My best friend my husband

Chaptre 30. Beautiful Ghost

POV Azlan

Dinner, we just had a light conversation interspersed with papa jokes on Dara . I smiled at the closeness of papa and Dara - her beautiful daughter-in-law.

After finishing dinner, I invited Dara to tour the city of Seoul wearing thick clothes, not forgetting the hijab.

We walked together to Namsan Seoul Tower because Dara wanted to take pictures. Dara and I climbed the tower, not looking tired on the look on his face. At the top of Namsan Tower, he immediately took aim at the city of Seoul which was filled with stars and city street lights are very beautiful.

Then I invited him to eat a typical Korean bulgogi. After the order arrived at the restaurant table, I cut a small piece of roasted and seasoned beef and then covered the beef with lettuce.

"Eat with leaves?" ask Dara.

"Konon, he said that eating a packet of lettuce was more delicious." I fed him and he chewed on the results.

"Hm, that's delicious."

I smiled at her and continued my delayed meal a few minutes ago.Dara ate the beef I had cut and then put the meat along with lettuce into her tiny mouth.

I glanced at the watch that was showing at 11pm KST.

"Come, we're home." I pulled his hand towards the cashier to pay for our food then walked towards the villa on foot for about 4 kilometers.

Sometimes I also show the park where I used to play ball with my friends here. Arriving home, Dara and I performed a ritual of cleaning the face and brushing teeth and wearing facial treatments.

"Ah, it turns out that it's cold here too, yes," he said as he laid his body on the bed. While I turned on the warmers of the room and hugged them tightly to relieve the coldness that was running through our bodies.

"Yes, that's why Koreans are pale white" I replied.

"According to the weather forecast, it's snowing tomorrow morning."

"really?"

I nodded my head as I inhaled deeply the scent of white roses in her hair.

"If your body feels weird, I've written it down in every drug, so if I'm not home, you can find the cure in the nightstand drawer."

"okay."

I kissed Dara's cheek before we finally read the verse before going to bed and closed our eyes.

At 03.00 KST, I woke up when I heard Dara's voice muttering indistinctly. Sweat flooded his face and neck. I put the back of my hand on his forehead. Heat.

I opened the nightstand drawer and took the water in the kitchen and returned to the room with a basin filled with hot water and a small towel.

"Dear." I patted him on the shoulder and he opened his eyes with his mouth slightly open.

"Take the medicine first, you have a fever." I sat her body in bed to make it easier for her to swallow the medicine and the mineral water in the glass. After he finished, he lay back down, I glanced towards the window where the faint snow started to fall.

I compressed it with warm water without turning off the heating. Now that I could not fall asleep because I saw his dying state, I set foot into my father's room that today I could not go to the office because his son-in-law had a fever.

I was standing in front of the window where it was obvious that snow was falling to earth, while Dara's body was very sensitive to temperatures approaching minus. This was Dara's first time to Korea and her body was instantly shocked.

"Sister."

I turned towards the bed, then walked over to him who was lying weakly on the bed. I wet the towel and re-attached it to the temple and took another towel to put on his neck so that the fever would come down immediately.

At 09:00 KST, Dara has not shown any signs that she will be conscious. I've prepared a bowl of porridge and a glass of chocolate milk on the nightstand.

Slowly, her eyelids moved along by showing the eyeballs I missed so much.

I placed a pillow on the head of the bed and fed him the porridge even though he refused, I remained stubborn so that he would finish the porridge and threaten him to stay in Korea forever.

After the glass of milk and the bowl of porridge ran out, I cleaned it in the sink and returned to the room with a plate of fruit that had been cut.

Dara devoured him though slowly, and gave him vitamins so that his body did not drop.

"Aren't you at the office?" ask her in a weak voice.

"No, I will take care of you until you recover" I replied, raising the blanket up to the neck so that he would not get cold.

I put a digital thermometer into his mouth to see his body temperature that had not yet gone down.

"You just sleep. I'll clean up first." I kissed her forehead slowly and opened the window curtain so that the heat of the sun could enter and walked to the bathroom.

After I finished taking a shower, I saw her sleeping back in the sunlight, I changed clothes quickly and went back to check her temperature with an ear thermometer.

I can breathe a sigh of relief because the temperature has returned to normal. I let her sleep for a while because the heat-lowering medicine also contained no more sleeping pills.

Map .. tap .. tap ....

The sound of my footsteps as I walked down the stairs for breakfast, because until 12 noon I had not filled my stomach.

I stared at the window that was filled with snow. I took a shovel to get rid of the snowflakes that had mounted in front of the house until there was no way to see the road to the house.

15 Minutes later, I entered the house with a roar of hunting breath. I rubbed both hands while exhaling there so that my body was warm again and again saw the state of Dara.

Inside Dara's room

"Still dizzy?" I asked as I sat on the lip of the bed and stroked her curly hair.

"Udah is quiet," he replied with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Together."

"Yes, you take a shower" I said. Dara walked slowly to the bathroom using a blue hairy sandal.

I came out of the room to make ramyeon who had papa provide dj cabinet. After she finished, Dara went downstairs and looked at my activities.

"Tara!"

I served him a bowl of clear glass containing ramyeon in it about 2 packs and gave him a small bowl of rice not to forget with a tablespoon for him because Dara could not use chopsticks.

"It's ramyeon, typical Korean food."

Dara just nodded her head while taking a spoonful of ramyeon and then she mixed it into her rice bowl.

"Nake?" my many.

"Banget," he answered making me directly devour my handmade results.

"Well, if cold-cold eat warm like gini, it feels perfecto," I said.

"If you're completely healed, I'll take you somewhere."

Dara stopped her eating and turned to look at me as if asking 'where?'

We spent our lunch joking and watching a television containing a Korean drama without subtitles. Dara was confused herself and switched to her phone.
