Chapter 728: End of idyllic life (2) (1/2)

'What are you thinking about?' The question suddenly enters his ear and he was awoken from his contemplation. He smiles and said

'I thought about that cook who rejected Pandemonium' Sofia smiles grew wider.

'Ah, that man. He is more of a hunter than a cook in my opinion. He is bulky with muscle and he fights like a beast but yet he is a cook' And she laughs a bit before resuming eating.

Azief also scoop a bit of the sambal and mix it with the rice and then slowly eats

When they are eating they did not talk much. Though maybe it is because they have been talking for the last four days.

Since that night he came, he had never left. He was always beside her.

And he knows that his action had aroused Sofia suspicion. Since he did not leave, she also did not leave

She too might have sensed something. But she did not ask him about anything, why he stay and why he did not leave. This question seems to never leave her mouth.

And as such, he did not tell her.

For some reason, like they understand each other, they both skirted some issues.

She probably could feel something is wrong. She probably felt that he is about to do something. But like she did not want to hear it, she skirts around the issue.

So, there is this one gaping emptiness between them.

She seems intent on enjoying the day she had with him. And since she intends to do so, he cooperated.

This past four day seems to expel all kinds of the stress he had accumulated. At times, Azief even wished he could forget about the things he saw.

With each kiss and each laugh, he wanted to forget. And yet, each time when dawn came and he woke up from his sleep, he remembers.

And as such the days goes by and they did not touch this issue. She did not ask, so he would not answer.

It was like nothing is wrong between them. They passed their days very peacefully and happily. He accompanied her from morning to night.

Azief thought she would not like it. But Sofia might have felt that he would leave again and as such, she clings to him

And he clings to her.

When morning came, he would wake her and they would go to the garden and relaxes around there.

It was like the outside world did not exist for them.

All those people fighting and scheming for powers outside Pandemonium did not concern him at all.

When he sees her eyes and that longing in her eyes, his heart could not help but feel ache.

When he is in the garden, she would ask him to read her books.

He would laugh and then he would spoil her. He would pick one book in the large bookshelves in the living room and he would read it to her

She said his voice is soothing and she likes hearing it.

When he reads to her, she would put her head on top of his lap. She would listen and he would tell the story.

At times, she would fall asleep on top of his lap and every time there is a smile on her face when she sleeps.

The more she is like that, the more his heart ache.

In other morning, she would tell him about what had happened for the six years. Sometimes the story is about her. Sometime the story is about the world. Other times it is about Loki and other times it is about Sina.

Six years for Azief seems very short. But when listening to her stories, he felt six years is very long.

And then thinking of her, alone in that house, waiting for him, once again his heart ache. And as his heart ache, he wavers.

In this world, Azief had passed many tribulations. His heart is even stronger than metal. Hi determination could not be compared.

But with one laugh and one smile, his heart waver. That is how big of an effect Sofia had on him.

When he saw her smile, he did not want that smile to disappear.
