His only wish

Liar… liar… liar…

The word she said repeated like a powerful echo in Zaki's head. He was so stunned that he couldn't even speak anymore. He had made sure to hide his emotions, to make her believe him without any doubt, so why? Could it be that she saw through his façade? 

While Zaki was dumbstruck, Hinari finally moved and she held Zaki's face. 

"Listen Zaki, my love, even if you tell me you hated me, I still wouldn't leave you. I will stay beside you no matter what. I know that you are lying. I know why you're doing this. So no matter what you say I will never leave. Never!"

Just as those words lefts Hinari's mouth, Zaki's eyes widened. He looked like he just heard a certain implausible news and he suddenly gripped her shoulders.

"You… you… you know? W-what do you know?" he stammered. The emotions he hid so well a moment ago were now overflowing like a dam that suddenly burst open.
