STERILE: My Bottom Is A Zombie

Chapter 22: (STERILE: The Arrogant Men)

Hari itu, sungguh cerah. Bukan hanya karena mentari bersinar dengan begitu gagah, namun karena dia. Bagi Hideo itulah arti Tahta baginya. Si pirang pucat pemberi cahaya sekaligus penghangat hatinya yang sepi penuh kesendirian. Tahta sangat penting, bahkan lebih penting dari hidupnya sendiri. Bila harus berkorban nyawa, Hideo 'kan rela.

Throne of everything to Hideo.

This was the first time Hideo and the Throne had gone both ways without any relation to the military. Hideo thinks they're dating. Therefore, he wanted to make the Throne happy. Hideo has a plan for that. He'll take his girlfriend to a new, fun place. Who knows with the presence of good memories, will foster human feelings so as to accelerate the healing of the Throne.

"Darling," call Hideo to the Throne, but he's not.

Her lover was actually cool to see butterflies flying freely in the City of Lazar. The throne raised its hand to reach the butterfly, but it could not. They flew away and approached as if they were happy to tease him. They fly around the Throne, confining it in a butterfly prison.

The throne does not speak. He just kept quiet with his mouth open. Samar looks the image of a butterfly on his eyeball. The retina of the eye of the Throne has formed a shadow of the object which is then sent by the eye nerve to the brain, then the brain also records all the objects that are seen.

Then the miracle happened. Slowly but surely, the facial muscles of the Throne stretched and tightened, and its blood vessels constricted and produced the facial features that everyone most wanted to see - the Throne smiled.

"You like butterflies?"

This time the Throne answered, though it did not turn its head in the slightest. "Butterfly. Yes ... like."

Hideo who was infected by the happiness of the Throne then pointed towards the garden. "There's more. You can see the full."

"OKAY. Come ... see .. butterfly! Butterflies."

The throne runs with a slight jump. Both hands swung to a cheerful rhythm. His steps are short as usual, so Hideo is trying not to get ahead of his lover.

Hideo follows the Throne. He did not take the slightest look from his lover. The young man only commented on the happy smile while keeping an eye on the Throne so as not to do anything strange. He saw that his lover was very happy to play. It turned out that he was not only interested in butterflies, but also in flowers. He touched it again and again, even squeezing it.

"You don't get ruined!" ban Hideo when the Throne pulls a flower by force.

"Um ... why?"

"The flowers will die."

"Don't .. die .. flowers!"

The throne left the flower and he walked again.

In the middle of the garden there is a pond. The gurgling fountain sounded soft in the ears. The little feet of the Throne ran cheerfully. Arriving by the pool, the Throne remained silent. His head moved to the left to see what creature was swimming in the water? To him is very interesting.

"That's ... what?" appoint Throne.

"Oh, it's a fish" Hideo replied. "Do you like to see it?"

"Um, likes. I-kan. Fish, come here!" Throne down. Without a second thought, he put his hand in. The sound of water ripples makes the fish who are swimming relaxed frightened, but the Throne does not care. "here! Play the same, Tha!" call him, hoping the fish can hear like a human or himself. Instead of approaching, they swim away in fear.

"Hey, Throne, don't catch the fish!" exclaim Hideo. He tried to stop the Throne, but his lover was quite reckless. Not only the hands, but the Throne also put its feet into the water.

"Tha wants .. fish!" as he tried to escape from Hideo's hands.

"Don't just put your feet in!" Hideo restrains the Throne as much as possible, as his lover insists on wet play.

"Tha .. want fish!"

"No way, Throne!"

"Tha .. want a fish, Deo!"

In the midst of Hideo's distress in the face of his lover's actions, a jeep car passed. From the license plate, Hideo has a real whomever it belongs to. Hideo never forgets because the owner always drives the same car every time he comes to the military headquarters. The car belonged to one of his superiors.

However, Hideo did not understand why the black jeep stopped near them? Doesn't the man inside want to go somewhere? Going to a meeting place for example? Doesn't that guy have a lot of fun? But it seems that Hideo's assumption missed, because as soon as the tires rubbing against the asphalt rang, the black car actually stopped in the park. At once Hideo felt there was a bad feeling.

The car door opened and a man came out. His eyes were cold and his face was not smiling at all. After the Throne was secured from the pool, Hideo stood up straight and raised one hand to salute.

"Greetings, General!"

"Hm, greetings. What are you doing here?" general Drake asked calmly but his eyes were fixed on a pale blonde who was hiding behind Hideo's body.

Hideo was a little misbehaved, but he quickly regained control. "I'm taking the Throne to go look around the city."

"Oh, are you guys on a date?" General Drake glanced at the Throne. In an instant he understood who someone beside Hideo was. "Is he the Throne of Lord Altar's son who turned into a zombie?"

General Drake smiled faintly, so that his cynicism was invisible, "I've heard that you're dating him. Aren't you wrong? Making her a lover is like taking your life."

"The throne is not a threat. He'll be cured soon and I don't mind if I have to wait a little longer." Hideo looked at his lover. The throne looks calm, although his hands are a bit squishy in the sweatshirt that Hideo wears.

Drake doesn't seem to understand. He smiled wider. His tone was calm as if everything he said was just ordinary speech. "Are you trying to fool me like the Atlanteans? I don't know why they think that zombies can be cured? They think they can do the impossible. Look at him and see them out there! They're monstrous and lowly creatures. You think a doll-like face is harmless?"

"I'm sure that scientists can heal the Throne and other zombies. It's all about time."

"Haha!" General Drake covered his laughing face. "You're so funny. So far no one has managed to restore zombies to human. Their destiny is only destroyed and destroyed. Don't talk nonsense in front of me, because I won't let this stupidity run rampant."

General Drake is advancing. One of his hands was raised to reach the throne. But there, Hideo protects him. General Drake threw a cold look at Hideo. "Oh, looks like you spoiled her too much. You're a great man, Hideo. You're still young. Anyone you can choose to be your lover, but it's a pity. You'd rather have Mr. Altar's son because of a senseless race."

"With whom I choose to be with-that's my right, General. I chose the Throne is none of your business."

General Drake laughed again. "indeed not. But this city is under my control. So--- I'm gonna watch all the zombies that go to Atlantis. If they start to mess around, then do not blame me if I intervene and mobilize my men to destroy them. That goes for your boyfriend!"

General Drake paused for a moment before continuing, "One more thing----even if you are in the STERIL Mission, but you are also a military man. The military cannot side with any stronghold. I'm still being kind right now, but you have to obey the rules or I'll take your place!"

Hideo felt his chest tightened by the flames of anger. He did not accept General Drake's words just now. Even as the man re-entered the car and his vehicle began to disappear in the distance, General Drake's words still imprint in memory. He felt the need to chase after the general then hit him, but as a subordinate, Hideo still paid respect. Remember that being military is not easy. There was sweat and hard work poured into being the protector of the country as it is today. Hideo is disinclined, because he understands the struggle as a military-between life and death.

"Deos. You ... are you okay?"

Hideo pulled a smile. From the look on his face, Hideo knew the Throne was worried. "I'm doing fine. You don't have to worry." Hideo patted the head of the Throne slowly. "Don't listen to the General's words, yeah. I will always protect you."

"Pulse. Tha believe ... Deo."

"Well, let's go for a walk again."

"Ms." The throne is swinging light steps.

"Do you want to buy fish?" tawar Hideo's.

"Um, will. Tha, like fish!"

"Then-ayo stop by the ornamental fish shop!"

****

Hideo never expected if the Throne could shop so much. After the park, they stopped by some shops. There the Throne designates whatever is favored. Hideo could only nod whenever the Throne asked for something. The teenage zombie did not seem to understand if anything brought from the store had to be exchanged for money.

Several times Hideo's debit card rubbed against the cash register and the young man had no problem at all. Throughout the Throne pleased. Why did his savings last so long?

Hideo isn't the kind of person who spends money like Mark. Although the salary is quite a lot because the rank is promising, Hideo prefers to use as necessary, such as daily needs, electricity, and gasoline. Indeed, for the vehicle he only had one large motorbike that was expensive. Because Hideo's principle is better to buy expensive goods once, but durable and can be used many times. After that, he would let the rest of his money remain stored inside the bank. It could be said that the man's savings were enough to support one more person.

When I got home, Hideo was very troubled. He came home with the Throne's groceries. Hideo put bags of groceries on the chair. The Throne said it wanted fish so Hideo bought some tails to accompany the Throne during its rehabilitation. Not only fish, Hideo also bought a medium-sized round aquarium as a place for the fish later. Hideo carefully picked up and placed the fish in a round aquarium filled with water. The aquarium is placed on the table. With the presence of small colorful animals, the room of the Throne looks alive and more humane.

"Fish .. fish." The throne looks happy. Several times his hand wanted to get into the water, but Hideo did not allow it.

"Don't tear into the aquarium! Later the fish can die," forbid Hideo while opening the fish food bag.

Beside him the Throne cried out, "Tha does not want to .. The fish is dead! Don't die!"

"Yes, if you don't want the fish to die, feed them so they don't starve."

"okay."

The throne took a handful of fish food, then dropped it into the water. The small fish ran after the small floating balls. They are devouring it greedily. Because it was so happy, the Throne fed the fish again and again, to the point that the water was clouded by fish food.

"Don't put all the food in the aquarium! They can't eat it all."

The throne does not feel guilty. He giggled, because for him drunk fish look funny. "Clean ... aquarium, Deo!" The throne ran small towards the bed. A large bear was carried along with him.

Hideo staring at the aquarium, nelangsa. He felt pity seeing the small occupants inside. He felt he had to clean up all this mess before the fish actually died from the Throne. In addition to catching zombies, now Hideo has extra work, especially if not-draining the aquarium.
