TORUM:
Nuna tried to kiss me, but I moved my lips away. She stood stiff, stunned as if she didn't understand what was happening. She tried to kiss me again, I moved my lips away from her again.
"Torum? What's the matter?" She asked.
"I don't feel good," I lied.
Lately, she had tried to get closer to me. I noticed her more affectionate, more smiling. I could feel that she was really trying to keep a sinking marriage afloat.
She snorted and moved to the other end of the bed. She turned her back on me.
It was already almost midnight. I just wanted to sleep.
"Is there anyone else?" She asked.
"What?"
"You heard me, is there anyone else?"
What a good question. The million golden coins question. Was there someone else? Complicated. Yes and no at the same time.
Itati, the love of my life. She had died nearly two decades ago. In a way, I never stopped loving her, even though I married Nuna.
