Couple of days later, my mother and my mother-in-law visits us.

I opened the door one morning to find them both smiling ear to ear together in our doorstep.

"Good morning!" They both cheered in unison. Eeek, they sounded carbon copy of each other. No wonder they became best friends after our marriage. Yes, my mother started hanging out with her so much, she barely had time to call me.

"Good morning. " I muttered. There simply was nothing good about this morning. My husband had been ignoring me so much that I actually haven't heard a word from him in 2 days.

"Aigoo.. Why do you look so dull? Has my son been bothering you?" My mother-in-law said, sympathy dripping from her voice.

"A-Aniyeyo. He's a wonderful man. Just a little shy." I managed to say.

"Don't lie. I know my son." She said firmly as she stepped inside. I led them to sit at our living room and went to the kitchen to make some tea.

"Mother, shall I make lemon tea for you?" I yelled from the kitchen.

"Huh? Ye and oolong tea for your in law." She yelled back.

I took the tray to my mothers and took a seat opposite of them.

"Wah~ so tasty." My in law said as she sipped again. "Now let's talk about what we came here for before I forget."

I looked at them both, anticipating. As if this marriage wasn't a mistake enough, what else have they got up their sleeves?

I smiled and put on a eager look on my face, "Yes?"

"My son hasn't improved at all. It's been a while. Have you talked to him even a little?"

I blinked. "Yes, I've tried. Many times but didn't get any response."

"You know the marriage was against his will right?" My In Law said, more of a statement than a question. "His father told him to do it, so he did. He's very obedient towards his father. But we can't force him to be happy. That's your job. Can you please? I ask this of you. I'll be forever in you debt if you'd. Please." She pleaded, concern for her son was showing from her every feature.

She really loves her son.

"I'll do my best. But what can I do if he doesn't respond?" I said hoenstly.

"I'll help you! You're can be prettier if you take care of yourself. Seduce him, do anything. I don't care. Just get him to become normal again." She suggested.

Seduce? I can't even get him to talk to me how am I supposed to seduce him? Besides, I'd probably just look like an idiot and he'd hate me even more.

"I-I can't do that."

"Come on. He's your husband. Not some random man. All wives have to do that. How else would you they keep their husbands interested?" My mother encouraged. It was so strange. My own mother saying something like that. She sounded so foreign, I felt like I don't even know her anymore. Cringe worthy.

"Still... He doesn't even look at me." I said, my head hung low.

"I can fix that." My mother-in-law smiled.

After what seemed like forever my mothers dropped me off at my home and left. I entered the room, fresh from a spa, hands full of shopping bags. I couldn't believe my mother bought me all these. She'd usually complain when I wanted to buy something "unnecessary" but I guess all these are considered important to her. I got my whole body waxed, face scrubbed, hair done and even a manicure. And for the first time in my life, my mother didn't object. While doing all that i couldn't help but feel I was being dolled up to be sacrificed to the devil or something. I'm jealous of my husband. His mom was trying so hard for him to be happy and he's being a jerk and ignoring all her efforts. Now even my mom has joined the band. But what about me? Why doesn't anyone ask what I want? Why do I have to seduce him? I don't even know him!

I sighed and put on a pretty red dress. It hugged my body perfectly despite it being a casual dress. I doubt he would look at me. He just doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would fall for such tricks. But for the hapiness of my mothers I have to try atleast.

Then I waited. I waited in front of the Tv, watching another episode of a drama. It's awfully boring in an empty house.

I jumped from my seat as i heard the front door open. Then i quickly sat back down. I can't let him know I was waiting for him.

My mother-in-law said,

"Miha, First step of getting a boys heart is to look attractive, make him notice you. Once he does, The second step is to ignore him. Play hard to get. And the third step is... "

I snapped out of my thoughts at the sudden noise of another door slamming shut. Crap! He's already in the bedroom! He didn't even notice me. Idiot miha, you should have made him look at you atleast.

Gah! I quickly got up and dashed towards the bedroom. I opened the door and froze.

He was in the middle of changing. He looked up at me with a t shirt in his hand. He was completely shirtless but thank god he had pants on.

I quickly turned around, covering my face in embarrassment and non stop repeating "I'm sorry I'm sorry."

He didn't say anything but I guess he quickly put on his t shirt. I heard him open the closet, picking up something from there and opening the bathroom door.

So he must have gone there to change his pants.

God! What is wrong with me! I knew he always change at this time, why did I go there? Why am I such an idiot? I saw him half naked! Oh my god I could just die of embarrassment right now. Wait, he's my husband. It's not a big deal right? I saw his six pack ... Snap out of it, Miha! Before you start drooling. Gross!

I heard the door open again, followed by his footsteps. He comes to a sudden halt as he noticed me still in the room.

"Do you have something to say?" He asked, while I felt like my throat has gone drier than the sahara desert. Turn around now! Let him see your outfit you worked so hard on!

I slowly turned around. Ta-da!

No reaction. He just stared at me patiently, waiting for me to explain my strange behavior.

What I wanted to say was "HELLO?! My dress? Look at my dress! Look how smooth my skin is now! Look I even changed my hairstyle!"

He raised his eyebrows impatiently.

My confidence suddenly went up in smokes.

So all I managed to say was, "Nothing." And ran out of the room.
