Where are you going

I lie on side in a cozy comforter, bend my knees as far as they will go, close eyes, and drift off to sleep like you're in your mom's arms. When I open my eyes, I see my husband's big face sleeping next to me, and my sleep is instantly gone.

I am happy to have a child and a husband. But there is no such warm love that I received from my mother. My mother listened to me and tried to do what I wanted. But my husband replies 'NO' unconditionally whenever I ask him to do something. I do not ask frequently because I know the nature of my husband. But there is something that couples must do together! Although He can change it to 'YES' if I make a strong protest, I get exhausted in the process and give up.

I took a walk alone on the beach. My husband, who was left behind was getting smaller and invisible. I used to look around for him if I couldn’t see him in my sight, but rather I'm getting feel free and easy. I suddenly felt like my steps were lighter and I wish I would disappear instead of going back to hm.

If I keep going away from him like this, what will happen to me? I heard there are a lot of people suddenly disappearing these days. Can I go until I cannot get back? Or will I walk into the vast ocean and disappear forever? The frightening surge of waves came closer and closer to me.

When I was a young, I was on my way in the evening, and suddenly a man who came from the opposite asked me, 
"Where are you going?” 
He is a complete stranger in the neighborhood. 
"Whatever others go, it’s none of your business.” 
I replied. Then I tried to take a quick step forward, looked back and asked, 
“Do you know me?” 
He said with a worried look 
"Go home early, not late at night.”

I look around want to hear a voice saying, 'Where are you going?' But nobody there. I turned around and took a heavy step to my husband who only shouts 'NO'.
