Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 144

"Are you sure you feel better about going to the office?" reyhan asked with attention to Farhan who was wearing a tie.

"Yes, Brother. Farhan is fine," Farhan replied with confidence.

Reyhan got up and walked over to his sister. He slowly pulled Farhan's shoulder until his sister turned to face him. The slow fist he landed on Farhan's stomach which he saw a few days ago was still turning blue.

"Akk." Farhan was in pain. His hand reflexively held onto his aching stomach. In fact, Reyhan's fist was very slow. But he felt an incredible pain.

"That little fist alone makes you so sick, Sister. Brother knows you're still sick. Just rest. Delay to the office."

Farhan. "No. Farhan has to go to the office. Farhan did not want to pile up any more work," he responded by ignoring the pain that was still felt in his stomach area.

"Farhan is a beginner. Farhan had a lot to learn so as not to make any more mistakes. So, Papa's hand did not land on my body again," continued Farhan unconsciously with his words.

Reyhan. The man looked at his sister who was getting ready. "What did you say? Can you repeat?"

Farhan's tongue froze. He doesn't know what to answer.

"Repeat what you said earlier, Farhan!" reyhan commands by placing emphasis on every word he utters.

Farhan deliberately glanced at the wall clock. "Farhan go first, brother. Farhan won't be late."

"You're the CEO there. You can come anytime you want."

"That's exactly it, brother. Farhan should set a good example for employees. Farhan wants to follow in the footsteps of Brother. So, Farhan will be displeased by people." For a moment he was silent. "Like Papa, for example," he continued inwardly.

"But you're still not healthy. Brother doesn't want you to faint again like a few days ago."

"Don't worry. Farhan is strong" he said convincingly and smiled widely. Of course he has to be strong. However, he has been given the mandate to replace Reyhan to assume the mandate as CEO. In addition, he must be strong to immediately correct the mistakes he made accidentally. He did it so that there would be no more violence. No more bruises on his body that were deliberately imprinted by Papa's hand.

Farhan shuddered in horror considering how Papa brutally beat him mercilessly. Such treatment was fairly common for Farhan. Because, that man had gotten it often. And always hidden. So, often times the debate with Papa makes him in the wrong position.

If emotions feel on the threshold. That's when he will loudly yell at Papa too. However, after that there was a sense of regret that constrained him strongly. Makes him have to feel pain like a dagger prick in his head.

"Sir."

Reyhan's call successfully brought him back to consciousness. Farhan smiled.

"I'm sorry to have trapped you in this position" Reyhan said regretfully.

"This is the decision Farhan chose. Why should you blame yourself like that?" asked Farhan casually.

"If Brother's condition is not like this. You will definitely be free from a heavy state that you do not want at all."

Farhan laughed. He sat next to Reyhan on his big bed. His hand landed on the thigh of the brother. He turned his head to look at the ceiling of the room. "Farhan is a man, brother. Farhan wants to be a strong fighter and a great winner." Farhan paused his sentence. He looked at the pale face beside him. "Like Reyhan Akbar Oktara" he continued with certainty.

This time it was Reyhan's turn to laugh a little. "The fighter who eventually fell due to a deadly disease ingrained in Brother."

The conversation between the two brothers came to a halt when Farhan's bedroom door opened slowly. Showing a little girl with long hair. Complete with school uniform and bag.

"Hi!" greet Reyhan with spirit. "Come here!"

Different from Farhan. The man was stunned. Blurry views. He could not clearly see who had entered his room if the sound of the lisp was not heard.

"Said Mama, Tisha went to school with Kak Farhan," said the little girl innocently as she stepped closer.

At that time Farhan was trying to restore his consciousness before it was completely lost. He shook his head with his eyes closed. Until he felt again that his vision was normal.

"Ready, Little Boss. Brother Farhan will take you to the front of the class" said Farhan.

Reyhan and Farhan throw eyes at each other. Then, laugh together loudly. And simultaneously the two men kissed the cheek of the little girl in front of them.

"His sister is now a big one, huh, sweetie?" Reyhan stroked Latisha's long hair.

"of course. So, Tisha should not be spoiled like what Brother Nadhira said."

"Who's that saying brother's name?"

The three sons of Oktara were staring simultaneously at the door. Find Nadhira with a tray containing breakfast for Reyhan and Farhan. Ja. This morning Reyhan was eager to have breakfast with his younger brother. Therefore, he asked his wife to bring breakfast to Farhan's room.

"Tunggi's sister downstairs, yeah, same Mama. Reyhan and Farhan's sister had breakfast first. Well, after that it was then that Brother Farhan drove the sister to school."

The little girl nodded innocently and sauntered out.

"Breakfast first. I've made fried rice special for both of you."

"Thank you very much, Brother."

Nadhira simply replied with a sweet smile.

"Remember, you guys don't forget to take your medicine after this."

"Why are we both so pathetic like this, huh, sister?"

Celeukan Farhan managed to shift the focus of the two humans who were carrying it.

"What do you mean, Farhan?" ask Nadhira.

Farhan immediately shook his head. "No, Brother. Forget it."

Silent. No one opened their voice after that. Everyone focused on their food.

"Sister has asked Brother Nadhira to prepare provisions for you as well. Later in the office don't forget to eat, yeah."

"Farhan can't eat out, brother."

"Taste your sister-in-law no less delicious than the dishes in the restaurant out there."

"Hmmm. Alright. Farhan's leaving, yeah."

Reyhan nodded. "Don't hurt anymore."

Farhan only smiled faintly and picked up the provisions Nadhira had prepared for him. "Chealing soon. Farhan waited for Brother to return to the office. And we'll help Papa together."

That smile rose on Reyhan's lips.

"Don't psimis. Nothing's impossible."

Farhan stepped out leaving the couple in his room.

"Now let's go back to the room. Farhan's gone."

Reyhan nodded. He followed Nadhira slowly leaving his sister's room.

"Thank you for your attention to Farhan" Reyhan said.
