QUIVA

The time stopped ticking but my chest feels like it has a ticking bomb inside, like it's going to explode anytime now, and that bomb is my heart. I don't know if he can feel it, but I hope not.

"Ghad, I miss my baby." He said huskily. I thought I was going to pass out from my erratic heart. How I long for his hug. I truly miss hearing him call me baby. A tear left my eye, more followed after hearing what he said next.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry." He said it so sincerely, I even think that he's crying. I don't know if he is really crying. But his voice was shaking.

I don't want to be fragile. I don't want to be weak for him. But even though I wasn't sure what his apologies were for, I hugged him back.

Damn! I miss him so much. I dreamed of this everyday. I missed his touch. I miss feeling the heat of his body. His smell, his voice, his beautiful face, everything about him. I couldn't stop myself from hugging him back. So tightly. I encircled my arms around his neck.
