I Promise

Innocent mind

AN: There will be no conversation in this chapter since Venice can't talk yet.

-Venice-

One day I opened my eyes and realized that finally I came to the world. Everything felt really foreign that made me cry loudly. I felt really sensitive, the cold air, the touch or the adults who help me get out from the womb, the blood smell, and the clinking sound of medical equipments.

I thought there would be a warm hug from a human called "mother" to console me but they put me in the small box after cleaning my body. I waited to be fed with warm milk from my mother's breast but I ended up drinking milk from a plastic bottle.

I can't even feel sad because I don't know what "sad" or "happy" is. I can't say I'm confused because I can't think yet. But I know one thing that I yearn for: a warm hug from an adult called "mother".

After I spent some time in the small box and drank milk from a plastic bottle my eyes caught the presence of someone with a kind eyes and a sweet smile. He looked at me with pitying eyes and a sympathetic expression. I'm not sure about this adult, could it be the "mother" who I yearn for? But why didn't this adult see me sooner? Aren't we supposed to be met right after I open my eyes?

The other adult takes me from my small box and hands me to this other adult. It feels different, rather than a soft and round body that I usually feel when the adult holds me. This adult feels hard and flat (?). (AN: guys sorry I don't know how to describe the human body LOL).

But one thing for sure, I feel warm. Like engulfed in a soft warm blanket and soaking in warm water. I can hear this melody from his chest that makes me calm. I suddenly feel safe. This is the warmth I'm looking for.

After that I fell asleep, this adult made me relax and I went to sleep before I even knew it. When I wake up I am already back in the box, that adult has gone, I want him, I want to feel warm and safe again like when he holds me. The soft adult held me but the feeling was different, it didn't feel as warm and safe as that adult.

Now I can differentiate them. That soft and round adult is a "woman" and the hard and flat human is a "man".

After some time that adult came to visit again. I'm more than pleased to see this adult. I feel joy and keep looking at him.

"Hello baby, Pete is here, you can call me P'Pete naah~" this person said.

He took me to his warm chest and cradled me. I love it! I keep looking at him and his half moon eyes are also looking at me, he keeps smiling and it makes me feel special. I still drink from a plastic bottle but since he's the one who holds the bottle it tastes different, I like it more when he's the one who holds the bottle.

One day the adult woman pushed my box to a room, then I saw P'Pete. He took me and showed me to another man who was lying in the bed. He looks displeased, but I can see his eyes softening when staring at P'Pete.

Since that day, I come to this room from time to time P'Pete said I can call him Pa Pete and the other person Pa Vegas.

Pa Vegas is different from Pa Pete, he never holds nor seems to care about me. His eyes only look at Pa Pete, sometimes he'll look annoyed when Pa Pete holds me and plays with me. Because of this I always cry when Pa Pete takes me near him, I feel not welcomed and he looks scary. I don't like him and he don't like me too. It's a mutual dislikes.

When I staring at the ceiling in my box waiting for Pa Pete to come, suddenly My eyes caught another person, but he looks younger than Pa Pete, he's a teenager. He looked like he's not sure about something, he kept looking at me, so do I. I kept looking at him. Small and sharp eyes, with dark brown iris the same as Pa Vegas, is he going to act cold towards me too? but he's not as scary as Pa Vegas.

***

The box is really boring, sometimes I feel like I want to explore and see many things rather than just a starring at white ceiling. But of course I can't I just born a week ago.

Until I woke up in the teenager's embrace. At first I'm confused but then I realize the place where I usually sleep in the box is different. This is a new place, with a different smell. It no longer smells weird, this place smells nice, I can feel the natural breeze rather than cold temperature from AC. I like this place.

Pa Pete told me to call the teenager Phi Macau. He's not as scary as Pa Vegas but I can feel his doubt while holding me. I don't want to crossed him but suddenly I felt hungry, and I cried asking for something to eat. My plastic bottled milk!

Phi Macau looks panicked and annoyed at the same time but then Pa Pete comes and gives the bottle to Phi Macau. Why don't you feed me Pa Pete??

But Phi Macau fed me gently, okay I will not complain again. I'm hungry! I kept sucking the bottle and fell aslep after I got full.

When I wake up again, I realize the ceiling is different from the one I used to see in the previous place, but I can't see anyone and this place feels new. I'm scared and my diaper feels wet, it's uncomfortable.

I cried and Pa Pete came. He changed my diaper and cradled me for some time before he gave me to Pa Vegas. Pa Vegas feels flat and hard like Pa Pete but there's no warmth in his embrace like Pa Pete. How can they all feel different? This far I love being held by Pa Pete the most.

Then I saw them collapsing their lips for a long time until Pa Pete's face became red, I'm afraid Pa Vegas makes Pa Pete hurt, he looks like he can't breathe. Don't hurt my Pa Pete! I was going to cry to separate them when finally Pa Pete pulled his body from Pa Vegas. He looked out of breath but Pa Vegas tried to pull him again. I can't let this happen!

I cried as loud as I could. I will not let my Pa Pete out of breath again!

Pa Pete then took me to his embrace again and cradled me. I don't favor Pa Vegas so much! If I'm not crying, Pa Vegas might hurt my Pa Pete!

Then Phi Macau came and Pa Pete let him hold me. This is not okay but Pa Pete wants to finish the box where I can sleep. He called it the crib, for this I can cooperate.

After Pa pete finished my box I thought I could sleep on it right away, since I feel sleepy after sometime. It turns out I need to see them arguing about something that makes Pa Vegas look scared. Haha, serve you right Pa...

Then I saw Pa Pete smile in Victory after the argument. Pa Pete can be scary sometimes ....
