THE COLDEST SNOW'S

TOO MUCH PLAYING

It didn't take long for Zero to look for Neo's whereabouts. With his ability in the field of IT, he immediately got the position Neo was in. He borrowed a helicopter belonging to the Williams family to go to the City where Neo is located.

Now he stands in front of a cafe that looks very crowded. He entered the cafe, but one of the employees there immediately approached him.

"Sorry, Sir. The cafe is currently on a booking for a birthday. You can come back tomorrow to enjoy our meal tomorrow" the official said.

"Ah No. I don't want to eat. I want to meet someone, he works here."

"Our working hours are until 11, maybe you can wait until we finish work."

"alright. Can I wait there?" tanya Zero pointed at one of the seats.

"Of course, sir. Please."

Zero waited for Neo at a table that was very close to the entrance/exit. He looked around and felt strange with Neo. Why would he throw away his career at the Thomas Company and come to that city just to work like that.

The night, the cafe is getting quieter because the guests who attend the birthday event have been mulanh one by one. Zero was still there and waiting for Neo.

When the time has shown at 11 pm, his eyes are fixed on a door that connects the kitchen with the guest area. He saw the figure of Neo who had just come out of the kitchen, now was looking at him with a shocked look.

"What are you doing here?" neo asked after being close to Zero.

"That's what I want to ask you. What are you doing here?" Zero asked back.

"Work," answered Neo briefly.

"I know you work. Butwhy? Why did you throw away your good career just to work in this city?" Zero had no idea what Neo was thinking.

Neo smiled, "Didn't I ever tell you about a woman who won't apologize to me."

"Then?"

"She eventually apologized to me, but on condition that I should never appear before her again."

"But that's no reason to change jobs let alone move cities" Neo said.

"Yes, that's reason enough for me. My life is calmer now."

"Aren't you thinking about Ms Ani? You haven't given him any news since you've been here. The children of the home miss you too."

"I will always send them money. But, to visit them, I can't yet. Will you replace me for a while?" ask Neo.

"I'll visit them, but I can't do it too often" Zero replied.

"It's okay. I'll call them later."

Zero sees a difference in Neo. Right now the man looked calmer, even though his face looked extremely tired.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back? They need you there."

"But if there's you, it'll be better."

"No. It'll be better here."

Zero doesn't force Neo anymore, at least he knows why Neo is there. Maybe if things get better, Neo will come back.

The New York City sun begins to show its light and light. It's been almost 1 month Alexa and Michael are back there. They also returned to their activities.

"Darling ..," Neo, who was well-dressed and was about to go to the clinic, approached Alexa who was still asleep. Usually his wife will wake up early and prepare her needs, but not this morning.

"You're tired of our last night?" Michael gently stroked Alexa's face and kissed her cheek.

Alexa squirms, seemingly beginning to disturb her sleep with what Michael is doing. Alexa who originally slept sideways, now supine. This makes Michael smile because he will more easily kiss Alexa's lips.

Cupp ...

"Not again, baby. I'm tired" said Alexa, still closing her eyes.

"Yes, I won't bother you. Take a break, I'll go to the clinic."

"To the clinic?" alexa's eyes suddenly opened perfectly, "Why did you go to the clinic so early?"

"It's 9 o'clock, baby."

"Hour 9?!" Alexa surprise. He hasn't been up in a long time. He got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

"You just rest at home, baby," said Michael.

"No, I have a meeting this afternoon."

"All right, I'll be waiting for you. I'll take you to the office."

"Thank you, baby," Alexa poked her head through the crack of the door and smiled.

After delivering Alexa to the office, Michael immediately drove his vehicle to the clinic. His head suddenly felt so painful, that he was forced to pull over his vehicle. His head seemed to throb, then nausea began to appear.

Michael returned to driving his vehicle slowly until he reached a cafe. He went in and bought a cup of warm tea, to relieve his nausea.

After arriving at the clinic, the nausea returned. He went inside and told one of the nurses there not to bother him first.

Inside his practice room, Michael leaned against his chair. He closed his eyes as his head continued to throb. He who felt there was no wrong eating or lack of eating, began to think what caused him like that.

"Are I playing too much?"
