Chapter 196 His story
For a long while, Davi just remained there unmoving since the moment Sei just fell asleep in her shoulder. She was afraid that she might wake him up. It was because for a while now, Davi actually noticed that his movement seemed to turned a bit languid even though she didn’t notice it when they were in the courtyard. Additionally, him, actually dozing off this early was obviously a sign that he might have been so tired.
Due to the thoughts in her head, Davi waited for a long while until she felt Sei’s slow and heavy breathing, indicating that he finally entered the deep sleep state, before she slowly leaned on the couch.
Thus, after a couple of minutes, Zaki in disguised finally walked towards her quietly.
"Miss, are you alright? How about we let him lie?" he softly asked when the girl waved her hand.
"No, I’m fine. I’m afraid he might wake up if we make a move." she replied in a whisper, causing Zaki to just chuckle for a while before he just sighed.
"Sigh... I’m sorry Miss, he didn’t take any proper rest these past days and he didn’t even sleep during our twelve hours trip because of his excitement, haha. So I guess.... his body finally reached its limit and I think he just dozed off like that because he could finally relax now that you’re by his side." He said as he smiled but what he said just made Davi’s face went extremely saddened.
"Why? Why does he need to exhaust himself this much?" she said as she bit her lip.
That moment, seeing the worries and sadness in her eyes made Zaki went speechless. Well, he didn’t expect that she will be saddened this much just because of what he said. And her question just made him look at the sleeping guy in her shoulder before he moved closer to them.
"Miss, I decided to tell you a story about him." He said, causing Davi to look at him with wide eyes.
"But before that, let’s make you both comfortable first. Don’t worry, he won’t wake up because he’s too exhausted." He continued and Davi could only nod at him.
Moment later, Sei was now lying on Davi’s lap. He was still deeply asleep and Davi couldn’t help but just stare at him for a long while before the man across her finally began to talk.
"Let me ask you something first miss, do you believe all those words he said about himself?" Zaki asked with a serious look in his eyes. And upon hearing him, Davi immediately replied him with an absolute "Yes".
Her eyes started brimming intensely, exuding her thirst and desires to know more about her dearest husband. He just wanted to hear his story that she even tolerated the fact that this man across her obviously eavesdropped on them in the courtyard.
"I... I want to know more about him. I want to know everything about him." She then said and her eyes went unbelievably determined again. Causing Zaki to just scratch his neck as he smiled with satisfaction. Well, he realized that there’s no use to hide it anymore. And besides, Zaki understood that the girl just wanted to understand him. He knew that she’s always been wanting to know his story. And most of all, he knew just how bad Sei’s skill in talking that he certainly doubts that he could ever tell the story of his life in more than ten sentences even if it’s her. The fact that he never even once tried telling his experiences to anyone else made Zaki’s head hurts as he imagined Sei telling her only the on point straightforward facts about himself without any details about the hows and whys. That was why Zaki decided to tell her his untold story because apart from helping Sei, he felt that no matter what happens, he has to make this girl understand his situation. And in order for her to do that, he knew that she has to know his story.Thus the next moment, Zaki finally began to talk.
"There’s this seven years old boy..."
