The Married By Challenge
The Part 41
William felt strange because he could not sleep, he felt like something was making his heart restless and restless. He even felt sad without knowing the reason. He also glanced at the wall clock which showed at 1 o'clock. 15.
While tuning music, William again tried to sleep but he still could not. At the end of the day, he calls Freya.
"What's up, Will? You're good, aren't you?" there was a worried voice from across the phone.
"Engga, i.e., be, Fe. I feel calm. My heart is troubled, like something bad happened" William said.
"Maybe you're just tired, Will"
"Yes, I hope so" William said, "do you want to sleep?"
"So it was, but now it's not. Mending us a chat, want a video call?"
"Good idea, honey"

Meanwhile, sleeping Sarah wakes up when her phone rings. And when she saw Devano calling, Sarah answered.
"Hello, Dev.." exclaimed Sarah as she sat down and then turned on the lamp beside her bed.
"Dev.." call Sarah again because Devano just kept quiet and it made Sarah worry "Are you okay?" ask Sarah in a low voice.
"I let her go.." there was a voice whispering Devano from there and Sarah was silent as she understood what Devano meant "He's gone, Sarah. Now that I don't have anyone else" Devano spoke again in a stifled voice.
"Don't say that, Dev" said Sarah "We are here for you. And you still have me, your wife" she said.
Devano did not answer, only a heavy sigh was heard, Sarah could imagine how hurt Devano was now because he had released Caitlin.
"Dev, should I follow you there?" ask Sarah who no longer knows what to entertain Devano.
"Well, honey" Sarah breathed a sigh of relief as Devano replied "I'll be home in a few days"
And after saying that, Devano again fell silent and heard a small sobbing sound that made Sarah's heart gasp. Devano crying? Sarah doesn't believe a Devano can cry and if Devano cries it means he's really hurt right now.
"Dev, it's okay" said Sarah softly "Everything will be alright, you've done the right thing, Dev"
"I hurt her, I can't be good brother" Devano wrote "I should be able to take care of her, Sarah. I should never have sent him to London" Devano said in between sobs and Sarah also involuntarily shed tears at the thought of a brother who lost his one sister.
"I'm really sorry, Sarah. L'm... I don't want him to go"
"Dev, there's nothing to regret. She loves you, and I'm sure Catty doesn't want you to be sad and blame yourself"
"But..but I've been so mean, haven't I?"
"You're the best sister in the world and the worst husband in the world" Sarah comforted and sounded bland naughtiness from across the phone.
Then the two fell silent, but no longer heard the sobs of Devano. Sarah also felt sad because Caitlin was no longer there even though she never really knew Caitlin, but Sarah felt there was a bond between herself and Caitlin.
"Dev.." call Sarah again because Devano was silent for a long time. I heard Devano muttering from there "You still cry?" whispered Sarah.
"No" replied Devano.
Sarah's heart as if pinched to see Devano who is like a helpless man.
Both are equally silent, Sarah continues to look at Devano but Devano continues to avoid Sarah's gaze.
"How long have you been sleeping?" sarah asked later and Devano just put her shoulder "You should sleep now" Sarah asked again but Devano just shook her head. "Come on, Dev. I don't want you to be sick" he persuaded with a sad face. And it looks like Devano is laying himself down.
"Yes, I'm going to sleep, we'll talk later" she said in a hoarse voice but Sarah shook her head.
"Don't turn off the phone" Sarah's pinta made Devano frown.
"Why?"
"Follow this your wife, put your phone on your side. I want to see you really sleep what you do" said Sarah and look Devano who boasted a smile and of course it makes Sarah happy.
"Is this the style of teenage courtship?" devano asked, which made Sarah smile.
"I don't know, I never dated a teenager. Because in my teenage years, I was married to an old man"
"I don't know yet, I'm only about to turn 26. I'm a grown man" replied Devano who did not want to lose. And seeing Devano return to her habitat makes Sarah feel happy.
"Okey, grown man. You better sleep, I'll watch from here" Sarah and Devano exclaimed. He put his phone on the side of the bed with the camera still pointing at him.
Devano looked at Sarah and Sarah did the same thing, until Devano slowly closed his eyes and Sarah was still faithful to pay attention to her husband.

London...
Devano could not sleep but he felt better after talking to Sarah what else now Sarah noticed him even though only through the phone screen.
Devano re-opened his eyes and Sarah still faithfully watched him.
"Sleep, Dev" exclaimed Sarah, who made Devano feel like a boy who was told to sleep with her nuns.
Devano closed his eyes again with a shadow of Sarah and her sister.
Devano felt so lost that he even cried for the first time after the deaths of his parents. Devano also felt very guilty for torturing Caitlin, the heart's intent was to cure Caitlin but it turned out to be torturing her.
And now, all she has is Sarah. And what did Sarah say? Your wife?.
Devano is like getting a new spirit, a new light in his life. Right, now he still has Sarah, his wife. And Devano will always look after Sarah, love her wholeheartedly and will never let Sarah go of her.
Devano awakens after an hour or so of falling asleep, and upon waking up, all he thinks about is Sarah and it makes him smile. Devano checked his phone and it was still on.
And now Devano's replacement sees Sarah sleeping fast with her mouth slightly open, makes Devano smile and wants her to kiss that lip and ******* it was like he did in the car at the time.
"I love you, Little girl. Sweet dreams, sweetie".
