Orm

I am waiting for Ling to come back home as I sit in the dining room with a ton of food on the table, I intend to make her eat with me because I want to see her face when she realizes that I can cook and be her wife. I smile at the stupid clingy thought

I yawn a few times before looking at the clock in shock when I see it's already ten o'clock and my wife hasn't come back home yet. I have actually tried to call her a few times already but she didn't pick up and the call always went to voicemail

Suddenly the door is open as I rush to the entrance to see Ling with an exhausted face. Her hair is messy and her blouse with a few buttons opens up at the top. "Ling what's wrong?"

She sighs heavily seeing my face as if I were just her maid or even worse than that since she doesn't even want to acknowledge me at all. "I am tired, I need to take a shower now and go to sleep"

"But you haven't eaten yet right? Have you eaten my lunch that I-"

"I have already eaten dinner you don't need to wait or even make lunch for me anymore because I don't need it. I can eat by myself" She utters before pacing to the bedroom as I grab her hand making Ling glares at my hand annoyingly

I release her hand slowly before answering "Eat with me please, I haven't eaten anything yet. I was waiting for you"

"If I eat with you now will you stop waiting for me? Stop making lunch or anything I don't ask for" She goes inside our bedroom as tears fall down my face, I was wrong I'm wrong. LingLing Sirilak Kwong will never like me it is my mistake to think that she is in love or even like me a little bit

I wipe my tears furiously at the stupid me who is good at school but so stupid at that simple thing that I should have known since the very beginning

Heading to the table I sit on the chair staring at the table with the foods I made smiling bitterly.

Pathetic.

Pathetic Orm.

Better name!

I laugh before going to the couch without eating anything, I grab my oversized shirt on the chair covering my body from coldness I don't want to go inside to see the scowl on P'Ling's face. She hates me and I hate that she shows it to me. Biting my lips to stop thinking I try to close my eyes forcing myself to sleep

"Don't leave! Please dad, Please please!"

"Orm.. Orm.."

"Don't!"

"Orm!" Ling shouts at the top of her lungs as I sit bolt upright flinging myself in Ling's arms. I feel her tense but I embrace her tighter feeling her warmth her flesh makes me calm down Usually Phi Por is the one I run to whenever I have that nightmare

When I feel she doesn't say anything I pull away looking at my hands mumbling embarrassed at my action "S-sorry, I don't mean to act like that"

"Why don't you go to sleep in our bedroom?"

"I want to sleep here it's okay Ling no worries." I am about to sleep again when she stops me by grabbing my hands"Go to sleep in the room it's cold here''

''You are tired go to sleep now you need to work tomorrow, Ling"

Suddenly, my stomach growls loudly as Ling stares at me in confusion"What's it?''

"You didn't eat?" She asks frowning at me

"I wasn't hungry''

"Let's eat"

"It's two o'clock now" I say looking at the clock hanged on the wall

"Come on" She says with determination as I have no choice but to follow her

"You made all of these?" She asks curving her brow up as I nod slightly

"Sit" She takes a chair for me like a gentlewoman she is before I occupy feeling tears on my cheeks as I wipe it again. I don't even get over the nightmare and I really have no appetite to do anything it has been a long time but it feels like yesterday.

"Eat" Ling places a plate in front of me and another one in front of her

"You don't need to eat because of me you know" I say still not looking at her

"I am hungry too that's why I came here since the first place" She says

I look at her eyes without uttering another word. In fact I know that she came to me because I was shouting and trembling like a little puppy not because she is hungry though

"I am sorry" I gaze back at the plate.

"You didn't do anything wrong, why always said sorry huh?"

When I don't react she sighs loudly before continuing "Look at me if someone is wrong here I am the one. I am sorry that I couldn't eat with you when you did this for me" I turn back to her seeing her pointing at the table

"I am an ungrateful wife aren't I?" She smiles making me smile as well

"You are not"

"Let's eat! I am hungry. Look at these mouthwatering foods" She says before devouring the food as if she hasn't eaten anything for a year

I grin as she scowls at me again when she notices my looks as bite my bottom lip and start to eat like nothing happens

After a while we finish "Go to sleep in the bedroom I will sleep here. We have a few more hours to sleep"

"Can you sleep with me? I am a little bit scared"

She doesn't say anything so I agree "Okay I'll go sleep alone"

When I am about to walk away she replies "Okay, I'll sleep with you since I don't want to be cold to die here" She says hurrying to the bedroom as I bite my lips preventing myself from smiling any wider. I slip under the thick blanket beside her feeling my favourite warmth
