The Art of Seviyorum (I Love You)
18. Zara's Last Request.
***
Whether since when, the principles, vision and mission that have been embedded in Lisa's life is a mess? Since meeting Revan, his life has never been the same. All the principles he had built up all this time were simply destroyed. What does he know about love? Nothing, he only ever loved once in his life, a dozen years ago. Give her all the love and attention she has. He poured everything on the man. In the end, the man left her.
Lisa no longer wants to love, or just interpret the meaning of love. All she knew was that she felt like she didn't need love anymore. But, that day, a man came to see her, on a sunny morning, with a strapping body wrapped in a gray shirt, suddenly she knelt before him, saying the impossible thing called love. Lisa could hardly believe it. However, the man said it over and over again, hugging her tightly in fear of losing her.
"I don't understand ...," everything happened so fast. A marriage she never thought would happen, a husband's family who didn't. And also, he even lost his baby. Lisa doesn't understand why life is so cruel.
"Live happily ...." Lisa shook her head slowly, her tears flowing. How his best friend said that in his last moments. Lisa clasped Zara's hand firmly, looking into the eyes of her best friend who was beginning to glare, with a pale face.
"You, you're not going anywhere."
"I'm sorry .. I know everything, everything you've been through. I've made you lose your son ...." Zara said weakly. Who gave it to him? What Revan? Not likely. But who?
"Mazela ...."
"Take care of your husband, I ask him to love you." Zara closed her eyes, creeping before they could no longer open.
"Zara! Zara! Awake, sister!" Lisa panic. He could not lose his best friend. No more.
"Mazela ...." Revan ran and approached Zara. He was not allowed in by his wife. He was waiting outside.
"Maas ...." Revan pulled Lisa a little away when the doctor examined her. Lisa hugs Revan in tears, unable to see her best friend leave. Even in front of his eyes.
"Calm down, calm yourself." Revan rubbed Lisa's head with affection. His wife's body trembled violently, inexplicably in shock as Zara suddenly left. Or because of the conversation between his two wives. Revan doesn't know.
"We tried, sir, but as I said before. Advanced cervical cancer is no longer curable. Sorry," said the doctor. Lisa shook her head in Revan's arms. She doesn't know why Zara wouldn't let herself part with Revan.
"Fuckin' woman! What did you do to my daughter-in-law!" Lisa gets a pretty strong pull all of a sudden. Revan who was also unaware of Arzhu's whereabouts was shocked.
"Anne!" Revan immediately pulled Lisa to be behind his body, "don't touch her."
"How dare you say that, after he killed my son-in-law!"
"Anne! Please, this is not the time to blame anyone!" Revan hugged Lisa.
"Calm Maira, as long as I'm around. You'll be fine."
"Sound women don't know themselves! You should be ...."
"Anne!"
"Sorry Mom, you can't make a fuss here." Arzhu looked at Lisa sharply. Then immediately approached his favorite son-in-law.
"I'm sorry Anne, baby."

Lisa was sitting in a chair in the dining room. Look at some dishes to be served to guests who will do tahlil in the house. The sound of teaching is heard in the living room. Lisa did not come because she was unfortunate, of course, the effects of miscarriage. The doctor said it was natural, the possibility of bleeding would occur for a month. Like people coming to the moon. Lisa even had to take a blood-boosting supplement so she wouldn't bleed out.
"What meda?" Lisa was surprised, Revan was already standing not far in front of her.
"Not doing anything" Lisa replied sadly. Honestly, he wanted to help. But Revan banned it for quite a logical reason. 'You've just had surgery, what if the seams are open, ' and it's worth being aware of. Although it was two weeks after surgery, Lisa had to continue to maintain her health.
"I'm not hungry."
"At least, eat something. I don't want you to get sick." Lisa did not respond, but the woman stood up from her seat.
"I'm tired," that's all Lisa said. Revan told her, Lisa must be very depressed.
"I'll take you to your room."
"No need."
"Come on," stubborn. It's Revan's nature, Lisa doesn't want to bother, she'd better rest.
"You know, they're married." Revan turned his head as a noisy voice rang out in his ear.
"But Bu Zara is good and beautiful. But pity, her husband even cheated on her, even to the point of marrying again."
"Yes-yes, Bu Zara is, it's good, friendly and rarely angry. The ideal wife, unfortunately even in cheating."
"I don't know the shame of that woman who was his affair."
"It's no stranger anyway, snatch the husband of such a man."
"She should be ashamed, Ms. Zara to death, it must be because she was depressed." Revan doesn't know that many rumors are going around like that.
"True, I heard that the woman who became Mr. Revan's honey was Bu Zara's best friend."
"What time?"
"Truly yes, a very lowly woman."
"Maira ...."
"Let it go, I'm a regular." Revan flinched, what was the meaning of the word 'always. Is it possible for Lisa to experience something like this without her knowing?
"But they're outrageous."
"They're right." Lisa smile. Revan stared at him unblinkingly, those rarely smiling lips now displayed a smile. A smile of resignation that somehow made Revan piqued.
"What they say is not true."
"I took you from my best friend. What's worse than that."
"You are innocent. If you ask who is guilty. That's definitely me."
"That's it, I'm gonna take a break." Lisa enters his room and Revan. Revan sighed, following Lisa into the room.
"I'll take care in front, get some rest. Don't think too much about unnecessary things. If you need anything, call me." Revan helps Lisa lie down, covers her and kisses her on the forehead, closing her eyes.
"I'm sorry I made you like this, my humor."
