Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 148

"Sister? So today I'm going to the office again?" nadhira asked without looking at Reyhan who was wearing his shirt. He was busy making the bed.

"Yes, Honey. Besides, you can see for yourself the situation of sudan is getting better."

Ja. Reyhan's situation seems to be getting better. His face did not look too pale. Although, occasionally he felt a slight pain in his chest.

"But, you have to take care of your health, yes. Don't push yourself to work. And don't forget to take the medicine."

"Yes, Honey. You take it easy."

Reyhan stepped closer to Nadhira who was still busy with his activities. He hugged Nadhira's body from behind which successfully made his wife jump.

"So, I'm very happy to surprise me" said Nadhira. However, her hand gently stroked the back of her husband's hand.

"You're fine, yeah, at home. Don't be alone in the room often. Occasionally out. You accompany Mama or play with Latisha."

The girl nodded her head slowly. She twisted her body and was now face to face with her husband. The two stares collide.

"May I bring Mikayla and Finza here?"

"Of course I can. Let my beautiful wife not be lonely."

Nadhira smiled broadly. He takes the tie from Reyhan's hand and pairs it up. It had become his routine every morning when Reyhan was about to go to the office.

"As usual I've prepared provisions for you and Farhan."

"Thank you, yeah, Al. You've taken care of me and now you have to give your attention to my sister."

Nadhira simply replied with a sweet smile. Too often he heard that phrase from Reyhan.

"Sister, I've seen Farhan lately his face is pale. Or maybe Farhan hasn't fully recovered because he fell ill yesterday, huh?"

"I told Farhan that. But Farhan said it was just exhaustion and needed rest. And that's because he's not used to office work that's quite draining his energy and mind."

"I hope so, yes, Brother. I'm just worried if he's really not okay. Brother knows for himself how your sister is. It's hard to open."

Reyhan chuckled at the attitude of his wife. Attentive and loving. Not only to him, but to Farhan and Latisha, his sister.

Reyhan gently stroked the top of his wife's head that was not covered in hijab. "Thank you for being a good wife, yeah, honey. I'm lucky to have a wife like you. Good, patient and attentive."

Again Nadhira only replied with a sweet smile.

...***...

Reyhan and Farhan are in the office. It's in Reyhan's room. He did not want to work in a separate room with his sister. Besides making it easy to communicate. He could also control Farhan's work.

"Sister, today there was a meeting with colleagues from Banjarnegara. Farhan will prepare the necessary files now" said Farhan breaking the silence in the room.

"You're the one who's meeting, brother. Brother came here just to help you. Not taking over your job," Reyhan casually replied.

Farhan looked at her brother who was sitting sweetly on the sofa. "Farhan is afraid of not being able to work optimally. After all, this is an important colleague, brother. Farhan doesn't want to destroy cooperation."

"You have not started a war, you have given up. How can you help out at Papa's larger company later? Of course there you will meet with colleagues whose influence is very large for the sustainability of the company."

"Or are you just afraid of getting angry with Papa again?"

Farhan raised his head and looked at Reyhan. Her brother was always successful in making her silenced.

"No. Farhan was used to being angry with Papa. Especially at..." Farhan did not continue his sentence.

"Hit you mean?"

Farhan was silent again.

Reyhan stepped closer to Farhan who was sitting in the CEO chair he used to sit in. Standing right in front of his sister. "Do you know how to stop Papa from blaming you?"

Farhan.

"You just need to prove your ability to Papa. Prove that you are much more capable than Brother. Brother is sure you are capable of doing that. I trust you."

"Farhan will not be able to surpass your great abilities, Brother. Farhan's sick. Farhan could not think hard" Farhan said in his heart. Tears are now on her eyelids.

Along with tears that piled up. The pain in Farhan's head also came whack. His head felt pierced by thousands of arrows simultaneously. Ears buzzing. His gaze was blurring.

Farhan held his head firmly. She bit her lower lip to hold back her moaning voice from Reyhan.

"Farhan, what's wrong with you?" reyhan asked with great worry. He circled the desk to get closer to Farhan's position.

Farhan only shook his head without making a sound. The pain was attacking his head. Can't stand it, he banged his head on the desk.

Seeing this made Farhan shocked. "Hey! What are you doing?" ryhan snapped while trying to stop Farhan's actions.

"To.pa.la Far..han..." Farhan.

"Sa.kit..."

Reyhan pulled his sister's head. He held Farhan tightly. His heart was saddened to hear the moans after moans that came out of his lips brother. For the first time, he saw Farhan's condition as miserable. And for the first time also he saw Farhan shamelessly shed tears before him.

Suddenly Farhan got up and ran towards the bathroom that was in the room. His stomach felt violently turbulent. He spits out clear liquids.

Seeing that made Reyhan's worries really peak. He ran towards the bathroom and massaged Farhan's nape. "We'll just go to the hospital, yeah, Sister. Brother is afraid your pain will get worse."

Farhan just shook his head slowly. He lifted his head and looked at the reflection of his face that had paled like the walls of the room. He wiped his wet lips with the tissue that was available in the bathroom.

"Farhan doesn't need to go to the Hospital, Brother. This must be because Farhan was late to eat. So, Farhan's stomach is troubled like this." Farhan tried to smile to hide the pain that had not subsided. He didn't want Reyhan to know what the real situation was. He did not want to worry and anfal his brother anymore. It was enough for him to see the pain that Reyhan had been in all this time.

"But even your face looks pale, Sister."

Farhan clasped Reyhan's hand tightly. "I'm okay," he assured Reyhan.

Reyhan let out a heavy breath. "Now we go home, yeah. You're gonna need a break."

This time Farhan did not refuse. What Reyhan said was right. He needs rest at home. And of course taking drugs by hiding in the room.
