Irina's point of view:

He came home late last night. I pretended to have slept. He undressed and went inside the toilet, his shirts smells of fresh blood. I understood what he just did. Sometimes every month, Ruslan and dad often comes home smelling like that. It didn't mind me, I guess I am used to it now.

I didn't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up the next morning, my husband was in no place to me found. I didn't see him on the bed like I expected. I felt so angry but not disappointed, I guess I am getting used to waking up without him in bed.

I went out of the bed and walked to the bathroom, I took a shower and went out of the bathroom. I went to the other room to dress up. After that I went out of the hotel room to the reception area.

"Good morning ma, what can I do for you?" The receptionist asked in her native Thai language.

"I don't understand your langue." I said to her.

"I am sorry mrs anton, I said what can I do for you?" She translated for me to English.

"Have you seen my husband around?" I asked her.

"Yes, he went out of the hotel early in the morning." She asked.

Of course, he went out without informing me.

"I feel bored, is there any place I can go to in this hotel?" I asked her.

"There are so many places that you can go to free you mind and to make you cheerful. We have the spa area, the bar area, the club area, we have the swimming area, etc." She explained.

I smiled brightly at her after the hearing of the swimming area.

"Where is the swimming pool located?" I asked her.

"It is located at the left side of the hotel, do you need anyone to escort you there?" She asked me.

"I am coming, let me change to my swimming dress." I said to her as I left the reception area to my hotel room. I quickly unpacked my back and searched for my bikinis, I settled with a peach coloured bikini, I wore my mini gown and went out of the hotel room to the reception area.

"I am back." I told the receptionist.

"You look beautiful." She said in a awe.

"Thank you." I said to her with a genuine smile.

See called a one if the staff to escort me to the pool area, and I followed her willingly and delightfully.

"Here you are ma. I hope you have a nice time, I will leave you now" she said and left.

The pool is filled with people. There are many crowds that I kinda regret my decision of coming here. I could feel glances of the people on me. 

This is so absurd, I wish to go back but I am already here so there is no turning back. 

I went to the swimming pool bench and lied down.

I watched how the people are playing, swimming and romancing in the pool. They are also some outside the pool aswell doing the same and also flirting with one another.

I closed my eyes enjoying the peaceful way the breeze is hitting me. I might fall asleep any moment from now.

"Hello" A man walked up to me and sat on one of the benches facing me. 

"Hey." I said to him giving him my full attention. 

"Mā thả xarị thī̀ nī̀ khn deīyw khn s̄wy"  He said.

"I don't understand Thai." I said to him as I looked over the pool area.

"My bad. I said what are you doing out here alone, beautiful lady?" He repeated his question.

"Obviously for fresh air and to have fun." I replied him as I faced him back.

He looked handsome and collected. He has a cute face and a button shaped nose. He smiled in a unique way and his faces expresses his feelings. He is so handsome but no as roman except that Roman has a scary face. He has a low cut.

"That's cool. Do you mind if I join you?" He asked.

"You already joined so no need to ask." I said.

"You got me there. I am Mallow and you are?" He introduced himself.

"I am Irina." I informed him.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady." He flattered by that.

"Oh my! Thank you, Mallow." I appreciated his admiration.

"Russian accent, I see." He said as he chuckled.

"Is it obvious?" I asked him.

"Yes." He replied.

"I am a Russian. Born and bred in that country." I told him.

"You are beautiful." He complimented.

"Thank you." I said.

"I wish to take you out tonight, it is be so stupid if me if I don't take this beautiful goddess that needs to be worshipped out in a date. Are you free tonight?" He asked.

"I am sorry but I am married." I showed him my wedding ring.

He frowned for a few seconds before he restored his smile to his cute face.

"Your husband is such a lucky guy. He should know your worth. He should know that you are a rare gem that can't be found so easily." He explained making my heart to explode with adoration for him.

Does my husband know my worth?

That is the question I can't answer right now.

"Are you here for a vacation?" He asked.

"I am here for my honeymoon" I replied him.

"Oh! So where is your husband?" He asked looking around.

"He...." I stuttered.

"Did he leave leave you here by yourself?" He asked with a frown.

"No, he didn't. He stepped out to get me stuff's." I lied.

I didn't know where my husband went to. I woke up to find him missing just like yesterday.

"Oh! That's nice." He said.

And that was how we started talking. We talked about stuffs. He is quite a talkative. He keeps talking non stop. He talked about some many things I am not aware of and few things I am aware of. 

I just kept responding him by nodding my head and some words like really? Huh! Hm and so on.
