A Piece of Asa In A Taste
The Attitude of Reymond

Next day.

Bylla's condition has improved, he is also calmer, and began to accept the condition of his legs. He was happy when Reymond gave his support, the man was still gentle and warm, although now, his condition was full of flaws.

In addition to Reymond's support, Bylla was also comforted by the presence of Keyvand and his father. They just came in about an hour ago. Bylla was sitting on the bed with her back. He looked at the face of his father sitting next to him.

"Pa, why don't you come home?" asked Bylla with a soft face.

Kairi let out a long sigh, then she got up from her seat, and hugged Bylla tightly.

Her heart was sliced with pain, looking at Bylla's apprehensive condition. While in Paris there, one daughter is also in a coma. He fought between life and death against his illness.

"Father!" call Bylla slowly. He could feel his father's trembling body, and his arms growing tighter. What happened to his father, he was like carrying a very heavy burden.

"Pa!" call Bylla a second time.

Kairi had not answered, but now she let go of her embrace. He looked at his daughter fixedly, as if he wanted to explain everything through a glint of an eye.

"Pa, Papa why?" bylla asked while holding her father's arm.

"Bylla, forgive Papa and Mama who have been hiding everything from you. Now, it's time you knew the truth." Kairi began her conversation.

Bylla frowned, what did her father mean? Could it be that he is not the son of his parents? If only that were true, could he accept such a stifling reality?

Bylla bit her lips, while opening her eyes, she tried hard to hold the clear circles that had piled up there.

"Your mother can't come home, because she's accompanying Mika. Your sister's in the hospital, baby." Connect Kairi.

Bylla turned her gaze away, again Mika, she was already quite sick of hearing that name.

"How much pain Mika is, until Mama doesn't want to see me who almost lost her life. Was I nothing in Mama's heart, or perhaps my guess was true." Bylla in her heart.

"Bylla!" call Kairi, she knows her son is harboring disappointment.

"Actually, Mika had lupus, long ago. He doesn't want you to know him, because he doesn't want you to worry. Now that he's in critical condition, he's been in a coma for the past few days." Connect Kairi with a slow voice. It is obvious, if he is very depressed with the calamity that comes to test him.

"Lupus" said Bylla repeating her father's words.

Bylla stared fixedly at her father, hoping that everything she had said was not the truth. Bylla knew exactly what lupus was, and she felt devastated when she found out that her sister had the deadly disease.

"True, Mika had lupus for a long time. That's why, Papa and Mama always obey her wishes, because we don't want her to be stressed, it's not good for her health. Papa knows, Papa and Mama's attitude makes you feel sad, disappointed, and consider us unfair. But we had no other choice, we had to do this, Bylla! Lately his condition has often worsened, that's why Papa and Mama can't go home, when Reymond's parents go to the house, Papa and Mama can't leave Mika," kairi said while looking at her son.

Bylla shed her tears, all this time she always hated her sister, assuming she had snatched what she had. But unexpectedly, it turns out that his sister holds a heavy burden that he never knew. What kind of brother is he?

"Why didn't Papa or Mama tell me? Why is Om Andra and the Holy Aunt keeping all this a secret, why, why?" yelled Bylla crying.

What a very bitter reality. He always judged Mika badly, without ever knowing what really happened to her. As a brother, he should be able to be a backrest, when a sister feels fragile. But he never cared at all, he even left Mika with anger, knowing that the girl was in a relationship with Rubben. Ahh, how cruel he is.

"It's Mika's wish, baby. He doesn't want to worry you, that's why he wants to keep this a secret." Answer Kairi.

"But Pa, I'm her brother, I deserve to know what happened to her" Bylla said with a faster-running breath. This fact really struck his heart and soul.

"Papa knows Bylla, but this is Mika's wish. For the sake of his health, we were forced to comply with his request." Kairi Sahut.

Bylla could no longer utter words, she simply exhaled violently, while twitching her temple.

"Pa!" call Bylla after a long time of silence.

"Yes, son."

"I want to see Mika." Say Bylla solemnly.

"Honey, your condition has not made it possible to travel long. Later if your situation improves, we go to Paris. For now, do a video call first, yes!" kairi said while holding onto both Bylla's shoulders.

"All right!" Replied Bylla gave up.

"Oh yeah, what about your wedding? Was delayed? At least wait until your health really improves,"

Bylla let out a long sigh, she herself did not know yet, how Reymond decided. Whether to postpone the next few days, or keep doing it according to the agreed day.

"I don't know either, Pa. Reymond hasn't said anything to me." Answer Bylla.

"Will the prescription be delayed, you're still like this, son. Are you willing to welcome hundreds of guests, from morning to night?"

"Later I'll talk about it again with Reymond, Pa." Bylla.

"Yes. Yes, now rest! Papa will come out first," Kairi said as she gently rubbed the top of Bylla's head.

"Yes Pa" replied Bylla, nodding her head.

Then, Kairi steps away leaving Bylla. But before that, he justified the blanket covering his son's body.

After her father left, Bylla grabbed the phone next to her. He was about to call his mother, but he first checked the chat message from Reymond.

"Why haven't you returned my message, Rey? Are you busy?" murmured Bylla slowly.

He's been texting Reymond since this morning. But until almost noon, Reymond has not returned the message. Not usually Reymond behaves like this, what's wrong with him?

Rey, you're busy, aren't you? I miss you, I have something to talk to you about.

Bylla again sent a message to her future husband. In addition to asking about marriage, Bylla also wants to share the burden about Mika.

And in just a matter of seconds, Reymond replied to his message.

Sorry, I'm still busy today. Tomorrow I will come to the hospital, I also want to talk to you about important things, about marriage.

Repeatedly Bylla read the message, like something strange in her opinion. Reymond did not return the word of miss from him, nor did he ask how he was, and had eaten or not. Not as usual, why?

Didn't you ask me how I was, Rey?

I'm busy, Bylla. Please understand!

Oh, fine!

Bylla stared pushyly at the message she just sent. Until a few minutes Bylla waited, but there was no reply from Reymond.

"What's wrong with you, Rey? I feel like you've changed a little, whether it's because of your busyness. Ahh, I hope so. Oh God she is too precious to me, please do not do it for me" said Bylla, rubbing her face.

Seriate...
