How does a woman deal with her longing to the man she loves?

I don't know..

It's torturing to know that Eliyas Filladi was sleeping down stairs but was still the farthest from my reach.

All my surrounding looked horibly different, the villa seemed more dimly and lifeless, and all people around me looked less lively, even the cook was effected by our long seemingly unamendable dispute because the food tasted awful, or was it just my lack of appetite seeing Eliyas's chair empty in every meal?

The worst place in the whole villa was undeniably our room, it was monstrously painful to stay there alone, to sleep in a large bed looking at the empty pillow beside me, and to wake up every morning in an empty dark place.

At some point, I even started to wonder how was that man able to stay in this room after my departure? I always thought I had it harder since I had to move to a new place after our separation and start anew, but now that I'm spending my nights alone in the same old place with all the beautiful memories I have of it but without him, I'm finding it drastically much more torturing!

I guess news of our mishap reached even my in-laws, since few days later when I was sitting in the garden pensively looking at the trees, I heard someone calling my name.

When I turned behind me to see who that was, I was surprised to find Ines standing there.

The moment her eyes fell on me, she shamelessly commented:

_" Nana was right, you look awful."

I decided to simply ignore what she said, acting more mature I asked:

_" how are you doing?"

She walked closer, and as she occupied the seat beside me she replied:

_" I lived better days."

_" Is mother giving you hard time? She must be very excited for the wedding." I asked teasingly.

She remained pensively silent for a while, then replied:

_" Eliyas sure is an expert in punishing people, isn't he? I would rather prefer him scalding me for acting indecent instead of the torture of being under the mercy of mother's excitement."

_" Indeed he is.." I said with a long sigh.

Since I'm not someone who loves to waste unnecessary time, I straightforwardly asked:

_" You didn't come here to complain about mother, did you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

_" I really admire your honesty dear sister in-law." She smiled brightly.. Then added:

_"I'm here to take you out in a mission with me, you absolutely can't refuse to go."

_" what is it?" I asked feeling very skeptical.

She shook her head and refused to answer.

I mean, when was I and Ines ever in a relationship where she can simply come free load on me and drag me along in her secret "missions"?

Before I had time to understand what was exactly going on though..  She urged me to move saying:

_" go to your room and wear something convenient to go out already! We don't have much time to waste!"

As she was speaking, she already held my hands and forced me to stand up, then started pushing me back to the villa.

Although she was acting very strange, I was still feeling so disheartened to even care for what she was doing or to try to keep up with her, consequently:
- she dragged me.. I was obediently dragged.
- she pushed me up the stairs.. I was obediently pushed up the stairs.
- she followed me inside my room without permission.. I absently let her in.
even when I finally opened my closet to select a decent outfit, she was so impatient that she soon came to see my clothes and started selecting an outfit for me by her self, even at this point, I was still acting like If I've just woken up from anesthesia.
