The Legend of Sleeping Princess

Not Like In Comparison (LPT S2)

At night in the apartment, Niken was watching TV with a cup of milk and two snacks on the table. next to him was Zein who had just kept quiet and never looked at Niken.

Niken himself was confused what was wrong with Zein but the girl did not ask anything and continued to focus on what was in front of him. since there was no talk at all upset Zein himself then let out his voice.

"Don't you want to ask me if I'm okay" Zein said, making Niken look up.

"Are you okay?" asked Niken by chewing on his snacks.

"Ck is too late" Zein said with a sneer.

He was still very upset with the behavior of Niken this morning in the mall that made him very tortured.he was forced to stay in the toilet for 5 minutes just to finish something that made him tormented.

"What's? why are you looking at me like that?" asked Niken with her sharp eyes.

"You said we were a couple but why is it like this" Zein said.

"Yes I have always been like this. I became Zhan's lover like this too. I don't like spoiling on men. With Zhan alone I never have." niken said that made Zein look at him.

"Do you still remember your ex-boyfriend?" ask Zein seriously.

"Yes, of course, I won't forget him because he's a very meaningful person in my life.You know the hardest thing he's always with me. if you knew my world was what I wasn't sure if you'd be like Zhan and be able to do what he did" said Niken, who was still busy eating her snacks.

"Like that yeah, but I'm Zein not Zhan" Zein said then stood up to leave Niken.

Niken who saw Zein leave suddenly just looked at him in confusion, while Zein was currently feeling raging.again like something very pointed that hit his heart.

He stood on the balcony staring at the night sky that looked cloudy.it might soon be raining.and sure enough after 10 minutes he stood there the heavy rain was pouring all over the city of J.

The man did not move at all from there, he put his hand on the raindrop.

"Like the rain that falls with droplets of water droplets so much and like this hand that can only hold a few drops of water even though it is currently raining rapidly. I did everything for her and had hope that she could love me even though I knew she wasn't Niken but I didn't mind that I still loved her but as much as I did something for her it will never be able to open its heart completely to me because she still has someone else." Zein muttered as smiling wryly.

"Why are you here?" asked Niken who was suddenly behind him.

"I just want to see the rain" Zein replied without turning her head.

"Ck is like a child." said Niken.

"Yes sometimes we have to be like children again. Being an adult is not easy.Pain, problems, problems, the burden of the mind is always approaching adults while young children only know to play and play alone.maybe they have a lot of wounds on the hands, but there are many, his legs and face but it's just their physique it's not a wounded heart and mind whereas any adult's problem is always regarding the important organs in his body.especially the heart." zein said which made Niken look at him from the side.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Niken who doesn't understand what Zein said.

"You yourself how? are you gonna stay here? you're a doctor if you're sick it's not funny. Come in. I'll close the window" said Niken, who finally made Zein move in.

Zein did not say anything and went straight into his room while Niken was currently confused by Zein's attitude so he followed the man into his room.

He went in and found Zein struggling with his laptop.he went out and went back in with a cup of warm coffee and snacks.even though Niken was beside him, Zein did not even speak a single word to Niken and it made even more certain that something was going on with Zein

"Zein." call Niken slowly

"Hmmm." replied Zein without turning his head.

"What are you doing?" ask Niken.

"Finished some of my chores. Why haven't you slept?" asked Zein who was still busy with her laptop.

"Are you okay?" ask Niken.

Zein just nodded that makes Niken even more if the man is not okay.

"Are my words making you uncomfortable?" ask Niken again.

"No. You've been sleeping it's late" Zein said.

"No I want you to tell me why you're like this. Are you still mad at me. Well I'm sorry but I didn't mean to make you angry. you were like a man who had lost his mind, too" said Niken.

"No I'm not mad at you. Sleep I'll finish this once" Zein said.

"No, I want you to tell me why you're acting like this to me" Niken said.

"It's up to you" said Zein, who didn't want to talk much anymore.

Niken continued to watch Zein who was busy fiddling with his laptop.he watched carefully every inch of Zein's side face. Zein himself did not care if Niken was there and continued to pay attention to himself he remained focused on his task.

2 Hours later, Zein finished all his work. he was amazed why from the moment not a single voice came out of Niken's mouth then he turned his head and found out that the girl had fallen asleep beside him.

"I told her to go to bed but she was very stubborn" Zein said, bringing Niken's body to her room.

"If only you knew I was so disliked in Appeal-comparison with others let alone that's your ex-lover" Zein said by tidying up Niken's hair and then out.
