Yuki pushed open the door of Angela's room with a playful grin, ready to tease her for sleeping in so late. That's definitely concerning because it's unlike Angela. She was always the first to wake up as long as Yuki can remember. If she has been in a relationship for the past years. Yuki would have guessed that she might be pregnant. However from the series of wet dreams that kept hunting Angela. She herself will think the same. “Angela, it’s already 10 a.m.! If you sleep any longer, you might—” Yuki's voice trailed off as she met an empty room. Four-year-old Junior was standing by the bathroom door, his small fists pounding against it with all his strength and his face wet with tears. “Mummy, please come out! Mummy!” His little voice called, he looked worried. That's also very concerning. Yuki thought as her teasing smile vanished, replaced by a frown of curiosity. “Junior…what's the matter, honey?” Yuki asked and walked towards him. As she walked closer to the bathroom,she suddenly heard muffled sounds of Angela’s sobbing from behind the closed bathroom door. Something is definitely wrong! She thought. “Mummy”. Junior replied pointing to the bathroom. Yuki was impatient to know what happened to Angela but first she had to take Junior out of the room. “Junior honey”. Yuki called softly as she approached him, kneeling down to his level. “Why don’t we go get some breakfast, huh? I’m sure Mummy will be out soon.” Junior looked up at her, his big eyes filled with tears. “But Mummy is in there… I want to eat with her”. His little voice came. Yuki sighed. Even the twins refused to eat until Angela joined them. Maybe it's their home tradition to always eat together. Yuki thought. “I know, sweetie,” she said gently, placing a hand gently on his shoulder. “But you see, Mummy just needs a little time alone right now. How about we make her favorite pancakes and surprise her? The twins will be happy to cook with you.” Junior hesitated, his gaze shifting back to the bathroom door. After a moment, he nodded slowly. “Okay, Auntie Yuki. Let’s make pancakes.” Yuki smiled,glad he was finally distracted. “That’s my boy. Come on, let’s go.” She took Junior’s hand and led him out of the room, her mind racing. She had a lot of things running in her mind. Guessing the possible reasons for Angela's break out. “Girls!” Yuki called out to Lia and Liya as they walked into the living room. “What of Mom?” Lia asked. “She is freshening up ,give her food minutes but before that Junior you have something to say to your big sisters”. Yuki said softly to him pushing him forward. “Let's make pancakes…and…surprise mummy!” He announced. The twins giggled at his cute announcement. “Can you two handle that?” Yuki asked them. “Yes, it's just pancakes. No big deal..”. Lia replied confidently. “And you, Liya?” Yuki raised a brow. “I will give it a try”. Liya replied with a shrug. “Good girl now, be careful with Junior don't let him play around with sharp kitchen utensils, I will be back shortly with you mummy”. Yuki instructed. “Okay Auntie Yuki!” They chorused. Once the three were occupied with their cooking task. Yuki returned to Angela's room, her heart heavy with concern. She approached the bathroom door and gently knocked, her voice soft. "Angela, it's me, Yuki. Can you open the door? Please, let me help." For a few long moments, there was only silence. "Angela please open the door,it's me". Yuki continued pleading with her. Then, she heard the faint sound of shuffling from inside. "Angela, whatever it is, you can talk to me.I'm here for you," Yuki continued, her tone tender and persuasive. She rubbed her tummy after her baby kicked. Finally, the door creaked open, revealing Angela with tear-streaked cheeks and red, puffy eyes. Without a word, she stepped forward and collapsed into Yuki's arms, clutching her tightly,but being mindful of his big stomach. Yuki held her, letting Angela sob quietly in the embrace, offering her comfort without asking for an explanation immediately. After a few minutes, Angela pulled back slightly, her voice trembling as she spoke. "Yuki... I need to tell you something. It's... it's eating me up inside.” Yuki nodded, keeping her gaze gentle and nonjudgmental. "You can tell me anything, Angela.what is wrong. You woke up late and ended up this way. I am dead worried. Junior and the girls too”. Angela's hands were shaking uncontrollably as she wiped away her tears, her eyes cast downward in shame. "It's Antonio... I can't stop thinking about him. Even after all these years, I'm still not over him. I.. I've become addicted to... to pleasuring myself while thinking about him. And it's not just that... I keep having these vivid dreams, wet dreams, where he's with me again. Having hardcore sex. It was really painful , sometimes sweet and most times, a mixture of the two. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it. I missed him so much, Yuki. And I don't even know if he is alive or dead." Yuki's expression softened,it wasn't so bad. She thought. She was afraid it was something else. She simply took Angela's hands and squeezed them gently.. "Oh Angela... I'm so sorry you've been carrying this burden for these past years. It's understandable,honey. Those feelings to touch yourself and dreams are completely normal. You are just missing him and the intimate moments you both share." Angela's voice cracked as she continued. "He's been missing for so long, Yuki. They announced he was gone, but I can't believe it. What if he's still out there somewhere, alive? What if I am wrong? What if he is gone forever? I tried to move on but I'm not ready to let him go... I don't think I ever will be. It's all my fault." Yuki gently guided Angela to sit down on the edge of the bed, then she sat beside her. "It's okay to feel like this, Angela. What you're going through isn't easy, and it's not something you should feel ashamed of. You loved him, and that love doesn't just disappear because of time or circumstances and please stop with the self blames." Angela sniffled, leaning her head on Yuki's shoulder. "But what do I do? How do I move on?" Yuki stroked Angela's hair soothingly. "You can take your time”. “For how long?”Angela sobbed. “I am tired,I want to heal Yuki”. She said and broke down crying.
