Zayyad slowly opened his eyes. Her biological clock made her wake up early as usual. The faint fragrance of roses pierced his olfactory. Frowns his forehead, with consciousness that has not fully recovered. I wonder where that smell came from?
Lifting his body, only then did he realize that there was a heavy burden that overcame his body. His pair of eyebrows intertwined, he glanced down. Found Alina lying half her body on it. Suddenly he was shocked and got rid of Alina's body immediately.
Alina felt so dizzy, her head suddenly fell just like hitting the bed. Half conscious, his hands fumbled trying to find a pillow to support his head again. He had no idea that his pillow was full night was Zayyad's body.
Not finding her, Alina fell asleep again without a pillow.
Zayyad who saw Alina was asleep again. His breathing cavity, which was bound for a while, held his breath, slowly slipped away. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief and rushed down from the bed.
Recalling the incident last night, made his body tremble. Alina was almost like a monster last night. Scared him to death.
In the bathroom, Zayyad filled the water. While waiting in full, he noticed his face in the mirror. Found her swollen lips with patches of dried blood.
'That woman was so vicious last night!' His mind and breathing heavily.
Turning on the tap, he washed the bloodstains on his lips. Raising his face again, he noticed the blue bruises around his neck and collarbone. He knew Alina didn't touch the place last night.
Because the bruise did not increase at all.
Zayyad was soaking in the water. The steam obscured his body and face. The smell of lavender in the bathroom. Wrinkling his forehead, Zayyad held back his head pain that felt heavy. His body somehow felt limp and uneasy.
Lying his head on the edge of the bathtub, last night's incident continues to haunt him. He gasped, his breathing was stingy and he continued to feel agitated.
This fear has not felt again for a long time. Anxiety is around monsters and worrying whenever it appears.
Pressing his hand on his chest, his breathing was still unstable. His straight long eyelashes trembled, his brain chaotic at the thought of a monster that was very close to him.
Zayyad though was afraid of women, but he never imagined they were the monsters that killed him. Except people in his past and present...
It was Alina, his own wife.
Finish the shower Zayyad rushed dressed. It's still dark outside. At such times, he usually still ran early in the morning outside the villa. Then back at dawn a new dawn appeared on the eastern horizon. Clean yourself up for a while and prepare breakfast.
Then he took a shower and got ready for the company.
But at the moment he is not doing it. On a blind morning, Zayyad turned on his car engine preparing to go to the company.
Hearing the sound of a car, the security guard who was still sleeping in the post woke up. Looking out the window, his still sleepy eyes were shocked. Seeing his master had already started the car engine and was about to leave.
"Mr Zayyad?" Greet her while yawning.
"Sorry to disturb your sleep" Lowering the car window, Zayyad gave a warm smile to the security guard.
"Ah, not at all sir!" Hadi scratched his non-itchy nape smiling awkwardly. Seeing his master's warm smile, his sleepiness just disappeared. "But sir, it's still very early to go to the company"
"Just open the gate" Tukas Zayyad smiled faintly.
"Good sir!" Before Hadi stepped away, he accidentally saw blue bruises around Zayyad's neck and collarbone. Just once looking, it was obvious to instantly understand what a bruise was.
Zayyad who saw Hadi who was fluttering on the spot, wrinkled his forehead he asked. "What's wrong?"
I was surprised and confused what to say. But if he did not say it, how would his master meet with the employees with such looks.
"That-sorry sir if I'm presumptuous-" he said hesitantly.
"Tell me!" Zayyad looked curiously at Hadi. What does he want to say so seriously?
"That's your neck sir.." Zayyad. "That's very conspicuous sir, it's good if you close.." Looking at the silent Zayyad without any expression. Hadi started to get nervous. Has he gone so far? It was his master's privacy, he shouldn't have interfered with it.
"Sorry sir, I've been sassy for saying such a thing.."
"Thank you for reminding me"
Zayyad's eyes dimmed. If Hadi doesn't say it, don't know how he has to deal with the employees at the company with his looks like that.
"Open the gate!"
"Good sir!"

Alina as usual woke up late and was very lazy to separate from the mattress. Opening his eyes slowly, he did not feel the sunlight coming into the room.
Usually Zayyad had already opened the window curtain letting the golden light in. Is it possible that this is still very early?
Alina lazily got up and leaned on the head of the bed. Opening his mouth wide, he yawned. His eyelids are still very heavy to open.
His hand lazily searched his phone under the pillow. Opening the screen, he glanced at her with eyes that were still sleepy. Instantly he was surprised. Ten o'clock in the morning?
Soon her sleepiness disappeared and her eyes opened wide. Usually at the latest he wakes up at half-nine.
He got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to clean up. Wash your face and brush your teeth. He went downstairs to bring breakfast to his grandmother's room.
In the dining room he was shocked by an empty table with no food on it. There is usually always a bowl of warm porridge for her grandmother and her favorite cheese toast.
But this morning why not?
Wrinkling her forehead, Alina felt that there was some weirdness going on. Usually when he is lazy to wake up in the morning, there must be sunlight that disturbs his sleep. Because it was Zayyad who opened the window curtain.
But this morning when he woke up, his room was still dark without any interference from outside.
Breakfast is usually served on the table. Even up to a glass of warm vanilla milk that has been poured into the glass.
But this morning none of that was. This big table is empty and clean. Did those chefs not come to the villa today to prepare breakfast?
But Alina felt another oddity. It's just that he doesn't understand what it is.
In the end Alina stepped into the kitchen preparing the porridge for her grandmother. It's ten in the morning but her grandmother hasn't had breakfast. What kind of granddaughter is she?
He then took it to his grandmother's room.
"Grandma's sorry I'm late for breakfast" Alina sat on the edge of the bed and handed the bowl of porridge to her grandmother. "Why is it so late? What were you guys doing last night?" Erina seduces her grandson.
He was awake and not strong enough to go to the kitchen. Usually at eight in the morning, Alina had brought her breakfast to the room. But today her grandson took her very late. The sun is almost upright outside.
Erina really hoped that something had happened to them last night. Alina woke up so late.
"What does grandma mean!" Alina said a little nervous. If his grandmother knew what he did to Zayyad last night, what would happen?
"Why so nervous?" Erina developed a smile on her old face. "Have you done that, Hem?"
Alina was shocked to hear her grandmother's question. "What grandma thinks"
"So you guys haven't done it yet?" Erina asked disappointed.
Alina shook her head. In his heart he was sad to see the unhappiness on his grandmother's face.
"Well, it turns out that grandma was too hopeful" Erina lowered her head with a face wrapped in sadness. "Grandmother is old, the disease that grandmother experienced whether it can be cured or not, grandmother does not know for sure. But every morning I wake up, Grandma always hopes..." His old eyes began to glaze straight at Alina.
"To still have a chance to see tomorrow while holding on to a grandchild" Pulling both corners of her slack lips, Erina smiled wryly.
Alina was stunned not knowing what to say. If he gets married, even if he hates it, he may do it. But if you have children, it's hard.
Zayyad is a gynophobic.
"But what if grandma doesn't have that chance?"
