Qais And Lila

second chance

That afternoon while hanging out, Qais' friends began to question him about his betting progress.

"Where, Is? Can you conquer that girl?" ask Fadil.

Qais simply glanced at the cynical Fadil without answering a word.

"Oh, that's it. Why do you have to talk about that girl now? Now it's time for fun." said Naura.

"That girl is still ignoring you?" ask Fadil again.

Qais was silent.

"It looks like this bet I will win easily" said Fadil confidently.

"No way." cut Naura.

"I'm sure Qais will definitely win this bet. Look around. The deadline is still long, right? It's only been 3 days. There are 27 days left. So be calm." he continued.

"Is the girl that difficult to approach?" ask Gilang then.

"He ignored Qais and even kicked her out of the diner where she worked" Aditya replied.

"It's strange" said Qais somewhat muttering.

"Usually any girl will approach on her own after knowing my family background. But this girl.." Qais' words stopped. It seems like he thought of something.

"He said rich kids like you like to do useless things and take advantage of the underprivileged" he murmured.

"But who does he mean "you guys"? What made him hate the rich? And all this time I've never been insolent with him." Qais bit his lips and tried to think hard.

"Qais?" aditya Aduri.

"Are you okay?" said again.

Qais did not answer a word. He picked up his bag and left his friends.

"Where are you going, Qais?" reprimand Naura, but Qais does not care about her question.

Fadil looked at Qais who was away, he felt something was different from Qais.

Meanwhile, at Lila's workplace.

Lila and her 3 co-workers were having a bit of a hassle serving a crowded customer. Coincidentally that day there was a worker at one of the factories near the restaurant who was giving thanks and treating his friends to eat there.

Exactly at 6 pm, the atmosphere of the restaurant is already rather quiet. Only 5-6 people still enjoy food. While cleaning the tables, Lila suddenly saw a young man standing across the street watching her. A young man with a tall stature, with a familiar face.

It's Qais!

"What's wrong with you, La?" ask Andri. Apparently it has been a while since Andri saw Lila fixated on staring out.

Lila did not answer Andri's question and was still stunned to see Qais standing outside. Out of curiosity, Andri finally looked at Lila staring.

"That young man again?" andri said.

"Why else would he come here?" continued. Lila shakes.

"Look, this time I will teach him a lesson so that he no longer dares to approach you" Andri said as he left. But Lila held her hand and prevented it.

"No, brother. Let alone. He also did not do anything." persuaded Lila.

"I want to continue cleaning up at the back" said Lila as she passed leaving Andri who was still clashing with Qais.

At exactly 8 p.m., the restaurant closed. The workers are ready to go home. Lila used to go home alone because the distance of home and work is not too far away. In addition, Lila did not have her own vehicle, and public transportation was not through the road after 6 pm.

On the way, Lila felt that someone was following her. He quickened his pace, but the person behind him also followed him speeding up.

Lila turned right, she also turned right. Lila turned left, she also turned left.

Feeling annoyed, Lila finally decided to stop and see who was following her.

"You?" lila said annoyed after knowing that the one who followed her was Qais.

"Why did you follow me from earlier?" tanyakanya.

"At last you realize that I've been following you" said Qais.

"You've been stalking me since I was at work, haven't you?" said Lila.

"What exactly is your goal?" ask Lila.

"I just want to talk to you" replied Qais.

Lila sighed deeply, then looked at Qais with an annoyed look mixed with fatigue.

"You know, I'm getting tired of this game. Every time you say you want to talk. But I know that none of what you're talking about is important to me" Lila said.

"Where do you know what I'm talking about is important or not, if you haven't even heard it?" ask Qais.

"Look, I'm tired. And I don't want to argue with you. So I beg you, please stay with me alone." said Lila as she clenched her hand as a gesture of supplication.

"I don't want to. I won't leave until you agree to talk to me" Qais said.
