Her Kind of Joke

"You're mother? What kind of mother would teach her daughter to use guns? I mean, why would she teach to you?" Akki wanted to say it angrily but he needed to take her trust so he made it sound so concerned.

"A loving mother I guess." Zowie's emotional eyes wanted to look away from Akki's face but she needed him to see herself.

'A loving mother? Or a cruel one? Oh right! She is maybe a loving mother by letting you be in love with guns! Great!' He thought as she heard her.

But as he saw her wife's sincere eyes from telling it, he looked away. He did not want to be persuaded with such ludicrous idea.

"She wanted to protect me from my father. She really did not want me to learn it but I insisted because I badly wanted her to come home and be free. And in order for her to come home, I need to fix things for her first so I have to come first."

"Where's your mother now?" Akki seriously asked, trying to keep his annoyance. He was becoming impatient from her story because it was so irritating for his ears.

For a while, she was silent. Then, she slowly stood up.

"Before we get so serious, I think I need to prepare a dinner for my hubby first!" She put her lips on his forehead before giving him a smile.

Zowie was about to leave when Akki's right hand held her waist to stop her so she had pulled him a little.

"Thank you, wifey." Akki sounded so sweet. He was actually dying inside to get her answer.

"Oh, didn't your right arm hurt? Your shot was on the right of your back ,right?" She worriedly asked.

"It hurts a little. I forgot I had a wound because I got excited to hear that my wife will be making a dinner for me."

Zowie turned around to face him. She was wearing her curved lips but her eyes were a bit gloomy.

"Okay, wait for me hubby. I'll make it very special and fast!"

Akki was smiling like a child and nodded at her words.

Then, she left him. And Akki's face turned cold.

'Poor innocent little wifey!' Akki instantly thought with a sort of guilt in his heart.

'Akki you did not have to feel guilty for her. She is the daughter of the woman who mercilessly killed your father! And her mother trained her with guns! Who knows she may have sent her daughter to kill you!' His evil side was telling him.

'But, she did not hide the fact that she loves guns! Instead, she "saved" you with it! And now she'll be heartily preparing you a dinner! Isn't she a caring, thoughtful and awesome wife?' His good side was now talking.

His brain was starting to hurt.

"This woman is really getting into my nerves!" He hopelessly exhaled in the end and patted his head with his hand as he closed his eyes.

After fifteen minutes Zowie came with an aromatic mouthwatering dinner.

"Hmm! That must be a delicious one wifey!" Akki excitedly said. Setting aside everything, he was really hungry.

"Yup! I made it personally special for you hubby!" Zowie softly smiled and started to spoon some of it to Akki.

"How was it?" She asked as she looked at him closely.

"It's one of a kind! I might get fat if you're going to cook for me like this everyday!" He was complementing her from his heart.

She gave him another mouthful of food which he gladly enjoyed.

'It's not bad to enjoy this moment a little!' Akki thought.

"Hubby?" Zowie casually said.

"Yes, wifey?" Akki looked at her with curious eyes.

"Do you trust me?" She said directly into his eyes.

Akki felt uncomfortable with her sudden question and the way she looked at him but he still answered her.

"Yes of course I trust my wife! How about you, do you trust me?" He also gave her the same look, trying to play along with her mood.

"I want to trust you but I think I should not." She said as she faced the food.

Akki's eyebrows furrowed from confusion.

"Since you trust me, would believe me if I say I have made this food extra special with a touch of poison on it?" She continued as she gave him an intense narrow look. Her aura was like that of a devil while her hand was hardly pushing the spoon against the plate.

Akki got terrified at her. 'Did she already know my identity? My plans? Why did I trust her so easily with my food? You are stupid Akki! She had successfully killed you to free her mother! And she even did not need any gun for you!' His face was totally out of himself.

"Just kidding hubby! Why would I do that?" She sweetly giggled. "Do I have enough reasons to do that hubby?" Her face turned dead serious.

Akki wanted to calm himself after hearing what she said but the last question and how she said it made him anxious. He was horrified by her wife's weird acting. He was still speechless.

"Oh my Gosh hubby! You should have seen yourself! I mean your face was helplessly disarrayed!" Zowie bursted out laughing.

'Did I marry a crazy woman?' He thought in absolute disbelief.

"Hey! Hubby are you okay?" She said while snapping her fingers in front of his face that made Akki got back to himself.

"I didn't know you are a scary joker wifey!" He stretched out his lips for a forced laugh. His face was definitely awkward to watch.

"Finish your dinner now hubby!"

Akki stopped from laughing and a hesitation went all over his face.

"What's with the face hubby?" She softly smiled. " Trust me now, this is really safe. And if this food is poisonous would I do this?"

Zowie ate an amount of food that she prepared and sweetly smiled.

"I'm sorry wifey. I just can't believe you are capable of making jokes. Can I have some?" He tried so hard to give her a calm sweet smile but deep within him he was still conscious of what just happened.

Akki had completely emptied the plate. Then, his awkward mood change as he exhaled a loud burp.

"Sorry, I was not able to control it!" He gave her a teasing apologetic smile. " Thank you wifey. Your cooking is great! But please don't put poison on it!" He was trying to put a joke on it to lighten their mood.

"You're welcome hubby! And don't worry about that because I think you are more deadly than a poison!" Zowie cheerfully responded as she stood up.

Akki was frozen by her words.

Then, she went to the door and locked it.

Akki was taken aback again. "What's that for wifey?" He instantly sounded.

"We'll, I just want some alone time with my husband because he is deadly handsome." She seductively uttered and slowly headed back to him.

His bothered mind from the word "deadly" earlier had made his heart flattered.

"What.. What are you doing wifey?" He stuttered as he had thought what his wife was trying to do.

Zowie moved her face closer to his which made him closed his eyes instantly. He was waiting for her lips to touch his but it didn't arrive. This time, he was the one left hanging on the air by her.

Then, she looked at his cute face with a lot of sadness in her eyes.

"I know you already know who really I am so stop your stupid acting hubby! It's disgusting. And before I could lose my temper on you, get yourself real!"

Her words made Akki's eyes opened wide as he found himself completely caught off guard.
