Rita shook her head at Rival's attitude. Just this time Rival hallucinations like this. Rita holds Rival's hand. Then pull Rival to sit in a long chair. Rival who can not say anything, just according to what Rita said.

"Rival, you follow what I say.." Rita. Rival was silent.

"Now close your eyes.. Then tell me I'm okay.." Rita gave orders. Rival followed what Rita said.

"And you try to relax, forget everything that happened. Forget everything that is a burden on your mind. Clear your mind now.." Rita.

Rival was enjoying the meditation directed by Rita. Rita also gave instructions again to Rival.

"Once you feel enough, now try to take a deep breath, then exhale slowly.. " Said Rita. Rival followed Lisa's advice. Rival opened his eyes slowly.

"How does it feel? It's better, right?" Ask Rita. Rival also nodded. And Rival did not expect, that it could be this calm. Rita asks Rival to tell her what happened just now.

"Rival, now you're telling me. Why are you? Why are you suddenly hugging someone's wife?" Ask Rita. Rival did not answer Rita's question. I just feel embarrassed.

"Jawab is nothing Rival.who knows I can help you.." Rita. Rival also looked at Rita's face fixedly. And Rival saw sincerity on his face. Rival finally told me.

"So, I saw a man who looked a lot like my deceased lover. And it really is like real. He's right in front of me. Then I tried to chase him. And when I managed to catch up to him, I immediately hugged him. But, why did he suddenly turn into someone else?" Rival. Rita thinks that Rival is hallucinating.

"Rival, are you being embarrassed?" Rita.

"No.. I don't care, it's really Namira.. And I'm not lying. You believe me, right?" Rival said while holding both hands of Rita. Rita was surprised when both hands were held by Rival. And Rita said to Rival.

"Rival, now try to realize, If indeed he is Namira..Why do you hug, he turned into someone else?" Rita.

"But actually Rita.. I actually saw Namira earlier, but I don't know why she turned into someone else.." Rival kept his opinion.

"Yes.. I believe in you.. We're home now, yeah.." Take Rita. Rival followed Lisa's advice. He went home with Rita. Rita feels lighter today her work. Because Rival today according to what Rita said. And Rival also did not dispute what was suggested by Rita.

Arriving at Rival's house, Marta was confused why Rival became so quiet like that. Martha asked what had happened to Rival.

"Rival...why are you, son?" Ask Marta. Rival did not answer his mother's words. Rival went straight into the room regardless of his mother's words. Marta only saw Rival walking towards her room.

"Rone.. Rival why? What happened to him?" Ask Marta.

"Rival hallucinated again aunt. earlier, Rival had hugged the wife of people. so Rival was stabbed deh, her face was the same as her husband.." Rita. Marta was shocked when she heard such a Rival. It was as if I did not believe what Rita had said.

"Why is that Rita?" Ask Marta in wonder.

"Where did you guys end up? Why can Rival hug someone's wife..?" Ask Marta.

"Sorry aunt. This is indeed my fault. earlier I took Rival to the nearest garden aunt.. Intention I invite him, so that Rival is not saturated.I mean that Rival is not always thinking about Namira.. But now Rival has calmed down.just he's not lazy to talk.maybe embarrassed or how I don't understand.." Rita.

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

Every day Rita always accompanied Rival. Rita always gives spirit and calm to Rival. And slowly, Rival began to feel comfortable with Rita. Rival, indeed, has not been able to forget Namira. But, at least the temperament attitude has begun to disappear slowly. Rival finally asked Rita nicely.

"Rone.. Can I ask you something?" Ask Rival.

"Ask what Rival?" Ask Rita.

"What exactly is your purpose here?" Ask Rival.

"My Purpose?" Rita. Rita is confused to answer Rival's question. But, if he answered what Rival really feared even worse thought. Eventually, he had to lie.

"I don't have any Rival purpose.. I'm just here with my parents.. And aunt Marta also wants me to stay here. Because according to aunt Marta homework, can be helped. while Nadia, college and rarely at home too right.." Rita.

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

"Thank you, Rita, you've been patient with Rival's attitude.. Aunty is very grateful to you, son.." Marta.

"Yes, same aunt.. I'm, glad I could help auntie.." Rita.

"You are indeed great Rita. proof now Rival's brother has improved, yes, although not completely. but there is not much progress.. And, lately I have noticed. Brother Rival no longer mention Namira.." Nadia said.

"Well, if it's not because I'm Nadia, it's because Rival himself.." Rita said low.

"Yes, don't be so humble.." Nadia.

"Oh yes.. I'm going to go to the room first, the cooking is done.. I'm going to take a bath first, aunt. because it's hot.." Rita.

"Yes Rita. please. thanks yes.you have bothered to masakin for our family.." Marta.

"Sama-sama.. I don't feel repotinated.." Rita. Then, Rita went to her room to clean up.

"Ma.. Is it certain that this plan will work?" Ask Nadia.

"Revidently Nadia.mama was indeed willing to match Rival with Rita. so that Rival was quick to forget Namira.so mama told Rita to approach Rival.." Marta.

They were not aware that their conversation was heard by Rival. And Rival was very disappointed with the plan. Rival felt lied to all along.
