THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
awkwardness

Two days passed quickly....

After that night awkwardness was present between Zen and Sena.

Just be quiet without a word they talked about while traveling down the desert. Except for a break and a meal, Sena came closer, even though the complexity was present on her face.

Zen remembered about Sena's gaze, aware of the complicated feeling present in his heart. If he was still a human, there would certainly be no rejection when accepting the relationship with Sena.

But now, he was no longer a human, but a demon, a figure that became an enemy to the humans and there was a possibility that the presence of Zen would cause trouble in the future.

It is now the third night in the desert world.

The flame of the bonfire and a piece of grilled meat reflected clearly before each other's eyes.

As usual, without having to wait for Zen to offer food to Sena, he had already cut off one thigh of the ripe Carmalin bird.

Biting quickly, swallowing in a hurry before twenty-two chews so that it made Sena choke.

Zen brought a glass of water that he gave him.

"What are you doing, drink... Eat casually, there's plenty of food here so don't worry."

Sena held Zen's hand as she directed the glass towards her mouth until the water soaked her tiny lips. Seeing that for a moment Zen was stunned because after all he recognized Sena's beautiful beauty.

"Thank you..."

"Yes... You're welcome."

That was all Sena had said for the last two days that Zen could hear back.

But after Sena finished all the pieces of meat in her hands, she immediately went inside the tent, leaving Zen alone in front of the campfire.

This makes Zen frustrated, he cannot deny that there is interest as a man who falls in love with women.

"What am I really doing...." Zen muttered regretfully.

He did not want the awkwardness between them to continue, because in this place Sena became the only interlocutor. It would be very unpleasant if in difficult conditions like now, they were far apart.

"alright. You have to do it, don't be a coward for my selfishness..." Zen gave spirit to himself.

Zen was standing in front of the closed tent, Sena was inside was laying down her body.

"Sena..." Call Zen.

"Yes..." He answered with a surprised voice.

But from behind that shadow Sena immediately stood up and could Zen see if she was tidying up her clothes.

"It's okay, you don't have to come out." Said Zen who knew that Sena was quite busy inside the tent.

"What's Zen ?."

"I'd like to apologize if I said something that made you unhappy."

"You're not wrong, I'm the one who gets carried away by emotions... I should have realized, I'm not the person you really like." Sena replied.

It's about what happened that night. Zen feels wrong for teasing Sena too much, while he remains a coward who cannot reciprocate the feelings of women.

Just like life was when I was Ryan. In reality, he was a loser. Busying yourself in work as an excuse to shy away from the responsibility of marrying Rea.

At that time Ryan was too afraid to give Rea hope to become a family, uncertain future as a low-paid employee and the possibility of a PHK would make Rea miserable.

Regret also comes where Ryan must accept fate, if Rea is betrothed by both parents with successful entrepreneurs who guarantee a future full of happiness and luxury.

There was nothing he could do, just accept the fact resignedly, that his beloved, his beloved woman ended up in the brink with another man.

He did not want those regrets to come back, Zen assured himself that....

"You're wrong Sena, I just thought, if you're with me, your future won't be happy... Because you know, I'm a demon now, no longer human and it's so bad when other people find out about our relationship." Zen replied with a bitter smile.

After Zen explained the turmoil in his heart, Sena suddenly just appeared, she opened the tent and jumped up to hug Zen tightly.

"I don't care about demons or humans, I've fallen in love with you and wish you could understand that." Sena said not to let Zen loose.

Highlighting the eyes, making Zen aware, Sena was really serious about the feelings she showed him.

"If you don't have a problem with me, I'll give you everything you want."

"You have to take responsibility for my feelings, Zen." Sena insisted and did not accept no.

"I'll do it."

"You have to promise."

"I promise."

A smile curvature appeared on Sena's lips, she buried her face in Zen's embrace, too embarrassed to show her happy expression now.

"But Sena...." Zen said hesitantly.

"What ?."

"I don't mean to ruin your mood right now, but...." Confused Zen explained.

"You want me to go ?."

"It's not like that, I'm happy yeah, really happy to get a hug from you, but... If you don't cover your body now, I find it hard to control myself."

Sena who carried the atmosphere and emotions to express feelings, so that she forgot if she was still not dressed.

"Didn't you like it ?."

"It's not a matter of like it or not, because if I'm honest I like it, but I don't want to be considered a bad guy who just expects your body." Zen tried to hold back.

"All right then...."

Somehow Zen who heard Sena's answer was not happy.

Even Sena walked leisurely after taking off her embrace to Zen. At first glance, Zen's eyes can see the curves of the body full of charm that forget to breathe.

Until a while later, Sena walked out, now she was well dressed. Take a place to sit next to Zen and lean his head.

He became nervous, the romantic atmosphere that Zen felt after sixteen years had passed living in Dios' new world had finally come.

"You know Sena, first... Long before I lived in this world, I was in regret." Zen.

"What kind of regret ?."

"My woman married another man, because I was too afraid to make a decision." Complicated smile on Zen's face.

"So are you also afraid of your decision now ?."

"No, I'm not gonna make the same mistake." Zen was sure to answer Sena's question.

Zen did not want the bitterness in the past to happen again. He now has the opportunity to change the fate of a regretful love story and convince himself to live a happy life as he wishes.

Although it will be very difficult and full of struggle, Zen will do everything, even if it means he is against the whole world, all for Sena's sake.
