Chapter 203 Words of wisdom
Zaki was sleeping on the bed at the corner of Sei’s study room. Well, to him, it was too much of a hassle to go to his own room so he just preferred to sleep there. And besides, this place was the closest towards the couple’s bedroom, making it easier for him if in case something unthinkable happens.
That moment, his sharp as ever senses already felt that someone was coming, causing him to immediately open his eyes. His line of sight fell to the wall clock and its still three AM.
He didn’t move at all. He just covered his eyes with the back of his hand as he waits for the door to open. Of course, the reason was because he knew that it was Sei who’s coming.
The next second, the door opened and Sei entered hastily before he abruptly closed the door again. A scene that caused Zaki to just knit his brows together as he turned towards him. And the scenario that appeared before his eyes that moment just made his sleeping blood fully awakened in an instant. it was because Sei appeared as though he was running away from something. He leaned on the door as he covered his mouth with the back of his hand.
Looking at him like that, Zaki already had a vague idea as to what was going on with the man. He then rose and turned on the light. And the moment he saw Sei’s face, he almost burst out and laugh.
Pfft! What’s with those red ears of yours? Fufu, what happened?
Zaki was grinning as he moved closer to him but when Sei noticed him, he suddenly walked straight to the couch near the large glass window.
Of course, Zaki followed him and he began to speak mischievously as usual.
"Hmm? What’s wrong Sei? Anything that troubling you?" he asked but to his dismay, the man didn’t seem to care about what he was currently saying at all. He even glared seriously at him instead.
Noticing him being so serious, Zaki decided to drop the teasing and just clam his mouth for the mean time.
Sei on the other hand removed his Sei-er mask and afterwards he looked at Zaki with weighty gazes before he opened his mouth.
"Tell me, she’s that girl back then right?" he asked firmly and Zaki just sat on the chair across him before he expressed a nonchalant reply.
"How could you tell that its her? The miss might only playing the same piece that girl played coincidentally." He said and Sei’s face immediately darken with extreme displeasure. Causing Zaki to straightened as he immediately began to speak seriously to save himself from trouble.
"Er... I just wanted to know. I’m not joking, okay?" He said as he sighed but he was about to begin his explanation when Sei suddenly talk.
"I don’t know, I just felt that its her. My heart seems to be the one that recognised her." he said as his eyes started glimmering with intense emotion.
That moment, Zaki almost choked upon hearing his words.
Damn, when did this man learned to easily spout such super cheesy words without getting embarrassed at all?!
Zaki looked at him with wonders and disbelief, that he just wanted to throw a confetti on him. Well, it was because he thought that Sei is finally graduating from being a beginner in romance.
"You, chosing her wasn’t coincidence at all right?" Sei then continued and upon hearing him, Zaki immediately fell serious as well.
"Sei, let me ask you, do you believe in fate?" he asked but Sei didn’t reply.
"Truth is, I didn’t search for her or anything. That time you gave me that contract, I bumped onto her in the middle of the road and I immediately recognized her. Its not planned at all, whether its coincidence or fate, i think its up to you to decide." Zaki continued and silence just followed his words.
For a long while Sei didn’t open his mouth again. He just sat there looking at the darkness outside the glass window as though he was currently meditating deeply about something much more important than his own life.
Until a long time passed and Zaki talked again.
"So? What are you planning to do now?" he asked and Sei’s senses seemed to finally awakened. And the next second, he began to open his mouth without averting his gaze from the glass window.
"I... let’s go buy a ring." he said and once again, lights that never once appeared in those eyes of his before, started glimmering like stars in the dark night.
"Er... now? Let’s atleast wait until dawn! Go back and sleep for now!" Zaki complained and Sei could only fell silence for a while before he finally gave in.
He then took his black mask and started walking away.
However, just as he was about to open the door, he turned back and looked intently at Zaki.
He looked as though he had something he wanted to say. But for some reason, he seemed to be hesitating. Causing Zaki to immediately feel intrigued.
"What is it?" Zaki asked and Sei just raised his hand and he landed it at the back of his neck as if he’s suddenly turned into a shy little boy.
"My body is acting strange, I used to be calm and relaxed while hugging her and watching her sleeping but now... I’m suddenly having a hard time controlling myself." He said and he gazed at the window again as he continued rubbing the back of his neck. Words and gesture that instantly caused Zaki to went 1000% dumbfounded that he couldn’t even reply immediately.
"Tell me, what should I do to calm down?" he continued and Zaki finally exploded. However, like a pro of all the pros on earth, he didn’t show any bit of shock or a trace of mischivousness in his face. He just moved closer to him with his calm and unaffected expression as though the thing Sei asked was nothing but normal.
Zaki then patted Sei’s shoulder like a great grand father that was about to give his grand child words of wisdom.
"Unfortunately, there’s no other way to calm down. The only cure is... just do it all the way with her."
