BLESSED | ZICO (ON HOLD)

32 - She Is Your Wife?

Not even giving a chance for Altia to answered, Crush spoke first

"Famous designer? The Alis is your cafe?"

"Wa... daebak!" Penomeco said

Altia POV

After they listen to Lia's explanation, all of them look at me. They are waiting my replied so do I

"Arrr.. ne. It's my sister."

"You also sometimes design their clothes and scarf, right?"

"Ah? Ne. But.. now... I will stop for a while."

Then, we chatted again. I keep myself quiet.

While I wanted to ask Zico to go to the bathroom, Hyejong approached us. She is Penomeco's wife. I was surprised looking at Hyejong and same goes to her. After she greeted me and asked

"Uh?? Why are you here?"

"Hmmm.." when I haven't be able to reply yet

"She is Zico's wife." Penomeco spoke

"Mo?"she was shocked.

After I greeted her, suddenly my phone rang so I rushed to the other place to answer it. Before I left, I asked them leave for a while

Soon, she sat next to her husband Penomeco. She spoke with her unbelieving face

"Zico-ah, she is your wife?"

Zico replied, "Ne."

"Really?"

"Uhmmm.. Wae?"

"Daebak!"

Now everyone turned their head to Hyejong including Peno. So, it make her husband asked

"Wae? Wae? Don't tell me that you also know her?"

She look at her husband before answered

"Ne. I know her."

All of them were surprised. Same goes with Zico. So, he spoke

"Chincha? Chincharu?"

"Uhmm. I know her too well. We work together at the hospital."

Hyejong works as a nurse in the same hospital where Altia works so they always meet there and become a good friend.

After that, it makes Hyejong spoke

"Urghh... I'm jealous. You are so lucky Zico-aa. Trust me."

"Are you really both close?" Zico asked

She nodding and asked back

"Where you guys meet? She didn't tell me about you even once. Ya!! Do you want to keep it secret from us?

"Ani, ani. It just.... (at the same time he talked to himself, "she never talk to anyone about me? Oh Altia, you are so precious. I don't know you really take care and protect me."

Before Zico finishes his word, I come back to them and finally all of us have arrived. So, we continued chatting for another minute. After a few hours, it was only me and Hyejong who sat at the table while everyone went to the beach. So, she asked me

"You'll stay here until tomorrow?"

I shook my head and answered, "Nope. My shift is at 3am."

"Aigoo. It must be hard."

"I know but there's nothing I can do. Gwenchana."

"So, what time do you leave here?"

"Maybe around 1 am."

"With?"

"Taxi I think. I don't want to disturb Zico."

Zico POV

While I was accompany Altia waiting her cab, she spoke

"You don't have to accompany me. I'm okay by myself. You can go with them."

"But I want to. Why?"

"Later people will see us."

I was shocked by Altia's answer. I said to myself, "even now she still thinking about me."

Soon, I said, "Hmm.. alright."

Before I left, I had to say, "Mianhae."

"For what?"

"Hmm... kenyang. I just want to say it."

"You weird."

The reason I said to her like that is because I always had a bad attitude toward her. All this time I thought she agreed to marry me to destroy me but I'm absolutely wrong. Altia is sincere and a very caring person.

"Careful."

"Uhmm..." she softly replied.

After that, I came back and sat with Peno and Hyejong. We start talking to each other

"I'm just still cannot imagine that you (Zico) get married with Altia." Hyejong spoke

"Wei?"

"Ani... I just.. you just so lucky. I swear. Altia is a very nice person."

Zico remains quiet and some goes to Peno.

"You know what? Most of the staff, nurses and the patients really love her. Even though I know how tired she is, she still can show us her smile. You don't know how bad she felt when she cannot save a patient's life. If there's an incident like that, everytime, she will cry. But, not even once she showed herself like that to anyone. She always thinks about others feeling first. If someone treats her badly, she never fights back while she treats that person very well. I think that's why a lot of people like her.

We spent almost 2 hours talking in the resort's cafe. That night, I noticed there are so many things that I don't know about Altia. As I listened to Hyejong's stories, Altia doesn't like to stand out. She prefers to be low-profile.
