Persist
The Part 57 S 2
This morning I helped Bi Iyah make breakfast. Zefan's still asleep because he came home late last night.
"Bi, please put everything on the table. I'm gonna wake Zefan."
I also have to go to work. After marriage, my life doubled. How not, I also have to take care of all the needs of Zefan.
"Zefan, let's get up. It's noon, you're late" I slightly shook Zefan's body.
Zefan swiftly pulled me to his side and hugged me.
"Why pull myself back?" I asked Zefan who was half asleep.
"Five minutes I'll wake up and I'll hold you for a second" Zefan said.
I let this position until the end five minutes passed.
I patted Zefan's face gently, "Let's get up. We'll be late."
"I still want to be with you" Zefan said again.
I got up and let Zefan. If I continue to obey him, I can't go to see my client either.
"Bi, let's eat together. Zefan's not hungry yet."
Me and Bi Iyah ate quietly. When I finished I changed clothes for work.
"Why didn't you wake me?" asked Zefan while hugging me.
I turned to Zefan, "I've even woken us up a few times. Going to the office?" I asked Zefan.
Zefan nodded.
"Then you take a shower, I'll prepare your clothes and breakfast."
"I don't want breakfast. Just get me some clothes."
"All right."
💝💝💝
Arriving at Mila's place, Zefan still had time to joke with me.
"Here you go, you're late."
"Let me late. That's my company" Zefan said easily.
"I knew. Already yes, later Mila can be angry because I'm late." I kissed Zefan's hand and went straight into the office.
I didn't even get to Zefan's office and I've been holding me back.
"What else?"
"I'll pick you up for lunch" Zefan said.
"By pleasure" I replied with a smile.
Cup. After kissing me all of a sudden, Zefan just left.
I went in and saw Mila calling someone. Maybe the client who is complaining or Vidi who is poking emotions Mila.
"You've finally come too" said Mila as soon as she saw me on the doorstep.
"What's wrong? I just went to work, you know," I said.
Mila let out a long sigh and sat back in her proud chair.
"Is there a problem?"
Mila nodded softly, "Did you remember the reception of Yesi and Aqil?"
I nodded, "Yes, I was also invited. What's wrong?"
"He wants me and you have to intervene alone at the reception."
I was shocked to hear Mila's explanation. It wasn't Yesi who canceled me just like that.
"I know it's crazy, but this is what happened."
I shook my head, there's no way I should take part in this. I don't want to be treated horribly anymore by Aqil and Yesi.
"I still have other clients. You know that, Mil." I was deliberately looking for an excuse.
"Let the other take care of. If Yesi and Aqil cancel, we'll lose big."
Right, but I have to put my feelings aside. I have to stay professional in this job.
"How's it?" ask Mila.
"Alright, but there's a condition."
"Condition? now you're talking terms with me?" ask Mila.
I'm nodding. This time I was serious about my condition.
"alright. What's your condition, what's important is don't make me miserable."
I'm whispering something to Mila. Mila immediately walked away and looked at me strangely.
"Why should I?"
"That's the only way I have. If I don't, I'll choose to serve another client. How's it?"
With laziness, Mila finally agreed with what I said.
"Now we have to go to the building and see the decorations that will be installed."
"Come on."
💝💝💝
This afternoon I am still in the building being decorated for tomorrow. Several times Zefan called me but I ignored him because there was still a lot of work.
"Who?" asked Mila who saw me turn off the phone several times.
"My husband." I put my phone back in my bag.
"Just say it, here let me take care of it" said Mila.
I hugged him, "You know me best."
"What do you want?" suddenly my phone was taken by someone.
Aqils. Is she here? wh-wh-what for?
"Give me my phone back." I asked for my phone back in Aqil's hands.
"You're at work, but you're playing cell phones here."
"Do I have to ask your permission? you're not my boss. Understand." I reclaimed my phone and went to the side yard.
Finally Zefan raised my call.
"*Hallo Zefan. I'm sorry, I just called you" I said.
"It's okay, you are now where*?”
I mentioned the address where I was with Zefan.
"*It was only once that I was close to your location. Wait a minute and I'll be there."
"alright. I'll wait for you*."
I turned off my phone and waited for Zefan to continue my work.
I saw Aqil who was discussing some things with Mila. After Aqil left I went straight to Mila.
"Can I go out for a minute? Zefan's taking me to lunch together."
Mila turned to me, "Alright, but you have to come back here."
"Of course."
Zephan. He's already here it turns out. Zefan approached me and handed me a bottle of mineral water.
"I know you're so tired."
"Thank you."
Mila took the bottle that was in my hand and directly chugged it.
"You can go now."
"Well, I'll take my wife away for a minute." Zefan pulled my hand to follow him.
I've seen Mila having a lot of thoughts lately. Vidi hasn't shown her nose in front of me since I got home. Are they having problems?
"Why daydream?" zefan asked as soon as we were in the car.
"It's okay."
"alright. What are we going to eat today and where?" ask Zefan to me.
"I want to eat fried chicken. Trouble with the place, you're the one who broke up."
"OK."
💝💝💝
We had ordered food until Aqil came to our table.
"Can I join you here?" ask Aqil.
"No," I said firmly.
Aqil frowned as soon as he heard my answer. Zephan almost let him sit down.
"Do I look sick to you?"
What is this weird question? why Aqil makes such a strange excuse.
"You know it's not. New couples should have time to be together." I held Zefan's hand.
"Alright, sorry I've been intruding."
Aqil looked disappointed and turned her body around.
"Wait," said Zefan. I turned to Zefan.
"You can sit with us" Zefan said later.
I can only sigh with Zefan's decision. Why do I feel if Zefan wants to make me and Aqil reconcile.
"Are you going straight to the office?" I asked Zefan.
Zefan had been staring at his watch. Then then nod.
"I'm in a hurry because there's an important meeting."
"Let me take Alisha to the building. I will also go there," Aqil said without further ado.
"I can take a taxicab. If you want to go to the office be careful on the way."
Zefan tidied up my hood, "I'll feel calm if you go there with Aqil. We know each other."
I can't resist Zefan's words. I finally nodded my head. I drove Zefan into the car.
"Want to be picked up or something?" ask Zefan before running his car.
"As far as you are."
"I'll pick you up later." Zefan waved his hand at me.
I just smiled at Zefan who left me with Aqil.
"Come on."
I just realized that Aqil is already beside me.
"Come on? I can go there myself. Good bye." I left Aqil still quietly glued in front of the restaurant.
I'm agreeing with Zefan's words so he doesn't get hurt. But I don't want the terrible events at the hotel to happen again. So, I chose to use taxis to return to the building.
