Joseph sat alone in the corner of his room with a blank look. Today is one of the many stressful days at work, but this time, the anxiety is not just caused by work. Sarah's message has left her feeling trapped in a variety of considerations and inner conflicts. He had to balance his duties as a husband and father with his feelings for Sarah.
When a short message from Sarah appeared on her phone screen, her chest was claustrophobic by the panic. He wanted to know immediately what had happened to Sarah, but he had to be careful that Aminah was not suspicious. He froze for a moment, not knowing what to do. Finally, trembling, he replied to the message.
Joseph: "I'm sorry, Sarah, I panicked earlier. What the hell's going on? How are you feeling now? I'm so worried."
Joseph's worry and confusion reflected him in every word he sent. Even in short messages, the confusion is very real. Sarah responds with deep understanding, and though she is relieved that she is not angry, she still feels very worried about Sarah's condition.
Sarah: "I understand, Joseph. I have a high fever and I don't feel well. It's okay, you're not wrong. I just want you to know."
Sarah's positive response gave Joseph a bit of calm, though his worries still surrounded him. When knowing Sarah's condition, there is a strong desire in her to help him.
Joseph: "It is not good if you are alone. Can I help you, take you to the doctor?"
Joseph felt that this was the time he had to act and take care of Sarah. Although, with each offer of his help, he felt a deep inner conflict. She could not help but feel fixated in the midst of her feelings for Sarah and her obligations as a husband.
Sarah: "Thank you, but don't worry. I already have someone taking care of me. Just get some rest and don't worry about me."
Sarah tries to convince Joseph that she is fine and is getting treatment. However, in addition to worrying about Sarah's health, there is also uncertainty about their relationship that continues to burden Joseph's mind.
Joseph: "But I worry about you, Sarah. I want to know that you're okay. Please, if you need anything, let me know."
Joseph desperately wanted to feel able to protect and care for Sarah, but the uncertainty in his heart made him doubtful. There is no clear way out, and the future of her relationship with Sarah is becoming increasingly blurred.
Sarah: "Thank you for your concern, Joseph. I'll let you know if I need anything. Now, think about our relationship. We should talk later."
Sarah gives a signal that it's time to talk about their relationship. This was a very complex and emotional moment for Joseph. How could he face this inevitable conflict?
Joseph: "Sure, Sarah. It's not the time, but we'll talk about everything later. Rest and hopefully get well soon."

Hana, the young child, grew up with a cheerful and innocent personality. Amidst the increasingly tapering conflict between her parents, she begins to show an extraordinary talent in painting. Aminah saw her for the first time as Hana sat at the dinner table with a pile of paper and painted tools in front of her.
When Aminah saw the first picture Hana made, she could hardly believe it. Although still plain and not too neat, Hana has managed to create a stunning image. The details and expressions shown by Hana in her paintings are something extraordinary for her very young age.
Aminah looked at Hana with admiration and pride. This painting talent was something entirely new to him. Hana looked so engrossed and excited as she drew, and her mother could only look at her with a full day. Hana's paintings begin to fill the walls of their rooms, creating a colorful atmosphere and beauty in a grieving home.
Hana's natural ability to paint begins to bring happiness in the midst of a family that is experiencing problems. Aminah felt inspired by her daughter's talent and began spending more time with Hana, supporting her in her talent development. Hana's paintings also served as a reminder to Aminah of the beauty that remains in life, even in the midst of adversity.
Hana is the light in their dark family, and her painting talent has given them a reason to smile despite their feelings being swayed by the ongoing conflict.
Hana, who was still continuing her painting, was sitting seriously and concentrating on the painting she was working on. Aminah, his mother, approached him gently and asked, "Darling, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Aminah smiled proudly at the grand ideals of her daughter. She feels moved by Hana's determination and strong spirit, especially in the face of the complicated situation her family is facing.
"What are you drawing here, baby?" aminah asked while pointing to the painting that was being done by Hana.
Hana enthusiastically explained the concept of the painting, depicting nature and the bright colors she imagined. He told the story behind each stroke of his brush vigorously, and the longer it took, Aminah became convinced that her son really had extraordinary talent.
After the painting was done by Hana, now
Aminah asked Hana to draw a painting depicting both her parents and herself in the middle. Hana excitedly took the canvas and started painting. He described his mother and father with great affection.
The colors used by Hana represent the feelings and emotions that are interconnected between them. In the painting, Hana emphasizes family unity.
Aminah felt mixed when she saw the painting produced by Hana. The painting shows the beauty as well as the complexity of the feelings in his family. She kissed Hana on the forehead, then hugged her tightly, trying not to show the sad feeling hidden in her heart.
"Hana, your painting is such an impressive work of art" said Aminah affectionately. "It's more than just a picture. It's an expression of your feelings, baby. Mom is so proud of you."
Hana smiled proudly, exuding happiness. She was happy to make her mother happy despite the tension in her family. Wiping Aminah's tears gently, Hana asked the children's innocence, "Mamah, why are you crying?"
Aminah tried to explain tenderly, "Mama cried because she was very, very happy to see your painting, dear. And mommy also feels lucky to have you as a child."
Aminah felt that this was the right time to try to restore relations with Joseph through Hannah. In a warm light, he approached Hana and said, "Honey, why don't you show this beautiful painting to papah? He'll be happy to see it."
Hana nodded and cheerfully stepped towards the door of the room. He opened slowly and saw his father sitting on the bed contemplating something. Eagerly, he approached his father and showed him his painting.
"She, look at the family painting I made!" hana said excitedly, holding a picture of the painting in front of her father.
Joseph, who was in daydreams, was surprised and turned to look at the painting held by Hannah. Along with his slow gaze, his facial expression turned into a mixture of confusion and haru. He realized that the painting featured himself, Aminah, and Hana together.
"Cool, Hana. You are very good at painting" Yusuf said with a small smile. "Thank you, baby. I'm proud of you."
Aminah, who had been peering out the door, was slightly relieved to see Joseph's positive reaction to Hana's painting. Perhaps this could be the first step towards peace in her shaken family.
In a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Hana led her father to the living room. Aminah remained there, busy arranging everything for Hana. When they arrived, Hana excitedly sat down in front of the canvas and began the painting process.
Joseph and Aminah sat on the sofa, a little further away from each other. They still felt the tension from the previous conflict, but due to Hana's presence, they tried to escape from the tense atmosphere.
Hana started painting with great passion. He explained every detail of the painting he worked on to his father and mother. "Later I will add bright colors here, and look at this, I will make the papah and mamah more radiant in this painting."
Yusuf tried to smile and praise Hana's efforts, "It was really amazing, baby. You have great talent." While Aminah responded, "Yes, Hana, you are really smart and talented in painting. Mama's proud of you."
As they engaged in a light conversation about Hana's painting, the tension slowly began to subside. They both felt that right now, they were focusing on Hana's happiness, and it helped them ease the little discomfort that existed.
