A kindred Spirit
Today was a chilled day. I didn’t have much to do. Noah was already at school, and I was here at

home just relaxing.

After my mental breakdown, I decided to take some much needed break from work. My students

weren’t happy about it, but they understood that I hadn’t been myself the last couple of weeks.

I planned to resume after I give birth. My focus now was my kids and the Hope Foundation.

I’m still trying to come to terms with all that happened these past few weeks. Including

everyone’s change in behaviour.

The only one who seemed to be consistent with her hateful personality was Emma. The rest seem

to have had an overnight change of heart.

Instead of focusing on those thoughts. I push them away and pick up my phone and dial mom’s

number. She picks up on the first ring.

“Hey mom” I greet her. I wasn’t completely used to calling her that, but I was slowly getting there.

“Ava!” She screams through the phone, always excited to hear from me. “Theo, my love, our

darling daughter is on the phone“.

I hear shuffling before a sort of echo fills the phone. I just know that she’s put me on loudspeaker.

“Hey dad” I greet him too.

Their love honestly fascinated me. They were together since they were thirteen and they’re still

together years down the line. More than thirty–five years later.

If I was still chasing after love, then their kind of love is what I would have been looking for.

Instead, I’ve accepted that love is just not for me. I’m now set and prepared to spend the rest of my

life alone.

“Hey darling, how are you doing?”

“I’m doing good. Not much going on. I just wanted to check up on you guys“.

I still haven’t told them that I am pregnant.

Even though I’m starting to show, it’s easy for me to hide my bump with oversized t–shirts. I just
