Zee stared at the reflection of the mirror in front of him that displayed his face.
'***--***.'
'You deserve to die!'
'What are you waiting for?'
'Until when?'
Zee washed his face in the sink as the strange noises returned to his ears. His breath was breathless, and slowly calmed back down. He looked at his reflection in front of the mirror.
His memory began to spin as he sat on the bench of High School. Precisely on events that incised the past that he could not change in the slightest. Various insults he heard from various mouths thrown for him. An event that passed a year ago. However, the pain and shadow were still as painful as yesterday. Zee's tears spilled just like that but without any sobbing.
His hand took something in the drawer. A Cutter. Slowly he slashed his hand to make a wound and bleed. Every scratch on his hand every single time his heart felt a sense of relief.
He did the same thing to his thighs. Again and again, each time he incised wounds on his body, a feeling of relief again approached him. Zee let the wound bleed. He took off all his clothes and soaked in the bath with warm water to let the water remove the blood from his body.
A few minutes he moved from the bathup after soaking in the warm water until his skin shriveled. Zee washed his body with a shower and put on his towel and took his long clothes. His hand opened the medicine cabinet and applied betadine to his wound, then took the hansaplas to cover it. After his wound was completely covered with hansaplas, he put on his clothes. This has been his routine for over a year.
Zee exited the walk in closet after finishing. Walk towards the nightstand drawer to pick up the medicine and drink it. He laid down his body and slept.
'Honey, I know you like this too, right?' ask a man who is looking at a girl's neck.
The girl under his body rebelled and pushed as hard as her huge body strength. When the girl broke free from the support of the man in front of her and was about to run, her hair was attracted by the man's big hand. Then the man's hands floated slapping his cheeks.
The girl could only cry as hard as she could and rebelled again by biting the hand of the man clutching her chin making her complain in pain. The girl then*run to the corner of the room with the rest of the energy she had. The man in front of her approached her with slow steps. It frightened her and in her heart, she hoped someone would help her.
'Trust me you'll like Zee*.'
Zee was aghast from his sleep with gasping breath. His body was bathed in sweat. He woke up from his sleep and held his head. Her tears involuntarily came out when she fell asleep. Every time he cried after that, he no longer cried. Only tears came out of his eyes without a single puff. His voice seemed to have disappeared completely for his cries.
Zee took in his breath which felt crowded with mucus. He wiped his tears and rested his head on the head of the bed. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand at 11 o'clock. 50 P.M. His interest in sleep was lost to the dream. He chose to get out of his bed and out of the room to the balcony. Cold air directly hit his skin which was only covered in sweeter and long sleeping pants.
Zee sits on a chair staring at the bright skyline of London in the middle of the night. The sky tonight is quite filled with stars, and the crescent moon that adorns the night. The atmosphere of the city still seemed crowded even though it was almost midnight. He again breathed. The piercing cold air sent Zee back into his room. As he was about to fall asleep again, his phone rang signaling an incoming call.
"Hello, Pi," Zee said cheerfully.
"Hello, Honey. How are you?" ask the father in his tired voice.
"Zee good, Pi. What is Papi there? Is Papi done with work?" ask Zee streak.
His papa chuckled there and replied, "But sweetheart well. It's lunchtime so papi's your phone."
"But have eaten?" zee asked back after a long silence.
"Not yet, this is just going to. Have you eaten?" The father asked back.
"Udah, Pi. Papi take care of his health there, "Zee's advice gently reminds his papi not to eat late. Since her mother died, her papa became a workaholic person until she forgot to eat. Zee is reminded because he did not want anything to happen to his papa after his mother left him when he was 12 years old.
"Yes, Honey. You also take care of your health there, now you rest. Isn't it midnight there?" his papa again advised the one at the end of the question.
"Yes this will, yaudah bye papi Love you."
"Love you too sweatheart." The call was interrupted after her father switched off the connection.
Mood Zee came back up after hearing the voice of her papi. He laid down his body and fell back asleep with a smile on his face.
Mentari was already overhead, but Zee was still not disturbed in his sleep. Because of the weekend, she can be free from sleep disturbances from Kyra who always wake her up. Kyra is already well memorized by the behavior of Zee who will hibernate until noon if the weekend. Therefore, Kyra will not wake Zee if Zee has not left the room.
13.15 p.m
Zee finally woke up from her sleep. Her lion-like hair made her look ridiculous. His stomach continued to sound until he woke up. Finally he came out of the room half-conscious, opened the refrigerator, took the cold water in it, and poured it into a glass, then gulped it down to the toilet. Zee re-opened the refrigerator to keep a bottle of drinking water. After closing the refrigerator again, his eyes caught a note attached to the refrigerator door.
'Zee I'm dating Aidan. If you want to eat, I'm ready at the dinner table. You stay in the microwave if it's cold.'
- Kyra love Zee
Such was the message written on the note written by Kyra. Zee opened the food cover and put the food in the microwave. Zee waited patiently in front of the microwave until a loud thud from the microwave rang out.
Amidst the sense of boredom waiting, the sound of Apartment Zee bell rang. He frowned, wondering, who is visiting this broad daylight. If Kyra's gone home there's no way she's ringing the bell.
With a gontai step, Zee approached the door and opened it. When he opened, there was no one outside, only a package lying at his door. Without a second thought, he brought the package inside after turning towards the left right aisle that nobody could see. Amidst the confusion, the sound of a microwave sound that ripped Zee's mind. His essence turned to the food he heated. The package he left on the living room sofa just like that he did not care. Zee took a plate containing spaghetti carbonara that smelled distinctive.
The aroma of spaghetti makes his stomach sound again asking to be filled. Unacquainted Zee took a fork and ate it until it was gone. 10 minutes of spaghetti had entered his stomach and began to digest. He rubbed his mouth after drinking and leaned his body on the dining chair after he was full. The sound of the apartment door opening makes Zee's attention towards the door featuring Kyra and Aidan who have just returned home.
"Hi Zee!" greet Aidan and open the refrigerator, pick up a can of soda.
"Hi Dan." Zee rested his body on the dining table.
"Zee whose package is this?" kyra asked, turning back the package in her hand. Zee shrugged his shoulders indifferently answering Kyra's question.
Kyra unpacked the package and looked at the contents. Kyra gasps when she sees the contents of the package making Zee join the kepo on the contents of the package. High heels. Boring, Zee thought. Kyra is so happy to see the beautiful shoes and elegant looks luxurious.
"This must be from a secret admirer of lo Zee!" exclamation Kyra.
"What's ga creepy, Ra?" ask Zee while shivering in horror.
"What is creepy? This is clearly from your secret admirer!" Kyra's Refutation.
Kyra is very strict and fierce to people she does not know. However, his mind was sometimes narrow and his emotions were as unstable as a child. Zee does look like a kid, but her attitude and thoughts are broader than Kyra's.
"Sok tau," said Zee briefly. Kyra glared when she heard it.
"Ra who is said to be Zee Bener, who knows it from a stalker who has bad intentions with one of you. It's better to waste it or love the cake," said Aidan spoke up.
"Oh but the shoes are pretty. Time banished?" His eyes began to show a twinkle of hope.
"I buyin, huh?" Kyra smiled then took off her shoes and approached Aidan with a smile.
"Love you!" kyra said as she kissed Aidan on the cheek. Aidan delicates with Kyra's words, but unobtrusively hugs Kyra affectionately.
Zee breezed away while carrying a package containing the shoes and threw them in the trash. He eventually returned to his room and opted for the sport with a trade mill on the balcony of his room.
