We've been here for more than two hours straight.. without Kai.

I didn't want to disturb his mom who is sound asleep.

I was wide awake... I was waiting for him.

I could just run to him now.. But he left me with a big responsibility.. Take care of myself and his mom.

Suddenly, his mom woke up. " Honey, aren't you sleeping?"

" Huh? Me? No aunty.. You can go back to sleep. I'm fine.."

She didn't reply back but then after a long silence....

" You're waiting for him huh?"

I looked at her and nodded.

She smiled but tears were falling from her eyes.. Why?

I wanted to ask her but I forced myself not to.

I turn to look away when suddenly she said..

" He always talks about you.." She smiled.

" Me?"

" Yes.. Day and night.. Every second of the day.."

" But we don't really spend time together that much for these past few weeks.."

" You were still his topic, sweety."

I frowned.. knowing that I never treat him right for the past few weeks..

" Do you have other kids of your own aunty?"

" No.. Just Kai. He's amazing.. He was there for me when my husband passed away.. He took care of me.. He protected me.."

" He is amazing.." I smiled as I agreed.

" You were much more amazing to him, sweety... I believe you knew that already?"

" Yes aunty.. But I didn't let him know that I felt the same towards him."

" Why not?"

I told the the story of my mom..

"..... and that's why I couldn't bring myself to love anyone or get attached to anyone.. "

" I understand.." She smiled..

I noticed Kai and his mom smile a lot.. They were really beautiful people. Just like Kai said to me before " If we learn to smile even though when things go wrong, nothing in the world is sad.. It depends on how you look at things."

I thought of his words.. Suddenly it made me smile but with tears along..

I realised I've loved him all this while.. Just that I was too afraid to let him know.. I hope its not too late to tell him..

" Aunty.. why does Kai get sick often? Is he okay?" Finally I'm asking questions about Kai that I was longing to know.

" Ohhh about that.. He's not well.. Nothing serious. Just that we can't afford to pay or buy medicines .. He limps a lot when he's in pain .. "

" Ohh.."

I answered as I remembered him limping.

" Aunty.. what's his birth date?"

" Its January 14th , dear."

" Ohh.. did he celebrate with you?"

She frowned.. " No honey.. We couldn't afford to buy a cake or buy the ingredients to make one..And I was very sick during his birthday.. "
