The Grief of the Two Red Lines
Extra4

Andre helped Brian put his suitcase in the car, he's leaving tonight.

"Have you?" Andre asked Brian who was just standing pensive.

"You want to go home?" Andre closes the trunk of the car, asking Brian because the man looks heavy.

"No".

"Ck! Come on, come on in!" Andre opens the car door and pushes Brian's body in.

Andre was driving at moderate speed, his hands tapped at the steering wheel, enjoying the soft music.

The roar of the sky began to sound, signaling tonight it seemed like it was going to rain.

Brian leaned his body, put his hands in a pocket of scraps, he heard the lyrics of the song carefully, the lyrics that made him drift away.

🎶 My tears always drip if I see you. I don't know why either.

Will return to me that inevitable love.

I love you, I feel like this is my destiny.

Let's not part again, be by my side.

Don't go from me, don't go from me 🎶

Hearing the lyrics, Brian wants Zaira back to him, he misses the presence of the woman in his life.

Andre's phone vibrated, "Yes, Ra?" Follow with a fixed view of the road.

Brian immediately turned his head, it seemed like Zaira was calling Andre.

"Montir? Wait a minute, yeah". He then ended the call.

"Who?" Ask Brian curiously.

"Zaira, the car broke down." Andre slowly looked at the streets as well as his cell phone in turn.

"Hello, Bro, can you go down the hero's path? My friend the car broke down, please yeah. Now, sip, okee". Andre put down his phone.

"The hero's path isn't near here, huh. Aren't you?" Andre muttered as if speaking to himself.

Brian patted the car dashboard. "Stop, stop, Ndre!"

Spontaneous Andre pulled over the car, "why, what's wrong?"

Brian got out of the car, he immediately ran in the opposite direction.

Andre's coming out, "Hey, Yaannn!" Shouted Andre to Brian who had run fast and away.

Andre shook his head. "Basic crazy!".

A drop of water fell on his hand. "Ah, Rain." Andre went straight into the car, because it was raining. He drove off, looking for a way to turn around and pick up Brian who was definitely at Zaira's place.

"Bro, sorry, don't be, yeah". He said to the mechanic he ordered earlier.

Brian stood by the quiet side of the road, allowing himself to be drenched in the torrential rain. He felt very empty, because Zaira seemed to really not leave the slightest hope for him.

The heart that Brian thought was withered, turned out to be dead. The woman closed her heart tightly to Brian.

Brian clenched his hands, he lowered his head. The rain made him even more sad, he could not hide his tears that were flowing along with the rain.

While not far behind him, Andre noticed Brian still standing in his place. His efforts failed, Ziara did not seem to want Brian back, even Zaira was reluctant to be touched by the man.

As always understood, Andre left his friend there until he completely drained all his tears that spilled for Zaira tonight.

...*****...

Zaira curled up in the room, her body starting to feel hot because of the rain last night.

"Mama, come on ma". Yara pulled Zaira's hand from the bed.

"Mbok, please take Yara to P**laygroup, yes. I'm a little feverish." Zaira's voice raspy, Mbok Inah directly came to his room.

"Do I want to call the doctor, Non?"

"No need, Mbok. Such a thing can still handle itself." He then waved to Yara.

Zaira lay down again to her room, she was sleepy due to the reaction of the medicine she had been taking.

His phone vibrated several times, Zaira did not hear because she was already fast asleep.

Elsewhere, Brian walked around and called Zaira. Yeah, the number and address he got from Andre last night. It seems that Andre felt sorry for him to give it so that Brian got an answer that made him completely withdraw from Zaira.

Andre is a little annoyed with Brian's behavior that began to act, even though Zaira has struggled to rebuild herself after the marriage ended. Then without being asked, Brian approached Zaira again even though Andre himself had often told him on the phone, if he was present at his wedding, Brian had to be ordinary with Zaira.

At first, Brian did. Meet and greet as usual, but after seeing Zaira, his heart beats again. The feeling he had been enduring all this time reappeared so that he himself could not hold it anymore.

Brian wanted to talk again, there was still a lot he wanted to say, he wanted Zaira to know what she felt during her time.

Brian picked up the jeket, Zaira never picked up the phone. He plans to go to the hospital to see her.

Arriving there, Brian finds Zaira absent due to illness. He quickly headed for the address Andre had given him.

He rang the bell a few times until it was opened.

Zaira was surprised to see who was in front of her.

Brian stood with a worried face, looking at Zaira as if she was in a deep pain.

Zaira closed the door, but quickly Brian's feet blocked and stepped forward into the house.

"What else is it?" He strangled Brian.

Brian lowered his head, he knew what he was doing might make Zaira even less fond of him.

"I'm sorry, Ra."

"Good, Mom! You've said that word over and over again and I've forgiven you for so long."

"But you don't want to see me".

Zaira shook her head, not believing what she was facing right now. "I forgive you but that doesn't mean to take you back, mas.Please respect my decision."

"I'm having a hard time doing that, I have a hard time appreciating that decision." He said and saw Zaira's pale face.

Brian stepped forward, "Zaira, are you sick? I'll take you to.."

Zaira retreated by codifying her hand so Brian would stop.

"Enough. I can take care of myself. Now go home, I don't need you here." He said in a soft tone, hoping Brian understood.

Brian was silent for a moment, his heart was heavy to go. But she knew Zaira well, the woman would really get angry as her tone started to lower.

"Okay, I'll go. But I'll keep trying to get you to take me back".

Zaira immediately pushed Brian's body and closed the door, locking it so Brian could not get in.

She leaned her body behind the door, shedding her tears again. Brian made it even more crowded, even bringing up another bad memory in his memory a few years ago.

While Brian was still at the door, he had not moved from his place.

Zaira went into her room, before long her phone shook. He read the message from the new number, he said,

'Zaira, if you need anything or anything, you can tell me, yeah.'

Zaira throws her phone into bed, without being told she already knows it's Brian. The fucking guy who's now starting to bother him.
