee he was holding on the left.

"Yes already. I left my room first."

After Andre left, Brian invited Zaira in. "What's the matter, baby?"

"You're busy, aren't you? Until my message is not answered".

"Ah, sorry dear. I don't see. My phone, I put it on the table earlier.". Brian put down the coffee and took his HP on the table.

Zaira walked towards the table to the right of the room. Opening an upside down picture. He knows what that photo is. Why is this photo upside down? The photo was opened, as usual. Same photo as on Zaira's laptop screen.

"Oh, why the reverse?" Brian asked. "Maybe the wind, baby."

Indeed the table was right in front of the wide-open glass window.

Zaira turned her body and asked."Mom, have you eaten?"

"I just ate, baby. I didn't get to eat this afternoon."

Zaira nodded slowly. Something is disturbing his mind at the moment.

"All right, I'm back." Zaira said as she left.

"Wait, we go home the same, baby. Hold on, I'll get this done first". Brian held down Zaira's arm which he had been folding.

"I'm taking the car, Mas. I went back to the hospital. There's an operation schedule tonight".

Brian nodded slowly.

Zaira gave a slight smile and walked towards the door.

"Dear." Brian's approaching. Reversing slowly Zaira's body and hugging her. "I'm sorry, yeah. Because you didn't read your message". Brian rubbed Zaira's hair on the roll. "Next time I will quickly reply to your message as usual. But seriously, today I really didn't see my HP. So..."

Zaira let go of his embrace. "Mas, this isn't a problem".

"alright. I'm waiting at home". Brian pecks his wife's forehead. "Be careful sweetheart".

Zaira closed the door. His hand is still there. 'Truly didn't come out to take me' he thought.

He walked to his white car, until the car disappeared, Brian also closed the window curtain glass.

*****

The operation is accelerating this afternoon. Zaira who received the call in the car immediately stuck the gas.

After the operation, Zaira was sitting languidly in her chair. He looked at his trembling HP on the table.

"Hello"

"Ra, what time is your operation done?" Hani's voice across.

"It's done. Rapidly due to the patient's condition. What's up?"

"Geez, how lethargic. Come on, come with us". Hani's voice was excited.

"Come, Ra. It's been a long time, right, we've been working. Now it's Quality Timeeeee". Revi's voice grabbed the ears. Zaira stretched out the position of the HP from her ears.

"Send Location. I'll be there"

'Hah.

Zaira opens her husband's chat feature. Typing something...

'Mas, I went for a while with Hani. My operation is over'

Zaira thought for a moment.

Then delete the message and save his HP into the bag. No need for permission this time. Her thought.

I don't know why his mind is a little messy today. Maybe playing with Revi and Hani outside can heal his mind a little.

******

The three of them walked on the glittering floor because of the many lights of a Mall.

"Hahaha duh, I finally stepped on the Mall from so long agoaaa" Revi spread his arms and shouted happily. The people around me glanced.

"Basic crazy. Didn't you just shop here 2 weeks ago?" Hani pushes Revi away. Shame for his strange behavior.

"really? Wasn't that half a year ago, huh?" Revi approached again. Revi likes to walk, shop and spend her husband's money. His money? Of course, he kept it himself.

Meeting people who have stress in life sometimes makes Revi feel what they feel. That is why after work he took the time to entertain himself.

She and her husband had a long-distance marriage. She refused to join her husband, who is a businessman in Singapore. She and her husband had a dispute because Revi refused to quit his job. Finally, her husband gave up. They decided to connect remotely. Sometimes Revi takes a leave of absence and meets her husband, or vice versa.

They stopped at a clothing store. Zaira took a look. For a long time, he did not shop.

Zaira chose several dresses and suits. Likewise Revi who did not lose frenzied in and out of the dressing room.

"Not tried first?" Ask Hani who saw Zaira directly to the cashier.

"It's already the size"

Huh.. Zaira is the type of woman who does not want complicated.

"Ayooo, we're raiding the shoe store" Revi half-screamed and ran small towards the shoe store next to him.

Both of his friends just shook their heads.

After getting tired of shopping, they choose the restaurant they will visit.

"We're going to the top foodcourt, yuk. Let's freely choose according to each taste" Revi suggested. The others agree.

Their table was full of food and drinks.

"A, Zaira. Can I ask you a favor? My sauce's left there". Hani pointed to one of the food stands not far from their place. Since Hani's hand was already full of sauce, he asked Zaira for help.

As he moved, Zaira almost hit someone with a tray of food in her hand.

"Oh. Almost. Oh, my God, I'm sorry...". Zaira's sentence hangs for a moment after seeing who the person she almost hit was.

"Ah, the doctor apparently. It's almost." The lips that always lifted the smile were now right in front of Zaira again.

"Whose doctor eats the same?" He glanced behind Zaira. "Are they doctors at the hospital too?" Ask Nada.

"really".

"Hello, Greetings, doctors". Smiling tone to make his eyes narrow.

"Oh, are you the son of Dr Winda?" Revi slapped in from the end of the table

"Doctors know me?"

"I just saw you with Dr. Winda this morning."

"Sorry doctor, I can't shake hands". Tone raised a little tray in his hand. "Okay, doctor, I'm ahead. My girlfriend is waiting there." Tone glanced at the direction where he was sitting.

Zaira looked towards the view of Nada. Not visible because it is too behind and closed food stand.

The passing tone left the doctors who were momentarily silent.

Seriate....
