* Be with someone who loves you enough to fight for you. * **** Tuesday was always a stressful day for Miranda as she had a line of patients to attend to. During the afternoon breaks, she received a text from Joseph that says they'll be going out for a date later that night. Reading his text created a sense of longing in her heart, she realized just how much she missed him though it's been just seven hours since she last saw him. But yeah, love can be crazy at times. Against her better judgment, she gave him a call. And as if he had been waiting for her call all along, he picked up on the first ring. “ Hello, Babe. ” His sultry voice filled her heart with warmth. “ Hi. ” She answered back sheepishly. “ Missing me already? ” His words were followed by a loud chuckle and Mira found herself blushing hard. She looked around for her assistant and was thankful the latter was not in the room with her, or she would have gone through another round of teasing. “ Yeah. ” Her honest answer got an, “ Awn… ” From him, which was really cute. She loved when he said that. “ Me too. ” He continued. “ Sometimes, I wish you can come work over here so we won't be so far away from each other. ” Mira felt the same too, but they both knew it was impossible. “ I'm a clinical psychologist, Jose. ” “ I know. ” Silence reigned between the duo. “ How has the day been? ” “ A bit exhausting. But it's okay. ” She had learned to be completely honest and transparent when it came to her work. “ Okay. Don't push yourself too hard, Kay? ” They both understood what he meant. How well can a psychologist push herself too hard? Simple. By thinking too much about other people's problems and issues. “ Alright. So how's your day going? ” “ It's going well. I'll be heading over to Dad's company in an hour, I need to supervise the activities going there. ” “ Oh… so Dad's retiring completely? ” Mira found it difficult that he'll be letting go of everything he had worked so long and hard for that soon. “ Yeah. He claimed he wants to focus on his family. He wants to be a big supporter of his wife's poultry business. ” “ Oh… ” Mira could only imagine how much that hurts to say. “ I still believe everything happens for a reason and there's a purpose for the pain. ” “ Is there? ” “ Yeah. ” No words were spoken between the duo, the silence was comfortable as they both understood each other. “ Have you had lunch? ” Joseph broke the silence yet again. “ Yeah. I had pancakes and eggs. What about you? ” “ I don't have much of an appetite. So I simply had a glass of coffee and cookies. ” “ Alright then. ” “ Babe? ” “ Um? ” Mira recognized that tone so well, he only used it when he had something super important to tell or ask her. So as always she prepared herself. “ Have you thought of what you'll do with Dad's house? ” “ Not yet. ” She thought of the childhood memories which were attached to the house. Though the memories wouldn't be so intense as it once were, since the house has been inhabited by other people. Yet, she can't deny the fact that so much of her life was attached to that house. “ It's okay. You don't have to come up with a solution yet. ” As always, he was super understanding. Sometimes she wondered if God had viewed her pain all these years and then decided to give her a recompense for it all. Because of one thing, Joseph was more than she could ever ask for. “ Thank you, Jose. ” On the other end, Joseph squinted his eyes hearing how she addressed him. “ You'll never stop calling me that would you? ” “ Thank you, Hubby. ” Mira blushed hard at her own words, though it's been more than a month since they've been married, she still found calling him Hubby not so easy. She will with time. She was comforted by that. Time heals all wounds after all. “ My pleasure, Babe. ” He sighed. “ Yeah. ” “ Enjoy the rest of your day and don't forget our date tonight. ” “ Okay. Thank you. ” “ Um… ” “ Take care. ” “ Yeah… ” “ See ya. ” The call ended minutes later, I dropped my phone on the phone stand, as I rested my back on my chair. I was lost in thoughts, but a knock at the door brought me out of my reverie. “ Come in. ” The door opened to reveal a young brunette with blue jeans, white top and blue jackets. Her feets were donned with pink flip flops and her head was donned in a matching hat. Mira noticed that the young girl's eyes were read and puffy and almost immediately a word came to her mind. “ Breakup. ” …. A/N : Shoot! So what do you think guys? Who's the girl and what's the issue with her? Any guesses?
