I winced and felt dizzy when I opened my eyes. I felt a headache and a slight dizziness. My body is also heavy and my throat seems dry because of thirst.
I gently removed the blanket from my body while my left hand touched my head because it was tingling. I lay down and closed my eyes again. I feel like I can't get up because my body is weak. I noticed that my clothes still hadn't changed.
I tried to remember what happened last night. I got drunk again and I can't remember everything that happened. The last thing I remember is we were walking out of the bar while I was screaming Roven's name while being supported by Melissa and Andrea.
I closed my eyes tightly and slapped my forehead gently. What are you doing again, Miles? I could no longer control myself from drinking. I woke up and faced the white ceiling. The conversation between me and Roven and everything he said came back to my mind. I was slightly stunned and shook my head a few times.
"Finally you're awake now."
I saw Zandy on the side bed, carrying a tray with food. I immediately smelled its fragrance which made me feel even more hungry.
"W-what happened, Zandy?" I asked him. I slowly moved and leaned against the headboard of the bed.
Zandy smiled but immediately became serious. "You need to eat first, Miles, before you ask about what happened and what you did," he said. "Wait for me here," he said, then left in front of me. Later, Zandy also came with a table and placed it on the bed. There he put the hot noodles that were cooked differently. "Eat this to get rid of your hangovers," he said.
I stared at Zandy for a moment. I frowned. Is he serious about what he's doing? Why does he seem to be nice to me now? He cooked me noodles and took care of me. He probably also took care of me last night. I don't know but something in my heart came alive. Joy and happiness appeared in the depths of my heart.
"Are you just going to look at the food, Miles? Go, eat the noodles so you feel better and your body's strength returns," he said, full of concern penetrating my heart.
Even though I was surprised by Zandy's actions, I didn't say anything. I slowly approached the table and took the spoon. I still think about what Zandy did to me. I started eating.
"You, you won't eat?"
Zandy smiled as if it stopped my world. A genuine smile that I rarely see in him. I felt like a robot and couldn't move. Zandy's lips seemed to shine with that smile.
"I'm ok, Miles, just finish your food and take a shower to reduce your hangover. Next time, if you want to drink, drink moderately. It's hard to bring a drunk home," he reminded that there was still a hint of concern.
"Zandy...thank you," I said shyly, then bowed because I couldn't bear to look at his eyes either.
"Alright, Just finish your food. I'm going to leave the room." Zandy stood up and was about to take a step when I spoke so he didn't go through.
"I talked to Roven, Zandy," I began. I don't know why I thought to tell him that. "And he told me that he came back for me," I admitted. I felt frustration and confusion in my mind again.
Zandy slowly faced me. "Why did you say it to me, Miles?" he asked seriously.
"I don't know, Zandy, I don't even know why I'm telling you this. Maybe it's because you're part of our past," I reasoned.
Zandy smiled. "That man, he's planning to come back." He took a breath. "Is that why you got drunk last night because of that man? Miles, don't waste your tears and pain just for him, he's not worthy of your tears even for your attention." There is a hint of concern there but why do I also feel the annoyance in his voice?
I was stunned. I don't know how to feel about what Zandy said.
"What, are you still affected by his return? I just want to remind you one thing, Miles, he left you without his explanation and now he's coming back into your life? Think about it, Miles, if you should go back to him. "
I was stunned until Zandy left the room. I was even more surprised by what he was doing and the gestures he was showing me. Why is he suddenly concerned about me now? Why does it seem like he doesn't want me to go back to Roven? What is his reason? I'm also confused about him.

AFTER I showered, I texted Sir Troy that I wasn't coming to work and he understood what happened because it seemed that Roven had told Sir Troy everything about us.
I went down from my room and found Zandy busy reading a magazine on the sofa. I just passed him and went straight to the kitchen to drink water. Somehow my headache and body weight decreased after I eat hot noodles and take a bath.
While I was drinking, Zandy came right in. Our eyes met but I immediately looked away. I suddenly felt tense and nervous. I also started to feel his presence.
"How are you feeling right now, Miles?"
I couldn't immediately answer Zandy's question. "What feeling are you asking?"
"I mean, is your hangover gone? Are you feeling well right now?" he clarified.
I just looked at him for a moment while he was getting water from the fridge. "Ah! I'm feeling pretty good," I casually replied. "B-by the way, how did I get home last night? Did Melissa and Andrea drive me home?" Even though I was outnumbered, I was forced to face Zandy because of my question.
He was drinking water and I couldn't avoid looking at his Adam's apple that was rising and falling. "Andrea, texted me last night to come to see you somewhere because you're drunk and they don't know your house. So, I'll go there to take you home," he answered after drinking.
I looked away again. So, Zandy picked me up last night and he brought me home. "W-w...thank you, Zandy, and sorry for the trouble," I said quickly as I sat up a little.
"I'm your husband remember and one of my duties is to take care of you especially since someone is coming back to your past." Zandy had a serious face when he said that, then left me alone with my mouth hanging open.
I don't know what to think of what Zandy said but I know he was serious about it. My heart suddenly sped up. I feel like a frog is running in my chest because I can feel my heart beating abnormally again.
Is everything that Zandy is saying and showing me true?
