Chapter 26 - Revenge 25: Loving Attention (1/2)

”Oh, I know! Let's go skating! There's a skating rink upstairs!” Anna was relieved that Nathalia's cheerfulness is back.

After their feast, the five of them went their way to the skating rink. While Nathalia is excited Zen's face is gloomy. Anna noticed it and asked, ”What's with the face Zen?”

Zen opened his mouth and close it, he can't say the reason it will only make him feel embarrassed. He can't say that he's having a stomach ache. He ate too much, he even ate the food that Aaron barely touched. He can only blame himself for being such a pig.

Josh saw the look on Zen's face and since they've known each for a long time its only natural for him to know what's happening to him right now. ”He's in pain.” He plainly said with no concern in his tone.

”Pain?” Aaron asked.

”He ate too much and that's what gets for being greedy.” Nathalia used the same tone that Josh used earlier. Zen felt that these two childhood friends of his just threw him in the dump for being so mean to him.

”Can you both show at least a bit of concern for me?” Zen said while pouting like an abandoned cat in the streets.

Josh and Nathalia didn't respond to him and just continued their way to the skating rink. Them not responding to him makes him feel sad, his friends his closest friends don't care for him now, 'They're so heartless'

Since Anna is a soft-hearted person she asks him in a concerned tone to Zen ”Is there something you want to ease the pain? Like medicine or something?”

At this moment, Zen thought that Anna is an angel sent down from heaven just for him. Even though they've just met she's showing concern for him that his childhood friends didn't show. He felt that the pain in stomach suddenly fades away, ”No. I'm already fine with your angelic presence.”

When Aaron heard this he frowns so did Nathalia. The way they heard it is more like Zen is flirting with Anna. Since Aaron is an overprotective brother he glares at Zen with killing intent, Zen noticed Aaron's glare and got confused. 'What did I do?'

Nathalia just frowned at Zen, 'Since when did this guy learned how to flirt with girls? I thought that he only knows how to flirt with his food.'

For Anna, she took it as a joke it doesn't have any meaning to her other than that he was just saying it in a friendly way. Zen did say it in a friendly term but Aaron and Nathalia have their own opinion in the matter.

When they reached their destination they put on their gears and started to skate around the rink except for Zen who's sitting in the bench groaning in pain. At first, Anna was planning to accompany Zen because he's going to be all alone but Aaron and Nathalia pulled her away from him. Looking at Zen right now she felt pity for him, he really does look like an abandoned kitten in the streets.

”That hurts!” Anna was startled by the sudden complain from Nathalia. She turns her head around and saw that Nathalia is on the floor and Aaron and Josh is just standing beside her as if nothing had happened.
