Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 79

His eyes glazed over Reyhan's back, which was standing at the door of the car. He seemed unwilling to see Reyhan leave even if it was only a few days. She always wanted to spend the second time she had with her husband.

"I'm a." She ran towards Reyhan and hugged her husband from behind. Shedding water that had stagnated in her eyelids

.

"Lho, Honey. Why cry like that ?" reyhan asked with concern.

"Don't go" she said and cried like a child. He tugged Reyhan's old suit of ashes like a child sulking at his parents.

"Yesterday you let me, Al. Why are you crying like this now ? I can't cancel the meeting all of a sudden."

"Hey, spoiled girl! Don't cry like a child. Besides, your husband went to work. Not for other things. You also cry like being left for dead," said Bara half-jokingly.

His cry broke out instantly as he heard Bara's words. He sat down and cried.

"Self, do it like that. Your husband will go to work. It is not good if you cry so," Mother approached and held it warm.

Reyhan pulled her gently from Mother's arms and hugged her. "Darling, I was gone for only three days. But, if my work is finished sooner than I expected. I'll be home sooner."

"really ?" tanyanya stared at Reyhan's black bead.

"Yes, Honey. So, don't cry anymore. Let me just go quietly."

"alright. I won't cry anymore. But, big brother must keep the promise to go home quickly and meet the conditions I gave you yesterday."

"Definitely, Honey. I'm leaving now, yeah."

Suddenly the extreme nausea approached him without excuse. He smothered his mouth with both hands.

"Why are you, honey ?" tabya Reyhan with all her worries.

"Tool!"

He really felt severe nausea. "I'm nauseous."

Mother and Bara soon approached him.

"Why, Dik ?"

His face began to pale a little. "Ah... My stomach feels nauseous. I want to spit out all my stomach. But, I can't," he lamented.

"How can I leave you like this, Al ?"

"No why. I just seem to catch a cold. Go!"

"Are you really okay ?"

He nodded and still smothered his mouth.

"Mother, Reyhan Nadhira, yes. If Reyhan's work is done quickly. Reyhan is back soon."

"Yes, Son. You be careful where people are."

"Yes, Mother."

He rubbed Reyhan's right hand and kissed her. He finds a reply with Reyhan kissing his friendly forehead. Also, the cheeks alternately.

"I'm leaving now. You were fine here while I was staying. Don't bother Daddy and Mommy, yeah, honey."

She nodded with her sweet smile. "Let me know if you've arrived at your destination."

"Yes, honey."

His gaze did not shift away from the burly body that was getting away from his sight. Until the body was lost behind Reyhan's window of a bright red car.

"Let's go in," take Mommy to him.

"Wait until Reyhan's car is out of sight, Bun."

Mommy only assents the wishes of her youngest child. Mommy really understands her feelings that were first left far away by her husband. Because, Mother was in her position at the beginning of the marriage with Father.

"Mother, inexplicably the sister felt very nauseous," he lamented spoiledly to Mother.

"Maybe my sister got in the wind, honey. Let's go in first. Later Mother make a drink that can eliminate a little nausea you."

"Ginger sword, huh, Mother ?" she said cheerfully.

"Of course, hon. Mother will still remember very well what is liked by this Mother's daughter," said Mother and held her. "Although it's been two months never make it for her."

"But why does your face look so pale, son ?"

"No idea, Mother. Brother feels sister's body also feels bad."

He took his mother's hand and entered the mansion filled with memories of his childhood. A place where he found extraordinary comfort that he could not express with a series of special diction. It was also the place he made the first school of his life.

"You rest in the room. Let Mommy make ginger for you first. Mommy will take you there."

He nodded and took his footsteps up the stairs from one to the other. Until he reached the room he used to release the fatigue that ambushed him.

His body he slammed slowly and landed on his soft mattress. He squinted at his temple because the dizziness had started to greet him slowly. His stomach felt in the ravaged until nausea increasingly confine it wildly.

He ran to the bathroom to let out everything in his stomach. Expect the nausea that becomes-so slightly subside. And also the dizziness in his head vanished without rest.

However, nothing came out of his stomach other than the clear liquid that made his mouth taste bitter. He returned to his feet to sleep. Stretching out a body that already feels not okay.

"What really happened to me ? Why is it that this early morning the nausea and dizziness suddenly strike me simultaneously ? In fact, as I remember I never ate any strange food," he said talking to himself.

He tried to close his eyes to reduce the unbearable dizziness. However, the sound of knocking on the room door made him undo his intentions.

Seen Mother entered the room with a small tray containing a cup of ginger wedang with a scent that pierces the senses.

"Wakeup! Drink this ginger first. Hopefully this will relieve some of your nausea, son."

He got up and grabbed the cup that Mother offered for him. The aroma of ginger that is so striking increasingly encourage him to immediately run to the bathroom to vomit his stomach contents.

The cup he held earlier was immediately handed back to Mother. He ran straight to the bathroom.

Seeing it like that makes Mother's panic grow. "Sik, Mommy just take you to the Hospital, yes, son. Mommy feels like something's not okay with you."

He wiped his mouth clean with a tissue that was available in the bathroom. "No need, Mother. It seems like my sister is really catching a cold."

"Minuk wedang ginger can make you better, son."

"But, sister doesn't like the smell, Mother."

"Not the sister really likes wedang ginger made by Mother long ago, son ? So why do you say that now ?" asked Mommy confused at the oddity that happened to her daughter.

"Si don't know, Bun," he said and returned to lay his body that felt bad at all.

"Have you eaten the wrong food before, son ?"

"No, Mommy. Since yesterday the sister always ate the food that Mother made."

Mother felt something strange about her daughter.

"Sister wants to rest for a while, yes, Mother. After feeling a little better then the sister help Mother in the kitchen."

"Goodoo, son. You just rest. Let Mother and Aunt alone cook."

He nodded slowly and tried to close his eyes to relieve the dizziness in his head.

Mother looked at him who had started sleeping. "It looks like Nadhira is pregnant. O God, may what I think be true" whispered the Mother in heart.

He stretched his body which still felt uncharacteristic. However, the feeling of dizziness has begun to subside little by little.

He grabbed his phone and unlocked it. I got a message from Reyhan.

"Hey, wife! Your handsome husband has arrived safely."

Her smile was glistened as she read the short message Reyhan had sent her. He didn't reply to Reyhan's message. But soon she called her husband.

"I miss you" he said before Reyhan said anything.

"Not one day have you missed me, Aleea. Especially tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and so on. But, we feel the same way, honey."

He laughed at Reyhan's words. "Hurry home. I want to hug and kiss my husband immediately."

"Wait, Honey. I'll try to get my job done quickly and go home for you."

He just smiled sweetly. Although her smile was completely invisible to Reyhan.

"Do you still feel nauseous like this morning, Al ?"

"Still, Brother. In fact, I feel dizzy too."

She told him everything she felt without anyone being left behind.

"I hung up, yeah, honey. My stomach was struggling to fill quickly," he said shyly.

Reyhan chuckled at hearing that. "All right, sweetie."

He disconnected the phone quickly and immediately got out of the light blue room. Go down the stairs and meet Mommy in the kitchen.
