Touch Me Slowly's

Dreamtime

Wearing a sterile suit with a head covering and a medical mask, Richard walked into the ICU room where Amanda was being treated.

The woman, who was lying weakly on a hospital bed with a hose in her mouth and some wires in her chest, looked so heartbreaking in Richard's eyes.

His heart ached to see the state of the wife he loved. The man could not help his tears of sadness and sat down beside the bed.

To speak Richard was unable, the man only cried while holding Amanda's cold hands.

The memory of their togetherness kept spinning in Richard's mind like a broken cassette. Smiles, laughter, sighs, jokes, and promises Amanda now changed with silence and pale face.

Given how his women continued to act strange and sometimes annoying, Richard became even more sad and devastated. It turns out that Amanda is pregnant with the fruit of their love.

If only he could be more sensitive, perhaps this incident would not have happened. Richard blames himself for not being able to protect the precious woman in his life. Behind the mask he was wearing, Richard cried with a stifled soft voice.

"Eat first, Chad." Tari offered her a box of food she bought from her son's favorite restaurant.

"I'm not a laper, Mom," Richard refused.

"Don't say that, Donald said you haven't eaten since the plane. You must take care of your condition, son. Amanda needs you, if you're sick, who's gonna get your wife?"

"Yes, Mom. But I'm really not a laper, later if I laper I must eat, Mom.

Dance took a deep breath, pulling back the food box she held in front of Richard.

"What's the rose, Mom?" richard had not seen the woman.

"She has been moved to the treatment room, her family has also arrived. The doctor said he's just a mild concussion of the brain."

"Thank God he's okay" Richard said.

"Mommy's with daddy, just go home. Let me take care of Amanda here," continued the crossbred man staring alternately at his parents.

"Mommy will be here, then let Daddy go home." said Tari gave a code to her husband Tommy.

"No need, Mom. I don't want Mommy to get sick either, you can come back tomorrow."

"But, Chad-"

"Yes, Richard said, Mom," Tommy cut out quickly. "We better get home. Besides, this room is enough to accommodate Mommy as well."

Dance clucked at her husband's lazy gaze. He thought the man with the graying hair would support him staying here with Richard.

"Yes, mending Mommy home. Rest at home, tomorrow morning come here again."

Unable to refute, Tari could only nod weakly. "Mommy put the food in here, huh? Your mother-in-law said, tomorrow she'll come here and take care of Amanda. You can go home first to get changed and take a shower."

"No, I asked Donald to bring my clothes here. I'm not going anywhere until Amanda wakes up, Mom."

"What's the company like, Chad?" tanya Dance.

"Let Daddy take care of it temporarily. Anyway, I'm going to stay here with my wife" Richard said, staring at Tommy, in front of him.

"Judah if you want it to be so, let Daddy take care of the company first for a while!" tommy gave up.

He knew that his son would not be able to focus on work, even if he forced Richard to go to the office.

"Thank you, Dad..," Richard said sincerely.

"Yes, Mommy's here again tomorrow morning, huh? You take a break, Mommy knows you must be tired."

Richard nods to walk his parents to the front door of the VVIP treatment room they hired for Amanda later.

Saying good night before the door closed, Richard walked back into the room with shaky footsteps.

His feelings and heart felt empty at this moment. Usually he and Amanda would call each other to sleep, or cuddle in bed like before. But tonight, Amanda's warm embrace and soft voice is no longer Richard's. The man decided to sleep on the sofa, crying and falling asleep there.

"Chad, wake...."

The man blinked his eyes repeatedly looking at the figure of the long haired lady smiling sweetly looking at him.

"Kok sleeping here?" his question rubbed Richard's face gently.

"Don't sleep here, you'll sprain your neck sweetheart."

"Beby, is this really you?" Richard rose to embrace his female body full of longing.

"Yes, it's me dear.." Amanda rubbed her husband's back.

"I'm not dreaming anymore, am I?"

"You have to be strong, Chad. Take good care of yourself, I can't take care of you anymore."

"Don't say that, By. I know you'll heal and come back with me!"

"Doain me well, honey. Doain I keep going, take care of yourself...."

"No, you can't go anywhere, Beby....!" Richard screamed in his dream and woke up as Donald woke the man up.

"Chad, Chad ... wake up!" Donald shook Richard's body until he gasped in shock, waking up from his dream.

Richard's breath was stinged with the corner of his watery eyes, he hurriedly got up and sat on the sofa chair. It turns out he was just dreaming.

"No pa-pa, Chad?" tanya Donald was worried. The mature brown-skinned man patted the shoulders of friends, as well as his boss.

Richard shook his head, instantly waking up. He ran out of the room, towards the ICU room where his wife was being treated.

"Chad, where are you going?!" peekik Donald followed the man from behind.

Arriving at the door of the ICU room, Richard was shocked to find the number of nurses who entered the room in a hurry.

"What's going on, Sus?" richard asked to hold one of the female nurses.

"The patient's condition is suddenly decreasing, sir. The doctor is examining the state of the patient inside." The nurse passed by leaving Richard increasingly shocked, and immediately sat on the floor.

"Chad!" Donal approached her best friend who looked devastated to hear the words of the nurse just now.

"Manda, Nal. My wife, Nal.." said Richard with a body shaking violently.

"Yes, you calm down. We'll wait until the doctor finishes Amanda's condition." Donald held Richard's shoulder firmly.

"Gue dreamed him up, Nal. Amanda wants to leave me, she says she wants to go, Nal...." Richard was crying on the hospital floor.

Seeing the nurse coming in and out of the ICU room scared the man. He was afraid that if Amanda really left him, Richard would not be able if half his breath would go away leaving him alone in this world.

"Quiet, Chad. You have to be strong, sure that Amanda will not be okay. She's a strong woman!" Donald tried to calm his best friend.

His heart was saddened to see Richard at this moment, the man had never shown his sadness all this time to others.

Although Tommy had once banned him from painting, Richard never once showed his hurt and sadness to him and Mike. Donald knew that Richard was really sad, and probably wouldn't have been able to if Amanda had left him.
