CHAPTER 41

  ~

  I spent three days in and out of the hospital. I went home thrice to prepare food for Anne. She woke up the second day and the doctor said I could take her home on the third day. No, we're at home. My joy knew no bounds. "Are you crying?" Anne asked.

  "What? No, no, I'm not. My eyes are just watery." I lied. She nodded her head and continued eating her food. Seeing her back home makes me so happy.

  I don't know what I would have done if I had loosed her. She finished eating. I took her to her room, and we slept together.

  It was in the afternoon, and -- Anne and I were watching a movie. I was glad, we've been living in peace, not a perfect life but in peace. I heard a click from the backyard. It was sharp and loud.

  Who could be there? It was definitely not my neighbour. Recently, I've not been comfortable in this house, like someone was watching me.
