Chapter 27 - The Sexiest of Man: His Panic

One hour seemed long for Zen. Waiting outside while his future wife inside with his stepbrother kills him slowly. But in the end, Devan came out before an hour had passed. He looked at Devan with a sharp gaze. Meanwhile, Devan also did the same.

"Tsk! Was it your intention to make someone else's daughter pregnant again?" Devan sneered.

"At least Daisy wants to marry me instead of Kanya," Zen replied. Remembering the past made Zen feel sick. Because Kanya used to prefer Devan even though in the end they didn't become together. Besides, Kanya only wanted Zen's money.

"Listen, I will always be there for her," said Devan then left Zen just like that.

After a small, hateful conversation, Zen entered with his hands clenched into fists. He looked at Daisy who was still lying weak. It was as if he wanted to reveal the secret. Yes, Zen heard it all, but it was too stiff for him at a time like this.

"Sorry to worry you," said Daisy, opening the sentence.

"Just rest, Daisy."

"I know you're angry, Zen. What happened today, I won't repeat it." Zen was silent, not replying to Daisy's words. He was angry, annoyed and wanted to lock Daisy up. But he held it in knowing that Daisy wasn't feeling very well at the moment.

After arriving at the apartment, Zen told Daisy to rest. But Zen was still silent because he was still struggling with his feelings of anger. There is a feeling of jealousy in Zen knowing that the person Daisy met is Devan. Wanted to be angry but Zen held back his emotions.

Seeing Zen's movement, of course, Daisy felt strange. She then stood up and approached Zen who was sitting pensively in his room. Daisy opened the Zen door wide which was half closed earlier. Until Zen was surprised to see Daisy's arrival.

"Zen..."

"I have to go," Zen said later. He grabbed his leather jacket and car keys.

"Wh-where are you going?" Daisy asked, quivering. Zen stopped in his tracks and looked at Daisy.

"You go to bed early. I'm a third of the morning."

After that Zen immediately closed his apartment and locked it. Daisy burst into tears at Zen's response and her body shook violently.

Deciding to stay at Dito's house was the best solution. Zen needed to release his emotions elsewhere than in the apartment where Daisy was in. He drank a lot of beer to recover his mind.

Dito himself has no problem with Zen staying at his house. He did his best to help his friend. But for him, leaving Daisy in a weak state of pregnancy was the worst path.

"You better go home early, Zen," said Dito.

"Why?"

"Aren't you worried about Daisy? She's weak, Zen."

Zen just stayed silent and stared at his beer can in disbelief. He knows what he's doing. But also Daisy's fault for daring to meet Devan behind his back.

Dito finally left Zen and let him reflect in his room alone. Meanwhile, Dito tries to contact Daisy to confirm Daisy's condition.

"Hello, Daisy?" said Dito.

"Hello, who is it?" Dito heard Daisy's voice shaking. Like she has been crying.

"This is Dito, Daisy," answered Dito.

"Oh, Dito... what's wrong?"

"I just wanted to let you know, but you shouldn't tell Zen. He's at my house. Maybe you guys are in trouble, but he's safe here," he explained.

Daisy sighed as if she was relieved to hear Dito's announcement. "Thanks for the info."

"You are okay, right?"

Daisy just nodded even though Dito didn't see her. "Yeah, Dit. I'm... fine."

"Okay, then I'll close, good night Daisy."

Zen returned to his apartment at three in the morning. He was surprised to see Daisy asleep on his bed. He looked at Daisy's face which was pale because she was still sick, it made Zen feel pain. He has the heart to silence Daisy, but Zen was already so emotional that he couldn't help but leave Daisy for a while to vent his emotions.

After making sure Daisy wake up on her return, Zen finally sat on the living room sofa until he fell asleep on it.

As usual, the smell of cooking entered Zen's nostrils and woke him up. He was a little surprised because his body was wrapped in a sleeping blanket. He thought it must be Daisy who put it on. He looked at the kitchen and saw Daisy was cooking something.

"Hi," said Daisy, who was busy putting her cooking on the dining table. Zen looked at Daisy's way of speaking that sounded so cheerful. While he was feeling dizzy because of too much beer that went into his stomach.

"I have made warm ginger water, can you drink it?" said Daisy again. Zen saw Daisy was already so beautiful with light makeup. Looks charming and sexy. Instantly Zen's heart skipped a beat. He immediately stood up and followed Daisy's movements until she was completely locked.

"What's this? Why do you look cheerful?" Zen asked in his deep voice.

Daisy is nervous. His expression immediately disappeared, replaced with the fear that Zen usually displayed.

"You have to drink ginger water, Zen. I'm also hungry and have to... eat," said Daisy who then managed to escape from Zen.

Zen sat at the dining table, following Daisy who also started to prepare the rice and side dishes on Zen's plate. For a moment Zen felt strange about Daisy. He had to pay close attention to Daisy. He doesn't know what Daisy is planning, it makes Zen think.

Daisy only ate two tablespoons. After that, she felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom. Automatically Zen immediately followed suit and panicked a little.

"Are you all right?" asked Zen holding Daisy's back.

Daisy shook her head weakly. "I thought I was fine after nausea went away. But... it's coming back. It doesn't feel good."

Zen suddenly carried Daisy after hearing that. It made Daisy startled and screamed a little in surprise. Zen finally carried Daisy over to the sofa to lie down on it. He grabbed the blanket and covered Daisy's body. "I'm fine, Zen," Daisy said.

Zen just shook his head and he tried to contact someone in front of Daisy. Aen contacted someone to find a woman to accompany Daisy.

"Zen!" Daisy exclaimed in annoyance. She saw Zen's panic that made Daisy very annoyed to see him acting too much. Zen immediately looked at Daisy after Daisy's tone rose like that.

"I'm fine, Zen," Daisy said later.

Zen immediately sat up and lowered his head. He was panicking and exaggerating, but it was all because he didn't want to see Daisy weak in front of his eyes again. "Sorry... I was just worried once," Zen said later. Daisy's eyes immediately dimmed, she then grabbed Zen's cheek and touched it gently.

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about that. Okay? I don't need that nurse or woman you said earlier, I just need... you."
