Emotions destroy everything and it makes our days like strangers. The beautiful day is now covered by a thick fog that for some time will disappear from our family.

Aslan Pov
I don't know what's been going on with me lately I've been irritable and offended. Ever since that night where I had a fight with Cevdav we acted like we were strangers. We're one room but there's no talk she's been avoiding me for days.
" Aslan you and Cevdav got into a fight, kid?" I sighed as my mother asked while we were both in the kitchen.
" What does Mom look like? Sorry if you're worried about us. But in a normal household it is not when a couple quarrels with each other!"
" What you're saying is true, every household is bound to have a storm if we react to it. But if you're quiet and like strangers now, then that's not good for you two, either. Here Cevdav only has us but you ignore him he will feel sad not good to make your wife sad like that."
I was silent listening to Mom say, I realized what Mom said was right. Cevdav was here for me but I kept him quiet until now. I just remembered that it's been three days that we've been quiet. I looked up when I finished talking to Mom.
Now I realize that I was wrong, my words were too harsh and that it might offend my wife. I rubbed my face harshly staring at the bright night weather strewn with stars.
" Dear I want us-"
" There's nothing we need to talk about Aslan! I'm tired I want a break.." He avoids me.
I realized he was so hurt because I was so outrageous back then. I realized I shouldn't have snapped or raised my voice, I was wrong.
" A little while I want us to talk straighten out our problems.." I persuaded him to sit down to straighten out this misunderstanding.
I saw him breathing out but he didn't refuse either. " Say what's wrong?"
" I want to apologize! I realize I was wrong I hurt you by yelling at you and saying nothing about your family. I'm really sorry.." I looked at him with him who didn't want to look at me.
Maybe his heart is still hurting and it makes me so sick to see a wife who doesn't want to see me at all. But I realized he was angry like this because it was me who started this mistake from the beginning.
" From yesterday even these three days you just kept quiet and never thought I existed, now why did you change your mind to talk and apologize? Do you realize you're wrong now?"
" Mom advised me and what you said was true I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you.." He didn't answer my question but I saw him smiling cynically.
" So Mom talked to you and then you admitted your mistake?" He smiled wryly. " If your mother doesn't advise you then you won't reflect on your mistakes?"
" I just wanted to help you but unfortunately you said nothing about my family and you said nothing. I hope you realize your own mistakes are not made aware of by your mother.." I can't say anything else. He was disappointed and I was well aware he was so disappointed in me.
" I'm sorry, honey." I kissed the back of his hand.
" I'll forgive you but you have to accept my offer, use my money first to continue our shop.." Again what was discussed made me sigh. " You don't want any more?"
" Dear not that I don't want to accept your help! I'm glad you wanted to help me but I don't deserve that money. The capital I'm proposing may be big-"
" I have enough money for you to start opening that tavern like Aslan's start again. I-"
" I know you must have as much money as you said just now but I'm sorry I can't take it I don't want your family to assume I'm using you." I turned it down because I really don't want to accept her help.
My father-in-law's insults used to still sound clear if I accepted what I would receive again for the insults. My pride will be shattered when he finds out that I received money from my wife to build my business that is currently close.
" Aslan no one thought of it that way. Even Papa once offered you to open the cake restaurant you wanted so they'd be happy if they found out that you accepted the offer or I gave you the capital…" He convinced me once again.
" No! Once I say no, no. I don't need anyone's help to build my nearly bankrupt shop. I'll try to be the one to support everything myself." I stood up to me, why he didn't want to understand what I said.
" You don't have to bother looking for her, honey, let me support her. If you don't want me to give you free then make that money a loan you have to give back after everything is successful."
" No! In any form I don't want to accept it. I don't want to involve your money or your family's money in my business. I want them to know that I can also stand on my feet so that they can boast of me like he's proud of Kemal in front of his peers."
" Kemalist.. Kemal.. Kemal.." He stood by repeating the name. " Why do you feel rivaled by Kemal now? He never felt even the slightest bit rivaled when I chose you."
I smiled bitterly as she had to repeatedly defend her. His ex-fiancee's men are liked by his family while I'm a man hated by them. It may be true that I married his daughter but their blessing was only forced.
" Because your family never thought I existed! Even what he always considered his son-in-law was Kemal not me. He blesses us for being forced because Kemal asked them to grant us marriage."
" Aslan I don't think about what you just said."
" Open your eyes and see what happens. They never thought I existed, they never thought I was his son-in-law. All they adore is Kemal, Kemal and Kemal you don't realize. I'm just a stranger who suddenly snatched his daughter back then."
" You…"
" Or maybe the one who makes my shop quiet is one of them? They're the ones who made those people stop by my place."
" Enough Aslan!" I was silent when he yelled at me. " This time you've gone too far." Cevdav went out of the room and I just looked at him with regret having said just now.
