Persist
The Part 48 S 2
I'm ready to go to Mom and Dad's grave. I waited for Zefan long enough but he didn't come down to the parking lot. I decided to pick him up upstairs.
"Where are you going?" zefan asked as we passed by the stairs. Thankfully I did not use the elevator.
"I'm going to pick you up but meet you here." I turned back with Zefan.
"Sorry, Mama called. He asked us when we'd be home." Zefan explained why he was upstairs for so long.
"We'll be home later in the afternoon. Maybe I'll remember everything over time" I said. I don't know what's going on with my heart but I chose to give up.
"Yes, I'll book a ticket for later. Now we have to go."
Akh and Zefan got in the car. Many streets have changed. Until now I have been very difficult to memorize the streets anywhere.
After arriving, Zefan and I were shocked. Lots of fresh flowers there. Like someone just came to this tomb.
"Do you have a brother or sister?" ask Zefan to me.
"Oh, I don't remember. I'm also curious about people who often come to visit the graves of father and mother." I looked around but there was no one else. Who I really am, I want to know.
When I finished, Zefan and I left. I got to the car and saw another car there. Like Aqil's car.
"Zefan, can you wait here for me for a minute?" my many.
"Where are you going?" Zefan.
"I'm going back to mom and dad's grave for a second. May it?"
"Sana, I'll wait here."
I left Zefan. With a slow step I reached the grave of my mother. Sure enough, there was Aqil there. She also brought flowers for Mom and Dad.
I remember, I met him here when he was going out. But I met Vidi before I could go after Aqil. I approached because Aqil was saying something.
"You know, Lili lost her memory when she found out you were killed. She was so shocked. Until now he doesn't even remember us. I'm sorry, Mom." Aqil placed the flower and immediately left.
What is my relationship with Aqil. Until Aqil always comes here. When will this memory return.
I'm back in Zefan's car. Aqil was there. He looked at me sharply, I walked towards the side of Zefan.
"Long time does not see you," Aqil told me.
Just yesterday, he kept me in his house. Zefan took my hand.
"What are you doing here?" ask me with a slightly trembling sentence.
"I just visited someone, are you following me?" aqil asked in a joking tone but I knew she was covering something up.
"Hopefully the wedding is smooth" Aqil said.
"Come, Zefan. We'll be late."
"Then we go first. Afraid to miss the plane."
Zefan and I got into the car. Aqil still looked at our car up to the fork in the road.
"We'll eat first." Zefan stopped his car at a diner.
"Come," we're down. Many people eat at this place.
"Alisha, I love you." Whisper Zefan to me.
I just smiled at Zefan's behavior. He always tried to make me laugh no matter what.

We arrived at the airport. Vidi picked us up. He said if our wedding preparations were done just do the fitting clothes.
"You want to go straight to the apartment?" ask Vidi later.
"We're going to Mama Zefan's house first, I promised her."
Zefan smiled at me. Since getting off at the airport Zefan has been holding my hand.
"Well, today I will be your driver." cried Vidi.
Arriving at Mama's place, I saw Mama had recovered even though she still looked a little pale.
"Yet you're back." My mother hugged me tightly.
"I miss Mama a lot but Mama welcomes Alisha." Zefan.
Mama took off her opener and told me to sit down. "You're too ordinary for Mama" we laughed at Mama's reply.
"Whose are you taking?" ask Mama Zefan.
"Sama Vidi, but she's straight back to the office."
We talked for quite a while. I don't feel like time goes by so fast. In this family I found another life. A life full of joy.
