"Don't rush me! I don't like being rushed.""Is it because you dislike rushing activities, or does it depend on who is rushing you?""Both.""Zev, can't we talk calmly?" Zero asked with a hopeful gaze."I have to go back tonight," Zero added."Go back where?""You know the answer, dear," Zero replied, gently stroking Zeva's cheek with his thumb.Yes, Zero was right. Zeva already knew that Zero would go back to Indonesia. However, Zeva still asked because she was grappling with her own thoughts and her small heart. Zeva's heart was not ready to accept the fact that she and Zero would have to do long-distance again."That's why, dear, instead of wasting our time arguing like this, let's spend our remaining time together as much as possible," Zero persuaded."Aren't you angry?""Angry about what?" Zero asked back."You know what I mean.""No.""Are you really not angry?" Zeva asked again, as if uncertain about Zero's answer."I said 'no' to respond to your statement 'you know what I mean
One Minus One 38 - Start from Zero
"Absolutely not. Starting today, I don't want to take you to the airport anymore." "Oh, why are you being so cruel? Come on, dear. It's still a few more hours we can spend together." Zero still tried to persuade Zeva. "I've never wanted to take anyone to the airport. I didn't even want to escort Sis Runa and Bro Gamma. It's just because of you that my feet touch the airport again after so long. Ironically, you are the one being cruel to me by forcing me to do something I dislike." "But why don't you like taking me to the airport?" "Ugh... can't you really pay attention to what I'm saying? It's not just you, but everyone, anyone." "Okay, okay, sorry. So, what's the reason?" Zero was still curious about why Zeva was so against the airport. "See, you don't know anything about me," Zeva responded with her biting words. Hearing Zeva's sarcasm, Zero immediately moved to hold both of Zeva's hands and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. And, with an intense gaze softene
One Minus One 39 - Don't play around with serious matters
"If you want trouble, don't involve me." Zeva's call successfully stopped Zero in his tracks. "Who's trying to get you into trouble, Dear? We just need to hurry." "We? If you still remember 'we', you shouldn't be pulling me like this." "Dear, sorry, I didn't mean to pull you. I need to check on Liora urgently. There's no time to walk casually. I'm really worried about her." "I understand your worry. Even... I don't mind that you didn't ask whether I'm willing to come or not. But... wherever we're going, we should prioritize being careful. Rushing might not get us there safely, let alone quickly." Not without reason did Zeva reprimand Zero like that. It's because, twice already, they had come close to being hit by cars and bicycles. More precisely, it was Zero who almost got hit because his position was right beside the passing riders. Zeva was surprised as to why Zero seemed to be so indifferent to his own safety. "Dear, sorry for not asking first. Because I really want you to
One Minus One 40 - Zero Hour
"You just finished getting dental veneers?" "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that?" The confusion was evident on Zero's forehead in response to Zeva's question. "Because it's unusual for you to immediately show off your teeth like that." "Unusual? How am I usually then?" Zero felt that the expression he showed was not something rare. "Usually, you flaunt your pillow face. Always sleepy." "Oh, hehe. It's called hard work like a horse, Dear. I have to stay up late." "Working so hard that you forget to sleep, and what do you hope for in the end? Early aging?" Zeva pointed out. "Well, not like that, Dear. I work hard like this for you, you know." "For me? Have I ever asked you to provide for me? No, I've never asked for anything from you," Zeva said, refusing to accept Zero's statement. "Well, not really, Dear. But... I work hard to prepare to provide for you in the future." "You want to turn me into a substitute for a nursing home?" "Well, what's the connection with a nursing

"Wah, this couple needs more briefing," Zeva commented after seeing the photo results on her camera. Zeva approached her clients. "Finished, Zev?" the male client asked when Zeva was in front of him. "We need to talk," Zeva said. "Okay, let's go!" responded the male client. "Where to? Let's talk here to save time," Zeva replied. "Oh, okay. Rin, you just rest there, alright?" the male client instructed his partner, pointing to one of the park benches about 18 meters away from where they stood. "Rin? Why suddenly call me by my name?" the girl questioned. "Well, your name is Ririn. Nothing wrong with that," the guy replied. "Well, it's not wrong. But usually, you call me 'Beib,'" Ririn said. "Why, though? It's such a trivial matter to fuss about," the guy remarked. "For you, maybe it's trivial. Fine, from now on, I'll call you by your name," Ririn replied. "Okay, Rama. You just continue with your business. I'm going back to the hotel," Ririn continued and immediately left. "W
One Minus One 1 - Is it wrong, if I use my heart for anything?
Zeva was propping her chin on her desk while twirling a small letter in the shape of a maple leaf with a stem in her hand. Here are the contents of the letter."Good morning, my photographer. I have to say goodbye. Starting now, your job is only to take care of your heart for me alone. Take a cue from a maple leaf of its loyalty! See you soon!Your Future,Zero"The small letter was originally just a sticky note. However, now the small letter has been laminated with a maple leaf as the background.Why did Zeva keep it like that? Because the little letter was a relic from someone who could now be said to be someone special in her heart, just like a maple leaf. Yes, Zeva happens to be a maple leaf lover.Who would have thought, that special someone was a man who had just met her face-to-face once? Even though it was only the first time, their first meeting immediately became an unforgettable and memorable moment for Zeva.The reason is, they immediately spent the whole day together and
One Minus One 2 - A Glimpse of Tight Hugs
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 yo
One Minus One 3 - Sudden Surprise
"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
