The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 76 - Unburdening

“This is the best road I have ever walked,” Alfa said after removing her mask, while stretching her gaze from the right to the left, admiring every inch of the sight captured by her eyes. He and Tiara are on the edge of a main road that has a large sidewalk with supporting buildings like a rest area. It seems, the local government has deliberately made it a stopover for motorists. In addition to the right location point, the place has a beautiful natural panorama. The wide road is located on the edge of the cliff, so people who are standing next to the road will feel as if they are at the top of a mountain with a stretch of scenery that stretches far down, spread out to all directions.

The two lovebirds tightened their hands on each other's bodies. Dispelling the cold air constantly trying to break through the thick fabric of the jacket mercilessly. Tiara even wore a beanie hat and continued to put a mask on her face. His costume was really like someone who was in the winter, but they were just standing next to a mountain road.

Alfa's right. The real painting that was plastered in front of them right now was indeed truly beautiful. Displays the landscape of terracing rice fields and small streets passed by motorized vehicles passing by. There is also a small hill that stands out in the middle, where the green shoots are covered by thin clouds.

Tiara satisfied the eye gaze at anything that could be touched by her pupils. Capture it, then record it in memory, that they had been a witness to the beauty of the earth created by God that turned out to be so charming. It cools the net of anyone who looks.

The morning rose by a quarter of an hour when the shining sun began to show its power to pierce the skin. Makes the surface feel hot, although the air that blows has not warmed.

“Open your mask, darling,” command Alfa with her sweet smile. Tiara averted her gaze for a moment, staring at Alfa who was currently facing her body.

Worriedly, the woman finally lowered the mask down to the neck, following Alfa's decree which was somehow meant for. The man then embraces Tiara's shoulders, tightens the body and returns to face forward. “Is there still something in your heart? What makes it so hard to breathe? Because if I pay attention, you can already gradually open the curtain reluctantly you to re-interact with the outside world,” asked the man with a little head down, he said, glanced at his wife who was still looking ahead.

Tiara frowned and glared. Trying to probe deeper into him, looking for something that did not comfort him until this time, but, he did feel more relieved than before. Yep. As the days passed, the time that rolled so fast it managed to slowly escape from the tormenting entanglement of anxiety, anxiety and endless fear that made it seem as if it was confined within his blackened soul.

He did not understand, for sure, he still felt hopeless and did not want to create new hope in the same. “I don't know,” answered. “I just ... I just want to live my days lightly without burden. I ... I'm afraid to hope. I'm afraid if I fall back in love with something I'm not sure I will have, then heartbroken,” fretting while taking a deep breath.

“I was so.” Alfa smiled wryly. “You want to know how to relieve your feelings?” Ask who once again got a strange look from Tiara. Doubtful, the woman nodded her head.

“Like this.” The man let go of his arms and thrust both hands in front of his mouth. All of a sudden, Alfa let out a long air and released it in the form of a loud shout that made Tiara so surprised. The woman widened her eyes to see her husband's unusual behavior. The sound of the shrill spread in various directions, before it disappeared in the wind.

Alfa panted and looked towards Tiara who was still stunned in place. “Do it. Release all the burdens that are on you. Your heart needs it to make you feel more relieved and calm,”.

The woman folded her lips. Feeling doubt over what she will do, before finally, the woman also raised her hands to the front of her mouth, closed her eyes and screamed as much as possible until her shrill voice sounded. Tiara repeated her screams three times. At the end of her screams, the woman wept bitterly, shedding all the muddle of taste that began to fade from the chest. Alfa smiled haru with her two teary eyes, tightly hugging Tiara who was scattering towards her.

“It's up.” Alfa said that along with his car that stopped at the parking lot of a large building where the entire front of the building was a glass wall. The man went down first and walked around, opening the door for his wife. “Let's go in,” take her after Tiara gets out of the car.

The two walked in tandem into the magnificent building greeted by several well-dressed men. “Have been awaited in the upper room,” said one of the employees who drove them, ahead of the step. Alfa just assented with a nod of the head then walked casually following the employee who was doing his job.

Tiara who was still scanning in her wishful thinking smiled for a moment to the entire man who was in that place, and then he realized that all the people in that place were Alfa's colleagues in the Blueict Company. Jeez, why did Tiara become easily forgotten just by their slightly different looks.

“Tiara.” The voice of a woman who sounded familiar in her hearing made the woman turn her head and her two beads immediately rubbed with the sapphire blue eyes of Karina who was walking towards her. The woman of plump stature with hot pants and khaki-colored cardigan smiled warmly and waved her hand at Alfa's wife.

“Fifteen minutes we are ready Rin,” exclaimed Brian amid laughter and the jokes of the photographers.

“OK,” said he looked away for a moment and looked at Tiara again.

“Come, we'll talk somewhere else.” Karina took Tiara by the hand and held her to another room that looked spacious with a set of photographic equipment that was ready in place.the woman dragged the lucia bar stool that was in the corner of the glass wall. Allow Tiara to sit down and sit in one of her chairs.

“How are you? It's been a long time since we've met ya, you look more and more beautiful,” praise Karina who continues to look at the woman in front of him with a smile, even though in her heart, she really wants to hug Tiara. He did not expect, the pregnancy of Alfa's wife will end dramatically. However, he also knew himself not to show his sympathy which would actually make the woman remember his sadness.

“I ... well,” he said hesitantly. His heart suddenly filled, reunited with Karina in her present state that she had never expected. Recalling their successful plan is precisely because Tiara lost her baby. Helmia has returned well to her now, but she has lost her future daughter. Ah, that woman doesn't know any more, what's really good for her. The arrival and departure of those closest to him that he loved so much at the same time were so shocking and soul-shaking.

Tiara rubbed her nose to distract her mind. “You how? Looks like your photoshoot is getting smoother huh,” asked with the same warm smile.

Karina looked straight ahead and exhaled. “This was my last photo shoot Tiara. I decided to quit the modeling world and get married.” The woman who was still wearing the beanie hat turned her head, hearing the shock of Karina's words. “You should come yes at my wedding later, I will be disappointed if you do not see you,” rayunya.

Alfa's wife was stunned. Happy to hear of Karina's marriage, but also sad that she has decided to end her career. “Iya .. for sure, surely I will come,” he said confidently.

The sound of the door opening with many footsteps entering the room made the two women focus on those who came. Alfa smiled and Karina moved from her seat, saying goodbye. “Sorry Tiara. I have to do my job first,” he said. Tiara nodded and stood up to her husband, who was holding a large camera in his hand.

Alfa stood behind Tiara, hugging and kissing his wife's cheek for a moment, before the man turned the camera viewer in his hand on Tiara. Makes the woman want to not want to hold the camera that is in front of her eyes. Friends of the photographer and Karina who was already in that position immediately created a white light flash thanks to the flash of the shooting tool.

“Try,” said Alfa on the sidelines and passed her partner who was busy with his activities. Teach Tiara to take interesting angles from their activities that afternoon and tinker with her camera with various settings. Tiara smiled in satisfaction and occasionally shifted her body to be able to capture the fitting picture. They laugh when sometimes, there are photos that look funny and show strange poses from Alfa colleagues who are taking pictures.

Alfa gave thanks many times in her heart, finding Tiara laughing was her own happiness.
