The sun was already rising when Zaki stepped out of the study room. He was walking down the stairs when he remembered what happened last night. Of course, his gossiping stomach was being curious again. Thus, he immediately turned and he was about to go back upstairs when he halted. It was because, he caught something from the corner of his eyes causing him to turned back towards the sofa in the middle of the living room. And the moment his eyes zoomed in towards it, his brows creased.
Zaki wasted no time and took strides towards the guy sleeping in the sofa. And the moment he reached him, Zaki couldn't even find the words to say.
The sleeping man on the other hand awakened and he slowly rose. He peeked at him before he changed his sleeping mask.
Looking at him, Zaki who still couldn't believe that Sei actually slept in the sofa was about to talk when Sei suddenly sneezed not just once but twice.
That moment, a theory immediately popped in Zaki's head and a mischievous smile instantly carved on his face.
"Wait, wait, wait. You don't easily catch cold you know? Unless of course if… Fufufu Sei… You did something to her last night, right? Right?" The waggish guy said as he chuckled mischievous and the color of Sei's face immediately turned reddish. A reaction that undeniably turned Zaki's theory into fact.
"Haha. How far did you go? Did you actually take advantage of her while she's sleepin---" Zaki couldn't finish his words of mischief. It was because all of a sudden, Sei forcefully covered his mouth to make him stop talking.
Zaki that moment was about to struggle when a voice reached his ears.
"S-sei? You slept here?" she said and Zaki could only behave. Sei on the other hand slowly put down his hand after glancing at him with a gaze filled with threatening warnings.
The two men then looked at the source of the voice and the moment Sei met his wife's eyes, he reflexively lifted his hand and landed it on his own shoulder.
Davi then walked closer to him but before she could reach him, Sei once again sneezed. Causing her to realize that he surely caught her cold.
"Y-you caught my cold? That's why you left the bed and slept here?" She asked worriedly and for some reason, Sei froze for a while before he averted his gaze and hesitantly nodded at her while uttering a soft "Mm".
As soon as she heard him, Davi stepped closer to him and landed her palm on his forehead. Thankfully, the cold isn't that severe yet, making her to heaved a sigh of relief.
"Come, you have to drink medicine before your cold worsen." She said and she held his hand as she leads him towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Zaki who was left behind started murmuring to himself.
'Ugh! Young Miss! Can't you see that his answer is obviously a lie? Don't just believe in anything he says! Sigh… Oh well, this is getting intense. Sei, you're finally reaching your very limit. I wonder what he did last night. Pfft!'
…
In the kitchen, Davi was cooking while Sei just sat there watching her.
"Next time, when your cold is gone, let's cook together." She said as she smiled brightly and Sei just quietly nodded like an obedient little kid.
"Wait a bit more okay? This is almost done." She continued while stirring a soup when Sei replied.
"Mm. Take your time." He said and while Davi continued cooking, looking as though she was enjoying everything she's doing that Sei couldn't help but just stare at her with great admiration as if he was looking at a living breathtaking painting.
However, the longer he watched her, the more the scene from last night kept appearing in his head, making his face and ears went unbelievably hot and red.
