New Breath
Chapter 9's


“You go straight back to the hospital again, Nak?” mama asked when the car that Farhan drove to take her stopped in the courtyard of the big and luxurious house. Mama looked at Farhan fixedly. The child's face is getting more and more slender, thought Mama. However, the next second Mama thought that maybe her second son was on a diet.


Farhan turned to Mama after turning off his engine. He gave the sincere smile he had for the great woman who gave birth to him. “You change clothes for a minute, Ma. After all, Finza if you have gathered together Brother Nadhira and Mbak Mikayla must be at home for a long time,” replied Farhan accompanied by his small laughter. What he said was not a fabrication. That is how the three women met. Because also because they have each other's lives since very rarely have time just to gather and joke. And now is the perfect time for Farhan to let Finza enjoy being together with his two best friends.


Mama nodded in understanding. He knew that his middle child was indeed a type of understanding person. The proof, Farhan always understood and understood why Reyhan was always the number one in his family. If you remember the position. Farhan and Reyhan had a similar position as children. Dab Farhan deserves what his brother gets. However, the man never demanded anything. “Farhan,” call Mama with a fixed gaze falling on the face of the son.


“Why, Ma?” farhan asked with a smile that had not been dated to decorate a handsome face, but looked more and more tapered.


“If you have a problem. Can you ‘kan the same story Mama? Kayak Brother who often tells stories, even for random things,” said Mama. His words this time sounded more like a plea. Mama felt like she wanted to pay a lot less time for Farhan. Because, the time that Mama has more she spends on her firstborn. In fact, even the youngest Mama still often leave it to the baby sitter. But now is the time for my mom to pay for it. Because, the firstborn has found a home to go home, namely Nadhira.


Farhan lowered his head to avoid the glare from Mama's pair of round eyeballs. He could have accepted his mother's request. However, it will definitely never be able to open up like Reyhan. The tall and strong wall was already awake. It was difficult for Farhan to break through those boundaries. Anyway, for what? Farhan was mature enough to deal with the problems that often approached him. In fact, when Farhan was at his lowest point when the doctor's verdict was heard. The man who soon turned twenty-one years old was still able to stand firm until now. Although he only really has one person who knows the true condition. A person who even selflessly took care of him while lying weak, namely the brother-in-law.


“Dong sure, Ma. Who else could Farhan tell if not Mama? Papa?” Farhan laughed mirically. “It has not been a secret of the people at home ‘kan how Farhan relationship with Papa,” continued Farhan. Let alone Mama, even the housekeepers know how the estrangement between Farhan and his father.


Mama gently stroked Farhan's arm. “Sorry Mama, yes, all this time did not pay much attention to you.”


“Ma, don't talk like that. Mama has done her best for Farhan.”


Mom smiled. How kind of a heart Farhan. A child he almost forgot because he focused on the firstborn.


...♥♥♥...


Farhan opened a room where his brother was. The room is designed exactly like a hospital room. There she finds a nun paid by her family to look after and monitor Reyhan's condition. Farhan gave his sweet smile to the woman after the all-white clothes. “Excuse me, Sus. Can I see Brother?” asked Farhan politely.


Farhan nodded and let the woman commonly called Beautiful Sister leave him. Then, closed the door of the brother's room very tightly so that his voice did not reach outside.


On the lip of the bed Farhan landed his butt slowly. He looked at the face with the eyelids still closed belonging to the man who lay weak. Instantly Farhan shuddered in horror at the medical devices attached to his brother's body. Tools he doesn't even know his name. Fill his head violently guerrilla think of his fate that maybe someday will be the same as the brother. Been peaceful for a long time. Or even fall asleep and never wake up again. Then, the father's hatred will be buried with his body.


A long and tired breath was heard repeatedly and clashed with the patient monitor connected to Reyhan's body. Should be the thoughts that seem disturbing that Farhan should not be present in his head. Because, it will affect his condition that he feels more and more not okay.


“When to wake up? There are many things that Farhan wants to tell you with Brother,” said Farhan after a long silence enjoying the silence with the accompaniment of the monitor's voice. He smiled smirk. I do not know how many times he said the same sentence when entering the room that is exactly like the hospital room.


Farhan let out a long breath. He improved his position to make it more comfortable. Then, again looked at the face of his brother who looked so peaceful. If only the peaceful face was always seen when his brother's pair of eyelids were not clenched. Maybe Reyhan will be able to enjoy quietly every ticking second. Not just afraid because of the time bomb lodged in his body.


"Sister, Farhan's tired. Farhan wants to stop off this road. It's too hard for Farhan to be able to blend into a circle that even Farhan never thought would be stuck like this before" Farhan lamented. Even what he said would not reap any response from his brother. However, let. For Farhan now just want to spill the burden that he bears.


"Wake up, yuk, brother! Help Farhan get off this line. Only Big Brother can save Farhan's position," continued the black-spirited man. His vision began to blur as the gradation of water created in the eye pelupuk.


Farhan's hand moved wiping away a drop of collapsed tears without excuse. She cried. Again. And it was only in front of the man lying helpless that Farhan dared to spill the clear crystals from his pair of neutrals.


"Until when will Brother be like this? Brother want to wait for Farhan to go first and Brother woke up?"


I don't know what prompted Farhan to say that. The words flowing from his lips sounded tired. Yes, the man was too tired to have to follow the groove made by the father. He should be his father's puppet. And of course the worst is that Farhan will be the best outlet for Papa.


Vibrate the phone from the pocket of the jacket that wraps around its body so clearly felt. Farhan grabbed the square-shaped flat object from there. Then, look at the Caller ID listed on the phone screen. He could only sigh deeply without intending to answer the phone call. Farhan knew what the caller wanted to talk about. That's why Farhan was acting ignorant.
