The knock on the door wakes me up from my slumber.
I stare down for a moment, the baby is peacefully enjoying his dinner on my chest, his face shining of the same glint his father always carries.

"Come in, Van."

"Hi, aka, sorry for disturbing you, I cannot sleep, can I sleep next to you please? "

I smile and quickly give her a spot to sleep on the bed. Seeing her staring at the empty ceiling, I ask her while rocking the baby gently,
"Van, why are you not feeling sleepy? What are you stressed about? "

She gasps at me in astonishment, "how you always do this aka? How you always know when something is wrong? I am just worried about the job interview. I hope I get selected. Its going to be a great milestone for me."

"Have confidence in yourself Vanshikha. You're a great graphic designer and believe me you'll be selected. Relax now." I say with a smile.

Placing the baby between us, we both step into the world of dreams.
