Our Miracle

CHAPTER 14

It has been 4 weeks since Kongpob and baby Aroon had reached back home. These 4 week was really filled with difficulty for the couple as they are not much familiar with handling babies but soon they now know what all should be done. Priya had insisted Kongpob to stay at the hospital for 3 more days since he had to fully recover and should have checkups in his body conditions as we know he has not gone through a normal pregnancy. Arthit's and Kongpob's Mae alternatively stayed with Kongpob and baby Aroon since Arthit had to go for work after all since Kongpob had insisted him to go for work. Arthit' had already told Kongpob that as soon as the project that they were handling in the company comes to an end Arthit would take almost 3 months leave to stay with Kongpob and their baby. Kongpob's pa also said that he would replace the position of A that in his absence, since he know how much his son-in-law wanted to be with his small family as he had also wished to spend more time when his children where born.

Kongpob and Arthit's little angel had been really active the past days since the 2nd day at the hospital. It was very hard for Kongpob along with both his Mae's to drive him to sleep. At early hours of the day Aroon wakes up and starts crying making Kongpob awake from his sleep and approach the baby. But as soon as Kongpob sing the lullaby that he had sang at the first when the baby was born, baby Aroon would Softy drift towards to sleep. And for this Kongpob is grateful.

Arthit's mae always teased Arthit saying that their baby Angel is just like Arthit when he was a baby. Except for the part that the baby woken up early and is stubborn to go back to sleep which he had got from his mommy , Arthit's Mae told Kongpob once that when he was a baby he would never stop crying until his Mae have come and takes him in her arms, and the same goes here with Aroon. Aroon will never stop crying until Kongpob come and take him in his arms and lullaby him to sleep at night or giving him the milk. In the mornings after he had woken up it is very difficult for Arthit and Kongpob to drive him to sleep again so most of the time he would be awake at morning and Kongpob and his parents would play with him. On the other hand when Arthit takes baby Aroon in his arms for the first few minutes he would react or show any discomfort but after that he starts crying loudly until he is back to Kongpob's arms. But in rare occasions the baby would stay quiet in Arthit's arms. Since baby Aroon mostly cries when taken in arms by Arthit, Arthit only plays with him when he is in the cradle or on their bed most of the time.

Today was another Saturday morning. Arthit' woke up when he found that the place near him is cold. He forced his eyes to open and looked at the clock, it was almost 9:00am. Arthit' got up but he was surprised when he couldn't smell any food being cooked or their baby Aroon crying. Arthit' decided to go out of the room and check. He lazily got down the bed and moved outside the room. He was surprised when he found that downstairs lights were off and the TV was not also switched on. Normally he wakes up hearing their baby crying or because of Kongpob's delicious home cooked food in weekends but today was different. He walked to check on their baby Aroon as it has become Arthit's routine. He found that the door was already half opened, he slowly pushed the door and came in sight with his Kongpob sitting beside the cradle in a very uncomfortable position with his right hand inside the cradle which Arthit found that Aroon was catching hold of Kongpob's pointer finger while sleeping.

Arthit' felt happy seeing the baby catching Kongpob's finger but a huge wind of guilt was occupied in his heart. Arthit' felt guilty that he didn't hear the baby cry in the middle of the night. He know that the baby was again awoken at night as he know or else Kongpob will not come and sit here. Arthit' walked foreword and kissed Kongpob's cheeks, and caressed his head. Kongpob opened his eyes with the feeling of someone touching him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Arthit was kneeling in front of him and caressing his head  "P'Arthit..." Kongpob called softly before removing his hand from Aaron's grip. He then turned towards Arthit and saw that his eyes were watery. Kongpob opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Arthit "I am sorry Kong I made you sleep here while I was sleeping comfortably on the bed. I am sorry I didn't hear Aroon cry in the night. I am really sorry Honey." Arthit apologized as a tear stroked down his eyes. Kongpob who was totally confused why his P'Arthit was crying now understood that reason. Kongpob shook his head and cupped Arthit's face before placing a soft kiss on his cheeks. "P'Arthit never ever think like this. It is common for parents to wake up in the middle of the night and this is not the first time Aroon is waking up this early. And P, you have helped me a lot in taking care of Aroon even though he cries when you take him in your arms. I know that you were really tired because of yesterday's continuous meeting at office, so I understand that you are not too well. I am really sorry that I couldn't help you with the work, I am sorry there is lot many pressure coming upon you na P" Arthit shook his head completely disagreeing with Kongpob. "Don't say like this Kong. It is true that work had been giving me pressure but you and Aroon, when I see you both I feel that I am fresh and I don't have any pressure. Your and our baby angel's presence always gives me motivation to live forward" Kongpob smiled widely at the answer and hugged Arthit tightly as if never wanted to leave him.
