" Yuna.we're even."
That sentence made me stupefied. This shitty creature has managed to shock me. How not, the atmosphere that was romantic turned into a great annoyance. He kissed me just because I kissed him. Just a break-even word. And it makes me angry.
" Wait a minute, why should I be upset and angry. What I expected."
I hit my head slowly because of my stupidity.
" Yuna.you're really stupid!"
" You just realized," continued Gafi who entered the room. " Why haven't you slept?'
" I'm not sleepy yet" I replied. " Where have you been?"
" So Papa called me and wanted to talk."
" Oh so."
" Why do you seem to want to know wherever I go?"
" A-pa?" I'm amazed. " I'm just asking, if you don't want to answer, it's okay. Why make people confused."
Again Gafi smirked. His smile really held a million meanings.
" After the honeymoon, I'll take you to our house. The house isn't very big, so if you want another house. We can find him."
I shook my head quickly.
" It's not necessary. That's enough."
" Why don't you think before you answer. I don't mind if you want anything."
" No, I said no, right."
Gafi sighed.
" Are you mad at me?"
" Why should I be mad at you?"
" Because you look like that. If you're not angry, your tone isn't high like this."
" I'm not angry!"
" Not angry, but like that."
" Because you piss me off."
" Why am I upsetting you?"
" Don't keep wondering. That pisses me off."
" Ha??" Gafi scrunched his forehead. " Are you angry about what happened?"
" ha? what happened?"
" We weren't kissing."
I widened my eyes. Shocked by his words.
" We kissed, Yuna!"
Soon I shut her mouth. " You're out of your mind. Do you have to say it in such a strong voice? Do you want everyone to know!"
" Tchh.that's why people should know. Are you ashamed? Why can't you think shamefully now, but when you kiss me in front of a crowd, you just relax, enjoy it."
" You..." I'm out of words. He could have told me about that incident again. " Not to be discussed anymore!" i'm upset. " It's breakeven anyway, right? isn't that what you said after you kissed me."
" Really?"
" Well..." I was getting upset about that behavior.
" Are you angry about that?"
" I'm not angry!"
Suddenly a giggling voice came out from Gafi's lips. He laughed with satisfaction. I was stunned to see him laugh like that.
" You're so funny, Yuna. Every time I see your expression like that, I can't bear to not tease you."
" ha? so you think this is funny, ha!" I hit him with a pillow not far from me. " It looks like you're so happy!"
Gafi still continues to laugh, while I'm upset not playing with his attitude.
" The bad guy!"
Bruck...
Gafi pulled my body until it fell into his body.
" You're hurting me" I said. " Now let go of me! Our current position is not very good."
" What's the matter?"
" Gafi, don't joke. We're not a couple in general."
" We are still legitimate husbands. So I'm entitled, right?"
" ha? don't joke."
I who want to escape from his embrace can not even move because of his very tight embrace. Gafi did not even flinch.
" Gaphi!"
" Hussh. " Now go to sleep, Yuna..."
I took a heavy breath. This attitude of hers really made me unable to pucker up. I don't know what she thought she had to treat me like this.
Never mind, I'm just sleeping. If he is sound, I can release myself from his arms, I thought.
And I finally fell asleep.
...****...
I woke up from my sleep as usual. That nightmare somehow came back into my sleep. Gafi who was beside me was still fast asleep. I slowly got out of bed and went to the balcony to breathe air.
Late and quiet nights decorate the night sky. I clenched my body because of the cold night wind.
I'm holding my phone. As usual I wanted to hear Aydin's voice when I woke up from my sleep. Ever since I got married, I've never once asked her how she was. But, if I call him now, Aydin must be worried right away. He was too sensitive to my condition and I went wrong for him.
I took a deep breath.
" I have to how..," I said.
" Why are you here?" Gafi's voice surprised me. I didn't notice his presence behind me. " It's cold outside, you'll be sick."
" Did I disturb your sleep?" I asked to go back without answering the question.
" Is it your habit that everyone asks you? always asking questions as answers?"
I smile.
" I'm sorry" I said. " It's also part of my habit. Sometimes I wake up from my sleep when the dream comes."
" Dreams?"
" Umm.beginning from trauma to carry over to dreams. I usually call Aydin when it's like this."
" Why didn't you call her?"
" Because I don't want Aydin to get any more worried. He's too sensitive to me."
" Aydin and Dad, they're both very protective of you."
" Huh?"
" Things I will never forget, they said to me at that time." Gafi's staring at me." If you're tired of her, don't hurt her, give Yuna back to her family. Father and Aydin sayings, always the same."
I smiled knot.
" Yuna.you're so lucky."
" Thank you for understanding my father and Aydin's request."
Gafi only smiled in response to my words.
" Get outside very cold."
I nodded.
" Gaphi..."
" Yes..."
" You've never taken me to Mama's. You only talked about him once. I accidentally saw a picture of you two. Mama's so beautiful and you look so happy in that picture" I said. " Gafi..Can we go there someday?"
Gafi was silent for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about my request.
" If you mind, it doesn't matter. Sorry if I'm so sassy."
" Why are you talking like that?" abugn. " I'll take you there one day. Mama would be happy if her daughter-in-law visited her there."
I nodded and smiled because I was glad that Gafi accepted my request.
" Go to sleep, if you have another nightmare, you can wake me up. Don't keep it to yourself. Now you have me."
I was stunned by Gafi's words. For the first time, I felt the warmth from him. Let me dissolve in this feeling now and then I will awaken myself, to wake up from this impossible hope.
