Kaino's POV

Things have been better from the past two months. It's not believable but it's already been two months since the incident with Zayn has happened. It's not a small thing for us to forget but slowly we're coping up. Mainly Parker, he has been getting better as the time passes.

I've finally settled myself at a job. I need not had to search for long as my resume is clean and adding to that my experience in foreign country gave more weightage. So, when I applied at ten prestigious and well known hospitals in the city, almost all the hospitals accepted me. And I choose the one which I thought best depending on my circumstances and requirements.

It's been one and half month since I started working and everything at work is going well.

As per Parker, for now he's staying at home and taking the time to get back to normal. Staying at home doesn't mean he stays quite all the time, he keeps himself busy almost all day with one thing or the other. He starting learning cooking. He said he doesn't know how to cook and Zayn was the who used to cook for them. As I'm not good at it, his cooking is helping us. If not we would have to depend on delivers and takeaways. And being a doctor, I'm not in favor of that.

Apart from cooking, the other thing he spends his time is gardening. This house has a huge backyard. Parker said previously there was a gardener appointed to take care of it but now Parker is looking after it. He plants a new plant every week, cleans the area everyday, cuts the weeds and waters the plants everyday. He spends almost four hours in there, if it's not taking care of plants he just sits there and spends the time in nature.

I sigh as I stop the car in the garage and climb down before getting into the house. My shift today has ended an hour late as there was an emergency just before I was leaving. So, I had to stay back and tend the patient before finally leaving.

"Why did you come home so late today?" My steps halt before I could even step into the house when I hear Parker's voice.

I look up and see him talking to me with nervousness evident in his eyes. I don't know why but he gets worried when I come home late. It happened once before when I joined the job, the first day. I got busy with keeping up with everything as it was my first day and forgot about time. When I was done with things, I realised I was late. That day when I got home, he was almost having panic attack and he calmed down after seeing me. Maybe because of what happened to Zayn, he feels scared and worried. He might think I would end up like Zayn.

"There was an emergency case I had to attend." I reply and walk into the house. Maybe I need to message him from next time.

Going to my bedroom, I walk directly to the bathroom and discard my clothes before taking a fresh shower. Working as a doctor, I have to deal with patients and alcoholic medicines all day. So, the first thing I do when I reach home is clean myself.

After getting freshen, I get out and get dressed in nightwear before going to the living room. Parker brings the food and sets everything on the dining table. I head to him as it's time to eat. I settle myself in the chair while Parker fills the plates with food before sitting in his seat. We eat in comfortable silence until Parker opens his mouth.

"Kaino, can I sleep in your room?" He asks surprising me that I stop eating for a minute.

Though we live together in the same house, we have our own bedrooms. While Parker stays in their old bedroom, I have my own. In this past two months Parker never said something like this, so it's surprising me as why now he suddenly asked me if he could sleep in my room.

"Sure," I agree instantly but ask him my doubt, "is something wrong?"

"Umm..I keep having bad dreams almost everyday. It's all blood everywhere and the worst thing is I see Zayn in there, with blood and all. Maybe because I'm staying in the room that we shared, I feel I'm having those dreams. Also, it would be good to have someone beside me when I have those dreams instead of me being alone." He explains while staring down at his plate.
