I didn't know how long I have been sleeping but I was woken up by light touches on my face. I stirred a bit, scrunching my nose before slowly opening my eyes to find Ae staring at me fondly. "Why didn't you sleep upstairs?" He inquired. "Ummm... I just felt asleep without realising. I didn't think I'll be sleeping this long." I replied while moving to sit up. As I sat on the sofa, I noticed that he was kneeling in front of me and now he moved to hold my face in his warm palms. "Were you sulking?" He asked in a gentle tone. I was a bit confused with his question since I wasn't aware about what made him think so. "Why khrab?" I asked innocently. "You were pouting in sleep... Looking upset over something. Usually, you don't sleep like that. Your face is always calm and peaceful." He explained.

WHAT?? Have he been watching me sleep all the time? How long has he been noticing all the small small details about me? "I was just little annoyed before falling asleep." I confessed. "And what got you annoyed?" he asked. "Ummm... That... Someone tried to judge our married life so I was a bit irritated." I explained. "What did he say that got you so pissed off? You sounded upset while speaking on the call too." He said.

"He was trying to manipulate my thoughts about our marriage by saying that it was too early and I would have met someone better. But I don't want to meet any other person!! I am already married and I am happy with my life. It can't be more perfect than it already is!! Why does he have to talk about our life?? He doesn't know how things turned out on our wedding and what has happened. If I am happy with our marriage why does he have to say that it was too early??" I began to complain like a kid who had returned home to tell his mother that some bully stole his candy in school.

"Baby... You don't have to pay attention to what people say. Must be he is jealous with the fact that you are happy with your married life. What matters in this marriage is whether you are happy or not. Other's opinions are not at all necessary. But I am glad that you are pissed off because of the questions. It assures me that you are happy with the marriage and won't run away." He said. "AE!!!" I complained while pouting some more. He let out a laugh while ruffling my hairs. "Stop complaining... You look too cute like this... Get fresh, I'll prepare tea for us." He said while cupping my cheeks and pecking my lips before moving to get up.

I got up while still sulking and headed to get fresh while Ae moved towards the kitchen. When I splashed my face with water and dried up, I felt much better. I descended the steps and then my eyes felt on the bag and suit placed on the sofa. Oh my god!!! How stupid of me!! Ae had just returned from work and I made him prepare the tea when it should have been me doing so.

I hurried towards the kitchen only to find Ae already pouring the tea into cups. Now I begin to feel guilty for what I have done since he had been very patient and listening to me and pacifying me. Then he felt my presence at the door and his head snapped in my direction and he gave me a warm bright smile. I smiled back at him while stepping into the kitchen and offering to help. But he politely declined saying that he was almost done.

He placed the two cups into the tray and began to walk out of the kitchen heading towards the living room with me trailing behind. He placed the tray on the tea table and gestured me to sit down which I did obediently by placing my butt on the sofa. He handed me a cup and then moved to get comfortable beside me and picked up the other cup of tea and began to sip it. "I am sorry khrab... I should have prepared the tea. You came from work and I made you do the work at home too." I apologized. "Pete, I am used to doing things on my own. And why are you apologizing?? You too are working and you prepared the breakfast and lunch for both of us. What is the big deal if I prepare tea for us? You should stop thinking in this manner. Because it will become toxic since you would want to do all the work while I just sit and eat. This is not how I want our relation to be. You are my husband and you deserve equal love and respect. So henceforth, don't differentiate in work." He explained.
