chapter 41: Jinxing?
Sky's POV
With each passing day, I feel like I'm passing a milestone and achieving something great in life which I didn't even feel during all these years of hard work and numerous acknowledgements from the business world. But now, I'm feeling it. And the whole credit goes to my one and only husband, Eco Walker. Yes, it's him.
Eco doesn't have any weird food cravings but his mood swings are beyond ones imagination. I regret saying that he's normal. He's far from normal but can't even categorise him as weird because that'll be an understatement. Just none knows what goes on in his mind, including himself.
"Damn! This cat is becoming more lazy day by day." Eco's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
I look at him and see him holding the sleeping cat in his lap. The cat is happily resting on his baby bump. Eco is watching some TV series. It's the habit that he developed recently. Watching is not bad but his choice is. He picks the most dramatic shows and puts those in actions in real life, literally experimenting on us, especially on me.
"Baby, sleep." I tell him because it's past sleeping time but he's still watching the show.
"Just 10 minutes more, this episode will finish and I'll sleep." He replies to me but his focus is on the TV.
"Which episode is this?" I ask him.
"Episode 10." He mumbles.
"And you keep saying this one episode since you were at episode 5." I sigh out.
"It's the last, I promise." Promises are meant to be broken, especially Eco's promises, that to very pregnant Eco.
"One last and then I'll be the one to turn off the TV. I won't listen to excuses." I warn him sternly.
Along with him, I wait for the episode to finish and when it does, he himself turns off the TV. He gets up and puts the cat in his bed before walking to our bed, he's waddling actually. It kinda looks funny but cute and adorable most. He keeps saying he feels as if he's carrying not one but many babies and complain that our baby is fat. Knowing his mood swings, I don't take his words to heart since it's all pregnancy part that's speaking. When he reaches the bed, I jump down and help him get on the bed as I lift him up and put him on the bed myself.
"Thank you, baby. I felt like I was climbing a mountain." He thanks me but I shake my head at his words as I too lay down next to him.
Being tired of day's activities, we both close our eyes and drift off to sleep immediately. During the middle of the night, I hear someone sobbing. At first I don't pay attention and try to sleep. But soon the sobs become loud and clear. It wakes me up from my sleep immediately when I remember about very pregnant Eco. Is he the one that's crying? I open my eyes and look at him, it confirms my doubt because he's really crying. I turn on the night lamp and move closer to him.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you feeling any pain?" I ask him worriedly.
"Baby..." He wails while pulling my nape down and hugging me, "why is Juli so stubborn? She didn't go out on a date with Aan which made him angry and they broke up because of that."
Imagine my shock when I hear his words and realise it's a scene from the series he was watching and he's actually crying because of it? At midnight. Crying for a series. What should I do? I feel like by the end of his pregnancy, I'll go crazy instead of him. I sigh and exhale before seperating from the hug and come face to face to him.
"Baby, it's just a series. Don't take it to heart and cry because of it. It's 2 in the midnight, please sleep and let me sleep." I plead him.
"But Baby I'm hungry." He shows his puppy eyes and pouting lips.
"Fine!" My voice somehow comes out loud even if it wasn't intentional.
"Baby, are you getting angry at me?" He asks me innocently.
"No, of course not. I'm your husband. Ready to do anything for you at anytime." I force out a smile and leave to bring him food.
Going to the kitchen, I open the pantry and pull out a box of donuts. I'm sure Eco wants this, he don't usually ask for anything else except for it. I also grab a carton of strawberry milk and head back to our room.
"Baby, get up." I call Eco while I put the food on the table.
"Help me!" He mumbles. I help him to sit up and hand him the donuts box.
He takes the box and opens it. He stares at for a moment before looking back at me and suddenly his eyes fill with tears. It worries me.
"What's wrong?" I ask him in panic.
"You don't love me anymore." He wails, his crying started.
"What? Why are you suddenly saying that?" I query confused.
"What did you bring me?" He cries out.
"I bought donuts." I say, "you like them, don't you?"
"Of course I love them." He facts out.
"Then what's the problem?" I'm stressing out at this point.
"I don't want them." He replies and puts the box away.
"What else you want then?" I throw my hands up in the air.
"Baby, are you getting angry at me?" He pouts and looks at me with sadness.
"I'm not." I sigh and sit in front of him, "tell me what you want to eat?"
"I want to eat ice cream now, donut ice cream." He sniffles as he comes close to me.
"Donut ice cream?" Is there a thing like that?
"Yeah, all you need to do is crush the donuts and add ice cream to it. Mix it well and donut ice cream is ready. I want to eat that now." He nods his head as he tells me the recipe.
I sigh internally but nod at him as I leave again to bring him donut ice cream.
Am I by any chance jinxing my words? Last time when I said Eco is normal, he took a 180 degree turn and making me go insane with his mood swings. And just a while ago I thought he doesn't have any weird food cravings and now he's already asking for one. The lesson I learned is to keep my mouth shut and don't think anything when it comes to Eco.
I prepare the donut ice cream as he asked for and go back to our room to find him sleeping.
"Baby, get up and eat." I try to wake him up.
"I'm not hungry, I'm sleepy. Don't disturb me." He pushes my hand away as he mumbles and a second later I hear him snorn.
I look at him in shock for a minute. Closing my eyes, I inhale and exhale heavily until I feel normal. I put the bowl back in the kitchen otherwise it'll make the room odor bad and finally lay on the bed to sleep.
The morning arrives and I get ready to leave for work. Eco is still sleeping and as yesterday night he slept late, I let him sleep without waking him up. Standing by his side, I look at him with a smile before bending down and kissing him on his forehead. I move further and place a kiss on his baby bump as well. With one last look at him, I leave for work. I'm again busy with work as our collebration with the foreign clients clicked so well and they decided to work with us again. Our new product is in process and I've a meeting today with the manager lady who Eco mistook last time. The meeting goes well and we discuss about everything before coming to conclusions. It's already lunch time but our discussions still continues.
Suddenly, the door to my cabin gets open and there stands Eco. He has a big smile on his face and my lunch bag in his hand.
"Baby, I bought yo...." His sentence stops midway and his big smile turns into a frown when he sees the lady.
"Eco?" I call out while standing up, "why did you bring me lunch? You could have sent the driver."
I walk to him as I talk. It's such a hassle for him and exhausts him. He could have send the bag by someone. Why tire himself?
He don't answer to me and even though I'm standing in front of him, he gives me a death glare and hands the bag to me before walking past me. He goes to the lady and stands in front of her. She smiles but gets confused and then looks at me. I make my way to them but before I could even reach or say anything, Eco grabs the water glass from my table and splashes on her face.
Doomed! Next is my turn, I'm dead!
