Persist

Part 7's

I still think about my stupid behavior yesterday. Why did I do such a shameful thing. Why should I fall in love with that man. He didn't even look at me right.

"Sorry Mother. Someone's looking for Mommy outside."

I came to my senses and saw Giel. He looked confused enough to bother me this time.

"I'll be out in a minute Giel."

As soon as I tidied up, I went out to meet the guest. I saw the woman wearing the mask. From her gestures I know that she's Mei.

"What's wrong?" my many.

"You know, right? I will not back down for Aqil. I've been dating her since High School.I'll do anything for you to get away from her," Mei said suddenly.

I smile. "sorry. I'm not just gonna give up my husband."

Mei is approaching me. "Do you know. He's been dead in love with me."

I smile. "When it's done. Please come out."

I immediately turned around to return to my room. Maybe I should calm down at this time. This time, I lost. Mei is closer to Aqil than I am.

Aqil came home with a dead red face. He seems to be angry today. I approached him hoping he would smile.

"What did you do in May?" I immediately stopped my steps.

"You know. Because of you Mei got hurt, "Aqil looks really upset.

"What do you mean? Did Mei complain to you about the no-no?" I approached Aqil. "What did he tell you?"

"From yesterday May just fell asleep and still feel scared."

I don't know what Aqil said. I just met Mei. But now Aqil says that Mei just fell asleep. Am I being played. You sly woman.

"Find out the truth and then tell me who's wrong" I said.

I set foot to leave but Aqil pulled me over. He grabbed my face.

"Obviously you're wrong. If anything happens in May. I'll punish you harder than this." Aqil took off the grip and left his room.

I don't feel my tears falling. Yeah, I'm crying. I didn't expect that Aqil would be able to do this just because of another woman.

I chose to leave the house for a while. Maybe I'll go to uncle's. I haven't been there in a long time either. At least I'll feel calmer.

"Where are you going Non?" tanya Nia made me jump a little.

"Can't you just don't bother me." I went back to picking up some of the gallows.

"Where's the hell is the hell you going?" ask again.

"It's none of your business."

"This is an order from lord Aqil."

"Tell him. Don't take care of my life anymore." I just passed Nia.

I don't know what Aqil did until someone was so loyal to work with him. Always, this is Aqil's command. I chose not to take the car. I'll go by taxi or bus.

Until the uncle's house the atmosphere remains the same as before. An angry Aunt Maya and a quiet Uncle Tejo with all the problems.

"Why are you here again?" aunt Maya asked me so much.

"Don't be like that May," said Uncle.

I smiled looking at them. It's more comfortable to stay here with all their conversations. Sometimes I miss this. For me, it's the same as getting hurt and getting hurt.

"Cock it this hard?" said Uncle.

"No hassle. I just miss you guys."

"Kangen or you've asked for a divorce from that strange man."

Strange guy. What Aunt Maya says if Aqil is weird. Aunt, Maya must know something beyond me.

"Aunty would like to eat out today?" my bargain was trying to seize her heart which had been closed to me all this time.

"no need. You just need to get out of this house and don't come back" said Aunt Maya with a face that didn't even look at me.

I try to be patient and keep smiling. Until now I don't know why Aunt Maya hated me so much. When I asked, he did not answer and chose to leave.

"I'll obey aunt's orders. Aunty wants to tell me why I'm taking care of you, "this time I tried to be firm.

"Honey. You're not tired of getting on the bus. Let's eat first." Uncle Tejo instantly calmed me down as soon as he saw Aunt Maya was going to say something.

I'll find out for myself. That way I can be myself without any burden.

"Thank you Uncle. I'm going home now. Next time I'll stop by again." I took my bag and came out of that simple house.

Sayup-sayup I heard the conversation Aunt Maya and Uncle Tejo. They had to fight because of me.

"Never say anything to him" said Uncle Tejo quite loudly.

"Do you want to keep lying? We're nobody to Alisha."

"Don't talk about this again. I'll say everything myself later."

BRAK. I heard a pretty loud door slam. Maybe Aunt Maya's back locked herself up.

I walked back down the alley. Seeing the kids running around made me smile.

"Al."

A familiar call made me look. Justright. Vidis. He ran closer to me.

"I keep trying to call you. But it's never active." The man immediately hugged me.

"Don't be like this. Not good."

Vidi took off his wound. "sorry. I miss you so much" Vidi said, sounding so sincere.

"How are you? and when are you back?"

We sat in the chair across the street. Vidi was the one who always accompanied me when I first met him. He always told me about himself, but not his family.

"How's your husband?" ask Vidi suddenly.

"He's very good. Next time I'll introduce him to you," I said excitedly.

"OKs. Then give me your cell phone number."

I exchanged numbers with him. After that I said goodbye because it was late afternoon. There's no way I'm going home late. Aqil will definitely impose punishment on me.

"I'll go home first. See you soon."

"Be careful Al."

I just nodded and was good at the taxis I ordered. There was a sense of happiness once I saw Vidi. However, a sister's love for a sister would be better for this relationship.
