As if he heard someone say his name and realized someone was watching, Zero turned his gaze toward the entrance. As soon as he saw that there was a figure of Zeva staring at him, Zero immediately froze and said, "Zeva."
Instead of approaching Zero, Zeva turned around and rushed out of the cafe. This made Zero immediately get up from his seat and rush after Zeva.
"Zeva," said Zero, as soon as he grabbed Zeva's wrist, which made Zeva stop in her tracks.
"Hey, look at me," asked Zero gently while holding Zeva's chin because Zeva had been looking down as if she didn't want to look at Zero.
Once Zeva had looked at him, Zero continued to say, "Why are you running from me?"
"I should be the one asking you, why are you here?" Zeva asked back, with a breath that was still a little rushed from walking half a run.
Zero was silent for a moment. Then, Zero even smiled, which made Zeva frown.
"Why are you even smiling?" said Zeva in a curt tone.
"Don't you want to hug me before you shoot me with your questions?" said Zero.
This time it was Zeva's turn to be silent.
"Don't you miss me?" Zero asked again.
Then, Zero spread his arms, intending to give Zeva a code to hug him. However, because there was no movement from Zeva, Zero finally decided to pull Zeva into his arms.
"You don't want to hug me back, do you? Even though I hope that when we first meet again, you hug me right away, you know, instead of running away like before," said Zero, commenting on Zeva not hugging him back.
Zero hopes that at least Zeva puts her arm around his waist, so it doesn't feel like a one-sided hug.
"Okay, looks like you don't miss me. I'll just go back to the cafe, then," said Zero, as he was about to let go of his embrace on Zeva.
However, before Zero actually let go, Zeva suddenly wrapped her arms around Zero's waist. Zeva hugged Zero tightly.
Getting such treatment, made Zero startled. Then, not long after, Zero's lips immediately drew a smile and Zero also tightened his embrace again. Zeva, who buried her face in Zero's chest, enjoyed Zero's signature scent.
Meanwhile, Zero stroked Zeva's hair while enjoying the scent of her hair. They share their feelings for each other.
Then, suddenly someone interrupted their activities, "Zero."
Hearing the call, immediately Zero and Zeva compactly direct their eyes to the source of the sound. As soon as he saw who was calling him, Zero immediately let go of his embrace of Zeva and approached the caller.
"Liora, are you alright?" said Zero, who looked worried about Liora's condition.
Seeing Liora who looked like she was running out of breath, Zero immediately realized that Liora could be like that because of chasing after him. Indeed, as soon as he saw Zeva rushing out of the cafe, Zero immediately rushed after Zeva, until he forgot to say goodbye for a moment to Liora who was sitting in front of him.
"You're really bad, just leave me alone like that." Liora looked like she was about to cry.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to leave you. I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to say goodbye to you. This is also the plan, I want to go back to the cafe to pick you up, really, " explained Zero.
"So, what makes you in a hurry? And who is that girl? Why did you hug that girl?" Liora's point of view was aimed at Zeva who was still faithfully standing at the point where she and Zero hugged earlier.
Zero also followed Liora's gaze. So worried about Liora, Zero forgot to introduce Zeva to Liora.
Then, Zero returned to Zeva.
"Come on, I want to introduce you to Liora." Zero immediately grabbed Zeva's wrist and led Zeva toward Liora.
Actually, Zeva wanted to refuse Zero's invitation, but Zeva tried suggesting that she act normal. So, Zeva just followed Zero's lead.
"Liora, this is Zeva. And Zeva, you know this is Liora." Zero introduced them to each other.
After trying to lower her ego, Zeva stretched out her hand intending to shake hands with Liora.
Instead of replying to Zeva's handshake, Liora said, "Don't tell me you're Zeva that Sky often talks about."
Finally, the sentence came out of Liora's mouth. Actually, even without being introduced by Zero, Zeva already knew that the one in front of her now was Liora. Liora was also one of the reasons why Zeva had left the cafe instead of approaching Zero.
Even though Zeva said that she had made peace with Sky, Zeva still wasn't ready to meet Sky or Liora. After all, it was the two of them who made Zeva know and feel how it feels to be heartbroken.
Previously Zeva thought that what Zero said about Zero could be of interest to Zeva because he often heard about Zeva from Sky stories, and that was only part of Zero's swarm.
This was what Zero said exactly two months ago, on the day they spent the day together, "I've been interested in you since Sky likes to talk about you. I like you. No reason. Just like you love maple leaves. In my eyes, you and maple leaf are the same. Equally simple, but charming."
After just hearing that Liora immediately guessed who Zeva was also from the Sky story, Zeva became curious. Zeva was curious about what Sky had to say about her. Is she the protagonist or antagonist in the Sky story? Or was she even a supporting character or even a cameo?
Zeva guessed that she was the antagonist in the Sky story. Isn't everyone always an antagonist in someone else's story? But, in that case, why did Zero even claim to like her because he listened to Sky's story?
Then, what is right for Sky to make Zeva a character in his story?
Regarding Zero being able to get to know Sky, on the day they spent the whole day together, Zero admitted that he knew Zeva's problem with Sky. It turns out that Sky is Zero's classmate and close friend during high school and Liora is Zero's sister.
So basically Zero's real intention was not to use Zeva's services as his photographer during the holidays, but Zero really wanted to get close to Zeva. Of course, at first, Zeva felt Zero wanted to play with her. Zeva suspected that Zero approached her because Zero felt sorry for her because his friend and his sister had broken Zeva's heart.
However, on that day Zero immediately corrected Zeva's misunderstanding with him. Because Zeva could see that there was no lie in Zero's eyes, Zeva finally believed that Zero was sincere with her.
And to this day, Zeva's trust in Zero is still completely intact. If there is no sense of trust, how could Zeva fall in love with Zero? Shouldn't a relationship be based on trust? Yes, although, it is not yet clear what relationship Zero and Zeva are in.
Because her hand never got a handshake from Liora, finally Zeva slowly lowered her hand again. Zero had been anxiously worried about the awkward and tense situation that had been created.
However, a few seconds later Zeva even smiled and said, "Yes, I am Zeva, Sky's childhood friend."
"So now you're alone here?" Zero asked Zeva when he arrived in front of Zeva's house.Yes, because it was late, finally Zero took Zeva home. Earlier, Zero asked Zeva to come with him to accompany Liora shopping and sightseeing, because tomorrow they would immediately return to their homeland, Indonesia.Zeva just found out that Zero has been here for three days. The reason Zero didn't tell Zeva that he was here was because of Liora's tight control schedule. So, the main purpose of Zero's return to this time was to accompany Liora for treatment, not to meet Zeva.Realizing that there was no time to meet Zeva, Zero decided not to tell Zeva that he was there. Besides that, Zero also actually planned to surprise Zeva today, because today Liora's control schedule was over. However, in fact, Zero and Zeva both get a surprise meeting naturally, and unexpectedly.During the walk, Liora also often asked Zeva to take pictures of her in spots with views that she thought were good. Liora's attit
Inevitably, as if to represent the meaning of the exclamation, Zeva was really surprised. Moreover, seeing who the figure standing in front of her was now. "Zero," said Zeva. Yes, the person who gave the surprise was Zero. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me first?" point Zeva, having managed to control her shock. "It's the rules of giving a surprise. No one wants to give a surprise but tell the target beforehand," said Zero. "Surprise for what? It's not my birthday anymore," said Zeva, who still didn't understand the surprise Zero meant. "Is it true that a surprise should only be addressed to the person who is having a birthday? No, right? If we really want to give a surprise, then we can give it anytime. Especially, for the one who we love," said Zero. "So, where's the surprise?" Zeva asked again."How could you still ask where it is? It's obvious the surprise is right in front of your eyes. I'm the surprise," replied Zero. "Oh, you mean that you are the surpris
Zeva is working with her camera looking at her shots while traveling with Zero and Liora. Of course, there are no photos of herself because Zeva is the photographer. Yeah, that's her consequence of being a photographer. When she gathers or meets people who know her profession, she will always be the target for asking for help to take pictures for them. It's as if her job desk to take pictures is always attached to a photographer, even if she's not on her working time. So there's no need to be surprised why Zeva's photo collection is so minimal. Yeah, once she asked someone else to take a photo of herself, the results did not match Zeva's expectations. In the end, she's too lazy to ask for help to take another photo. Zeva has been pressing the next camera button so far, so that photo by photo appears alternately on the camera screen. Then, Zeva realized that there were more Liora photos with Zero than Liora's photos alone. Maybe for people who don't know that Zero and Liora are
A faint voice sounded so soft but able to disturb Zeva in her sleep."Hey, honey. Get up, come on. It's morning here."Zeva slowly opened her eyes. Zeva was still half awake, she was confused about whether she was still in a dream or in the real world. The reason is, the voice is the same as the voice in the dream earlier. Zeva only realized that it wasn't a dream after seeing her cell phone lying on her right and the soft voice sounded again, "Zeva."Now Zeva is fully aware that the voice is real, not just in her dreams. Yes, the sound comes from her cell phone. And it was Zero's voice. Last night Zeva silenced Zero when Zero informed her that he could not immediately fly to Canada to meet Zeva according to Zeva's request. The reason is, there are still many things that Zero has to take care of in Indonesia, especially since he just returned from Canada two days ago. This is what Zero said last night, responding to Zeva's request, "Zeva, it's not that I don't want to comply with y
"Why are you suddenly here?" Zeva was confused by the presence of Sky who had suddenly sat in the same seat as her. "We've made an appointment. I'm not late, am I?" replied Sky. "Hah? Do not tell …." Because felt so unexpected, Zeva did not finish her sentence. "Don't say what?" asked Sky. "Don't tell me you haven't saved my number?" continued Sky, who even asked back. Getting a question like that, made Zeva speechless. Now Zeva just realized why she felt familiar with this client's phone number. How is it not familiar, in the past, the phone number was already outside Zeva's head? In fact, Zeva made his number the number one emergency call number. "Oh, so you really haven't saved my number. I'm already happy though, you know, you've unblocked my number," said Sky, who took Zeva's silence as an answer that his guess was correct. Yeah, indeed on the day Sky told Zeva that he was going to propose to someone else's daughter, Zeva was angry with Sky. Zeva was angry because all thi
Zeva was still staring at Sky sharply with her hands clenched into fists. However, Sky couldn't see Zeva's fist because it was covered by Zeva's long outer arm. Even so, Sky could still feel that Zeva was very upset with him from the glint in Zeva's eyes. "Arghh," growled Zeva, then immediately turned right and walked towards the bike tour area. Sky was finally able to expand his smile freely. "It turns out that you are still the Zeva I know Zev, hasn't changed," thought Sky in his mind as he continued to watch Zeva who continued to walk from behind. Then, Sky also stepped foot to follow Zeva. "Why are you following me? Go there, don't bother me. I want to work quietly," Zeva grumbled to Sky when she realized that Sky was walking next to her. "Who wants to bother you? I am a client who uses your services. Yeah, of course, I'm following you to monitor. Aren't clients supposed to always follow you when you're taking pictures?" replied Sky. "Shouldn't you be in the frame?" Ze
Zeva's happy expression instantly disappeared. Now Zeva showed her flat expression to Sky. At first, Zeva felt that she could get used to Sky, but because the tone and volume of Sky's voice just now sounded unfriendly and rose in Zeva's ears, Zeva's annoyance at Sky reappeared. "Who's that, Zev?" Zero's voice asked on the other end of the phone. "Zer, sorry, I have to hang up our call. I am at work right now. Please you just continue sleeping if you're still sleepy," said Zeva in response to Zero, then immediately disconnected the phone unilaterally, without waiting for a response from Zero."I know you pay for my services, it's not for free. But… don't you know how to be ethical in reprimanding others?" said Zeva while staring at Sky."Even if you don't want to wait for me to finish the call, you can at least excuse me first, then you reprimand, instead of being outspoken by raising your voice like that to me," continued Zeva, then immediately turned right and continued her steps
When Zeva's finger was typing letter by letter on her cell phone keypad, suddenly Zero's profile photo appeared on her cell phone screen accompanied by a ringing tone. This made Zeva instantly freeze. The reason is, this time it's not just an ordinary incoming call notification from Zero, but a video call notification. Yeah, this is the exclusive video call from Zero to Zeva. Zeva's nervousness this time also increased compared to getting the first regular incoming call notification from Zero at that time. "Huaaa, why did he suddenly make a video call like this, anyway? I'm really shabby, I'm already wearing pajamas to sleep like this." Zeva panicked with her appearance. Zeva hasn't commented on her own appearance in a long time. Usually, when video calls with Runa and Gamma, Zeva doesn't take care of her appearance. Even if she hasn't showered or just woken up, she has immediately accepted the video call. In fact, in the past, it was the same when Zeva used to do video calls wi
