- Dining Room

We open the pot, and have our breakfast. I went to Cedrica's room after I dressed up, but found out she went to work. So my friends, and I had our breakfast on the floor. The room was not as big as my apartment, but won't lie that it's cozy, and the seat pillow is very soft too.

A capybara entered the living room after we finished the meal. Charlie introduce his tiny friend to me, and let me know that it will stay with me whole day.

"So if you need to go somewhere, take him with you" He signed, and pointed at his tiny friend.

I nodded, and gave him a hug before he went out to work as all my friends went out to find a job.

"Hi, I'm E-L-I-S-A" I signed to the capybara letter by letter.

It let out a trilling squeak lift it's head up, revealing a name tag, "Hardy".

I nodded, and we shook hands. I put on the apron, and tied my hair into double layered pony tails, one at the fringe, and one at the back. Hardy helped me cleaned the dishes, and do the laundry. We cleaned the entire house, took shower, and then went out to the market. He insisted I brought 4 fishes that we have left at home, and at first I was hesitated since it's all the fishes we have left, but since my lover trust me with him, then I will believe him.

People here are pretty nice, they greeted me with motions in their hands, and welcome me with opened arms. We bought some rice, carrots, and dandelions after the villager's advice, they even suggest me some of their traditional food! I think that was enough to make the dinner tonight, and the breakfast for Giles, Zelda, and Dimitri tomorrow. My lover and his mom needed protein diet, so I bought them some eggs which is surprisingly expensive.

We went home after we got all we need, and started rinsing the food. The first day as house wife is not as bad as I thought! I hope all my friends enjoyed their working.

- The dyeing factory

I knew nothing about dying frabic, but since it was next to the Herb, and medicine house where Dimitri is working, I guess I'm gonna work here. I entered the garden, and start collecting flowers to make the dye.

And everything was normal until I started to smell something weird...something metallic… I ignored, and continue working until I finally stepped on something sticky.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

(Author's Note - Dimitri's Point Of View)

I rushed to the dye garden next to medicine after I heard Zelda's scream. The villager followed not far after me, and found Zelda sat on the ground with her eyes are focused downward.

"What happen?" I asked, and knelt in front of her.

She curled herself up, and squirmed. What happen? I tilted my head, and looked at her again as her eyes remained on the same place.

"Oh! She's on her period.", I told the villager, and they looked at each other in confused, "It's the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from her inner lining of the uterus.", I explained, and they looked even more confused, I guess they must have another name for period. Then I must explain it in simplest term, "She is having monthly genital bleeding.".

"Oh!" they all nodded with a smiled.

Zelda looked away as the villager were speaking in the language we don't understand. They all nodded at each other, and signalled us to take Zelda inside the hut.

"Alright," I sighed, and helped her stood up.

That's a lot of blood! Both on the ground, and her legs! I gasped, and she looked at me.

"That's a lot of blood!" I gasped, and place my hand on her forehead, "Are you okay? Are you sure this is normal? is it suppose to come that much?" I asked, and she sighed in annoyment.

I scooped her up in my arms, and took her inside the medicine house. I waited outside with the male workers as the nurses took her inside a room, and later let her out with a bulgy skirt.

"Keep this for the next day." doctor said, and handed me something wrapped in a banana leaf, "Your wife is still stress, I suggest you take her somewhere to relax.".

"Free day off for you both." Zelda's boss added.

So I rode her wheelchair to a field by the river, and let her relax as we watched the fisherman catching the fish by the sunset.

"Were you disgust?" she asked out of nowhere.

"What?"

"My period," she replied, "Were you disgust?".

(Author's Note - Zelda's Point Of View)

"Nope," He replied simply, "I saw blood countless time already, I just don't know how much woman bleed."

I laughed, and looked at the fishguy, "If it's Brewster, he would already rush to the bathroom, and separate room with me."

"I'm sorry about your divorce."

"Don't be." I meant it.

I'm relieved honestly, I'm finally free from that mother f*cker. The days he cared about me was long gone.

"It's the best decision I've ever made." I told him

He moved to sit next to me on the ground, and held my hand, "Don't worry, I'll always be by your side. After years of living in a fake life, I want to have a family. I will try my best as much as a man could."

"I'm used to having you as a friend", I told him, and he nodded hopelessly, "But I don't want to end the possibility between us though."

He quickly looked at me with a smile.

"It might work, and might not work, but I wanna give it a chance." I told him, and he nodded.

The fishguy came up from the river, and walked toward us, 'Guess what we caught.', he signed, and showed the basket. It's 6 fishes, and some seaweed, 'Let's go home' he signed, and we nodded.

He turned back to waving goodbye at the fisherman, and then we go home. Elisa served the dinner on the table, and we talked our first day a people here. It might be a difficult time, and we all still have to adjust to many things here, but it isn't that bad though, way better than Baltimore actually.

"They asked me what I could do I do a raw sketch of their hut right in front of them from a charcoal, and their all gasped as if I just invent a photograph" Giles laughed as he's enjoying his fried rice, "Can't believe now I'm working as a sketcher-for-hire."

"Well, congratulation." Dimitri replied, "I'm working at the hospital, and studying fair folks hybrid." he added, "Actually my boss interest in your case too, can you come with me tomorrow?" he asked Elisa, and she nodded.

"Still have no idea where this baby need to be born" Elisa signed, "Maybe water, maybe land."

"Have to ask Axxy(the doctor)" the fishguy added.

"At least we have 8 months before the baby's born" Giles comment.

"Don't think so." I told him, "That's the size of three months" I added, and point of Elisa's tummy.

"And it's only a month after we first mate" the fishguy signed, and Elisa knocked him.

- Woman Bathroom

I lowered myself into the hot tub, and sighed as Zelda undid her skirt. There's something look like a folded cloth between her legs with a rope around her waist that holding it up.

"What's that?" I signed.

"Amazonian sanitary pad, I guess." Zelda replied, and unfold her undergarment.

There were something that looked like wood shavings inside, and a large leaf beneath it. Zelda folded the shavings inside the leaf, and throw it in the bin.

"Easier I thought." Zelda murmured, and washed the stained cloth, "I was worried sick when it first came at my work place."

"I'm sorry." I signed, I don't know what's the people reaction here, but if I'm her I would roll myself up and die by embarrassment.

"It's okay" Zelda replied simply, "Dimitri was there, and the villagers seemed to be fine with it, actually." she added, "But if I could have children like you, that would be amazing."

"You can play with my child." I signed.

I know it can't replace her stillborn, but I wouldn't mind her looking after my kids.

"Beside, you aren't barren." I added, "Dr. said you can still have children."

"With who?" she chuckled playfully.

"You know who" I signed, we're all know Dimitri got crush on her.

"Nah" she replied, "Just let me play with your baby sometimes, ok?"

"Anytime".

I entered my bedroom in pajama, and found Charlie sitting grumpy in our water bed. So I get inside, and moved to sit next to him.

"Something troubling you?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Want to talk to father" he signed.

"Want me to call him?" I asked, and point at my bracelet.

He nodded excitedly, and I pressed the blue bead in my bracelet. It glowed, and then a chirp of greeting followed. Charlie chirped back, and then a small conversation began. I don't know what they were talking, but I guess sometimes this big guy just wanna talk with his dad. So I listen to them chirping for a while before the conversation will end after the bead stop glowing.

"Are you free tomorrow?" he signed.
