Persist
The Part 28 S 2
"Where do we want to meet the client.
"You should go to the cafe Que. I've booked your desk just left".
"Am I alone this time?". I took a long breath. "I can't do it like you". I said again.
"You've been with me for almost three years. You also always accompany me, this time you will be my assistant". Mila said casually, while I was still thinking about how to do it.
"All right, I'm leaving now". I took the file on Mila's desk.
"Happy duty my beautiful assistant". Mila's laugh came off as soon as she saw my gloomy face.
Working as a wedding organizer is not easy. All this time I was just the one who was following Mila because there was no other job.

Arriving at the cafe I did not find a partner who would become our client. I just saw the woman sitting alone at the table that Mila ordered.
"Excuse me, is it true with Yesi.
"really so. Where's Mila?". asked Yesi with her pretty face.
"Sorry, Mila's on some important business. You can talk everything over with me". I paused for a moment. "Oh yes, my name is Alisha.
"Unfortunately I came here alone without my future husband.
I'm laughing too. We immediately discussed the marriage that Yesi wanted with her pair. I took notes and made sure again several times. This job is so hard for me why Mila is so relaxed for everything.
"When I'm done, can I go?". asked Yesi. Several times he was seen checking his cell phone and watch.
"It has. Thanks for the time".I said to Yesi.
"Sama-sama, I've paid for everything. I'll go first".
For me, Yesi is the perfect person. Beautiful, and humble too. Unfortunately I'm just an ordinary woman who may be boring to men.

"Alisha. Alisha". I looked up when I heard someone calling me.
There's no one. I walked back with a still-wary heart to give a report to Mila.
"Alisha, why did you keep walking when I called you repeatedly".
I saw Zefan who was still sticking with his scolding when he came to see me.
"What's wrong?". I asked him.
"Have you eaten?".
"With my client. Why are you here?". I asked Zefan. This is Mila's office and what's she here for now.
"I've been to your office Mila said you're on assignment".
"Rubber. We'll meet later, I have to work now".
"You should stay with me now, I've asked permission for you". Zefan opened the car door and told me to come in.
"You've always been like this. What do you really want?". I asked Zefan.
Zefan looked at me and looked at me. "You know what I want. I'm.." Zefan paused his sentence. "I want you".
"I'm sure your head just hit something. You don't know me how and why I can move to this town". I threw away my face. Back this heart felt tight. My heart is still adrift with him, where perhaps I can love another.
"I'll find out and I'll accept everything".
"I want to eat spicy noodles".
"I know that". And we laughed. All this time only Zefan didn't know about me.
💝 💝 💝
After I finished reporting to Mila, I went straight back home. No one was waiting for me but I felt more calm and free.
"You don't want me to stop by?" asked Zefan funnyly.
"No, I'm very tired today. You better go home". I said in a flat tone.
"You are like that to me".
I was deliberately acting like this, not because of anything. I just don't want Zefan to have too much hope for me.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired and want to rest.
"I know you don't want me in your house".
"It's not like that".
Zefan gave me a file. "Look at this, I've accepted everything". Zefan directly tancap gas.
I took a deep breath and opened the file. My data and everything about me three years ago. I didn't expect Zefan to do this for me.

My eyes can't be closed. Aqil's face was still milling in my mind. Don't know what to make all this go away. Even to this day I still do not know what Aqil did in Mei and Gama.
"*Hallo Giel".
"Tumben telfon mbak*?". said Giel happily.
I did occasionally call him to ask the store.
"*Mbak, Mr. Aqil often come and look for mbak. Even Mei and her brother had been thrown into prison".
"Is all the cases clear*?".
I just found out that Aqil really did this. I thought he was just talking nonsense to keep me by his side.
"It has. Which makes the more severe the accident case who is it mbak".
Aqil also thought about me and my parents. How bad I am now.
"*Don't let Aqil know about me. Whatever he's doing pretend you don't know".
"Calm down mbak".
"Then it was already. It's late, you should also rest".
"Ok mbak's. Goodnight".
"Night*".
I'm breaking myself down. What I did wrong. I left Aqil for no apparent reason. I still love him to this day. But, does Aqil still feel the same way as me?.
