Chapter 111
Sometimes I can see him on the earth,
Sometimes atop the moon
This gaze of mine tells me to tie you in here in a single breath of mine
Near the heartbeats
Yes near it, let's make a home
Let's forget this world
There's spring season in the heart for the first time
There's a spring season and the peace has run away…..

After a while, the bathroom door opened and Daniel came out wearing white grey joggers and a sweatshirt.
"This house is beautiful," Amy said looking around the room, Ozan all changed and deep in his wonderland.
"Thanks! But this house isn't mine. I rented it so you guys can have a homey feeling!" He shrugged, slumping on the bed.
"On a serious note Daniel, how filthy rich are you!" Amy said making a pressing face.
Daniel smiled seeing her scrutinising gaze.
"I do have wealth, Amy but I don't like bragging about it!"
"You don't have to, one can see from your lifestyle!" Amy muttered under her breath.
"I didn't hear you," Daniel spoke, pulling the duvet over his legs.
"Nothing, I was saying I am going to take a shower!" Amy said in a breath, walking towards the bath.
Taking a quick shower, she went towards the bags for her night suit.
Her suitcase was already placed on the wooden bench along with Daniel's. She unzipped her suitcase and began to sift through her clothes for the pyjamas.
"What the hell!" She gasped while taking out a piece of lacy lingerie, it wasn't the only one. There were two more, one that Nadia bought her that day and a sheer one.
"Where did they come from!" Amy thought sifting through her bag but there were only pants, shirts and evening clothes other than that horrible stuff.
"Nadia!" She cursed under her breath remembering how cheerful and eager she was to do her packing and that teasing about honeymoon stuff.
There was no way she was going to wear such things to sleep with Daniel, at the time she had the urge to strangle Nadia for landing her in such a situation.
Biting her nails thinking of a solution and pacing the bathroom for half an hour, she finally decided to wear the one purple one which was a bit revealing.
It was a camisole with sheer fabric and a matching lacy thong. Though it was the least revealing, she still felt naked wearing them. She took a top from her suitcase and buttoned it above the camisole leaving her legs bare.
"I will honestly kill you, Nadia!" Amy mumbled stepping out of the bathroom, nervousness bubbling up inside her but to her relief, only a lamp was dimly illuminating the room and Daniel was already asleep facing the wall.
Sighing in relief, she hurriedly went to her side, covering herself with the duvet, closing her eyes letting the exhaustion take over her.
...., ........
"M-om-m pl-easee!" A six-year-old boy choked, struggling to get out of his mother's death grip.
"You deserve to die, you can't bring me a glass of water!" His mother's grip on his neck tightened, broken pieces of glass lay near the little boy's body. This time his fault was not bringing his mother a glass of water on time since he was busy dusting the whole house.
"I...I am s-sor-ry m-mother!"
"You are sorry, you are sorry, for what are you sorry for!!!" The woman roared smashing his head on the floor.
"All I asked your father was to give me wealth and a big house after marriage but what did he give me huh! He fucking cheated on me with your slut of a mother, that whore who snatched my happiness!" She growled letting go of his neck as the poor boy gasped sucking in the much-needed air.
"Loot at your pathetic self, even that slut of your mother dropped you on the doorstep!" She spat at him, venom evident in her tone as she stepped on her hand crushing it beneath her weight.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh, mom pleaseeee!" The boy screamed in a blood-curdling sound, tears flooding out his eyes on his red face but this did not affect the woman standing there. She only laughed seeing him in pain, a cynical smile on her face.
"Go die somewhere you fucking useless person and don't call me mom. You aren't my son!" She hissed vehemently before walking away leaving him writhing in pain and misery wishing for death to embrace him soon because to him death would be much better than this suffering.
Daniel bolted up from his sleep and choked on air, his eyes wet with tears and sweat covering his forehead. The dream was so surreal like someone was actually choking him. It was cold and malicious to be exact.
A soothing hand was placed on his back, he turned and his eyes met with Amy's concerned one.
"It's just a nightmare, Daniel. Nothing is going to happen, see I am here, our son is here right with you. Just take a deep breath!" Amy cooed in a gentle tone rubbing his back up and down.
It was soothing and calming for him as if someone held him only with his touch. He wiped his tears away calming his breath, removing her hand away.
Amy felt sad that he once again pushed her away, she was about to scoot back when Daniel pulled her in his lap, wrapping his arms around her making her yelp in surprise.
He wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her neck breathing deeply her faint shea butter scent. It was comforting, it made him relax and slowed his rapidly beating his heart. Amy didn't say anything but coming out of her shock she begin to rub his back in a soothing manner.
"It's going to be okay!" She mumbled as he closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her as if this comforting feeling would vanish in dust.
A moment later Amy made him lay down on his back while lying closer to him, cuddling him placing her head on his chest listening to the slow rhythm of his heart. Daniel didn't mutter a single thing, he couldn't. At that time he only wanted to relish this comfort which was lulling him to sleep.
After having a nightmare he never went back to sleep afraid of having them again but it was different this time. Like a solace was being given to him after all that suffering and misery. It was again this time Amy, the light in his darkness. He wasn't sure what to make of it but he felt like slowly, he was giving in to the feelings and emotions resurfacing in his heart. With that thoughts, he went back to sleep holding Amy closer.
Amy woke up to an empty bed, rubbing her eyes she saw that it was still early in the morning. In the distance, she could hear a shower running meaning that Daniel was awake.
Stretching her neck she peeked into the adjoining room, Ozan was still asleep sprawled in a carefree manner. She smiled before lying back down thinking about the moment that happened a few hours ago. The way he was whimpering and begging in his sleep, the sweat forming on his head, the tears escaping the surface of his lids.
It wasn't something she wanted to see Daniel suffering from. But she was happy that he didn't pushed her back instead he held her close in a never letting go manner. It was enough for her to see that gradually just a bit by bit she was melting his walls away.
Hearing the voice of the bathroom door, she closed her eyes on an instinct pretending to be asleep not knowing what form of Daniel she would see. She heard his footsteps nearing towards her before she felt his hands go through her hair and stay there, she almost sighed at the feeling of his touch.
Daniel knew she was awake and was pretending to be asleep maybe to make things less awkward. The thought brought a smile to his face a smile filled with thanks.
Bending to her level, he placed a lingering kiss on her temple.
"Thanks for being here." He whispered close to her ear and saw how she visibly shook. Caressing her hair for a second or two he walked towards Ozan's nursery placed a kiss on his forehead before making his way out of the room heading to his work.
Amy sat up and inhaled a much-needed breath that she was trying to hold for the past few minutes. A small smile rested on her face as she grinned like a teenage girl. She could still feel his eyes on her, his fingers on her hair. If she knew better she was desiring him, Daniel Saritas the person she always thought of as her best friend.
"Just what are you doing to me Daniel Saritas."
