Son-in-law's Choice
*MP Episode 33

After bathing and changing into the bathroom as Zery waited in the room, Zaki came out with wet hair. Either get a whisper from where, Zery reflex immediately took a towel to dry Zaki's hair. While Zaki, he just continues to enjoy everything Zery does without saying a single word.

After drying hair. Zery immediately took a glass of hot tea that was on the nightstand. The tea that I made for Zaki. Of course, by Zery's orders.

"Drink so that your body feels warm, Zak."

Just like before. Zaki still did not say a word. But, he did what Zery told him. He took the tea, then he inhaled it slowly with a feeling.

And two sips went into Zaki's stomach. It felt warm enough for his stomach. But honey, it can't warm his cold heart.

"Ze, can I lay on your lap? I beg you," said Zaki after a long time of silence. But when he spoke, he sounded very sad.

Therefore, Zery could not refuse Zaki's request. He lets Zaki do what Zaki wants.

Initially, after Zaki lay on Zery's lap, the awkward voice felt very clear. Zery who felt stubbornly could not say anything. His body felt petrified and his tongue was also muffled. Therefore, both of them were silent. Until suddenly Zery felt his lap wet from the water. That's when Zery realized, that right now, Zaki was crying on his lap.

"Zak, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Zery said in a panicked tone.

"My heart is broken, Ze. And I can't bear the pain of breaking my heart right now. Because it .. I cry."

That explanation makes Zery can immediately guess if at this time, Zaki is having problems with his girlfriend. But because of that too, Zery chose to shut up now. He did not want to ask too many questions that would eventually worsen Zaki's mood.

The silent atmosphere was again created by itself. Until some time passes, Zery realizes that Zaki is no longer crying because now, Zaki is asleep. But, a few moments later Zery was immediately made to panic with Zaki's body temperature suddenly rose dramatically.

"Oh my God, Zak. Your body is hot right now. You have a fever, Zaki."

"Bik .. bibik! Call the doctor to come home! Zaki has a fever, Bik!" That was how Zery's loud voice rang out which immediately moved the aunt without asking much more.

"Suami mbak no papa. He only had a fever because it took too long to rain directly. I've given him a heat-lowering drug. Hopefully, his body temperature will be normal by morning."

"Thank you so much doctor."

"Together."

The doctor left Zery's house. Zery returned to Zaki's room after delivering the doctor to their doorstep.

Zery continued to look at Zaki's face which was now sleeping. Then, he stroked Zaki's hair gently. Not knowing what he was thinking now, he became so brave to touch Zaki that he had never done once before.

"What are you dealing with, Zak? It seems, it's so heavy that you lose control and look so frustrated."

"You cheerful and nosy are suddenly gone. Replacing with a man filled with sadness that made me feel a little scared."

"I don't like you like this, Zaki. I'd rather you're as nosy as ever. You like to flirt. You like to get me into arguments that make the atmosphere of this house so busy just because of the debate between the two of us."

"Please, don't be so long in sadness even though I know it's very hard for you. Rest assured if you are not alone, Zaki. There is me who will continue to be beside you. Although only as a friend and will not be more than that status."

And that's how Zery talked to himself for a while. Eventually, he felt tired and sleepy. Zery decided to lie down next to Zaki. Because he couldn't possibly leave Zaki in this feverish state.

....

The morning quickly. Zery who slept late was still washed away in the subconscious even though the morning had been incarnated. While Zaki who had started to improve was immediately awakened when sunlight illuminated the earth.

But, when he found Zery still lying by his side with his eyes tightly closed, Zaki immediately canceled his intention to move. Because that rare thing really made his heart feel comfortable.
