"Good Night, Kitten." 

I heard a sweet low voice in my dreams making me stir a little and smile. I know who's the owner of that voice. I know him very well. Grabe, hanging pagtulog ko ay naririnig ko pa siya. Hindi na ako magtataka dahil minsan pa nga ay napapanaginipan ko siya. Isa na naman ito sa mga araw na 'yon, kung saan dinadalaw ako ni Oliver sa panaginip. Siguro ay na mimiss ko na talaga siya.

I faced the other side of the bed while keeping my eye shut. I felt warm muscular arms wrapped around my waist and something soft sniffing my neck. I groaned slightly and scratched my neck before drifting off to dreamland. 

I woke up early in the morning and the sun is just about to rise. Ever since I discovered that I was pregnant, I always feel sleepy but I wake up earlier than usual. I don't experience morning sickness bukod sa paggising ko nang mas maaga. I do experience cravings at ang nasa top list ng cravings ko ay ang spicy peanuts. Recently, parang gustong-gusto kong kumain ng carrot strips tapos isasawsaw sa sour cream. I just watched a cooking show one-time sa television and I can't get it off of my mind. Every time I think about it my mouth starts salivating and my stomach would rumble. I guess my Baby loves carrots. 

I looked around my room and to my dismay I'm alone. I guess I was really dreaming about Oliver sleeping beside me. My heart stings a bit, I really miss him. You miss Daddy too right, Baby? My stomach rumble and I chuckle. I guess that's a yes. Maybe, I should get my phone again and try to reach out to Oliver but I will be doom if I do that. Nagkasundo pa naman sila ni Mom na h'wag akong pagamitin ng cell phone. 

Bumuntong hininga ako at nag-unat bago muling humikab. It looks like we are going to miss Daddy a bit more, Baby. With that thought, I start doing my morning routines before going down to the kitchen. It's a little bit chilly since papasikat pa lang ang araw and ito ang perfect na oras para uminon ng mainit na gatas. I went to the kitchen still a little bit sleepy, head's still in clouds. My eyes got teary as I yawned once again. I used to be a morning person but with pregnancy, I become a sleepy head. Malamang mamaya ay makatutulog na naman ako pagkatapos kumain ng almusal.

While waiting for the water to boil, biglang pumasok sa 'king isipan si Chanel. I miss my baby Chanel! Siguro naman ay naalagaan siyang mabuti sa mansion ano? Hindi naman siguro siya gugutumin doon pero malamang ay malulungkot siya. Isang linggo ako sa hospital tapos mukhang magtatagal pa ako rito sa rest house. With that thought, my heart sunk a little bit and my eye got teary because of sadness. Nanginginig nang kaunti ang aking kamay habang nagsasalin ng mainit na tubig sa mug dahil sa pagpipigil umiyak.

Habang naghahalo ng mainit na gatas ay hindi ko na napigil ang pagtulo ng aking luha. Sumakto ito sa gatas na aking hinahalo. Kawawa naman kasi si Chanel. I know the feeling of being left behind so damn well. I hate that feeling os much. At sigurado akong nalulungkot siya ngayon sa mansion. 

Napapitlag ako nang may biglang nagsalita sa 'king likod, dahilan kung bakit natapon nang kaunti ang gatas ko. Napaso tuloy ang aking daliri.

"You'll make the milk salty with your tears, Kitten."

His baritone voice made my heart do a flip instantly. I even forgot about my aching finger. I was so stunned that he's behind me. Ni hindi ko siya malingon dahil sa pagkagulat ko. Marinig lang ang boses niayng tinatawag ako ay sapat na para guluhin ang sistema ko. I've been missing him for weeks and now he's behind me. 

"Why are you standing like a rock there, Kitten? Don't you miss me?" 

I was still so stunned. My mind can't process the fact that he's behind me. I heard his footsteps nearing and suddenly his warm muscular arms are around my waist. His face on my neck sniffing it.
