Happiness is only pseudo giving joy like sunshine. Like a balloon that erupts leaving only emptiness and emptiness.
Alina realized that all this time had been overwhelmed by the joy of housekeeping. Without realizing it, there was still a storm waiting for him there.
Tears still flowed without a word being said. Like an undead, Alina sat pensively still staring blankly.
Her heart was so sick and hurt watching the man she loved so much being with another woman. Zanna, the pianist can already take Zaidan to his side.
Like an arrow shot on target, his chest hurt and hurt. Slowly Alina turned her head back to see the wedding frame still falling apart.
He laughed grimly trying to get rid of the chaos inside. The poignant, painful, excruciating pain made him grip as hard as the left chest.
His heart felt torn to shreds, squeezed with all his might mercilessly. The pain of the past also contributes to adding to the burden, making tears not stop spilling.
"Aarrrgghh!" Alina screamed out loud as she channeled the stuffy.
However, this even invited the attention of other residents. Raihan who had just woken up was stunned and next to her, Zinia cried loudly in surprise at the voice of the mother.
Without heeding her little sister, Raihan rushed out of the room. He searches for Alina's whereabouts and is shocked to find her sitting on the floor with both hands covered in her face.
"Ma-Mamma?" Call Raihan surprise the owner of the name.
Alina regained her senses and immediately stopped the crying. In a hurry he rubbed his wet face and looked back. He forced a smile with both eyes reddened.
The scene immediately shook Raihan's feelings. His first son was very sensitive to what happened to Alina.
He ran up to his mother and cupped her blushing cheeks quickly. "What's going on? Why is Mom crying like this?" ask Raihan.
Alina smiled weakly and returned the gaze of the baby. "Your mama is fine. Can ... can you go to Azam's father's house today? Em, or to Grandma Moana's? Can you be a good sister and take care of Zinia?" Without saying anything else Raihan nodded in response to the mother's request.
Alina immediately hugged Raihan and rubbed her narrow back slowly. He was still trying to hold back the crying that was still encircling himself.
Raihan returned his mother's embrace without making a sound. He knew at this moment Alina just wanted to be alone without getting many questions.
About an hour and a half later, after Alina called Calvin, her sister-in-law came. He was surprised when he found the condition of his brother-in-law looked weak and lethargic.
"Mr? Is it okay?" calvin asked after holding Zinia.
Alina developed a smile full of falsehood. "I'm picking them up, Dad. In the bag there is food for Raihan and formula milk for Zinia. If the baby's fussy call me right away," she said without heeding Calvin's question.
The man who was younger by a year than him only nodded obediently. He knew and realized something had happened. However, he reluctantly asked her for fear of hurting Alina's feelings any further.
"Alright, I took them to the house of mama," he explained.
After Calvin was accepted into the Zulfan family, he lived with Moana and Farraz. They thought of him as a real child and treated him well, while Calvin's biological mother had to be in the hospital as her condition worsened.
Alina nodded and locked her mouth tightly. Seeing that, Calvin hurried to take Raihan and walked out.
"Then we go, honey, say goodbye to Mamah" Calvin told Raihan.
"Em, wa'alaikumsalam."
Not long after, the figure of the three disappeared in view. The sound of a closed voice echoed resuscitating him to reality again.
Alina turned around to find the wedding frame still in disarray. With mixed feelings he cleansed it.
The glass fragment immediately injured the palm to bleed. Alina stared at the torn wound that was draining the thick red liquid behind it.
"This injury is not as painful as my heart. Did you fall down just now to tell me that they slept together? What does it mean that this marriage can no longer be maintained?" he said he was raving alone.
The pain still lingered in the chest draining back the endless tears. Alina cried and cried at being accompanied by drops of blood that gave another color on the marble.
...***...
"So, what really happened? Why did Mom look so fucked up?" asked Calvin who was sitting side by side in the car with Raihan while holding Zinia.
The driver who was sitting in front was staring at the rearview mirror. He tried to focus himself and did not want to disturb the conversation of his masters.
"I don't know either, Om. I just woke up and heard Mom screaming. When I saw her, she was already crying. Om, has something happened? Why are you crying like that? Does this have anything to do with dad?" ask Raihan streak.
Calvin was surprised to not believe and cleared his throat slowly to neutralize nervousness. "Maybe you're just tired. You don't have to think about it, Dad. Don't worry mama's gonna be okay." Raihan just nodded and locked his mouth tightly.
Calvin secretly contacted his cousin's brother, but was not answered. He kept trying many times, but still not a single call was lifted.
"What's really going on? Why didn't Zaidan pick up my call?" ask in his mind.
Amidst the confusion and worry that struck, suddenly his phone rang. In a hurry Calvin saw and found the number of the pianist.
Just as his thumb was sending a message in, he felt his heart thump. He could not believe the photos sent to him.
"How, I managed to get your brother, right? don't expect you to threaten me not to approach her again. I don't want to keep getting stuck with you."
The handle on the phone tightened, Calvin did not expect that the woman was already playing behind him. During this time he always noticed the pianist so as not to disturb the household of his cousin sister.
Since then, he has felt guilty about having been in contact with her twice. Calvin hopes to be responsible for his actions, but Zanna refuses and considers it all an accident.
However, now Calvin let down and let the woman go too far. He doesn't believe Zanna is still playing behind him.
"The woman .. So, does Alina know about this? Astaghfirullah, how is this? Is it true that Zaidan is related to this snake woman? Oh my God, how now?" He continues to struggle with his own mind.
He was surprised not to play watching a photo showing Zanna lying down while smiling widely. Next to the woman was a man, who was none other than her own cousin's brother, Zaidan.
They lay together with only a sheet of blankets covering the bodies of the two. Calvin's mind wandered everywhere.
...Seriate......
