My Lovely MUA
16.
That afternoon, the sky was very dark. Soon, it will rain. Briana was sitting in a cafe not far from her home. One week later, Nevan and Isyana's wedding will take place. Of course, Aisha who doubles as MUA Isyana and Xaquil's extended family. His heart grew even more claustrophobic as he remembered it.
“Self ?” the heavy and hoarse voice managed to wake Briana's daydream.
His face raised automatically looking towards the source of the sound. Oh the prince of his savior, Reno Adelio.
“Um, i-iya Brother. Another afternoon stroll trus stop by here.”
“Gue can sit here no?”
Briana nodded. Let Reno sit in her front seat. Face to face.
After a few seconds they looked at each other, Reno exhaled a long breath starting her conversation with the glasses girl. “Sorry, I was following you, Bri.”
Briana smiled faintly. “I-iya, I want to air seger. Bosen in office keep.”
“How are you, lo ?”
“Good.” Briana replied briefly. Occasionally while sipping his warm drink.
The rain is starting to fall out there. The sound of lightning was heard striking loudly. Briana glimmered and narrowed her eyes.
“Lo likes rain not ?” ask Reno. His back he leaned against the chair, looking at the rain from inside the glass window of the cafe. While waiting for an answer to his absurd question to Briana. Understandably, Reno himself is also confused about what to talk to Briana about.
Silent atmosphere. Briana then hid her thin smile when Reno's face did not look at her. “Like. I used to play in the rain. Under that rain, I can hide my tears that come out.”
Reno's eyes narrowed, checking the corner of Briana's eyes. Afraid that the girl suddenly cried. “What is your mood like this afternoon ?”
The question automatically slid from Reno's mouth. “So-sorry is not what I mean.”
Briana laughed loudly. “Ng-no, sis. I'm fine with.”
He finished the rest of his drink and said goodbye to go home. Reno quickly catches Briana's extremely hot wrist. “Briana, you sick ?”
He looked deeply at Briana's reddened face. Reno's hand he put on Briana's forehead, her body temperature was very hot. Then he took the jacket that he put on the chair he used to sit. He put it on Briana's body. The rain has not yet stopped. And Briana looked cold, her lips dry, her face suddenly pale.
“Sit down first, don't go home alone. I anterin ya.”
Briana nodded weakly. Suddenly his body was carefree, his eyes were hot as if they were burning.
...----------------...
Briana was shivering in the cold, her body was feverish. His body felt torn apart. His eyes closed while deliriously small. Calling Nevan's name. How sad.
Aisha stroked her daughter's forehead gently and compressed it. The woman's eyes were already foggy. Aisha then thought that what made Briana suffer long ago was Nevan. He had broken the heart of his beloved daughter many times.
Moments later we heard footsteps from below sounding towards Briana's room. Steven was in a hurry to see his daughter.
“Mah, we take it to the hospital!”
Aisha nodded in agreement. Soon he was getting ready to bring Briana. Steven was holding Briana in the car.
“Nona Briana got typhus, Sir, Mom. You will be hospitalized for the next 2-4 days. Thank you,” said the doctor while bowing his head respectfully and leaving.
Aisha shakes her shoulders on the sofa in Briana's room. Narrowing his forehead slowly tried to withstand the tightness in his chest. Steven let out a long sigh and sat down next to his wife.
“Do not go to the young man's wedding and—”
Aisha looked at the face of her husband. Steven's never spoken this seriously before. Perhaps, her husband was fed up of seeing his daughter always like this. Twice let down by that jerk.
“And cancel all your jobs that have to do with Mecca or his son that jerk !” tell Steven to be angry. Aisha closed her eyes for a moment. His gaze then turned to the frail body of his daughter lying weakly on the bed. Briana had been trying hard all along when Nevan left. However, when Nevan returns, Briana recalls.
“You haven't thought of Briana all this time ?!” ask Steven a little emotion. However, his tone he tried to press and softly afraid if Briana heard their quarrel.
Aisha is picking up her face now. “I, have thought about this for a long time. And, tomorrow I'm going to Mecca's house to cancel it.”
“Good! Your brain should have thought that way. You've always accepted Mecca, but he was your first client. But, that kid.. Haishhh !” Steven stood up and sat next to his daughter's bed. She rubbed the small hand she had held tightly since childhood while spending time together. He swore he would never accept Nevan coming for the third time in Briana's life. When that happens, he won't hesitate to kill the jerk with both hands.
...----------------...
“Cancel suddenly like this ? Aisha, 5 more days the wedding will be held. And you came suddenly to cancel this job ?” Mecca grunted annoyedly. It's not usual for Aisha to behave herself like this. The first time in her life, an Aisha dares to Mecca.
“Sa-I know that. But, I have contacted my other colleagues who are no less great than me. I guarantee you will never regret, Madam.” replied Aisha trying to set the record straight.
Mecca screeching. “Explain your real reason, don't beat around like that !”
Aisha was glued, staring down. Her lips feel stiff. It's hard to explain the truth. She should work and be professional, but she is also a mother who does not want to see her son repeatedly hurt by her own prospective clients. Who can hold it ? Aisha tries to endure her pain when she is often asked to help Mecca to decorate her when there is an event. The woman tried to put aside her pain, just for the sake of a professionalism. However, now what's the point of that professionalism if it ends up just piling up the pain that gets deeper.
“I-it's because of your son, Madam. You know, a few years ago Briana and Nevan were in a relationship. Maybe Madam already knows, and is trying to hide your disappointment towards Nevan and also my daughter. I know my daughter doesn't deserve to be with Nevan. However, your son repeatedly made Briana destroyed.”
“Six years ago, Briana almost died and was in a coma for days because of your son. Briana tries to treat her hard-earned physical and psychic wounds. Then, after that Nevan came back and hurt my daughter back. Up to now, dia—”
Slightly pausing, Aisha tried hard and held back her tears that had shot out.
“Dia why ?” tanya Mecca raised her eyebrows one. And fold his hands in front of his chest.
“She's in the hospital again, because her physique is weak. Sa-I know Briana still can't forget Nevan. So's Nevan. But, with the existence of this marriage makes Briana a little shock.”
“Ja-so you blame Nevan for all the events that befell your daughter?” Mecca glared sharply watching Aisha who was deathly pale.
“Then how should I say it ?” sahut Aisha with a raucous voice. He stayed down and grabbed the end of the sofa where he was sitting.
Mecca shut her mouth. Confused yourself. He never knew if Nevan and Briana's relationship would go that far. He thought the love affair in school would never continue again when they were both adults. Mecca never thought it that far. Apparently the assumption is wrong. How are you doing with Isyana ? Mecca promised her that the marriage would go the way she wanted.
“Then, I beg you, Madam. Because Briana was alone in the hospital. I apologize profusely by making a unilateral decision that ultimately harms the extended family Xaquil.”
Aisha lowered her head slightly, said her greetings and passed away. Mecca bengong's. Staring at Aisha's footsteps that increasingly disappeared from the sight of her eyes. He stared at the ceiling of his house, looking up while thinking about the behavior of his son.
“Have I heard Nevan's inner voice all this time ?” his question was glittering to himself.
