Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 101

"How's Nadhira doing, Mia Ma'am ?" ask Mother who just came accompanied by Bara. Because, Dad was on a work trip out of the area.

"Still in the doctor's office inside, ma'am."

Reyhan who saw the arrival of Mother and Bara just stared for a while and then returned bowed. Sighs a long breath and exhales it violently. He felt her sitting beside him. Yet, he had no intention of reprimanding. The mind drifted somewhere.

"Why can it happen like this ?" tanya Bara opened the conversation.

He had not yet answered Bara's question. The door to the ER room was wide open, featuring a woman with a slightly distended belly, followed by two nurses who helped Reyhan bring Nadhira. He got up from his seat and approached the woman named Julia tag.

"How's my wife doing, Doc ? What about the content ?"

"Your wife is bleeding and her uterus is..." Doctor Julia hung up her words.

"My wife's relationship is fine, isn't it, Doc ?"

"Sorry, Sir. Because, a hard impact on the stomach of Nadhira's mother made her miscarry," said Dr. Julia explained and passed.

Reyhan instantly silenced. His tongue was unable to speak.

"It's all because of you, Reyhan!" sniffed Mama hard.

Reyhan was not flinching at all. His body that stood in front of the door of the room was pushed by Mama to hit the wall.

"Elo it's okay, Han ?" ask Bara who is still left outside the room.

"It's all my fault, Bar," he wrote.

"Don't be like this. You need to calm down." I try to calm down. Although in his heart he was clearly so blame his best friend.

His eyes slowly opened. The aroma of medicines that had become the hallmark of the white building was radiating to his sense of smell. His gaze swept to all the corners of the room. He found Mama and Mommy standing next to him with a pitiful look.

"Mama. Mother."

"Thank God you've finally awakened, son, too" said Mama softly. Another is with Mother. He only silenced with his lips bitten. Trying to stop him from crying.

The gaze led to the door that squeaked softly. It opened and gave rise to Reyhan with a lethargic face and eyes that were still wet. His brain immediately worked quickly in light of the incident that left him lying in a hospital gurney. His hand held his flat stomach as before.

"Mama. Mommy. My stuff is fine, isn't it ?"

Mama didn't answer anything. Likewise with Mother.

"Dragon!" call her loud to Bara who is two steps behind Reyhan.

Bara approached him slowly without any hesitation and his faint smile. "Dik, you want to listen to Brother no ?"

"My jaw! What about my stuff ?" Nyalang. The way he talks has also changed drastically.

"Abang will tell you. But, stay calm and keep your emotions. How ?"

He had to nod his head slowly.

Bara stroked her head of hair that was covered in her instant hijab. "Dik ? You believe no ? That, there is a hope that can not be fully realized. There's something you've held but it can just disappear."

He nodded.

"You believe in loss too, don't you, Dik ?"

"What does it mean to ask like that ? Just talk to the point."

He shook strongly. "Don't joke like that, Bang."

"Mama. Mommy. You're kidding, aren't you ?"

Both of her mothers were able to cry.

"No!" his yell. His gaze was sharp towards Reyhan who was already frozen with tears.

"It's all because of you, Reyhan! You killed my son!" He throws Reyhan with a pillow in the gurney. She was crying hysterically. Scream as loud as he can.

The embers quickly pulled his body into the deck. Even though he rebelled strongly.

"You have killed my son, Reyhan," he said in his brother's arms.

Reyhan with shaky steps approached him. Apologizing. "I'm sorry, Al. I'm sorry," Reyhan said.

"I won't forgive you, Reyhan! I won't!"

"Al, I never meant it that way. I beg you to forgive me."

"By taking the man away. I didn't see his face."

"Yes, Brother. Yes," replied Bara gently without letting go of her crib.

"Han, mending elo out first. Nadhira needs time to accept the incident that happened to him sincerely."

"But, Bar..."

"Gue understood elo's feelings. But, elo also had to understand how Nadhira was so devastated to hear this reality."

Reyhan is really resigned. His wife no longer wanted to see his face. Jua Mama's. My mother didn't flinch or defend her.

With a forced step Reyhan out of the room with regret that ambushed him. He regrets not being able to control well the anger that fills him.

Still in the ER room. He sobbed in the warm deck of his brother. Crying the departure of a baby that has not been overwritten.

"Why did God take my baby ? Why ?" he is in a strong cry.

Patiently advised him. "God loves you better, brother. Try to be sincere."

"Ang ?" call him. The breathing began to fall apart. The asthma he suffered back attacked him.

"Nadhira ?" Bara patted her cheek slowly. "Why are you ?"

Mama and Mommy panicked to see the girl.

"Son, what's wrong with you, honey ?" Mother seems to be increasingly worried about the youngest child.

His breathing is getting more irregular. His chest felt a heavy burden.

"Mother, it looks like the asthma is relapsing again" said Bara.

"Yes, Bang. Mom, call the Doctor first."

"Yes, Mother."

Mother is out.
