BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

Part 42's

During the day, the whole family decided to go home. Reyhan sat in the back with Syifa. Syifa usually sleeps in Reyhan's lap. But this time, Reyhan who was feverish immediately fell asleep in Syifa's lap as soon as he got into the car.

" Don't go" Reyhan said in his sleep.

" Mas_.." said Syifa slowly.

" Don't leave me," Reyhan returned delirious.

" Fa, Reyhan's body temperature is rising again huh?" ask Sony.

" Yes, sis. Do we just take him to the hospital?"

" No, but we go back to the apartment. Reyhan wouldn't want it if his parents knew he was sick."

" But who's gonna take care of him there? I have to go home, there's some work I have to finish" Ardan said.

" Yes, I also have an operating schedule this afternoon" said Sony.

" Let Syifa take care of Reyhan" Syifa said.

Sony seemed to think then glance through the rearview mirror. He can trust Syifa, but Reyhan? It seems Sony has not trusted 100% to release Syifa alone with him.

" Yes, but_..."

" Yes, sis. Syifa knows what sister means."

After a long journey, they finally reached Reyhan Apartment. Sony tells Syifa to give Reyhan the medicine when he wakes up. He had to rest a lot because he was going to travel a long distance tonight.

" Sister, is Mas Rey able to travel long distances under these conditions?" ask Syifa.

" Easy - hopefully his condition can improve later, brother will be here before Maghrib to check whether it is worth the road or not."

" Thank you, brother. Bang Ardan also.." said Syifa grinned.

After Sony and Ardan left, Syifa approached Reyhan and sat on the edge of the bed. The apartment is quite luxurious and the view is very beautiful to be able to see the city view from the balcony of the room.

This was the first time Syifa had seen such a beautiful scene from such a height that it was enough to horrify her to also imagine if it fell from there.

This apartment is where Reyhan lived since he was Junior High. She rarely goes home because her parents are also often out of town or abroad to take care of her work.

Syifa has been to Ardan and Sony several times, but has never been to Reyhan's house or this apartment. Usually Reyhan who visited Syifa's house just asking for food he said.

If you remember the past, Syifa so remembered with his family life is all right because the father is just an honorary teacher in a private school. Since entering high school, Syifa needs more and more and of course he does not want to add to the burden of his parents. Syifa works part-time after school.

However, since Syifa is close friends with Reyhan, Ardan and Sony, the need for a day to eat is never lacking. His mother also had a large stock of food in the kitchen. If Syifa asks, she says it's alimony from the school where her father taught. It was awkward, but Syifa did not want to bother because she was sure her parents would eat halal food.

Back in the present, Syifa is very lucky because since both her parents died she was met with a new parent who also loved her very much. Syifa never thought that the person who had been taking care of her all this time was Reyhan's parents.

" Why daydream... hmm?" two perfectly circular burly hands in Syifa's stomach made the girl startled. The daydream just disappeared.

" www! Mas... Why surprise me?" sumpul Syifa.

" I called you a few times but you didn't hear me, baby." Reyhan said with a sweet smile. His face was not as pale as it was this morning.

" really? I must be lying,"

Reyhan turned Syifa's body and stared intently at the girl's face. His simple smile gave Syifa a goosebump with her current position.

" Beautiful.I will miss you in every breath." whispered Reyhan.

" Hurry back, Mom. I don't want to be away from you anymore." said Syifa slowly.

" Wherever I am, you will always be in my heart. If you miss me, close your eyes and say my name. Feel my presence in your soul, feel the caress of love in the whirlwind, believe our hearts are fused." - Reyhan.

Syifa was unable to say anything, she simply sunk her face into the chest of her lover's field. The girl sobbed small in Reyhan's tightening embrace.

" Don't cry, baby. Everything must be fine." Reyhan said.

" Did mama mind Mas leaving so soon?" ask Syifa.

" No, you know my position right now. He used to, too, leave me to his responsibility. Now I realize, mom and dad don't not love me. They just want to give me the best possible future, guarantee my life in order to be worthy and get a higher education" Reyhan replied.

Syifa felt Reyhan's forehead to check his temperature. It seemed that the man had gotten better and his body temperature had already dropped.

" It's not hot, I ordered food first yes it's taking medicine again" Syifa said.

" Is.. habit!"

" Hahahaa, you're so adorable, baby. So I'm not willing to leave you here, come with me to New York."

" No, Syifa would rather live with my father and mother than this perverted Mas."

Reyhan kissed Syifa on the forehead at a glance then let go of his embrace and returned to the room. He was looking for a change of clothes in the closet he had left behind for a long time.

" Dear, hurry and order food. I'm hungry, because I want to eat you can't." Reyhan teased.

" Is...What do you want to eat?" sahut Syifa was repulsed by Reyhan's temptation.

" Eat you, please,"

" Your...!"

" Yes, honey. It's up to you, don't sulk dong."

Reyhan rushed into the bathroom to clean himself to make his body fresher. Syifa laid her body on the sofa while waiting for her food to come. Not knowing how long he played the phone, Syifa did not realize that Reyhan had been sitting next to him with two plates of food that were already available at the table.

" Dear, eat first! Play the phone until it's focused" Reyhan said.

" Huh... Did you finish the shower? Why did the food come Syifa did not know?" sahut Syifa was confused.

" You're so focused on your hororm movie that you don't hear from the courier rang the bell." Reyhan rattled his girl's hair in a fit of anxiety.

" Hehehee.. Syifa has not played mobile phones for a long time," Syifa said.

" Here, eat first keep going home. Want to take a bribe?"

" No, Syifa can eat alone."

The two of them immediately ate voraciously as they were already very hungry. Reyhan occasionally feeds Syifa who is still focused on the film on her phone.

After eating, they prepared to go home. Syifa booked a taxi online because she didn't want to bother the house people.

" Dear, have all your things been taken?" ask Reyhan.

" Uyeah, Mas. Didn't you ever bring Syifa here while she was in school? The view from here is so beautiful, it must be nice to stay in this place."

" What would you like to say? Want to be the same, Mom?" goda Reyhan's.

" Isa. can come here with Sony and Ardan."

" But I'd rather be alone with you, baby." Reyhan brought his body closer to the lover.

" What the hell? Back there! Soon the cab is coming," Syifa pushed Reyhan's body.

Instead of retreating, Reyhan grabbed the girl's body and pushed her into bed. Quickly, Reyhan restrained Syifa's body until the girl was shocked.

" Maassa! What are you doing!" peekik Syifa's.

" Do you like it?" goda Reyhan's.

" Detach! Mas outrageous!" sumpul Syifa.

" Didn't you want to make memories here?" whispered Reyhan.

Syifa stared intently at her smiling lover while caressing her cheeks gently.

" What memories?"
