Chapter 186 - A Certain Strong Enemy
Looking at him, Zaki could only sigh before he continued talking.
"Okay, forget about the wedding for the mean time. You should think about confessing first. You get it?" Zaki said and like a wronged little kid, Sei just nodded silently.
"Now let"s go back for your present. Choose one so we can go now. Just think about what she would like and buy it." Zaki again sounded like a strict coach. Well, he"s enjoying the current rare situation where he could actually order Sei, his boss, on what he should do.
"What she likes?" Sei then repeated and his brain started scanning memories that might show what she likes. And the next second, flowers, movies, cookies, the moon, bunny mask, the sun, cat sticker and apples appeared inside his brain one after the other. Well, whenever he saw those, he will always think about her, and that was the reason why, the things that used to be nonexistent and irrelevant all became precious things in his sight.
Thus, at that point in time, considering those things, Sei turned around and scrutinized the gift shop once more before he finally talked.
"I think what she likes aren"t here." He said and as he was about to leave, suddenly, he stood still just in front of the entrance because something just caught his attention. He stared at the big fluffy white teddy bear displayed at the corner. His face became annoyed and cold as though he was looking at a certain strong enemy. Well, ever since his wife told him that a certain teddy bear became his subst.i.tute when he"s not around, Sei somehow developed a really nasty feeling towards teddy bears to the point that he wanted to annihilate all the existing teddy bears in the planet.
However, of course, at the same time, he remembered that when his wife was hugging the bear, she was so happy. So he had no choice but to force himself to calm down, and just try to tolerate the teddy bears, uttering the words "forget it, wife likes them so just let them be".
Sei then sighed quietly before he turned back and moved towards the entrance again, when suddenly he stopped once more. Because in an instant, his wife"s radiant smile as she hugged the little teddy bear kept appearing in his head. And he didn"t know why but he hesitated and before he knew it, he again stared coldly at the bear.
Until eventually, he gave up and finally walked towards the fluffy white thing. He stretched out his hand and picked the teddy bear up. He stared at its face before he sighed.
"Right… I shouldn"t hate the things my wife likes. What she likes, I should also like…" He uttered within him before he finally gave the bear to the grinning Zaki behind him.
"Ohh… somehow, at least, you know how to make your wife happy. You"re finally improving, Sei." Zaki said as he continued smiling mischievously. Finally, they left the gift shop and it"s already dusk.
"Hey, are you sure you don"t want to be the one holding this?" Zaki asked while they were heading towards the car. And when Sei just ignored him, he smiled mischievously again as he continued talking.
"Well, your wife will surely cuddle this thing once she sees this… so if I"ll be the one to hold this then, won"t my scent be transferred to this bear? She might end up thinking that this smells like me and not you---" Zaki didn"t even finish his statement yet when as expected Sei s.n.a.t.c.hed the teddy bear from him, causing Zaki to just laugh out loud.
"Don"t put it down the seat Sei, it"ll end up smelling like car. I suggest you cuddle with it so that it"ll smell like you, and of course, she"ll always think of you whenever she hugs it." Zaki continued the moment Sei was about to put the bear beside him. Of course what the mischievous Zaki said, made Sei"s brows knitted but well, he thought that Zaki"s logic isn"t wrong so he quietly put the bear in his lap as he wrapped his arm around it so naturally.
Not knowing that the man beside him was shaking because he was suppressing his laughter while looking at the unbelievable picture of a cold looking man with a big white fluffy teddy bear on his lap.
