" Our daughter is healed, Wake up now she misses you as much as I do. Mas please don't be like this, I can't stand "Mayra still crying softly beside Ansel who is still asleep.

'' Get up for us. You promised and must be kept --"

" How can I go without you, dear . "

The sound of Mayra's cry immediately stopped, when the voice of the baritone that she missed so much, was now heard again.

" Oh!!, are you awake ?I miss you.hiks..hiks. " Mayra tightly hugged her husband who was still lying down.

He spilled all his sadness for two days on Ansel's chest that had regained consciousness. Ansel smiled slightly grimacingly enduring the pain, the scar of surgery on his back.

Moments later, Mayra cried for a long time and she finally calmed down. Do not ask again how the body of Ansel who was too tightly hugged the wife certainly stiffened because of illness, Ansel's groaning was heard by his wife. Mayra divorced her embrace immediately rising from Ansel's chest.

Mayra's movement immediately in the barrier Ansel , even Mayra's body increasingly fell on Ansel's body, soon her husband was increasingly tightened his embrace on Mayra.

" Mum, I'm heavy !. Let's release the wound will open the operation back, if it happens the wound immediately must be stitched back mas !! '' mayra explained.

'' This is better, baby. Go up and sleep next to me. " cried Ansel told Mayra to go up in her basket.

" But, later the doctor comes in there's no way to see us like that. " Remember Mayra a little nervous.

" I don't care what they think. Mayra Bramantyo is my legal wife, whatever they want to assume, your husband just wants you to accompany him to sleep on this cage .

Mayra wiped the rest of her tears and slowly climbed into the bed and laid herself beside the shifted Ansel, giving her a place to lie down.

Now they look at each other in a facing position. Ansel's hand continued to trace Mayra's moist face that looked pale.

" Why are you always crying ? is that as scared as you are if I go ? " asked Ansel with a sad face.

" I'm not ready to be a widow all of a sudden. And also afraid that our daughter will be orphaned " answered Mayra lying, still reluctant to admit too embarrassed to start.

" That's how much?, so these two days you're crying for fear of me double you ? " ask Ansel disappointed, he thought Mayra was afraid of losing half her soul. Ansel was wrong to suspect.

Ansel's face instantly turned cold, pulled his hand that was touching Mayra's face back after hearing his beloved wife's answer. Mayra understood the answer was not to the wishes of her husband.

" You are angry with my honesty ! '' mayra asked, pretending to be serious.

Ansel silently did not want to say, his heart was overwhelmed with deep disappointment.

'' Look at me mas!, what a superficial feeling I have for you is not crying for fear of changing the status I feel. To be honest I was afraid of losing the only man who was constantly lodged in my heart and at all times disturbed my mind. The man who once drove me almost crazy for being away from him. Ansel Eric Julian please never stop loving us, I swear you are the man I love, forever. " Mayra said sincerely, her tears became a witness to the seriousness of her love for her husband.

Mayra's second heart phrase revealed the word sacred, heard directly from his wife's mouth. Not happy Ansel when the speech was released without burden from and wife, Enclosed small body Mayra brought into his arms . There is nothing else he wants right now, to be near Mayra in a lawful way, what a great gift in Ansel's life.

" Thank you for replying to my love, baby. That warms my soul, my dear. I want to listen to that word of love again, dear. Say it again I want to hear it. " said Ansel, hoping.

" I love you so much, father of my daughter. "

" I am also, dear . "

Ansel hugged the wife even more, Mayra looked up still confused by her husband's words, "Mum, how can you know for two days, I cry for you ? '' Mayra asked confused and curious.

Hearing about the baby, Mayra was more and more excited to answer.

" Thank God, his recovery went well. Even now I can give my ASI to him directly, I am happy about it mas. " said Mayra girang.

''Huffff. Can rampage later if all exposed "Ansel said in the heart.

Both of Mayra's parents have served in Ansel's ward.

" Beautiful, like you love" Ansel said as she stared at her sleeping baby in Mayra's lap .

" He looks more like you, ma'am. Allow our daughter to be like her father. "

''He, honey. Your daughter has a mixed resemblance of mana and her papa " concluded Fina who was sitting on the sofa with Bram the husband.

" Then, if someone calls you later, won't it be changed ?" mayra asked carefully, afraid that the name-giver was angry. Ansel youth is difficult to argue.

" The world knows that no one dares to call me that. Except for my naughty wife this "pulls Mayra's nose soft.

"The reason why?, is not the name Ansel is good call and good meaning." asked Mayra curious.

Ansel glanced at Fina and Bram who were watching them. The one being stared at was not tasty and immediately turned his eyes to their respective devices.
