Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 56 - Tease Me, Don't Lie!

~ Can joke, original do not lie ~

Zaid's heart was beating hard. He doesn't know that his jokes make Ave sick. The girl looked fine, but why did she faint now?

With slightly trembling hands, Zaid examined Ave's face. Although sweating, Ave's face is not too pale. The body temperature is neither hot nor cold.

*But what happened? *

Not wanting to guess, one of Zaid's hands held back and the other was under Ave's legs. He had to take Ave to the doctor.

Only about five steps closer to the exit, Zaid felt Ave's body begin to shake, his shoulders swaying before the girl's clear eyes opened wide and a grin filled her pretty face.

Ave lied!!

Ave chuckled in Zaid's sling. By the time the man was about to lower her, Ave's hands had already wrapped around her neck.

"Emang good to be done? Ha ha ha!"

Zaid's lips are pursed. "You're this... You know I'm panicking! What a kid!"

"Wildamah! It's good to all the people working, he should even play hape aja," Ave sergeant did not want to lose.

Zaid took off the hand that held Ave's legs, making the little girl seem to rely on Zaid.

"Remove you?"

"No!"

"Relatedly? Sure you don't want to leave?" asked Zaid with narrowed eyes. An idea flashed through his head, and as Ave continued to shake his head, Zaid's hands began to tickle Ave's waist. The girl laughed out loud and her hands hanging from Zaid's neck came off.

Zaid wants to avenge Ave. He put on a cold face and pretended to be angry at Ave. He walked into the kitchen, took a glass of water. Although only joking, Zaid's heart was still pounding irregularly due to shock. He must calm down first.

However, Zaid heard the sound of an object falling behind him. Once again Ave collapsed. When Zaid turned around, the girl was already lying on the floor. This time Zaid doesn't want to be fooled again.

"Yes, Ve. Not mempan! Wake up! I know you're just lying" said Zaid casually. But he kept approaching Ave's body.

Ave remained motionless.

Zaid squatted nearby, touching the girl's cheek while shaking it a little. "Ave Iang. Come on, let's get up!"

But Ave remained motionless. His whole body was frozen. For a moment Zaid was silent, watching carefully as he wished for a slight movement. But Ave's body remained silent. Once again, Zaid's heart was pounding hard.

"Ve? Ve? Awake, Ve! Ve, is this really? Ve?" call Zaid repeatedly while lifting Ave's upper body.  Hugging while checking the girl's face. "Ve? Come on. Don't joke anymore! Ve! Avelia!"

Seeing no reaction even after his voice rose, Zaid began to panic. He raised Ave's body again, preparing to take her to the hospital. But...

Just like earlier, once again the body in his carriage trembled and before long a crisp Ave laughter sounded filled the room. Once again Ave managed to work on it.

"Ha ha ha ha. fell in the same hole twice. Ha ha ha ha!"

There was no smile let alone laughter on Zaid's face. Unlike earlier, his cold-turned face looked terrifying. Without saying anything, Zaid lowered Ave and pulled Ave's hand off his neck, before he stepped out towards the back garden. Ave knew, this time Zaid was really angry.

Zaid went out of the house and sat down on a bed chair near the pool. Not leaning. Just sitting upright staring at the lush plants of various colors in the Tamah next to the pool. His chest was up and down because of emotion.

Ave's heart is bad. His intentions were purely to joke. But seeing that Zaid was really angry like that, Ave started to feel guilty. He began to feel outrageous. Slowly he approached his lover.

"Mas Zaiiid, I'm sorry! Ave knew Ave had the wrong joke. Sorry dong!" pinta Ave while standing in front of Zaid.

But Zaid treated him as if he didn't exist. The man didn't budge. Instead he pulled out his phone, busy checking notifications.

"Mas Zaid Iaaang, don't be like this dong! It will not be handsome anymore. Sorry, Mom."

Zaid still speaks a thousand languages.

Unresponsive, Ave sits in the bed next to Zaid. He chose to remain silent, looking for a way to make Zaid forgive him. Just then, his eyes saw something black and white furry moving by the pool. Ave took a closer look, ah it turned out to be a small cat!

"Well, there's a cat!" screeched Ave while approaching the stray cat. While stroking his head, Ave muttered, "you're hungry huh? Mmm... wait a minute! Ave grab some food!"

Ave ran into the kitchen looking for food for the cat. Zaid silently watched Ave's behavior. The girl was only briefly in the kitchen before darting out again while carrying a plate containing pieces of fried fish. Ave crouched down in front of the tiny cat.

Zaid closed his lips in annoyance. Unfortunately, the girl seemed to not care about the presence of Zaid anymore.

"You're alone. Very kasian. Therefore, if you have a boyfriend, do not be told to work. The boyfriend is loved, loved, loved whatever he wants... "

"Meow!" As if understanding Ave's words, the cat began to respond.

"You don't think you're gini. Living alone. Not good, right? Not good, is it?" This time Ave glanced towards Zaid. But Zaid wasn't flinching. It even melengos.

"Meow!"

Ave no longer squatting. He sat cross-legged on the grass. The little cat looked at Ave who then stroked his head. Sometimes the cat goes back to his plate to eat again.

Ave turned towards Zaid. "Mas, can Ave keep this cat?"

Zaid did not answer. It's just grunting.

But Ave just shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, it's still bad." Ave looked back at the cat. "Who's the real boy, Cat? Uh... Ave has to give you a name. Mmm... What's so good? Oh yea! Zabe! Hi Zabe! Zabe's... "

"Meow!"

"Ha ha ha! You like it huh? Yes he likes. Good right? You don't know what that means?" Then Ave glanced at Zaid again still with the tail of his eyes. "... means Zaid ****. Hua ha ha ha!"

Ave laughed so hard that he could not see that Zaid was standing behind him. Before the girl could react, Zaid had already raised his body, bringing the girl inside the house.

"You can keep the cat, but tomorrow I'll keep the monkey!"

Although shocked by Zaid's sudden manner, Ave only laughed as he again extended his hands to Zaid's neck. "Oh yeah? What name do you want to give?"

"A.P.A," spelled Zaid. A smile was seen on his face.

"WHAT? What's the name What the hell? What does that mean?" ask Ave sweet. He was glad that Zaid was no longer angry with him.

Zaid looked at Ave triumphantly. "Avelia A*!" he replied while chuckling, while the girl in his carriage immediately put on a pouting face.

That day, Ave gave up. They spend time relaxing at home. They choose to lean on the sofa of the family room. Watching television, then replacing it with a comedy film before finally playing games. Occasionally Avelia and Zaid took turns taking food or drinks in the kitchen, until the front desk of the sofa was filled with various soft drinks, snack packs and jars containing various cakes. The newly found little cat Avelia fell asleep comfortably on the carpet near the sofa.

In the past, if the house was a mess like this, Zaid would immediately call the janitor as soon as possible. Now, it was no longer a problem for him.

The smell of a mixture of various foods and drinks in front of them tickled Zaid's nose. But he didn't mind. Zaid liked it. This aroma will always remind her of her most beautiful moments with Ave. Like now.

"Ve." whispered Zaid when they were exhausted. The stomach is also full.

The television in front of them was no longer on. The atmosphere was calm again almost without sound. The afternoon sun peeked at the partially covered window with curtains. Ave sat leaning against the sofa, while Zaid lay on his thighs with his eyes closed. Their hands hold each other.

"Next, you can joke, but please don't be like that anymore! Don't lie to me that way again" Zaid said. Slow but firm. His eyes are closed too.

"Why, Mas? Ave was just messing around."

"But I'm really freaking out. It's scary to see you pass out so."

Silent. There's no sound. The silence made Zaid open his eyes. Ave was looking at him. Guilt was visible in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mas. Ave promised it wouldn't be like that anymore" Ave said solemnly.

Zaid smiled, then he nodded while pointing at his lips. Requesting kiss.

Ave's eyes narrowed as he chuckled and the girl lowered her head, something warm and soft-scented soft drink popping over Zaid's lips.

Forgive Ave, Mas, and thank you for always thinking about Ave.
