11 - Worried
After disconnecting the video call, Zeva tried to regain control of her ragged breathing. Yeah, Zeva was having the hardest time getting emotional with Zero's attitude just now. On the one hand, Zeva can understand Zero's nervousness, because Zeva guesses that Zero might be tired or have problems at work. However, on the other hand, Zeva couldn't accept Zero's groundless accusations against her. More precisely, Zeva did not accept Zero bringing up Zeva's feelings for Sky again. It was like Zeva had buried the matter deep, then suddenly Zero tried to pick it up again. "The first video call didn't put me in a happy mood, it even irritated me," grumbled Zeva alone. Right after Zeva grumbled, suddenly a chat notification came in. Then, Zeva stopped grumbling and turned to reach for her cell phone which she had thrown on the bed because she was so annoyed with Zero. Then, Zeva checked it. No, this time it's not a chat from Zero, but from Sky. Zeva's reply to the chat that Zeva ha

12 - Serious Discussion
"Why are you quiet? That means you don't love me?" Zero asked about Zeva's silence. Then, Zero heaves a sigh. It made Zeva think that Zero was disappointed in her. When Zeva was about to speak out to express her feelings, suddenly Zero spoke again, "It's okay, it's okay. I know why you don't love me."Hearing that, made Zeva eager to deny what Zero concluded. Zeva was ready to speak, but again Zero was the first to continue speaking again, "But... you love me too much, right?""Ugh… don’t be overconfident," said Zeva in a tone like denial, but in fact, her expression could not lie. If only they were making video calls now, instead of regular phone calls, Zero could see Zeva's awkward expression clearly which unconsciously turned into a shy smile. "It's true, right? Come on, Zeva. Just admit it. Don't be shy to express your feelings to me frankly." Zero is still teasing Zeva. "Shhh, why does he even tease me, anyway," thought Zeva.Yeah, that's Zero's strength, just now he made Ze

13 - Welcome Home
Since waking up this morning, Zeva has been grumpy. Maybe it's more accurate to wake up in the afternoon because Zeva woke up late. Yeah, how did she not oversleep, Zeva slept nearly morning. The cause of Zeva's grumpy mood is that there is no news of any chat from Zero. Of course, it wasn't as usual. Actually, Zeva can already guess the reason why Zero didn't send her a chat. Because last night or rather a third of last night when Zero pointed at her with a series of questions that were quite heavy, Zeva decided not to answer. Of course, Zeva did not explicitly say that she did not want to answer. However, Zeva distracts Zero by using the excuse that she is very sleepy and wants to sleep immediately. As a result, Zero complied with Zeva's wishes by ending their telephone connection. Zeva could tell that Zero was disappointed in her from Zero's tone of voice saying goodnight, unlike usual. Zero said it very flatly and only said two words, namely "Good night."Zeva hopes that Zero

14 - Intimate
Once Sky had entered Zeva's house, Zeva just could heave a sigh. Then, instead of closing the door, Zeva opened the door of her house widely. Previously, when Sky visited there was always Runa or Gamma or both, but now there is only Zeva alone. Zeva will feel awkward if she is alone with Sky. Moreover, they haven't communicated in a long time. Except for yesterday, and that was only because of work. After that, Zeva immediately went inside, following Sky who was already sitting on the sofa in the lounge room. Indeed, that is the only spot in Zeva's house that is suitable for relaxing. In fact, Zeva's house is relatively small, there are only two bedrooms equipped with a bathroom, living room, lounge, and kitchen area. "Please sit down, Zev," said Sky when he saw Zeva who just stood there. "Whose house is this, anyway? Why did he even tell me to sit down, as if he was the host and I was the guest?" thought Zeva. Zeva sighed, then opened her voice, "What do you want to drink?"

15 - Reminiscing
Zero's unilateral disconnection made Zeva chuckle, "Tsk. Why does he like making accusations so much? Even though he didn't see how it was." Then, suddenly a voice from Sky called from the kitchen, with a little shout, "Zev, come here a moment, please." "That's also one thing, why is he asking me to come over? Why didn't he just come to me here?" grumbled Zeva. Even though she grumbled, Zeva still got up from her seat to fulfill Sky's request who asked her to go to the kitchen. "Why?" asked Zeva as soon as she reached the kitchen. "Help me to prepare the dishes, Zev, let's hurry," said Sky while still focusing on stirring the food in a pot on a burning stove. "Well, he even gives me orders," thought Zeva. Zeva instantly recalled Zero's accusations against her. Zeva thought if for example, she helped Sky, did all of Zero's accusations against her come true? "Did you also say that you're ready to do it? Then, in the end, you even asked me to help you," complained Zeva. "We

16 - Lost Contact
It's been two days since Zeva lost contact with Zero. Zero didn't contact Zeva at all. Likewise with Zeva. In Zeva’s case, it's clearly due to her pride. The reason is the last time the one who disconnected the phone call unilaterally was Zero. So, Zeva felt that it should be Zero who reach out to her first. Especially since Zero had accused her of things without any clear evidence. Zero was the one at fault, and Zero should apologize to her. Even though for those two days Zeva was busy outside the house because she worked to take pictures of her clients, on the sidelines of the shoot Zeva occasionally checked her cell phone. Undeniably, Zeva was waiting for Zero to contact her. "Does this mean he wants our relationship to end right away, right?" thought Zeva, seeing that there was still no incoming notification from Zero on her cell phone. "But wait, what's really going to end? It's not clear what relationship we are in." Zeva corrected her own thoughts. Then, suddenly a voic

17 - A Warning
Two days had passed without any communication, and Zeva hesitantly greeted Zero, who was on the other end of the phone. However, after waiting for about two minutes, there was still no sign of a response from Zero."Hello," Zeva said again, thinking that perhaps Zero was unaware that the call had connected."Zero," Zeva called out again, as there was still no response.But still, there was no answer from Zero. Suddenly, the phone call was disconnected abruptly. Zeva wasn't sure if it was due to a lost signal or if Zero intentionally ended the call."What's wrong with him? Maybe he didn't really intend to call but accidentally pressed the dial button?" Zeva whispered as she lowered her phone from her ear."Why is he so frustrating? He's making me think about him all the time," Zeva grumbled.Afterward, Zeva decided to sit down to calm her heart and mind while waiting for her client to finish eating. Of course, she had no intention of going back into the restaurant. After successfully e

18 - What do you want?
While Zeva was unlocking her locked front door, her phone suddenly rang. She paused from opening the door and decided to check her phone in her coat pocket instead. Upon seeing the contact name displayed on her phone's screen, Zeva rubbed her eyes. She wanted to make sure she wasn't mistaken. It was late at night, and she was tired, so her vision wasn't optimal due to drowsiness. Earlier, Zeva had a client who had a lot of energy. They visited many places, and the client seemed tireless even though they did a lot of walking. Zeva had to follow them despite her feet feeling like they were about to fall off. But the advantage was that the client treated her to dinner, so Zeva didn't need to worry about preparing her own dinner. "Is this really him calling? Why? Does he still have any business with me?" Zeva monologued, commenting on the caller's identity. However, even though she grumbled, Zeva still answered the call. This time, she chose to remain silent at first. She wanted to wai

19 - Spending Time Together
After ending the phone call, Zeva immediately searched for her chat conversation with Liora from the other day. Luckily, Zeva was the type who never deleted her chat history, so when needed, she didn't have to ask an IT expert for help retrieving backup data. Once she found it, Zeva quickly took a screenshot of the chat on her phone. Since the chat wasn't long, she only needed to capture it once.Next, Zeva immediately sent the screenshot to Zero. "There, I sent the evidence directly. If you still don't believe it, I don't care anymore. It's not my concern," she remarked.After ensuring the message was successfully sent, Zeva turned off her phone and put it back into her coat pocket. She had lost interest in waiting for Zero's response. Instead, she decided to go inside her house and clean herself up so she could immediately lie down on her bed. Her body felt exhausted, and her mind and heart were also tired.The following day, Zeva was reluctantly awakened from her sleep by the sound

20 - Tiger vs Crocodile
Sky started to gently stroke Zeva's face with his index finger. He did it so softly, and slowly, a smile formed on Sky's lips. Meanwhile, with her eyes still closed, Zeva also began to smile. Then, slowly, Zeva's eyes began to open. "Aaa!" Zeva screamed as she woke up. Understandably, Zeva was startled. Opening her eyes and finding Sky's face so close to hers was unexpected. Sky was also taken aback by Zeva's sudden scream. He had thought of waking her up, but he didn't expect her to react so strongly. Zeva thought that someone touching her face was just a dream. In her dream, it was not Sky who touched her face, but Zero. That's why Zeva smiled before she woke up. "What are you doing here?" Zeva asked, now in a sitting position. "I wanted to wake you up. Why did you have to scream like that? Am I some kind of thief?" Sky replied sarcastically. "How could I not scream? You just barged into my room," Zeva said. "I've been knocking on the door and calling you from outside seve
