ZNN SHORT STORY: EVERY UNIVERSE

Part 4 || Anegl & Devil: Between Love and Rules: I'm sorry, Nhu

Zee was in his bedroom. He had just cleaned the mattress cover that had been filled with Nunew's vomit and blood. After cleaning everything up, he walked over to the bed and laid down next to Nunew on the bed. He let Nunew lie on his chest while he hugged Nunew's body tightly, which started to stink.
Zee: I'm so sorry, my little Nhu. (While kissing Nunew's forehead.)

Zee was never averse to touching Nunew, even when Nunew's condition was very bad. His skin began to ooze pus and bleed. His vomit also smells bad. However, Zee never minded. He will always give Nunew a very tight and warm hug. He will always give a comforting kiss on Nunew's forehead. He would never let go of his hand because he didn't want to leave Nunew, even for a second.

Earlier, Zee went to see Angel James because he wanted to tell him that Nunew was with him. At first, Zee was attacked by other angels, but luckily, Angel James was able to save him. He came not to cause war, but because it was related to Nunew.

The words expressed by Angel James just now came back to haunt his mind.

'Loving you more deeply will lead him to meet death.'

Tears fell down his cheeks. Then, he looked at Nunew's face and gently caressed Nunew's cheek.
Zee: Your skin is starting to break down but yet you still look pretty and gorgeous to me.
Nunew: ...
Zee: Nhu ... when will you wake up ? Hmm ? I miss your voice ... 
Nunew: ...
Zee: You have been sleeping for a long time ... please wake up ... open your eyes ... talk to me ... smile sweetly like before ... can you ? Hmm ? 
Nunew: .....
Zee: Will we have the same ending like our past lifetime ? Will you leave me again ? Hmm ?
Nunew: ...
Zee: Nhu ... wake up naa ... 

There was no answer from Nunew which made Zee's tears flow quickly. Unknowingly his tears fell gently touching Nunew's eyelids.
Nunew: Hia .. ?

Zee then turned away as soon as he heard Nunew's soft voice. He then hugged Nunew's body tightly while holding back his tears.
Zee: I thought you will leave me, Nhu ...
Nunew: I never leave you, Hia ...
Zee: I love you, Nhu.
Nunew: I love you more.

Zee hugged Nunew's body tightly while gently stroking Nunew's head. Then, he kissed Nunew's forehead warmly. Nunew looked at Zee.
Nunew: Hia ...
Zee: Hmm ?
Nunew: Can you take me for a walk around your castle? I want to see how things are in this palace.
Zee: Hmm ?
Nunew: We can spend time together while walking.
Zee: How can you walk with me ? You are still weak. You need to rest.
Nunew: I can sit on your back and you can fly. I also wonder what it's like to be on those big black wings of yours.
Zee: Are you sure ?
Nunew: Yes, Hia ... Can I ?
Zee: Yes, you can but before that you need to rest first. I will take you this evening. Deal ?
Nunew: Deal.

Zee smiled sweetly at Nunew then he kissed Nunew softly on the lips. Nunew returned the kiss. They kissed each other while hugging each other tightly. Unconsciously, Zee's tears flowed down her cheeks. The tears seemed to be hard to stop because he could feel something bad was about to happen.
Zee: I want you, Nhu. 
Nunew: I know, Hia ...
Zee: Can you survive until the last day ?
Nunew: I will try, Hia. No matter hard it is, I will try so that we can be together.
Zee: What if you can't ?

Nunew looked into Zee's eyes then said, "Stop loving me even in another life because how hard we try, we still fail."

At evening ....

Zee looked at the face of Nunew who was sleeping soundly. He smiled sweetly while gently touching Nunew's shoulder so that NUnew woke up. After 3 times he tried to wake up Nunew, finally Nunew opened both his eyes. Nunew looked at Zee.
Nunew: Hmm ?
Zee: It's evening ... you said you wanna spend time with me ?
Nunew: Hia ...
Zee: Hmm ?
Nunew: It's full moon tonight. Can we stay until midnight ? 
Zee: As your wish, Nhu.
Nunew: I wanna watching the full moon with you.
Zee: Me too. (Then he kissed Nunew's lips)
