Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 39 - Inside The Darkness

~ Do not be alone in the dark, later cemented by demons. And Ave doesn't want to be the same demon. (Ave) ~

When Zaid arrived home, he thought he would be greeted by the carefree voice of Ave cooking in the kitchen.

But the guest room looks quiet. Even dark. The kitchen he came to was also in a mess. The food was still on the table and not finished cooking. Zaid's feelings turned bad. Even though the girl had a room like a broken ship, she never let the kitchen be what it is today. Zaid rushed off the jacket, put down the backpack and stepped quickly towards the pavilion.

Ave's room door was easily opened. The girl must have forgotten to lock it again. As soon as Zaid came in, Ave was lying sideways on the bed. Still dressed at work, and the kitchen apron had become an unruly scroll next to it.

Soon, Zaid approached her.

"Ve? You why? What pain?" zaid asked worriedly as he touched Ave's shoulder.

Ave's eyes were closed, but both of the girl's hands were both pressing against her stomach. There was also a small wrinkle on his forehead. Ave is in pain.

Slowly Ave's eyes opened. Looks reddened. "Sir, sorry! Ave's got a stomachache."

Hearing the soft voice confess, Zaid immediately crouched down in front of Ave. "Astomach pain? We're going to the hospital, right now?"

Ave shook his head, trying to smile but what appeared was a ringing. "No need, sir. It's just. menstrual pain."

Zaid. What is menstrual pain? Despite having an older sister, Zaid doesn't know anything about that one pain. Only women experience it, and as Zaid remembers, her brother was never like Ave. He often heard, but only this time saw directly. Ave couldn't have joked, the girl's face was so pale.

Ah yes, Brother Zahra must know the cure.

He quickly got out of the pavilion and called. Fortunately, it was answered immediately.

"Sir, if menstrual pain usually has to what?" ask Zaid to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Zahra was flabbergasted. It took a few seconds for him to be able to answer, "Usually use anti-pain medicine, Bang. But try to compress warm water to the sick stomach, then give a warm ginger drink. Use sugar war. Little saje yes. Not too much!"

"Halia? Sugar war? Oh... Ginger, Brother? With brown sugar?"

Crisp laughter sounded. "Ah yes, yes that is... That's right."

"That's it, brother?"

"Let her rest for a while, try to lift her legs a little. Love pillows. Keep letting him sleep. If it really hurts, just take it to the doctor or you buy some anti-sick medicine, Bang!" zahra's advice before mentioning one of the brands of anti-pain medication that she knew.

"He doesn't want to, brother. He said it was just menstrual pain."

"Try that way first. If it doesn't decrease, you'll take him to the hospital instead" Zahra said patiently.

"OK, Brother! Thanks, brother!"

"Abang! Bang, wait!" prevent Zahra in a hurry. I want it to be unbearable.

"Yes Brother?"

"Who is he, Bang? Your boyfriend?" ask Zahra. There was a witty tone heard from his voice.

Zaid was silent for a moment. "No, Brother. She. my future wife."

"Huh?"

"Assalamualaikum, Brother!" Zaid could imagine the shocked face of his older brother who must have been wondering. That can be explained later, at this time he wants to take care of Ave first.

After hanging up the phone, Zaid went back into the room. "Ve, you sleep first. I made some ginger tea first, huh?"

Ave just shut up, didn't say. He just let Zaid help him improve his sleeping position and even let the man give him a blanket. Then Zaid came out.

A few minutes later, in his usual home clothes, Zaid came back with a cup of tea and a warm water compress. It awakens Ave and gently helps the girl sip her warm ginger tea. While the other hand thrust a compress device filled with warm water into Ave's stomach.

The warmth flowing in his pajama-covered stomach, also through his throat made Ave breathe a sigh of relief. He feels much better.

"If you're better, take a shower first. Can you?" whispered Zaid slowly.

Ave just nodded. Zayd left the room. Just like this, Ave already felt very grateful. Zaid didn't even ask about the cooking. After a bit of silence, Ave got up and went to the bathroom.

When he came out in loose clothing and prepared to sleep again. Zaid was in his room again, changing the water in the compress bag to keep it warm again. On a small table, there was a tray containing a bowl of porridge and a glass of water. In the middle of the tray was a pack of anti-pain medication.

"Eat first! I was cooking chicken soup. It might not be as good as your cooking, Ve. But better than an empty stomach. If you still don't like it, I'll order it from the outside. If you've eaten, take the medicine."

Ave wanted to know where Zaid got his anti-pain medicine from. There was no way the man could buy it so quickly, and while cooking the soup anyway. This was even more astonishing, since when could Zaid cook?

When Ave thought the taste of chicken soup was bad, he was surprised. Although he was not feeling well, but Ave's tongue was used to taste the classy food of famous chefs. Chicken soup made by Zaid can not be considered as ordinary cuisine, chicken soup is quite good.

But the man didn't seem to care. He was busy fixing the bed linen, pillows and bolsters on the bed, cleaning up the comic books scattered into a pile on the nightstand. Not until five minutes, the trash can in Ave's room was full. Ave was completely amazed at his ability to clean rooms. Unknowingly, he finished his meal.

Upon seeing Ave's empty bowl, Zaid helps Ave unwrap the medicine and thrusts it at her. Ave smiled happily. It has long been unpopular like this.

After eating, Ave lies back down, while Zaid carries the tray out and his hand automatically presses the light switch, but...

"Aah! No!" screeches Ave.

Hurriedly Zaid pressed the switch button again. Ave's breath seemed to be wheezing. "You...afraid?" ask Zaid while putting the tray back on the table and approaching Ave.

Ave nodded. "Ave don't want to be dark, sir!"

"Fearful?" guess Zaid.

The word fear made Ave's pride hurt, so he shook his head. "No, Sir! Not afraid, just worried."

"Worry?"

"Yes, said the parents if dark-darkness ater accompanied by the devil. Ave doesn't want to be the same as Satan. Hehe " said Ave with a laugh.

Zaid can't hide his gel, either. "You are sick and you can still joke. Besides, the message means that you're two-again with a guy, Ve. Not while sleeping alone like this." As he spoke, Zaid turned on the sleeping lights on the nightstand. "It's bright like this, you have a hard time sleeping. I turned this on, but my room lights turned off?"

"Snake!" whining Ave.

Zaid sighed. "I'm with you."

"Our intars are accompanied by the demon dong!" hatch Ave. But then his little ringing appeared again. The pain came.

"Udah sleep, I will nego the same demon. No need to be with Ave. Just enemy. Ave fit it to be an angel," said Zaid origin. Maybe because he too often heard absurd sentences ala Ave, he was finally able to easily issue similar sentences.

After the sleeping lights turned on and the room lights were turned off, Zaid sat on a chair near the dressing table. But after thinking again, he moved to sit on the floor while leaning on the edge of Ave's bed. For a moment they were silent to each other, only the sound of Ave fidgeting back and forth on the bed. How can he sleep when there is a man sitting on the floor of his room? Form a real silhouette that he is not a dream.

"Ve?" call Zaid. Gentler. He knew Ave wasn't asleep.

"Hmm?" sahut Ave's.

"Still sick?"

"Udah less."

"Is this always the case every month?" asked Zaid, looking a little. Ave had been facing towards him now. Sleeping sideways.

"Especially not. But last month Ave didn't get caught. Maybe because it hurts now."

This time Zaid was completely facing towards the bed. "Have you ever seen a doctor?"

Silence was long enough before finally a voice whispered, "Ave is afraid."

"Fearful? Why fear, Ve? If you are sick, you can get treated immediately."

"Ave was afraid of being sick like Mama. Ave doesn't want to."

Zaid remembered Ave's story that his mother died of cancer. He sighed. "There I am now, Ve. You don't have to be afraid."

"Sir?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't be too good with Ave, sir! Ave much wrong same father."

Zaid's eyes looked straight at Ave. "Then marry me, Ve! Fix your mistake by loving me!"

They looked at each other for a long time, before Ave smiled slightly. "Daddy ever had a dream?"

Zaid did not answer. He knew Ave was trying to explain something.

"Ave had a dream that Ave wanted to make happen, sir. Dreams are more important than all the things in this world. That dream was also Ave's promise to Mama. Before the dream came true, Ave had not thought of anything. Solved the error, Ave promised to fix it later."

"But we can make your dreams come true together, Ve." Not wanting to lose the chance to convince Ave, Zaid stood up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Eitz! Is this the same demon?" elak Ave laughed. It shifted away.

But no joy appeared on Zaid's face. He stared hard. "Don't switch the conversation on, Ve!"

Ave got up from her sleep, sat down. His stomach ached again, but he had to explain to Zaid. "Ave doesn't want to ask anyone for help, sir. Even from his own brother, Ave doesn't want to. Especially the same Father. You already want to nerima Ave to be an employee and chef here is enough. No need to add."

"But are you sure you don't love me, Ve?" ask Zaid again. He didn't want to give up this time. His brother knew, his friends knew.

Silence again. The dimness of the atmosphere makes the silence very felt.

"You really don't love me, Ve?" repeated Zaid a little urgently while looking at Ave gently. Shift closer. His eyes were so deep, probing, waiting for anything to be seen in Ave's eyes.

With Zaid's face so close, staring at him like this, Ave could not dodge. Her lips may be locked but she can't lie to her feelings. But he can't tell the truth. Not because he was afraid that his dream would disappear instantly. Not because he was afraid of losing his chance. No. gabe... That's not it anymore. He knew Zaid was part of his dream.

Ave is afraid that if this man finally finds the reason behind everything Ave has done, Zaid will never forgive himself. Ave was afraid, when it was over he would hurt Zaid. While trying hard to stay calm, Ave could only blink her eyes twice, which Zaid responded differently. The man smiled more and more.

"One time yes, two times it means no" murmured Zaid softly, then he lowered his head. Approaching Ave's face, put her lips on Ave's lips, draining the warmth. Very slowly.

Ave did not dare to move. And he closed his eyes tightly. Afraid that his emotions would be read.

"Ve, marry me!" pinta Zaid once again after a quick kiss. Be softer. More pleading.

Ave's eyes stared at Zaid expressionlessly. He doesn't know what to answer. Telling the truth is clearly impossible, but asserting the request is also impossible with all the secrets he keeps himself. While trying to stay calm, Ave smiled very sweetly at Zaid.

"Then what about Maya? What about Mrs Alin, Mrs Rose... ?"

"At this moment you think of them?" ask Zaid in disbelief.

Ave shrugged his shoulders. "And said Father, Ave is an angel. Angel Ave doesn't want to hurt people."

"But every day you hurt me!" sergeant Zaid.

"Oh, bodo... Father is satan. If people go on Hajj, they'll send stones to the demon lo!" Ave laughed amusedly.

"It was painful again." Then the two laughed together. Unknowingly, Zaid had grabbed Ave's hand, squeezing it gently. "You threw stones at me."

"Ve, I'll wait until you say yes. I'll propose to you every day until you accept. I'm gonna... "

"Don't promise that, sir. Say 'I'll buy you ice cream every day!' keep 'i'll raise your salary every month'... Gituu!" cut Ave showing off her big smile.

Zaid's eyes narrowed. "It's really just that? My proposal was accepted, right?"

Again Ave did not answer, only laughing to close their conversation widened unclear. Unfortunately the pain came back and he fell silent while grimacing.

Hurriedly Zaid asked Ave to lie down again and this time he no longer sat on the floor, but sat right next to Ave lying down. He promises to keep Ave company until the girl sleeps. Then he picked up one of Ave's comics stacked on a nightstand. Find busy until Ave sleeps.

For a moment, Zaid commented. "What's this comic, Ve? How's ginian's picture?" asked Zaid while showing the sheet he was reading.

Lazily, Ave opened her sleepy eyes. Right in front of his nose, there is a picture of a pair of lovebirds kissing affectionately, equipped with flowers scattered. One full page. A red hue instantly appeared on Ave's face, he hurriedly grabbed the comic and slipped it under the pillow.

Zaid only smiled amusedly, no longer daring to continue the joke. He knew that if he continued, Ave would throw him out of the room.

But until Ave fell asleep, the girl would no longer face Zaid. He's too embarrassed.

Before exiting the girl's room, Zaid fixes Ave's unique way of sleeping. Turtle style became the normal human style. After leaving a light peck on Ave's forehead, Zaid left the room with a happy heart.

He no longer needs words. He won Ave's heart. It's time to explain to the rest of the world before carrying out its primary purpose. Ave can have a dream, and the girl can do it. But Zaid also has his own dreams, and he prefers to keep them until Ave has finished making them happen.
