Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 29: Actions speak louder.

Sky's POV

I sigh as I close my phone and throw it away somewhere in frastruation. It's being 3 days since Eco went to his parents house. I know I was the one who took the initiative to drop him off and that was because I was scared he would go on in own and end up in some trouble. I've been waiting for him to call or message me but not even once he did. And when I do, he don't answer the calls or reply to my messages. This is the longest we went without talking to each other after getting married. Eco is always talktive, even when I wasn't in mood or would just listen to him without actually talking, he never minded it. He's also strong minded person and would never give a single thought on people's nuisance. But it all got ruined because of me. Just because I didn't even think of believing him and actually questioned him when Eve told me.

I feel ashamed of myself, for not trusting Eco. Since our marriage, he has been trying everything to make things go smoothly and create a bond between us because he likes me. Though he's stubborn and does what he wants, he never made me feel bad. He would actually respect my opinions and move accordingly. It's a little hard to believe, knowing his personality but he actually thinks about others as well. In our relation, he was being the considerate one while I just did everything according to my own interest.

Though I didn't voice it out to anyone, I miss him. Staying together since our marriage, he now became a part of my life. His silly jokes, nonstop talking, occasional swearing, bragging about his image in social media, his high pitched laugh and little giggles, childish attitude but matured thinking, I miss everything. I miss Eco. I miss my husband. After his leaving, everything became so silent and it made me wonder was this how I have been living all my life? I just want to go and bring him home to us but I'm not sure if he'll agree to come with me. He's so upset and angry at me, no doubt and I don't know what to do to make him realise I'm regretting what had happened.

"Sky, baby?" Mom's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I look at from where the voice came to find him standing at the door, "can I come in?"

"Yes, of course, you don't need to ask for permission, mama." I tell him to come him while standing up and walking to him.

"Of course, I need to ask for permission because now you're not only my son but someone's husband as well. You have your personal life and everyone, including your parents and future children need permission before stepping into your room." He reasons out and I hold his hand.

I try to bring him towards the bed but he pulls me to the couch instead. Confused but still I sit next to him.

"But Eco isn't here though." I shake my head.

"Whether he's here or not, doesn't matter. It's the relationship status that matters. And also it shows our decency." He chuckles after saying the last part.

I don't know what to say so I just keep quite, I'm normally this way so it's understandable.

"I don't want to ask how are you because I can see and feel you're feeling terrible." His words surprise me and I look straight at him, "you're missing Eco, aren't you?"

"Am I that obvious?" I call out.

He smiles and places his other hand on mine, his other hand held in mine, "if you don't mind me asking, can you tell me what actually happened at the party and what went wrong between the both of you?"

At his question, I get stunned. How did my mom find out something actually happened at the party?

"Sky, see this." He grabs the remote from the table and turns on the TV.

He switches to news channel and there I can see the media posting the video that the people took at the party, to whom Eco gave permission to make them go viral. And they did it and it went viral. Except that, media cropped the unwanted clips and put those only which benefit them.

"I know something had happened between you both even before watching the news because Eco was off after returning from the party and this just confirmed my doubt. Though I agreed and acted as I believed him when he said he missed his parents, I knew there's more to it. And now this video happened. Tell me what happened, Sky." He says and asks me.

"Mama, you know my business partner Eve, right?" He nods so I continue, "at the party, she approached the waiter and gave him money to mix drugs in the drink and give it to Eco. Eco witnessed it and took a video. When the waiter came with drinks, Eco disagreed to take the drink and asked Eve to drink. She was being reluctant and when he forced, she revealed it has drug in it. She then put the blame on Eco and I just believed her. I didn't even think once and asked him why he did that. He then showed us the video and let Eve's true colours out. She revealed she did that because she likes me and that she wants to get rid of Eco. Her plan was to drug him and hook him up with someone."

"Eco felt sad and angry. More than on Eve, he's angry at me because I didn't trust him. That I didn't believe him. Eve did many things that angered him but what I did made him hurt. He's hurt and in pain because of me. He feels I don't like him and I'm not trying anything to make it work between us. He told me he'll go to his parents house for a while and during that time we both can understand our feelings to each other." I explain everything to him and somehow it feels good.

"And do you like him?" It's the only thing mom asks me.

"What?" I call out confused.

"You said Eco thinks you don't like him, so I'm asking do you like him? Or you're just bearing with him because of me?" He questions me.

"I like him, mama." I reply right away.

Since the time Eco left, unconsciously I keep thinking about him and the time we spent together. So little time but so many memories and most importantly my mind automatically relates everything to him. I thought and thought only to realise I started liking him which I didn't realise all this while. Now that he's not here, it made me realise our relationship is not just the writings on the certificates but something that goes deep within our hearts.

"Honestly, I really married him just for you, mama. At the beginning, I was trying to bear with him and the arrangements but soon, even without me realising he became close to me. This time without him made me realise I really came to like him, not for anyone or any reason but by myself, with my whole heart and for myself. I like him, mama, I really do." I explain mom.

"Then tell him that, Sky. I'm sure he'll be the most happiest when he knows you like him. He looks at you with so much love in his eyes. He loves you and to know the person you love have the same feelings to you in return is the best feeling ever. Just tell him. You know, having feelings for someone isn't anything great but having the courage and the confidence within you to voice out those feelings is great." He suggests me.

"But mama, he's angry at me now. I first want to clear this situation between us before letting out my feelings." I sigh in annoyance.

"Apologise to him, Sky. It's not hard." He says with a shake of head like I didn't even know that.

"I did, mama. I did apologise to him but he didn't forgive me. I think he's so hurt and angry at me that he told me he don't want to see me, touch me and that he hates me." His face when he said those words to me, it's still hunting me.

"He didn't mean that, Sky. He was just hurt, don't misunderstand him." Mom states, "when words doesn't reach the extents we want them to be, we should do it in actions. Show him that you're really sorry for what has happened through your actions and then confess your feelings. You know right, actions speak louder than words."

Apologise through actions?

Mom's words confused me for a moment but then when I remembered what should I do, a smile appears immediately.

"Well, looks like the actions are already in your mind. Good luck, Sky." Mom smiles at me.

"Thank you, mama. You're the solution to my every problem." I hug him while he chuckles at my words but it's true though.

Now, let me approach my husband, opps wife, with the actions from which he can't escape.
