Gulf's POV

"Baby, are you okay? You've been quiet since earlier," says Mew as we enter our condo. I'm still bothered by what I saw.

It keeps on pestering my mind and I can't help but overthink.

She's been gone for four years, how could she just show up on the spur of the moment? She really resembles Mild, but how? Was she just hiding from us or did she run away from being a mother?

"What if Mild's back?" Out of blue, I asked.

"Who?"

"Mild," I faltered.

"What do you mean? Mild lives here with you," says the other one, still confused.

A puff of air escaped my lips. How should I tell him? I might have just mistaken that girl as Mild.

"The other Mild," I uttered, straight off.

"What?" With that unanticipated question I asked without notice, he turned to look at me.

"I know this may sound unbelievable but I think I saw Mild earlier in that store," I stuttered, not knowing if I should continue or not.
