TWILIGHT
131

Arriving at the hotel, Marko and Zia went straight to their respective rooms. They should pack up soon because tomorrow they have to return to Jakarta by morning flight.

Zia's room light was dead, there was a small lamp beside her bed that was still on. His eyes had not been closed, his mind was re-remembering the senseless incident when Marko touched his lips.

"No! Guessing her feelings just doesn't deserve me!"

Zia cursed herself by patting her forehead and both cheeks. I hope what he thinks is gone.

But he went back to silence, trying to make peace with his heart and mind.

Undeniably, his heart was beating so fast. Although very stressful for him, Marko's treatment is enough to make his heart very touched.

"No, Zi! Don't think too much! this feeling of yours only leads you to a wound that you can't necessarily treat."

Zia tried to throw away her thoughts and began to close her eyes to sleep.

***********

From morning until reaching home in Jakarta, Marko suddenly became another person. Usually he always talked a lot or joked, but different from today.

Not only did Zia feel that way, but Johan felt it too.

"Mother Idah, Mr Marko didn't have lunch?" ask Zia, because she didn't see Marko at the dinner table.

"I've knocked but there's no answer, ma'am. Let's look inside Marko's den."

"Ah, where dare I ma'am. I usually get Mr. Marko up from the door." Reject Zia. "Is it possible to be tired, Mom? so sleep's really good."

"Maybe it's Mama. We'll tell you first mbak, later if the laper surely den Marko will ask to the kitchen."

"Yes, Miss Idah. Then I'll take a break for a while, ma'am." Zia leaves Idah to return to her room.

Zia lay down on her bed, and last night she only slept for a few hours. Just as he wanted to close his eyes, his phone rang briefly. There's a whatshapp message coming in from Marko.

'Zi, please bring my lunch to the room.'

Despite complaining Zia stood up and went out of the room to the kitchen. Miss Idah just finished the dinner table.

"Mother Idah, Mr. Marko asked to take his lunch to the room." Zia conveys Marko's message.

"Good, mbak. I'll prepare first." Said Ms. Idah.

Zia waited for Miss Idah to mix Marko's lunch on the plate.

"Mak Zia brought this to Marko's den?" Ask Idah.

"yes, ma'am." Zia answered with pouting lips.

Idah seemed to be smiling for a while

"Why is Miss Idah smiling?" Ask Zia.

"When do I smile, ma'am?" Idah.

Zia was silent and did not argue

"It's mbak, it's already."

Zia picked up a tray of rice and a glass of water to take with her to Marko's room. "Thank you, Miss Idah."

Zia leaves the kitchen and goes to Marko's room, confused that she can't knock on his door.

"Sir, I brought Zia your lunch." Zia.

"Come in, Zi." There was a sound coming from inside the room.

Zia opened the door carefully and slowly walked into Marko's room. Marko was still lying under his blanket and Zia approached him.

Marko did not open his eyes even though Zia was already beside him. Around Marko's forehead there was a lot of cold sweat.

"Sir, are you not feeling well?" Zia ensure.

Marko just kept quiet.

Zia placed the tray containing Marko's lunch on a small table beside Marko's bed.

"Master?"

Zia hesitated to touch Marko, but Marko did not answer his question either.

"Sir forgive my impoliteness." Zia then touched Marko's forehead.

"God! So hot!" Screeched Zia

"Zi!" Marko called Zia down.

"Yes, sir?"

"Gue's sick." Her speech.

"Yes, I know. I'll have Idah call your doctor, sir."

Marko shook his head, He opened his eyes and then squinted because of the glare with the sunlight coming through the window of his room. Zia quickly closed some of Marko's window curtains.

"Please take me the same cold medicine as an angel tea." Marko.

Zia nodded and went to the kitchen. Nobody in the kitchen, he made his own tea. After making the tea, Zia did not forget to take the cold medicine in the medicine box and a small towel then brought it back to Marko.

Marko was already sitting and leaning on the headboard of the bed. Zia put the luggage next to the tray.

"You'd better eat first, sir" said Zia.

Marko nodded and took the plate beside him. Little by little he ate rice and side dishes that Zia brought.

"Udah, Zi." Marko's back on his plate.

Zia can not force, himself if sick also not tasteful to eat.

Marko immediately took the medicine that Zia had provided and took it. Marko smiled looking at the expression on Zia's extremely tense face looking at him.

"Lo why?" Ask Marko.

"I'm sorry, because of me you had to rain overnight and get sick like this." Zia replied regretfully.

"Lo want to poach your guilt?" Marko laid his body back.

"sit there, keep me up until I wake up." Marko pointed to the table and the two chairs that were right in the window of his room.

"Good sir. Please rest." Zia immediately sat down on the chair Marko had appointed.

Zia saw that Marko had closed his eyes, He also enjoyed sitting in his current place. The large window beside it can make him see the front yard of the house and street housing complex.

The weather outside is very bright, the sound of birds connecting with each other. The sound of friction of leaf leaves that were buffeted by the wind became the sound of nature lullabies that were very precise at this time.

Zia began to get carried away, her drowsiness really could not be held back. The gentle touch of the small wind wind brought him into his subconscious.

Zia felt very calm and comfortable. But the comfort was disturbed when the reflection of light penetrated into his eyes, and several times a black flash blocked the light. I don't want Zia to open her eyes.

He yawned a little, but did not make him immediately lift his head from the table. He raised his hand to dispel the afternoon sunlight that was shining down on his face. He plays his hands.

"It's so relaxing to live?"

Zia was surprised by the voice, He raised his head and saw Marko already sitting leaning on his front seat.

He realized that he was in Marko's room and he could fall asleep.

"Can you usually sleep in a guy's room? Good thing I'm a good guy."

"I'm sorry sir. I don't intend to fall asleep." Zia was very embarrassed and regretful.

"Lo told you to take care of me, uh so I'm the one who keeps elo." Marko Protest.

Zia silently bowed not daring to answer.

"A long time to sleep" Marko protested again.

Zia looked at the watch in her hand, She was wide-eyed when she saw the clock almost pointing at the number five.

"Gue until I've finished the bath, Zi. Elo I'm still chirping." Marko pulled Zia's shoulder shirt.

"Are you better, sir?" Ask Zia.

Marko. "Udah."

"Then, excuse me to come out, sir."

"Eits! Who told you to leave?" Ask Marko.

Zia put her ass back on the chair.

Marko looked at Zia sharply, "Zi, don't you feel sorry to see me?" Ask Marko.

"Kasian?" Zia clarified Marko's question.

Marko nodded and Zia shook her head.

"Well, Lo Zi is bad. I'm not the same as me." Marko.

"I think your life is more perfect than mine, sir. So I'm confused to find out where I should handle you?" Said Zia.

Marko snorted in annoyance.

"More perfect nutmeg lo!?" Cetus Marko's. "Both of my parents are not there, I have no siblings, have one friend in prison, the other is broken heart. Every day I take care of myself, when I'm sick, no one takes care of me. I'm alone again, Zi. You don't pity?"

"Oooh, yes sir. I'm sorry I just realized that your life is less than lucky." Said Zia.

Marko stared lazily at Zia, "You don't have to be clear about Zi. Say Aja you pity that too."

"Sorry, sir. Yeah, I pity you."

Marko straightened his seat, he put both his hands on the table.

"You pity me, don't you take care of me every day?" Ask Marko.

Zia frowned, "Aren't we all here in charge of taking care of all your needs, sir?"

Marko thought for a moment, "Yes too? But that's not what I meant. You take care of me inside out?"

"Well! Sorry sir, I'm not that kind of woman!" Reject Zia, He stood up from his seat. "Please don't misinterpret my duties."

Marko stood up and pulled both hands of Zia and Zia tried to let go but could not.

"Zi! What the hell are you thinking?"

At once Zia was silent and looked at Marko. It seems he misinterpreted something.

"then what do you mean, sir?" ask Zia.

"Gue's looking forward to being my wife, Zi! Your brain is everywhere." Marko replied annoyed.

Zia was silent
