My Husband is Not Rubbish
87. Occurrences in childhood.
"ill? what pain?" ask Bernard.
"Yes, I fell down the stairs"
Bernard was startled, as if Viona had just fallen.
Bernard releases his embrace, then examines Viona's body, twisting Viona's body to see where the wound is.
"On the head"
"What's? where's the?" Bernard saw Viona's head.
Viona opened her hair, on the head near the temple there was a stitch scar.
The old wounds that had faded, only looked faint.
Bernard stroked the wound.
"Did it hurt?"
Viona nodded.
"Eight stitches, so I don't know the faces of the people around me, the doctor said I had Prosopagnosia from this injury"
Bernard did not expect his wife to get such a disease.
Bernard imagined the little girl who fell down the stairs and had a wound on her head.
And it must be very painful for a small child to have a tiny body.
Bernard brought Viona back into his arms.
"Luckily I still remember Mama-in-law's face, maybe we're forever unaware we were once friends in childhood"
"Yes, and that's why Papa owes his grandfather a favor, Papa is so afraid that I can't be saved"
"Papa would do anything to get well, and make a pact with Grandpa Peter pleading"
"The father promised to marry one of us, if one of us was old enough to marry, to be married to one of Grandfather Peter's grandchildren, as long as I could recover from my illness"
"And Grandpa Peter also helped pay Papa a lot of debt, and can continue my treatment until healed"
Bernard finally learned of the debt his father-in-law had promised his grandfather.
Fortunately, only he was unmarried.
But that's impossible because Viona doesn't secretly love me? think Bernard again.
Somehow Bernard was not willing to think of Viona with another man.
Thinking Viona's hand was touched, Bernard was already emotional, but never once had Bernard seen another man touch his wife's hand.
Viona is his, and will be his for the rest of his life.
"I do a lot of therapy to restore my memory, sometimes I can sleep very long"
Bernard stroked Viona's head to hear his wife's story.
"Can sleep all day, and when I wake up I'm like a dazed person can't recognize Papa or
Mama"
"My wife, you must have suffered so much, thank God Grandpa was willing to help Father-in-law, meaning something you might forget must be reminded again so that the memory goes back into the memory of your brain my wife" bernard said as he stroked his wife's cheek.
"Yes, old memories sometimes I can't remember them"
Bernard pulled Viona back into his arms.
He's so happy, now his wife's fine.
Bernard lifted Viona's chin, then kissed her lips at a glance.
"Thank you for loving me and watching me quietly, I'm so lucky to finally love that cute little girl now, and be my wife" Bernard smiled, his fingers pinched gently on Viona's cheeks.
Viona grimaced spoiled, then rubbed her pinched cheek.
Bernard loved to hear his wife's spoiled whining, like a child.
"Has Papa-in-law finished eating, should we take him to the hospital?" ask Bernard.
"Well, come on, brother, let's ask!" unconsciously Viona again called Bernard with the call 'sister'
Bernard smiled to hear his wife calling him Big Brother, he was happy to hear whatever his wife called him.
All of that is called for him.
As a child Viona called her 'brother', after they had family Viona called her 'my husband'.
