You and Rami are married for three years now and it is not easy being married to one of the famous actors in Hollywood. Rami always was away from home and he only comes back for a few days. Or worst, once in six months.

Currently, Rami is out filming his new upcoming film. It's been almost six months since you personally saw him. You would always video call on Skype if he was available. But there were many times when you couldn't because he was too busy with his upcoming film.

You were looking out the window in your daughter's room. You were thinking about Rami at the moment.

"Mommy?" You heard your 6-year old daughter called you from her bedroom.

"Yes, honey?" You looked back and went to sit on Ivy's bed.

"When is daddy coming back? Can he go see my ballet dance tomorrow?" Ivy asked with her innocent and sweet voice. Your heart would ache every time she would ask that.

"Soon, baby. Don't worry, I will ask him if he is available okay? But if he is not, I can take a video of you dancing so that he will see too." You told her. You tried not to let your tear drop. It alrrady broke your heart knowing Rami probably couldn't attend to his daughter's first ballet dance.

"I already miss him, mommy." She pouted and lowered her head.

"I miss him too, sweetheart. Your daddy wouldn't want you to be sad right now. You sleep now. We still have to prepare you for your dance. And maybe after the presentation, we will buy your favorite vanilla ice cream that you always want, okay?" You said and stroked her hair and you tap a finger in her little nose.

"Yay! Thank you, mommy." She squealed and you smiled while you tucked her to bed. "You're always welcome, dear." You kissed her forehead and stood up to go to the living room. Before leaving the room, you heard Ivy said, "Good night, mommy. I love you."

"Good night, baby. I love you more." You said before closing the door behind you.

You sighed as you walked going to the kitchen to get something to eat. It was already past eight and you still haven't heard from Rami yet.

Ivy was the only one who would cheer you up when she would notice that you're sad. Rami made you stop working from your work ever since you got pregnant. He said he would be the one providing for your family by continuing to be an actor.

You were happy about his decision, but a part of you doesn't since he is always away. He almost missed most of Ivy's first time. There's been even a time when he almost missed you giving birth to Ivy. Luckily, he convinced his producers to have a family leave for a while to be with you.

He would send you handwritten letters whenever he's away. Handwritten letters are your favorite even though there is already a new way of communicating.

As you were eating, you heard your phone playing your ringtone and you quickly jumped up from the couch to get it. You saw the caller and it was Rami. You pressed the answer button quickly.

"Hello?"

"Hello, my love. How are you doing?" He said. Oh, how you missed his voice.

"I'm doing alright. I just got Ivy to go to sleep. She asked about you." You said as you sat back on the couch.

"What did she ask about me?"

"She asked when you are coming and if you're going to watch her ballet dance tomorrow." You said. You felt your voice getting shaky.
