Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 27

Very early in the morning. When the sun still shyly appeared to greet the universe.

Bara had rushed out of his room located on the two-story luxury house he occupied with his family. With a t-shirt suit t-shirt combined with deep black jeans. And do not forget the key of his favorite car that he played in his right hand.

“Where are you going early this morning ?” ask the unusual Mother to see her son is neat and ready to go in the morning blind.

“Eeee.. would like to pick up a sister, Mommy.” Answer Bara gelagapan.

“Fetch adek ? She is the same husband. Why are all picked up ?”

“Iya. You are lag..”

“Don't tell me that you want to disturb them.”

“Astagfirullah, Bun. Same kid himself suudzon anyway. Anyway yes, Brother has not finished talking also already play cut-up aja.”

“Loh hold ? Kan usually also brother often disturbing adek. Naturally dong if Mommy says like that.”

Bara clasped the hand of the woman who gave birth to him as gently as possible.

“My beautiful and kind mother. Which of course is second to none in this world.”

Before continuing his speech, Bara had seen Mother roll her eyeballs carelessly hearing the unsung seduction. Makes him tickle amused.

“Listen Brother, yes. Even though this is how you still know yourself and have adab, Mother. Adek is now a wife of people. It is very unlikely if just to disturb the scene, you have to go to the hotel where they are staying or to their home.”

“Iya right Mother just think, Bang.”

“Mother, Brother wants to pick up adek to hospital.” Said Bara hesitatingly.

Mommy's eyes are perfectly rounded then look at the handsome man who is still holding his hand. Bara who understood the intention of the gaze that Mother threw for him calmly carried her body sitting on the sofa available in the living room.

“Post sit first here.”

Mother had no choice but to follow the invitation of her eldest child.

“Abang very sorry to Mother. Last night he hurried away because he was on the phone with Abraham to take him to the hospital. Reyhan to the hotel did not bring a car. It's not that Brother doesn't want to tell Mother. But..”

Bara stopped his speech. Inhaling a little oxygen.

“But Brother doesn't want Mommy to worry and to think.”

“Your sister why, Bang ?” ask Mother full of worry.

“Adek is only allergic and has the effect of vomiting. He had previously drunk the orange juice Reyhan gave him at dinner. But, we can't blame Reyhan on this, Mother. Because Reyhan does not know at all if you are allergic to oranges.”

“Now how is adek ?”

“Today is home, Mother. So, Mommy just calm down. Now Brother will pick them up to the hospital. As soon as we drive them home.”

“Mother come.”

“Do not, Bun. Later if Mother comes along what about Dad ? Dad's going to the office. Let your brother go. Brother promised, later Brother invited Mother to the house of Abraham to look adek.”

Mother can only surrender with Bara's speech. Because, he understands the nature of his son who does not like to be denied.

“Ya. Brother be careful on the road.”

“Good, Mother. Brother leaving now, yes.”

“What's not breakfast first, Bang ?”

“Let's go on the road, Mommy. So many brothers find our newlywed couple breakfast.”

Bara's smile was on his back to hear the nudity of his Mother who heard his bad words.

“Abang the road first, Mother. Don't get stuck in the street. Assalamu’alaikum.” Pamit Bara then kissed the hand of the Mother.

Bara quickly set foot towards the door and took his car in the garage.

Bara drives a favorite vehicle that always accompanies him wherever he wants. The pitch-black car drove through the streets that would soon be crowded with vehicles passing by. Vehicles driven by sustenance suppliers to meet the needs that have always been the demands of their lives.

Right in a multi-storey building with paint that is dominated by white and says Hospital Bara stopped the speed of his car. Park in a place that is devoted to four-wheeled vehicles.

The feet step back. Tracing every inch of land that was stepped into the hospital building. Then down every hallway that is connected to the room of the little sister just wayangnya.

In front of a room that Bara knew was the room where his sister was treated. Confidently, he entered without knocking on the door. And...

“Job...”

He was shocked by the sight he found. He saw the newlywed couple still asleep with Reyhan's position hugging his wife's tiny body.

Bara longed to curse himself because of his habit of always entering without permission as he entered his sister's room at will.

Just about to turn around and step out. His steps were stopped by the typical sound of waking up that belonged to his sister-in-law.

“Bara!” Call Reyhan while rubbing his eyes.

I looked over and smiled shyly.

“Since when is here ?”

“Newly come.”

“Continue wanting to come back?”

“Mmmm..eee it.”

“Why, Bar ? It's still early in the morning already so strange.”

“Elo is weird, Han. First night in the hospital. Not picky place once.”

Reyhan was instantly aware of his position. He tried to get up from his sleep. However, his left arm was still faithfully made a pillow by the girl who was still at peace in her sleep. Who else if not Nadhira.

I feel like there is another movement. Nadhira squirmed and slowly opened his eyes to adjust the light that his retina could catch.

“Abang ?” he said with a hoarse voice.

“How is the current state of adek ?” Bara asked as she walked closer to Nadhira.

Reyhan's arm that had been held hostage by Nadhira's head was now free and felt numb. Reyhan can freely change his position and sit leaning on the back of the patient's bed.

“Aalhamdulillah's. It's better, Bang.”

“Abang why is it here early in the morning?” Reciprocity.

“What kind of question is this ?” She asked me back with a sniffle.

Looking at Bara who seemed irritated by Nadhira's question, Reyhan with all his might held his laughter to the point of being unheard.

“But, are you sure you want to know why you are here early in the morning ?”

“You see the newlyweds when the first night in the hospital is like what.”

Bara's reply received sharp glances from Nadhira and Reyhan.

“What the hell, Brother ? that's what it's like.” Nadhira said he did not accept.

“Clearly, Deck. Last time I entered Brother see you guys are.”.

“What's the middle ?” cut Reyhan.

“Again..it's tuh.” Temptation Bara.

“You didn't forget ‘kan out of doing what ?” Further.

Nadhira and Reyhan threw each other a look of disbelief. As they remember. They didn't do anything. Besides Nahdira who fell asleep soundly in Reyhan's arms.

“Don't make up stories, Bara. I still know what to do under what circumstances and where.”

“Loh, why don't you believe it like that ? I'll ‘talk what I just saw, Han.”

“Abang only saw the previous one. before did not know ‘kan ? so, you can't just conclude.” Nadhira was increasingly upset with his brother.

“Hahaha.. don't emotion so dong, Dek. Elo too, Ham. Why tense ?” Bara felt winning the action that upset the two lovebirds in front of him.

“Hubbing Brother is not funny at all.”

“Iya. Ja. Brother is sorry. Besides, if you do anything. Yes it's up to you. Because your status is now legal as husband and wife in the eyes of religion and country. So, no one will bother.”

“But, elo joke very late tau, Bar.”

“Good. Good. Again I'm sorry.”

“Keep how this is ? When can I go home ?”

Nadhira looked at Reyhan. The man understood the meaning of his wife's gaze. Then he started talking.

“Stay waiting for Doctor to check on Nadhira only, Bar. Nadhira's condition has improved. Today I can go home.”

“Yaahh, hopefully yes, Dek.”

“iya, Bang. Adek tired of the smell of drugs like this.”

“Makanya adek do not get sick kagi, yes.”

“Sure, Brother. From now on adek will continue to maintain health.”

Bara smiled at her brother's innocent words.

“Dek, I'll call Farhan for a minute. Ask for help to pick up our things at the hotel. So that he will go home directly to the same brother. It's okay ‘kan ?”

“It's okay. If you have to go to a hotel first. Later Abang tired back and forth.”

“No, Deck. For my beloved brother. Brother will do anything.”

Nadhira rolled his eyes lazily.

“No need, Bar. I'll call Farhan only.”

Reyhan took his cell phone and contacted his younger brother Farhan.

Phone connected.

“Hallo, Deck. You're on rum..”

Reyhan's words just hang up hearing voices that collide across there.

“Kak, why ?” Nadhira asked after seeing the change in the look on her husband's face.

Reyhan lifted all five of his fingers into the air. Gesticulating silence to Nadhira.

“Wah... It's a total coincidence. Look, Pa. Papa's favorite son called. Just be proud of him. So that he can hear and know. That, even today Papa still views him as a Super Hero in our family.”

Reyhan's mouth was clenched. His emotions peaked to the crown. Again and early in the morning. He had to hear the debate of two other men in his family besides him. Nothing else and nothing, the two men were Papa and his sister.

“Kak ? Why ?” Nadhira asked again while gently holding her husband's hand shamelessly in front of the Brother.

Reyhan decided to call without saying anything.

“It's okay, Honey. I'll just go for a while, yeah ?”

Nadhira's forehead shriveled.

“Where ?”

“There is a sudden affair that you have to take care of.” Reyhan said with a big smile.

“Bae, I borrow a car. Please take care of Nadhira while I'm away.”

“Lo where to go?”

“After this issue is completed. I must have told you the same story lo.”

“You're the same Brother for a moment, yes.” Reyhan gently stroked the shoulder of his wife's hand and kissed Nadhira's forehead before he left.

Reyhan's burly body slowly drifted away accompanied by Nadhira's wistful gaze.

To be honest, it was eager for Nadhira to ask in detail why her husband had suddenly said goodbye leaving without leaving a clear trail of explanation. However, Nadhira only buried deeply in his wish for a while. Before he could ask her everything she wanted to ask.

“Kakak!”

“Han!”

Call Nadhira and Reyhan together after seeing Reyhan grimacing while holding his chest.

As soon as possible Bara approached his sister-in-law.

“I’m okay, Bar.” Reyhan said because he knew what Bara would first ask.

“But, I'm not sure if elo is okay, Han. Rest up. Don't go anywhere.”

“Gue should go, Bar. Titip my wife for a minute.”

With the pain he felt. Reyhan walked away from the brothers. He walked as fast as he could without heeding the pain he was suffering.

The pain that he felt was like he was defeated by the anger that had soared to dominate him.
