Persist

Chapter 65 S 2

The show has started. Several times I tried to open the door, but still in the lock from the outside.

"Says two hours, it's been more." My complaint.

I sat back on the edge of the bed. I'm still staring at the wall clock. Then, the door opened I saw Zefan on the doorstep.

"Zephan." I ran over and hugged Zefan, "Why time doesn't seem to go," I said in Zefan's arms.

Zefan chuckled and let go of my embrace, "Now we have met. What do you want?" ask Zefan.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat."

Zefan laughed quite loudly. He took me out, a lot of people were already in the room. I don't know if I'm gonna be the center of attention like this.

"Is there something wrong with me?" I whispered to Zefan.

"Yes, you're so pretty. Even I'm jealous of the man who's looking at you."

"You are this, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too."

We whispered to my mother's side. I'm proud to introduce to everyone on the loudspeakers.

"Everyone, introduce this to my son-in-law. Alisha."

Everyone smiled and clapped. Just a pair of eyes that look at me dislike. Aqil, he's here with the Yesi family.

"It's so pretty, your daughter-in-law" said the woman wearing the green dress next to Mama.

"She is beautiful like me."

Mama's friends were joking again. Zefan and I decided to sit in the park. It's quieter and certainly better to talk. Unlike the main room which is full of people and the sounds of your favorite music.

"Didn't you like it here?" ask Zefan to me.

I looked at him. Zefan looked tired with eyes looking up.

"I like it, I just don't like the atmosphere that's too crowded."

"Do you really love me?" ask Zefan later.

"You're funny, of course I love you."

Zefan let out a chuckle, "What if you only think of me as an escape from Aqil."

I don't know why Zefan changed. In two hours we did not meet and now he is saying this. Maybe I'll answer correctly if he asks at the beginning of our marriage. But now it's another.

"really turned. You just made me an escape."

"Wait, I haven't answered anything."

"Here you go, we better get in and join this show. If you really love Mama."

Zefan left me alone, the more here Zefan changed. Like someone said something else to Zefan. This time I will follow him. I'm going to this party.

"What about the drama I made."

I stopped when I heard that voice. I didn't see if Aqil was standing in the corner of this room.

"So you did it? what exactly do you want?" ask me with annoyance.

Aqil chuckled, "What's more, I just want to have it all. I've been trying to persuade you slowly and this is the only way." Aqil laughed again.

"Look at what's going to happen later."

I went into the showroom. I didn't even find Zefan anywhere.

"Where is he?" tanyaku.

"Who are you looking for?" asked Mama who was beside me.

I smiled faintly, "I'm looking for Zefan, Ma."

"Zefan was talking about something important with Yesi. Better, you have fun while you wait for Zefan."

I nodded, "Okay, Ma."

Somehow, I felt hurt when I found out that Zefan was with another woman. I thought my love journey was over. But still, Aqil interfered with this relationship.

💝💝💝

This morning I woke up quite early, there was no Zefan beside me. Didn't Zefan go into the room last night, where did he sleep?

I rushed down to make breakfast. The rest of last night was still very messy. Mama said someone will take care of it.

I went into the kitchen. Mama hasn't woken up yet, I'll make fried rice just this time.

I looked surprised, "Yes Ma. Ma, where did Zefan sleep last night?" ask Mama.

Mama took a glass and poured water, "She slept last night in the guest room, Zefan said she doesn't want to disturb your sleep."

I lowered my head, a very good reason for Mama not to know what was going on in this relationship. I don't want Mama to know either, I don't want to hurt her.

"What's Al? is there a problem?"

I shook my head, "No, Ma. I just feel guilty for sleeping to leave Zefan."

"What about your granddaughter?"

"It's late this month, but I haven't checked on Ma." I told you what really happened to me.

"Hopefully you get pregnant, it will add to Zefan's love for you."

I smiled and went back to breakfast.

"Are you really pregnant?" asked Zefan who had been listening to our conversation.

"It's still unclear Fan. Her name is also pregnant, we can't determine" Mama said.

I prepared breakfast at the dinner table. I tried to stare at Zefan, but he tried to avoid it. What Aqil said to Zefan made me not know what to do. I just have to follow Zefan's path or I'll lose him.

"Ma, I'm coming with Zefan to the office this day" I told Mama.

"As far as you are, at home you will be alone. I'm going to the salon."

I'm nodding. We continued our breakfast. Until we say goodbye to Mom.

"Ma, we go first."

I hugged Mama tightly. Unhooked him.

"Be careful." Mama commented on the soothing smile, "Zefan, take care of Alisha."

"Yes, Ma."

Zefan just got in the car, he used to do silly things to me.

"I'll go first, Ma."

I got in the car. Zefan was running his car slowly.

"Fan, if I'm wrong. I'm sorry."

"Are you wrong?"

"Dive you not to the room. Please don't make me like this."

"You can shut up, right? I'm driving."

I was silent immediately. I set my eyes out the car glass. I hate Aqil even more this time. Why would he do this to me.

💝💝💝

"We've arrived, you can go down and rest at home" Zefan said.

I didn't expect Zefan to take me home. He promised to take me to the office yesterday.

Without a word I got out of the car. I went straight into the room. Even Bi Iyah asked, I was reluctant to answer.

"Where is my phone" I said in the room.

I remember if my phone was in the car. I didn't bring it. Never mind, Zefan will definitely bring it to me later. I'll just choose to sleep so as not to wait long.

"Non, what kind of flowers are there in the flower room? there's been a lot of withering." Said Bi Iyah from outside the room.

I opened the door, "Please quote the flowers in the back garden, later I will clean the flower room."

"Non, is that okay?" ask Bi Iyah. He looked worried, "If not feeling well let Auntie clean the flower room," Bi Iyah said again.

"Thank you, Bi. Then I'll rest first."

"Non, can I do something?"

"No need to Bi. Later I will call Bi Iyah if butub something."

"Good, Non."

I closed the door. It's not really my body that hurts, but my heart that hurts. I was hurt because of Zefan's changed nature.
