the girl in the photo

They're married for two years.
He likes literature and enjoys writing therefore he often posts his article and essay on web. But no one read them.
He also knows about photography. He even captured their wedding pictures himself.
He loves her very much. So does she.
She is a hot temper and she "bullies" him all the time.
He is very gentle and nice, and never lost patience to her.

Today, she gets angry again.
"Why don't you help my friend? She only claims you to be her wedding photographer and she will pay you."
"I won't be free on that day."
"Won't be free? You just stop writing a few pages of nobody-is-gonna-read-it novel that's it!"
"I have a belief, someday people may appreciate my works."
"Can't you help my friend for me?"
"No, I can't"
The negotiation is failed so she says,
"You must reply to this job in three days or else..."

The first day,
She locks the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator and television.
Only the queen size bed they used to sleep on is free of lock.
Because she doesn't want to go beyond the limit, and of course, she sleeps on that bed too.
He doesn't care about all of this since he still has some money in his pocket.

The second day,
She snatches everything in his pocket an warns him.
"Don't ever think of asking someone to help you."
He is getting to worry.
At the night, on the bed, he asks for forgiveness and begs so that she would stop doing all this to him.
She doesn't give a care about him unless he is willing to accept the job.

The third day,
at the night, on the bed, they both are lying but his is facing to the left and she is facing to the right.
"Let's talk."
"No way unless you deal with with the condition."
"I want to tell you something which is very important."
She keeps quite.
"Let us divorce."
She still remain silence.
"I knew this girl."
She is very pissed and feels like beat him up but after a second, she holds it back. She wants to hear what is he going to say next.
Her eyes are watery.
He takes out a photo from his pocket.
Suddenly, she realizes that she didn't search the shirt that he wearing. She missed it.
"She is beautiful and tender."
Tears slip off her face.
"And she is nice too."
She feels so sad because he keeps the photo of another girl with him all the time.
"She told me that she'll fully support me on my literary works after marry me."
She feels so jealous because she told him the same before.
"She really loves me."
She says in her heart, "So do I."
"So I think she won't force me to do something that I don't like."
She doesn't know what to do.
"Do you want to see this photo? I took it for her."
Then he shows the photo to her.
She is pissed to the max. She slaps him on his face.
He sighed. She vented.
He turns off the light, and sleeps.

She turns on the light, gets up.
He is sleeping, she is awake.
She regrets. She shouldn't treat him so bad. Tears burst out again. She thinks a lot.
She wants to wake him up. She wants to talk with him.
She will not force him anymore.
She stares at his pocket, wondering how does that girl look like.
She takes out the photo.
She feels like crying and smiling at the same time.
It is her in the photo. He took it for her. As he said.
She kisses on his cheek.

He smiles. He didn't sleep either.
