Dinner was delicious and to be honest, I'm better. Everything is back to normal. I switched on the TV and switched on the Nat- Gio channel. Aurora has gone to bed and I can't sleep. I might as well watch some animalistic stuff. If I'm in luck, I will be able to fall asleep soon. Tomorrow I plan to go to the orphanage and help out. Usually, there is nothing much to do but still seeing the kids always makes me calm and happy. I'm sure Aurora would love to come. So long as it's helping others she is always in for it. Although I must confess she loves the hospital more. No matter what the day brings or how exhausted we will be at the end of it she will still visit the hospital. Even today after dinner she went to the hospital first before coming back to bed. I wonder if Aaron has a role to play in this. Of late the two seem awfully close. If he has a hand in this then I have nothing to worry about. When I leave at least she will have someone to look after her.
Engrossed in my thoughts, I didn't notice when Aurora came and sat next to me. The heat in her body sent my senses into alert code. She always sits too close to me and I don't blame her. There is something about the darkness that always makes her a nerve wreck. I had switched off the lights earlier to avoid waking her. She is always more than welcome to seek solace in me but just not today.
As she sat there in my embrace with one hand holding a bowl of popcorn munching them while feeding me in the process, I couldn't help but shift uncomfortably. Even with the TV, I could feel a heavy unsettled silence looming over the now tense atmosphere. I could literally even smell the soap she used. What unnerves me though is the fact that even her sweat smells sweet to me. Have I lost it? I need to do something about this and quickly otherwise I will achieve the opposite of what I intend.
'Hey, I've decided to go to the seminary tomorrow,'
'Why? I thought training doesn't begin up until the next two months?' Aurora asked in a surprised sad tone. I'm not happy too with the fact that I have to leave earlier than intended but it is necessary. I'm doing this for both of us. It's for her well-being that I stay away. At least for now till I get my act together. I might come back and meet her before officially begin my calling.
'I just feel like going there in advance. I can't wait any longer. I feel that two months is too far away,'
I could hear Aurora cursing not so quietly but strangely enough, I couldn't make out the words. I'm positive they were venomous but to me, they sounded like a melody. Funny and hilarious. I know she will support me. She always has since we met. It's great having someone on my side since my family isn't. With her support, I can do this.
'What did you say?' I teased.
'I said okay....alright? Now shut up you are interrupting the boring program.'
