New Breath
Chapter 52's

In case yesterday Papa visited his middle child's room out of curiosity and a little worry. Tonight, the half-century-plus man did the same, but with the aim of making sure Farhan had gone home and rested well. The man in his pajamas took his footsteps to one of the rooms on the same floor as the one he shared with his wife after completing some office work in the workspace. As before, Papa knocked first the door of Farhan's room while saying, “Farhan, this is Papa.”

There is no such thing as last night. In fact, the clattering of footsteps was not caught by the sense of hearing. Papa then ventured to turn the doorknob without the permission of the room owner. The first thing to welcome Papa was a dark room. There was only the lighting from the outside lights that swerved up from the crack of the door that Papa's hand opened. Then, Papa's forehead shriveled inside. With one hand Papa touched the wall to find the light switch and turned it on. Slender.

Papa is getting confused. He lifted his head to look at the clock on the wall of his middle child's room. It's been eleven o'clock in the evening. Farhan has not yet returned home. Is the child in the office alone? Papa wondered to himself. Because, thinking that Farhan was wandering like before is impossible. The second son from his marriage to Mama had never done that again after he was dragged to work in the same office with the eldest. Maybe later after returning to the room, Papa could call Farhan and ask where the boy was, Papa thought.

When he was about to turn around to get out of Farhan's room. Inadvertently his gaze fell on an object on the table beside the son's bed. Papa's eyebrows swooping in. Armed with curiosity about the object, Papa undoes his intention outside, he actually brought his feet moving closer to the table. He had a small bottle which he believed to be a medicine bottle. But what is oba tapa?

In a few moments Papa looked at the object with a mind that floated far away. Because medical is not the field to make Papa not find any answers. However, the man's intelligent brain moved quickly to provide stimulus for his hand to grasp the object. Then, he intends to save it and will take it tomorrow to the hospital for him to check. So, he no longer wondered what medicine had been consumed by Farhan. And in the deepest part of the heart, Papa hopes that all he finds is a bottle that is a container of vitamins and not a container of medicine for very serious diseases. Yeah, I hope so.

Papa returned to move a pair of legs towards the room. In front of the door he stood for a moment. Then, he raised his hand which was holding the bottle. Stared at the object while wondering. What is this drug exactly?

In the room, he found his wife asleep. Very slowly Papa went up to the bed so that his wife's sleep was not disturbed. After that, he did not lie down. He looked back at the thing in his hand. There is a silent fear of sneaking into the recesses of Papa's heart seeing that thing. Should he be said to be traumatized, because every month he had to see such a bottle when taking stock of drugs for the firstborn?

Papa immediately kept the object behind his back when Mama suddenly woke up. “Mama why wake up? Continue to sleep,” said Papa while touching the top of Mama's head gently.

“Papa why haven't you slept too?”

“Iya, Ma, this is Papa going to bed.” Papa then laid his body beside Mama. Cuddled the body of the wife to provide comfort to the woman, until Mama again clenched her eyes to then back anchored themselves in the dream realm.

Different from Papa. The man did not find calm. He still thinks about his middle son. What the hell's going on? Is there anything serious that Farhan has been hiding all this time?

Still on the same roof, but in a different room. Apparently, it's not just Papa who thinks about Farhan. Reyhan is like that too. Although he had found calm after the relationship Papa and the younger brother began to improve. However, Reyhan could not calm down if he thought about Farhan's condition. Either his feelings or how, the more days his sister looked thinner. His sister's face was also more often pale. Just like he used to be before undergoing heart surgery.

“Kak, you why? Let's sleep. It's late,” said Nadhira who still found her husband has not closed his eyes. In fact, it was Reyhan who invited him to rest early. In fact, the man had not yet slept.

“I'm still thinking Farhan, huh, honey? I felt like he was hiding something like that,” Reyhan told his wife. He never revealed his head to anyone else, except Nadhira. After all, to whom could he be as comfortable as this story if not to his wife? Papa's? Papa thought the same thing about him. The mama? Reyhan is afraid if Mama thinks and interferes with his health condition.

Nadhira thought, Reyhan doesn't want to talk about it anymore. In fact, he was wrong. Reyhan just kept it in his head, then said it later when it was cramming. Yes, Nadhira understands how Reyhan is now. If she is in the position of her husband. Maybe he would do the same.

Nadhira wrapped her hands around Reyhan's stomach. “Kak, tomorrow Brother can talk about it with Farhan. Who knows Farhan's honest with you, brother. Remember that! Sister is the only person who makes her comfortable for the story, ‘kan?”

Reyhan certainly very justified the words of his wife. Farhan was quicker to tell him than anyone else. In fact, on Papa and Mama though. Maybe tomorrow he will try his wife's advice. Ask her nicely and ask her to be honest with her. Pity Farhan if indeed the child is facing problems, but there is no place to share.

“Rest, yes, Darling. Anyway if you want to talk now, Farhan must not have come home. He's gonna be overtime with Mas Tio.” Nadhira tried to remind her what her husband said earlier.

Reyhan's breath was heard. Then he nodded his head. Then, he changed his position by sleeping sideways until his gaze met each other with a pair of beautiful eyeballs owned by the wife. The man smiled sweetly. He played his fingers on Nadhira's face gently. “I'll sleep when you're asleep,” Reyhan said. As usual, he would wait for the woman to fall asleep first. Then he followed later.

Nadhira nodded. Then he tightened his embrace on Reyhan's body.

“Nice dream, My wife,” said Farhan and kissed his wife's forehead.
