"I told him not to go again, but he said this will be his last trip. He promised me he would not go again after he returned from this trip, only for him to die. I don't believe he is dead. Even if he is dead, I want to see his face because he became my everything since we got married. He doesn't worry me. I don't need anything in this world. I only need my husband. I want him to come and see our baby's face after I deliver, then he can go."

"We were like siblings, always together," she added.
