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

Somewhere in Australia.

In a dimly lit spacious room surrounded with computers working on their own, Sei was quietly staring at a large screen when his cellphone suddenly vibrated.

Zaki who was sitting right in front the door looking like a lazy security guard immediately awakened. He knew that nobody will ever call Sei’s personal phone at this moment. Even his own grandfather couldn’t. Therefore, he could only deduce that it’s no other than the wife.

He then instantly flew like wind as he quietly attempted eavesdropping behind Sei.

Sei on the other hand, watched his phone as it rungs for a while before he finally answered it.

"H-hello?"

As soon as Sei heard Davi’s sweet voice, he looked as though he just heard a certain mystic sound, and he seemed to suddenly forgot that he needs to talk back.

"H-hello? S-sei?" By the time she said her second ’hello’, the man seemed awakened, however, the moment he heard her called his name, for unknown reason, no word came out of his mouth.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

Hearing her third hello, Sei seemed to returned to his senses once again.

However, before he could open his mouth to answer her, the girl’s voice abruptly played again like a beautiful song. "Is this my husband, Sei?"

Her gentle voice calling him sweetly as ’my husband’, instantly stunned the man. He couldn’t speak and he seemes looking absolutely dumbfounded. Well, part of it was because the girl never addressed him like that before.

"Sei?"

The girl called his name for the third time, and Sei finally opened his mouth but before any sound could came out from it, Davi’s voice rang out again. "Thank you for letting me contact you."

Upon hearing her, Sei remained silent. He felt like he was a computer currently being attacked by super viruses one after another, not even giving him the chance to react. Although, the attack actually wasn’t really that fast, it was him who was strangely reacting quite late. He was like a supercomputer suddenly lagging slow due to some powerful virus attack.

A short silence went by and Sei somehow manage to revive himself quickly, however, for the fourth time, before his voice came out of his mouth, the girl on the other side of the phone talked again, and this time the attack seemed quite lethal.

"I miss you," she said and the call promptly ended.

That moment, silence enveloped the entire room and Sei remained in dazed. The last attack seemed to be strong enough to shut down the computer by force.

Zaki who was eavesdropping the whole time -although he never heard a thing- waved his hand in front of Sei’s face but the man remained motionless.

"My god Sei! What the hell happened? Wake up! The call already ended without you even saying a word back. Are you serious?" Zaki’s loud voice echoed in the whole room. And he looked as though he didn’t know whether to laugh or what. He was so curious on what the girl had told him for him to be dumbfounded to that extent.

Thankfully, the man seemed to finally awakened and he looked blankly at him.

"She called my name, three times," he said and Zaki’s forehead was quickly covered with deep lines for a moment, but he soon realized that it’s actually a big thing since surprisingly, Davi never called him by name apart from that one time when she was kidnapped.

"And?" Zaki continued asking.

"She called me ’my husband’,"

"H-huh?" Zaki was even more confused. So what? Was that a big deal?

"It’s the first time I heard her addressed me that."

"Oh... okay. And?"

"She thanked me,"

"And?"

"She said..." Zaki was like a little kid waiting for the new year’s final countdown as he waits for the continuation of Sei’s words.

"She said she missed me."

A short silence followed Sei’s statement before Zaki could talk again. "That’s all?"

"Mm. That’s all. I felt like I was suddenly under attack."

"Pfft. Hahaha." Seriously?

Zaki rolled on the floor as he laughed with all his heart. He even smacked the floor as he laughs out loud like crazy while Sei just quietly raised his head and stared at the dim light above him. At that moment, a certain warm disturbance was brewing inside Sei’s chest, and a mysterious and unfathomably invisible fire blazed across his eyes.
