I sat down on one of the cushion chair in the cozy room facing the best woman in my world (tuhamworld). At that moment, i was still trying to recover from the shock of the incident that recently happened and she had came on a mission to make me get over it faster.
   She looked into my eye and expect to see a sad face but was surprised when she found out am smiling. When i look back into hers, it was written all over her face that she is worried.

 We then talked about something else and i did ensure she got a smile on her face before she left my place - a location in one corner of the world known to only few of my loved ones.
