A week has passed. The wound on the foot is dry. I can walk normally again. It's just, Lee still won't pick up the phone from me. The messages I sent always got no reply. Even I lied to her, gave her an excuse message on behalf of Aksa, still not in reply.
I understand maybe he's disappointed. I was too stupid to keep Gisel in a hotel room. Had it not been for this stupidity, Johan's chance of committing a crime against me would not have happened.
Everything was falling apart because I was too naive. That's what Zidan said. I am too willing to make a decision. Lee or Johan?
All this time I just wanted to do good to anyone who was nice to me. It's just that I forgot about the status I'm holding right now. Widows.
"They should get married soon. Let someone protect us, especially Aksa. Brother Lee is good, but there are still barriers to be able to protect Teteh and Aksa. We Tea Muslims, we can't just live without ties." that's what Zidan said to me when we had tea together, last night.
"How can I accept Lee. He himself never said anything to me." I immediately descended towards Aksa who was playing with Zidan below. He was playing magic sand.
"Lee?" I felt surprised when I saw Lee accompanying Aksa, not Zidan. There is happiness tucked in my heart. My heart beats irregularly when she turns her head and gives a smile, her dimples always make me fall in love.
Is he no longer angry with me?
These footsteps feel light. I saw him but heard nothing. I feel like everything around me is disappearing somewhere. There's only him I can see.
"Tea. Lame." Zidan shook my body. Makes me realize I'm too focused on Lee.
"Yes, why?" my many. These eyes were still focused on Lee. He lowered his head looking at the toy Aksa was holding with a half-sniffled smile at me. Uh! sucks. Does he know I'm so stunned? aahhh .. did he see my face flushed?
"Why Zidan?" i'm turning. But Zidan was no longer near me. I searched every corner. Zidan still does not exist.
I scratched my head that wasn't scratching. Wasn't there Zidan? where'd she go?
"Zidan wants to ask permission to go home a little night. There is a study event that he must follow along with his friends." said Lee. "However, it seems, you are too stunned to see me," he sneered again.
"Sorry." I frowned at his apology. "I didn't pick up the phone or return a message from you. Sorry."
I smile. Relieved, at least he regretted making me anxious for a week.
"I'll take you to dinner, take Aksa too. Wear the clothes I bought." Lee glanced at the golden box with the maroon red ribbon that was on the sofa.
"Wait for the driver who'll pick you up."
"Why driver?" many spontaneous. Lee smiled triumphantly.
"Are we hoping I'll pick you up?" tanyanya scoffing.
"Ah, not that. It's just .. ahhh, that's it. A taxi ride can also. I have a driver, too."
"Get car invitation. Right after the prayer. Don't be late."
Lee turned his body. Approaching Aksa and saying goodbye after peeping my son's crown.
For some reason, when he walked out the door, I felt lost. I don't want him to leave here.
Lee ....
