Reid waking me up early in the morning. I buried my face on the pillow.

"Mommy, Daddy's not in his room," Reid said as he keeps waking me up.

"Maybe he gets to work, Baby," I murmured.

"His clothes weren't in the closet either."

It was as if cold water had been poured on me. I got up and ran to where Wright's room was. I violently opened its door.

I opened his cabinet one by one. There was not a single garment in it. My knees are weak. I do not know what to think.

"I told you, Mommy. Where did Daddy go?"

    "Hi." I put down the book I was reading and looked up at the owner of that voice. I was secretly shocked to see in front of me the madness of the women all over our campus. He sat in the vacant seat in front of me then handed me a long-stemmed rose. "Uh, for you..."The women at another table started whispering again. The canteen was filled with whispering noises."What did Wright see in that woman? I'm better than her, ah.""She charmed our Wright! That bitch!""Girl, you are disgusting. Your saliva is on my arms, look!"I took a deep breath. I have been receiving insults from them for two weeks now. I'm already getting used to it. I stood up and arranged my book. I also put my bag on my shoulder. "Uh, I can't accept that. I'm sorry."I was about to leave when a warm hand grabbed my arm. The women at the other table sighed. The murmur grew louder. I confronted him. He was still holding the rose and looking at me seriously. "'Don't listen to what others

The noise was coming from Wright's room. I frowned when I saw the two talking seriously. I hid by the side of the door and listened to their conversation again."But, Daddy, are you and Mommy okay? Why aren't you talking?" Reid's innocent question.Wright stopped tying his tie. "There are things you don't understand yet, son.""Daddy, are you going to spend the night at work again? We won't eat together again?" Reid's voice seemed tinged with sadness.Wright knelt in front of Reid for them to level. "I'll be home early because I'll miss you.
