HOPE

Morning

After a couple of minutes Kate went to sleep. Kristin started thinking about the scary and weird nightmares she was having. She was so scared. After a minute or two, with out knowing how, she started arguing with her self.
"What if this is true? What if it happens?"
"Kristin you know that's not going to happen! Stop worrying yourself!"
"But who knows? Nobody knows! It might be true!!"
"Kristin! What are you thinking!! And do you think anybody will do that?"
"No I don't! But I'm just worried! But Paul said that he's not in good terms with Mr. Anderson."
"Seriously Kristin!! What's wrong with you? You know Mr.Anderson very well. And you know he's not that kind of person! I mean even he is, you pretty much know that 'we're not in a good term' doesn't mean, what you are thinking it is now!!"
"Yes, I do know that, but still! I'm scared! What am I gonna do it if it actually happens?"
"Let's just pray that it won't happen Kristin. That's all we can do right now so chill okay!"
"Yes, let's hope it won't happen!"
"Now go to bed and try to get some sleep so you would wake up with a fresh mind tomorrow!"
Her inner self said to her. So she got up and drunk some water out the glass and went back to her bed to get some sleep.

"Mom! Mom! Mom!"
"H........"
"Wake up mom! Today is the big day ! Dad is coming! Get up mo.....m !"
Kristin had no choice but to get her lazy bones out of the bed as her daughter's voice started becoming louder and its tone became stronger.
She got of the bed looking like something else , totally not a human, her hair being so messed up and her eyes extremely red. It was normal for her to wake up looking crazy but not normal for her to wake up looking like a monster. Well the eyes needed some explanation that was why their maid asked her what was wrong. But Kristin didn't say a word as she didn't wanna talk about what happened an hours ago.
As Kristin went down the stairs the house was in a chaos to make everything perfect for the welcoming ceremony for Paul. As she saw this she felt happy and excited that her husband, her beloved person, is coming and she's gonna see his face after two very long months. But deep inside she was terrified about things. About her nightmares. Her heart was in two places one was the happy and excited part while the other was the scared and worried part of her.
Kate was running around the house singing a song.
"Oh daddy is gonna come
Oh daddy is gonna come
With a very bright face
With clothes for us
And gold for mommy
And chocolates for me
Oh daddy is coming home
Oh daddy is coming home
Today today today today
Is the da................y!"
...
Just saying all the things that come in her mind in a musical form as she was running and dancing across the rooms.

After an hour or two or maybe three everything was ready. The dishes were there in a very welcoming way. The decorations were all over the walls. Welcome home! Was written everywhere and on almost everything. The guests have started coming and almost everyone was there. Now there was only one thing left it was for Kristin to wear her dress. So she went upstairs to her room and opened her closet door.
