The Jerk is a Ghost

42

I was saddened to remember that we had not spoken for several days. I let out a deep breath.

"I really can't sleep knowing nobody's around me."

Silence rang out all around. My lord, he's quiet now.

"You want ice cream?" I break the silence.

He seemed to realize it and replied, "H-I'm not fond of sweets."

With a slump I entered the room and went back outside, carrying the swivel chair

He just silently watched me from the side until I sat down next to him.

"Wait, don't tell me you're just here until you fall asleep?"

"If you don't tell me I'll be here for a long time," I told him bored.

I'm not in the mood to get married but if that's just a way for me to cheer and sleep, it's okay.

I understood his response as he never spoke again. I seem to have distracted him from watching and we both can’t sleep anymore.

"You look bothered," he suddenly state a comment after a couple of minutes.

I opened my eyes, am I too obvious. "There are ... just worries."

"Hmm?"

"My brothers, they used to be sweet and caring for a couple of weeks. I, on the other hand, often put aside their feelings. Until one day, they suddenly avoided me," I said. "Have I been too rude to them?"

He did not answer. I thought he's gonna say that it's because they were busu. "Maybe what they said they were doing a school project is just an excuse to avoid seeing me around the house."

"Why do you say that?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know. If they avoided me lately, it's very obvious."

"Tsk!" He laughed and sighed. I even laughed as I remembered what they had done to me recently.

When I ask Luis for help, he always says, "Ate, After that conversation, Fire and I just walked around, picture here, picture there. Like we did before in Bacolod, we will look for Fire's free accommodation again before dark.

But the difference, this time we have hidden pocket money and cellphone, in case of emergency we have available.

Fire did nothing but agree because I don't want to be broke in another country!

But first of all we enjoyed it first. Just us.

We discussed a lot of things. It's just like his health status. I would still cry as she asked this and how she felt.

If there is an improvement in his condition or if he is getting a checkup.

At first, he doesnt want to answer my question but because he saw me cried a lot, he left no choice and answered it.

I was shocked.

Shocked is an understatement on what he said.

Im a happy yes, but sad at the same time because the good thing is he's not sick, but the sad thing is that the result is real and it's from someone very dear to his heart.

After that, we decided to go back to the place we stayed this morning.

"What's up?" I asked Fire after seeing gathering of less than 15 people in an open space.

"They have an activity to do. Want to join Mi?" He said as if he was planning something I wouldn't like. I narrowed my eye and challenged him to tell the truth but he said it's something fun to do. So here it is, I agreed.

I did not understand what Father Kiko told us. They are the only ones who understand each other.

"What did they say? The one we're going to, let's stay with them tonight? Then what's 2 by 2?" I ask here.

I saw him nod his head then answered me.

"Yes, Mi. I've already made a choice, I've been courting it for a long time but it's not really responding. But they're kind, and I know that I'm sure we'll have a place to sleep later. And for 2 by 2. We're both going to a place, that's it "he said smiling.

Why does the head really seem to be planning something. "Fire, stop that! The child might fall!" I disobeyed him.

He laughed and followed me. He adjusted the load to Aki, "Stop that. Mommy's getting angry."

"No, Daddy! More! More! Aki superhero! Aki superhero!"

I was shaken to approach them. When I got closer, I was immediately greeted by Fire's kiss that I have been used to in our four years together. After that, he touched my waist and then looked at our son I was wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"You see? You just finished bathing and getting dressed, you're sweaty again." I said to my son.

"How's your day, Aki superhero? Did you hurt Mommy's head while Daddy was away?" Fire asked to our son.

"No! Aki good boy! Aki love Mommy!"

I was just shaken. To this day he still does not speak very well. He even murmured once.

Later, Fire turned to me. He kissed me again on the lips then he asked me.

"How's day with this kid?"

I snorted, "It's okay. But I'll be in the office tomorrow. I haven't been out in a week."

He groaned, "Baby, eh. You're just here at home. Just take care of our child."

I asked him, "Are we going to fight that again?"

He groaned again, "Fine. You can work tomorrow."

As usual, nothing new. Whenever we have an argument, I still win with the two of us. It wasn't like before that it was a long time before he gave up. Now, he gives up right away.

He sighed when I smiled so I sealed him with a kiss and hugged him to the side, "I love you."

He rolled his eyes at me, but, "I love you, too." Oh isn't it? This one is also fragile.

In the evening, after we put Aki to sleep in his own room, Fire and I went to our room together.

When we were both lying down, he immediately hugged me and I did the same to him then he kissed me. After a while, he also stopped.

"Are you still taking pills?" he groaned when I nodded, "Aki is growing up. When are we going to follow him?"

I nodded and pressed my head against him, "He's still a baby. Maybe when he's five? Maybe?"

He groaned, "The duration. It's been almost two years, eh. Don't you want to follow him?"

"I want to. But Aki's naughty. And one more thing, I want to pour my love on him first. Of course, when he has a brother now that he's young, I'll split my attention with them. Of course, I'll breastfeed on baby just in case. How about Aki? Who will take care of him? "

"Let's hire a nanny for him." he suggested as he played with my hair.
