She's My Sleeping Pill

836 GOOD NEWS WITH A LITTLE BAD THING

Three weeks passed and Cayenne was finally having her semi-final exam, an assessment that has to be done before the finals. She was nervous and at the same time confident that she’d be able to get high scores. Stefan and Kyle had been helping her in reviewing her lessons just to make sure that she won’t fail.

Ever since she gave birth, this was the first time she ever came to school again and it was just to take the exam as promised by the university.

Many students congratulated her for giving birth to triplets and they wished for the children to grow strong and healthy so that they could go home with Cayenne soon. She was really happy to hear their wishes.

Of course, there were some who hated her and wished ill for her children. However, Cayenne didn’t care about them. She would only wait for bad karma to befall these green-eyed monsters who lurk around her.

“Alright, raise your pen,” the professor said and waited for everybody to do it, “Flip your test papers and start. You have one hour to finish this subject.”

The shuffling of papers and the faint sounds of scribbles could be heard clearly due to the deafening silence in the room. No one spoke or read the questions allowed. They were all focusing on the test paper in front of them.

[I’m hungry.] Cayenne thought and started opening her chocolate box. Aside from the pen which was required of them; they were also allowed to bring candies and chocolates during the exam, and Cayenne brought a whole box of dark chocolates to keep herself energized and keep her hunger at bay.

One hour later, she submitted her paper along with the other students before leaving the room and once outside, she stretched her arms.

Noah approached her immediately with Faith beside him. “How was it? Do you think you get a high score? It’s your only chance to make up for your absences and graduate.”

.....

“I think it was okay,” she answered confidently. “I studied again and again for the exam. Kyle also helped whenever Stefan couldn’t. I’m pretty sure I was able to answer 90% of the questions.”

“That’s good for you. Let’s move on to the next class.”

At 4:30 PM, as soon as she finished her last exam for the day, Cayenne slumped on her chair and sprawled her arms on her desk. She felt so tired. Her fingers were sore from writing. Worse, she still needed to come the next day for the other subjects. She felt like crying already.

“Are you going to the hospital after this?” Faith asked while packing her things. “Noah and I will drop by the ramen house near the campus. Would you like to come with us for a moment?”

“Stefan will be worried and I am so tired. I just want to sleep right now.”

“I see. That’s fine. I understand. Is he picking you up?”

“Hn.”

“Then, we’ll go ahead first.” Faith expressed and gave Cayenne an airy kiss on the cheek. “Take care of yourself.”

“You, too.”

“Bye, Yen. See you tomorrow.” Noah waved and left with his arms slung on Faith’s shoulder. Seeing them happily chatting as they walked outside, Cayenne felt a little energized. She was happy for her friends.

Not long after, Stefan came to pick her up and the moment she laid her eyes on him, her energy rocketed off the room. She instantly ran to his arms and hugged him tight to boost her energy even more.

“You’ve done well today. Let’s go back and see the children. They’ll be happy to hear you talk about the test. You can complain to them as well.”

“I’ll surely do that. I’ll tell them how tiring it is to take an exam.”

Little as they may be; they became their mother’s confidant at an early age.

The next day, Cayenne kissed her children goodbye and left for the university again. She has to finish another set of examinations for her other subjects.

On the third day, she only got two subjects left and it ended before lunch break. Therefore, she was able to return to the hospital earlier than expected. Stefan didn’t even know that she would return soon before he could pick her up.

Time flew so fast, the children already turned 1 month from the time they were born. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to them and they were developing pretty well. There was only a little problem. It was a minuscule matter that others didn’t even think was a problem. However, Stefan who paid attention to the children so much even though he keeps denying this fact; noticed that Zeki was a little different.

On the day that they were born, he heard their cry as a sign of them being alive. They cried faintly but he heard them clearly. Yet, now that a month has passed already, he only heard his 3rd child cry twice.

His little princess was the loudest and the most clingy among them. Every time he handed her back to the nurse so she can place them back in the incubator, she would hold his fingers as if wanting to stop him from giving her to the woman. Aziel would cry sometimes but not as often as the princess. Zeki was the quietest. It was hard to tell if he needed something or if he was uncomfortable or whatever. It worried him. He even asked the doctor about it but they said it was normal. The child’s test shows nothing was wrong with him as well.

He wanted to tell Cayenne about his observation but he didn’t want to cause her unnecessary things to worry about. If the doctor said he was fine, he should be fine.

Another month has passed and finally, Cayenne was going to graduate. She may not receive an award even if she has good grades because of her absences, but she was still happy that the admin and faculty allowed her to get a diploma.

Aside from that, their children were scheduled to be discharged on their 9th week in the hospital. They can finally bring them home. She couldn’t wait to celebrate this good news, not knowing that they’ll be challenged as parents when it came to their 3rd child, Zeki.
