Persist
The Part 30 S 2
I came out after discussing some things at Mila's house, Vidi was there too. I even thought it was only 4pm that it was almost eight o'clock.
After ordering the taxi I sat at the bus stop to wait. Until a car stopped right in front of me.
"Alisha?". The man dropped off his car and called me several times.
I saw Aqil there. I picked up the bag beside me and walked away. I feel unlucky today.
"Alisha wait for me". Aqil said.he even left his car to chase after me.
I didn't look at it one bit, I didn't want to go back and get hurt.
"Alisha". Aqil pulled my hand.
"Sorry, I have to go".Fortunate taxis I ordered came.
Without ba bi ma'am I got straight into the car. Even Aqil still chased after as much as he could. I set my breath so my heart wouldn't beat too fast.

My head was dizzy and felt like I was going round and round. I took medicine to ease the pain I felt. I was still thinking about how Aqil could know I was here. I know Aqil and her parents aren't very close. How could he know from Papa and Mama.
Geck, tok, tok. My footsteps were immediately fixed at the door when I heard several knocking. I opened the door, Zefan there with a box.
"It's late, why are you here?". I asked Zefan directly.
"Stupid, I'm here obviously for you". Zefan entered without my consent.
"Not good with the others. It's night.
"Calm down, I'll go after you eat". Zefan opened the box. He bought me pasta.
"Are you kidding me?, I don't like pasta. I'm really allergic.
"You don't appreciate me". Zefan's face immediately looked gloomy.
"That's not what I mean, I'm allergic to seafood". I sat next to Zefan.
"You didn't tell me". Zefan said with a strange face.
"You didn't ask". I said, and it made Zefan laugh.
"All right, I'll eat". Zefan immediately ate the pasta greedily.
After finishing eating Zefan immediately paid off to go home. He also felt bad for the others.
"Don't forget dinner". Zefan rubbed my head before leaving.
"I know what I'm doing.
After Zefan left I went back in and laid down my body. My head still feels so dizzy.

"You don't think I know". Vidi ticked my head.
"What do you know?". I asked him.
"I wouldn't have said it if you hadn't been honest with me".
"That's the name you want to know".
Today I was going on a vacation with Vidi. To me he's the only family I have now. I just found out that Vidi is the last sister of my mother. Others don't even want to know me.
"What exactly is your relationship with Zefan?". asked Vidi suddenly.
"You already know my answer is no, why ask".
"Al, try to open your heart to others. Anyway, I don't want you to get hurt all the time".
"I'm trying. Life is so monotonous".I said with a smile.
"You going to watch?". asked Vidi later.
"OKs".
"Kaya gini yes the fate is single". I said slowly.
"Who says I'm single". Vidi yelled in my ear.
"I know, I said it to myself".
Until someone greeted me very warmly, when we had only met once.
"You here?". Yesi approached me. "He's your boyfriend?" ask again.
"He's my uncle, you're here too?".
Yesi nodded, we walked in tandem.
"It's the first time I've gone with my future husband, where maybe I wasted it.
"Your heart is very happy for sure". I said to Yesi.
"This is where I'm just a statue?". Vidi interrupted my conversation with Yesi.
"Of course not uncle".Yesi said still in his cheerful tone.
"Don't call me uncle, just call me Vidi".
"OK, Vidi".
We talked long enough. I think Yesi's a hard-going person, but she's nice to tell.
"I'm looking for you and you're here".
I know that voice, Aqil. I turned my head and saw Aqil standing with a cold drink in her hand.
"I'm sorry". Yesi approached and directly held Aqil's hand.
Aqil didn't even realize I was there. Before Aqil realized, I had already pulled Vidi's hand which was still gawking.
"Wait Al. Introduce me first, this is my future husband. Aqils". Yesi said to me and Vidi. "Aqil, this is my friend who also helped with our marriage. Alisha". said Yesi again.
"Hello Mr. Aqil, I'm Alisha. I can't possibly make Yesi feel awkward with me and Aqil.
"I'm Vidi Alisha's mom.
"Aqil". Vidi shook hands as Aqil mentioned his name.
"Then I'm the same Vidi came in first huh". I pulled Vidi from there.
In the cinema, I was silent. I don't know if I should be next to Aqil. Sometimes he looks at me but no words are said.
"i'm out first yeah". My whisper to Vidi.
"Slip". Vidi held up her thumb.
"Sorry, you're going home by yourself.
"It's okay".
I came out of that room. A sense of relief came straight at me. How not, Aqil has been watching me and I am not able to do anything.
"Why out?". Aqil's question made me jump a little.
"As far as I am.
"You avoiding me?".
"No".
"Then....".
Not finished Aqil said the sentence I interrupted. "I have business and I have to go". I took a thousand steps so that Aqil would not say or chase after me.
