“That's exactly how I feel when you go away”, she said crying her words out.
“Don't worry, I'll be back soon”, he said consoling her.
“Your trips makes me wonder how hard you work for me, for us. For this coming child of ours”, she whispered.
“That's not something about my business or so; that's all about us. About our parents, about you, about so many people that are connected to me. You know that? Don't you?”, he replied.
“Don't know why it happens. But whenever you go, it feels like a part of my inner soul that parts its ways from mine. Whenever you go, it feels like, will I be able to see you the same I'm seeing you right here standing in front of me?
Will I ever be able to call you completely mine?
Will I be able to call you with the same name and with the same affection when you return back to me, wide spreading your arms and keeping me inside the warm wrap up of your chest, gently pressing my head onto it, tightly hugging me with that same aura and that safe-zone of your hands covering my head to shoulders.

It's like I think if you would ever be the same gentleman you always have been to me. Guarding me, treating me with all that respect, keeping bit of a trace on my emotional needs and my dreams.
More like, a second person always standing right besides me who is a part of my own”, She spoke firmly, with a voice that was almost inaudible to anyone but his ears.

“Don't you feel this negativity inside your head ever again, my love. I have always loved you. I will always do. Yes, that's another thing that I love her more than you, but that doesn't changes anything. I'm at times there to guard her too, but right now I'm here with you, and will always be besides your heart”, he said kissing her forehead with the same gentleness she always loved him for.
“Well then, promise me. Promise me, when the next time you come home, you will spend that entire time cuddling me and the new gift we are soon going to have in form of God's own miracle, your baby child.
Promise me, you will love her the same way you love me and the one you're always up for”, She said with a few tears in her eyes.

“I promise. Promise that I surely will do all the things you just asked me to. I will always be the roof above your head and the one we are going to be blessed with. Infact, in a way like you don't even have to ask me for it again.
So, if you allow, May I bid you my farewell for now?
Someone is dying to have me back in that cruel world to safeguard her”, he said.

(Shooking her head and with a kiss on his lips, she murmured) “Happy journey”.
(That's all she was able to say in her shivering voice to him.
Those goodbyes were always the hardest thing for her to deliver.)

He came back, fulfilling all his promises.
A promise to guard her, ‛her’ and the new born in his little family.
Being a gentleman as always, he came back.
This time not holding a bag full of gifts, but wrapped in a Tricolour.
