Morning comes.
The couple wakes up late.
It's already 8:00 in the morning when John finally woke up, he immediately opened his eyes to find his wife, he saw her holding baby Angel in her arms, breastfeeding their daughter.
She looked at her. "Good morning, husband!" she greeted him with a wide smile plastered on her face.
John slid an arm around her waist from behind, thankful that everything that took place last night was not a dream. His wife finally come home!
This is awesome, marvelous and simply one of the happiest moments of his life!
This is one of the best days of his life after experiencing total hell when she suddenly disappeared from his side.
"What do you want to eat for breakfast wife? I will treat you to a breakfast in bed," he said while nuzzling the exposed skin of her arms.
Catherine planted a kiss on her husband's cheek. "Bacon, hotdog, scrambled egg with lots of tomatoes, onions and garlic, rice and hot coffee," she said.
"Alright, I'm gonna prepare it in the kitchen," he said happily. He went inside the bathroom and splashed water on his face and get out of the room heading for the kitchen wearing a wonderful smile on his face.
Catherine reached for John's phone at the bedside table and call her cousin Grace.
"Hello... John...," Grace's answered the call.
"Cousin, it's me, Catherine! I'm back now in Infinity Jade Tower after I disappeared for a few months. Can I talk to mother, please?" she asked.
Grace was speechless. "Hello Catherine, is this really... you?"
"Yes cousin, it's me, Catherine! Have you already forgotten my voice?" she said.
"OMG! It's really... you cousin! Thank God, you're finally back safe! What happened to you? Where have you been? Are you okay? You're not hurt?" Grace continues firing a million questions at her cousin.
"You have lots of questions, cousin. I will answer them all one day, but not right now. Can I talk with my mother and siblings first, please?"
"Okay, hold on a second. I will give the phone to your mother they were downstairs eating breakfast," Grace said.
There was a pause for a moment.
"Catherine, daughter! Are you there?" Thelma's voice shouted at the other end.
"Mother, yes it's me, Catherine! I miss you all!" she said.
"Oh my God! It's indeed my daughter! I will come there at your place I want to see you. I'm so devastated when you disappeared, I'm so worried about you! Where have you been? Answer me!" Thelma demanded.
"Don't worry Mother, I will ask John to fetch you and my siblings so that you all can visit me one of these days, okay?"
"Yes, do that ASAP, please my daughter, we want to see you, we are happy that you are finally back. God has truly heard our prayers, you're finally back!"
"Okay Mother, please tell my siblings that I miss them so much! I have to end our conversation because we are going to eat our breakfast. I will call you guys later," she said.
"Take care my child and please, don't disappear again," Thelma said, her sobbing can be heard from the line.
"Don't worry Mother, I'm alright. I won't vanish again. Please stop crying, okay? I'm home now safe and sound. No need to worry about me anymore. Bye... Mom!" Catherine said. She placed back the phone on the bedside table.
John entered the room and placed the tray laden with foods on the bed.
With great appetite, they started eating.
"Is that your mom you are talking awhile ago?" John asked.
"Yes. I called cousin Grace and Mother, I told them am already back home, they were so happy!" she wore a bright smile on her face while talking animatedly to her husband.
"So, tell me what you plan to do tomorrow?" he asked.
"I plan to stay in this room for the next three days. I just want to make sure that this is not a dream, that I am already back home with you and the babies. Is that okay with you, husband?" she asked.
John smiled affectionately at his wife. "We can stay inside this bedroom with our babies as long as you want. Your wish is my command, wife," he said, gazing lovingly into her eyes.
"Thank you husband," she beamed at him.
"My father is already back in our country, I will introduce you to him later," he said.
Catherine nods her head. "I can't wait to meet your parents!" she responded.
They finished eating their foods in silence.
...
That afternoon, Hector was happy to finally meet his daughter-in-law, alive!
They chatted for a while.
...
In the next few days that follow... Catherine did not leave the master's bedroom. She enjoyed spending her time with her husband and her babies in the confinements of the room. It's a happy reunion for the couple after being separated from each other for more than 10 months.
