ACE



He didn't want to misunderstand her. But until this assignment was over and everyone, including Gina and himself was safe, he couldn't take advantage of her willingness or his desire to make the marriage more real. He will not think about what will happen in the future as long as what is important to him now. He had to put his job first, the job he'd almost lost, even after all he'd invested in it. He was doubly obligated to succeed now.



"You know I'll just lie if I say I don't like you, Gina." he said as he stepped closer to Gina. "I've wanted you since the beginning. I can't hide that from you. But whatever the reason for our marriage, that it will not change."



"I really don't understand you, Ace. It's hard for me to understand you."

"You! You're my problem. I hate you, Ace. I hate you."



Gina turned her back on him and ran to the terrace. A few more minutes passed before he thought of following his wife there.



He reached Gina there as if she was looking into the distance. She doesn't notice him right away because she might be thinking deeply. He cleared his throat, so she turned to him. But silence still prevailed between the two of them.

After a few hours in the hospital, they now arrived at Maryam's place, but she didn't think they could catch up with the reception. The whole area was quiet and the only thing they could hear was the instrumental music coming from the house of Maryam.



"This day is really weird." Ace said softly but she heard it.



She was just following Ace as he entered Maryam's house, but she bumped his back because he suddenly stopped. She looked in which direction Ace was looking and saw Maryam and Judge Soler dancing in her spacious living room. They were in each other's arms and swaying a little to the sweet music.
