I HATE YOU, BUT

Alena is getting ready to accept Davian's rampage. Therefore he resigned when Davian pulled him away from the cafe where he met with Malvin earlier. They stopped at the clear river bank. Davian sat him on a bench under a shady tree.
“Where is the file!” said Davian flat and cold. Alena handed the file in her hand stiffly. Davian took it, took a quick look at it and put the file behind him.
“Huh, thanks to your meeting today was chaotic,” complained Davian made Alena feel more guilty. He should have prioritized the file Davian had left him with. Not just talking to his ex-girlfriend.
“I'm sorry,” Alena lowered her head. Until now he has not dared to look at Davian. He was embarrassed to show Davian his ugly face.
“If you feel guilty, lift your face now!” he said with a high tone. Instead of complying, Alena just bend her face. Davian's way of talking to him was like asserting that he was suffering from living with Davian. Suffering because he lives with a man who hates him.
Alena sobbing. He feels so pathetic. Meeting Malvin apparently only opened an old wound that almost no longer hurt.
“You are why it is so difficult to arrange,” Davian is impatient again then his hand is raised touching Alena's chin and then raises the girl's face towards him. He hissed concernedly looking at his wife's expression now. Alena tried to turn her face away but was arrested by Davian. The man now cupped his face and his gaze softened.
“Crying again, this time what's the reason?” her tan was worried and her hands swiftly wiped away the tears on Alena's cheeks. He was shocked to hear the unusual tone of the way Davian spoke.
“You didn't cry because of your melancholy story to that guy, did you? You told her that your life suffered so much and you wanted to leave me, did you?”
Alena blinked her eyes, did Davian hear all of his confessions to Malvin?
“Then, the man. Is he the Malvin you dumped?” davian asked, this time Alena heard a dislike tone.
“Davian, I,.”
“Sssst..You talk too much. Sometimes you have to be quiet and if you want to spill your heart, come to me.” Davian prevented Alena from saying more. She held her hand gently to embrace the girl. Alena didn't think Davian would treat her like this. Davian's change of attitude really surprised him.
“Am I too bad that you chose to cry in front of the man instead of in front of me?” whispered Davian. Alena nodded weakly.
“I'm sorry,”
“Stop apologizing or I'll punish you upon arrival at home later,” Alena this time smiled and she wrapped her arms around Davian's back. It feels so warm. Can he linger in this position? Davian hugged her gently like this? Her life could be perfect if Davian would treat her like a wife.
“Alena..,” whispered Davian.
"Yes?”
“I love you.”
Alena was surprised instead of playing around hearing Davian's statement in her ear. He let go of the man's embrace and looked at his face. Davian was so serious when their eyes met each other.
“Ka-u loves me? That right?”
“I don't need to repeat it, do I?” he said closer, then kissed Alena's lips gently as a form of affirmation.
“Do you love me too, Miss?” Davian asked after his face drifted away. Alena held her lips and her cheeks hinted in embarrassment.
“Since when do I love me?” instead of answering Alena, she asked a question. Davian groans furiously.
“You're too noisy, Mrs Fernandez. Can you just answer my question?”
“Why? I'm curious.”
“hmmftt.” Davian sighed then pulled Alena close to him.
“No idea,” whispered. His gaze straightened at the clear water flowing in the river right in front of them. Alena felt herself warm and her tears were dry already. He looked up at Davian who looked dazzling, always dazzling in his eyes. The man smiled, revealing such beautiful dimples.
Alena was stunned looking at her husband's admirable expression. He didn't know how long he was looking at it. It's just that the fantasy faded away when Davian turned to her. It is unexpected that the effect caused when Davian looked at him was now stronger. His heart tightened and his vision began to twitch. Mind empty. Even he did not realize now that the distance between himself and Davian was so close. The blurry thing became clear as soon as Davian's warm breath hit his cheek.
