Chapter 197 - Just Cry
Time pa.s.sed and Zaki just spilled the beans while his gaze was just transfixed into the vase on the table. He didn"t disclosed any details about Sei"s ident.i.ty. He didn"t mention names of people and places. However, he told her every important events that happened ever since Sei arrived in that country. He told her how he lost everything, his beloved mother and every single bit of his emotion. He told her how he fought alone even though he was just a child. He told her how he manage to survive. He told her just what Sei went through ever since he was young. He told her the reasons why he was molded that way. Without realizing that for a long while now, tears has been flowing quietly from the eyes of the girl across him.
"Right now, he"s still uncovering the mystery of that case. He needs to find out just what happened and who was behind it in order for him to clear his name. Governments around the world were still chasing him, trying to capture him, that"s why he"s still in extreme danger. I understand why you wanted to know who he is and see his face, but I"m afraid once that happens, you will be put in grave danger as well. And you know Sei never wanted that to happen. He wanted to protect you at all cost that"s why I hope you will understand why he"s still not revealing his real face to you. I"m sure he"s been anxiously thinking about this a lot and I"m sure you know just how much he worries about you. So for now I"ll sincerely ask you to be a bit more patient until he finally decides to reveal himself to you..."
The moment Zaki turned his gaze on the girl across him, he immediately paused and was aghast for a while. It was because, Incessant tears were already flowing on her face and the way she cried was enough to wrench his emotions.
Zaki then noisily stood up because he was somehow at lost for words and he didn"t know what to do. Well, he expected her to feel saddened once she heard Sei"s story but he never expect the girl to weep so heartbreakingly like this.
Err... what have I done? If Sei wakes up now... ahh, what should I do?
Reflexively, Zaki held his nape before he just ran like flash towards the dining hall as though there was a fire and he needs to run for his life. However, the next moment, he returned with a box of tissue in his hand.
"Uhm... Miss, please don"t cry. Just beat me if I said something awful just now." He said as he offered her the tissue while he also just cried without tears inside.
"No, I"m sorry, I"m just... its just that... why did he have to go through all those? Sei is... Why him? I"m sorry, I"m just sad that I couldn"t do anything for him. I just wished that I was there embracing him when he was fighting alone." She softly said as she just continued sobbing. Causing Zaki to just ran away again. And when he came back, a gla.s.s of water was already in his hand. He was about to give the water to her when he purposely knocked the vase down to wake Sei up. Well, he knew he"s the only one who could console his wife now.
Due to the noise of the vase that fell on the floor, Sei"s brows finally creased and he slowly opened his eyes.
That instant, while Zaki was feeling doomed and at the same time saved, Davi just couldn"t control her tears anymore. Her heart was literally breaking since Mr Chen. started telling her about the things that happened to Sei. She couldn"t begin to imagine everything that he went through even though he was so young and she just couldn"t help but just cry. She felt an unbearable pain for him and she wished that she could have been there to hug him tight and tell him to stay strong. She wished that she could have been there to gently caress his head and tell him to keep fighting and make him feel he is not alone.
Davi just couldn"t stop her tears, that he didn"t even realize that the man on her lap had awakened and was immediately froze to the core the moment he saw his wife crying.
For a moment, Sei thought that what he was seeing was just a bad dream. However, he snapped the moment her tear fell on his face, causing him to slowly arise. An extremely worried look flashed across his eyes as he gazed at her. He was about to ask what was wrong, when the girl saw him woke up, she suddenly hugged him so tight to show comfort to help ease his pain yet she couldn"t stop weeping.
"Sei..." She uttered his name as she cried, causing Sei"s heart to feel as though it"s being twisted with pain.
"W-what"s wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked but the girl just shook her head. Causing him to feel even more anxious and worried.
Thankfully, he finally notice Zaki"s presence so he looked at him with questioning eyes.
"Er... she asked me to tell her a story about you so I told her the things that happened to you when you were young... I didn"t know it"ll sadden her too much." Zaki said before he immediately turned his back and walked away like a ninja who"s running for his precious life.
And by the time he finally manage to hid himself somewhere, he turned back and peeked on the couple on the couch. He looked at Sei and he smiled mischievously.
"Sigh... I have no words for your wife Sei, I think she just cried all the tears that supposed to be yours." He whispered to himself before his gaze then fell to Davi and another smile, one that no longer mischievous carved on his face.
"Miss, actually, you don"t need to wish about that. Because back then, you"re the one who saved him. And that time you saved him, I was saved as well."
