Persist
The Part 34 S 2
I haven't been to work for two days. A lot of messages from Mila and Vidi, but I was reluctant to reply. Ever since Zefan's proposal, I've lost my way.
Geck, tok, tok. Several times I heard the door. No promises or anything but why would anyone come. With lazy footsteps I opened the door.
"Why did you open the door for so long?" I was still confused by the sudden arrival of Yesi.
"Where do you know my address?" ask me about Yesi.
Yesi sat down without excuse. Even his face looked very angry.
"That's not your business." Yesi threw me some money, "Hurry out of town, or you'd better die." Yesi stood up and took her bag.
"Whatchu mean? I'm not even making trouble with you" I said.
"Is that?" Yesi approached and directly slapped my left cheek.
I looked at him sharply but the face of Yesi this time really looked very angry.
"Everything I dreamed of almost came true, but because of you ... " Yesi hangs up her words.
He sat down with tears. I feel sorry to see him like this, I'm holding back the pain in my cheek. I sat next to him and tried to hold his shoulder.
"Aqil canceled this marriage" said Yesi in her tears.
Hearing that I was like coming back where Mei took Aqil from me. I'm not Mei, I'm not gonna make Jesse feel what I feel.
"Yesi, I know you're hurt. I'll get Aqil to marry you." I helped Yesi to sit on the couch, "Give me some time."
Yesi wiped her tears. He looked me in the eye, no word said. Suddenly, Jesse hugged me.
"I thought you were going to take Aqil away from me," said Yesi still with her tears.
"No. I won't let you down." I tried to calm Jesse down.
"How can I guarantee you don't take Aqil from me?" ask Yesi.
I lowered my head and steadied my heart, "You know, I've been proposed by Zefan. I'll accept the proposal." I smiled at Yesi.
"I believe you." Yesi held my hand tightly.
I promised Yesi. I said in my heart.

"You're really gonna marry me, right?" I asked Zefan.
We had dinner near my apartment. I deliberately asked him to walk, to confirm his feelings for me.
Zefan nodded, "I've been saying it since the beginning, no." Zefan held my hand and kissed her.
I almost pulled that hand until I realized that Yesi was going to get hurt. I put it down, "Thank you" I said.
"Tomorrow dinner at home. You came yes" said Zefan.
"Isn't it too soon? I haven't even prepared myself." I tried to reject that invitation.
"Look, I was there." Back Zefan's smile was able to make me calmer.
We ate with conversation like a couple. I've never even felt this way with Aqil. Why should I think of Aqil again.
"You want to go home?" zefan asked when our food was over.
"As for you, tomorrow I'm free" I said after wiping my lips with a tissue.
"You don't work at Mila's place anymore?" zefan's question this time was a little pressing.
I nodded slowly, "I just want to be alone first. I mean, ... "
"I know how you feel. You must be questioned by your decision." Zefan stood up and spread his hand over my shoulder, "I will continue to accompany you."
Back he kept me calm. A feeling I had never felt before during my time with Aqil. If I was meant to be with Zefan, I would give it my all.
"I'm taking you to a beautiful place, come on." Zefan immediately pulled my hand after paying for the food.
"Where?" I asked Zefan.
"Follow me and don't ask too many questions" Zefan said.
We got into the car. Without a word Zefan kept taking me, I didn't even know where Zefan would take me. Only Zefan's smile made me sure that he wouldn't hurt me.
"Until now!" zefan shouted out my reverie.
I looked to the right and to the left. I just realized it's at the night market. Zefan immediately smiled as I turned to him.
"Let's go down, we ride all the rides that are here," Zefan asked.
I got off the car. I've never set foot in a place like this before. Because I was a kid who only knew about home.
"Thank you" I said softly to Zefan.
"Everything."
Zefan nodded and immediately grabbed my hand. We entered, the atmosphere was so good. Several times Zefan took me on rides, but I refused.
"Sorry Zefan, I really don't want to play" I told Zefan.
"Why?" Zefan came with me to sit on a bench.
"I'm tired. I came in here happy too" I said.
"Well, I'll keep you seated here until you're sleepy." Zefan rested his head on my shoulder.
It was not long before I heard the fine snoring from Zefan. He's asleep, I don't know what to do. I can't even drive a car. I have to wait here until morning.
For about half an hour I felt tired on my shoulder. I turned to Zefan, he was still in the same position. I don't have the heart to wake Zefan up.

My eyes opened as the sunlight came into my room I breathed as much air as I could, until I realized that this was not my room. I don't know where this is and it's almost eight o'clock.
"Good morning, Non?" said a middle-aged woman who entered the room.
"Morning. Where is this?" ask her.
"Mr Zefan brought Miss here." He put breakfast and a dress on the room table.
"Zefan where is it?" ask again.
"Mr Zefan's been to the office since morning. It's Miss's clothes and breakfast, you've prepared the driver if Miss is going home" the woman said.
"Thank you Bi .. "I don't know his name.
"Bi Iyah," said the woman with a very friendly smile.
"Thank you Bi Iyah" I said later.
"If you need anything, just call me Non" said Bi Iyah before leaving.
"Good Bi." I smiled back at Bi Iyah.
After the departure of Bi Iyah. I walked towards the window of this room. It is directly facing a park near the lake. Very lovely.
The breakfast that Bi Iyah made I ate. I also changed my clothes and now I have to go home. Even though the desire to visit the park is very passionate.
"Prophe Alisha. This is not the time" I said slowly trying to calm this heart.
I looked around for Bi Iyah and found the friendly woman in a room, a room full of flowers.
"Wow, so many flowers and so beautiful!" I said shouting and made Bi Iyah startled.
"Miss, why is it here?" tanyakanya.
"I'm looking for you, what's Bi Iyah doing?" ask her.
"Try to organize this room. Mama Tuan Zefan is coming," said Bi Iyah, but she slightly lowered her head.
"Want me to help? I'm so happy to arrange flowers." I took the scissors and started.
"I'll be scolded by Mr. Zefan." Seen the scared face of Bi Iyah.
"Luck it off, I'll do it for Zefan." I tried to calm Bi Iyah down.
"Well Miss, thank you for helping" he said.
"Don't hesitate Bi" I said.
Bi Iyah immediately went to take care of another job. I haven't done this in a long time, I feel like half my life is back after seeing this room.
"Non, this is very beautiful" Bi Iyah said as she entered the room.
I'm done with that room. I'm tired too.
"Thank you, Bi, I have to go home now" I said to Bi Iyah.
"Mister Zefan will be home soon. Don't you want to wait?" ask Bi Iyah.
"no need. I'll go home first Bi." I put my feet up to go.
"Be careful, Miss," said Bi Iyah.
I nodded and went straight home. Tonight I will sleep well because of all the flowers.
