Persist
The Part 29 S 2
This morning I woke up because someone knocked on my door a few times. With a sleepy face I opened the door.
"Morning". Zefan's screams deafened my ears.
"This morning you went to my house?". I asked Zefan.
"If it wasn't this early, you wouldn't have opened the door for me". Zefan just walked in.
"Today I'm leaving and you're coming".
"Where are you going?" Zefan drank coffee. Maybe he bought it on the ground floor of this apartment.
"Whatever I'm going to go". I went into the room and locked it.
I knew Zefan wouldn't do anything to me, just that I didn't want anything unwanted to happen.
After I finished the shower and changed my clothes. Zefan wasn't there but there was a noise in the kitchen. I peeked, Zefan is cooking this time. I just found out if she can cook. Maybe the first time I'll taste a man's cooking.
"You cook for me?" I aligned myself with Zefan.
"Yes, I just cooked for someone else".
"At least don't poison it". I chuckled, Zefan also laughed.
"You sit down, the cooking is ripe".
I sat down while Zefan prepared the food he made. It smells and looks very good.
I fed him a spoonful of fried rice. "It's so good". I said to Zefan.
Zefan rubbed my head and smiled.
"Why don't you open the restaurant.
"I'm not interested". Zefan sat beside me. "I'll be a chef for you, not anyone else".
"It's still morning. Don't talk about things that make me lazy to eat".
"sorry". Zefan went to the living room. He opened his phone and went back to my side.
"Sorry, in the office a lot of business. I'll go first". Zefan said with an anxious tone.
"Thank you for eating".
This time he came and went into my apartment. From the beginning I did deliberately make excuses so that Zefa never came. I just haven't been able to open my heart yet. The pain and heart that was still attached to him made me endure all the other feelings.

I patted my cheek a few times. I met Mom and Dad in town. They even brought me to eat.
"Don't keep daydreaming Al". said Mama resuscitated my daydream.
"Oh yeah, what are you guys doing in town?". I asked Mama and Papa.
"For a business wedding". Papa said with her face flat. Papa rarely smiles.
"I mean?". I turned to Mama.
Hearing that, I felt myself falling. I didn't think I'd hear this directly from Mama.
"Hopefully the show is smooth Ma". I said slowly. I lowered my head so Mama wouldn't see my face this time.
"For Mama, whatever Aqil does doesn't matter, just don't be fooled by love".
"How are you, are you married now?". asked Papa.
"I haven't thought about it Pa. Still happy myself".I said with a fake smile.
"Ma, Pa, I'm so sorry. I have to go, my boss is already waiting".
"Where do you work?". asked Mama later.
"I work for my aunt Ma, at the wedding organizer.
"Then get excited, be careful on the road". I hugged Mama.
"First Ma". I took my bag and my cell phone and walked out of the restaurant.
What dreams did I have last night until I met them. Even I have to hear Aqil's words. Although a marriage is a business but there must be love. If not where might Aqil agree.

Mila looked at me and surrounded me several times. After that he laughed at all my stories.
"Alisha, want you to go anywhere. If indeed the soul mate must have met". said Mila still with her laugh.
"My intention is to get a solution instead of spicy sambel from your mouth.
"Run and face. There's no point in you avoiding it". Mila looked at me earnestly.
"Ok, I'll try my best. If I'm not strong I'll wave my hand to you".it's my turn to laugh.
"You and Vidi are the same". Mila immediately snatched the file and thrust it at me.
"You're the one who handled this file until the end. You've already started it anyway".
I received the file with an unhappy heart. I guess I'll just keep following him, but now I have to learn from zero again.
"Don't frown that time. Added ugly". Mila tried to make me laugh again.
"I won't smile for you".
"I knew. Iknow". Mila laughed as I grew sullen.
I'll look at this file and study it. "I go first aunt, tomorrow I'm off". I close the door to Mila's room.
"Don't call me aunty.
Mila would rather call out a name. More familiar he said.
