BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

ANMELA’S POV

After our two days vacation, we immediately went back to our places. The school year went smooth until I graduated. My mom and dad did not pass the special day, they went to see me. Only to find out that Luarent gave them a ride to be with me. I was so grateful that I have him in my life.

Months had passed.

I was reviewing for the board exam to become a registered nurse.

I was dizzy reading the thick book Fundamentals of Nursing 1 and 2 and then looked at the big clock on the side of my bed.

12 AM

I gasped for air and blew it out. I forced myself to fight the drowsiness.

Laurent and I have been together for two years, we had a happy relationship even though sometimes I could not really stand his jealousy over some random guys that I met although it was clear to me that I love so much.

Years had passed, but when he smiled at me, I was still blushing. It seemed like I would not get used to his handsome ear to ear grin. Maybe because that magical smile would just show to me.

Sometimes I was just surprised that he was carrying a bunch of flowers or he had sent something to my room like chocolates or stuffed toys.

Last month, I was scared that the syndicate named Dred would take revenge on him, but Laurent said he maged him so we were no longer in trouble, but I was still not calm because from time to time I saw Laurent’s red hand and I was sure that he kicked or punched someone again. That he came from another fight.

To this day I still have many questions about him, but I no longer dare to ask them because he says there is a ‘right time’ for that.

“Coffee.”

My eyes almost dropped. When I looked up, I saw Laurent. He brought down the cup of coffee on my table.

“Thank you,” I said while smiling. I grabbed the cup and sipped it.

He took a bench and set it aside for me. He sat down and hugged my waist.

“You will be whatever you want to be, Baby Girl,” He said with a smile on his lips.

Just like before, I was momentarily stunned by his smile. Yes, I was not used to it anymore because that smile of his was strange to me. It seemed so hard to see him stretching his lips.

“I’m sleepy,” I said sullenly and then leaned my head on his shoulder.

He stroked my head in the most gentle way. “Okay, let’s sleep.”

He picked me up again and carried me in his arms. He always did that, especially when he saw that I was tired.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He laid me down on the bed and hugged me.

“Why do you always lift me?” I asked him in a sweet tone.

He was staring at me now, stroking my hair as if he was cuddling me in the way.

“Because you are my baby girl.”

My face lightened as I heard how sweet he was. Finally, he did not answer me with ‘because I want to’.

“Hmm?” I closed my eyes, raised my hands and embraced his waist. I leaned my head on his chest. I could hear the beating of it. It was pounding so loud.

“Sleep well,” I felt him kiss my forehead and pulled me closer to him.

He often slept here because I was not with him in the morning. We just saw each other after our duties.

It was really sad to be alone, but sometimes Alem and Ardent were here. It was still the same, when he saw Ardent and me together he got jealous. He was a really jealous man.

Gradually, the darkness consumed me when my eyelid got heavy.

****************

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the first man that I saw was Laurent. He was watching me sleeping.

“Good morning,” he greeted me with his full smile.

I had a good morning because I viewed his smile immediately. He sat on the bed and was about to grab a glass of water when I quickly went to him and sat on his lap. I embraced my arms on his neck and whispered, “Good morning.”

My eyes were still closed as I buried my face on his neck. He carried me to the bathroom.

I felt so tired from reviewing all the lessons last night so I let him carry me like a baby. He put my butt on the sick. I did not open my eyes, I was still sleeping. I heard the flow of water from the faucet. Then he said, “ih.”

I nodded. I still clung to him. I followed him. I felt that he was blushing my teeth.

A smile formed on my lips because of the thoughts of him taking care of me like a child. That was one of the things I noticed about him. He was careful when it came to me.

I opened my eyes as I felt that his lips pressed mine. He was kissing me as early in the morning.

“Hey!” I scolded him.

He giggled at my lips. “I know that a kiss will wake you up.”

I stretched out my hand to him like a child, gesturing to him to lift me up. He grabbed my waist, carried me to his arms again while my thighs were wrapping on his waist. He brought me to the kitchen.

“You really a baby, huh,” he said with his sweet voice as he sat me on the chair.

I laughed because he really enjoyed carrying me. He likes that, too.

Does he like it? Or is it only me who likes it?

I laughed at the thought of that.

“Your board exam is almost coming.” He took my hand and wrapped it around his belly.

Suddenly, I was nervous because I did not know what was going to happen. “You can do that!”

I smiled broadly as he cheered on me with his closed fist compactly in the air.

“I’m nervous.”

“You can handle that,” he cheered again as he sat next to me.

He put fried rice, eggs, ham and bacon on my plate. It was funny that he still took the place of being a wife material rather than a husband.

Husband and wife? What great terms in the ear. Maybe if I passed the board he would propose and we could marry each other.

By imagining things, my heart pounded happily.
