Prologue
This morning, I woke up at 7 in the morning. In the small bed beside me, I saw my five month-old daughter still sleeping peacefully.
'Great,' I thought. 'Now I can do my chores without any interruptions 'till Aryssa wakes up.'
I started off by taking my bath. Then, after putting on a light blue blouse and black slack, I started of my daily duty by making breakfast. While I was chopping the vegetables, I looked out the window. Then, the words my husband whispered to my ears before he left for London rang in my ears.
'I'll be back soon, my love. Wait for me 'till then.'
I saw the sweet smile he gave him when he said those words. I smiled by myself in the kitchen. 'I will wait for you forever, my love.'
Realizing that I've started to daydream I immediately continued my work. Usually when my husband was sent to London, I don't bother to make breakfast but today, today was different because today, two of my friends are coming for a visit.
An hour later, I've finished making breakfast. Few seconds later, Aryssa began whimpering.
I smiled hearing that my daughter had woken up. I immediately went to my room and took my baby daughter in my embrace. As soon as Aryssa was in my embrace, she stopped crying. She looked at me with her big amber eyes; the eyes which she got from her father.
I stared at my baby. Oh, how much she does look like her father. Her big amber eyes, her chestnut-colored hair and her white skin; she looks more like an English girl than an Asian girl. I let out a small laugh.
I then was put out of my own daydreams when I heard my baby's voice. "Are you hungry?" I asked her while giving her my small finger to hold.
Aryssa laughed a little and that made me smile. 'Now, with Aryssa in my life, I will never be lonely when he's not here; at least a little.
I said to my first-born daughter, "Come on, Aryssa. Let's feed you up." Aryssa just laughed at what I've said. Maybe she understood, maybe not. I took Aryssa down stairs and sat on a nice and comfy couch in front of the television. Then, I unbuttoned my blouse so that I could breast-feed my daughter.
It was only 10 minutes and Aryssa had already fallen asleep. I smiled at her sleeping face. 'Oh, she does look like an angel.' I thought to myself. I stood up and put Aryssa in her playpen which was located in the living room so that it'll be easier to hear her when she wakes up while I do the chores.
After I've finished cleaning up the kitchen, the living room and the family room, my doorbell rang.
"Coming," I said but not too loud so that I won't wake Aryssa up. I opened the door and saw my purple-haired friend with amethyst eyes and dark-blue haired friend with dark blue eyes hidden under the thin-rimmed glasses.
"Hey, my best cousin in the whole, white world," cried the purple-haired woman on my doorsteps.
I laughed. True, we are 28 years-old but I guess my friend still likes to act childishly. I laughed again. Hey, what the heck, we're still young after all.
"Come on in, Tomoyo, Eriol," I told my friends.
"Thank you, Sakura," Eriol said, stepping into the house with Tomoyo by his side.
"So, how's my niece doing?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Tomoyo but Aryssa is asleep right now." I told them with a smile.
"Oh, I was hoping to play with Aryssa today," Tomoyo pouted.
"Come on, sweetie, we don't want to wake Aryssa up, right?" Eriol reasoned with her girlfriend.
I giggled. "Why don't both of you get married, than you'll have one of your own."
Both Tomoyo and Eriol went red. Both don't know what to ay next, obviously embarrassed about what I had said. I laughed again, harder but not too hard that will wake Aryssa up.
"Uh, so, when is your husband coming home from London?" Eriol asked, changing the subject. Clearly Eriol was still blushing even though it's not as bright as earlier.
"He'll be back tomorrow night," I answered.
"So, is there anything you wanted to give him?" Tomoyo asked.
'Oh yeah, tomorrow is our 9th anniversary," I thought. I smiled. 'I wonder what I should give him.'
"Hello, is anyone home?" I heard Tomoyo said while waving her hand in front of me, trying to snap me out of my own world.
"Hai, hai," I told Tomoyo.
"Geez, it's rude to ignore your guess like that," Tomoyo said, pouting.
"Yes, Tomoyo-chan, I'll remember that," I said, laughing. Soon, I was joined by Tomoyo and also Eriol.
After everyone had stopped laughing, I led them to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I made sushi and rice balls.
While eating, Tomoyo asked me. "Do you remember what happened before this, my cousin?" Tomoyo asked playfully.
I just smiled and nodded my head as an answer. Of course I remember. How could I forget; how could I forget everything that happened that made me have this happiness?
