Time passed and darkness finally swallowed the sky. Zaki and Sei remained in the same spot after a long talk until Sei received a message from his dear wife.
"Zaki… how long do you plan on lying there? Does lying in the sand feel so good that you don't want to get up?" Sei then asked and Zaki finally looked at him. However, he looked like veins are popping on his forehead as he glared at Sei.
"Idiot! I've been waiting for you to help me up!"
Zaki suddenly burst but instead of laughing at his remarks, Sei creased his brows hard as he looked at him worriedly.
"You… don't tell me you can't even get up by yourself now!" Sei started to panic when suddenly, Zaki rose and he sat up, rendering Sei speechless.
Sei: "…"
Kir, who was about to rush towards them stopped at full force, making the other guards look at him in confusion. Well, Kir was the only one among the guards who could hear their conversation so he rushed towards them the moment he heard Sei's words.
"Captain… what's wrong?" the other guards asked Kir and the man immediately cleared his throat.
"Eherm… nothing. It was a false alarm. Go back to your posts," he ordered and the men immediately returned to their posts.
Sei on the other hand, looked at Zaki like he wanted to hit him but instead of hitting him, he called Kir to come over.
Kir then swiftly arrived and he stood before Sei.
"Boss, is there something wrong?" he asked and Sei kept his eyes on the man sitting on the sand as he spoke.
"Zaki needs you to carry him," Sei suddenly said, causing Zaki's eyes to widen.
"Ehh? Why? What's wrong with him? Did you have a muscle cramp from lying there for so long?" Kir asked innocently as his gaze fell on Sei and then on Zaki. Well, in Kir's eyes, Zaki was still the invincible fighter and the strongest of all. And in his eyes, he remained that way and it will never change.
Before Zaki could speak to redeem himself from the total misunderstanding, Sei spoke first.
"No, he's fine. This man's heart is broken so badly right now that he can't even stand anymore," Sei explained and the two were rendered speechless.
Zaki: "…"
Kir: "…"
Kir then looked at Zaki and when Zaki saw the sympathy in the man's eyes, his shoulders dropped and he waved at Kir to leave.
"Don't listen to Sei and go back to your post," Zaki said weakly but Kir didn't move. He instead turned towards Sei, waiting for his order.
"Boss, I don't think he will let me carry him. Shall I knock him out?" Kir asked and before Sei could reply, Zaki stood up as he glared sharply at the two of them.
"You two blockheads… don't add to my frustrations!" he complained and he walked past them with an annoyed look.
When the man walked away from them, Sei signaled Kir to go back to his post before he caught up with Zaki.
"Sei, where is she?" Zaki immediately asked and Sei immediately replied as he led him towards a cottage.
"My wife said they're drinking inside the cottage," he said and they both walked towards said place. When they were close to it, they could hear two voices singing so happily.
"Err… videoke?"
"Zaki, I can hear my wife's voice."
"Hinari's voice is better though."
"No, my wife's is better."
"Idiot! You're deaf. Hinari's voice is 50% better, can't you hear?"
"Shut up Zaki. If you badmouth my wife, I will---"
"I got it, I got it!"
