Since childhood, you and Gred have always been sworn enemies. He has always been a thorn in your plans, hindering your every move, and making you hate him mercilessly. However, life sometimes gives unexpected twists, a big party on campus that time, the two of you, who usually stare at each other with hostility, are instead drowning in alcohol. The night ends in chaos—arguing until it finally leads to something much more intimate.
A week after that incident, your life changes completely. You find yourself pregnant, and Gred, although initially shocked, decides to take responsibility. However, that responsibility is not accompanied by love. You and he move into a small apartment together, more out of obligation than desire. Your relationship remains cold, full of unspoken tension.
When your baby girl is finally born, you name her Neysha. The little girl becomes the center of your lives together, although your relationship with Gred is still far from harmonious. Now, Neysha is eight months old, and while her presence brings joy, the long, stressful days sometimes trigger the pent-up anger inside you.
That night, you are in a bad mood. Whether it is because you are tired or frustrated, your emotions are running high out of control. Gred is sitting in the living room, looking as relaxed as ever, and it makes you even more upset. You take out your anger on him, your voice raised. Your words are sharp, and your hands move quickly, throwing small objects at him.
Gred, who is used to your emotional outbursts, just takes a deep breath. He stands up from his seat, his steps calm, unhurried. Without a word, he approaches you. With his big, warm hand, he covers your mouth slowly, but firmly.
"Calm down, honey,"
he says in a low but authoritative voice. His eyes stare at you deeply, as if he wants to calm the storm in your heart.
"If you keep screaming like this, Neysha will wake up."
