Persist
The Part 25
Ever since I got back from the hospital, Mei has been unhappy with Mama. I'm not really looking for refuge with Mama, I just need a friend to keep my mind from messing up.
"Lunch is ready. Do you want to eat here or downstairs with the others?". asked Mama.
"I'll be down in a minute Ma".
"Mama wait downstairs".
I tidied up my clothes and some books that had just accompanied me. Aqil came with his smile.
"Why come here?. I want to eat under". I said to Aqil. Aqil did not say anything and directly hugged me from behind.
"I miss you and our son". Aqil caressed my stomach.
"really?. I want us to take a walk after this, just me and you. I'll say something to Aqil. Because I don't want to be constantly hurt by my own expectations.
"alright. Mei will also be traveling with her sister".
"Then we eat first, Mama's waiting".
I came down with Aqil not long ago Mei came with a less happy face.
"Why are you Mei?". asked Aqil, realizing that Mei was unhappy.
"My brother didn't take me for a walk, you want to take me for a walk".
I close my eyes and hope Aqil says no this time.
"I promised Alisha today". Aqil glanced at me and smiled.
"Good, I can come along then" with her spirit Mei joined the show me and Aqil.
"Then Mama will also come, at home alone is not cool". Mama nudged my hand. "I'll take care of Mei". Mama whispered to me.
"Where's Alisha?". Aqil asked me if I agreed or not.
"It's okay". I'm getting dishes and rice for Aqil. While Mama took a side dish for Aqil.
"Now we eat and prepare for the road". Mama's smile is so bright today.
💝 💝 💝
From the beginning to leave until now until the beach Mei still lulled spoiled on Aqil. Mom and I just walked behind them.
"You sit here first yes, than just walk".
"Thank you Ma".
"Follow them first, you wait here". Mama chased Aqil and said something.
Mei's face that followed behind Mama looked unhappy. Aqil with a serious face immediately approached me.
"You tired?. Why don't you tell me".
I shake my head and smile. "Sit here". I patted the chair next to me.
Aqil. We looked towards the beach. Many tourists and birds are flying free.
"The clouds are beautiful. Fly here and there". Aqil said.
"I also want to be like those birds. Free". I said slowly.
"What do you mean?".
"Why don't you want to divorce me?. Everything you want has been accomplished". I paused for a moment. "Papa's trust, the company you want and your love". I looked at Aqil. "I'm no longer needed to be with you".
"Why are you asking this kind of thing?".
"It's all written in our contract".
"I burned it". Aqil looked away and looked back at me. "You're my wife not because of cons, but because you're for me".
I'm speechless. He never discussed the contract but why he decided unilaterally.
"Listen to me Alisha, no matter what happens you stay for me". Aqil embraces me until Mama and Mei come.
Mei looks so tired from carrying so much stuff. Maybe because Mama told him to.
"I'm tired, baby. Help dong". Mei tried to get closer to Aqil.
"Alisha used to be like this at the same time as Mama, but never complained". Mom smiled at Aqil. "You're now carrying Alisha, she's pregnant with your child".
"Yes Ma, pity Alisha from earlier on the road continues.
💝 💝 💝
Aqil kissed me gently. "You're mine, don't think about getting away from my side". The lirih Aqil.
I'm just smiling. In my heart I feel very happy, for me Aqil has opened the door of his heart even though it has been a little.
"Darling, help me get dong's shirt". Me and Aqil took off hugs as soon as Mei walked in.
"You go back to the room, I'll catch up in a minute".
"Don't be long". Mei shouted from outside our room.
"Finally you were taken back". I said slowly.
"Not my heart". Aqil kissed my lips softly.
Is this a sign that Aqil has started to open his heart to me. If so, I am the happiest person in the world.
"Why are you smiling to yourself?".
Mama's voice broke my daydream. Just because of a kiss I became unconscious for a few seconds.
"Don't daydream a lot, drink the milk first". Mama puts milk for pregnant women on nightstand.
"Mom thank you for everything.
"You look so happy".
"It's all because of Mama".
I hugged Mama and it made Mama smile.
"Mom's coming home today, Mama's gonna keep an eye on you from the outside".
"Yes Ma, thank you for everything".
"Yes darling". Mama rubbed my head slowly. "Take care of yourself and your child, that's the main thing".
"I'm gonna do it, Mama get picked up or go home by herself?".
"Mama's picked up, Mama's driver's down".
"I'll drive you to the front".
Mama only brought a few things, I deliberately drove Mama to the front. I'm afraid Mama lied if she wasn't picked up.
"Mama go home, baby". Mama hugged and kissed my cheek.
"Be careful Mama".
We wave each other's hands. I was still outside until Mama's car disappeared in the front corner of the house. I'm back in. This time I saw Mei was ready to go. Not long Aqil was behind him.
"We go for a walk first, Al, bored at home".
I just kept quiet and kept walking.
"May, you parked the car first". Aqil pulled me into a guest room downstairs.
"What's up?".manyu flat.
"I knew you'd be mad". Aqil looked gently at me. "What do I want to buy?".
"none".
"Do you want to come with me and Mei the way". asked Aqil.
"What am I bothering you. Can I feel happy afterwards?".
"No, I just don't want you to get mad like this".
"Forget over me and have fun with Mei".
I opened the door to get out but Aqil held the door. He pulled me and hugged me.
"Guess what I'm going to tell you".Aqil said slowly in my ear.
"I know".
"What?" aqil whispers.
"You know that I'm Lili, Lili who helped you when you fell off the bike.
Aqil chuckled and tightened his arms at me.
"Take off me and hurry back to Mei, you don't want Mei to be suspicious, do you.
"I know, I know".
Aqil took off her opener and kissed my forehead this time.
"I love you".Aqil whispered later.
I just kept quiet. My heart was like it was about to jump out of place. This is really surprising.
