THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 63. About Nightmares.

Sobs of pain from Edward, sounding so heartbreaking Laura. The man he saw was always firm, confident, authoritative. Now she is crying in her arms.

There was nothing Laura could do but try to calm the man down, by rubbing his head and back.

He was in Edward's position. Losing those he loves. Of course Laura knew what the grown man was feeling.

“Baby, you ever ask, am I a nightmare or not?” The man spoke again as his mood calmed down.

“Hmm.. don't need to tell me, Ed. It—,”

“I'll tell you everything, baby. I don't want to lose you again.” Edward drowned his face on his favorite chewy pillow.

“After the accident, I often had nightmares, baby. Always about that incident. You know, David took his life in my arms. He only had time to order to take care of Felisha and her son.”

Flashback.

“Dav, wake. Don't do this I beg.” Edward shook the body full of blood. He holds the head of his best friend.

David's eyes slowly opened again, with all his might grabbing Edward's face.

“E-Ed, a-ku mo-hon, ja-ga Fel and a-nak-ku.” David's speech was stamped.

“No Dav, you will take care of them, not me.”

David's head shook weakly. The man smiled faintly.

“A-ku ti-tip. Ka-ta-kan pa-da a-nak me, a-I love him.”

David's hand slipped from Edward's face. The man's eyes closed again.

“Dav, no. I beg you to stay Dav.”

Edward shook the body of his best friend and brother-in-law.

“Dav.. I beg you. don't go. don't leave me..” Edward cried loudly clutching David's stiff body. This is the second time he has lost someone close to him.

Off Flashback.

“Do not go. I beg.” Edward said in Laura's arms.

The girl looked, the man's eyes closed above his chest. A torrent of sweat began to drench the man's forehead.

‘So you hold the pain so deep, Ed?’

Laura rubbed Edward's head gently. The girl placed a kiss on the man's hair.

“Baby, don't leave me.” The man looked up with watery eyes.

Laura nodded her head. There was no way he would provoke this man right now.

“Ed, may I ask you something?”

Edward nodded his head.

“Do you take high-dose sleeping pills?”

Edward looked up again, looking into his girl's eyes.

“Where do you know, baby?”

“No accident I saw it in the drawer of the dressing table.” Laura was honest.

“I-yes, baby. I-I took the medicine so I could sleep. Otherwise, it's always haunting my sleep, baby.”

“I understand, Ed.”

“Before I took that medicine. I always slept with my mom. Mama will hold me, just like you did. And that dream will disappear.” Obviously the man.

“But since I lived in the penthouse, I decided to take the medicine. So that I can sleep well.”

Behind the perfection he had, Edward was still an ordinary man. It has flaws. Although he had many treasures, they were useless, if not able to wipe away the void in his heart.

Every night the fear of the nightmare that would come in his sleep, made the man weak.

“Ed.?”

“Mmm?”

“What does Devano know about his papa?” Ask Laura. It was actually a pity to see Edward cry considering his time. But curiosity was also so great in his heart.

Edward shook his head.

“Devano does not know. All he knows is, I'm his papa.” Said Edward lirih.

“Baby, you know. Devano was born prematurely. After David's departure, Felisha became like an undead. He just wandered on the bed. There was no food or drink that he swallowed. Her tears kept coming down her cheeks.”

“Felisha who used to be excited, we become weak. He even tried to end his life to meet with David.”

“Ed.” Laura rubbed Edward's back, trying to calm the man down.

“He even forgot, if in his stomach there is a baby who needs intake from him. Due to Felisha's deteriorating mental state, mama made up her mind, asking the doctor to perform the operation, so that the poor baby could be saved.”

Laura decays her body, she sleeps on the bed with Edward holding her from the side, but the man's head is on her chest.

The 21-year-old girl tried to dive into the feeling that Edward felt. So painful, so painful.

The man did not enjoy his teenage years. And when he began to be able to stand alone, he had to return to face the loss of the closest person.

Laura felt that the fate of the two of them was almost the same. Maybe Edward is still lucky because he still has a real mother in his life.

“Baby, I haven't been able to tell Devano about his papa. I can't do it if he knows, I caused his papa to die.” Edward's tone of voice sounded heavy again.

“No Ed, it's not your fault. Everything is God's will.” Laura was trying to strengthen the man.

The man shook his head.

“If I had listened to what David said back then. Maybe now Devano will be happy with his mom and dad.”

Every time he saw Devano, guilt would always approach him. Seeing the boy's smile, he always reminded him of his best friend.

“Baby, once in papa's tomb, I promised to take care of mama and Felisha. After that, at David's grave, I promised to look after Felisha and Devano.”

“I understand, Ed. You son, brother and good papa.” Laura grabbed Edward's head, made the man look up, and then he put a kiss on the handsome man's forehead.

“So that's why you didn't get married until you were 35?”

Edward nodded his head.

“Felisha is very possessive to me, every time I see her with a woman, she will act like a lover.” Edward chuckled.

Laura nodded at Edward's words.

“Since when was he so?”

“Since his condition improved, probably when Devano was 3 years old.” Edward himself was not sure.

“You know why Devano called me papa? It's because I feel sorry for that boy. He has lost his father since he was in the womb. After birth, he also did not get the affection of his mother because of his unstable mental condition.”

Edward breathed.

“So I took the initiative, being a father to him. Giving a father affection, spoiling him. At least he still feels that from my figure in his life.” Obviously the man was long.

Laura was amazed at what Edward said. He took a father's responsibility for his nephew.

“I'm sorry baby, from the beginning I wasn't honest with you. I was afraid that Felisha would be reckless with you, if she knew you were close to me.”

Edward put a kiss on the girl's jaw.

“I love you, Laura.”

The girl just smiled.

‘May God always bless you, Ed. You're a good man. May someday God give you a good partner also’
