Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 134

The girl was still faithfully asleep in Reyhan's warm embrace. His smooth snoring created a regular rhythm.

Reyhan looked at his wife's face at close range. He tucked the child's hair that fell on that smooth white face. Next to his hand was still faithfully stroking the soft long hair of Nadhira. Next to it is made a banyal by the girl who soon bears the predicate of Mama.

Reyhan's hand turned on Nadhira's distended stomach. He does not want to pass through the goods for a second time not to feel the small movements of the baby.

"Darling, wakeup. He said he wanted to check the womb" Reyhan whispered right in his wife's ear.

Instead of opening your eyes. The girl even more tightened her embrace on Reyhan's body. Drown again her face on the chest of her husband's field.

"Cho, Aleeana. Last night you said you wanted to see the development of your little one. Awake, Honey. We're going to the gynecologist now" Reyhan said with an unceasing hand stroking Nadhira's cheek gently.

Still same. The girl kept tightly hugging Reyhan's body without any intention of letting go even for a second. He wants to enjoy his comfort in the morning.

The sound of knocking on the door distracted Reyhan. He looked towards the door of the room. He heard Farhan's voice calling his name.

"Sir Reyhan!"

"Wait a minute, Brother!" scream Reyhan.

"Al, if you still want to sleep. Thats okay. Just continue your sleep. I met Farhan outside for a moment" Reyhan said, putting his wife's head on a pillow to free his arm.

The girl is still flinching. He's getting fast asleep.

Before moving. Reyhan first gently stroked Nadhira's distended stomach and kissed her forehead fondly. "Wait a minute. I'll make breakfast for you and the little one."

The door of the room is wide open. Reyhan found Farhan still standing there. Lean on a solid wall with hands folded in front of the chest.

"What's up, Farhan?"

"Can we talk in the sister's room?"

"Of course."

The two brothers immediately moved from the bedroom door to Reyhan's study. The room located at the very end on the second floor of the luxurious house they inhabited.

...***...

"What's up, Farhan? It seems that you are so serious" Reyhan said.

"Farhan has decided to help Papa manage the company" said the man of Nadhira's age without further ado.

That made Reyhan smile. "really?" ask Reyhan to make sure.

Farhan nodded for sure.

"And this," Farhan handed me a key. "Farhan won't sleep outside again from now on."

"Save it, Sister. Who knows you'll need one day."

Farhan laughed. "No, Brother. Alhamdulillah Farhan already has his own apartment. Well, even though Farhan is still a great-grandchild" said Farhan shyly.

Different from Farhan. The thick black man was moved as well as the nation to his younger brother. "So proud of you, brother." Reyhan pulled Farhan's body and held her tightly. "I don't expect you to replace your sister."

"Why talk like that? Farhan will help Papa. Not helping brother."

Reyhan chuckles. "It's up to you."

"Nadhira's stomach is getting bigger. When did it explode, brother?" tanya Farhan melted the atmosphere with her joke sentence.

"Two months, Farhan. Big brother is getting impatient want to immediately fondle the little one."

Farhan's gaze sparkled. "Well, really?"

Reyhan nodded with a fluffy smile framed on his pale lips.

"Little girl or boy, sister?"

Reyhan raised his shoulders. "Eitherway. Men and women are not a problem, brother. The origin of the Little One is born healthy and without any flaws."

"May twins, yes, sister."

Not answering. Reyhan closed his eyes. Her chest feels a little tight. He breathed deep air.

"Sister? Are you good?"

His head nodded slowly. "Yes. Brother's fine."

"Related?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Farhan stared fixedly at the pale face before him. Sayu and seem a lot of mind. He tried to revive the quiet atmosphere of the room. "Farhan wants to have a twin nephew, sister."

"If your nephew is a twin. Who do you want to name them?"

Farhan tapped his index finger on his forehead. Trying to think of the right name to pin if later Nadhira gave birth to twins. "Twin male and female, yes, sister. So, Farhan's gonna have a full niece."

"It is up to you to imagine what you are like."

"Farhan will give a name to the male, Zafran. And the female..."

"Zebra" Reyhan said suddenly. This made them both laugh out loud.

"Of course not. Farhan will name him Zulaikha. Zafran and Zulaikha. Hows it? Good, isn't it?"

"good. But, good we don't think it's necessarily good for your sister-in-law."

Farhan chuckles. "Later let Farhan persuade Brother Nadhira that he will."

"Please. Persuading a human like your sister-in-law is tantamount to you persuading Latisha, Farhan. It takes a long time and will make sure there is a sulking scene first."

The two brothers laughed again.

"Sister, Farhan wants to marry young" said Farhan still with a laugh.

Reyhan looked at his little brother intensely. His gaze was a probing gaze. Investigating whether his brother was serious or otherwise. Serious with his young marriage wishes.

"You're serious, Farhan?"

Farhan nodded for sure. "of course. Farhan has spoken to Papa," he said cheerfully.

"Want to?"

"Approved dong, Brother. Well, although before that Farhan had to explain like a public lecture."

Reyhan patted his sister slowly. "Sister will support your decision, brother. But, remember! You must be responsible for your choices."

"Yes, Brother. And from now on Farhan will work hard despite still working at Papa's company."

"But which woman will you marry?"

Farhan's eyebrows linked into one. "Why is the question of a brother like Farhan having so many girls?"

Reyhan's laughter was unstoppable. His laughter again filled the room. This morning, he really felt a warmth that he had rarely found with his younger brother.

"alright. Who do you want to marry?"

"His name is Finza, sister."

"Finza?"

"Yes. Finza's best friend Nadhira's sister. I'm sure you know."

"Are you really, brother?"

"For what reason did Farhan lie to big brother."

"Gee. It could happen like this, yes. She is married to Aleeana. Bara will marry Mikayla. And you, already have a plan to marry Finza, too" Reyhan said with a small laugh.

"Sir Bara wants to get married too, brother?"

"Yes, Brother. If there is no obstacle. Next week has begun the application process."

Farhan nodded in understanding. He stared intensely at the pale face of the man near him. The tip of his lips lifted up a little. It forms a thin, almost invisible form.

"Why are you staring at Brother like that, Farhan?"

"Oh, no. It's okay."

"Sad brother, huh?"

"That's it, start again, right. It is impossible, brother. His brother is Reyhan Akbar Oktara. My handsome brother and many girls, who always succeeded in making my sister-in-law mumble."

Reyhan looked at his sister strangely. "What do you mean?"

Farhan chuckles. "Sir Nadhira once told Farhan. He does not like it if the sister is the subject of attention of students on campus when the sister accompanies him."

No doubt Farhan's story made both of them laugh.
