JENNIE'S POV
"Just bring me along with you." I whined at Lisa who is busy packing some of her clothes in her luggage bag. She has a flight going to Thailand tomorrow at dawn and Switzerland after, to turn over her position completely to one of her trusted employee there.
We had a civil wedding two weeks ago, she said she just wanted to make sure before I change my mind. The church wedding will be after I gave birth to our baby.
Lisa is a perfect wife. She was always attentive. Whatever I request to her, she'll give it to me. Even if it's impossible, she'll try to make it possible. There was a time that she even had to go out to search for an open store which sells rice cake skewers, egg bread and tanghulu because I was craving for them and mind you, it was in the middle of the night. Thankfully there are convenience stores which opens for 24 hours nowadays. She didn't complain, not even once, eventhough she had just lied down the bed after finishing some company reports.
"You know you are not allowed to travel. Flights can be stressful and dangerous for a pregnant woman, babe." she explained.
"Then why don't we take a private plane? Maybe it wouldn't be that risky."
"I don't wanna put you and the baby at risk. I'll be gone for just a week. Before you realize it, I'm here already. I called the housekeeper from before to accompany you and Mama will come by often to visit you while I'm gone." she said.
"Will you miss me?" I ask while jutting out my lower lip.
Lisa turns to look at my direction. She stopped packing and went to kneel infront of me and leveled her face with mine. She cradled my face with her hands. "Of course, I will miss you."
My eyes started to blur from tears. "Then why won't you take me with you?" I whined more like a child, just thinking of not seeing her for a week made me feel like crying. I don't like it. I don't want her to go!
She smiled warmly at me, she sits on the bed and grabbed me to sit on her lap. "Baby, we have to make sacrifices. You can't go on travel. It might put you and the baby in danger."
"I will miss you." my damn tears started to flow down my cheeks mercilessly. She wiped them away with her fingers.
"You're becoming a crybaby nowadays, huh."
"Yah, there are beautiful girls in Thailand and--"
"Are you jealous? Don't tell me you're falling inlove with me?" she joke, but there was an obvious hope in her voice.
"Is there something that I should be jealous about?"
"Of course there is none, you're the only one I love. Besides you're beautiful than them because you're carrying my child. I only have my eyes on you."
She always tells me that she loves me. Sometimes I wanted to believe it, but I'm scared. I can't understand myself. I can already see that she really do love me, but my mind don't want to fully believe in her. Maybe I should learn to trust the judgment of my heart.
"Really?"
"Yes." She peck my pouting lips. "Let's sleep now, you shouldn't be staying up late."
She carefully lifted and gently put me down the bed, tucking me in before she continued packing. It didn't took long before she joined me on the bed and after a while both of us fell asleep in each other's arm.

A week had already passed and I missed my wife so much. I want to see her now and tell her that I love her very much. The nights were so cold and lonely without her.
