Magic Key

PART 35 - LOVE STATEMENT ACCEPTED

I'm glad Zaki would be honest with me about his feelings. That means Zian is right, Zaki does like me. For that I have to thank Zian too. Thanks to him, I came to know Zaki's true feelings.

Zaki said he liked me from the first moment we met. Does that include love at first sight? Come to think of it this is funny if indeed Zaki is experiencing love at first sight. I think Zaki must have a lot of girlfriends. Moreover, his friends are definitely better than me. Like office mates for example, they are more educated than me, right?

Ah, I'm so happy that I can't say anything. Because seeing me just shut up Zaki invites me to continue the journey.

Zaki thought I was silent because I was still angry with him, when in fact I was too nervous, so I did not dare to make a sound. Afraid of trouble when I talk.

Drrtts. Drrtts. Drrtts.

Zaki's phone is vibrating. Zaki grabbed his phone with a pocket spell and gave it to me.

"Please pick up the phone." Said Zaki.

I also said, raising an incoming call from Zian.

"Why don't you die anyway, rather than waking up straight away. Don't know who's waiting for people to sleep to take root, know to be left without news." Zian immediately nagged when the phone was connected.

"Gdh..." I laugh. Zian is so funny.

"Hello, Zak. How do you sound like a girl?"

"It's Ayri, Zian."

"Ayri? You're not papa?"

"I'm not papa."

"So Zaki woke up looking for you, I thought you were hibernating like him."

I laughed at Zian's parable.

"Yes I also slept like Zaki, Zi. But now I don't have a papa."

"Thank God that's it. Oh yeah, Zaki where are you picking up the phone?"

I glanced at Zaki. "here. She's driving again so I pick up the phone."

"okay good. You guys go for a walk? I went to your hostel and you weren't there."

I took Zaki's phone away from my ear and pressed the loud speaker button.

"I was taken home by my parents when I was still unconscious, so Zaki followed me to my hometown."

"Huh? It's not good all day to tell that kid."

"I've only been away for a day and you've been in the fog like mom lost her daughter." Zaki replied without bringing his phone closer, he just raised his voice.

"Damn! Because of you I was attacked by many questions from friends Ayri when I was there. He thinks I'm you." Zian's not relaxed.

"Good dong. If they knew you weren't me they'd ask more questions, know maybe they'd ask for your phone number, your id line, your social media."

"Yes too." Zian's reply was brief.

"Seriously you came to the boarding house, Zi?"

"Be serious, Ayri. I'm worried about you guys. But all I see are your chatty friends, I'm dizzy to hear."

"Haha... I know, and I can take a shadow."

"But thank God you're all right. But you're still normal, aren't you guys wandering around the ghost world for long?"

"We're still normal, Zian. We're not going crazy all of a sudden." My reply.

"Haha... Okay-okay. Where are you guys still? Still far?"

"Not too far. We'll be there soon."

"Well, if so, be careful on the road. I'll close it first."

"Yes, thank you."

That way the phone disconnected.

"At that time Zian said he'd find me if you slept again, but it turns out I slept just like you, he must have panicked anyway." I said.

"Yes, definitely. So did your parents. Look at your mom I really can't take you away anymore, but how else, we don't have a choice."

"Yes. I'm really sad, but I hope it's for the best. I don't want to drag them into danger no matter how small."

"May we quickly get a clue so that we can quickly solve all of this."

"Hopefully. I'll also try asking Elsa if I see you."

"Yes. But for now we have to be more careful if we are no longer together."

"Good."

*****

About an hour later, we arrived at our destination. Zaki immediately drove me to the boarding house.

We didn't go down there right away. More precisely Zaki was holding me back from going down.

"I'm troubled because I don't have your phone number, can I have your phone number?" Ask Zaki.

Oh finally Zaki needs other communication tools in addition to the relationship he has always been proud of.

"Why can't you?" My reply.

"It." Zaki gave up his phone. I accepted.

I unlocked the screen and I just found out that Zaki's phone's main screen wallpaper was my picture when we went to the lake. The first time we walked together. I smile at the smile.

After typing my number I returned the phone. Zaki then fiddled with his phone for a while maybe giving my number a name.

"Since when?" I'm random.

"The wallpaper." I'm timid. I looked down not daring to see Zaki or Zaki would see a hue on my cheek.

"Since the day the photo was taken." Said Zaki casually.

Zaki was acting too relaxed, did he not know how nervous I was right now?

Then Zaki touched the top of my head and ruffled my hair slowly.

"Let's get off. I'll take you to your front room." Said Zaki. I'm coming down, and so is Zaki.

"If this night is here like a forest." Chirps Zaki.

"Indeed. Especially if the lights go out, it's creepy."

"imaginedly. Especially here the contents of all girls, must be in a really noisy right tuh."

"Yes that's how." I said as I stepped into my bedroom terrace. I turned around to face Zaki.

"Thank you for everything." I said.

"Yes." Yeah." Zaki smiled warmly, I returned his smile.

"Ay," Call Zaki.

"Yes?"

"On the secret of my rice, what do you think?" Ask Zaki.

"Huh? What opinions?"

Zaki took a step forward and pinched my nose.

"I love you, do you have the same feeling?" Zaki asked slightly lowered his head in order to equalize our faces.

"D-yes." I said nervously.

"Yes what?"

"What did you ask, yes." I'm getting nervous.

"Yes you love me, Ayri?"

Damnit damnit! I was already very nervous but Zaki kept asking the same question many times.

"Yes I love you too, Zaki." I said very fast.

Zaki ruffled my hair again then said very softly. "Thank you for being willing to love me."

I didn't reply. I drowned my face even more because I was already so nervous and embarrassed to mix happily.

"Dad." Call Zaki again.

"What else?"

"So I kissed you and you were angry because we weren't clear. Now we are clear about our relationship. Now I can kiss you?" Zaki said he didn't care about me being so nervous.

Is he crazy? Why should I ask that when before we officially dated he did not ask permission first.

"B-bo-can."

"Can you really?" Again Zaki asked the same thing many times.

"Don't ask again or I'll change piki_"

The cup!

Not until I finish my sentence did Zaki first strike my lips.

Zaki did it so gently that I unconsciously not only enjoyed it but I also returned the kiss without any coercion. I opened my mouth, letting Zaki pop his tongue into my mouth. Sometimes Zaki bites my lips slowly, I don't know why I like it.

My first kiss I did with Zaki. Yeah, my first kiss was with Zaki at the rest area. But the first kiss after we were dating was this moment. I hope I didn't choose the wrong person to take my first kiss.

Really, even though my breath was running out but I was reluctant to let go of our duty. Ah, Zaki's driving me crazy. I was getting washed away in our kiss. Suddenly a voice appeared

Chequek.

We both back away from each other. Shortly after, the door of my room opened.

"God!" Fara and Sasi came out and immediately hugged me very tightly. Luckily Zaki and I moved fast. I hope they didn't see our scene.

I think on a third of a night like this they've been sleeping, not at all expecting them to come out.

"We miss you, Ayri."

"You're all right, right?"

Ah, they must be the ones who worry about me the most among my friends here.

"Thank you for your attention. I'm fine now."

"Thank God."

"Em. If so I go home first." Pamit Zaki's. I don't think he wants to disturb the girls' moment.

"Thank you for bringing Ayri here." Sasi.

"Yes, no problem."

"Well, I'll go home first."

"Be careful."
