Persist
Part 8's
I picked up a dress I was going to wear to the store. Several times I heard a noise on the lower floor but I kept trying to be indifferent. After applying thin make-up, I went straight down.
"I'm asking you to come out now".
Just this time I heard Nia scream. I rushed down to see what was going on. The normally flat nia was now different from usual. He sat down with tears.
"Why you?" I sat in front of him.
Nia immediately wiped her tears. She's staring. I know he's hurt.
"Sorry Non" she tried to stand up.
"It's okay to cry. I'll keep you company."
Just this time I saw a smile from Nia. A very sweet smile. At least I'll help her calm down.
"Can I go to Non's room?" tanyakanya.
"Please. I have to go to the store too. If there's anything call me." I smiled so that Nia would also calm down.
I don't know who came but that obviously took Nia a hit. I went back to my room to pick up some clothes I was going to give Giel. The old clothes I didn't wear and are still good.
Arrive at the store. I saw Giel staring at the tv. His eyes were so focused that I didn't even realize I was coming.
"Giel's." I patted her shoulder.
Giel jumped in shock. He looked over with a nervous look.
"What's Giel?"
"I. That's Ma'am, on tv there's news of the murder." Giel pointed at the tv.
News about the murder of a woman. The body is not even intact anymore.
"It's terrible, Ma'am."
I nodded, "We need to be more careful. I'm in the room first, you can start working."
Giel sleeps in the store more often. The house is quite far from here.

I'm out of the bathroom. It's not usually Aqil to come home quickly. I get a towel and immediately prepare the water for the bath.
"Kok come home a prick?" I asked Aqil.
"Not much work in the office." Aqil gave me his bag.
I put it in the bag. The clothes I put on the shirt. Back I saw the bloodstains. Not only blood, there are also soil stains. What Aqil did. If I ask, he'll be angry.
"Want me to prepare some food?" I asked Aqil.
"We're eating out" Aqil said.
I felt less sure of what Aqil said just now. Is he conscious of taking me out to eat. He doesn't usually take me sincerely.
"You want to not?" ask Aqil again.
"As far as you are" I said with a happy heart. I am glad to accept it.
Indeed since the beginning of marriage only a few times Aqil really paid attention to me. Even I fell in love again just because of his little attention. Stupid me.
"Ready-prepared. We'll leave after I shower." Aqil pointed towards the bed.
"Thank you." I smiled at Aqil.
Aqil just returned my smile and went inside the bathroom. I who was so excited immediately tidied myself up and put on the dress. I'll dress up for her tonight. May this night be more beautiful.
💝 💝 💝
"You didn't take me out for a reason, did you?" I asked Aqil.
Aqil just smiled and poured water for me. I don't think bad just that I feel weird about his attitude today.
"Tonight I will sleep in our room" Aqil said later.
I almost choked on my drink. Since the wedding night I and Aqil slept apart indeed. Why did he suddenly ask to sleep together.
"No need to be surprised. I'll make you happy."
"You mean?"
"I will make a whole family with you" Aqil said.
"May?" ask again.
It was impossible that soon Aqil forgot Mei. Mei also won't let go of Aqil that easily. Is it just a trick game. I'll follow all the lines.
"You want to accompany me to change, right?"
I smiled and nodded. There's no harm in me trying. I have also fallen many times in the same way. I finally had empty hopes.
"Let's eat. After that we go home" said Aqil.
"Yes." Yeah."
Justright. Aqil gave her time for me, she even turned off her phone. He usually does not get off the phone.

As usual this morning I did my job. Take care of myself and now I also prepare Aqil clothes. Not Nia anymore.
"You are smart to also arrange my suit and my das," said Aqil who was hugging me.
"Do I look better than Nia?" ask again.
"He's just my assistant. You're my wife."
"Today, I'm recognized as a wife. Not just a setatus." We laughed together this morning.
"I'll go to the store first. You also have to go to work." I took off the wound and took my bag.
"Wait."
"What else? After this everything was taken care of Nia."
"Never be with another man."
I nodded and walked out of the room. Today I feel so excited like never before. I can win from Mei if Aqil changes. I'll be happy with what Aqil's working for me. Love is full of twists and turns. I just need to be patient.
