Long Journey of Tough Women
86. The Happiness of the New Bride

Never demand others to make you happy, because we ourselves have to create happiness from ourselves.

Learn to accept and enjoy what you have with gratitude, because only gratitude will make you happier in your limitations. Eda Sally

Yuana was busy cleaning herself up without waking Erik who was still enjoying his sleep. Although she felt pain in all parts of her body, but she also did not want her husband had to be troubled again.

On the other hand, he was also afraid that Erik would ask for more while bathing himself. Therefore, he chose a safe position by cleansing his own body. He also could not bear to see Erik had to wake up and bathe him because last night Erik did not enjoy his sleep at all.

After taking a bath, Yuana returned to reading a book that was not completed yesterday because of her husband. Yuana reluctantly goes out to meet Alika and Habib because of the many stamps that have been lodged in her neck.

Despite wearing a shirt with a collar covering the entire neck, he felt very embarrassed if Habib or Alika would look at his face. Therefore he prefers to drown in the book he is reading.

Erik who was already conscious, directed his hand and fumbled beside him without opening his eyes at all. He thought that Yuana was still sleeping beside him. After a long time of guerrilla hand and finding nothing, Erik opened his eyes and was shocked because Yuana was sitting casually on a chair that was put together with a table and was engrossed in reading.

"Have a shower, baby? Why not wake me up? Is it still sick?" Erik asked in a row as he poked his hands around Yuana's neck from behind and propped his chin on Yuana's head, and gently dyed the girl's head.

"It has. I can't wake you up. You didn't sleep all night, and you still want to sleep. So I took a shower myself. Still hurts a little." Answer Yuana honestly.

"OK! I take a shower, right? Stay here, and don't go anywhere!" Erik said as he peeked at Yuana's head repeatedly then walked into the bathroom. He was afraid that the girl would go a little further out of his sight.

Yuana just nodded in response to Erik's words while continuing to read the book she was holding. He was still a little afraid if Erik hugged him. But everything had happened, and he had to feel used to Erik beside him.

Erik looks fresh and gets more handsome after taking a shower. He pulled one of the chairs and sat down beside Yuana while resting his head on Yuana's shoulder. Yuana only saw it at a glance then continued reading it.

After resting his head, Erik lifted his head and supported him with his other hand resting on the table, and looked at Yuana's face with love. Yuana who was seen continuing like that felt uneasy and put down the book she was reading temporarily.

"Why look at me continue." Yuana asked in surprise at Erik's attitude.

"I don't believe you're really my wife now, and you're in front of me now. It's like a dream." Erik answered honestly while continuing to stare at Yuana's face.

"Hmmm! But..."

"But what? Tell me what's on your mind." Erik asked while his hands were busy with his activities that made Yuana take a deep breath because of her husband's actions.

"I'm hungry. That's what I'm saying." Yuana replied in a hoarse voice because of Erik.

"I'll ask Alika to deliver food in the room only. You wait here." Erik said so, but has not moved at all because his hands are still diligent in activity in his place.

"Don't tell Alika. You're the one who brought it here. I'm ashamed to see Brother Alika and Brother Habib." Yuana replied while bowing her head.

"Thy? Shame on what?" Ask Erik in wonder.

Yuana just shook her head in response to Erik's words. Erik understands Yuana's intentions, but he pretends not to understand.

"Stop your hand. Please!" Yuana said pleading because Erik's hand had not stopped.

"Kiss my cheek, and I'll end my hands." Said Erik.

Yuana looks confused and embarrassed and has not dared to do Erik's request. However, he wanted Erik's hand activity to stop immediately. So he chose to kiss Erik on the cheek.

"The other one hasn't." Erik said while thrusting his other cheek.

"Please enjoy the princess." Erik said as he put the food he brought on the table, and in a very quick motion landed a kiss on the cheek and lip of his wife.

Yuana just smiled looking at Erik's behavior. He immediately grabbed the spoon, but before his hand reached for the spoon, Erik had already preceded him by taking food and directing the spoon that had been filled with food into Yuana's mouth.

"A....!" Erik was about to feed the little boy and asked Yuana to open her mouth.

Yuana was silent for a moment and looked in wonder at Erik, but a few seconds later he opened his mouth and devoured the food Erik was proposing. Erik also took food with the same spoon and went along to eat.

Erik really treated Yuana very well. He continued to feed Yuana until the food on the plate was gone.

After he finished, Erik cleaned up their food marks and took them out. Yuana actually really wants to help clean up, but she is still embarrassed and has not dared to look at the faces of Habib and Alika. So he chose to stay in the room.

Erik immediately returned, and approached Yuana who was just about to reach for the book he had saved to read again. Erik moved quickly and picked up the book before Yuana's hand touched it then rearranged it in place.

"We read another book." Erik said as he carried Yuana to the bed.

"The other book? Which one?" Yuana asked in surprise as Erik took her to bed.

"I'll show you. In a minute." Erik said as he lay Yuana's body gently on the bed, as if afraid that Yuana would be bumped.

"Where's the book?" Yuana asked confusedly.

"This is the book." Erik said as his hands and mouth moved.

Yuana widened her eyes when she realized that what Erik meant was not the same as what she thought.

Furthermore, she just resigned and let her husband do his activities without the intention of stopping the activities that had been half the journey, even she saw Erik was like doing a marathon race.

Why does he like doing it so much? Does he not feel tired? Is it possible that his body doesn't hurt like I do? I really don't understand my husband's wishes and thoughts.

Yuana kept her eyes closed until she felt Erik's hand curled around her waist as he had finished his activities and was lying beside her.

"Thank you for everything, baby. I Love You." Erik's whisper in Yuana's ear.
