Viona awoke due to extreme hunger as she hadn't eaten since morning. It was a hunger that she had never felt before. Suddenly the image of her favorite ramen flashed through her mind which made her even hungrier. Viona woke up and turned to the left and it turned out that Fernando was next to her. She almost screamed when she saw Fernando was sleeping next to her.
"Why are you sleeping here ... you bad guy!!!! Ouch ... why am I so hungry?" Viona said softly, clutching her growling stomach.
To get rid of her hunger, Viona got up from the bed and put a pillow on her stomach to block the hunger that tormented her. But the hunger just got worse and made her unable to endure it anymore.
With great courage, Viona started poking Fernando on the cheek, wishing that he would wake up. She repeated poked him until finally, he opened his eyes.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Fernando asked with a squeak when he saw Viona sitting on the edge of the bed with teary eyes.
Because he didn't get an answer, Fernando then got up and sat next to Viona, who looked at him with a heartbreaking look that made Fernando go awry.
"What's wrong with you, Honey?" Asked Fernando again.
"Sob sob ... I want to eat ramen," Viona answered while shedding tears profusely.
Gulp!
Fernando swallowed his saliva when he heard Viona's words. He looked reflexively at the clock above the nightstand.
"Do you want to eat ramen??? At three in the morning?" Fernando asked in disbelief.
"Yes … I haven't eaten anything since morning," Viona answered, while wiping her tears that wet her beautiful face.
Seeing her crying made Fernando panic. He knew that this would happen because Doctor William had told him before. But Fernando did not expect that Viona would ask to eat strange food at three in the morning like now.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll find it, but don't cry, I can't see you crying like this," Fernando said quietly, as he tried to wipe her tears. He couldn't think clearly when she cried.
"You have 30 minutes to find it for me," Viona said with a sigh.
"30 minutes looking for ramen at 3 am, where do I have to look for it, Honey?" Fernando shrieked in surprise when he heard the time limit given by Viona.
"I don't care where you are looking, if you don't want to find it, let me find it myself," Viona fiercely tried to get out of bed.
"Hey don't!!!! Okay, I'll go search for it, but promise me, you won't go anywhere until I'm back with the ramen that you want," Fernando said, stroking Viona's hair affectionately.
Viona shook her head trying to avoid Fernando's touch. She then dropped her body back on the soft bed, while turning her back to Fernando under the thick blanket.
Her resentment at Fernando had not completely disappeared, especially with the incident this afternoon at the hospital when Fernando hit her again. If it wasn't because of her hunger, Viona wouldn't wake him so early in the morning like now. She was forced to put aside her anger at Fernando, so that her stomach could be filled with food.
Seeing Viona covered her body and turned her back to him made Fernando smile faintly. He couldn't blame Viona's cold attitude. He was the one who was the most at fault in this matter, having injured her physically. Fernando then got out of bed and walked to the chair where his jacket was. He then walked back to the bed and tried to kiss Viona's forehead but was rejected by her, who hid her face with a thick blanket.
Fernando smiled slightly at Viona's rejection. By relieving his sleepiness, Fernando finally got out of the room and headed to the first floor where his car keys were. The bodyguards playing cards in front of the house were shocked when they saw their master come out at three in the morning.
"Let me take you, Sir," said a blonde-haired man as he ran towards Fernando, who was trying to open the cupboard where his luxury car keys were stored.
"Ok, take me to the Chinatown area on the western outskirts of the city," said Fernando, smiling.
"Yes, Sir," replied the bodyguard obediently.
Fernando smiled at his bodyguard's answer. He then walked to the parking lot where his car was. After Fernando got into the car, four other men also entered the car. They then left Fernando's mansion for Chinatown on the western outskirts as per Fernando's instructions.
The western suburbs were mostly inhabited by people who came from East Asia, who were dominated by Chinese citizens. Fernando thought that he would get ramen there, as the place was very crowded at night due to the many nightclubs scattered around. After Fernando left, Viona opened her blanket while still holding her hungry stomach. Because she could not hold it any longer, Viona finally got out of bed and came out of her luxurious room to the pantry on the first floor.
Viona opened the large refrigerator where the food was stored in the pantry. Suddenly a big smile was on her face when she saw a package of Korean instant noodles in the refrigerator. Without thinking, Viona immediately took the packet of instant noodles and walked to the electric stove not far from where she stood. She quickly cooked the instant noodles with the addition of some vegetables.
After wrestling for ten minutes in the pantry, finally the food that she made was ready to be enjoyed. With a tray, Viona brought her bowl of noodles to her room. Arriving at the room, she immediately sat where Fernando sat when he was working. She then started to eat the Korean instant noodles she made slowly because it was still a little hot.
"Why doesn't it taste as good as it used to be?" Viona said softly, while looking at her instant noodle soup with a strange look.
Viona finally ended the meal after eating the three spoons of instant noodles. She then walked slowly to the bed after finishing the glass of water on the nightstand. Her stomachache had disappeared. She then continued her sleep when she saw that the clock had shown half past three.
After spending nearly forty-five minutes of the journey, Fernando finally arrived at the western suburb of the city border, which was still very busy. The driver then slowed down as he passed the narrow streets dominated by pedestrians who had just come out of the bars in the surrounding area. Fernando then started looking for a Chinese restaurant that was still open. He didn't seem to take his eyes off the buildings around the road as well as his bodyguards in the rear car.
"Sir, it looks like this is the restaurant you are looking for," said the driver, pointing to the building at the end of the road.
"Yes, let's hurry there. I don't want to run out," Fernando replied with a smile.
Without being ordered twice, the driver accelerated the speed of the car to the busy restaurant. After the car stopped, Fernando then got out of his car and headed to the restaurant escorted by four tall men behind him. Fernando's smile grew when he saw the Chinese restaurant. He then ordered several servings for himself and for his bodyguard, after he had specially ordered for Viona.
Not long after that, Fernando's order was ready. He then invited his bodyguard to return home because it was getting early and he didn't want to make Viona wait too long.
After arriving at the house, Fernando immediately ran to his room on the second floor with a portion of the ramen that Viona requested. When he arrived at the room, his happy face suddenly changed when he saw that Viona had fallen asleep again.
He also saw that there was a bowl of noodles that had been soggy on the table not far from the bed where Viona was sleeping.
"Didn't you ask for ramen, but why are you sleeping again, Honey?" Fernando said softly as he stroked Viona's face, who was fast asleep.
"I'm sorry I went too long," added Fernando, full of regret. Because he was still sleepy, Fernando finally fell asleep in the long chair in the room beside the bed. He fell asleep holding Viona's hand in a sitting position. A smile appeared on Fernando's face when he slept.
