EARTH'S POV
I woke up and found myself in the same bed again. I was really tired of walking on streets for days without eating. As I remembered, yesterday that couple went to discuss something private and I couldn't help myself to eat whole soup while they were gone. I was ashamed but was hungry. I was hardly trying to stay awake and wait them to come back so I can leave this house as soon as possible. Actually I was reluctant to leave because there was no place to go for me except that dirty streets. I wished I could take a shower before I leave but it was too much to ask. I must go I said to myself. Looked around and saw that the house was big for two people. I wondered if they had children or not. They were not coming back. Waiting was really hard and then my eyes were closing and my head dropped to the table.
I fix the bed as if nobody slept on it. Leave the bedroom and went to the kitchen. There was no one around. Went to the living room and it was empty. I had no idea where was my phone so I decided to went back to the bedroom and took a shower before anybody come around. There was a bathroom in the bedroom I stayed so I thought I could take a shower without a permission. When I felt the hot water running on me it was heaven. Even if I wore my old clothes on me after the shower I was refreshed. Again I left the room and went to the kitchen and finally found the guy- Arus- in there.
"Hey!" I said it was like a whisper but he heard me. Half turned over his shoulder to look at me. His eyes were honey-brown colored and his eyelashes were really long and thick. His eyes were beautiful but his looks were blank.
"Hey to you!" he said lively. Definitely a morning person I thought. I was not.
"You must be hungry. I was preparing some breakfast but not sure you are awake or not so couldn't ask what do you prefer. You have no choice now you have to eat what I prepared." he said with a genuine smile on his face.
"No problem. I can eat anything you could give me now so don't worry for my preferences." I said. Trying to smile as him but failed. He was not looking at me and busy with eggs. I sat on the chair and waited patiently for something to eat. Anything would be ok before I left this house.
"Just two of you living here?" I asked.
"Yes, just me and Leila. Once we had a dog but none of us was responsible enough to raise him so we gave him to one of our friends. He is happy now. Actually we were very young at that time and it was silly to have a dog even we were not capable to care ourselfs. Maybe if we have him now it would be different for both of us." So he was talkative. Ok.
"Any children?"
"No not yet. But we think we may be ready for a child now. Leila even began to think what would be their name if we had one."
I didn't say anything. Marriage is nothing I can understand in this condition of my life nor experienced before. So I went silent. He continued to what he was doing for breakfast and then front door opened. I heard Leila came back from where she went. When she entered to the kitchen I saw she brought some croissants and breads. She went to Arus and kissed his lips quickly. Arus' eyes were shining as if there were a lot of stars in them. It must be true love which I've never experienced. If Sam loved me by all his heart he couldn't cheat on me. For God's sake he was gay. How come he could cheat on me with a woman? If he ever loved me how come he could let me leave our home without any money or clothes or any belongings of me? He didn't even call me to ask if I am doing good or where I am. Oh God. What should I do now?
ARUS POV
When I finished to prepare the breakfast I put all the food on the table and sat down on a chair just opposite of Earth. And Leila sat down beside me. I turned my face to her and cupped her cheeks in my hands. Kissed her lips for a good morning and smiled while looking her eyes. Her brows pointed the opposite side of the table as if trying to tell me something. I looked at there and saw him. He was sitting as his elbows on the table and his head in his two hand, looking really terrible. It was really hard to be cheated on by someone you love. I couldn't think myself in his shoes. It was really really heart breaking. But anyway, what could I do for him? This was not my problem nor Leila. We don't even know the both parties in this issue. If Leila didn't bring him home yesterday, we would never know even their names. He was not our friend or relative. Not even a neighbor we've hardly seen. He was nobody for us and I did not want any trouble in my peacefull life with my Leila. Yes it was very selfish of me but this was me. While I was thinking all of these she nudged me and I woke up of my thoughts. Looked at her and she was making eyes at me to ask him what's going on with him. As I understood she was not taking any step after the discussion we made yesterday. And put all the weight on my shoulders. If it was me who decide to not help him for a place to stay, It must be me who should have said to him to leave soon. So I needed to start a conversation right now and end it by saying good bye and good luck with your life.
"Are you ok?" I asked. He didn't look up at me. Just shaked his head in the same position. He sighed and leaned back to the chair.
"I am lost. I really don't know what to do. I need to find a job and a place to stay. But I don't know even how to start. He took all of my life energy, my courage to live, my will to start again. I don't even know why I am sitting here and telling all of these to you but I need help. Can you help me?"
I was shocked. I've never expected him to ask for help from us. I was really relieved this morning finally he will leave us for good and felt cheerful. I even prepared a breakfast for him to eat as much as he can and then leave. I was ready to ask him to leave as soon as possible... GOD. What should I do now?
LEILA'S POV
I saw the shock on Arus' face. I've never wished something bother my husband this much but I was ready to help Earth in anything I could do. In the mean time I didn't want to be against Arus on the issue like that so I just went silent and waited for him to talk. He didn't.
I looked at Earth he was waiting for us to say something. There was a big silence in the middle of the table and nobody was eating anything. I need to do something I knew it.
"Why don't we eat something before we figure out what we can do for you?"
Arus turned his head towards me and I saw his eyes were asking 'what the hell are you talking woman?' I smiled at him timidly. His eyes could fire without a bullet if he'd tried.
Oh my God. I really made him upset for a stranger. What should I do now?
