Don't Want to Split

Chapter 10 - Never Give Up On You

"With or without your permission, I'll get out of this place. Tomorrow!" zefanya said full of determination.

Ezra stood in place, his face darkened and suddenly looked older. He was silent without saying a word for a while.

"You don't remember everything, Zie." said Ezra.

"I knew. But Dr. Sandra said there's likely to be some part of my memory that's completely gone. Do you really want me to stay here forever?" zefanya urged despair. It seemed like his fate was in the hands of this man. Zefanya's shoulders decayed, her spirit disappeared.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you by suddenly running away from you. All right, it's up to you. If you want to avenge my crimes by refusing a divorce and keeping me here forever." Zefanya resigned. He turned around, better get himself into the bedroom. Just let Ezra be there. Maybe then Ezra will hate and divorce her.

Ezra gaped, his body shaking violently holding back anger as well as being disappointed. His lips were tightly clenched to resemble a single thin line. "Am I that cool in your eyes? So you think I'm so desperate to excommunicate you just for revenge?" cecar Ezra's. His voice is poignant. Some time ago he mourned so deeply because Zefanya had an accident and now his heart must be injured because of the request of the woman he loved.

Divorced?

Things that never existed in the dictionary of his life. For her, married only once and for all. And if not with Zephaniah, then he won't be with any woman.

Now it was Zefanya's turn to be stunned. He saw for himself how broken the heart of the husband he loved was. The wave of regret hitting Zefanya was so great. But he stepped up. Stopping here is like repeating from the beginning.

Nah! Zefanya could not bear to repeat this pain. Hurting Ezra is like hurting himself.

"Sorry, Ezra. I'm just an emotion because I can't stand being cooped up here. I want to go back to see the outside world. Ii'm sorry. You shouldn't get this treatment from me. I know what I'm doing is unforgivable, but goodbye is best."

Ezra did not respond. His eyes squinted continuously at Zefanya who was starting to fidget. He didn't dare to look back at Ezra. The man was trying to find the lie within him.

"Did your escape have anything to do with Ethan? If it had something to do with my sister, I could make sure she would never be around you." said Ezra still with a full glance.

Zefanya hunted - hurriedly shook her head strongly - strongly.

"No! Wasn't it! This has nothing to do with Ethan." Zefanya replied quickly. He doesn't want Ezra and Ethan to make a fuss just because of Ezra's baseless allegations about his own sister.

Ethan pursued Zefanya when she was in school at Queen Mary University of London. Knowing that Zefanya is interested in her brother, Ethan's self-esteem seems to be scratched. One day at a Zefanya's friend's birthday party, Ethan meddles in something on her drink. Fortunately, Ezra picks her up early and sees Zefanya's 'strange giggles' on Ethan.

At that moment Ezra rebuked Ethan loudly and beat up his bratty brother. And after that, Ethan really did not dare to bother Zefanya anymore.

With that incident, Ezra's level of vigilance grew higher. She, who is eight years older than Zefanya, keeps an eye on her by taking her daily from campus and taking her to her office.

In the workspace Ezra there is a small room that deliberately in a bedroom-like design, where Zefanya can rest and wait for Ezra until the office hours are completed

"I have to do it before I take you home." Ezra said every time they arrived the company.

And when Ezra pulls out the laptop, Zefanya will frown. Then Ezra approached and kissed her forehead as he had - already.

"I'll take you to your favorite place to eat or accompany you to do whatever you want. But after all my work is done. Okay?" persuade Ezra patiently.

"Hm-hm." Ezra nodded and this time kissed Zefanya's cheeks right and left. Then rubbed his head gently and started turning on his laptop.

"I do love you, Ma Moitie." Ezra said feelingly as she was about to start her work.

"I love you more, Ez." Zephanya's reply won't lose.

"You can do whatever you want while waiting for me. You can watch, use the internet as you please, sleep or even jump - jump in bed." Ezra's eyes glanced mischievously as he uttered the last kalimay.

Zephaniah pinched Ezra's sturdy arm. "Hey, you think I'm a kid?" zefanya Protest.

Ezra laughed loudly. "Look at your face every time you pout. It's no different than Jemima." said Ezra, naming one of Zefanya's nieces.

Zefanya. "Stop teasing me and work. I want to have a good meal tonight."

One film was watched by Zefanya, but Ezra. still struggling with a laptop and tablet in front of him. Zefanya picked up another movie on her netflix channel. Tired of the same position, Zefanya moved to Ezra's resting room where she watched while lying down.

I don't know how long Zefanya had been lying when she heard her name called. The first thing he saw was Ezra's face.

"Hey, finally wake up too." Ezra said as he stroked Zefanya's cheek. "I'm done and ready to take you anywhere. Wash your face and we're off."

Zefanya smiled shyly, she received Ezra's helping hand that helped her get out of bed. Zefanya's eyes still felt heavy, but she still obeyed him.

Seeing the traces of saliva on Ezra's bedsheet, Zefanya groaned. Really - really embarrassing.

"It's okay" said Ezra in a patient tone and then pecked at Zefanya's head.

Zefanya's face flushed and ran to the bathroom. There are always available all the equipment belonging to Zefanya. Starting from toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, hair conditioner, bath soap, even including skincare with a brand that is always used by Zefanya. Ezra paid attention to his needs to such a detail.

The long silence that was created between them made Zephaniah recall the goodness of Ezra. His heart screamed whenever he remembered how the man had so spoiled him. If only their love was not forbidden. Zefanya must have embraced her husband and asked to go home with Ezra.

Meanwhile, from the look on his face Ezra seemed to be thinking of something. Silence - silent he studied one sentence after another sentence Zefanya said. Looking for loopholes and possibilities he could find. He knew Zefanya from childhood and watched her grow up and married her.

'What escaped my attention until Zefanya chose to divorce?' ezra continued to rebel.

The sound of Ezra exhaling resounded in the living room of Zefanya's silent room

"I'll take care of the hospital administration tonight. You're going to be out of the hospital tomorrow."

Initially Zefanya's heart surged happily, her face looked relieved. Unfortunately, the pretty smile instantly faded upon hearing Ezra's continuation.

"But there is one condition that you must fulfill, if you really want to get out of here" said Ezra coldly.
