The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 55'S

Bruk!

“Ouch! It hurts!”

Hearing a loud impact and followed by the sound of William's complaint, Zoya flips her body because she is curious about what happened to William.

‘Where is Liam? There's his voice but, how come, there's no one?’ ask Zoya in my heart. The girl frowned while circulating her gaze.

As her eyes catch William's wheelchair but there is no William on it, Zoya rounds her eyes. The girl rolled over to the side of William's bed, then looked down and found William sitting on the floor grimacing in pain.

‘Jeez, did Liam fall?’ ask in the heart.

“Mas, what are you doing down there?” ask Zoya innocently.

Hearing Zoya's annoying-sounding question, William quickly turned his head towards Zoya. She looks at Zoya as Zoya is insensitive to what is going on with her. ‘What did Zoya's question mean just now? Did he not see that I fell?’ william asked inwardly with great anger.

“I'm cosplayed as a ngesot,” says William, sarcasm. The man narrowed his eyes. Finding Zoya who never went down to help him, William annoyedly continued his words, “Of course I fell, Zoya. What else do you think happened?”

“Ups!” cry Zoya. The girl hurriedly got out of bed, intending to help William.

The girl painstakingly helped William get into bed. At first it was a bit difficult because their bed was quite high. However, after trying hard Zoya was finally able to lift William's body and land William's ass on the bed. Zoya then lifted William's leg and placed it on the bed as well. When he was done with it, he asked William to lie down.

“Lay, Mas. Is anyone sick?” ask Zoya to worry.

“My body feels crushed,” replied William.

Zoya pulls out a blanket to cover William's body. William's heart beat twice as fast as usual. He was pounding with a gaze that unconsciously never separated from Zoya's very beautiful face. Even without thick makeup or attractive clothes, according to William Zoya is still a beautiful girl.

Hah, where has William been until he can only realize this now when they have spent months undergoing a household ark?

“You why didn't you ask for my help, anyway, Mas? If you ask for my help, right, I can help you and you won't fall like this,” Zoya said.

Zoya turned her head towards William. Finding William looking at him intensely makes Zoya involuntarily blush. The girl's cheeks suddenly heated up as a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks.

“Mas,” scolds Zoya because it looks like William is daydreaming while looking at her.

Conscious of his daydream William suddenly asked, “Why?”

Hearing Zoya's remark, William glanced at the girl sharply. “You alone are insensitive as a wife. Already knew that your husband was a paralyzed and in pain, but you just kept ignoring me. Do I have to say I need help whenever I want to do something? Why don't you have the initiative to help me?” william asked, scolding Zoya with questions that were quite corrupting.

Zoya scratched her nape. “Sorry, Mom. But next time if you need help, you should just say no prestige,” Zoya replied.

William glanced at Zoya with an annoyed look. “Other times help your husband without me having to blatantly say it,” William said.

Zoya nodded. The girl was confused by William's words, but also felt strange in her heart when she heard the words husband and wife come out of the lips of the man she had just helped up the bed.

After helping William up on the mattress, Zoya also climbed onto the mattress with her body turned back to William. The girl fell asleep in such a position while William kept glancing at her. William kept staring at Zoya's back as if it was fun for him.

The next morning, William who woke up earlier than Zoya widened his eyes when he saw the girl hugging him. Somehow, but now Zoya's body has been clutching William's body very tightly. 

‘Since when did Zoya sleep while hugging me?’ ask William in your heart. She smiled little realizing that Zoya was still not willing to let go of the girl's embrace. William secretly enjoys the warmth of Zoya's embrace which makes him opiate.

William watched Zoya. The girl slept with regular breaths and a smooth snoring. It really looked comfortable and calm as if she was happy to hug William.

If only William could move his body normally, the man would have already returned Zoya's embrace and they could warm each other's bodies with warm hugs between each of them. Unfortunately William's body is mostly paralyzed and unable to be moved so he cannot return Zoya's embrace.

‘Argh, if only I had not been paralyzed I would have embraced Zoya, ' she murmured inwardly. The next second he realized what he had just said so he shook his head forcefully. ‘What did I just think? Why do I want to heal because I can hug Zoya?’

The man continued to look at Zoya's face, studying every curve of Zoya's face from the shape of her eyes, nose, cheeks, to lips. Zoya's tiny lips, somehow she wants to always taste the lips of Zoya who looks adorable.

William, the man, had thought of kissing Zoya's tiny lips because he knew that she would be Zoya's first kiss if she really did that considering Zoya had never dated before. Even Zoya and Damar's relationship is only close.

William shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his head. ‘I thought of what, anyway? Why do I keep imagining the no-no?’ ask William in your heart.

Realizing that there was movement in Zoya's eyelids, William hurriedly closed his eyes again. He doesn't want to get caught looking at Zoya. Where would William's pride be if such a thing happened to him?

While Zoya gasped when she realized what was happening at the moment. He widened his eyes when he realized he was sleeping and hugged William.

‘How can I sleep while hugging Liam?’ ask Zoya in my heart. The girl's cheeks were blushing again. He immediately let go of his embrace and got out of bed. Not wanting to linger too long in a clumsy position, Zoya then ran to the bathroom to hide her embarrassment.

While William opened his eyes again, glancing at Zoya who was running in a storm towards the bathroom.
