The Unusual Husband
The Part 50
"Let's keep your word quickly, I've given you your ration tonight" Anne said, playing with the fine hair on her husband's chest.
"There's nothing special about me. My dad works as a building need. My mother was just a normal housewife. Dad died of a heart attack when I was in 1st grade. My mother died a year later from my father's overthinking. I grew up in an orphanage until the age of Junior High. Then, I worked odd jobs in high school, so buskers, newspaper handlers, traveling donut salesmen, shoemakers, cafe guards, need buildings, schoolboy tutoring teachers, etc. Whatever I'm doing so I can connect and pay school fees." Robert told Anne, his face looked calm.
"Well, you're so great, Rob. Then, after the orphanage, where do you live in High School?" ask Anne who is still curious.
"I live in a cheap boarding house near an orphanage. I happened to know the owner of the cost, so I was given a cheap price. From the odd jobs, I can pay for those costs. Sometimes if there is time, I also work as a maid at the boarding house, sweeping and mopping the boarding room. There's a kind-hearted boarding house that likes to tip money and split food." Robert was silent for a moment before continuing his story. He's thinking where to go, because it's impossible to admit everything to Anne right now.
"What else is Rob?" anne asked curiously.
"I graduated High School with good grades and was accepted into a modest university. I did not have enough money so I chose an ordinary university, which could still be reached in terms of cost. I majored in IT, I took employee classes because while working as a construction worker and other odd jobs. There's nothing special about my life until I meet Grandpa Thomas who made me a match for you" Robert said slowly.
"Are you happy to be married to me, Rob?" ask Anne again.
"Why do you keep asking, honey?" robert pinched his wife's nose.
Robert hugged Anne's shoulder and wiped her tears gently. "Sstt, don't cry anymore, it's okay your family is like that. If there are no them, you do not exist. Come on, your job now is to take care of health, so that if pregnant later you and our baby are healthy always. Take a break after the home and motorcycle installments are paid off next month. You can breathe freely. I'm proud of you" Robert smiled as he hugged Anne gently.
"Oh yeah where do you know Mr. Matt and why do you also study acupuncture?" ask Anne again.
"I answer one first. I met Matt at college. He's my upperclassman, we're one year apart. He helped me a lot in college, like he gave me food. IT trading info is also from him. I study acupuncture because I love reading health books. I practiced acupuncture first on animals like fish, rabbits, white rats, etc. Once the owner of the cost of severe dizziness, he suffered once because of frequent fainting. I finally tried to stick an acupuncture needle in his pain point on his head. I'm afraid of failure, and people's lives are at stake. But, because of the precarious situation and I want to repay the favor of the boarding owner, then I ventured to treat it." Robert told me all he could, just an outline so Anne wouldn't suspect anything.
"Then, what happened back then?" anne asked curiously.
"Fortunately the owner of the room was healed. Since then I have been more confident and have read medical books. But, I don't charge free aliases to those who ask for help." Robert smiled as he recalled the people he had helped one by one.
