The more things were connecting with each other, the less sense they made.

First of February, the child was born .

Bliss sat in the delivery room. Mia holding the baby in bed with her, feeling the presence of Blue by him.

Saiph entered carrying flowers in his hand.

Blue's parents greeted him, then he moved to Mia, peeking at the baby. The small infant was resting in Mia's arms.

" what's his name ?" he asked.

" Daniel " Bliss said at the top of her voice.

Saiph placed the flowers on the table, ignoring Bliss.

Bliss held the child from Mia into her arms and cradled him.

Saiph knew what she wanted to indicate.

" you are not even holding him right " he replied to her looks.

" oh!  So now you'll tell me about holding a baby ?" she said angrily.

" if you are doing it wrongly then ..yes!"

" sorry Saiph, but you can't control everything. Now can you? "

" cut this out . Give him to me " he moved to grab the child.

" what are you doing? " Mia said.

" yes!  That's exactly what I wanna know "  Bliss stared him.

" at least hold his head up " he backed away.

" cover his feet,  he'll catch cold " Mia instructed Bliss.

" you know you give that warm milk with raw egg in it to newborns " Saiph told Mia.

" like we cook egg in milk or.. "

" no, no , you just put the..

" you shake it then in warm.. "

Blue's mom and Saiph together explained it to Mia.

" you know a lot .huh " Bliss rolled her eyes.

" every one knows that, huh " he mocked her.

" I didn't " Mia supported Bliss.

" well now you know, right? So I prove my point " he joked.

Bliss made a new theory in her mind. Maybe his mother remarried with his abusive step-father, and also had a child.

So Damien could be his half brother, who somehow feels negative about Saiph which is not unusual. She thought

she will confront Saiph about it, and he will get mad. But she will.

                      **********

Seventh Feb, on the weekend, she decided to check the authenticity of her idea.

She walked through the empty living room, and opened the door of his bedroom.

The door made a cracking sound that echoed in the deep silence.

It was the first time she entered his bedroom.

It was huge. In the middle of the long room was a big ,full wall length window . On one side of the large window was the seating arrangement, and on the other side was his bed ,both regions dark and only the middle of room was illuminated by the light from the window.

She delicately ran fingers over the switchboard and dropped two of them.

Mild yellow light on the lit the room, making her dizzy.

He entered from a door on the other side of room.

" Saiph " she called him.

He took steps toward her.

" yes! " he was looking very happy and was smiling uncontrollably .he was smelling like candy scented bath gel.

Without waiting for a reply he kissed her, but without being able to control his smile in the kiss.

" Aiden " she whispered between his lips .

He lifted her up and thrashed against the wall .

It was unusual of him to act wildly like this.

" Saiph listen " she freed her lips.

" yeah,  say " his seducing breath was dreamy enough to make one forget about oneself.

His chest was moving along his breaths, with a beautiful rhythm.

" I want to talk about something " she hesitated.

He kept looking at her so she proceed with her words,  but she remained silent.

" what? " he said with ripple of laughter.

She thought she was gonna ruin his happiness,  so she paused to think if she should really say it.

She kissed him in sympathy of what she was about to do. The two times they kissed before, she hardly even kissed back. But now she became rough. She bit his sensitive lips , tightly grabbed his hair at the back of his head and he just stood there,  holding her up and letting her do whatever she wanted.

" I want to know about " she stopped and looked at him " your brother "

He put his head on her shoulder.

She tightened her grip around him, and closed her legs tightly around his waist.

" Saiph ?" she said when he didn't reply.

He loosened his grip to let her down, as she thought he would.

" let go " he said very quietly.

" not until you tell me "

He put his hands on her thighs to push them down from him.

" you'll fall, let go " he said, this time clearly.

" just one little thing . Who is he? " she asked.

" you are hurting me " he whispered.

" why don't you just tell me? "

" Bliss please let go. " he said in pain.

" what the hell is so wrong with you? "

" you are hurting me " he screamed in agony. Then she realized his hand is reaching to free his waist, probably the side that had the cuts she felt.

She immediately released him.

He sighed loudly in relief from the pain.

He pulled her away from her waist and after recovering from the pain,  stepped away. Perhaps to leave.

She stopped him by his arm " listen..

. He put his hand on her chest and thrashed her against the wall ,

" no you listen , it's the last time you did this. I swear to God, if you ever said things like these again, we will be on our separate ways. "

" so you don't care about me? "

He softly held her cheeks ," you make me feel the same way by doing this "
