Being an Eye to My Husband
CHAPTER 13

"Come, Airi!"

Hearing White shout scream calling her name, Airi who was drying clothes in the back of the night immediately ran towards the room. From her voice, there was panic, Airi was afraid something might happen.

"Water!"

"Yes, Bang," said Airi as she ran towards the room. On top of the bed, White looks frightened while hugging both knees. Soon Airi approached and hugged her. "It's Bang, Ai's here." He could feel White's rapid heartbeat. "Any more nightmares?"

White simply nodded, his body still trembling and his face pale. I don't know how many times the nightmare greeted White, making her restless every time she went to sleep.

"I've called you so many times, why don't you just come over? I'm afraid of Ai." White's voice still sounded trembling.

"I'm sorry Ai Bang, sorry." Airi tightened her embrace. In his heart, he cursed himself who was hanging clothes behind while listening to music and singing. He should have put off homework, sat down next to White and waited for her to wake up.

Airi took the bottled mineral water over the nightstand and opened it and handed it to White. "By drinking first." White immediately drank the water to a bottle and handed it back to Airi.

"I'm afraid of Ai, I'm afraid of silence. I am afraid when I feel alone. It's all dark, I'm alone."

Airi bit her lower lip to hold back the crying. His guilt is growing. The man who was once brave and full of confidence, now turned into a figure who was timid and did not have confidence, even to meet people alone, he did not dare.

"Do we need to go to a psychologist?"

White shook his head, "I don't want to."

...----------------...

If White would normally stay in the room while Airi was cooking, this morning she went into the kitchen. More precisely waiting at the table because between the kitchen and the dining table there is no partition.

Knowing that if White was afraid during the silence, Airi was talking more and more now. Even when cooking like this, his mouth keeps blabbing.

"Udah kecium has not yet Bang aroma, I again saute this spice. Want to make your favorite broccoli oseng Brother."

"Yes, I smell good."

"Bag to know, the broccoli is so big, the color is green, there is no yellow at all. And now, I'm getting into the frying pan." There was the sound of a spatula clashing against the frying pan. The sound used to be normal, but now it sounded calming to White. Hearing this sound, he did not feel alone.

Airi took a little scooped up then blew it cold and carried it to White. "Try Brother tasting, it's not yet taste?" The moment White opened her mouth, Airi immediately bribed her. "Where, is it good yet? Do I need to add salt?"

"It's delicious" White said after swallowing her food.

"Now just fried chicken, after that we have breakfast." Airi returned to the cook and finished her work.

"Ang, do you want thighs, chest or wings?" the question is when you want to put pieces of chicken into the frying pan whose oil is hot.

"Wings."

"Don't change, the feeling every day wing mulu. Thighs to not? Thighs are good."

"Thigh is your favorite." White began to memorize one by one Airi's favorite. How not, now Airi continues to babble to tell anything to make the atmosphere not quiet. In addition to his favorite foods, White also began to know the colors of Airi's activities, films, books, and whatever his favorite. Even the number of his shoes, White knows.

After all the food was on the table, they started to eat breakfast. Now, White was used to eating by hand, according to him it was easier to be able to arrange the rice and side dishes that would enter the mouth.

"Bang, next week, we'll go for a walk?" Airi did not get tired of persuading her husband. "The promise will continue to hold the hand of Brother. I won't let go for a moment. Brother wants to, right?"

White continued eating, not responding to Airi's words at all.

"All right."

It was incomparably happy for Airi to hear White's approval. Eventually his efforts bore fruit. I can't wait to get to Sunday and take him for a walk in the park.

...----------------...

At night, White began to fidget when she wanted to sleep. He was afraid that the nightmare would come back. And at such a time, Airi would climb up onto the bed and hold her hand. "Sleep, Ai will take care of Brother. Airi's here, she'll never leave you." For a few nights it's always been like that. White always clasped Airi's hand when she wanted to sleep. Only when she was fast asleep would Airi get out of bed and sleep downstairs as usual.

But tonight, as the intensity of the dream grew more frequent, White found it hard to sleep.

"Come, sleep in bed with me from tonight."

"Hah," Airi was immediately flabbergasted. Didn't he hear wrong.

"I feel more comfortable when you're near me."

"If that's what you want, Ai will sleep in bed." Airi who usually just sat down and let White hold her hand, this time began to fall next to White.

"Don't you mind if I hug you?"

Airi tilted her body, grabbed White's hand and placed it on her waist. "Of course not." Let alone being hugged, Airi had already broken her heart and body to White since the man had officially married her.

"Ai, do I look so pathetic?"

Airi hated that question. How not, his tears would instantly melt upon hearing White's helplessness. And the guilt will be even greater.

"Do you want me to read a fairy tale to go to sleep?" Airi switched the topic of conversation.

"You think I'm a baby?" suhut White who was immediately greeted with laughter by Airi.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm still reading fairy tales with my mother."

"Ck, must be lying."

"Hahaha, how do you know?"

"Sucks."

"Gosh, I miss that word. It feels like you haven't told me that for a long time."

White clucked violently due to Airi's thud.

"I told you about Snow White?"

"Whatever," White doesn't care anymore. Right now the most important thing was that he wanted to go to sleep immediately.

Airi took a cell phone and looked for Snow White's story and read it with intonation like a mother who was telling a story.

When White's breathing started to get regular, Airi stopped telling stories, because that meant, White was already sleeping.

"Ai, promise will always take care of Brother and there for Brother." White kissed White's old forehead. "Great dreams Bang."
