Chapter 136 - No Doubt in Love, 100%
"I"m… In… love?" he uttered, but in the next second, he slowly looked as though he was trying to decipher a thousand year old Egyptian code that still no one could answer.
"Okay, I"ll ask you a series of questions to help you sort it out. First, do you often find yourself suddenly attempting or doing things that you"re not even interested in before, because of her?" the man asked and Sei began to recollect every memory in his head in such perfect details. As though he was rewinding a movie in his head without missing a single scene.
All the first times he experienced because of her and while he was with her appeared like series of beautiful and precious photos one after another. And he knew that he didn"t even need to a.s.sess them anymore because his answer to the man"s question was no doubt a solid "yes".
"Next, do you often feel anxious or tense whenever there"s something wrong or when she makes moves on you or in every little thing she does?"
"Absolutely yes, even with single touch of her, this man becomes frozen and stunned every time that I can"t even count how many times its already happened. And anxious? My G.o.d. Did you know we took an immediate flight back here from the other side of the world just because his wife was upset and just because of a single call saying "I miss you"?" Zaki was the one who shamelessly answered the psychiatrist"s question. However, his words were actually the exact things that were currently inside Sei"s brain, as though the talkative Zaki just volunteered himself to put Sei"s thinking into words.
Thus, hearing Zaki"s statement and seeing Sei"s expression, Dr. Izumi could already get another solid "yes" answer, so he continued.
"Are you experiencing the inability to feel any romantic pa.s.sion for anyone else, but her?"
"Oh"come on Izumi… what kind of question is that?! Did he ever feel any emotion, much more a romantic pa.s.sion before? This man was originally a lifeless log, a robot with a huge brain but without a heart! These dramatic changes just started ever since his beloved wife appeared, you know!"
Again, it was Zaki who answered him, and he knew very well about what he meant. Izumi who was his useless psychiatrist for a long time now knew just how stone cold Sei was, that he even deemed that there might not be a cure for him ever.
"Hey, Zaki. I"m asking these things to make him realize his feelings himself, okay? So please keep quiet and let me do my work in peace." Izumi then calmly spoke to the talkative man Zaki who just nonchalantly sat down with his hands behind his head and feet propped up on the desk upon hearing him.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it, go ahead then. Continue the interrogation, no, the Q&A portion I mean." He waved his hand lazily, causing the psychiatrist to shake his head a little. This guy is still such a pain…
"Okay, next question Sei. Do you think she"s unique? I mean, do you think there"s no one in the whole world like her?" he then asked and Sei immediately said "yes" without a single second of hesitation. Reflecting the words "she"s the only one in the universe" in his eyes.
"Do you always find yourself daydreaming about every little moment you spent with her or do you always found yourself focusing on every trivial objects or events that reminds you of her?"
"Izumi, just so you know, every single cookie and flower now turns this guy here into a deer in the headlights that I"m already considering to hire someone who will do the job of jolting him back to reality. I"m already tired of doing that."
As expected, Zaki couldn"t keep his mouth shut so Izumi could only ignore him. Besides, he knew that Zaki was the one who knew Sei more than anyone else. That he might even know more about Sei more than the man knew himself.
"Do you feel like your moods kept swinging here and there as though you were experiencing a drug addiction?"
"Exactly! Sometimes,… no, every time this man who used to be the embodiment of eternal winter for decades suddenly turned into the G.o.d of four seasons. But of course, he became like a broken season himself. As though winter, spring, autumn, and summer were fighting every time. And the funniest thing was that, winter immediately disappear in the picture with no trace as if it never existed once his wife appears, and summer and spring suddenly come all along with her. Ahh… do you get what I mean?"
"Yes, I get it. Absolutely clear Mr. Zaki." The psychiatrist then said before he turned towards Sei again.
"Next question, Sei. Do you regularly experience these signs – possessiveness, jealousy, fear of rejection, or separation anxiety?"
"Hahaha! Would you believe me if I told you he even felt jealous towards someone who"s gay? He even gets jealous towards me of all people even when I"m trying to talk business with his dearest wife. This person here is a super jealous husband. Plus… he almost never wants to leave this house now. And while we"re away, he"s always working ten times faster just to come home the earliest time possible."
Upon hearing Zaki"s answer and looking at the absolute "yes, he has said everything I have in mind" flas.h.i.+ng across Sei"s eyes, Izumi could only sigh. He could already tell that there"s no need for him to ask any more questions.
"Okay, last couple of questions. Have you considered planning the future with her in it? And do you feel like you"re willing to sacrifice anything for her?" the psychiatrist then asked and without waiting for his answer, he continued. "If your answers are yes as well, then congratulations Sei, you"re no doubt in love, 100%."
