Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 77

I don't regret every single site I've walked down the street that ended up meeting you. Because, the purpose of my step is to find a home for me to go home and hack my heart. And I'm so thankful that that house is you."

^^^-Dekap Hamdalah-^^^

His fingers wiggled dancing with the pen on a collection of paper with an orange sky cover. Write every word for word that he strung into a meaningful sentence.

The wide open window allowed the morning sunlight to scour into his room. Letting the light hit the face and hair that has not completely dried.

He sipped a hot tea that was still emitting steam from a cup in front of him. Enjoying the piercing aroma in his sense of smell. Provides tranquility to a chaotic soul in the morning.

"Darling!" call Reyhan who is standing in front of a large glass in his room. Cut yourself off before you go to the office.

"Yes, Honey. Why ?"

"Mama told me last night. Next week we have to join Mama and Papa to visit aunt Salsa's house. His eldest son will carry out the contract."

"Yes, Honey. Hopefully there will be no obstacles."

He continued his activities without answering Reyhan's words. Write down any simple diction that crosses his mind.

Reyhan's loud ringing of his cell phone caught his attention. He saw Reyhan picking at the phone and putting it on his right ear.

Reyhan's sudden facial wrinkle changed after talking to the Caller made him curious. He approached and held Reyhan's arm.

"good. Thank you very much for your help, Dharma Doctor," Reyhan said, ending the call.

"Sister," he called out softly. With a curious look that he could not hide.

Reyhan just threw a faint smile at him.

"How ?"

"Alright, Al. I told you already. I refuse to hope. And this is my last hope. The last hope that ends the same. Both break," he said by pressing word for word in his last sentence.

"Yes. I'm not gonna force you again, brother. But, if one day there will be a suitable donor for the older brother. Please never refuse to perform surgery according to the doctor's advice."

Reyhan smiled miris. "I remind you. Don't expect too much of that. Because, it'll only hurt you, Al. Do not let you feel the pain is broken by the hope that you strung yourself. Just like me."

"Unfortunately my hope for that is already very great. My hope is for my husband to be fully healed. Because, I am a person who will not be able to see him in the slightest pain," he said firmly.

"Alright, Al. Speak as you please. I won't change my decision this time. I'd be willing if this fucking disease had to take my life fast." Reyhan was really frustrated. The great hope created because the beloved wife is now only limited to hope.

He put his index finger on Reyhan's lips. "Don't talk like that. We'll live forever." His hands hugged Reyhan's large body. "I'll be with you. Beside you. To be a home for you. So don't give up on anything. Please please. For me and our family."

"sorry. I can no longer write hope for anyone. Let everything be answered by itself. Over time that never stops turning."

Reyhan let out a long breath. "Tomorrow I must go outside the area for three days with Brother," Reyhan continued by stroking his shoulders slowly.

He looked at Reyhan with teary eyes. "Sister will leave me alone ?"

"No, Honey. Now I'll take you to Mother's house. And tonight we'll stay there. As long as I'm gone. You'll be staying with Mom and Dad."

"No! I just want to be with my sister" he said with tears that had fallen without pause.

"Darling, this time please let me go. After all, I'm not leaving alone. There's a Bang Bara who'll be with me later."

"I'll let my brother go. But, of course there are conditions that you have to fulfill."

"What conditions should I meet later ?"

"Go home safe and sound. I don't want to hear it there when you're sick."

"Yes, Sweetheart. I'll make sure of that for you."

He wiped his tears with the back of his smooth hand. Hugging back Reyhan's burly body that looked thinner than before. "I want this body to always be fine and always hold me in all circumstances that say hello."

"You don't worry, honey. With you I will always be fine. Didn't I always say the same thing to you ?"

He nodded.

"Now you prepare the equipment that you need during the Mother's home later. And I'm asking you to prepare my needs to go outside the area tomorrow."

He hurriedly prepared all his needs and Reyhan. Put it in the bag. While all Reyhan needs he put in a suitcase.

"Done!" he screamed like a child.

"We're leaving now, Al. I have an important meeting this morning at the office."

"I went to Mother's house delivered Mr. Amin only, Brother. Let me not be late to the office. Mother's house will be far enough and will certainly take a lot of time if you pocket me first."

His face turned irritated. "Ah... I don't want to go to the office."

"Why, dear ?"

"I don't want to see the woman who was once betrothed to that sister. I don't want to be treated like an employee there."

Reyhan laughed loudly. "You mean Tasya, honey ?"

"Who else is it ? Rianti's mom ?"

"Dear, listen to me. Tasya is not an employee there. Nor are the colleagues in the company I hold or the one Papa holds. You won't find it in the office every day. Besides, it just so happened yesterday that he came without excuse."

Reyhan clasped both hands. "Don't be afraid. He could no longer enter the office. Because, I've closed all access to him. Relax, yes, dear."

"Sister wasn't lying to me, was he ?"

"No, Honey. I don't want anyone to treat my wife improperly. Because my wife is my honor. If anyone treats you badly. It's the same as him ruining the honor I have."

"Dear, thank you for making me such a special woman. I'm lucky to be your wife."

"I'm very lucky to have you, Al. How good God is to me."

She smiled sweetly at Reyhan. "Izin same Mama and Papa first, yes, sister. Let's not be interrogated with all kinds of questions."

"Yes, Honey. You've made sure nothing's left behind ?"

He nodded.

"Sister," he called.

Reyhan looked at her with a shady look. "It's time to take medicine" he warned. "I'll get it for brother, yeah."

"Thank you very much, dear."

"Other medicines don't forget brother bring, yes. And don't forget to drink later. Can't be late either" he tweeted without pause.

"Yes, Al. Why are you now as hot as Mama ?"

"For the good of my husband" he answered and kissed Reyhan's lips. "Morning kiss" she continued with a smile.

Reyhan shook his head. "Let's get off. Meet Papa and Mama. We're asking permission together."

"All right, my handsome husband."

The two chuckle together.

"Good morning" he said cheerfully.

"Good morning, Nadhira," replied Mama.

"Pa, Mama. Nadhira wants permission to stay at Mother's house."

"Lho why ? Is your mother not okay ?"

"No, Ma. But, tomorrow until the next three Reyhan will go outside the same Bara. So, Reyhan invited Aleea to stay at Mother's house while Reyhan was away" Reyhan explained.

"alright. It's okay, son."

"Thank you, yes, Ma."

"Yes, honey."

"Ma, Mum. Reyhan's leaving now, yeah. An hour to go, there's an important meeting Reyhan has to lead."

"You guys be careful on the road."

"Yes, Ma" he answered along with Reyhan.

"Pa, at two o'clock in the afternoon Reyhan will not come to visit Mr. Chandra's place. Because, Reyhan will prepare everything for tomorrow with Bara and Dad."

"Yes, Son. Its alright. Let Papa take care of everything."

After asking permission from Mom and Dad. He left with a big smile. Can't wait to see Daddy, Mommy and Bara.

He wants to immediately let go of the longing that he has been subsiding on his own. Tells stories of all the events that he met. Even on the strangeness that has recently often happened to him.
