Bonds Without Love
ITC #52

Erina shuffled her hair thinking about the stupidity she had done a few minutes ago, Erina remembered the grin that Bhishma showed before leaving the room and it made Erina very frustrated.

Erina should have known that Bhishma's mind would not be as shallow as Leo's mind, it was impossible for Bisma to take Erina to the hospital just to make sure Erina was pregnant or not, it was Erina who thought too far.

Not wanting to think too much about it, Erina finally decided to tidy up her belongings and prepare a change of clothes for Bhishma. Even though Erina still could not help but think about it.

"ERIN?" That heavy voice ripped Erina from her daydream.

Erina quickly turned around to look at the person who called her name, almost Erina fell down, lucky that Bhishma's burly hand could hold her body faster.

Yes, the one who called Erina just now was Bhishma, the man had just returned from the bathroom with just a towel. Bisma smiled looking at Erina's shock face.

"Are you okay?" Ask Bisma.

Erina was silent for a while, she felt her sudden abnormal heart performance from shock. Before long, Erina moved away from Bhishma and turned her face away.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Answer Erina.

Bisma smiled more and more to see Erina misbehaving, then she walked up to Erina and hugged her from behind, so she could smell the scent of his wife's body.

Erina held her breath for a while before commenting. "Don't do this, my lord! What if someone sees?"

Bisma ignored Erina's words, she seemed reluctant to release Erina from her embrace, then Bisma closed her eyes while feeling her heart always beating faster when with Erina.

"The room!" Erina Protests.

"Hm?" Bhishma without opening her eyes, even her hands still faithfully hugged Erina.

"You didn't hear-"

"I miss my mom ..." Lirih Bisma cut off Erina's words.

Erina was silent, she was trying to remember everything they had talked about until Bhishma suddenly said she missed her mother. Erina was already trying to remember, but all Erina remembered was the embarrassing thing about the reason Bhishma had taken her to the hospital. Then what exactly happened?!

"Bisma, what's wrong?" Erina asked softly and impressed cautiously.

"There's nothing." Bhishma answered, then turned Erina's body and hugged the woman's tiny body from the front, then directed Erina's ears to stick to her field chest.

"Erin, can you hear my heartbeat?" Bisma's question diverted without giving the answer that Erina wanted.

Erina wanted Bisma to say what happened, she didn't need the word 'nothing' from her husband's mouth. Because Erina strongly believes that something has happened and Bhishma is trying to hide it.

Erina could hear Bisma's heartbeat rhythmically with her heartbeat, while Erina smiled knowing that, but the next few seconds Erina's smile faded. What does the heart of Bhishma have to do with missing her mother?!

"You're the first woman. Erin, my heart never beats like this before meeting you." Bisma continued her sentence while adding questions in Erina's mind.

Erina took off the Bhishma hand from her waist slowly then raised her face, she could see Bisma smiling with a sad look, very different from the Bhishma who had teased her earlier, Erina was increasingly convinced that something was changing her husband so quickly. But what?!

"House, I'm afraid you catch a cold, you better put on your shirt, I'll go out." Erina said, but before Erina actually left, Bhishma first held her wrist.

"Don't go!" Pinta Bisma quietly, she smiled faintly as Erina looked at him.

Erina complied with Bhishma's request not to leave the room, then after that they fell silent while staring at each other, even Bhishma did not do what Erina told her to do.

Erina will probably sound silly while trying to comfort Bhishma. Besides, Bhishma is not sad because she is breaking up or whatever, she is missing her mother!

"Muil ..." Call Erina slowly. Right now, they are facing each other and looking at each other.

"You ..." Erina again hung up her words because she was hesitant, then Erina cursed herself, how could Bhishma be comforted if Erina was stiff?!

A second later came up with an idea and Erina said. "You just got back from the bathroom just wearing that?"

Erina pointed at the circular towel on her husband's waist, Bisma lowered her head to look at the towel she was wearing with her forehead wrinkled.

"Yes, why?" Bisma asked while putting on a plain face. Bisma looked back at Erina's face, she didn't quite understand the reason Erina was discussing her towel.

"Haish!" Erina snorted and pretended to be annoyed. "You don't remember us being in people's homes?" Ask without answering Bhishma.

"I remember, but why? Erin, what do you want to say?" Bisma asked a little demandingly, she most disliked Erina showing an annoyed face.

"So you intend to show off your body to Soraya?" Erina asked as she shook her head in disbelief, she did not care even though people would find her dramatic.

Erina just didn't like to see Bhishma who always teased her gloomily, even though Erina knew the reason for Bhishma being suddenly moody, but wouldn't it be bad to keep thinking about the person who had died?

Erina understood that Bisma missed the woman who was pregnant and gave birth to her, but Erina still could not like the gloomy face of Bhishma, she preferred Bhishma who always tried to tease her.

Bisma. "What are you saying, Erina?"

"You intend to show off your body to Soraya, am I right?" Erina asked with emphasis, she silently smiled looking at Bhishma's facial expression.

"I intend to show off my body?" Bisma's question did not accept Erina's accusation to him. Erina simply nodded confirming Bhishma's question.

"Don't be silly! Why should I show off my body to your friend?" Bisma's anger paid off with a short kiss that Erina gave her lips, Bisma could feel Erina giving a slight lump, then Bisma saw Erina smiling.

"If you don't intend to show off your body, why would you come back wearing just that? Bhishma, don't you know how to keep your body from being seen by others?"

Erina continued her sentence when she saw Bhishma about to open her mouth. "You'll just be mine, get dressed, you stubborn bastard!"

Bhishma really did not expect Erina to be scolding him like that, after all who was intending to show off the body? Bisma just can't change clothes in the bathroom!

But wait! Bisma didn't hear wrong? Erina just said that Bhishma would only be hers? What does it mean ... Erina jealous? What reaction could Erina now call possessiveness?

"Bisma, if you don't wear your clothes quickly, you're saying you want to show off your body ..." Erina said as she tried to hold back the laughter of seeing the red face of Bhishma.

Erina doesn't know how to comfort Bhishma, but it seems that upsetting or even angry will make the man forget the longing for the mother.

Erina doesn't mind if Bisma misses her mother, she just doesn't want that longing to make Bhishma sad. That'sallthatis.

"Yes!" Bisma is eager to protest, but he chooses to obey his wife, Bisma does not want Erina to think she is trying to show her body to another woman.

Erina finally laughed off seeing Bisma who was in a hurry to wear clothes, Erina felt comforted to see her husband's worries. While Bisma who felt in laughter looked at Erina, she felt that time had stopped for a while.

Bisma is not upset Erina laughs at him, she instead likes to see his wife laugh, but something returns to his mind, Bhishma is reminded of her dream and that makes Bisma miss her mother.

Last night Bisma dreamed of meeting her mother, the dream reminded Bisma of events in the past, when she first saw her mother angry and the last time Bisma felt warmth in her mother's arms.
