(Morning of Day)
Zello cooks casually in the kitchen, albeit with slightly sunken eyes due to a night of being unable to sleep.
Not only the heart, Zello's head also throbbed due to lack of sleep. He had to cook himself in a doldrums.
Despite breakfast, Zello decided to cook heavy dishes such as sweet sour meat, and also capcai. Considering they were just eating a few mouthfuls last night.
Zello smiled cynically, laughing inwardly because Veron who was not good at covering up feelings for her. Veron's awkward attitude and carefulness make Zello sure, if Veron is in the wrong position alias can not ignore him, but on the other hand try to keep a distance for them. And reason? Especially if it's not an agreement between Veron and Rossa, which Zello does not understand the contents. But Zello is sure, the passing day of Rossa's identity will be revealed to make Veron dare to accept and reciprocate his feelings.
"Zello" said Veron slowly who followed into the kitchen.
"Hm." Zello sahut flat.
"What can I help you with?"
"none. Sit down!" said Zello coldly.
It felt like Veron wanted to say another word, but Zello's cold tone made him shrink. And reminiscent of Zello's early treatment when they were just getting to know.
'That means Zello agreed to everything, just like I wanted? Thankfully.'
And this was the first time Veron's wish had been granted but there was no sense of happiness in it.
Veron looked at Zello who was still busy with his meat while the vegetables were ready on the table. Almost the completion of the cooking, Veron prepared the dishes and drank them. And ... Their breakfast was like meeting for the first time. Without much chatter, without the spoiled attitude of each other. Which really made Veron swallow his food hard.
"Why? Doesn't it taste good?" ask Zello.
"E-good."
"Hm."
After eating, Zello took his laptop and sat back on the balcony.
On the other hand, Veron who had finished cleaning their eating furniture deliberately observed Zello from inside. Zello looks busy with a laptop that is in the middle of the bench with selonjoran legs. The distance that was not too far away made Veron able to clearly see Zello's handsome face.
Zello's face was relaxed with his work, and before long Zello smiled faintly with a glance at the drizzly-dotted sky clashing with the gentle sunlight.
Long enough Zello looked at the sky with a sweet smile that made Veron guess. "Sunlight as well as drizzle, Zello must have seen the rainbow." Veron muttered happily.
"Here!" Zello's Order.
Veron was slightly jolted with a face that immediately turned embarrassed, as he was caught looking at her.
Veron slowly went to the balcony and obeyed Zello's word to sit next to him.
"Where's the rain?" veron asked, his eyes looking up at the sky looking for what he was suffering from.
"Roof?" Zello smiled amusedly at Veron's words. "I said there was a rainbow?!"
Veron looked at Zello in surprise, "then, what makes you smile?"
"When have you seen me smile?"
"Mm .. earlier, accidentally ...." Veron's pretext while throwing away his gaze.
"Oh .. I just want to show you that." Zello pointed at the sky and focused on the point where the object was hovering in the air.
Veron's forehead is linked to see a kite that Zello is pointing at. "It doesn't make sense."
"What?"
"Who would fly a kite in the middle of a city like this. Moreover, it is still very early in the morning and also drizzle" Veron said.
"Indeed. But, he can prove to people who have underestimated him, for example you. If you hadn't seen any of this, you would have thought all of this was impossible."
"Yes." Yeah." Veron lowered his head for a moment, preoccupied with his thoughts passing by for a moment.
"Like a relationship."
Veron slowly looked at Zello. "Indeed. Relationships are like kites. We can control it or break up. The controller just wants to satisfy his will, not see the situation. How about it rain straight away. Not breaking up, but it'll still go out of sight."
"It looks like you misunderstood, Lie. I'm talking about relationships not fear."
"Ah, I don't know," said Veron quietly and stunned for a moment.
Veron stared again at the kite that was flying quietly in the sky and did not wake up from his seat wanted to move from there.
"Lie." Call Zello to stop Veron's move.
"Why?"
"I'll be out of town tomorrow to review the project."
"How long?" ask Veron.
"Ti-ga moon?!" veron Lirih. Somehow Veron felt a little upset knowing Zello's plan. "You want to review it or be his worker. Long time," muttered Veron.
"You can come if you want."
"I ... want to be here," said Veron quietly. Although his heart cheered for the offer, but how could he say 'follow' while he had decided to create distance.
"I expected it" said Zello, and immediately focused on his work again.
"I'm going to Grandpa's. Do you want to come along? Say goodbye to Grandpa." Advice Veron.
"Mm, I still have a lot of work."
"Huh. I expected it too." Veron smiled sneered. And passed to his room.
***
Hanif Residence.
"So?" ask Hanif. Hanif smiled shadyly as he watched his chess piece.
"Yes, he can't come here, Kek" Veron explained.
"Oh ...."
"Just oh, Cake?"
"Yes, you said Zello was busy. Grandpa understood. Unless you say it's like this 'Zello, it's too much for Kek. Just taking the time to stop can't. Zello thinks only about work. Not thinking about Grandpa's feelings at all'" Hanif said, imitating Veron's speech. Hanif chuckled small.
"The grandfather is so funny" veron grumbled. And looked seriously at Hanif who was still busy with his pa.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.
"But Grandpa didn't think so, did he?"
"Hahaha, just calm down. Grandpa can handle it."
"Look. Zello's busyness proves his sense of responsibility and doesn't want Grandpa's company to have flaws, even if it's just a speck of dust. Zello loved Grandpa so much, that's the truth."
Hanif smiled happily at the words of his granddaughter-in-law. "You know, Lie. Your words have made this old man's soul feel very shady." Hanif let out a rough breath and stared warmly at Veron. "Zello, very proud of you from the past. No matter how busy he is, Grandpa loves him very much. Grandpa was also sure, Zello also loved Grandpa very much. You may feel lonely, but not anymore. Ever since Zello married you" Hanif said.
"Grandfather ...." Veron turned to approach Hanif and leaned on his spoiled arm. "Cake Sure. Because Lilie will continue to accompany Grandpa's days," said Veron enthusiast. But the feeling in her heart raged a little, reminiscent of her status that could not forever be Zello's wife. Will he be able to continue this close to Hanif?
A soft gush was seen on Veron's face, blurting out beautiful words for Hanif to end up making his feelings stuck.
Vibration on Veron's phone diverted her grief for a moment, moreover it turned out to be a call from Zello. Unknowingly Veron's lips covered in a sweet smile.
"Hallo." welcome Veron to Zello's call.
"I want to talk to Grandpa."
"Oh." Veron handed his phone to Hanif. Although not for himself, but at least Veron can hear Zello's voice. Even if it's just a sound, but it can make him blush. Zello said nothing to himself, you freak. Veron cursed at himself, who was inconsistent with his stance on learning to throw away his feelings.
'Three months? Three months should be enough to bury his feelings and mine's'
Veron sighed softly, at the beginning happy to hear Zello's voice. But his heart was inclined to bury his feelings.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry I didn't get to Grandpa's house first." The clear voice of Zello while being heard also by Veron.
"Yes, no problem. Aren't you like this. Now there is Lilie. Let alone three months, three years is no problem for grandfather."
"Hahaha, but it's gonna be really problematic for Zello." Sahut Zello, who was greeted with a meaningful smile from Hanif.
"Yes, grandpa knows. Talk to Lilie!" Said Hanif while handing the flat object over to Veron.
"Hm." Veron flat.
"Please take care of Grandpa for me!"
"I'll take care of Grandpa for myself."
"All right, bye."
Veron closed the call without replying to Zello.
"Are you angry with Zello?" ask Hanif.
"No Cake. Mm ...." Veron bit his lower lip for a moment and smiled faintly at Hanif." I'm just representing Grandpa's feelings." Veron.
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Veron brief. The mood was suddenly ugly. Three months lost contack. And by the time they met, Zello would have forgotten about it, throwing off the taste for her.
'And me, can I forget it?! She was my first love'
