"Dear, Baby!" call out to Dania while shaking the stone body of Daniel who was asleep beside him.
Daniel, who had just entered his dreamland, was suddenly startled by Dania and suddenly his head became sick. Wanting to be angry, but he remembered the message of Aunt Riska about the extra patience stock in dealing with his beautiful wife.
Daniel breathed a heavy breath. "What's up, honey? Why are you still not sleeping? Just look, what time it is now" said Daniel as he pointed to the wall clock hanging on the wall of the room.
Daniel got up with eyes that still looked very heavy. He sat down next to Dania and then leaned against the bed. And he drew his body closer to Daniel. He began to lean his head against the man's chest and then hugged him tightly.
"I can't sleep. Please accompany me, Mas. I was afraid to be alone in this room" Dania said.
"Well, why be afraid. Isn't I still here?" Daniel tried to convince.
"Yes, it's true. But, Mas was sleeping and I was alone. No friends to talk to!" sahut Dania who was getting upset.
"Ok, ok, fine then." Daniel went back to yawning. At that time he was really very sleepy. How not, the time has shown at 02.00 am, but Dania instead asked him to keep watching.
Daniel's eyes crumbled until the man's eyes finally closed again. While Dania was still leaning against her chest, she did not realize that Daniel was sleeping again.
"Honey, which is more, the number of invited guests when we get married or invited guests for the birthday party tomorrow?" daniah asked Daniel, who had returned to his dreamland.
No answer came out of Daniel's lips. What was heard was the sound of his regular breathing. Dania looked up and noticed her husband's face. He bent his face again after finding out that Daniel was back to sleep.
"Mas Daniel! I'm sleeping again, '" upset Dania. Dania reflexes hit the burly body to wake him from sleep.
"Ah, I'm sorry, honey! I fell asleep again. Well, this time I promise I won't sleep again" Daniel said.
"Attent." Daniel broke his arms with Dania and then approached the nightstand. He grabbed a piece of tape and then cut it about 1.5 inches by two pieces.
Dania looked carefully at what Daniel was doing. She did not know what her husband would do by using the two pieces of tape.
"What's that tape for, Mom?" ask Dania.
"For this." Daniel smiled as he glued the tape to his eyelids. "Look! This way my eyes won't be closed again."
Dania chuckled softly while clapping her hands. "A brilliant idea! But is Mas sure by using it, Mas won't fall asleep again?" ask Dania.
"Yes, I'm so sure!" answer Daniel steady.
A few minutes later.
Grookkk ....
There was a voice of Daniel snoring beside Dania's ear. Dania's just getting upset. He bit the man's burly arm while shedding his tears.
"She won't sleep!" dania said with tears.
"Yes, God! Sabarrrr," said Daniel, stroking his chest.
He tried to smile and grabbed Dania's body into his arms. "Now what if we try to persuade your eyes to sleep, how?"
"How is it?"
"Lay with me and try to imagine thousands of sheep running around inside your head" Daniel said as he asked Dania to lie down and gently rattled the top of her head. At that time they lay in a position to hug each other.
"The sheep? Why sheep, Mom? I don't want to. They're stinking" said Dania, shaking her head.
"What do you want?" sahat Daniel while withstanding his very drowsiness.
"I want a fat kitten."
"All right then. Now imagine there are thousands of fat kittens running around here." Daniel pointed to Dania's forehead.
"Then?"
"Then count the kittens in order. One by one until it's all gone. Understood?" Daniel smiled and he hoped it would put Dania to sleep.
"All right, I'll try."
"Yes, good luck." Daniel closed his eyes again and tried to dissolve into his dreamland again.
Dania closed her eyes and tried to imagine that there were thousands of fat kittens running around in her mind.
"One fat kitten .. two fat kittens .. three fat kittens ...." Dania kept counting until she could not feel she counted up to a thousand fat kittens.
Instead of falling asleep, Dania's eyes were getting brighter. Because it did not work, Dania woke up Daniel, who was asleep.
"Mas, wake!"
"Yes, God!" Daniel scratched his aching head. It turned out that Dania was still not asleep at the time.
"The kitten is over, Mom. I got the reel counting them and they looked dizzy when I counted. But I'm still awake!" pissed Dania.
"Gosh," complained Daniel.
