Chapter 474 - Say it (1/2)

Zaki was stunned at Hinari's words. His dazed self was instantly awakened as his nerves somehow wanted to pop again. Well, he didn't expect her to say those words of all things. He was already used to her calling him 'beauty' but her saying the words 'you're so damn beautiful tonight' made Zaki want to flick her forehead hard.

'Why does this girl always love to overthrow my emotions like this? That's supposed to be my line!'

As Zaki was about to flick her, his hand halted midway. His eyes fell on Hinari's and when he saw stars glimmering in them as if she was currently looking at a certain breathtaking galaxy, Zaki's hand slowly fell.

”Beauty, your eyes are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.” She continued as she kept on gazing at him in a daze. It was as if she was lamenting a loving poem while gazing at a galaxy in the sky.

Hearing her, Zaki was again struck hard. He couldn't believe that Hinari was saying the exact words he wanted to say. He couldn't help but think that she could really see through him and was now taking the words out of his mouth. But that was not possible right? Could she be seeing the same thing he saw in her?

Somehow, Zaki was left out speechless. As he looked at how she gazed at him, Zaki could feel just how sincere she was. She was always looking at him like this. She was always looking at him like he was a certain treasure she desperately wanted to keep. While he, all this time, had always been looking at her as if she was a treasure he desperately wanted to protect.

That moment, Zaki's heart was starting to be cloaked with an indescribable feeling. He felt like he wanted to cry. What on earth made him think that this person would eventually give up on him? Why did he think that this person would eventually leave him if he ran away from her?

”Hinari,” Zaki finally uttered her name. He held her hand which was on his face, jolting Hinari out of her daze.

Hinari blinked as she smiled sweetly at the man who called out her name. Her eyes then fell on Zaki's other hand, looking curious about what Zaki was hiding behind him.

Noticing her line of sight, Zaki finally remembered the existence of the flowers behind him. He then took one step back, gazed at her deeply before he reached out his hand.

”Flowers for you.” He then said and surprise immediately registered on Hinari's face. Her eyes widened and she froze for a moment. Seeing the mixture of different colored roses in his hand, a grin slowly crept onto Hinari's face. The corner of her lips then stretched from one side to the other showing him a wide beautiful smile as she accepted the lovely flowers from him.

”Thank you. These are the most beautiful flowers I've ever receieved in my life.” As Hinari said those words, she sniffed the flowers. She looked so happy that her eyes were twinkling with overflowing happiness. She was always smiling every time she received a gift from him but this time, her emotion was completely different. Did she also feel Zaki's deepest feelings right now? Did she feel the most sincere emotions he was trying to convey without him even saying the words?

Zaki was silenced. He just stood there watching Hinari's ecstatic face as she gently looked at and held the flowers in her hands. He was dumbfounded and his brain seemed to be refusing to work.

”Did you pick these flowers for me? I mean you left to get these, huh?” Hinari's voice rang again and Zaki simply nodded.
