The Melody of Farewell: The Last Song
CHAPTER 06 Dissonance of Love and Hope

Although Andra loved Nadira very much, he did not fully agree with Nadira's relationship with Raka. As an overprotective older brother, Andra worries that the relationship will shift Nadira's focus away from her music and studies.

"Andra, I love Raka," Nadira said one day, trying to explain her feelings to her brother.

"I know that, Nadira," answered Andra, "But you're young, and you have a lot of other things to focus on now."

Nadira was frustrated by her brother's attitude. She knows that Andra is just trying to protect her, but she also feels that she has the right to make her own decisions about her life.

"Maybe you're right, brother. But this is my life, and Raka is an important part of it" Nadira said firmly.

Andra fell silent, looking at her sister who had grown into a strong and independent young woman. Finally, he sighed and nodded. "I understand, Nadira. I'm just worried about you. But if you're sure about this, I'll support you."

With Andra's blessing, Nadira was relieved. He knew that the path he chose would not be easy, but with the support of the people he loved, he was confident that he could deal with it.

Well, here is Chapter 8 of the novel about Nadira Oktavia, which focuses on the relationship between Nadira and her brother, Andra.

Andra and Nadira have always had a strong relationship. Since childhood, they have always been with each other, through joys and sorrows, through jokes and tears. Although they are different in many ways, there is one thing that has always kept them together: their love for music.

Andra, though not a pianist, is a talented guitarist. He was the one who first introduced Nadira to music, playing classical songs on guitar while Nadira sat down and listened in awe. That was the beginning of Nadira's love for music, and the beginning of their inseparable bond.

When their mother gets into an accident, Andra and Nadira become closer than ever. They spent a lot of time together in the hospital, often playing music together to entertain their mother. Andra on the guitar, Nadira on the piano, they created a beautiful duet that helped them all through the hard times.

"So proud of you, Nadira," Andra said one night after they finished playing. He looked into his sister's eyes, loving and proud. "You grew up to be a strong and talented woman. Don't let anything get in your way."

They hugged each other, feeling warmth and affection for each other. That's the moment they remember forever, the moment when they feel closest, most connected, through music and their affection for each other.

After a few months, their mother's condition began to improve. Although he was still weak, he started talking and moved a little. However, the better news is that she is starting to recognize Nadira and Andra again.

When Nadira and Andra heard this news, they felt relieved and happy. They hugged, cried and laughed in one emotional moment.

However, despite the good news, they know that their mother's path of recovery is still long. They decided to stay strong and optimistic, for their mother and for themselves.

Andra, who had always been a pillar of strength for Nadira, began to show signs of exhaustion. He has worked hard to support their family, and the pressure is starting to show.

Nadira, seeing this, decided to do more to help. She begins to take on more responsibilities at home, helping Andra with housework and taking care of their mother.

One day, while Nadira was cleaning the house, she found an old notebook in Andra's closet. In it, he found a number of musical compositions written by Andra. Nadira was surprised and impressed by her brother's talent.

Nadira decides to play one of Andra's compositions on the piano. As she played a beautiful melody, she felt connected to her brother in a way she had never felt before.

When Andra came home and heard her music playing, she was shocked and moved. He approached Nadira, smiling widely. "You found it" she said, "I wrote those songs for mom. I hope someday he can hear it."

From that day on, Nadira and Andra started playing music together more often. They share their love for music, and through music, they find ways to overcome their grief and hope.
