The flight landed at around one thirty early in the morning. Mark was here to got me home.
"Mr. George, do you need anything?"
"No need Mark. Let just get home."
"Mr. D told me he had arranged everything for you to visit the Head Quarters."
"That's great. Did you get the visa for Litta Moon?"
"Yes it's done, sir."
"Thank you Mark for taking care of her while I was away."
"It's my pleasure MR.George. She is just like my little sister." I saw his eyes filling with tears. "I hope you will be with miss happily and in this home."
"You have my word, Mark. I will look after her very well."
When Mark dropped me at home it was around three in the morning. I went to my room had a shower and went to check on her. She was fast asleep hugging her teddy. And fuzzball was sleeping in his crate. Her sheet was thrown away and curved herself into a ball.
I sat near her and tucked her loose hair away from her face. Slowly I took away the teddy she was cuddling and kissed her face. Sleepily she got hold of my loose t-shirt and turned to aside. After lying beside her and getting her close to me I tucked ourselves with the warm blanket.
Slowly I turned her to my side and cuddled her to my warm embrace. I could feel her warm breath on my chest through the t-shirt, giving me a feeling of wanting her. But I gave up that thought and slept after giving her a kiss on the forehead.
A sudden feel of someone walking on my body woke me. I see Fuzzball up and exploring me as he hasn't met me before. I got him close and curled up into a ball and patted him till he fell asleep. He settled down near the wedge between me and Little Moon. She hasn't moved at all, still fast asleep. I wanted to wake up but I didn't want to wake her so I stayed as I was and checked the news and the messages I have got.
I have received thank you notes and congratulations from the team and others. They had been worried because I let them early without telling them. So I sent a message on the drama team chat group,
"Hi Guys, I am sorry for leaving early yesterday without telling you all. I had to catch a flight so I can come and spent some time with my dear girl. Hope you guys will forgive me. :) Stay safe and be good. Wait for the news about the editing and when we will premier the show on tv. I will post updates from time to time."
I remember Mr.D had arranged some scholarships for the talented ones I found on the set. So they can further study without being a burden to themselves or their parents. My only hope they will cherish this opportunity.
Little Moon seems to be sleeping a bit longer today. so I silently got off the bed and went to the pantry to make some breakfast. I made some scrambled eggs with brown bread and a hot pot of tea. She had stocked her fridge with many types of food and specially snacks. I am so happy that she doesn't like alcohol at all.
As I went past the office room, I realise how messy it has been. Her new work was lying around here and there. Since I have time till she wakes up I cleaned the office and arranged everything properly. Some of the paints were still wet, so I laid them on the table to dry out while I cleaned off the paint and its brushes.
That's only when I found her pretty old sketchbook. Actually, it's not a sketchbook but a scribble book. She has written so many little notes about this and that she saw, felt, or observed. I read through them one by one. Seems like she has been a lot lonelier during my absence. Why didn't I catch her feeling down before, she was always cheerful and happy snd encouraging. Hiding her emotions is something she is good at.
Her notes mentioned her friends, with whom she stopped keeping in touch. Whatever misunderstanding they had, might have caused her whole world to collapse. I couldn't find a single trace about her friends anywhere. Maybe I should let go of the idea to get her back with her friends.
"Ted... did you make breakfast?"
She still doesn't know I came back. So I went to the pantry and got sketch her,
"Do you really love to sleep in my warm embrace?"
She looked surprised as she had seen a ghost. She was speechless. I went and hugged her giving her a good morning kiss on her forehead to wake her up from the trance. She looked at me again as she couldn't believe it.
"I came early in the morning," I said with a peck on her face.
"Oh...why didn't you wake me up?"
"How can I wake up a cuddly bear and get attacked in return," I said to her jokingly.
"Meow" II heard a little noise and looked down, to see Fuzzball waiting for his breakfast. While LIttle Moon had her tea, I gave Fuzzball his breakfast and sat opposite to her and watch her eat.
"Won't you have breakfast?"
"Watching you eat is filling me up," I said to her while gently stroking her cheek at the same time.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Hmm... I am ok... but I missed someone so bad. I am wondering how we should spend the time together."
"Oh.. Even though you have finished your work I still have a lot to do.." she made a little face.
"Today we'll finish the work and tomorrow we'll go out and next week we have to go and see Brother D."
"I almost forgot...Wait how can I finish my work before that.." she asked.
"We'll find away. Don't worry."
