I remembered that day. 3 September 2014. 8 am.

I was in bed with my husband. It was just me and him. I smiled as I watch him still sleeping soundly. Why does he look so cute even when he sleeps?

Then I saw him fluttered his eyes open as he looked at me. "Morning Pumpkin", he smiled. "Morning", I kissed him on the lips. He then came closer to me and hugged me like a pillow. I could feel his warm hug as he wraps his hand around me. "I have a surprise for you", he whispered in the ear.

I turned at him," oh really? Then what is it"

"I can't tell you yet, it's a surprise." , he smirked.

"Can't you just give me a hint?"

"Not after you and me have a bath first", he smiled and carried me in his arms to the bathroom.

"Hey! ", I giggled.

10 December 2014. 9pm.

I was at the kitchen making dinner for the two of us. Suddenly I felt someone hugging me from the back.

"Hey Pumpkin, what are cooking?", he hugged and kiss me on the cheeks.

"It's your favourite. You'll know", I smiled.

"Well then, if that's so. Can I help you with it?"

"If you insist, then Mr. Walker", I giggled.

"Well then, Mrs. Walker. Let's start cooking."

We laughed. We had a wonderful time together.

3 February 2015. 3pm.

I saw him coughing non-stop. Down there I felt something wrong was going on.

"Ken, are you okay honey?", I rubbed his back with my hand.

"I'm fine. It's just a small cough that's all", he continued coughing.

"But you don't look okay"

He reached for my hand, he tried to  smiled at me, "I'm going to be fine"

I tried to give him a smile but I couldn't. I was worried sick. What if something happens to him?

I remembered the time when I was about to cry,

"Hey", he cupped my chin," Everything alright?"

I looked at him as he wipes my tears with his thumb.

"I...I..." , I was speechless. I wanted to tell him about the miscarriage but I couldn't. 

"what is it?", he put his arms around me.

"The baby..."

"What about the baby hun?", he looked at me.

"Miscarriage..." , I looked down and start crying again.

He hugged me tight. I loved being hugged, it felt so warm and loving.

"Leah?"

"yeah?" I sniffed, trying to stop crying.

"Don't cry for me, I don't want to see sad seeing me like this"

I reached for his hand and hold his hand.

13 March 2015. 1 am.

He was coughing again. It's been months and months he's condition like this. It worries me even more.

"Ken? Ken? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine"

"Don't you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay hun , I'm fine"

"I'm going to get some warm water for you", I stood up and went downstairs to get the warm water. 

When I went upstairs, I dropped my glass and broke. Ken was lying on the floor. Blood was everywhere. 

"KEN? KEN?" , I kneeled down trying to wake him up.

I missed him and he's gone. Tears was starting to fill in my eyes and it start to fall down my cheeks.

I crumpled the paper with my hand and threw it on the floor. Everything I ever wanted. A baby, a person I loved... all gone.
