"Me and Ajie never. I used to be guilty of him."
Ave's body stiffened. He never thought that Zaid and Ajie knew each other. Absolutely unimaginable to him. They do have similar traits, but how could they know each other?
Slowly Ave's brain began to assemble all the information he knew.
Natasha knows Ajie and Zaid. He always warned that Ave and Ajie's real relationship was unknown to Zaid. Is that because Natasha is worried that Zaid will use her? Or worried that Ajie would prevent it?
Or is Natasha's beauty the real cause? Didn't Natasha used to be Ajie's lover? Could this be a love triangle between them? Before Lily, Eagle and herself were present in the lives of the three of them.
Ave's heart seemed to be pierced when he thought about it. But doesn't Natasha have an eagle now? And now Zaid only looks at himself. No. gabe... Ave doesn't want to hear stories in the past that might just hurt to be heard. He did not want to be like Papa who regretted his mistake thinking Mama's late mother was cheating.
"Then?" asked Ave with a face as flat as possible, even though at that time his heart was full of burning jealousy.
"Then I found out you were his brother-in-law, I was thinking of mending our friendship through you. Before I knew it, I was in love with you."
Slowly the jealous flames began to extinguish by themselves. A smile began to expand on Ave's face. He looked at Zaid warmly. He doesn't have to investigate anything. The past is just the past. He loved this man, and this man fell in love with him. That's enough.
"I'm sorry, Ve. Had wanted to use you," muttered Zaid regretfully.
"just that? If you use peace, of course Ave also wants, Mas. No need to worry, Ave knows Mas Ajie. Ajie is not a vengeful type. Especially if it's just the past. Don't think about it. Kirain what was. duh that's no problem." Ave's lips thinned as it held back a smile.
"Are you sure, Ve? I'm willing to meet Ajie if I have to. Apologizing. Make you."
Wanting to reassure Zaid, Ave sat down and looked at her lover. "No need, Mom. Ave believes Mas Ajie has not thought about the past. But now Ave is not ready to tell Mas Ajie about us, so please!"
Zayd also sat down. "Why not now, Ve? I told you I had no intention of going out. I want us to get married."
"But Ave had an unfinished dream, Mas."
"the dream? Can't we make your dream come true together?"
"could. But Ave doesn't want to disappoint Papa. Ave has an appointment with Papa, and Ave wants to fulfill that promise first. Ave has to make Papa proud. Ave has to prove that Ave can. This is also so that Papa will accept Mas loh."
"really? What promise?"
"the problem... Ave promised Papa to keep it a secret and if there are outsiders who know it means Ave failed."
"So I'm an outsider?" Zaid's eyes dimmed.
Ave's laughter sounded. "Right now for Papa Ave, Mas outsider. But not for Ave."
Pouting, Zaid's lips clenched tightly not answering. He looked the other way. Not wanting to let Zaid's anger emerge in their crucial moments, Ave's palms cupped Zaid's cheeks together and slowly made the man look at her.
"Listen yes, My Snowy Devil. I like you too. But please, be patient. Stayed... " Ave remembered for a while, before continuing. "At least seven more months, as long as Ave's salary is not deducted and Ave is still working at Mas's office, then once Ave is done, Ave will immediately tell the entire Ave family. And of course at that time I could ask for anything."
Zaid still did not answer. Only his lips were pursed, the code asking for a reward. Ave laughed again, but then she moved her face forward and kissed slowly on Zaid's lips. A brief kiss with a still-shadowing laugh.
But just as he was about to retreat again, Zaid's two hands immediately shared the task. One held his head, the other held Ave's back, then pressed the girl to kiss him again.
Feeling the warmth that makes the whole body more burned, Zaid's kiss was more courageous. Expertly, he stuck out his tongue, luring Ave's lips wider open and their tongues touching, pushing and feeling each other followed by a ticklish impulse that ran through Ave's entire back, forcing his body to curve towards Zaid. The more tightly attached.
"Mmmm... Mm mm... " Ave's bated sigh rang out from Ave's lips as Zaid's kiss moved to his ear and his neck and the longer it went down, the farther, the braver it became...
Ave started to remember something between the fading views. "Mh... Mas... Mm... Ssstop! Yeah.gan!" whispered among the almost irresistible attacks of passion.
As if shot at something upon hearing the whisper full of warning Ave, Zaid's head was lifted suddenly. His face was flushed red, his breathing was wheezing and his hair was already in a mess. He did not let go of his embrace, but distanced a little of the bodies of both of them.
Ave's closed eyes slowly opened and as dark as Zaid's eyes, his breathing also hunted down like he had just finished running.
When Zaid regained control of himself, the man grabbed a quilt of fur and covered Ave's entire body, wrapping her up like a baby. Only Ave's face looked at him confused. Zaid smiled bitterly.
"Seven months... Seven months... Hffm. Seven minutes with you, I can't stand it, Ve. Can't it be accelerated?" pinta Zaid with her new eyes first saw Ave, before she finally hugged Ave again.
Ave shook her head while breaking away from Zaid's embrace and just as he was about to stand up, Zaid pulled him back. This time he hugged the girl with both hands wrapped around Ave's body which was still wrapped in a blanket. In fact, he pulled Ave's body back to lie together on the beach chair.
"I still need a minute to catch myself, Ve. Comrade!"
"No, uh! Ave don't want ah, what if you see Zahra?" reject Ave while wriggling trying to escape.
Zaid still did not let go of his embrace. "You. If you squirm that, I even become more willing, Ve. Please diem! Just one second!"
Ave immediately stopped moving. Freezing like a statue. Although he only learned a little about male anatomy while still in school, but he knew Zaid could not have pleaded like that if he could hold it. He was in trouble, especially Zaid.
"This is the last time you lured me out, Ve. Don't ever kiss me first. Don't say the words that make me want to kiss you. Wanna?" whisky Zaid.
Ave didn't answer. But a wide smile was on his blushing face. His chest was like he was about to explode filled with happiness
"Let me fall in love with you, Ve. Let me shower you with that love. Let me assure you, if only I can please you. Wanna?"
Ave's laughter was no longer unbearable. His shoulders were shaken in Zaid's arms. He really enjoyed the rain of love from Zaid.
"Emang why the hell? If love is to be balanced," he asked in a seductive tone.
"Because my love is greedy, Ve. Once you give me, I'll always take everything. I don't know if I can wait for you for seven months. But if you have to wait, I don't want to break your trust, because of that greed. I don't want to be considered rude by your parents, or your brother-in-law."
Ave said nothing. He chose to close his eyes, enjoying the warm embrace that surrounded him.
Ave knows, Zaid is not greedy. The man had only been hiding for too long behind the snow mountain in his heart. That man may have the wealth and power that every man in the world wants, but he has no one but Zahra and her family. Zaid lonely. He was so lonely that he was not used to receiving warmth. Like a person who is hungry for days, and suddenly gets a table full of delicious food, obviously he will not stop to eat.
In his heart Ave prayed, hoping that time would pass quickly, so that he could as soon as possible complete his mission. Otherwise, let alone the cafe, Ave would also not have been able to marry Zaid. Papa told me that Ave failed, he had to marry Papa's chosen man. Therefore, Ave's determination to be able to get 50 million immediately materialized. He has done everything as hard and fast as possible.
Because like Zaid, Ave is also not sure how to get through these seven months easily. Because now, he knew Zaid was no longer someone else. Zaid is himself, part of the body soul, part of the new world that is beginning to be present, part of his dream.
On a beautiful star-filled night, Ave and Zaid lie by the pool, clutching the sky with smiles still on their backs, falling asleep and beginning to dream... about a future full of love.
