chapter 14: Call me baby

Eco's POV

My head hurts as if hundreds of trucks are passing above it. The pain is so much that I can't even sleep and it wakes me up. But when I try to open my eyes, my head starts spinning and I feel like vomiting. Not just feel but I'm really gonna vomit any second soon, so I get up from the bed and jump down as I run towards the bathroom and puke my guts. Thankfully it happened when I already reached the bathroom so I didn't dirt the bed or the room. Heaving until my insides come out, I slump down on the floor and flash the water to rinse the mess I made.

"Hey, are you okay?" I feel a concerned voice asking and a hand gently soothing my back.

I slowly and forcefully open my eyes and see Sky sitting next to me on his feet with a worried expression on his face.

"I'm fine, except that I feel like I'm dying." I mumble with no energy.

"Don't talk rubbish!" He scolds, stupid, "I'll fill the tub for you, take a warm bathe so that your body relaxes. By then I'll order food, dress up and eat. You haven't eaten anything for a day and decided it's good to drink."

Drink? Did I drink? I kinda forgot what happened after I left the room.

Sky fills the tub with warm water and leaves the bathroom. I get up slowly and take out my clothes one after the other. They all smell like alcohol which makes my head spin more just by smelling them. I throw the clothes in the basket and carefully step in the tub before fully settling myself. I let out a relief sigh, it feels so good to stay in warm water. My skin and bones are getting the much needed relaxation. I just stay still and let my body relax for a long while. When the water starts getting cold, I drain them and then take a quick bathe. I dry myself with the towel and put it around myself before leaving the bathroom.

Stepping in the room, true to his words I see Sky setting up the table for two of us. Maybe hearing the door sound, he glances at me for a second and goes back to arranging the food. I don't think much about it and walk to my luggage. I take out my pajams shots and put them on as I get dressed. Once done, I head to the table where the food is set and take a seat.

There's this small table in this room, I mean it's big enough to fit our food. Along with it, there are two chairs, facing each other and a small flower vase in the middle of the table with three roses and a lamp lung on the top to give light if people were to sit here. As it's night, Sky turned on the light making it shine from above. All this set up feels like a candle light dinner except that it really isn't. I even doubt this guy at least know about candle light dinner and even if he knew, he wouldn't do such thing for me. I bet my life on it.

"Sit down, the food is getting cold." His voice stops my thoughts and makes me look at him.

Nodding, I sit on the chair opposite to him and look at the food he ordered. There's a bowl of soup in front of me. He just order soup for me?

"First have some soup because it'll help you heal from your hangover. Later, just eat anything you want. I ordered what I felt good from the menu." He says as if reading my mind.

"Okay, thank you." I thank him and start eating my food, he too does the same.

During the dinner, we don't talk anything and eat in silence. As if we even properly talked anything until now. All we does is argue and fight with each other. When the dinner gets over, he cleans everything and trashes the waste in the trash bin. I don't help him because I don't really know how to do it and also because I'm not really in the condition. My body is already indicating me to lie down and sleep. I head to the bed and does the same.

"Eco, are you sleeping?" A while later, I hear Sky's voice.

"I'm not sleeping yet. I just laid down." I reply while opening my eyes.

"Um...I want to talk to you." He states and sits on the bed on his side.

"Is it about the trouble I created by going to the pub and drinking? If yes, then I'm sorry I won't repeat it." I apologise before he could give me a lecture or call out about my behaviour again.

While laying down, I thought back and remembered what occurred in the evening. I angrily left the room because he didn't wait to eat lunch with me and went to a pub. I got drunk and a guy approached me. He was trying to talk to me but I don't remember much about it and the last thing I remember is Sky coming there. So, I know I caused trouble to him again and he'll talk about it.

"I'm sorry!" He states at once which makes me sit up immediately and stare at him in shock.

Sky is actually apologising to me?

But why?

"Actually, I reflected on my behaviour with you after our marriage and I realised I was being an idiot. Saying mean things to you and even stating that I regret this marriage is gone too far. And I apologise for that. I don't really mean that, you know. Also I'm sorry for comparing you with my mom and expecting you to be same like him. It's just that I always wanted a person like that in my life and when you weren't like what I expected to be I lost my senses. I forgot not two people are alike. It must have hurt you. I'll try to be good to you from now on and try to understand you, get you know you better. I'm really sorry for my behaviour and I promise I won't repeat it." Sky explains and I just watch him in surprise.

He really apologised to me? Sky really apologised? What is this? Am I still alive? Is this some dream?

"Eco?" He calls my name when I don't respond anything to him.

"You really mean everything you said?" I question him for confirmation.

"I really mean." He assures.

"That means you're not going to say I'm an egoistic person with attitude and that my behaviour sucks?" I query him.

"I'm not going to say such things to you again." He nods with seriousness.

"You won't compare me with your mom?" I ask.

"I won't, not just my mom but I won't compare you with anyone." He nods yet again.

"No more sound system?" This made me so angry, why the hell he called me sound system?

"No, it was so wrong and childish of me to call you that." He answers.

"And no more saying you regret our marriage?" This hurt me the most.

"No! I swear I won't repeat that again. I'm really sorry." He apologies again, he seems so guilty of saying that.

I surpass my smile as I watch him. I just want to giggle and laugh out loud. He apologized to me, Sky, my husband apologised to me for whatever he did and is sitting in front of me for my forgiveness. He looks so nervous and fidgeting. If I say I won't accept the apology and won't forgive him, he might not even sleep peacefully until the next few days. Well, I'm not that evil so of course I'm gonna forgive my husband, after all he realised his mistake.

"Um...I'm sorry too for behaving like a teenager and arguing with you all the time. Also for what I did today, going to pub and getting drunk wasn't good. I even made you come to get me." I too tell him sorry.

I'm not the kind of guy who won't reflect on his mistakes, if I'm guilty of any of my actions then I'll apologise.

"That's fine, I guess you were just being yourself." I give him a look at his words and he shakes his head instantly, "I mean I forgive you, yeah. So what about me? Will you forgive me too and let's have peace between us?" He asks me hopefully.

"Well, I'll forgive you," a smile immediately appears on his face. He looks so cute, how I wish I could just hug him and kiss him, "but on one condition."

His smile disappears and his shoulders slumps, "what condition?"

I smile and move closer to him, sitting so close to him that I can even hear when he gulped down.

"Call me baby."
