"Grandma? Are you not going to Korea anymore?" I asks them through the phone.

"Ah, yes. Your Grandfather and I are a little old, but we'll tell you when we're going there." Grandma says that made me sighed.

"Okay grandma, just tell me okay?"

After that she end up the call, I'm just cleaning Shua's condo, I guess Shua and I will just live in the house I built. Because I'm going to have a family and I'm going to give birth in a few months, but this week Joshua and I didn't get along very well. Why? Because of his sullenness, he was always out of mood so even I was not in the mood, we were still next to each other in bed but sometimes I couldn't put him next to me.

Maybe he has someone else.

I shook my head and continued cleaning, I was distracted because I heard the door open, I saw a tired Joshua and he immediately sat down on the couch.

"Hand me your bag, I'll put that on your room." I said.

He handed me his bag so I headed to his room and put his bag on his study table, I went out of his room and look at him busy with his phone.

"How's work?" I ask him, trying to cope up with him.

"So tired." He answered.

Why did his answer falter?

I just nodded and continue to clean, when I finished I sat beside him and rested my head on his left shoulder, but he didn't let me.

What's really into him these days?

"Shua?"

"Hmm?"

"Is there any problem?" I asks him.

"There is no problem." He answered.

Although I was hesitant, I just nodded, I cooked our dish for dinner, my taste is still okay but sometimes the taste is ugly. 

"Are you done?" He asks me.

"Almost." I answered.

And our surroundings became quiet again, I'm not used to this because then when he was tired he still talked to me and caressed me, but now it's really different.

Of course, that was before, now it's different.

When I'm done cooking, I prepared two plates, utensils, and two glasses, as usual. This is how we become routine when he comes home, and my daily routine is to sleep, clean and so on. And here we are again, becoming quieter again, quieter now than before, and this is what I'm not used to.

Think of a topic, Naomi.

"Can I work now?" I asks.

"No, you can't work yet." He answered.

I just nodded and ate again, and I couldn't say anything more, I couldn't think of anything so our situation became awkward. When we finished eating, I put away the plates, utensils, and glasses we had used. Instead of me do the dishes, he stopped me, and I looked at him in astonishment.

"I'll do the dishes." He said but I just shook my head.

"All you have to do is relax, you're even more tired than me, Shua." I response.

"You’re more tired because you cleaned this condo, then you’re still pregnant, you really need to rest, Naomi." He said.

I sighed in defeat and went out of the kitchen, I headed to his bedroom and lay on his bed. I'm not sleepy yet so I'll pay attention to the phone first, I want to talk to Joshua tonight, because I don't know what's going on with him.

"Angel." He called me by the endearment that he gave for me.

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?" He asks me.

"Yes, I'm okay," I answered.

"But how about you?" I asks him.

"You’re not getting okay these past few weeks, and you’re acting weird." I added.

"Yes I'm okay." He said and lay beside me.

He hugged me from the right side and kissed my neck that made my feel weak, he's touch make me weak, and of course he's kisses too.

"Josh..." I said.

"Hmm."

"Stop for a minute."

"If I stop for a minute, will I kiss you again?" He asks and it made me chuckled.

"You can kiss me after we talk." I answered.

"What are we going to talk about?" He asks.

"About you."

"You're acting weird these past few days." I answered

"Oh sorry my angel, I’m just a little stressed at work." He said.

"And I'm sorry if I'm still carrying my stress here, maybe the baby has already stressed for her Daddy." He added.

"But tell me next time you're stressed, I'm worried about you." I response.

"But you eat enough on time, don't you?" I ask and he nodded so I sighed in relief.

When it became calm again I just stared at him, his face came closer until he kissed my lips, I could do nothing so I kissed him back. We stopped to gasp for air, I look at his eyes and it's close so I smiled, I wish, that those eyes will look at me and stare at me the way it use to be before.

"I love you Josh."

"I love you, my angel."

"Just wait a minute, Shua."

"What are you talking about?" I asks him.

"You leave without saying goodbye, I wish I had accompanied you for a walk in the park." He answered.

"I don't want to wake you up because I know you were very tired yesterday," I answered.

"didn't you come from work yesterday?" I asks him.

"But still, I want to be with you when you walk, maybe something else will happen to you." He said.

"I bring my phone, I turn on the location of my phone so you can locate me." I said.

We both sighed, I sat on the bed with my back to him, who is pregnant with the two of us? Me or him? If I can contribute or get irritated like a pregnant woman, I scoffed, I still don't want to lose my mood right now because I'm with him, but this is what happened.

"My angel."

"What?"

I was just surprised when he was in front of me, I was even more surprised when he knelt in front of me and a small box came out, he opened it and I saw a...

Ring...

"Josh.."

"Naomi."

"Will you marry me?" He asks.

Yes! Of course!

"Yes! I'll marry you!"

As I answered his question, we stood up and hugged each other, I cried because of joy, and finally, my dream came true, I'll marry the man that makes me happy...

I'll marry you Joshua...
