I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Just after the event ended, Davi visited the comfort room. She was still inside the cubicle when she heard voices gossiping about her.

"You know what? I wonder what’s wrong with little Shin’s mother."

"Yeah, you noticed too? Even though her upper face was covered with mask, I know she never smiled. Am wondering what’s wrong with her? She never even smiled once the entire day."

"That’s what I’m telling you. Her son was such an adorable genius and yet, well she kept embracing him but she won’t smile at all?"

"Yeah, if I am her, I would have been beaming with pride and smiling the entire day for having such a genius kid like that."

"I agree, I agree. No matter what’s her reason, as a mother, she should at least smile and show her son that she’s happy."

"Yeah, right. She looks flawless and gorgeous even with those mask on but... sigh... I wonder if her son wasn’t bothered by it at all."

"I’m sure he is bothered. He’s a genius after all. He’s not like our clueless children who thinks like a child."

"That’s for sure."

Upon hearing those words, Davi felt her heart ripping apart. She gritted her teeth as she clenched the front of her dress in her fist. They were right, there’s no way Little Shin wouldn’t notice it. And them stating the truth made her eyes burned with hatred towards herself. As his mother, she shouldn’t be like this. She should show her son how happy she was, she should show him a bright smile as she embraced him, and she should smile and laugh together with him.

...

On their way home, Little Shin dozed off in Davi’s bosom. Sei could tell that there was a strange emotion in her eyes as she kept staring at her son while caressing him gently. It was as if her mind was occupied with something ever since they left the school.

When they finally reached the Chen residence. Sei offered to carry the boy but Davi said it’s okay. She then carried him and brought him inside the mansion while Sei remained there rooted on the ground, watching her walk away.

Sei lazily leaned on the Maybach Exelero behind him. His one hand was in his pocket as he lifted his face towards the dark sky. He was still wearing his mask as he stood there quietly, as if he was planning to count the stars.

An hour went by and Davi finally stepped out of the house.

Noticing her presence, Sei looked at her and when their eyes finally met, the girl stood still. She was approximately ten steps away from him yet Sei’s heart began to flutter.

Her, standing there in white dress was still like a dream to him. That familiar long dark hair and those delicate facial features that Sei missed so badly every single moment for the past five years, is now standing before him and he couldn’t ask for more. She was so beautiful and he just wanted to bury her in his arms again. However, Sei didn’t move at all. He just lovingly gazed at her quietly. Sei is suppressing his desire to the limit not to walk over to her.

At that point of time, there was nothing but silence between them. Until another long moment went by. Sei has almost surpassed his limit and was about to give in, when suddenly, the girl finally moved.

As soon as he saw her took a step forward, Sei’s lips finally curved up slightly. This is it. The most awaited moment for Sei.

The girl in white slowly walked towards him and Sei’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he smoothly straightened his posture, facing her as she approaches. This is actually what Sei was waiting for all this time. The time when she finally decided to face everything again. The time when she finally choose to rise again.

Sei never believed that she has changed for worst, he knew she was still the same strong girl he knew and loved. From the very start, he believes in her. He knew that all she needed was a little awakening and assurance and she will definitely rise again no matter how deep the hole she has fallen into. That was why, all this time Sei didn’t do a thing. He fully believed in her 100%. He knew that just as she did to him before, she will do anything for her son. He believed that her innate maternal love and her desire to give her all as a mother will be a great force to push her up and awaken her will to rise again.

As he looked at her eyes, there seemed to be something unfathomable in it. Her beautiful eyes were glimmering with something Sei couldn’t fully decipher. Five years ago, her eyes were always filled with strong determination and unwavering spirit no matter what happens, but this time, there seemed to be something different. It was as if the delicate angel has turned into someone fierce and more intense. Sei was sure that this was the aura that she gained serving in the military for years mixing with her original self. And he didn’t know why but the intensity in her eyes was effortlessly ruining the rhythm of his heartbeat.

The girl then stood one step away before him but Sei still didn’t say a word. He was waiting for her to be the first to speak. However, the next moment, the intensity in her eyes weaken and she lowered her head as though she was trying to hide her face from him.

It was as if the storm disappeared in an instant.

Sei was surprised with the sudden twist of her reactions, but before he could do a thing, Davi raised her hands and tugged Sei’s sleeves. Her head was still down as she finally talked to Sei.

"I... I have something to say." She said. Her voice was soft and filled with sorrow.

"Mm. Please say it all. I will listen." Sei replied. His voice was encouraging, gentle as ever.

"I... I’m sorry." She uttered and Sei’s face darkened. He didn’t expect that the first thing she tells him was ’I’m sorry’, making his heart constrict.

"There’s no reason for you to say sorry." He replied.

"But I’m the one who made you suffer." She retorted and Sei finally snapped. He held her face and made her look at him.

"You’re wrong. We are just the same, both of us are just victims. We both suffered in their hands. They were the only ones to be blamed for everything that has happened in our lives. And didn’t you already sacrificed enough for me too? We both suffered for each other’s sake. So please, stop blaming yourself, stop feeling guilty. Everything has never been your fault. Do you understand?" Sei stated firmly and honestly. His voice was powerful and it pierced straight through her heart. His words were soothing and heavy and Davi couldn’t help but accept every word he uttered from the bottom of her heart, as if his words were the only thing she would believe in this world without question.

Many times before, she wrestled within herself, trying to reason out the same words Sei just told her, however, she was having a hard time believing the thoughts in her head. She felt so guilty and responsible. But now that it was Sei who told her the words for her redemption, her heart and mind instantly surrendered totally and succumbed to his words. Making her realized once again that this man still holds the key of her complete faith, devotion and recovery.
