Chapter 19

"That's it you don't want to know the reason?!" A person shouted to someone in front of him.
"I'm sorry I didn't know that this would happen...." That person said while looking at the ground.
"You're the reason why this is happening. You're so selfish and never think before you ask for some favour!" That person shouted again, the other person was standing up when they heard that person say that.
"You're so stubborn, you're not listening....." That person shouted back at 3 people shouting inside the house while shouting at each other.
The person who was shouting closed his eyes but suddenly saw a face and heard something. "Don't blame others please....." 
                            —
"Say bye to them, Kaizer." Zachary lifted Kaizer. Kaizer turns around to face Zachary's friend.
"Bye-bye!" Kaizer said while waving his hand.
"Bye Kaizer! Come back here when you have free time," they all said. Kaizer just nodded and Zachary carried him to his car.
When they enter Zachary's car, check Kaizer's seat first before he starts driving. "Kaizer," Zachary spoke to call the kid.
"Yes, brother?" Kaizer looked at him while sitting properly.
"Ahmm nothing…" Zachary didn't continue what he wanted to ask because he was afraid that he would slip some words if he continued talking.
"You have a picture of your mother?" Zachary finally thought, What a nice question. He tried to stop himself from opening this topic again but his lips moved without warning and let out that question.
"I don't have, even in our house there's no picture of my mom," Kaizer said. When this topic makes Kaizer stop smiling earlier this time he looks not affected and answers him. 'Why?' Zachary can't help not to ask inside his mind.
"Oh we're here," Zachary said he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. He wishes that he never asked a question like that. He knew that this was hard not only for Keith who knew his wife's face but also for Kaizer growing up without seeing his mother. A child who didn't experience being with the woman who gave birth to him is too hard to accept but here he is smiling and becoming an understanding child like he's okay with it. 
This is also the reason why can understand Kaizer. He knows that feeling but the only difference is his mother is still alive but not showing affection to him while Kaizer's mother died accidentally.
When Zachary came back to his senses he felt that Kaizer was looking at him but the only thing he did was carry him. 
He opened the door and walked toward the front of the gate.
They notice that Keith's car is already parked at the garage when they open it to enter but Zachary is confused why Keith is too early today. It's 3:00 in the afternoon. It's too early for him to go home.
Zachary walks inside the house and starts looking around but he stops when they hear a loud sound like a glass broke.
Zachary slowly put Kaizer down and face him "Stay here. Don't ever go there until I say it's ok?" Kaizer understood him, he nodded and stood at the place where Zachary put him down.
Zachary got his cutter into his pocket and slowly walked toward the kitchen. When he arrived he peeked from the door. He looked around into the kitchen room but he was stunned when he saw someone sitting on the ground while leaning his back into the preparing area. Zachary's eyes moved to that person's hand and his eyes widened when he saw blood flowing from his hand and dripping onto the floor.
Zachary ran in that direction before he grabbed his hand. "What happened?!" Zachary became busy checking his hand while he looked at him, when he saw Zachary he couldn't take his eyes away from him.
Zachary grabbed his hand which was already bleeding. He doesn't know what to do anytime he panics when he has endured he doesn't bother if he will lose some blood but seeing Keith's hand it looks like he wants to pass out because of the nervousness that he feels.
"I can take care of myself." Keith stood up and went to his sink. Zachary looks at the ground and there are many broken plates and some blood. 'What happened to him?' 
"Hey, we need to go to the doctor!" Zachary shouted so worriedly. He also wanted to pull Keith but Keith didn't move to make Zachary stop.
"I'm a doctor." Zachary finally realized. 'He's Right' Zachary tries to calm himself down before his hand holds Keith's arm. Keith stops what he's doing and looks where Zachary's hand is.
"Still you can't treat it properly because your right hand is bleeding. Doctors also need other doctors to heal them! Just give me instructions and I'll be the one who cleans it," Zachary said while holding Keith's hand. This time Keith's aura began to change, and he finally smiled. Zachary feels the ease in his heart, he wants to know what happened but he doesn't want Keith to think of him being annoying because he's walking out of the line.
Zachary pulls Keith to the sofa and Kaizer waits there. "What happened, Dad?" Kaizer asks when they are finally sitting on the sofa.
"The plate slipped in my hand and when I picked it up I realised that I was bleeding." Zachary stared at him. He doesn't look satisfied with his excuses, he can tell that the wound in his hand doesn't look like an accident. He wants to tell me that. 'It looks like you do it on purpose, it looks like you're trying to cut your veins.' But it looks like Zachary's came at the right time if they arrive there at this hour. He was sure that Keith was already lying on the morgue of the hospital.
"Where's your first aid kit?" Zachary asks. He feels something off, he is worried but at the same time confused.
"There." Keith pointed to the drawer in front. Zachary stands up and gets the first aid kit when he gets it and comes back to his side beside him. He is still staring at Keith's face when he notices that Keith's left hand brushing his forehead.
"Are you ok?" Zachary asked. he began to worry again.
"Yes, it's just a headache." When he heard that, He opened the first aid kit and looked for medicine. He's not familiar with the other medicine but he knows a headache medicine that's why when he found out he didn't say a word and stood up from what he was sitting at and went straight to the kitchen to get some water. 
When he comes back he's already holding a glass of water and in his left hand, there is the tablet.
"No need, this is not serious," Keith said. When Zachary offered the medicine to him.
Zachary stared at him. He took at him a minute before he stood in front of Keith to make Keith look at him.
Zachary put down the water on the table after that he stood up properly and held Keith's chin. Keith didn't move but Zachary used his other hand to push the tablet inside of Keith's mouth after that he grabbed the water and let Keith drink it.
"See? You need to take care of your body, aren't you a doctor? Besides Kaizer needs you here no one will take care of him if you have a cold," Zachary said. Keith looked at him with amazement in his eyes; he couldn't believe what Zachary had just done. No one did it for him, that's why it gave him a big impact.
"Thank you," Keith said with a smile. Zachary nods before sitting again beside him 
"So how do I do it?" Zachary asks, he notices that the scratch on his wrists and palm is big.
"Get cotton buds dip it in the betadine and apply it to my palm. After that I put on the bandage," Keith explained. Zachary looks serious while listening to Keith's instructions while nodding to tell him that he understands.
"Dad, are you sure you are ok?" Kaizer asked. This time he already sat beside them while holding the pillow. 
"Yes, change your clothes, son...." Kaizer looked at him again before he obeyed and he walked upstairs. Keith's eyes look at Zachary's face, he can't help but smile when he sees Zachary is slowly dipping the betadine into his wound. Keith started gulping when he started to blow it. Now he can't take his eyes off him but he looks away when he notices that Zachary is finally wearing a bandage so he makes sure Zachary will not find out that he was staring at him earlier.
"Thank you," Keith said again before he cleared his throat and made a fake cough.
"No problem, just don't do that again," Zachary said in a serious tone. He's really worried about this.
Keith chuckled and raised his left hand and put it to Zachary's head. He started to brush it. With that action, Zachary frowns.
"Don't mess my hair, I'm not a child!" Zachary complained before he frowned.
"Still I'm older than you." Keith starts grinning before he grabs the pillow into Zachary's lap and puts it on his own.
"Yes I know, but don't brush my hair like that, it feels like my big brother doing it," Zachary rolls his eyes and Keith looks at him again but he smirks.
"But I like doing it, you look so adorable." Zachary's heart starts pounding fast. Keith finally made fun of him not like before even if he was teasing him.
"I know," Zachary confidently said. Keith's hand is still in Zachary's head. He shakes his head while smiling and suddenly without thinking he slowly slides his hand to the back of Zachary's head and slowly near his face at Zachary's forehead and picks a kiss of it.
Zachary's eyes began to open wide because of Keith's action, and he felt that his body froze from it "I'm sorry," Keith said before looking away. Zachary finally came back to his senses before he sighed.
"Do you regret it?" Zachary whispered before looking down.
"No." Zachary's eyes look back at him trying to read what expression on Keith's face but he can't read it.
"Then don't apologize..... I like it too," he said. Keith was stunned but when Zachary realized what he just said, he was startled, he couldn't believe he said the word inside his mouth out loud.
Zachary wanted to scream because he heard his heartbeat louder than his voice.
"Are you ok?" Keith asks because Zachary can feel that his cheer starts burning.
"H-hmm I-I'm, ok…. I-I n-need to g-go!" Keith wanted to speak but like a flash Zachary disappeared in front of him. Keith's mouth hangs open and looks confused before his eyes look to the entrance of his house.
'Is he embarrassed?'
