Rosaline sat on William’s lap, straddling him, both covered with bubbles.She traced his face with her fingers. “When was the last time you slept well?” Rosaline asked, guilt evident in her voice.“I was just busy.”“Too busy to sleep.”“Don’t worry about it.”“I can’t help it. I don’t like it. I hate seeing you stressed or worried.”“Then don’t leave me again.”“I don’t plan to. If I have to go, I will kidnap you and bring you with me, keep you locked up in the basement for myself.”“When did you become so humorous?”’“Picked it up in the streets of Egypt.”“How did you manage to travel around the world?”“I worked remotely.”“Were you tired?”“It was hard at first, but then I got the hang of it. It was fun and fulfilling.”Rosaline kept talking about how she managed to go from one place to another, met Timothy, and how CARE started. She massaged his shoulders and neck. He was stiff as she continued talking.He listened to her in rapt attention, asking some details here and there.

William widened his eyes in realization.He could not believe himself.Over the past three years, he had had nightmares where Rosaline had gotten pregnant. She and their child had struggled, and they both hated him for not being there for them.But the moment they met, they did it again, twice and without protection.Rosaline looked at his ashen face and could not help but giggle.“Why so scared? I won’t get pregnant just like that.”She stretched and muttered.“Let’s eat out. I’ll take the emergency contraceptive.”She looked away and said under her breath.“And let’s buy some condoms along the way. Contraceptives are bad for health. One or two is fine. But we should avoid it.”William was embarrassed when he heard that. He was also equally ashamed of himself.How could he let her take responsibility for that as well?“I am sorry. I will be more careful in the future.”“Don’t make that face. It’s not like either of us planned to do it as soon as we met. It just happened. Don’t worry

In the morning, Rosaline groaned as she heard her alarm ring.She stretched out her hand to turn it off, but William beat her to it and pulled her closer.She was not sure if that was a dream or real.“Sleep a bit more. I will help you with work later.” William whispered.He wasn’t sure if she heard it, but she asked, “William?”“It’s me, baby. Get back to sleep.”She then fell asleep smiling.‘Still a sleepyhead and a piggy.’William thought, amused by her. He looked at her and caressed her for another hour. Most of his restlessness and worry were gone in a day. Every time she asked “William?”, his heart would be full of happiness.And each time he saw her body relax as he responded to her, he knew his worries and insecurities were in vain.She did care for him. He had a place in her heart, and she let her guard down with him. She trusted and relied on him.These realizations washed away most of the fear and doubts he had lived with for the last three years.He got up after a while

While education was important, it was expensive to provide education for everyone.As long as you have good sense and there is one skill you excel at, you can manage.CARE had few people like that - like a skinny girl who seemed timid of her own shadow, but her drawings were vivacious. A sturdy boy was naturally talented in Mechanics.Timothy had informed William with pride how he was a troublemaker and would pick fights for no reason before Miss Rosy had helped him see reason and driven him to a better path.An eight-year-old autistic boy was a gifted photographer.Timothy had found an old second-hand camera, and the boy seemed more relaxed when seeing things via a lens.That autistic boy had taken several pictures of the sturdy boy fixing an old scooter and turning it into an electric rickshaw.They had made a short video with before and after photos and pictures of him using scraps to fix it. It was inspiring.A seventy-year-old Granny had a hunched back, weak legs, and could bare

“Do you mind if I decorate it?” Rosaline asked William as she looked around the apartment.“I will give you a copy of the keys and set your fingerprints. You can stay here when you come to Z city. Don’t bother with hotels.” William said, ignoring her remark.That made her want to tease him instead.“Are you indirectly saying -NO.” Rosaline pouted.“Just ignoring stupid questions.” William sighed as he pulled their luggage into the bedroom.Rosaline followed him behind, pulling her handbags, and looked around his bedroom.“Who is the other bedroom for?” She asked curiously.“Albert. He used to crash here all the time.”“Oh.”“What is it?”“Nothing. I was just wondering why you have two bedrooms here.”“It’s more convenient when people come over.”“Really? What people?”“Mostly Albert.”“Did you bring girls over?”William thought about whether any girl ever stepped into his apartment but came up with nothing. Rosaline was stunned.‘What is he thinking? Did he have any girlfriends befor
