Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 83

"So a presentation from me as the CEO of Oktara's Properties. And I thank you for this golden opportunity."

Reyhan closed his presentation with a big smile. A round of applause was also rewarded for him.

"Elo okay, Han ?" bara asked as she managed to sit down and lean back in her chair.

"Gue's fine," she replied.

"Elo's face was pale. Are you sure you're okay ?"

"Yes, Bar." He bit his lower lip withstanding the pain in his left chest and also attacked his arm.

The black thing that coiled in his left hand he lyrics. "I should have taken my medicine" he whispered in his heart.

Bara just shook his head. He certainly understands how his sister-in-law is. Seeing his pale face Bara already understood what was going on with him.

"Dam!"

He looked at it for a moment. Then, bowed down and held Bara's right hand very tightly and firmly. He silently grimaced in pain.

"Elo is honest with me. In fact, I am a person who can not be lying at all," said Bara firmly.

"The meeting will soon be closed. Elo can hold on a little bit, right ?" ask Bara.

He just nodded slowly. Occasionally he wiped away the cold sweat that began to pour out.

"Thank you dear Father and Mother. This meeting will be enough for us to get here."

"Oh!" He took a long breath.

"We're back at the hotel now. And come back home later if you feel okay. I don't want Nadhira to worry about this kind of elo. And I think you want to be just like me."

"Elo take a break first."

"Yes, Bar. Anyway, thank you, yeah. It's helped me."

"Already, Han. Before you became my sister-in-law. Elo was my friend first. So, things like this are very natural for me to do for you. If you need anything, don't tell me."

He nodded.

His eyes he tried to close after Bara came out of his room. However, his thoughts flew over to his wife who he had been living for a few days.

"Oh I completely forgot to tell Aleea. I've been deactivating my phone since morning."

Without caring about the pain. He got out of bed and looked for his phone in his briefcase. Activate and immediately contact his wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum" he said.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered from across.

What he heard was not his wife's voice. However, Mother's voice. The worry came back to him. He remembered when he left yesterday. His wife is in bad shape.

"Mother, Aleea is fine, isn't she ?"

"Yes, Reyhan boy. It's just that he still feels nauseous and dizzy."

"Where is Aleea now, Mother ? Can Reyhan talk to her ?"

"By rest, son. Momentarily wake up, yeah."

A few seconds Reyhan waited for Mommy to build his little wife. He heard a glimpse of the whining sound of the girl who was waiting for his return.

"Huh ? Reyhan's sister called me, Mother ?"

Reyhan chuckled to himself hearing Nadhira's voice across the phone. If Nadhira is near her now. He made sure to pinch his wife's cheeks funny and adorable.

"Yepyahang!"

Reyhan covered his ears hearing the sound of his wife's scream. "Al, don't yell like that, honey."

"When do you come home ? I miss. I want to sleep in my brother's arms."

"Wait, yeah, honey. Today I'll go home for you."

""Hurry home, honey. There's a surprise waiting for you here."

"Because, my wife. I can finish my job quickly."

"My husband is great."

For the first time, Reyhan blushed at the praise. Before, any kind of praise he never felt blushed or proud. He just feels his achievement has not been how much and needs to learn more.

"All this I do for you, my little wife."

"Hurry home, honey. There's a surprise waiting for you here."

"What surprise, dear ?"

"Name it a surprise. Of course I won't tell brother first. It's a secret."

No sound was heard from across. Reyhan suddenly felt worried something happened to his wife.

"Al, you're still there, aren't you ?"

Reyhan stared at his phone which he thought was disconnected.

"Al, what's wrong with you ? You're okay, aren't you ?"

The worry gets stronger. "Al, answer me, dear."

"Aleea!" call Reyhan half yelling.

"Honey," he called out in a limp voice.

"Where are you, honey ? I've called you over and over again but there's no answer. Why are you ?"

"I'm in the bathroom. My stomach is nauseous and my head is dizzy."

"God. I'm going home now."

Without thinking anything. Reyhan stood up and tidied up the things he had brought to the hotel. Get out and knock on the door of Bara's room next to his room.

"The coal!" call him while knocking on Bara's room door.

"Why, Han ? Isn't elo on break ?"

"We're back now. Aleea is sick. I'm afraid something's happened to her."

"Nadhira is sick ? Why didn't Mom and Dad tell me ?"

"See, Bar. I wait in the lobby while you tidy things up."

He rushed to drag his suitcase without saying goodbye. All he thought about was his wife's circumstances.

"Bugh!"

Because, in a hurry. Reyhan hit someone to the point of falling.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" he said, looking down and seeing who he had hit.

"Yes. It's okay."

"Elmeera ?"

The summoned one raised his face. "Reyhan ?"

He quickly helped Elmeera to stand up. "Is anyone hurt, Meer ?"

Elmeera. He had not heard that call for a long time.

"Elmeerah! Are you okay ?" He patted Elmeera's shoulder slowly. Wake the girl from her daydream.

"Oh yes. Why, Rey ?"

"I asked if anyone was hurt ?"

Elmeera shook her head and smiled. "No, Rey. Just falling like that alone can't get me hurt."

The longing he had planted on the girl peaked instantly. Shamelessly he pulled Elmeera's body and grabbed her.

"I miss my little sister, Meer."

Elmeera can't afford to wart. Reyhan's arms were so tightly bound that he was unable to move. There was a sense of comfort and warmth that he had regained.

"Rey," call Elmeera with fear. He saw Bara stopping his steps two meters behind Reyhan. Bara's gaze was so sharp and frightening. He looked at Bara's hands already clenched and whitened.

"Leave it like this for a second, Meer. Let me spill the longing that I have long held in my silence. I missed you, Meer. I miss you."

"Rey, release!" Elmeera slightly rebelled wanting to break away from Reyhan's embrace.

"Just a second, Meer. Please, "he asked, please.

"Rayyhan!"

Bara's screams made him flinch in shock. Suddenly he took off his embrace on Elmeera's body. He looked at the Netra Bara who was looking at him. Bara's fingers were also arrested because of tight fists.

"Bara" he whispered.

"Gue waited in the car," said Bara coldly and passed away leaving her with Elmeera who was still silent without a sound.

"Elmeera, I'm sorry. I gotta go. Give my regards to Madam Shalu. I miss him too."

He stroked Elmeera's hair gently.

"Until we meet at another time, my sister," he said, leaving Elmeera. Following the Bara that has gone first to the car.
