Chapter 314 - Still the same (1/2)

Zaki was completely silenced by Sei's words. Sei was focused on his work but he was actually waiting for him to speak about the status of his relationship with his fiancée. However, as usual, no word came out of Zaki's mouth. Sei knew that unlike him, Zaki wasn't the type to speak about his feelings so he's been asking him about it for god knows how many times already for these past years and yet the man still won't say a word.

”Zaki… when will you marry her?” Sei asked as he looked at him and as usual, Zaki just averted his gaze away from him. Knowing Zaki, Sei knew that he really cared for her even though he's not saying anything. Well, this talkative man only goes silent like this when Sei started this particular topic, so just by simply observing him, Sei was sure that Zaki likes that girl more than he thought.

”Zaki, I'm here to listen. You should learn to speak out what you feel.” Sei continued, causing the silent man to finally snap as he began complaining deep within him.

'This man… did he think that everyone is like him who could easily spurt out everything out of his mouth without getting embarrassed at all?!'

Somehow, hearing Sei's words made Zaki remembered the good old days when this used to be frozen log tells him almost every single thing he feels and experience. He even remembered how this used to be painfully clueless and innocent man kept seeking his advice and uttering every single cheesy thing with a straight face. Memories that was causing Zaki to feel like his life back then was indeed a one hell of a fun yet troublesome ride.

Since Davi disappeared, Sei's EQ drastically improved. A huge reason of his change was surely because he was now a father and Zaki can't deny he was glad about it. However, he was being troubled with his constant prodding regarding this matter. The fact that the now matured Sei was turning the table around didn't cease to make Zaki speechless multiple times.

After a long silence, Zaki sighed and he lazily lifted his face as he stared at the ceiling for another long while.

”Sei, I suggest that for now, you should focus yourself first on your own problem. I won't definitely listen to a man who was currently in a huge troubled himself.” Zaki finally replied and Sei froze for a moment. His hand who was tapping nonstop on the keyboard stopped before he straightened and leaned his back on the couch.

”Yo-you're right. I really have to marry her as soon as possible, but after i settle everything, you have to listen to your big brother's advice.” Sei said as he too turned his head and stared at the window, suddenly losing himself in thought again, while Zaki just fell speechless once again.

After a while, Zaki could only clear his throat.

”Anyway, Hinari said that you have to participate in whatever plan she will make.” Zaki said and Sei immediately looked at him with intent gazes.

”What plan?” he curiously asked but Zaki shrugged.

”I don't know yet. She said she'll tell us about it when the time is right.” Zaki answered and Sei leaned back again.

”Tell her to do what she wanted… as long as it will cure Davi... tomorrow, I will also start my plan.” Sei stated and Zaki curiously looked at him.

”Heehh… really? I wonder what kind of plan is it.” He asked, his eyes getting mischievous again.

”So while I'm at it, I suggest that you will also start seriously consider thinking about your own relationship, Zaki.” He said and Zaki again fell silent.
