The Hated Husband

Full Moon

Next Day

Maria squirms in her sleep after a bias of sunlight illuminates her face. She blinked and when she opened her eyes she saw her husband standing and opening the window curtain.

"You're awake? Good morning Maria." Jo smiled as he stepped closer to the bed, sitting himself on the edge of the bed.

"His fever has subsided." Jo muttered as she placed the back of her hand on Maria's forehead

"I'll call the waiter to prepare warm water for you."

As Jo was about to move, Maria quickly grabbed her arm.

"Don't go."

Jo was a little jolted by his wife's words just now, while Maria became misbehaved.

Ouch, lekkeplosan. How'this? What do I have to do for a reason?

"What's Maria?"

"Hm. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry I've been troubling you. You're skipping work because of me."

For a moment they looked at him, then a second later Jo smiled in a knot.

"Owh, what do I think. No problem, I'm your husband. So it's my responsibility to take care of you." Jo rubbed Maria's head before coming out of the room

***

Maria is neat with a bright yellow mini dress. I don't know why today he wanted to wear a striking color, as if it fit his mood.

"Mary, where are you going?" jo asked as he passed her by the stairs

"I want to go to the dining room, I feel bored in the room continue."

"Yes already, but your condition is light, right?"

"Yes, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"Then come on, I'll go with you."

Jo clasped Maria's shoulders and walked down the stairs to the dining room.

"Jo, when can I go to college again?" asked Maria as she ate her breakfast

"If your situation has really improved, I'll allow it."

"Yes. I'll be fat after my stomach grows."

"Even if you're fat, you're still beautiful."

There was no seductive tone in Jo, her gentle gaze, able to make Maria's heart flutter. In retrospect, this was the first time she received a compliment from her husband.

"You, there's just one" said Maria nervously

"I mean. In my eyes, you are Mary's most beautiful woman."

Deg

"Te thank you." Finally only that word escaped his lips

Maria was trying to stay calm, in the middle of her heart that was racing.

Please stop looking at me. I'm so ashamed.

Unexpectedly Maria, Jo slowly brought her face closer. His fingers touched his lips. Maria's reflexes immediately closed her eyes.

He's gonna kiss me.

"Why are you closing your eyes? There's leftover rice stuck in your mouth."

"Ughh! How humiliating! I'm ashamed! I could have closed my eyes! Where could he kiss me! Ughhhh!" Mary continued to mutter in her room, without realizing that her husband was peering at her outside the door.

Night Days..

"Hah.bored also silence like this. Usually at times like this I would sing in a cafe. But now, huh.."

Already several times Maria sighed long while propping her chin on the living room sofa.

The attention of Mary who initially kept looking towards the terrace turned to the sound that was caught in the shade. Her husband was playing the piano in the middle room.

Mary stood looking at her husband from a distance. He did not dare to approach. A smile was engraved on her face, for how long Mary had seen her husband there.

Jo, I wish I knew you were a man I really admired. I will definitely accept you from the beginning.

***

The time showed at 11pm, Maria was still wriggling to the right and to the left. Again he could not sleep despite trying to close his eyes many times. She sat up from her sleep, and was surprised to find her husband sleeping on the sofa.

"Jo, where?" Maria got out of bed, her netting several times catching the silhouette of her husband standing on the balcony. She also went out after her husband there.

"Jo?"

The one called turned to look at Maria who then stood beside her.

"What are you doing here? why not sleep?"

"I'm looking at the full moon."

Mary followed the eyes of her husband to the full moon.

"If I can't sleep, sometimes I spend time standing here. While looking at the view. Look at the moon and the stars. As if they were my friends when I was alone."

"Do you feel lonely?" mary looked at Jo

"Yes, sometimes." Jo replied with a bow and then smiled back at Maria

"Mary, would you like to hear me play the violin?"

The question made Maria look happy.

"Yes, I want to."

"Just a moment." Jo walks into the room and into the music room to pick up her violin

After that he went back to the balcony and stood beside his wife.

"I'm going to play a special song tonight. I'll give you my best."

Jo starts to swipe his violin and plays touching notes, his voice playing to break the silence of the night. Maria was enthusiastic and amazed to see her husband's violin in front of her eyes. All this time he had only been watching from a distance without seeing the face of who was playing the instrument. Finally after Jo finished his game, he looked back at his smiling wife looking at him.

"What do you think Maria?"

"You're so great, the tone is so beautiful. I really like it."

"Don't you want to know what the title of my song was?"

"What's the title?"

"My title song is Sweet Night. O my secret admirer."
