Synopsis
Suddenly Zeva Adelia, a freelance photographer, got a client who expressed his interest in her after spending a day together on the first day they met. However, without clarifying what their relationship was and only introducing his name as Zero, the next day Zero immediately returned to his country. He left only a trail of his handmade sketch of Zeva's face and a tiny letter asking Zeva to keep her heart's loyalty to him only. Strangely enough, by only communicating via chat, even without video or phone calls, Zeva feels that Zero has succeeded in conquering her heart. Then, can Zeva undergo a status-less relationship and a long-distance relationship with Zero? How long can Zeva endure waiting for Zero to come back for her? Also, how much does Zeva trust Zero's loyalty to her, when there's another girl like 24/7 beside Zero?

"Wait a moment, Dear. I need to take care of Liora for a bit," Zero said reluctantly as he let go of his embrace with Zeva. "Come on, get in the car. You go home first with the driver. I'll follow later. I still have something to discuss with Zeva." "No. How could you be so heartless, Brother? Letting me go home alone? I don’t want to be by myself. I’m scared," Liora refused Zero’s idea. "You won’t be alone, Liora. Auntie is there," Zero reminded her, as if Liora had forgotten. "No, I don’t want to. Auntie is probably already asleep, so I’d still be alone," Liora insisted. "How is it any different if I’m there? You’d still be alone in your room," Zero countered. "But you can stay with me while I sleep," Liora replied confidently. "Auntie can stay with you too, then," Zero offered a solution. "No, that would feel weird. It’s always been you who stays with me," Liora remained firm. "Liora, please, learn to be independent. Just pretend I’m out of town like usual," Zero tried to

“So, he wanna stay here?”“He said so. But… I don’t know.”“Do you doubt him?”“Umm… I just think it’s too forced.”“You’re the one forcing him to stay here?”“Of course not. In fact, I asked him to really think about it through carefully before deciding. But… he’s adamant about staying here. He said it’s because he’s worried about me being alone in a foreign country. But I’ve been here for years.” For once, Zeva spoke this much to Sky.“Years, huh? It’s only been two years, Zev. If this were a job application, you’d still count as a fresh graduate or someone with no experience.” Even though Sky was quite amazed that Zeva was opening up to him again, he didn’t want to waste this moment. So, Sky tried to respond with his usual lame jokes.“Well, what matters is it’s more than a year. Besides, survival skills are honed from birth, not just since we first set foot in a foreign land,” Zeva replied.“But… shouldn’t you be happy?”“Yeah, I’m happy. But… if it’s too forced, I disagree.”“Hmm

"Dear, please look at me! It’ll only be a moment. I promise I’ll come back and stay here."“Don’t make promises about uncertain things,” replied Zeva, without taking her eyes off the laptop screen.“Okay, I’ll prove it. But… do you not want to take me to the airport?”Zeva didn’t respond, but she was still focused on her laptop.“Dear, please, don’t ignore me. I’m about to board a plane, you know. If something happens while I’m on the plane, this might be our last moment together.”Zeva immediately stopped what she was doing, then directed her gaze towards Zero, giving him a sharp look and saying, “Just seconds ago, you said you’d prove it, but now you’re already thinking about leaving me?”“Who said I want to leave you, Dear? It’s quite the opposite. I want to be with you 24/7,” retorted Zero.“If you don’t intend to leave, why are you hoping that something bad happens to the plane you’re on?” Zeva demanded.“That’s not what I meant, Dear. I was just reminding you that unexpected thi

“Where is he? Turn on the camera!” A deep male voice filled Zeva’s quiet room.“Ugh... what’s up with you, Bro? It’s still super early and you’re already mad.” Yes, it was Gamma who called Zeva early in the morning.“I want to see if your boyfriend is still fully dressed or not.” Gamma couldn’t trust any man around Zeva, especially since the two of them were under the same roof—alone, without anyone else.“Well, if you want to see, call Zero directly on his number. Why are you calling me? If you call me, I have to go downstairs and check his room,” Zeva complained.“So, you’re really staying in separate rooms?” Gamma still wanted a valid confirmation.“Of course. Your room is empty, too. Why? Didn’t Zero already ask for permission directly from you to borrow it?”“That Nol guy really knows how to keep his defenses up,” Gamma said, translating Zero’s name to its Indonesian meaning.“Oh right, I have to wake up Zero. We planned to go jogging this morning. Bye, Bro, Sis Runa.” Zeva abrup

"Wah, this couple needs more briefing," Zeva commented after seeing the photo results on her camera. Zeva approached her clients. "Finished, Zev?" the male client asked when Zeva was in front of him. "We need to talk," Zeva said. "Okay, let's go!" responded the male client. "Where to? Let's talk here to save time," Zeva replied. "Oh, okay. Rin, you just rest there, alright?" the male client instructed his partner, pointing to one of the park benches about 18 meters away from where they stood. "Rin? Why suddenly call me by my name?" the girl questioned. "Well, your name is Ririn. Nothing wrong with that," the guy replied. "Well, it's not wrong. But usually, you call me 'Beib,'" Ririn said. "Why, though? It's such a trivial matter to fuss about," the guy remarked. "For you, maybe it's trivial. Fine, from now on, I'll call you by your name," Ririn replied. "Okay, Rama. You just continue with your business. I'm going back to the hotel," Ririn continued and immediately left. "W

"You just finished getting dental veneers?" "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that?" The confusion was evident on Zero's forehead in response to Zeva's question. "Because it's unusual for you to immediately show off your teeth like that." "Unusual? How am I usually then?" Zero felt that the expression he showed was not something rare. "Usually, you flaunt your pillow face. Always sleepy." "Oh, hehe. It's called hard work like a horse, Dear. I have to stay up late." "Working so hard that you forget to sleep, and what do you hope for in the end? Early aging?" Zeva pointed out. "Well, not like that, Dear. I work hard like this for you, you know." "For me? Have I ever asked you to provide for me? No, I've never asked for anything from you," Zeva said, refusing to accept Zero's statement. "Well, not really, Dear. But... I work hard to prepare to provide for you in the future." "You want to turn me into a substitute for a nursing home?" "Well, what's the connection with a nursing

"If you want trouble, don't involve me." Zeva's call successfully stopped Zero in his tracks. "Who's trying to get you into trouble, Dear? We just need to hurry." "We? If you still remember 'we', you shouldn't be pulling me like this." "Dear, sorry, I didn't mean to pull you. I need to check on Liora urgently. There's no time to walk casually. I'm really worried about her." "I understand your worry. Even... I don't mind that you didn't ask whether I'm willing to come or not. But... wherever we're going, we should prioritize being careful. Rushing might not get us there safely, let alone quickly." Not without reason did Zeva reprimand Zero like that. It's because, twice already, they had come close to being hit by cars and bicycles. More precisely, it was Zero who almost got hit because his position was right beside the passing riders. Zeva was surprised as to why Zero seemed to be so indifferent to his own safety. "Dear, sorry for not asking first. Because I really want you to

"Absolutely not. Starting today, I don't want to take you to the airport anymore." "Oh, why are you being so cruel? Come on, dear. It's still a few more hours we can spend together." Zero still tried to persuade Zeva. "I've never wanted to take anyone to the airport. I didn't even want to escort Sis Runa and Bro Gamma. It's just because of you that my feet touch the airport again after so long. Ironically, you are the one being cruel to me by forcing me to do something I dislike." "But why don't you like taking me to the airport?" "Ugh... can't you really pay attention to what I'm saying? It's not just you, but everyone, anyone." "Okay, okay, sorry. So, what's the reason?" Zero was still curious about why Zeva was so against the airport. "See, you don't know anything about me," Zeva responded with her biting words. Hearing Zeva's sarcasm, Zero immediately moved to hold both of Zeva's hands and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. And, with an intense gaze softene

"Don't rush me! I don't like being rushed.""Is it because you dislike rushing activities, or does it depend on who is rushing you?""Both.""Zev, can't we talk calmly?" Zero asked with a hopeful gaze."I have to go back tonight," Zero added."Go back where?""You know the answer, dear," Zero replied, gently stroking Zeva's cheek with his thumb.Yes, Zero was right. Zeva already knew that Zero would go back to Indonesia. However, Zeva still asked because she was grappling with her own thoughts and her small heart. Zeva's heart was not ready to accept the fact that she and Zero would have to do long-distance again."That's why, dear, instead of wasting our time arguing like this, let's spend our remaining time together as much as possible," Zero persuaded."Aren't you angry?""Angry about what?" Zero asked back."You know what I mean.""No.""Are you really not angry?" Zeva asked again, as if uncertain about Zero's answer."I said 'no' to respond to your statement 'you know what I mean

1 - Is it wrong, if I use my heart for anything?
Zeva was propping her chin on her desk while twirling a small letter in the shape of a maple leaf with a stem in her hand. Here are the contents of the letter."Good morning, my photographer. I have to say goodbye. Starting now, your job is only to take care of your heart for me alone. Take a cue from a maple leaf of its loyalty! See you soon!Your Future,Zero"The small letter was originally just a sticky note. However, now the small letter has been laminated with a maple leaf as the background.Why did Zeva keep it like that? Because the little letter was a relic from someone who could now be said to be someone special in her heart, just like a maple leaf. Yes, Zeva happens to be a maple leaf lover.Who would have thought, that special someone was a man who had just met her face-to-face once? Even though it was only the first time, their first meeting immediately became an unforgettable and memorable moment for Zeva.The reason is, they immediately spent the whole day together and ...
