Heart To Heart

When Ryu came inside the house,Alicia was sitting cross legged on the floor with a first aid box in front of her.Without saying a word,she extended a hand towards Ryu .Understanding her intentions,Ryu went to her and sat down across her.Quietly,she cleaned the scratches that he had received from being rough with that man.Once she had applied the medication,she packed away the box and made a move to get up.But Ryu had caught the sheen of tears in her eyes.

Holding her wrist,he caught her and said,"Come here."

Needing his warmth and support,Alicia quickly crawled into Ryu's lap and quickly buried her face in the crook of his neck.Feeling the wetness of her tears against his skin,Ryu consoled her.He did not think that these tears were for his minor hurts but he did not know how to console her with words.So he wrapped his arms around her and let her be.After a while,Alicia had soaked through Ryu's t shirt and she asked with a hiccup,"Hubby,do you think I am a very bad person?"
