Chapter 68
INFATUATED
ZARYA’S POV
“Khal…” I looked down at him. He was sitting on the bench, looking at the Emergency Room.
“Zarya?” He looked around. His eyes were swollen. Perhaps due to over crying. “Where’s Froy and Hali?”
“Hali is in our world and Froy is on the way.” I looked at my side. “He’s Colden, Hali’s brother.”
Khal was so devastated. He could not speak well. He even stood up, moving back and forth while waiting for the doctor to tell her condition.
“Khal, calm down.” I held his head, dragging him to sit down again.
“No worries, Hali will be in charge.” Colden tapped his shoulder.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Khal knew what did he mean, which was why he sat down again. I went on his side. I was not in his condition, but I knew the pain.
“I don’t know what will I do when she will be gone. She’s the only family I have.” Khal hit his head. The tears in his eyes were rolling. This was the first time I saw him crying like this.
I was annoyed with the people passing by. They were looking at Khal as if it was their first time seeing a man who was crying.
“Is that Khal?”
“He’s handsome even if he’s crying.”
“He’s one of the hottest.”
Khal was just ignoring that even though it irritated me. Did they do not see Khal was in a state of awful situation?
My blood boiled too much temperature when the two women went closer. “Hi, Khal. Can we have a picture with you?”
Khal was kind, he was about to get the phone when I spoke. “Can’t you see Khal is also a human? He needs to rest and take a breath?” I raised my eyebrow up. “Get lost when I can still hold my temper.”
“Who are you? Are youー”
“I am his girlfriend. Move your ass off!” I rolled my eyes. They had nothing to do except walk their butt away from us.
“Why did you do that?” A little chuckle came out from Khal. His chuckle was fine to me. At least his attention was converted, a little escape from his sadness.
“They’re annoying.” I gave him a small smile. “Don’t be anxious. You have friends like Hali. He can save your mother.”
“Excuse me?” Colden interrupted us. “I’m hungry. I’ll buy something to eat.”
We both nodded at Colden. I watched him leave.
“Hali’s brother is quite handsome.”
“They are all handsome,” I said with my imagination in my head. “Especially Pyro.”
“Who’s Pyro?”
I went to his ear and whispered. “Alpha King of Fire.” I moved away, leaning my back on the bench. “You’re gonna meet him someday.”
“How many brothers did Hali have?”
“Four: Pyro, Zephyrus, Colden, and Raiden.”
“You know him well, huh?”
“Not that much. They have capabilities I haven’t yet discovered.” I watched my surroundings. There was a hurrying nurse, it seemed like they were in an emergency. “My family didn’t go to the hospital.” I changed the topic. My eyes settled on the nurse who was writing something. “Not until my friend, Serenity, ran to the hospital because of her asthma.”
“Your first time at the hospital?”
“Yeah. chaos was everywhere… We were immortal, a little bruise can heal.”
“I wish I was like you.”
“Don’t. It’s more complicated than you expect.” I grabbed his hand and caressed it through the use of my back. “Trust Hali, he has healing power.”
He nodded his head. I was in shock when he intertwined our hands. He placed it on his right thigh. “I’m glad you are here.”
My eyes were rested on our hands. It was awkward. I could not take it away from him. He needed a friend and I was just the only person here, meaning he could seek strength from me. I did not notice that Colden already come back. His emotion was unusual, gazing at our hands, his forehead was formed in waves, frowning.
“Burger?” Colden offered us the burger and coke in the can. That was the right time to withdraw my hand from him.
“I appreciate it,” I responded to him as I got the burger and coke.
“Thanks, Man,” Khal said. He held my coke first and opened it before him.
“Can you open this also?” Colden’s forehead was wrinkled. I gulped my saliva when I felt tension between them.
“Sure.” Khal gave him a small smile before he opened it.
I gazed at Colden. Why did he request to open it when in fact, he was strong than him?
Colden moved his two eyebrows up when he noticed I was looking at him for so long. “Why?”
“Nothing.” I shook my head from left to right.
It was so awkward, sitting in the middle of two men, only the squabbling of people could be heard. I just ate the burger when it was still hot. It had been a long time since I last eat this.
The doctor came out. Khal immediately stood up and went to him where they discussed his mother’s condition. By reading Khal’s expression, it seemed like her mother was now in good term. He had a sigh of relief while walking to the door. He gazed at us. “Count of three is not allowed inside, only one. Wait for me there.”
“I understand.” I gestured for him to move inside. I wantched him to walk and then the door closed.
“Little by little, you meet a person who will mean something to you.”
I moved my head to the right when Colden talked, he was chewing a small amount of burger.
“Yeah, he’s a friend.”
Colden moved his head in an upright direction. “If he is a friend, what is Hali?”
“A company.” I did not hesitate to answer him.
He nodded his head for the second time. There was a spark in his eyes that I could not name.
“Why are you asking anyway?” I had a little chuckle on my lips when I asked him.
“Because I like you.”
My eyes widened in shock. I calmed down myself. I had no knowledge that Colden was a prank man when it came to what was he thinking. He would say the words in a clear way. No critical thinking, just words that could understand immediately. However, possibly, it would mean like a friend? Or what?
“You mean… a friend?” I was expecting him to answer me ‘yes’ but he shocked me with his words.
“No.” He gazed directly into my eyes. “I am infatuated with you.”
