Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 94

He turned the door knob with one hand that was free from a tray filled with white water as well as a small plate with white granules inside. His smile expanded when he found Reyhan was focusing on the laptop in front of him in the old ash room. Reyhan's private room.

"Hey!" greet Reyhan upon seeing his arrival.

"It's time to take some medicine, honey," she said, putting a tray on her husband's desk.

"Thank you for reminding me."

He gave her water and the small grains she brought to Reyhan.

"Here you go" Reyhan said with a smile.

His eyes fell on all corners of the room. Like looking for something.

Reyhan who saw his wife's behavior then laughed small and almost inaudible. "What are you looking for ? The box you found at the time ? I threw it in the trash, honey."

She smiled shyly. Then, turn around Reyhan's desk and stand right behind her husband. She put her hand around Reyhan's neck.

"Honey ?". call him spoiled.

"Why ? There's gotta be a need" Reyhan guessed.

He looked at Reyhan's face looking up at him timidly.

Reyhan turned the chair he was sitting in and faced his wife. "You want what ? Just say it, honey!"

"Sister will fulfill my wish ?"

"of course. All I can."

"alright. Now finish all your work. I'll wait."

"I was able to finish it after fulfilling my beautiful wife's wish" Reyhan said, pulling Nadhira's body. Grip her and kiss repeatedly the stomach that still looks flat.

"If so, now come with me down."

Reyhan immediately stood up and embraced the small body before him. "I'll follow wherever your footsteps take me."

He chuckled and stepped out of the old ash room.

One by one the stairs at his foot with Reyhan. Sometimes he laughs and hears Reyhan's jokes.

"Not to the office, Brother ?" asked Farhan who suddenly protruded from the living room.

"Ask your brother-in-law, Farhan," Reyhan replied, glancing at the woman holding his hand.

"Oh... So because Nadhira won't allow it. Therefore, brother did not go to the office today ?"

"Indeed who else could ban brother and sister should obey besides him ?"

"Gee... Good job, Brother Nadhira."

He laughed at Farhan's words. "The cup is now I've got a cabal friend. How about, Farhan ?"

"Of course, sister-in-law. Hopefully we can be a solid team."

He came back laughing. He was followed by Farhan.

"Oh, God. Is this one karma for me that laughed at my sister-in-law yesterday ?" reyhan said as he stared at the ceiling of the room.

"Eat him don't upset older people too often."

"That sentence you should have said to yourself, Al. Gosh."

"alright. I won't comment anymore."

"And you Farhan. Soon you will be recommended to enter the company. Help brother."

"But, Brother..."

"sorry. Brother didn't accept any rejection."

Reyhan pulled his little tanga slowly leaving Farhan mumbled in annoyance. I don't know what kind of word for word that his sister-in-law smoothly said.

"What do you want, Al ?"

"I want to drink hot chocolate made by my sister. Can you, yeah ?"

"Huh ? I can't make hot chocolate, Al. Besides, as far as I know you can make it yourself."

"I want to be made sister," he whined.

"But, I really can't make it, honey."

"This is our son's wish, honey. How ?"

Reyhan sighed. "alright. For your sake I'll try to make it."

She smiled and kissed her husband's cheek briefly. "Thank you, Papa."

The dinner was going on solemnly. No talk was made. As always.

He closed his mouth and nose at the same time as the smell of food on the dining table gushed into his sense of smell. Her stomach was churned when a plate of white rice was served to her by Reyhan.

"Eat!"

"No. All of these foods do not smell very good. And this rice makes my stomach nauseous."

"Han! It's common for pregnant women, son. So, you have to understand the condition of your wife," said Papa softly to the eldest child.

Reyhan was silent for a moment.

"What do you want to eat now, Al ?"

"I don't want to eat. I want to go to the room" he said and waltzed away.

Reyhan ruffled his hair in frustration. "Mistaken speech just a little already sulking like that. Wrong behavior a little merciless rage. Jesus," dumel Reyhan after Nadhira leaves the dining room.

"Papa said. It is common for pregnant women. You must understand and be patient with it."

"Now just follow your wife to the room" Mama advised Reyhan.

Reyhan ran after him who had arrived in the room. Lay down the body and cover it entirely with a thick blanket.

"Darling," call Reyhan gently.

"Eat first, yeah. Pity our son if you don't feed him tonight. You want our son to starve in your stomach ?" reyhan persuaded him.

He looked at Reyhan. "I want to eat. But, it must be my sister who bribes me. How ?"

"Yes, Honey. What do you want to eat ? Tell me."

He tapped his index finger on his forehead. Trying to think about what to eat.

"I want to eat toast."

"alright. Wait I'll go out and buy you."

"No. I want our toast."

Reyhan just nodded.

"Wakeup! We go down and make it downstairs."

He rose up quickly. "But, can you hug, no ?"

"Byeah, sweetie."

She hugged her husband's body tightly.

"Silver looks skinny. Am I right or am I just feeling, sister ?"

"Just feel it, Al," Reyhan replied lying. What his wife said was true. The more days his athletic body gets thinner in gerogoti disease.

"Hopefully."

He's tangled up in Reyhan's arms. "Darling ?" Her gaze shaded towards her husband.

"Yes, Honey. Why ?"

"It's healthy, yeah. So that someone with me takes care of our son."

"Of course, hon. I will always be healthy and well. You and your child are my spirit. Therefore, never leave me."

"Never be afraid. I will always accompany you in good circumstances. I will always be by your side."

"Thank you, yeah, honey. I'm grateful to be given a wife like you."

"I am so grateful to be your wife."

Arriving in the kitchen. He was looking for bread that he would turn into the food he now wanted. With Reyhan he prepared all the tools and materials used.

Along with jokes and laughter he made toast. No matter what it feels like. All she knows is how she tried together to fulfill her unusual desire after getting pregnant young.

"Then I'm pregnant. I've always wanted something weird sometimes, brother. I'm surprised" he tweeted suddenly.

"I feel the same way happened to you, Al. But, after I told Mama. Turns out it's common for pregnant women like you, honey."

"Are you not tired of seeing me like that ?"

"Sometimes," Reyhan replied with a big smile.

"Yetoo!" he shouted loudly and threw the spoon he held towards Reyhan.

"What's up ?" ask Mama who came in panic. "What happened to Nadhira, Reyhan ?"

"Oh sorry, Ma. Nothing serious happened" Reyhan replied.

"Why is Nadhira yelling like that?"

"He's just upset pa Reyhan. Just look! Even the spoon he held was thrown into Reyhan."

"God! You guys are just freaking Mama out."

"I'm sorry, Ma" he said regretfully.

"Yes already. Just continue what you want to do. Mom go to the room first." Mama shook her head and passed away leaving the young couple.

"Look, Al! Because, you're Mama's panicking."

"Don't blame me. Brother who pisses me off."

"alright. I just give up. I don't want to argue about anything with you."
