Chapter 113 - The Touch Of A Mother's

Watching the sunrise with a beloved partner was a moment that can never be forgotten, just like now, Vino's warm arms wrapped around Vira's neck, warming her from the wind that hit her body.

"Isn't this a very beautiful sight?" Asked Vino.

Vira nodded her head, agreeing with her husband's words but there was one thing that she thought was more beautiful than the sight that refreshed her eyes this morning.

"But my life right now is more beautiful," she said. "I can't say anything but thank you, I never thought that I could sit in an expensive and classy yacht like this, I never thought that I could become the wife of a great man like you, all of this was beyond my expectations, god so good to me. Even though in my dreams I never expected something like this, but now I feel it." Vira landed a kiss on her husband's cheek, she kissed her husband's cheek with deep feelings.

Vino stroked his wife's shoulder, his eyes glowed with love and happiness. "I am also very grateful to be able to sit alone with my wife on this ship, enjoying the sunrise with full joy I've never felt this kind of feeling before, you're so grateful to me, I feel like a reasonable person, it seems like you're the only one who likes my presence."

hearing her husband's pessimistic remarks made Vira turn her head away, she looked at the side face of her husband who looked so handsome and flawless. "Why do you say all that, you are a great man, I am proud of you, you are not very good at expressing yourself, but I believe and understand that you are the best man I have ever known in this world."

Vino felt his chest warm with the rubbing of his wife's hand, he hugged his wife's body tighter.

"Husband, I feel my head is a little heavy and dizzy, I think I'm too happy that my stomach feels full of butterflies." Vira grimaced slightly while giving her husband a sad look.

"Do you have a fever?" Vino checked his wife's forehead, but her temperature seemed normal. "What do you feel besides your head heavy, your stomach full? Is there anything else? I'll call the doctor." He said, panicked.

Vino just wanted to get up from the position at the end of the boat enjoying the sunrise.

Vira held her husband's arm to sit in their place longer.

"I still want to see the ocean with you," she croaked as she tightened her hand on her husband's arm, she looked spoiled, her face was a little pale and made Vino anxious.

It seemed that his wife's cardigan was too thin, so Vino took the initiative to take off his coat and asked his wife to stack the clothes with his coat.

"It's too big, and you'll catch a cold if it is given to me," Vira said reluctantly.

Vino shook his head, changed position, sat behind Vira's body with his legs wide apart, he asked his wife to lean on his chest. "I won't be cold as long as you are here to warm my heart."

"I'm very happy to be your life partner because before I couldn't choose my life path, I couldn't tell which was love and which was just a trick, I was too naive to live my life though it was over since my mother forced me to be a submissive and sweet little girl."

Vira slightly raised her head, she caught the look in her husband's eyes which felt cold and dark.

The side of the past was difficult for Vino to reveal, but this time, Vira was ready to listen to everything, whatever it is, she wants her husband to be free from all the bitter memories in the past.

"I was born with pseudo sex, my mom and dad always argue over this issue, dad wants me to do chromosome, hormone and genital tests but my mom always refuses, She wants a cute, smart and adorable daughter, she doesn't like boys, my mom is known as a woman who was kind and friendly, in social circles, she is quite famous and respected. but inside the house, she's transformed into a different person."

Vira straightened her back, she looked at her husband's gloomy face, her palm gently caressed the tears that fell on her husband's cheeks.

Vino unconsciously shed tears reminiscing about his dark past, the past that made him traumatic and unable to live life like other normal children, the past that still frequents his dreams.

Vira bit her lip, she couldn't see Vino's sad face that made her chest tight, she hugged her husband tightly and whispered. "If you can't tell me everything, you don't have to tell me, I am here because I know you right now, you are the best man in my life, for me, you are a savior hero, I beg you if it will only make you sad and depressed, you can save it and didn't tell me. I understand, I totally understand, whatever you decide, it is the best for you."

Vino nodded his head in Vira's arms. His breath felt so heavy, everything was clear on his face, this burden was still pressing on his head and heart.

"If I tell you everything, I'm sure… you will accept me, you will be by my side, you will continue to support me. You and she are the same women. Only you and she accepted me as I am." Vino smiled in the middle of his glassy eyes.

Vira loosened her arms, she frowned and gave her husband a sharp look.

"Who is she, what-- is she your former first love, that makes you so blind and lousy. I don't want to be compared to her!"Vira looked away, folded her arms across her chest, she immediately turned annoyed.

Seeing his wife's behavior, Vino's teary eyes turned clear, he pulled Vira's body into his arms, kissing his wife's forehead several times. "How could you even think about Sarah!"

"See! You even said her name." Vira struggled, trying to free herself from her husband's tighter embrace.

"So, I can not mention her name, ah how about I say by initials, for example, Miss S." Vino gave an idea.

Vira pursed her lips. "I don't like you bringing her into our chat" Vira hissed spoiled.

Vino was silent for a moment, Oops, looks like he made a mistake and ruined his wife's mood.

"But, I'm not talking about Miss S, I was talking about the similarities between you and--"

"And who, So besides Sarah, you still have a lot of other women, ah! You're annoying." Vira was getting angry.

"No honey, it's not like that. I'm talking about the woman in the photo," said Vino trying to explain and seduce his wife to stop putting on a sullen face. He stroked Vira's soft cheek and was about to land a kiss, but his wife refused by moving her face away.

"Wait, the woman who-- ah, the woman you took the picture with on the beach?" Vira tried to remember.

Vino nodded his head.

"She looks so kind and gentle, doesn't she live on this island, why don't you meet her?" Vira suggested.

Vino looks thoughtful and makes his wife feel strange. "Why?"

"I've asked others about her several times, but I don't know her name, and-- it's been a long time, I never saw her again. After all, I rarely visit this resort. Maybe she has moved to the city, I was curious about the baby, she was pregnant at the time, whether she gave birth to a baby girl or a boy, the baby must be very lucky to have such a gentle and understanding mother like her." Vino's voice trembled, he remembered how his mother always wanted to look perfect in front of other people, and it tormented his mind.

"Mother, a mother .." Vira's voice whispered, her eyes stared at the warm morning sun then she turned and looked into her husband's eyes. "Ever since I was born, I didn't know what the touch of a mother's hand felt like."

her voice sounded faint, she raised her palms in the air, covering the sun's refraction that made her eyes dazzle. "Is the touch of a mother's hand felt warm, or cold?" She didn't know who to ask.

Vino was silent. he couldn't answer Vira's question, for him, the memory of his mother was only part of the cold and frozen past, he wanted to melt the frozen part with the sunlight this morning, but he realized, even though the sun was warm but still couldn't melt all the corners in his heart.

"My mother, she is a woman who is successful in her career, her name is so good in society, her title is the wife of a successful businessman, has a daughter who is talented and accomplished, my mother is a benchmark for the envy of women in her environment, and when all her perfection was broken, she becomes miserable and hurt, she can't accept the defeat and shortcomings, she doesn't like all that, she doesn't like my father's affair, she doesn't like me rebelling. She doesn't like her tainted life, she--" Vino couldn't continue his sentence anymore, he bowed deeply, breathed heavily, his shoulders shook, he cried.

Mother, a word for women, whose meaning is too deep to dive into.
