Still By Your Side's
11. The Deep Pain

Inside one of the toilets in Zico's extended family home, Zee secretly wipes away her tears as she recalls Alasha's words moments ago.

I don't know. Just like that, Zee has been carried away by feelings. Alasha is just saying so. Zee has not been legally married to Zico. Only just a paper and Zee has dared to call Sharon with a mama's call.

God, why are her tears flooding so hard?

If caught by Zico, the man may scold his sister like ten years ago, where Alasha as a child also had been blatantly dislike Zee.

At that time, Alasha was so angry when she found out that Zico had a girlfriend and brought her home. The little girl snapped and raised her tone to make herself engage in a pretty great debate with Zico.

"When I think gini why even suddenly nausea? Yuck! Yuck!" Lunch which was only a few more treats was issued. The sound of an impatient knock from the toilet door, in fact, managed to divide Zee's attention to stop the vomit action for a moment.

"Zee, it's me, Zico! You nauseous again? Please, open the door!"

Very forced, Zee opened the toilet door lock. Then Zico came in without waiting for Zee to ask him.

"Zee?"

"I'm not pa-pa! Just sick of it." Zee slightly distanced himself as Zico was about to grab him. The woman continued to rinse her mouth and wash her face.

At least her tear marks could be covered thanks to the vomiting just now.

"Are you not pa-pa? Not because of Alasha?" Once silent, Zee gave a short chuckle and then shook her head. "I'm just nauseous, so go to the toilet here. If you go to the kitchen toilet later another whimper will not feel good. They'll be disgusted."

Sighing, Zico grabbed Zee's body for him to hug tightly. Warm swabs are also given in the Zee back area to leave a comfortable mark.

"Then we go back to your boarding house. How's it?"

"Hm, I can."

There was a moment of silence, Zee then let go of Zico's embrace. Zico forced to break his embrace. His pair of neutrals were locked onto Zee's paled pretty face.

"Not nausea?"

"Udah no. Oh, ja. I'm gonna start teaching again tomorrow, okay? I haven't been in two days, pity the kids."

Zico sighed furiously. "Relatedly? Wouldn't you be tired? You are on leave again until we get married. Yea?"

Zee pouting. "But later"

"Zee, you're still not stable. Still often nausea the same vomiting. I have your deputy asked for leave for the next two weeks. Nurut, yes!"

"Two weeks?" Zee's pupils dilated. With a flat look, Zico nodded.

"Why not late?"

Zico wrapped his arms around Zee's waist. "Must, Zee! We need time off for a honeymoon. Where do you want us honeymoon to go?" Highlight Zico's eyes turning soft. His thin smile was also imprinted to make his face look thousands of times more handsome.

Really cheated!

Grunting, Zee again let go. Not yet completely detached, again Zico shackled him as before.

"Ziko!" Zee. The man is very suspicious at the moment. Evidenced by his increasingly widened smile and sensual touch given through a smooth massage in the waist area of Zee.

"Hm. Why?"

Zee's face met Zico little by little eroded the distance between the two. Zico's one large hand gently touched Zee's left face to make her hypnotized for a while.

"We-we're out, yeah. Must be the other one on the wait-in" Zee gasped for a while. The brief kiss that Zico made on his lips evoked a sense of dust in itself. In silence Zee continued to pay attention to the look of Zico's eyes that had not been so deep and piercing.

"Zi-zico?"

"I love you, Zee!"

Sweet words unexpectedly slid from Zico's mouth. In the next instant, Zee could not remember why he closed his eyes as Zico began to scoop his lips. Grasping her several times, taking a soft sip, bringing together their tongues, to make Zee unconsciously hold her arms around Zico's neck.

For this time alone Zee is honest; Zico is too good at everything, including making him tempted in terms of kisses or more.

"Eh! Zi-zico don't leave a mark, please! The others misunderstand." Zee tries to rebel as Zico's kiss slowly descends to the neck. Inhaling it vigorously, sweeping it warmly with the tongue, then sipping it aggressively enough until Zee subconsciously silenced her mouth to hold something back so as not to get away with it.

There was an amused nudity that immediately made Zee lower her face to look at Zico's facial expression. Unfortunately, the man continued to do the action until he made Zee pass one moan.

"Ah, Zi-zico already!"

May no one hear his voice so spoiled calling out the name of Zico.

Could dangerous!

...****...

"Zee want to go home now?" Highlight disappointment can not be avoided from the face of the mother-in-law. Sharon already loves Zee and she still wants Zee to stay longer at her house.

"Yeah, Mah. Hm, next time I'll be here again." With a heavy heart, Sharon nodded languidly. Then the war was immediately pacified by the husband.

"Ekhem. Soon Zee will be living in this same house as us. Meningan now we are busy making family clothes fittings and so on." Remembering something, Alaska turned to her daughter-in-law. "Oh, yeah, Zee. How's your mama doing? Does he know you want to get married?"

Zee's smile instantly faded and turned grim. His face looked down miserably with an occasional shake of head. "I-that, Mama I diagnosed her mental disorder relapse. He is currently being treated in hospital. And I can't tell you yet because it's still not stable."

Both her parents-in-law and Zico, the three were completely shocked to hear Zee's words. The various reactions they show. Unfortunately, Zee could only look down in disdain with an occasional smile of a knot.

"When was your mother treated again? As Papa remembers you once told me, isn't he healed?"

Zee nodded weakly. Unknowingly a drop of her tears fell down her cheeks. "Mama relapsed when I did an internship at Junior High School where I teach at this time. I don't know why my mom is suddenly unstable. Perhaps it is the destiny of the Almighty. As a human being, I can only pray that Mama can come back the way she used to."

"If you may know, where is your mother currently being treated?" Sharon grabbed both hands of Zee. Grasping it tightly to channel the power.

"At Bihara Mental Hospital, Mah."

Sharon looked at the husband with a sad expression. Before long, his attention returned to his daughter-in-law's face. Warm grips are again channeled.

"You don't feel sad, yeah. Your mother will be healed. Let us find a doctor and a much more experienced nurse so that she can recover like she used to." Then his attention turned to the eldest son. "Zico, today you're going to get Zee, yes. Don't tell Zee alone!"

"Yes, Mah. That's how Zico and Zee say goodbye first."

"Hm. Be careful with the car!"

...****...

Along the way home to the Zee boarding houses, the atmosphere in the car felt so quiet, quiet, even awkward. Several times Zico glanced at Zee who seemed to be daydreaming about something. His face was so pale. His eyeballs even look teary when looked at more closely.

"Ekhem!" Zico cleared his throat, hoping to make Zee react to just turn his head. Honey, that woman has really been washed away by her daydream.

Is Zee still thinking about her mother?

A subtle touch jolted Zee's consciousness. His head was dizzy staring at his hands and Zico alternated. In silence Zee noticed the handsome face of Zico who was so focused on driving his car. However, his other hand was still tightly grasping Zee's hand. Swiping it a few times even dyed the back of his hand spoiled.

"Suddenly I want to see the state of Mama-in-Law. What do you think?"

Flinched, Zee slapped Zico's hand while throwing her face away. "Mama is unstable. He was afraid to attack you like the last time I saw him he also attacked me. He even spared me as his son."

Zico huffed for a moment. Huffed breath also he puffed. "If you look at it from a distance. How's it?" Fresh Zico. Hopefully this time Zee will agree to his request. Or perhaps more precisely, Zico wanted to at least be able to treat Zee's pain by meeting her for a while with her mother.

And, it looks like Zico did it. Evidently from Zee gelagat who nodded his head several times in a positive response.

Not wanting to mince words, Zico gasped and turned their destination toward the hospital where Zee's mother was being treated. Until there, Zee was petrified when various patients with the same condition but with diverse symptoms, seemed to fill the hospital hallway.

Not left alone, patients with a fairly stable condition and able to be invited to communicate little goods, accompanied by nurses and nurses who guard.

Zee's steps that initially felt heavy down every hallway, increasingly heavy especially when he arrived the woman in front of the door of the ward of the mother. Along with Zico who was always present beside him, the man hugged Zee's body from the side. The woman cried without a sound as roar after roar sounded so echoing from the ward.

Occasional screams of hatred were also thrown. Zico guessed, his mother Zee had a fatal trauma to men to make his condition become so.

Zee almost lost his balance if Zico didn't catch his body immediately. Her tears flowed violently with her body shaking violently. Once dazed to open the ward door to see the condition of the mother, Zee ended up being stuck when the last memory of his mother threw him with a blunt object.

Pain from the thrown object is not much. It's just that his heartache for the condition of the mother who forgot him made Zee unable. Too painful. And, too unfair.

His mother had been cured for about eight years of psychiatric disorders. But after that, somehow because of what, his mother dropped back even more severe until now.

"Zico, let's go home, yeah! I-I can't-" Zee hung up on her words when Zico gave her a warm, tight hug. Not a word came out of his mouth. Just a light rub on his back made Zee even more emotionally stricken.

"Hm. We're home."
