"Honey, you used to forbid me from entering the master bedroom. Now, you dragged me into the master bedroom and told me that your sudden change was unconditional? Do you believe in your own words?" Sean said before he wondered to himself, 'Did he do this because I punched Dion?'
Sean's eyes instantly darkened thinking that his wife was doing this for another man.
Sean wanted to pull back his arm, but Akila held on tightly.
"I changed for you and not for anyone else. We are a married couple, we cannot sleep in separate beds. Older generations say that when a married couple sleeps in separate beds, their relationship is not harmonious."
"The discord in our relationship has nothing to do with where we sleep" Sean said as his dark, deep eyes landed on his woman's chest, in the area where his heart should be.
The man pointed at Akila's chest with his slender finger and said each word carefully as the man said,
"It has something to do with who's in your heart."
As Sean pointed at his chest, Akila's heart started to hurt. 'Why didn't I realize earlier that he was the one who had really been in my heart all this time?' Thought Akila.
Sean grabs Akila's wrist and drives her to the door before she opens it and closes it from the outside.
There was a sound of brakk when the door was closed forcibly followed by the sound of the key playing.
Akila looked at the tightly shut door and remained in a daze for some time as tears streamed down her face without a sound.
Behind the door, Sean leaned against the door with his back. Her chest rose and fell violently as she worked hard to calm her heartbeat after she became emotional from Akila's words.
The man raised the corner of his lips mockingly, as he almost believed it.
Even in her dreams, she hoped that she was the reason behind her female smile and laughter. Even in her dreams, she hoped that she was the only person in her female dream.
Sean walked up to the table and took out his cigarette case and took out one cigarette and put it in his mouth before he picked up a match and lit it.
Almost every night, the man had nothing but secretly accompanied by his cigarette.
He laughed mockingly at himself again, but it was hidden in the darkness.
...
The next day, Sean opened the door of the study room with dark circles under his eyes and was shocked when he saw the person sitting on the floor near his feet.
Akila was wearing pajamas last night and sitting in a fetal-like position. His legs were bent and his arms hugged his knees to his chest. His head rested on his arm and his brows furrowed slightly as if he was trapped in a restless sleep.
Akila was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He raised his head and looked at Sean's upright physique, as the man stood tall and majestic like a mountain.
Akila stood up immediately. Since he had held out in the same position for a long time, his legs were numb.
"I'll go and take a shower." Akila rubbed her eyes somewhat awkwardly and started to walk into the study. Because his legs were numb, his steps were extremely slow.
Sean pursed his lips. He stepped towards his woman, bowed, and carried that thin and fragile body around her waist. Without a word, the man headed to the master bedroom.
Akila watched the man's side profile calmly. He had a tall nose, and his lips pursed. Akila realized she was momentarily dazed by the man's appearance.
Sean dropped it off as they entered the bathroom in the master bedroom before the man turned around and left.
Akila saw the tall body of the man disappear from the door. He believed that eventually there would come a day when the man believed him.
She will work hard and strive to improve the relationship with her husband.
...
Just like in his previous life, Sean took him to the beach after breakfast before they boarded a cruise to the island.
The early July weather came with a touch of warmth as the sea breeze hit them.
Akila watched as the island drew nearer until the entire outline could be clearly seen.
The island is beautifully decorated and is perfect for a holiday.
Perhaps Akila would have had a different experience during her stay there if she adjusted her feelings.
If the man really wanted him to stay there before his heart could be at ease, then he would obey and stay there for a while and consider it a holiday.
However, this holiday meant he had to delay his return to campus.
When they arrive on the island, Akila follows Sean off the cruise ship. He stepped onto the island once more and stared at the wooden house and greenery he was familiar with.
However, now, his emotional outlook was completely different. When Akila looked around the island again, she felt the island was beautiful.
No wonder Sean was willing to spend a lot of money to give it away on his birthday, and extra money for reorganization.
Akila followed Sean all the way to the log house.
Processed wood is the chosen material for building wooden houses because it is not easily susceptible to weather elements and is very strong. The structure and style of the house is simple but looks good.
The surroundings were filled with grass and flowers that created a sight that was pleasing to the eye.
"This place is beautiful, it's perfect for a vacation" Akila said as she tilted her head towards Sean.
His eyes curved upwards as he smiled.
"If we have time in the future, will we come here for another vacation?"
Sean's eyes were deep and dark. His voice was deep and low and was tinged with an intense feeling of possessiveness.
"What if I make you stay here forever?"
Akila reached out to grab Sean's arm, and the smile on her face did not change.
"Will you stay here too? Otherwise, wouldn't it be so boring for me to live here alone? You are very busy with your company. Surely you can't go back and forth every day? It'll be exhausting."
Sean was startled and his dark eyes shone with disbelief and doubt, but there was curiosity in them as well.
"Darling, do you really want to stay here with me? Even if it's a lifetime?"
Akila nodded firmly.
"Yes, I'm ready. Home is everywhere as long as it's with you."
Sean looked at the woman deeply as if he wanted to look inside her. But after a long time, he realized he was unable to confirm the truth of his words.
After a few seconds of silence, Sean led him to the entrance of the wooden house.
Since the construction of the new wooden house was completed recently, there were several maids in charge of cleaning the area, which was why the wooden floor inside the house was very clean.
Sean and Akila take off their shoes and open the sliding door before they enter the house.
The house was very large, like a courtyard. There was a stone bridge in the middle as well as a rock garden. Although the flowers and grass were fake, they looked very realistic.
Especially for the peach tree in the middle of the stone bridge. From far away, it looks like life.
It was a paradise isolated from the real world.
From the exterior to the interior of the house, every detail reveals the amount of effort and thought Sean put into the project.
Akila raised her head and looked at Sean, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Is this place your gift to me? I like it" Akila said.
Sean lowered his eyes and looked at the smile of the woman. It was as beautiful as a flower and she encountered some difficulty in distinguishing between reality and imagination, but she was sure that the woman was smiling at her.
"Yes." Yeah."
Sean grabbed his hand and took it deeper into the house and Akila followed his steps obediently.
Sean did not stop until he reached the sliding door. He extended his long hand and opened the door with his big hand. There was a sound as the sliding door opened, and the man led her into the room.
When they entered the room, Akila saw the furniture inside. There was a large wooden statue standing in the room.
The wooden statue was carved exactly according to the portrait of Akila. Every pout and smile felt alive. A minimum 95 percent similarity rate.
Even the hair and embroidery on the wooden statue's clothes were beautifully carved.
As Sean carved this wooden statue, he had poured all his love and affection into it. That was the only reason he could carve something with such a high degree of resemblance.
Even a professional artist might not be able to carve such a perfect sculpture.
When Akila walked up to the statue, she realized that it was the same height as her.
