You'll miss me if i go

Dilan's eyes were forced open from the several tapping and sobbing coming from lily.

His brows furrowed when he saw tears flow from her eyes.

He sat down while he brought her close

"What's the problem?" he asked.

She glanced at him for a while without saying a word

"Lily..."

Her body shook in fear and she retracted from him instantly. Dilan became alarmed, he went closer to her but she withdrew. When he finally caught hold of her his expression had already turned dark

"What's your problem?"

She blinked severally.

"I'm hungry Dilan"

Dilan fell silent

"....are you pregnant?" he asked

She shook her head.

He suddenly remembered that he had asked a maid to get breakfast ready for them but then it was almost noon.

"Sit here"

He went downstairs, straight into the kitchen.

"Where's the food I asked you to get?" he asked the maids

"Sorry, sir...I knocked several times but there was no response" The maid he had ordered explained.

"I'll do it myself" he concluded.

The girl fell to her knees

"Please....ill get it ready....immediately now" she begged crying

Dilan became perplexed

"I want to make something for my wife.....and I want to do it myself" he explained in a soft tone. The maids looked at each other, they soon left Dilan to prepare lunch.

After some minutes the aroma of Dilan's soup had surrounded the house. Lily had gone to check up on the food when she perceived the aroma that filled the house she ran into the kitchen immediately only to see her husband on an apron.

"Did you?....."

"Your very disobedient" he scolded her

He held her hand and sat her down at the dining

"Don't stand from here"

"Am not a dog" she bluffed

Dilan ruffled her hair and laughed. He went back into the kitchen and served lily before himself.

He sat down to eat when he caught Lily's eyes on his plate

"Lily?"

"Mm" She began to eat hungrily while Dilan watched her

When she was done she began to salivate on his own, he gently placed his in front of her. She glanced at him

"You're killing him...little flower" a voice rang in her head. She passed the plate back

"I'm full"

Dilan noticed the sudden change in her tone. He ate quietly while lily sat watching him, when he was done he took out the plates to the kitchen. Lily followed him, she watched him wash the cutleries. She sighted something red flow down his finger

"Dilan"

"Mm" he turned to her, she ran over to him and dried his hands. She dragged him to their room and began to treat the cut.

"Hey hey... it's just a cut"

Lily didn't respond.

"You're just torturing him.... you're killing him slowly....flower" another voice rang in her head. Her eyes became watery by the time she had covered the wound.

Dilan noticed a teardrop from her eyes but before he could hold her down she ran away.

Dilan searched the house but he still couldn't find her, he walked outside when he heard a sniff. He went back into the house and found a door that was locked

"Lily....open it lily" he shouted but she didn't respond. He left and came back, he managed to get the door open with a spare key he had found. Lily sat on the floor, her face drenched with tears, a knife lay beside her.

Dilan sighted the knife and took it immediately, he went closer to lily

"Leave me alone" she screamed.

"You'll miss me if I go" he replied. She just watched him and he took the opportunity and went closer to her hugging her. When he didn't hear her sob again he released her, she was asleep.
