He then put me down carefully into the bathtub.
"W-wait I can do it myself!"
"No, I'm afraid that you might faint while taking bath," he fills the bathtub with warm water. "At least, let me stay by your side,"
I know he had seen everything but this is so embarrassing! Be seen on the bed in the dark is better than here in the bright light! He can see clearly if I have any tiny scars or moles on my body! Argghhhhhhhhh
"Your face becomes red. Does the water too hot?"
It's because of you, stupid!

It's been 5 days. I walk down the stairs to the first floor. His house was so big compared to my parents' house. The modern design suits this house which located in the big city. I walked to the living room, no one here. Where's he?
Harmonious piano music playing through the room. It was my first time listening to piano music in real. Usually, I'll watch people playing with it on television and online. I wonder if who was the one who plays it here in this mansion.
I walk out of the living room to one of the house corners. It was a spacious area with pearl white tiles. Small stages at the centre contrast the black piano on it. He sits in front of it with his hand moving gracefully on the black and white tiles.
"That was amazing!" I excitedly clapping my hand "So you can play piano too?"
He smiles genuinely at me. He offered his hand as if he was calling me to come closer to him. As soon I did that he pulled me to sit on his lap.
"Want me to teach you?" He said while moving his arm under mine. "Put each of your fingers on each of mine,"
As he moves his fingers, mine was following each of his steps. It just like our fingers dance together on the black and white tiles with him leading my steps.
"Ummm can I ask something?"
"What is it?" He replied.
I took a breath before asking. I hope he didn't misunderstand my question. "You've been staying with me all days for 5 days straight. I've been wondered that... are you not working?"
He sighed. His arm moved down from under my arm to my waist. He hugged me. "Nope for now. I took leave for a week,"
"Why?"
"I want to spend my times with you," He bumped his head into my back while his arm hugged me tighter. "2 days left and as soon as that I'll go to a very far place for a very long time to work,"
"Will you miss me if I go?"

Yes, I will and I did. It's been a year since the day he leaves me.
"Introduce you, Miss Linda," he showed a woman in her 20's to me " she will take care and teaches you how to be a good wife during the times I went for work,"
What does he mean by that? Am I not a good wife to him? But not to mention Miss Linda is helpful to me for this past year. She taught me a lot of things including knowledge and some basic skills like sewing and cooking. I've been working with cow turds all this time that I don't know that there's a skincare routine that I need to follow.
Without I realised my vision suddenly turned black.
"Whose hands are these?" I asked.
"It's only been a year and you forget my hands already?" He moved his hand from my face.
Huh? Who the hell will remember the hands who only touch you for a week before left you for a year? I mean it is your hand, not your face. But if I say that I'm afraid that he might divorce me later so let's lie a bit.
"Of course I'm not," I put my hand on his cheek. "It's a joke,"
"So you know how to make a joke now? Does Linda taught you this too?" He looks to Miss Linda to standing near us. She giggled. "She has been a good student, Mr. Aiden,"
"I doubt that," His finger pitching the peak of my nose. "If she can teasing me now, she must be a naughty girl then,"
The sound of the luggage wheels, rolling on the floor mixed up with our laugh as we walked out of the airport.
"You can go back first, Linda. Thanks for taking care of her when I was gone," he thanked Miss Linda. She bends a bit of her body as she dismisses herself from us. As soon as the clicking sound of her high heels was gone, he pulled me down sitting on a bench.
"I'm so tired~" he landing his head on my shoulder. It is quite awkward because it's been a year I didn't get this treatment from him. It is embarrassing but since no one here then I should just let him...
...
"By the way," I awake myself from my dirty imagination "Why you asked me to pack some clothes? Were we not going straight back to our home?"
"Nope," he replied. "I've been wondered how father and mother have been doing these days..."
