The Part 52 S 2



There was no choice but to return to the apartment. Zefan also decided to come back together with me. Not knowing why, Aqil seemed to be trying to remind me in a strange way. Several times I saw him wearing clothes that he doesn't normally wear.


"Are you ready?" ask Zefan to me.


"Have, what about your kamy job here?" I asked Zefan.


"Just calm. After all, in three days we're getting married, I don't want to think about anything else."


"All right."


We walked to the car that was prepared by the hotel. I carry things that can be used as one bag but are different from Zefan. He had one suitcase and one bag. I don't know what's in it.


"Al," Zefan and I turned to the sound. Aqil, he came back wearing a strange shirt in my opinion.


"What's wrong?"


"Don't go home first, I want to give this to you." Aqil showed me a book with a heartfelt cover. It says Lili's diary.


"Is that mine?" my many. I looked at Zefan.


"you reckon? if you want him to stay one more night. I'll give it to you in the morning."


I turned back to Zefan, he left the decision in my hands.


"No need, I'll go home with Zefan. Three more days we're getting married, it's not funny if we have to postpone it again" I said steadily.


"You really don't want this book?" ask Aqil again. His face looks disappointed.


"I have Zefan. What is the book for." I smiled at Zefan.


"Then we go before it's too late." Zefan pulled my hand into the car.


I saw Aqil still staring at the car we were using. I'd love the book, but I don't want to make Zefan have to wait. He had been waiting for this long enough.


"Do you really want that book?" ask Zefan to me.


"No. I told you, you're more important than the book."


"Al, you can't lie. Do you want to turn around?"


I tried to compromise with my heart. I held Zefan's hand, "No need" I said.


"Thank you." Zefan gave his smile.


I really want to recover my memories again but I also want to have happiness for now. At least Zefan won't leave me when I get hurt.


💝💝💝


Today is the day that Zefan and I have been waiting for. We're getting married today, in a white dress I'm sitting next to Zefan. Back, I had to be married by the judge, Vidi can't be my guardian.


"Are you happy?" zefan asked as we sat together.


"You think?"


"I think you're so happy, you've been smiling at everyone."


"Do I have to cry now?"


Zefan frowned and looked funny at me.


"I have no reason to cry, I just have a reason to smile."


We didn't look around until a voice made Zefan and me turn. It was not the sound of people but the glass broke. Yes, the glass not far from me broke, I saw a letter there.


"I'll take it." I painstakingly took the letter.


A lot of eyes were on me, I didn't know what to do. I have to explain to them, but I don't know what I'm going to explain either.


"Are you okay?" ask Mama.


"No, Ma." I went back to my seat.


Some people came and cleaned up the mess. Zefan looked at the blood in my hand and wiped it away.


"It's okay." I pulled my hand from Zefan's grip.


"What letter is that?" ask Zefan later.


"I don't know either, I'll open it." I slowly opened the letter. Our show is back, maybe they don't realize if I took the letter.


*Happy.


I didn't come because I wanted to. I just don't want to hurt you, Lili. Even if I don't come, I'm still watching you. Oh yes, you must remember if we used to be good friends*.


Even though the letter is anonymous, I know who sent it. Aqil, he's never happy if I'm happy.


"What are you doing?" vidi asked as we watched the letter.


"You know, we're planning a honeymoon" Zefan replied curiously.


"You guys take it easy, I've bought you a ticket for your honeymoon." Mila gave the ticket to Zefan.


"You should have children soon. I want to have a grandchild."


I spoke a thousand languages when I heard Mama's words. Grandchild, does it have to be this fast. I just turned to Zefan, he also looked confused to answer his mother's words.


"Ma, isn't it too soon to discuss it," Zefan said.


"Why do you have to be awkward, you're married." Vidi said with his jokes.


"When will you marry me?" mila's question instantly made Vidi speechless.


"I have to go first, there's a lot of other business." Vidi rushes from the room followed by Mila who keeps asking about the wedding.


"Mama did not see Yesi and her husband. You guys didn't put them away?" ask Mama for us.


"We invited him. Maybe they're on some other business, ma."


I just smiled at Mama. Mama is close to the family of Yesi, even Zefan was almost married to Yesi.


"Mama has to go outside to have business. You can rest first."


Now that we're back just the two of us, the guests are also deserted. We did invite people who were quite close to us.


💝💝💝


We've gone home. A lot of stuff I brought to Zefan's house. We'll stay here, not in my apartment.


"Bi Iyah please bring Al's bag to the room."


Bi Iyah swiftly brought my bag to the room. Zefan was still used to all his jokes. I feel so tired and want to rest.


"Zefan, I'll go to the room first. Today was exhausting."


"All right."


I went into the room. "Wow, it's beautiful." Lots of flowers, I don't know who is decorating but this is not a room. More precisely a flower garden, very beautiful.


"This is Mama who made it."


I was shocked because Zefan immediately hugged me from behind.


"Why?" zefan asked because he saw my surprised face. "Don't you like me hugging you, but you're already my wife."


"If I forbid it, you will continue to do so" I said.


"You know that."


After bathing and changing clothes I prepared dinner with Bi Iyah. I don't want Zefan starving because he has a wife who can't cook.


"Let me just Non."


"I'll help Bi," I started sauteing some food. Bi Iyah also had many stories about Zefan.


Until all the eating is done. Bi Iyah told me to take Zefan out to eat, because Zefan didn't like it when something bothered him in the study.


"Mr Zefan sometimes not eat until morning, Non" Bi Iyah told me.


"From now on, dinner must be prepared. I'll take care of Zefan."


I walked towards Zefan's room. It was so quiet there was not even any sound. I knocked on the door a few times until Zefan opened the door.


"What's up!?" zefan asked in a loud voice.


I was shocked by what Zefan had just done. Why did he yell at me, did I make a mistake.


"If you don't want to eat, don't yell." I left Zefan who was still at the door.


I went back into the kitchen, Bi Iyah is still there. I smiled to hide my surprise because of Zefan. I'm not hurt, just shocked to see another side of Zefan.


"We're eating alone Bi, Zefan doesn't seem to want to be bothered."


Me and Bi Iyah sat down, Bi Iyah got me some rice and side dishes.


"Thank you Bi" I said.


Bi Iyah looked scared and stood up from her seat. I looked back at me, Zefan was there. I don't know why I feel so full.


"Bi, this is in Bi Iyah's meal only. I'm sleepy."


I left Zefan and Bi Iyah. As it turned out, Zefan was so different when he was at work. Maybe he'll tell me the reason later.


I went straight to sleep, I tried to forget what Zefan said. Maybe tomorrow morning will be better than today.
