[Morning]
[10:00am]

Vilu: (Came out from the toilet) My love, you ready? Let's head down for breakfast.

Leon: (Staring at the window)

Vilu: Leon...?

Leon: (Mumbled) It all happened here....

Vilu: (Came over and hugged him tightly) Leon... I know your like in a shock after that horrible experience but we really need to eat breakfast.

Leon: I don't feel like eating...

Vilu: Come on, you need to eat something.

Leon: Can I be honest with you?

Vilu: Okay?

Leon: This is probably not what I expected for our honeymoon. It literally just took a turn for the worst after we fought and then that dream occurred... This is not what is it supposed to be. And your not EVEN pregnant. When couples come back from their honeymoon, there would've been a chance of the woman actually becoming pregnant.

Vilu: How do u know?

Leon: I just know...

Vilu: Well... Do you want me to be pregnant?

Leon: Yes but after everything, I have a lot of doubts.

Vilu: About?

Leon: About you actually becoming pregnant.

Vilu: You NEVER know unless you try.

Leon: So What are you suggesting?

Vilu: (Giggled) Nothing. I'm just... Saying. Is it wrong?

Leon: Don't try using reverse psychology on me. Its not working.

Vilu: That's because I wasn't.

Leon: You sure?

Vilu: Alright, maybe a bit.

Leon: I knew it.

Vilu: Okay, so tell me. What are YOU suggesting to me now?

Leon: ............

Vilu: What's wrong? Tongue Tied?

Leon: No...

Vilu: Come on. Admit that you want it.

Leon: Want what?

Vilu: Oh, you know.

Leon: I don't know what you are talking about

Vilu: Sure you don't.

Leon: Let's eat breakfast now shall we? (Nervously opened the door)

Vilu: (Smirked) Sure, whatever you say.

[Afternoon]

Leon: (Lying on the bed)

Vilu: (Came) Leon...

Leon: (Turned the other side)

Vilu: (Sat on the bed) Don't be upset. Christmas is less in 3 days.

Leon: And?

Vilu: It's going to be our first time spending Christmas this year as a married couple.

Leon: I know...

Vilu: So cheer up. Don't dwell on that dream. I'm still here. And I'll never leave you. Please, I beg you to be happy again.

Leon: (Sigh)

Vilu: Please Leon.

Leon: Alright, I'll try to be happy.

Vilu: (Smiled) Thank you.

Leon: (Smiled)

Vilu: Plus I was thinking.

Leon: Of?

Vilu: What present we should give everyone back home.

Leon: Just buy something for them.

Vilu: Actually, I was thinking of something else.

Leon: Which is?

Vilu: Something money can't buy. And even if it can, it won't be the same.

Leon: I'm confused.

Vilu: (Stared at him)

Leon: What? I'm serious. I don't know what you are talking about.

Vilu: Well I was thinking..

Leon: Of?

Vilu: Giving our family back home...

Leon: (Waited for a answer)

Vilu: A Grandson or a Granddaughter.

Leon: Wonderful. Just adopt one.

Vilu: Are you testing me Leon?

Leon: (Sigh) Find, I know what you mean. But are we ready for that? Are you ready to be able to carry a baby in your stomach for 9 months and make sure that it is well fed and taken care of?

Vilu: You sound like we are going to get a pet or something.

Leon: You know what I mean.

Vilu: Well, If you are by my side taking care of me, I have no doubt that I will be able to do the same for our child if we do have one. (Smiled)

Leon: (Smiled) So...

Vilu: So what do you say...?

Leon: I- I don't know what to say. How about you? What do YOU say?

Vilu: I've already said just now and that is my final answer. I'm ready whenever you are. Now I need your answer.

Leon: (No answer. Just looked at her)

He ain't gonna give an answer. I'm sad.
