Chapter 9

Kit's POV

Ivan is with his friends at med school. He told me before he doesn't have friends. Well, I guess his definition of friend is somewhat different. I just got home and cooking some dinner for myself. Luke is already eating his. When I was finished cooking. I ate at the counter. Ivan called when I was eating.

"How was your dinner?" I asked.

"It's okay, I guess." He said.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, just tired. I want to go to sleep."

"Babe, you do know that you can't hide your emotion right?"

"I know that. It's just... I don't want you to get worried."

"So what is it?"

"I want to go home. To you."

"Babe, it's only for a few months. By winter you'll be here again. You told me that."

"Yes, I know. But being this far from you. It's hard. You had a nightmare last night and I couldn't be with you. Even if I want to."

"It's not going to be always, Babe."

"I know that. But I still worry. It's you."

"I love you. I'll be fine. It was only last night's dream."

"What is your nightmare about?"

"Well, I was alone somewhere and you're there with my family. I kept on calling you but all of you wouldn't answer me. So I panicked and run towards you but when I got to you. You didn't see me at all. And I saw why and where you all were."

"Where?"

"My funeral. Then I woke up and I kept hearing your voice through the phone."

"Oh Kit."

"I'm okay, now. I can still talk to you. Hear your voice. I called Mom earlier. She's worried, of course, she asked if I'm okay. I told her I am."

"Are you really?"

"Yes. Don't worry too much okay. It's only for a few months. You'll be with me again physically. I'll not let you go ever. I love you."

"I know you won't. I will not let you anyway. I love you too. Have you ate yet?"

"Still eating. Luke had his dinner already."

"Did you took him for a walk today?"

"No. We'll go jogging tomorrow. I had a class earlier."

"Oh."

"Babe, you're still worried, aren't you."

"I am. I still want to go home to you. But I know you'll not like it when I do."

"It's not that I don't like it. I'm just thinking that if you go home. You'll stay for a long time and miss a lot in your study. That's what I don't like. It's your dream your pursuing, I don't want to be a distraction."

"Can we video call? I need to see your face."

"Hold on. I'll text you when it's okay to call."

"Okay."

He ended the call. I went to my room to get my earplugs. I texted Ivan that it's okay to call. He did call immediately.

"Hey." I said.

"How many days have we've been apart?"

"3 days. Why?"

"How are you thin?!"
