A Story About Us And Taste
#59
“What to wait for me like this first new brother will meet me?” said Tama with teary eyes
Ari looked down and did not dare to look at his sister. Slowly Tama approached Ari and hugged her
Nala just looked at the two people in confusion.
“I'm sorry.” said Ari
Tama tightened her embrace
“Please don't dodge anymore.” look at Tama with Ari's smile
Nala was still standing in front of the door
“Honey, please.he's my brother..” Tama said
Nala was shocked and confused. Ari shook her head slowly at Nala giving the code.
“Oh yes.. greetings know brother.” said Nala awkwardly greeting Ari
“Greetings..” Ari's awkward smile
“Hemmh, I'm out for a minute huh? Brother please sit.” smile Nala then he rushed away.
Nala walked slowly down the hall, still thinking about Ari who had suddenly become her sister-in-law who a week ago introduced herself as her father-in-law's secretary.
On the other hand,
Ari and Tama sat facing each other.
“I just want you to know before I take action.” Ari
Ari tells Tama if Mr. Dany asks him to take care of Tama's resignation.
Tama was silent thinking of Ari's words.
“Do not think I will go again.” said Ari staring at Tama
“Until when will you think if I choose to work elsewhere because of the trash talk of those people?” tempered Tama
“They also have a point..”ucap Ari
“Kak.. I'm sister brother, mami papa Vio. we are your family, not other” said Tama lowered her tone
“Definitely at my wedding my sister did not come, right?” ask Tama slowly
Ari was silent
“If you still think of me as your sister, please choose which path I should take.” continued Tama

Thirty minutes later, though,
Nala went into the room and only found Tama sitting on the sofa
“Loh Ari's brother is gone?” ask Nala
“Iya darling.” smile Tama
Nala then put some food and drinks into the refrigerator. There was something strange about her husband.
“What's the matter dear?.” asked Nala and sat down next to Tama
Tama nodded and smiled
Nala looked at her husband closely.
“You know mas, if you can't lie to me the most?” nala's Smile
Tama smiled stroking his wife's hair
“Papa wants me to quit my job to focus on treatment.” said Tama who surprised Nala
“Then? Do you want it?” ask Nala
“Entah.. What do you think?” ask Tama
Nala knows very well that Tama loves her job. However, the decision to stop for the sake of recovery of her husband was certainly a good thing.
“I will support whatever your decision mas.” smile Nala
Tama looked at Nala
“In fact, the decision is in the hands of Ari.” he said
Nala frowned, not understanding
“Kok on sister Ari?” ask Nala
“We'll see, what he'll do.” Tama's smile
“I don't know..” said Nala
“Hemmh.. mas, who exactly is Ari's sister?” ask Nala
“On the day of your accident, he met me in front of the ICU room. He introduced himself as papa's secretary. But there is something awkward, he looks very worried about your condition at that time.trus today you introduced him as a sister?” nala
“Really?” Tama was surprised
Nala nodded
“Even brother Dimas said if brother Ari continues to watch us from a distance.” said Nala
Tama was silent, then she rushed up and contacted someone
Nala only saw her husband's strange gurgle.
Tama drowned on his stool and hung up his phone.
Nala slowly approached Tama
“Mas?.” Nala rubbed her husband's handsome face
“I was even rude to the end.” said Tama slowly
Nala stared fixedly at Tama who looked very sad
Slowly, Tama recounts who Ari was to Nala and what happened to them all along.
“Papa and mami are very angry with the people who hurt sister, they fight all. Growing up, Ari had her own thoughts.he went to college abroad and left us here. He disappeared, even papa people are very difficult to find him.”
“Until one day, Papa was very sick at the thought of Ari's brother who never came home. And yaa. like today, suddenly it comes approaching.” Tama looked at his wife
“Papa used his illness excuse to keep brother from leaving again. Finally, brother collapsed and decided to follow whatever papa's wishes.
He now takes care of the papa company in Jakarta. But, he turned into someone else. He's not calling papa and mami like he used to. He considers himself only papa.” officer
“Even since his arrival.he never once came home and met me, he could always get away if I looked for him.. Vio had only been around for a few years now knowing that he had another brother..
Today, is our first meeting after almost nineteen years he left.” Tama's gaze was empty
Nala hugged her husband, she did not expect that Tama had a deep wound in her life. The one who always smiles and always becomes the sun for him.

Nala sat in the hospital garden chair. He looked at the business card Ari had given him.
Nala nervously tried to call the number.
Tutt…
“Hallo.” Greet someone across there
“Hallo brother, this is Nala..” said Nala slowly
Ari who was checking the files stopped her activities.
“Nala? What was? Is Tama okay?” tannya
“Iya mas Tama is fine.” said Nala
Ari let out her breath of relief
“What's Nal? Can I help you?” tanyanya curious
“Hemhh.. does sister have time? There's something I want to talk about.” said Nala doubtfully
Ari thought for a moment
“Alright, later in the afternoon I'm at the hospital.” Ari
“We met in cafeteria aja yes kak?” nala
“Alright.” said Ari then hung up
Tomorrow morning you are allowed to go home. Nala wants to talk to Ari before she gets home and it might be hard to get back together.
Nala went back to her room. He tidied up some stuff for his return tomorrow.
Nala's family returned to Bandung a few days ago.
Nala has to go back to work, while Tama will be guarded by nurses who come to their house every day and ART at the lake house.
In the afternoon,
“Mas, I'm going to the cafeteria for a second huh? You want something?” ask Nala
Tama looked towards the table
“There's still plenty of food here, do you crave something dear? Let me tell people to buy it later.” Tama asked
“Engga mas, let me just. I also feel a bit dizzy if always silent.” smile Nala.
“Hmm.. Alright, be careful.” smile Tama
Nala rushed to the cafeteria. He hopes to get answers to all his questions. Nala sat at the end of the room while waiting for Ari to come.
