The king knew father and aunt Selina would not bear not to ask her the circumstances. Even the King was sure, the mama who was in there must be worried about him.
How foolish he could have fallen asleep in the same room as his family. It was as if he slept without a dream. It was as if the nightmare did not haunt him.
And now when he's out for permission to calm down under the pretext of buying a cold drink - which is clearly in the nursery room - there's a father following him to the back garden with aunt Selina.
"You still have bad dreams of the King?" ask papa without further ado. Sit next to him and look at him.
"Seeing Rani's reaction that doesn't look worried, it seems like it still happens a lot." said aunty Selina who sat on the other side of papa. Sit flanking.
The king still wanted to deny. Wanted to cover it up from the family. But after he thought again, when will it be?
After he married Rani. After he expects the presence of a baby in his household, should not he try to heal himself?
How can he be a good husband, a good father, if he is ill. If the psychologist is not okay.
Maybe if when he was a child, papa and mama did not immediately bring him to a psychologist, he could have ended up crazy. Not just refusing to talk for a few months. But it ends up being a permanent resident of a mental hospital.
The dream he always had was too terrifying to haunt a 10-year-old every night. And he returned grateful with the presence of Rani at that time. Although annoying and annoying, but little Rani is enough to attract his attention from the fear that ensnared him.
It was as if Rani's presence had indeed become an antidote for him from the beginning. The antidote he tried to get rid of.
But not anymore. He will keep Rani by his side. To cure his trauma. More importantly, he couldn't help but look at the woman even if it was just one day.
Since Rani offered to be the antidote at that time, the King had considered continuing treatment that had stopped because he felt he did not get results.
In the end, the King confessed and told all to papa and aunt Selina.
Aunt Selina - whose heart is as gentle as a mama - cries and hugs her.
"You must be afraid of being alone.. And we all think you're cured and fine."
The king could only pat the aunt's back gently. Trying to calm down even though Aunt Selina still cries to the slightest bit of excitement.
"Hide this from my mom. I don't want you to think and be sick anymore." she asked. The possessed papa who looked at him with guilt and pity. The look he always hated.
Just like Rani, she dislikes being pitied the most.
What if he could only sleep 2-3 hours a day in 20 years?
What if he still has nightmares?
He can still live in such circumstances. Because his life isn't that sad either.
He is quite content to spend his time to make trouble and have fun. And now he can spend more fun after marriage, instead of spending the night with 8 hours of sleep.
Although not infrequently also the dream made him want to end his life.
Thinking that if his biological parents did not allow him to live quietly without being haunted by the nightmare, then he would catch up with them so that they would be content to torture him there.
But such a thought came before he married Rani.
I don't know how many times he tried to kill himself by taking sleeping pills in high doses but ended up with him trying to vomit again just because he didn't want to make mama sad. And such events have happened many times in the last 10 years. Because even under the influence of alcohol, the dream still continues to haunt him.
"You still come to the psychologist a lot?"
"Let's find a better spicologist. If we need to, we can go abroad."
King shakes. It was not that he did not want to, he just needed to discuss the matter with his wife first. Because surely Rani also has a curiosity and worry that is as great as papa and aunt Selina.
"You must heal the King! you can't go on living with the help of supplements to replace your sleep every night!"
"I know, pah. I've thought about it too. But I need the courage to tell Rani."
Papa and aunt Selina looked at him and then nodded. Perhaps they realized, how hard this matter was for him to reopen. Especially for people who do not know the story behind it like Rani.
"Yes already. But papa wants to report the progress of your condition."
It felt like the King wanted to roll his eyes lazily. Just like Rani used to do to him. Unfortunately, in front of him, papa.
"Take Rani to lunch" said aunt Selina before leaving. "So my aunt told him to eat, but he said he was waiting for you."
The king looked at the clock on his wrist. Is the clock 3pm and the wife hasn't eaten yet?
In haste, the King returned to the nursery. Rani is feeding her mother with fruit.
"You haven't eaten yet?" asked the King, approaching the bag containing the food that Aunt Selina bought.
"After this. King, wait, right?"
Rani just looked at him and thought he was hungry. While the woman returned to feed the mother painstakingly.
"It has. You eat there first. Mama can be alone." mama will already take a plate containing apples that have been peeled and cut into small pieces. But Rani kept him away.
"What's the point of Rani as a daughter-in-law? what's the point of Rani keeping mama here if mama just eat alone." - crazily Rani who could have been guessed.
After all the King asked not because he hoped Rani would come to him and eat right away as he told. He knows exactly what Rani is like.
So he brought a serving of spice rice, chiken katsu, and capcai. From the label on the lunchbox, it came from a restaurant owned by Bintang. Aunt Selina's son.
"Then open your mouth!" his word does not want to be disputed. Sitting on the edge of the cage right in front of Rani. Pouring a spoon filled with rice and side dishes near the mouth of the wife whose cheeks turned red.
"What the hell, brother. Shame on mom." Rani is trying to hide. Mama who sat leaning back chuckled at their interaction.
"Rani, take it. When else would the King be kind enough to feed like this." support mama who increasingly add a red hue on Rani's face.
Because his wife did not welcome his good intentions, he approached her and whispered softly in his ear. Make sure only the two of them can hear. "Eat. Or I'll take a mouthful!" threaten him with a sly grin. "You know I can do whatever I want." keep the body away and look at the ignorant Rani.
Hearing the threat of the two, Rani a flash grabbed the spoon that was still hanging in the air. Make him laugh and make mama flabbergasted looking at him fixed.
