Eco's POV

"Eco, stop being dull and sluggish. Get up right now and come and eat lunch!" My dad's angry voice makes me lift up my head from the comfortable pillow and look at him.

He's standing at the door, holding the knob with one hand and staring at me in anger, a little worried as well.

"I'm not hungry." I mumble and keep my head back on the pillow, I'm laying on my stomach so I can't see my dad now.

"Why are you not? You didn't even eat breakfast." He says and I hear his footsteps approach, "for god's sake, tell me if there's anything wrong. You being quiet and laying on the bed all the while doesn't make things better. You're being dull since you came home and barely eating anything. And you didn't even agree when I decided to call Sidney and ask him if they know what happened to you."

"They don't know anything." I mumble the truth because except Sky no one knows what happened.

"Fine! Then you tell me what happened?" He queries.

"Nothing happened." I reply.

"If nothing happened, why are you like this? Or perhaps are you missing your husband and want to go back to him?" He asks, a little astonished that it might be true.

It's actually true, I do miss my husband and want to go back to him. But I'm still angry and hurt. He has been sending me messages and calling me which I never answered. One more point added to my list as why I'm angry at him. Instead of calling me when I'm not responding, can't he come by himself and see how am I doing or why I'm not answering his calls? Didn't he not miss me to the point that he just want to run to me and take me with him? Because I feel exactly the same. I just want to run to him.

"Eco!" Dad screams my name and I jolt out from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I put a question, did he say anything while I was spacing out?

"I asked you are you like this because you miss you husband?" He repeats his question.

"I told you I'm here because I miss you guys. Can't I just stay here? Or do you want to send me away already?" I call out, annoyed with his unending questions.

I already told them at the time I arrived here that I miss them and I'll be here for a week or so. I don't know why he's still asking me.

"You miss us but you don't spend time with us instead lock yourself in your room all the time. I didn't know the meaning of spending time with parents is changing in recent times." He says sarcastically and I turn around before sitting up, "Eco, I know what kind of person you are. I literally brought you up. Be an annoying piece of shit and a spoiled brat, I would rather see you that way and not being so dull and sad. This isn't you. I know you don't want to share what's bothering you but don't keep within you. If not me, tell to your father or your husband or anyone for that matter. Just don't suffer within yourself."

With that saying, my dad leaves my room even without waiting for me to say something. Not that I was gonna say anything.

I understand why my dad spoke like that and how he wants me to get back to my normal self. I swear I want to be like that as well. But I'm hurt and it's making me feel so miserable. I lost interest in anything and just keep thinking about Sky. I don't even know if he even thought of me atleast once, obviously apart from the times when he called me. Why don't he love me? Am I that unlovable? Not even a ounce of interest he got in me during these two months? Then how come I'm loving him so much to the point that I feel so lost and not myself when I'm not with him? I have so many questions in mind but none have answers to them.

Sighing, I slowly get down the bed and head to the washroom. I need to bathe, I didn't take a shower today until now. Actually it's been like this since last three days, from the time I came here. I'm not following any time schedule and lazing all day along, being miserable and getting consumed with negative thoughts. Getting in the bathroom, I take off my clothes and stand under the cold shower for a long while. I would have stayed even longer but someone, obviously my dad, is hitting on the door hard as he's calling me out. He's so persistent that I couldn't take my shower in peace. Grabbing my towel, I dry myself and wrap it around my waist before opening the door. There stands my dad nervously.

"What's wrong?" I ask in a bored way while drying my hair with the hand towel.

"Sky is here." He whispers and my eyes widened in shock.

My heart starts beating rapidly as it sinks in my mind. Sky is here!

"Your husband is here, Eco." Dad repeats and I narrow my eyes at him.

"Dad, I know Sky is my husband." I dead pan.

"Argh! Whatever! I'm here to tell you that your husband is here and that you need to come down now, immediately." He whisper yells.

I don't know why he's whispering. It's not like Sky can hear our talking as he's downstairs while we're upstairs. But also I don't dwell much on it because my dad is weird.

"Tell him to wait. I need to dress up and get ready, it'll take time." I say as if Sky coming here don't matter to me when infact I'm going crazy within and actually need time to come to the realisation that he's here for me.

"ECO!" He screams my name, again in whisper.

"What?" I call out.

"You can't be serious." He states with a sigh.

"I'm dead serious." I resort back.

"What if he's busy and need to return back to office? Maybe he's here because it's lunch hour and wanted to see you because he miss you. You shouldn't behave like this, Eco." He disciplines me.

Wasn't he the one who said I should be a spolied person and behave on my own accord a few minutes ago? I shake my head internally.

"If he's busy then let him go. But it'll take time for me. Either he waits or leaves, I'm not bothered." I shrug off.

I'm damn bothered! I don't want him to leave, he should wait for me. I actually don't want to make him wait and all but I really need to get ready. But he deserves this from me for what he did to me. Argh! I'm conflicted.

"Oh! So bossy." Dad throws his hands up in air in frastruation, "10 minutes, Eco, I'll tell sky to wait for 10 minutes. You have 10 minutes to get ready and come down. Don't make him wait long and don't cry when he actually leaves." With that dad leaves.

As soon as the door closes, I rush to my closet. I only have 10 minutes within which I need to select my dress, wear it and get ready. Usually I take 10 minutes only to choose the type of dress I wear. But now, I need to speed up. I open my closet and quickly scan a good dress which I somehow manage to get within a minute. I dress up and then stand in front of the mirror to get ready. I quickly but neatly style my hair and get ready. When I look at the watch, I realise I took 11 minutes, a minute more than what my dad told. But who cares?

Running to my door in long strides, I hold the knob to open it but stop before I could. I'm nervous, damn nervous. I'm behaving like a teenage girl meeting her crush for the first time when it's not the case. First, I'm not a girl and Sky is not my crush but he's my husband. It's not our first meeting and we've been away only for like 3 days. I don't know what's wrong with my heart. It's beating so fast that I can actually hear the sound and I'm scared when I go down, Sky will be able to hear as well. I take a moment, to calm down and control my feelings. Easy, it's just Sky, my husband with whom I've spend 2 months already. 3 days of not seeing and not talking to each other doesn't make much difference. I inhale and exhale and finally open my door.

Stepping out, I peek from up and see Sky sitting on the couch with my dad, talking and laughing. I almost lose myself seeing him, only 3 days but it felt like 3 decades. I didn't know he have such effect on me.

You're doomed, Eco. You fell so hard that no one can help you.
