Chapter 29 - You are the first, My Last, My Everything

Part 1.


I woke up and lay in bed, just staring at the ceiling. It has been more than 4 months that I have been away from Malaysia and the thought of going back scares me. The day is getting closer and closer. Hans has to go back to his work. I know I have to move on with my life. I have gone through so much in the past four months. I truly appreciate Hans has been there for me every minute of the day. I'll be going back to my job and my new role as a wife and an instant mother to 2 teenage boys. Are they ready to accept me? Or am I ready to share Hans with them? And then there's the wedding dinner reception which are already on the way, all handled by Hans mon and my mama.

I got up and sat on the bed......my mind blanked out for a moment. I stood up and walked to the balcony and slide the sheer curtains to see the morning sun, fast creeping in. I am going to miss Positano and all the happy times I've spent with Hans on our honeymoon.


"Good morning precious...." I turned around and saw Hans was already awake. He was holding a room service menu. "You were staring out for a long time...." Hans said. I smiled and replied, "I am going to miss this place and most of all I am going to miss all the time we spent together...." I walked back to the bed.

"Hmmm.....i can see through you in that transparent nighty......You look hot...Come here babe.....", Hans memanggil aku

"Are you afraid? About going back home?" Hans asked and I nodded. "Babe.....you know I will always be there for you. I am not going anywhere." Hans tried to reassure me.

"I know.....I am nervous about being an instant mother to your children. I have never met them and I don't know if they can accept me....", I explained.

"Ummm....I understand....we will sit with them. We will prepare dinner and have a chat with them. We have nothing to hide. We tell them the truth." Hans already had his arms around me.

"You make it sound easy...." I said and snuggle like a kitten on his bare chest.

"Don't worry babe, insya Allah it will go well." he squeeze me and kissed my forehead.


"I'm going for my shower and you order room service okay." I said and slide off the bed. But then I suddenly felt a bit dizzy. I managed to balance myself and sat on the bed for a few seconds. What was that?......

I got off the bed and walked directly to the bathroom. Ok...it's gone now....I search for the song we heard last night at Music on the Rocks....."Yes, found it!"

I pretended that my hair brush was a microphone and sang along to the song. I twist and spin and looked into the mirror how funny I was. Then I felt my head spinning again.....I quickly held on to the sink table....."Please, oh no.....is my vertigo back?" I whispered to myself. The song was still playing while I'm trying to catch my breath. I stood still and slowly sat down on the floor...."Should I tell Hans? No, perhaps it'll go away just like last time...." again I whispered to myself. This time it took a bit longer for me to recover and I got up slowly, brushed my teeth, washed my face with facial cleanser. I felt the room is spinning......"Hans!....Hans!.....I need you in here....now...." I started to panic and cry.

Part 2.

"Babe? Ya, Allah.....what happened?" Hans was already on the floor helping me up. He carried me in his arms, walked straight to our bed and sat me on the bed. He supported my head with another pillow. "Ok, just relax. I'll get the hotel to call for a doctor.". I closed my eyes, slide down, turn to my right and hugged a pillow.

A minute later...."Can you get up?" He helped me up. "Here, drink this. It's just water...."

"Babe, what happened? You look so pale." Hans sounded a bit panicky.

"I don't know....it could be my vertigo is back..." I answered and slowly lay down on the bed again. "I had it before, once.....a few months back. I did not expect it to revisit again."

"Alright, the doctor should be on his way. Just rest now...." Hans said and he lay next to me stroking my hair.

10 minutes later there was knock on the door. "Signore, this is Doctor Luca." Leonardo introduced to Hans.

"This way doctor." Hans came in the bedroom with Doctor Luka and he started to ask me questions which I answered him right away. I told him about my medical history. My last medical check up was October 2015 and I also mentioned about my vertigo.

Doctor : "Do you feel bloated?" He inserted a thermometer under my tongue.

Me : "Yes, sometimes but lately it has been quite frequent."

Doctor : "Do you experienced back ache?" He placed the stethoscope on my back.

Me : "Yes."

Doctor : "Do you feel tired especially in the afternoon?"

Me : "I never realized this but yes."

Doctor : "Do you go to the toilet frequent....arr...to do small business...?"

Me : "Small business....oh! you mean urinate? Yes, I do."

Doctor : "Do you feel like vomiting?"

Me : "So far none."

Doctor : "Hokay....I do not see anything serious but you come to my clinic tomorrow and we run one more test, ya? This is my card and Leoardo will take you to my clinic. For now take plenty of rest, do not stay too long outside at night and don't sleep very late. I give vitamin C. Hokay?"

Me : "Hokay!" Aku pulak terikut-ikut.

When the doctor left, Hans came back and sat next to me on the bed. "Are you comfortable?" he asked.

"Aha, I'm okay. Sorry about the......" Hans cut me off. "Shhhh...nothing to be sorry about. Why didn't you tell me that you had vertigo?"

"I had it once before and the doctor said nothing to be worried about since I did not have any inner ear problem or infection. Apparently vertigo also can appear as we grow older and it normally will go off without treatment." I explained.

"Are you going to be fine while I go and shower? " Hans asked.

"Of course, I'll be fine. I am all okay now." I replied. "I will order us brunch and we have it in bed, okay?"

"Sure. Babe you gave me a scare tadi....." he answered as he kissed me on my cheek. I smiled , "Sorry Hans...."


10 minutes later Hans came out looking all fresh, bare chested and in his jogging pants. Not that I mind looking at those lean and tone muscles but he is just like me, he has his favorites, and he has 5 of those pants in 5 different colors! Hah!

"The doctor was kinda weird. The questions he asked seems unreal...." I merely stating an opinion to distract my own attention from Hans half naked body.

Hans smiled. "He sure sounds like that way...." He agreed with me. He got up when he heard the doorbell. It was the room service with our brunch. Hans directed Vicenzo to placed the food tray on the bed.


While enjoying our brunch, we talked about music, sports and cars. He was so attentive towards me. One minute he'll be fluffing my pillows. The next minute he'll be adjusting my comforter.

"I think it would be bored to stay indoor. Can I convinced you to accompany me for a short walk outside?" I suggested. "I feel suffocated staying indoor."

"Well the doctor wants you to rest.....yeah, sure....let's walk around the village and later we can stop at Franco's Bar for drinks and snack. Let's go out and get some fresh air. I may not be a doctor but I know fresh air is good for you...." I laughed and he helped me up of the bed. I went to the changing room while he tagged along from behind.

"Excuse me....can I get some privacy when I change my clothes?" I insisted.

"Sure." Hans replied.

"Well, go lah....I nak tukar baju" I said.

"Tukarlah, I am not stopping you from doing it....I have to be here in case anything happened to you." He said.

"Urgh!! I am fine Hans...." as I stripped in front of him. I shouldn't feel shy right? After all he's my husband....

"So, you're enjoying the view from behind?" I teased him.

"Indeed I am. Here, let me help you with the zip." He offered to help.

"Oh? Okay, thanks." I replied and lift my hair up. I can feel the zip slide up slowly. When he's done he let my hair down and turn me around facing him. Both of his hand are on my face and he kissed me passionately. The feeling is mutual as I kissed him back.

"When was your last period?" Hans suddenly asked as he looked at me.

"Mmmm....I don't know, let me think...hey....why do you ask that?" I asked.

"I don't know babe, but I have a feeling it wasn't vertigo. I think you, or rather we are pregnant...." he said sounded excited.

"Oh my....if it's true,....are we happy about this....?" aku inginkan kepastian Hans.
