Persist
Chapter 72 S 2
Waiting is the most annoying thing. One minute feels like an hour.
"I'm sorry it's been a long wait" Esa said.
Esa sat down in front of me. I deliberately asked to meet for the development of the case I reported.
"How's it?" askaku.
"Let me order a drink first."
I'm nodding. Right, I haven't ordered a drink because I don't know Esa's taste.
"Mom, sorry. This case will be difficult, because Aqil is an important person. Should I tell my husband, mother?"
"Why should my husband?"
"Because it's also about family. Not just my mom."
"Totally so."
"More are reporting. It's getting harder for Aqil to run."
I haven't said anything to Vidi. She didn't come home last night and came home this morning. We haven't even had time to say hello to each other.
"Mom, I need to have a supporter. At least if you are hurt. I'm not gonna be alone."
"I'll think again. For now, I want you to actually do what I say."
After we discussed a few things. I choose to leave. I'm afraid, Esa will be affected by this matter.
"Alright, Mom. Excuse me."
Esa got out of that restaurant. While I was still sitting. Esa is not just a detective, she is also a former lawyer. He has prepared a good lawyer for me.
"Hows it? are you afraid of me?"
I directly looked. Aqil, is he here? did he hear everything?
"It turns out you're ready to lose everything." Aqil said that.
He took my drink and left. I have to tell Zefan everything. I have to, or I'll lose everything.
💝💝💝
The night atmosphere is pretty cool. Me and Zefan were sitting in the reading room. Several times I saw Zefan looking at his phone.
"There's something I want to say" I said later.
Zefan. He focused his eyes on me.
"Say.”
"Origin you're not angry. I'll say it."
Zefan smiled, "I won't be mad at you. I promise."
It's hard to say all this. Bitter or sweet I'll say it all. At least, I don't bear this burden myself anymore.
"Actually ....."
There's nothing I missed. I told you everything. Several times Zefan changed his facial expression, but did not interrupt my words in the least.
"Why did you just say it now?" asked Zefan with a sharp look.
I looked down, "I know. I was wrong to hide all this from you. This is all I can do, I don't want to lose you."
Zefan held onto my two shoulders, "If Aqil is a psychopath. It's very dangerous."
I nodded without a sound.
Zefan suddenly pulled me into his arms. I feel like Zefan is putting something on me.
"This what?" I held my neck.
"It's a gift because you've been honest with me."
I scrunched my forehead a sign of not understanding. It was as if Zefan already knew that I was going to tell him this.
"Not to be confused. You're my wife, I should've protected you."
"You mean?"
Zefan nodded his head steadily, "I've known everything before you know."
"What?"
"Yes, I've been reporting this for over two months. Although it is still a process, the Aqil case will be completed soon. He's going to jail."
No I thought. Zefan is so smart about this. My intention is to protect Zefan and it turns out that I'm the one being protected.
"Not to feel guilty."
"Thank you for everything."
I hugged Zefan with a cry.
"That's it." Zefan patted me gently on my back.
After that, I went into the room. I saw myself in front of the mirror. Today, I feel that Zefan doesn't just love me. He took care of me with all my body and soul. Thank you, God has sent me a good man in my life.
"I know, I sent everything by email. Oh yeah, don't bother me tonight."
Zefan immediately closed his phone as soon as he entered the room.
"Who?" my many.
"My lawyer."
I'm closing in on Zefan.
"Don't tease me" Zefan said later.
"I'm not teasing you, I want to take you out to dinner."
Zefan seemed to think.
"How about going to Mom's. We haven't been there for a long time."
We're getting ready to go. The finished Zefan went down first. I checked back the stuff I brought.
"Come, Fan." I held Zefan's hand.
"Bi. We're out, yes" Zefan shouted.
"Bi Iyah is coming home. Maybe a week."
Zefan turned his head, "Why don't I know?"
"You're in the office until late afternoon."
"yes too. I forgot to."
We got in the car with Zefan who was carrying the car. I actually offered to drive. Just because of my fetal reasons, Zefan didn't allow it.
💝💝💝
Arrive at Mama's place. We saw that Mom's house had guests. It's not usual for you to receive guests on nights like this.
"Night, Ma."
Zefan and I opened the door. We saw Jesi there, their conversation also stalled.
"You guys come on nights like this?”
My mother welcomed us. I gave you the sweet martabak I just bought.
"Alisha wants to go for a walk. Because it's the night I brought her here."
"You should take care of your baby. Pity that the nights wander."
"Alright, Ma. Mama has a guest?" ask Zefan.
My mom took me to sit in the living room.
"So Yesi came with her husband."
"Let me prepare, Ma."
I took the martabak back. I'll move it to the plate and you can eat together.
I took the martabak to the kitchen. After moving it to the long plate I will return to the living room.
Hap, a hand is holding me. I turned and saw Aqil behind me.
"Take me off." I tried to hold my voice so as not to be heard all the way to the living room.
Aqil smirked, "This time I won't let you go."
Aqil is trying to pull me, the power is huge. As powerful as I was trying to restrain my body from following Aqil.
"Where is my wife taking you?"
Aqil stopped pulling me and looked at Zefan who was already beside me. Aqil did not say anything, but his grip was released.
Seeing the inaction of Aqil. I chose to go next to Zefan. I held Zefan's hand tightly.
"Why are you here. Al, let's take the food forward."
"Good, Ma."
Aqil passed us but she whispered something to me, "This time you're lucky."
After Mama and Aqil left, Zefan rubbed my head.
"Silent. There I am here."
I'm nodding. We're out, I put food on the table. Aqil's gaze was still on me.
"Darling, sit here." Zefan shifted his seat for me.
I am happy to sit next to Zefan. The look on Jesse's and Aqil's faces both implied displeasure.
"What event are you here for?" zephan asked Yesi and Aqil.
"We just wanted to stop by."
"Zephan. Don't dong" said Mama.
Aqil's phone suddenly rang. Breaking the silence that enveloped us.
"Tante, I'll excuse you."
Aqil came out to pick up the phone. While we were back talking. Several times Zefan asked a sensitive question to Jesi. About the relationship that Yesi and Aqil lived.
Without asking, Zefan should have known what happened to Aqil and Yesi.
"Yesi. We have to leave," said Aqil who suddenly entered.
"Why go straight home?" ask Mama.
"Sorry aunt, maybe next time we'll come again."
"Not coming is okay either" Zefan said.
"Zephan." Mama glared at Zefan.
"I'm sorry, aunt."
Mama escorted Yesi and Aqil out. Tonight Zefan and I decided to stay. At home it was just the two of us because Bi Iyah went home.
"l. Take care of your future baby, if Zefan is too hard on you. Just tell Mama."
"Yes, Ma."
Mama looks agitated, "Al. Can you talk to Zefan alone?" ask Mama.
"Of course Ma. I'll take a break too."
I went into the room. Let Mama and Zefan both.
