I sat on the edge of the bed with the water still dripping, my hands holding white cloth moved wiping my wet hair repeatedly. I bowed my body on the bed as my eyes looked at the skin on my palm that was slightly flaking...
"Are you done?" There was a soft Zeki sound with the knock of the door accompanying.
"You still there?" As I sat back down, I put the white cloth over my thighs, which was visible because of the short dress I was wearing.
"Can I come in?" He said again, this time without a knock on the door.
"Come in," I said, grabbing the large bag Izumi had delivered to me earlier.
"I thought you left with my brother Izumi" I said as the door opened and he stepped inside.
"Izumi said she wanted to rest her body in the next room" she said, closing the door with her hand rubbing the back of her neck.
"Our trip this time was really exhausting," I said grabbing a wooden comb from inside the bag.
"I brought something for you" he said, laying his body on the side.
"What did you bring?" I replied without looking back at her, both of my hands moving gently combing my hair.
"Look at yourself" he said, I turned to look at him who was directing a small wooden box towards me.
"What's this?" I grabbed the wooden box and opened it.
"Earrings? Thank you, I love it," I said, lifting an earring with a small blue stone from the box.
"Didn't you want to wear it?" He sat up and looked at me.
"I haven't worn earrings in a long time," I said, returning his gaze, turning my right ear toward him.
"I will wear it" I said again as I stared at him who was silent to see me.
Put out the earrings I held earlier while I put the wooden box I was holding with one of my other hands on the thigh. Next to my hand moved around looking for a small hole in the earlobe.
"I'll help you" he said grabbing the earrings in my hand.
Zeki brought her face closer to me, so close... The breath he breathed touched my skin. I took a slow bite on my lips as my fingers touched my ears, I slightly blinked my eyes as I felt an object piercing through the flesh in my ears.
I gasped a little as I felt Zeki's palm touch the other side of my cheek. I turned towards him as I felt his fingers move slowly rubbing gently on my left ear several times...
Her long blue eyes looked at me, Zeki moved her palm touching the back of my neck. Slowly, he moved his face closer, getting closer until his warm breath touched my skin.
"Sa-chan," Haruki's voice suddenly rang out, the voice followed by a knock on the door which was also heard several times.
Zeki buried his head on my shoulder, along with the sound of tongue whispers he let out. He moved his body lying face down on the bed, buried his head deeper into the thin mattress on the bed we were sitting on.
"What's he doing in your room?" Haruki said walking in with one hand again closed the door of the room he had previously opened.
"Sister-in-law, how was your trip?" Zeki said without turning his body, only his head moved to the side.
"If you do something before you're legally married, I'll kill her, Sa-chan," Haruki said walking closer to the two of us.
"We didn't do anything" I said, putting the earrings in my hands to my ears.
"Did you see my clothes," he said, stepping closer to the large bag beside my body, I looked at Haruki who moved his hands into the big bag.
"You still keep it?" Haruki said, taking out a black scarf with floral embroidery that I had once gotten from Savon.
"That's a scarf from Savon before we left Paloma first," I said grabbing the scarf from Haruki's hand.
"Savon? Come to think of it, didn't you guys used to use that name in disguise?" Said Zeki lying sideways with one hand holding his head.
"He was my friend back in Paloma, so to speak... He helped me a lot while we were still living there," I said, re-folding the black scarf.
"Male?" Zeki narrowed her eyes at me.
"He's the vice-captain of the Paloma Kingdom, and he helped me to lead an army first" I returned his eyes.
"Heh" he said, standing up and walking toward the door of the room.
"What happened to her?" My words turned my eyes to Haruki as Zeki stepped out of the room.
"Eitherway. You can think of the reason yourself" he said, turning to step with one hand clasping the folds of clothes in his hand.
I stood up as Haruki stepped out and closed the door again. I stepped closer to a small round window beside the wall, I stared at the expanse of sea water that stretched behind the small window.
My body turned back with both hands moving to open the dress I was wearing. The clothes I had in my bag, I quickly put them on my body...
I stepped quickly to open the door of the room, my two feet quickly ran down the aisle of the ship and then up a ladder that was there. My head is moving to the right and also to the left...
I looked at Zeki who was standing leaning against the wall of the ship with his head staring straight into the ocean. I quickly approached Zeki who was talking to Aydin beside him...
"Aydin," I said, stopping behind them.
"Can" I said, stopping to catch my breath, I looked at those who had turned to look at me.
"Can you take me that way?" I said again by pointing one hand towards the back of my body.
