Persist
The Part 18
Fried rice. I made some fried rice for breakfast Aqil this time. Even though I'm still hurt by Aqil's wedding, he's still my husband.
"What are you cooking today?". Aqil sat down to eat.
"Your favorite fried rice". I prepared the dishes and water. "Where's May?" I don't see May anywhere.
"He's still sleeping. Let's eat together".
I nodded and ate. Don't know how but I feel good when Aqil invites me to eat.
"Thank Al".
I looked at Aqil. He smiled at me.
"Thanks for what?".
"For everything". Just this time Aqil smiled very gently at me.
"Eat first. You're late for the office".
"Where are you going today?".
"I'm going to the store".
"Will not come to the office?".
"Later to trouble you".
"Tomorrow opening events for my company. Papa believed me".
"It's good to be rich".
"Tomorrow you will come. All this is also thanks to you"., Aqil said. He held my hand.
"Tomorrow I'll come". I let go of Aqil's handrails. "I am first".
I left Aqil alone. I'm afraid my heart went too deep. I'm afraid my heart feels more pain.

A smile was engraved from Nia's lips. Today she came to my flower shop. He said there's something important to talk to me about.
"Tokomu are a lot too".
"Lumayanlah. Let's go in my room".
There was astonishment on Nia's face.
"I just found out your room is this beautiful with lots of flowers decorating it".
"The name is also a flower shop. Shoes are impossible". I served a cup of tea to Nia.
"You didn't come to the office?".
"He asked me but I refused".
"Why?".
"There's another reason, of course. Oh yeah, what are you talking to me about?".
"I'll go with Gama. He has business in another city. You know, I've fallen in love with her".
Hearing that I felt sorry for Nia. Until now Gama has not really considered it to exist.
"Have you told Aqil?".
"It's been almost a week that I haven't worked for Aqil. He's already let me go".
"When will you leave?. And why just tell me".
"I'll be leaving later in the afternoon. I'll tell you often".
We drank each other's tea. Sometimes Nia smiles at me.
"You must fight for Aqil. I know Gama still holds a grudge against you. Unload the lies of May".
I smiled bitterly. I don't know what to react to.
"I have to go. Take care of yourself, yeah". Nia hugged me and left immediately.
He looks happy like he was yesterday. Maybe because he already has his love. Even though I still have to fight.

"I'm tired Mei. We eat at home" I saw Aqil who still faithfully persuaded Mei.
"From yesterday you said you were tired. You eat with Alisha every day. Call me any reason".
I was preparing a strange food. How not, Aqil ate at home with me. I'm not demanding that either.
"May. I was really tired after work. Let's eat with Alisha".
"If you're disturbed, I can eat in the room" I said. I interrupted their conversation. It's not good to hear them arguing over eating.
"good. You just get out of this house". Mei went straight into the dining room.
Aqil. I just smiled and brought back the plates and glasses. I don't know what Aqil will say.
After I finished eating I went back to the kitchen. I don't think there are a lot of dirty dishes and glasses. Bi Ai, she smiled seeing me confused by the dirty stuff.
"Let me just Non". Bi Ai immediately prepared to wash everything.
"Thank you Bi".
There's no other reason for me to stay in the kitchen. I went back to my room. Why did my room turn dark like this. I'm out not turning off the lights.
"Yyyyyyyyy". I shouted quite loudly as a hand clasped me.
"Shhh. Relax, it's me".
Aqils. I recognize that voice. The room was immediately bright as soon as the lights were turned on.
"Why are you here?".
"This is my room too, right?" ask Aqil to me.
"You should be with Mei".
"He was driving his brother to the airport. Home tomorrow".
Also true. Gama is Mei's sister. Why did I forget about Nia. I should have called him by now. I took my phone and typed a name.
"Who are you calling?". Aqil immediately grabbed my phone.
"Return".
"You called who. I'm already in front of you".
"It's none of your business I'm calling anyone. You don't care about me either".
"Hey, you're my wife. I still deserve you".
"I know that. Quick return".
"Say who first".
"More. I'll call him".
Aqil threw my phone onto the sofa and he immediately pushed me.
"No need to call him. Stay with me tonight".
💝💝💝
"So this is what you mean?". Mei said loudly.
"He's also my wife. I have to be fair".
"forget over. If you really love me, drive him out of this house".
I woke up to a noise. I thought there was a guest but it turned out to be Aqil and Mei. They fought back. I let out a breath. All this must be because Aqil slept in my room.
"Cannot be. She's my first wife".
"I'm ready to get out of this house". I'm out still in my pajamas.
"It's good that you're aware". Mei threw away her face as soon as she saw me.
"You're just siri's wife. So, don't be satisfied. Because I'm more entitled". I approached Aqil and hugged his arm.
"You think I'm just gonna leave, right?. I'm out of this house if Aqil moves in too".
"You're playing me?". Mei pointed to herself.
"What are you guys doing?". Aqil wants to mediate me and Mei. But I will continue what I want.
"I'm not playing you. You're the power-mad yourself".
"His turn is for me Aqil". This time Mei was really yelling.
"I'm moving to a flower shop. I don't want you to keep fighting with Mei". I whispered to Aqil and went straight back to my room.
💝💝💝
"What can I do?". Giel's question was immediately said as soon as I entered with various items. I also forgot my suitcase.
"I'm moving here".
"Kok can mbak?". still with the taste of the rough.
"You help me finish all this stuff. Ok".
"Yes, mbak".
Today I closed this flower shop. To clean and reorganize. It's a good thing that this store has two floors, so I can stay on the second floor for a while.
"Want me to buy you some food?" ask Giel.
"No, we'll order food. Are you tired too?".
"Yes the mbak".
We ordered food. After everything was over we were just getting ready to eat. Giel is a tough girl in my opinion.
"You can go home after this Giel".
"But it's not finished yet".
"You take it easy".
I went back alone after Giel left. I need to be independent now. Aqil didn't want me to move here but I insisted. Although Aqil is still angry because I claimed to be a Lili girl but she still cares for me.
