I'm Not Dead, My Husband
Sweet Memories

"Amanda, we live one floor with Firman and Vallen, this is to avoid getting you out of the apartment too long if you need their help" Rayhan said as they walked out of the elevator. Amanda nodded her head.

FLECKISH

Rayhan opened the door to his apartment. "Let's go in, Amanda."

"Yes." Yeah."

They then entered the apartment. Rayhan then brought Amanda's belongings to a room in the corner of the apartment.

"I've put your things in the room, get some rest."

"I'm not sleepy yet, I want to see the night view first. I haven't enjoyed the night view for a long time."

"Yes, please."

Amanda then walked towards the balcony of the apartment, until a while later, Rayhan then approached her. But while standing next to Amanda, Rayhan was so surprised to see Amanda who was sobbing.

"What's wrong with you, Amanda? Why are you crying?"

"I'm fine."

"Do you need a place to lean?"

"Where to lean?" ask Amanda while frowning.

"Are we not friends? If you need a friend to talk to just say your complaint, I'll be a good listener for you, if you need a place to lean on, you can meme..."

Rayhan had not yet finished his words, suddenly Amanda was hugging him and crying on his chest sobbing. Rayhan hugged him back.

'My daughter, never cry again, I get hurt if you cry.' Rayhan murmured while trying to stroke Amanda's hair, but she undoes her intentions.

"That's my words, why are you mimicking my words?" said Amanda moments later in between sobs.

"Am I not your friend? I have the right to imitate my friend's words" Rayhan replied, which made Amanda smile.

"Why are you crying? I thought you were okay. Are you crying for fear of living in an apartment with me?"

Amanda then let go of her embrace to Rayhan.

"I'm just thinking about my son, I miss him so much that I haven't even seen his face since I gave birth to him. And now that I'm cured and out of the hospital, I haven't been able to see him either."

"I know, it must have hurt a lot but you have to be patient, Amanda. One day you will definitely meet your son, for now you must fight first in order to live a happy life with him and with your mother. Sorry for the time being that I have not been able to bring you together with your son, other than considering the safety factor for the two of you, I also do not want your concentration to break and gush only at your son, either, but I promise that in the next few months you've made some progress, I'll soon be meeting you with your son. You understand, don't you, Amanda?"

"Yes Rayhan, I understand, I know that. I also don't want my busy life that I'm going to have in the last few months to bother my son if I force him to stay with me."

"It's good that if you realize it, I just want the best for both of you."

"Yes Ray, I know it's for the good of both of us, all the events I've been through have been completely unexpected, I think Abimana loved me so much, since we were kids, she was like a protector to me, she was like a protector to me, he never let me cry, he never let me get hurt, I really didn't expect, it turned out that it was all a mask."

"Because that's why you used to love her so much?"

"Yes, I used to love her so much that's why I never suspected her, I thought everything she did was for my own good. Not a single thought came to my mind that the doctor I visited every month had conspired with Abimana to kill me slowly, nor had I ever suspected that even though my condition was getting worse every day."

"God loves you so much, Amanda. He saved you and brought you together with the right people. You should be grateful to still be given the opportunity and safety to live this life."

"Amanda, everyone goes through a process in life, and so do you, out of all the things you experience, you also have to go from a weak woman to a tough woman. You understand, right? And we'll all help you."

"Yes, I know that, I will try my best to change myself."

"Yes, we start tomorrow. Learn well to the Word, then three months later after you've been declared one hundred percent cured by Brother David, you can leave the house with Vallen."

"Together Vallen? What's Ray for?"

Rayhan then holds Amanda's shoulder. "Change your look Amanda, sorry I didn't over-regulate you but I just wanted you to look different than before."

"You mean that I look pretty and attractive like Doctor Vallen?"

"You can say that, you have to look different, Amanda. You have to show the opposite of the old Amanda, do you understand?"

"Yes, I get it. Pretty like Doctor Vallen, isn't that Ray? Vallen is a very beautiful woman."

Hearing Amanda's words, Rayhan also looks nervous.

"Is that what I'm saying? Looking pretty like Doctor Vallen?"

"Oh.. E.. Yeah." yeah."

"Why did I say that when Doctor Vallen was so pretty, all of a sudden you felt so nervous, Ray?"

"Oh it's okay. All beautiful women, Amanda. Not only Vallen, but you're also very beautiful. Better get some sleep now, get some rest."

"Well," Amanda answered and started walking to her room.

"Amanda," call Rayhan when Amanda's just walking a few steps. Amanda turned her body back.

"In your room, in the nightstand drawer are some books and papers that I've prepared for tomorrow, you can use those books."

"Good."

"But please don't open the bottom drawer because it's my stuff that I haven't had time to throw away, maybe I'll throw it away tomorrow."

"Yes Rayhan, I'll go to the room first."

"Yes." Yeah."

Amanda then walked away from Rayhan who was still standing on the balcony of the apartment. He then went into his room and laid his body on the bed and tried to close his eyes. But for almost an hour, his eyes were not closed.

"Why can't I sleep?" gerutu Amanda then sat on the bed, until finally his eyes were fixed on the nightstand next to his bed. Slowly, Amanda opened the bottom drawer.

"These books are so thick, they must have been Rayhan's books when he was in college in London" Amanda said, taking a thick book inside the drawer, and then starting to look around the contents. Eventually, he reached the end of the book and saw a photograph.

"Geez, isn't this Rayhan and Doctor Vallen?" amanda said when she saw the photo. Rayhan and Vallen were riding the London Eye's and smiling so happily, Amanda flipped the photo over and saw a piece of writing.

"Sweet Memories with my soul."

'Geez,' Amanda muttered, for some reason her heart suddenly felt so painful, her chest was so tight that without her noticing tears began to pour down her face.
