The Married By Challenge
The Part 134
Sarah awoke from her sleep because she was thirsty, and when she turned she did not find Devano on her side. Sarah was about to go out to find Devano, and faintly Sarah heard Devano's voice. Sarah opened the door to her room and apparently it surprised Devano who was talking on the phone with someone.
"Darling, why wake up? you hungry?" devano asked as he put his phone in his boxer pocket. Sarah shook her head and she came back, entering without a word.
"Who's Devano calling in the middle of the night? Hide hide again..."
"Darling..." Devano stepped quickly ahead of Sarah, Devano could feel something was wrong with his wife since noon "You why? You sick, hm? You want to go to the hospital?" devano asked as she slipped Sarah's hair behind her ears.
"Devano, what's the call... Reluctant, no matter what." said Sarah and she immediately crawled up on the bed.
While Devano, at first he looked confused but then he smiled.
"So that phone is Dominic." exclaimed Devano and he also went up to the bed, Devano put his head on the lap of Sarah who is currently sitting leaning on the head of the bed.
"Why is the middle phone and should I hide?" great-granddaughter Sarah, because she can't lie to her suspicious feelings.
"Not hiding, Little girl. You were sleeping, I didn't want to until you got distracted so I got out. And why Dominic called midnight because Margaret ran away from the mental institution...."
"A mental hospital?" sarah was surprised. The last time he met Margaret was at the hotel, when he learned the painful facts.
"Yes.." - Devano and he looked sad, Devano clasped Sarah's hand and peeked at her fingers so gently "At that time, when she ran away from the hotel, she had an accident. But upon awakening, she not only lost her memory but she lost her sanity. Every teenage girl she considers Caitlin, and every man she considers rapist Caitlin" Devano said in a low voice "I regret not being kind to her, I only realized my mistake with Margaret when I saw Mama Venita so devastated by your departure, dear. I understood what Margaret felt like, what else as long as Caitlin lived, I treated Margaret like a servant who should serve Caitlin, not a mother who loved and cared for Caitlin. My hatred for him has really made me blind, even though he truly loves me... "
Sarah stroked Devano's head fondly while continuing to listen to her husband's story.
"I'm really mean, honey." Devano's statement made Sarah smile.
"I'm sorry, Sarah... I'm..."
Devano's words came to a halt when Sarah briefly kissed the husband's lips "The real apology is to fix what you've broken, dear. And I know you did that." said Sarah, who warmed Devano's heart.
"We should sleep now... I'm sure Aunt Margaret will be found soon"
Devano nodded, now lying on Sarah's side, pulling Sarah to put her head on Devano's chest "Who can, Dev. Kasian Baby Neo is tight." said Sarah and she slept on her back, then tilted to the right and to the left.
Seeing Sarah who could not even sleep comfortably just because of her distended stomach that made Devano think back to Margaret, it was fitting that Margaret loved Caitlin very much and went crazy for losing Caitlin. Being a mother is not easy.
"Come here, honey..." Devano placed a pillow on Sarah's side, just below her belly, then she herself directly hugged Sarah and kissed her head buds "Is it hard to be a mother?" ask Devano lirih.
"Yes, and this is how much. There is still a phase of giving birth and breastfeeding, keeping them until they grow up. It's not easy, Devano..."
"We will keep our children the same, I will always accompany you, Little girl" said Devano and suddenly Sarah giggled.
"I'm not little girl anymore, you don't see I've been like a baby elephant like this?" ask Sarah.
"No, you are so beautiful, like an angel" Kaaba Devano made Sarah blush "Now sleep, sweet dreams, dear. Baby Neo's sweet dreams..."
