Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 129

Bugh!

One fist landed right on Reyhan's face. Fresh blood came out the tip of his lips. Reyhan wiped it with the back of his hand while smiling incisively.

"Elo forgot what I said back at the airport? If you remember, that's what you have to accept."

"Gue never forgets. But, this is purely a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand what else you mean, Rey?"

"Elo listen to me first. For God's sake it's a misunderstanding."

The legs of the twenty-six-year-old man were shaking even more violently. His hands clung to the sturdy walls of the living room to maintain his balance. He began to tell stories without anyone being left behind.

Bara was only silent to hear all the series of stories from Reyhan's lips that still left the fresh blood. There's a sense of regret. So too with guilt and pity in Bara's heart.

"I'm sorry," is the word Bara can say.

"It's okay. I understand why you did that to me."

"Gue just doesn't want elo to hurt Nadhira."

"And I would never do that" he said with a small laugh. He grimaces. There was pain on the tip of his lips.

"Why is elo's leg shaking like that? Elo's fine, isn't it, Han?"

He nodded. However, his face was unable to dodge.

"Sit down first." Bara holds the arm of his brother-in-law and best friend. He sat on the living room sofa.

"Huhn?"

The man who was raising his head looked at Bara. "Why, Bar?"

"I'm sorry I hit you. I'm too emotional. Moreover, saying Nadhira was so tired of crying."

"Yes. I-i understand. And elo see for myself I'm fine."

I stared at the man in front of him. Bara who is very understanding about the condition of his best friend. "Elo's sick, Han," Bara said, not wanting to justify any more fine words from Reyhan's lips.

As usual, of course the tall man dodged by shaking his head. And tried to smile even though the tip of his lips still looked fresh blood there. "I told you. I'm fine."

"The face is pale. Elo's legs shook like that. Can you still say that elo is okay?"

Bara always has been. He will never give up. "And this belongs to Elo, right?" bara asked by lifting a small bottle right in front of Reyhan's face.

Reyhan immediately reached into his suit pocket and pants. "Where did you get that bottle?"

"not important. I asked, is this elo's or isn't it? If it isn't, let me throw it in the trash."

Reyhan. And in the end he admitted. "Yes. It's mine. I was looking for it, not meeting it. I forgot to put it where."

"If elo is okay. Surely you don't need this, do you? Because, elo told me elo is fine. Let me throw it away, yes this bottle." Bara pretended to step away from Reyhan who was still sitting sweetly on the sofa.

"Wait, Bar! I can't get far from it" Reyhan said in a higher-than-usual tone.

Bara laughed cynically. "Gue thought there was no need anymore. Isn't elo okay, Han?"

Reyhan.

"Gue knows elo. Don't you ever try to lie to me."

Reyhan was still unmoved even though Bara had landed a body right beside him.

"Before Elo became my sister-in-law. Elo was my friend first. I know elo and I understand how elo."

"Thanks, Bar."

"Elo's gonna take some medicine, right? Let me get you some water for elo." Bara is one of the attentive men. That's how I've been educating her all this time. However, the firmness was also within him. Bara is a man who is hard to deny.

"Who's water to drink, Bang? Any guests?" ask the middle-aged woman who just came down the stairs with her daughter.

"To Reyhan, Mother," Bara replied with a faint smile. Then, just pass by.

The girl next to Mother was staring at the small, round object that was encircling her wrist. He shook his head slowly.

"Why, Son?"

"Sir Reyhan was late for the medicine. It should have been two hours ago." The girl widened her steps. He ran small towards the living room and left Mother who was still standing on the last stairs.

"Dik, don't run away like that, honey!" shouted Mother in a panic tone. Mother immediately followed her careless daughter.

Her eyes widened. Nadhira closed his mouth in shock with both hands. "Astagfirullah," he said and walked up to Reyhan who was leaning on the sofa in the living room. Looking at her husband's state, she even forgot that there was currently an unhealed wound in her heart.

"Why is it like this, brother?" nadhira asked with all his worries.

"Did you?" call him with a probing look.

"My head is pining. So I fell and hit the corner of the table" Reyhan said with a slight smile on his back.

"How come? I can't believe it" he said.

"Gear me! And behold, have you found the lie of my eyes?" ask Reyhan seriously.

Embers. He's speechless. Obviously, it was because of his treatment. But Reyhan still defends and hides his guilt.

"Aren't you on your medication?"

Reyhan nodded. "It has. The brother who served me well." The twenty-six-year-old chuckled.

"So soon, let me get you a medicine box for brother."

Nadhira stepped off the sofa. However, he suddenly felt his stomach cramp a little. "www." He nodded and held his stomach.

Reyhan's panicking. "Dear you why? Your stomach hurts?"

Seeing that thing. No doubt Mother and Bara also feel panic.

"My stomach is cramped, brother."

Mother led her daughter to sit on the sofa. Right next to Reyhan. Mother seemed to understand that her daughter-in-law was eager to help Nadhira. But his condition is so unlikely.

"Wait here. Let Mommy get the medicine box."

"Thank you, Mother."

Reyhan gently stroked that distended stomach. Hoping the cramps in Nadhira's stomach could subside.

"Son, why are you making Mama hurt like that? If you want something. Say it, honey." Reyhan gently and affectionately invited the little angel inside Nadhira's belly.

"Patience, yes, dear. Soon your stomach will stop feeling cramped" Reyhan's great-grandson strengthened Nadhira. His hand did not slap his wife's stomach.

The girl just nodded and grimaced occasionally.

"I'm sorry, yeah, Al. So many wounds and disappointments that I bore in your heart. But, for God's sake. I have absolutely no such intention."

He's speechless.

"For what happened in the office. It was purely a misunderstanding. And now let me explain this to you, yeah, honey."

I don't know where the suggestion is. The girl just nodded her head for sure.

Reyhan began his story. Also witnessed by Bara who was still sitting with them. The story line came out freely with nothing left behind.

"If you don't believe me. I'll take you to meet Elmeera. How's it?"

"Yes. I trust my husband." His mood quickly returned to normal.
