Persist
The Part 56 S 2



Today's the last day of Zefan's honeymoon. We chose to take a walk to the waterfall near the hotel which was said to be very beautiful.


"Zefan, do I have to come?" my many. Actually I'm still afraid of going back apart like yesterday.


"Why indeed? this is our last day here." Zefan revealed the veil that was blocking my face.


"I don't want to end up there alone."


"No way," Zefan stroked my cheek gently, "I promise I'll always hold your hand."


Hearing that made me a little calm. Still, there's some worry, but I know Zefan won't leave me.


I went into the bathroom leaving Zefan alone. I opened the bathroom door.


"Zephan." Call me.


"What's wrong?"


"Thank you" I said.


I closed that door again. Makes Zefan anxious. Don't know why I feel like my life is more colorful with Zefan in my life.


"Zefan, do I deserve to wear this shirt?" I came out in a long blue shirt with a sunflower decoration.


Zefan approached and kissed my left cheek, "You are so worthy to use it, only there is less."


I frowned, what was lacking. I've been trying to get dressed and change my appearance for Zefan. Why is it less.


"Wear this, you'll be prettier." Zefan slipped a ring between my fingers.


Ring with heart-shaped jewel. I'm surprised why Zefan always makes me surprised and happy.


"Hows it? do you like it?" ask Zefan.


I hugged him right away. I'm happy, not because of the ring on my finger, but because Zefan is there for me.


"You like this gift so much? if I'd always give it to you."


"No," I still hugged Zefan tightly, "I'm happy to have you" I said.


"You're good at teasing me, yes" Zefan told me.


"Let's just do it to you, too."


"Yes, let's go. Our company is waiting."


I nodded in spirit.


We got off with the elevator. Many people have been waiting for us because we are the only ones who have not come. After praying and there was a bit of encouragement from our guide. We finally left.


💝💝💝


I thought it was pretty close but we've been walking for almost an hour. The water is not yet visible.


"Is it still long? I'm so tired." I really feel tired at my feet.


"Want me to carry?" ask Zefan.


"no need. I can definitely."


Our hands have been holding together since we left. Zefan really kept his word.


"We'll be there soon and we can rest." Said the guide who was already in front.


"Want to drink again?" back Zefan offered me a drink.


I shook my head, "We're almost there and I'm not thirsty."


We walked back slowly.


"Darling, carry me so tired." I know it's Yesi's voice.


Sure enough, Yesi was whining to Aqil. Though Yesi knew that Aqil was only indifferent to her.


"What's wrong?" zefan asked who knew I was staring at Jesse, "Don't look at the other men in front of me."


I slightly pushed Zefan's shoulder, "Why do I look at other people, there's you I can look at."


"Haha," Zefan laughed quite loudly. Until it became the attention of our group.


"What's wrong?" ask the driver to Zefan.


"No, I'm just glad my wife was honest with me."


I feel so ashamed of Zefan. Almost everyone looked at me this time.


The guide simply smiled, "You must be very happy because you are on your honeymoon. Let's get back on the road."


We continue our journey. Many plants have beautiful flowers. Even though I love flowers, I don't know their names.


"You don't want our relationship to be the most romantic," Jesse glanced at us, "I don't want to lose to them," Yesi said spoiledly to Aqil.


Aqil turned to me, our eyes met. I immediately looked away because Aqil was looking at me so sharply.


Arriving at the waterfall many people immediately throw themselves into the water. While I chose to sit on the fringe rocks.


"I want to go to the water. Are you okay with me staying?" ask Zefan.


"Alright, I'll wait here by myself."


"Not alone, I'm there to accompany."


Zefan and I looked back at the sound. Aqil, what else is he going to do this time.


Zefan immediately turned around to get into the water. I caught Zefan's hand.


"Can you just be here?" my many. I'm really scared, I don't want yesterday to happen again.


"You take it easy, there's Aqil. He saved you yesterday too. I'll just be a minute."


"All right." With a heavy heart I let go of my hand to Zefan.


I just kept quiet and sat back down, but slightly moved away from Aqil.


"Why? you don't want to be with me? your own husband entrusted you to me" said Aqil.


I just kept quiet and looked at Zefan who was swimming with the others. I also saw Yesi, she looked free. Why am I even here with Aqil, so unfair.


"Al, do you want to know how I killed your parents?"


Hearing that made my fear grow.


"I was a kid back then, but did you ever think that I was manipulating death?"


I walked away from Aqil, "Are you crazy, you're making me want to stay away."


"And you always make me want to be close to you. I love it when you scream in fear" said Aqil.


I hold back my tears or Aqil will feel victorious and happy. I have to be strong.


"I also don't know since when I'm like this, all I remember is that I hate people who have happy families."


I'm getting away, I don't even see what I'm doing. Until I felt myself falling.


Hap, "Do you want to kill yourself?" Aqil. I almost fell into the rocks.


I took Aqil's hand off me.


"Al, only you can make me change. So, don't you want to think about me anymore?" this time Aqil's tone of voice was softer.


"Aqil, we're on a different path. I'll still consider you my brother, just like you used to."


"Sister? I don't want to. You're only mine, we have to understand."


"What's this?" ask Zefan. He looks wet.


I shook my head and approached her, "Is the water cold?" I asked Zefan.


"Quite refreshing." The answer.


I pretended to see the watch, "We should hurry back to the hotel, you catch a cold."


"My wife is worried about me so much."


We say goodbye to the others to go home first. Aqil was only able to stare me away with Zefan.


To me, Aqil's behavior is getting more and more horrible. He didn't even feel guilty when discussing the murder of my parents. He also seemed happy when I was hurt and crying. Is it because of his trauma in the past that he forgot his conscience.


"andle, Al. You why?"


"E.uh. What's up Zefan?"


"You've been daydreaming. Is there anything Aqil said to you?"


I shook my head quickly, "I just really want to rest. Maybe it's just fatigue."


"It's good that nothing happens."


💝💝💝


We have arrived in our city. I saw Vidi and Mila were waiting for us.


"Yeah!" mila shouted as soon as she saw me and Zefan coming, "Do you know? from earlier Vidi was angry because you were almost an hour late," Mila said later.


"Who said? zefan and I were on time." I defended myself this time.


"It's not you guys who are wrong, Milany is getting here early." said Vidi from the car.


"We'll talk about that later, I'm very tired and want to go to bed sooner." Zefan stuffed his suitcases with Vidi's help. I went in and put down my crumbling body.


We went straight home. Vidi and Mila also just drove us and went straight home.


"I want to go to bed first" said Zefan.


"I want to rest too. My body feels all crumpled."


Bi Iyah approached us in a hurry.


"You're home yet?" ask Bi Iyah.


Me and Zefan compactly nodded their heads.


"Let me help some Non."


I nodded in spirit.


"Bi, we'll rest first. Please wake up at three o'clock in the afternoon" Zefan said.


"Good, Den."


Zefan and I chose to sleep separately to be more restful after this long journey. It's not a honeymoon, but just an exhausting vacation.
