Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard - Chapter 99
When it was 01:30 a.m, Bryana, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up feeling nauseous. She had not eaten at all until the hunger ravaged her so badly that she felt a little nauseous because she was indeed in her young pregnancy. She got up from the sofa and walked to the table where the drinks and food were stored.
“I don’t have an appetite, but I have to eat even a little bit,” Bryana muttered while clutching her stomach with a face moaning in pain because her stomach felt as if she was twisted.
Bryana makes a cereal drink with a green bean flavor, then drinks it while sitting on the chair right beside Dean’s bed. She drank the cereal little by little using a spoon while staring at her husband who was not yet conscious.
‘Honey, why aren’t you awake yet? don’t you want to hear happy news about my pregnancy?’ Bryana thought. The fear that Dean wouldn’t wake up again hit her heart. She put the cereal drink on the table, then took her husband’s right hand.
“Honey, wake up and prove that you will not leave me, will not let me be sad again. I can’t live without you. Our kids need you a lot, they love you a lot. Even our children who are still a speck will want your affection.” Bryana said while staring at Dean’s face who looked pale. She rubbed the part of her husband’s head where the bandage was not attached with her right hand while her left hand held her husband’s hand.
Dean was still closed and didn’t show the slightest response. Bryana was crying and lowered her face, using the edge of the bed as a support for her head. She cried while holding her husband’s hand.
“Don’t make me sad, …
don’t make me cry …
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don’t know why…
Keep making me laugh
let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on.
Try to have fun in the meantime… “In her sobs, Bryana was humming softly singing Lana Del Rey’s song “born to die”.
“Come take a walk on the wild side …
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain …
you like your girls insane …
So choose your last words, this is the last time
‘Cause, you and I, we were born …. ” Suddenly Bryana stopped singing because she felt someone touch her head. She straightened her head and looked at Dean who smiled so warmly at her.
“Yes, we were born to die ….” Dean wiped Bryana’s tears. “But I’m not going to die before we get old together,” he continued with a reassuring smile.
Bryana got up from the chair and looked down and hugged Dean, crying. “Don’t be like this anymore, I’m so scared. I can’t imagine how my life would be without you,” she said.
“So do not imagine, because I will still live with you. Look I’m awake, it means I’ll live longer with you,” said Dean as he rubbed Bryana’s back, but he also felt pain all over his body. “Aghhh …. ”
Bryana immediately let go of her hug when she heard Dean moan. “Honey, where is it that hurts? let me call the doctor.”Bryana looked at Dean with great concern.
“My whole body aches and a little dizzy, l I’m okay. Stay here and don’t go anywhere,” said Dean very quietly. His lips looked dry and his body was very weak.
Bryana sat down and took Dean’s hand, then pressed it against her smooth cheek. “I will be here, even since I was always here waiting for you.”
“You’re crying, your face is pale … Have you examiner by the doctor?” Dean asked while looking down at Bryana’s face, which was damp because she had been crying a lot.
Bryana remembered about the check-up with the doctor this afternoon. She smiled at Dean, then got out of the chair and said, “I have something for you. Wait a minute.”
Dean nodded and glanced at Bryana, who was walking towards the sofa. His wife took something from the small bag, then walked back to him.
“Guess what I’ll give you,” Bryana exclaimed with a seductive smile. She put her hands behind her waist.
Dean shook his head with a smile. “I don’t know. Please don’t make me curious!” he exclaimed with a slight groan. Ughh, he was very weak but his wife took him to guesswork.
“How curious?” Bryana asked.
“Very curious,” replied Dean.
Bryana sits back on the chair and puts a small photo on Dean’s right hand. “Look, the baby does exist.”
Dean frowned, then looked at the small photo in his right hand. The photo shows an image of small white dots in a dark gray blurry scope.
“Is this an ultrasound?” Dean glanced at Bryana with a flutter of emotion. “Are you pregnant?” he asked enthusiastically but still weak.
“Yes, there is your child in my belly,” Bryana replied with a sweet smile. Her smile was very cute showing a blush of happiness on her pale face.
“Oh God, I so happy.” Dean looks very speechless. He placed the small photo over his chest, then felt Bryana’s cheek. “Thank you, sweetheart. You have given me such perfect happiness me.”
Bryana took Dean’s hand, then kissed it. “No need to thank you, because I’m also happy with this kid’s presence. I imagine he will be very handsome as you.”
“If she was a girl, she would be beautiful like you.”
Bryana chuckled with amusement. “We’re delusional too far.” Bryana took the little photo and looked at it. “It’s very young.”
“It will grow and make your belly pop,” exclaimed Dean with a laugh, but stopped immediately because his body ached again when he laughed.
“What if my belly pops up? Don’t you like it?” Bryana asked with a probing gaze.
“I’ll still like you, even if your body gets fat, I’ll still love you, ” said Dean, then took Bryana’s hand. “Come here, sleep beside me. ”
“Don’t make it up, I’ll just sleep on the sofa,” Bryana exclaimed as she shook her head at Dean who was getting spoiled.
“I want to sleep in your arms,” Dean pleaded.
“I’m worried to make your body hurt, I’ll just stay here,” Bryana replied.
“I will not be in pain, instead I will be very comfortable if you are beside me.” Dean kept pleading. “Please ….”
Seeing Dean’s pleading, Bryana felt pity. She climbed onto the bed which was quite wide, then lay down beside Dean. Carefully she embraced her husband so as not to cause him pain.
“I’ve hugged you. Are you feeling better?” Bryana asked as She looked at Dean who was also staring at her.
“Yes, maybe tomorrow I will get better,” replied Dean with a smile so warmly, he tried to move his face but his head felt very dizzy and still hurt. “I want to kiss your lips.”
Bryana smiled amusedly and immediately kissed Dean’s lips for a moment very softly. Dean returned the kiss gently too. For a while, they talked about the incident this day, until each of them fell asleep.. whoever fell asleep first, for sure they felt very happy and comfortable even though they only slept on a hospital bed that was not as big as the bed in their room at home.
