Beautiful Affair
BA #63 - No Beautiful Infidelity

Doctors Amberley and Viona take Alira and her two children to the graves of Daniel and Ryan.

Alira could not stem her tears, she could only silence while wiping her husband's headstone.

Unlike the case with the two children Alira who seem to have been accustomed to come to the tomb of their father and uncle.

Leo and Leon laid flowers on the graves, and they were chattering, telling about the days they spent, promising to look after their mother.

"We're both real men, Papa. We'll take care of Mama" Leon said.

"We? I guess it's just me, you're always busy with games" Leo said coldly.

"I play games in my spare time" Reply Leon.

"All your time is free" said Leo, who managed to make Alira laugh again.

While Viona and Doctor Amberley were just watching them from a distance.

During these 6 years, Alira did seem happy, of course with his delusion. It was in Viona's mind to let it go because then Alira remained happy, but then Viona remembered Leon and Leo.

Viona is afraid that her mental state will affect Leon and Leo, although so far, everything is still fine. Leon and Leo knew that their father was dead, and the two children also knew that their mother was hallucinating a lot.

"Mama's two children are real men" Alira said, embracing her two children. "Now, let's say goodbye to Papa and Om Ryan, we have to go home, it's late" he continued.

"We go home first, Papa, Om." cried the two children together.

Alira takes the two children to Viona's car, Alira hugs Viona tightly and thanks her.

"Why, Al? Feel better?" Doctor Amberley and Alira asked with a smile.

"Thank you" said Alira, who hugged Amberley.

"Sama-sama, Alira," the doctor replied, then he took out a medicine bottle and gave it to Alira. "Please, for Leon, Leo, Daniel and Ryan." Alira stared at the medicine for a moment then she accepted it.

Afterwards, Alira takes Leon and Leo into their car while Viona leaves with Doctor Amberley.

"Do you think Alira will heal this time?" Ask Doctor Amberley on Viona.

"I'm not sure, but whatever Alira's decision after this, I won't bother her anymore, as long as it's okay for Leon and Leo."

"Why do you love Leon and Leo so much, Viona? They're not Ryan's kids, they're Daniel's kids." Viona smiled faintly at the question that had been asked by anyone to her.

"I love Ryan, while Ryan loves Alira so much, and I know, if Ryan lives, he'll take care of Leo and Leon like I keep them. Ryan will love his two nieces and never know, he will never be given a child. And one more thing, Leo reminds me of Ryan, they both love to paint."

"That's ironic," murmured Doctor Amberley.

"When are you going to be like this? You should still be a mother even if you're not the mother of Ryan's children."

"I don't know, I still can't think of anyone else but Ryan."

"You're as crazy as Alira."

Viona just chuckles and he justifies that, the difference is only one, Viona is not hallucinating.

.........

While in Alira's car, she drove quietly and occasionally she glanced at her two children sitting in the back, the two children were babbling nonstop.

"You feel better?" Alira immediately turned her head when she heard the voice of her husband, she smiled and nodded, then Alira took the medicine given by Doctor Amberley and threw it away. "Why was he dumped? You need it, honey." Daniel said with a clean voice.

"You need it, Alira," Ryan continued from behind. Alira glanced at her sister-in-law from the rearview mirror.

"If I take that medicine, I won't be able to see you two anymore" Alira said, leading Leon and Leo to look directly at her mother.

"Ma.." cried Leon.

"Is there any more Papa?" ask Leo.

Alira only answered him with a faint smile. "Okay, Mama. As long as you're happy" Leon said at last.

Alira looked at her husband who was now stroking Alira's cheeks gently.

"We're always here, always."

"I know" said Alira and she immediately returned to tears but Daniel wiped them away.

"I'm sorry, I should have known, there's no beautiful affair, Daniel. I'm sorry, honey. I should have been a little more patient in our marriage."

"I know, there's no beautiful affair. We have to pay a lot of money, but it's not just your fault, honey. It's not...."

"Stop remembering the past, Al," Ryan continued. "Focus on Leon and Leo. Look at! they've had enough to replace us, haven't they?"

"No one can replace you."

Leon and Leo could only shake their heads to see their mother talking to herself.

At first they are scared, but after Viona explains what happened, they understand and they promise to take care of their mother at any time.
