Parking a car quite far from my family's last resting place. I walked while occasionally looking at Qeisha. She used to be next to me as a nurse who must have eaten my heart with my cold and rude attitude. I often rebuke and ignore his words. Especially every time the guilt came and filled the recesses of my heart and my whole mind. But he was always patient and kept by my side. Now I promise to make amends for all my misdeeds and filth with him. I will take care of him and make him as happy as I can. I will not let him get hurt, let alone be disappointed in my attitude. I'll be sweeter and will be his companion until we age together. That is my hope and desire, may Allah permit and perfect my intention.
I keep looking at my lover. I grabbed Qeisha's hand and clasped her fingers. He smiled and sometimes we exchanged looks and smiles. And look straight ahead.
"Thank you for coming to fill my empty life." I whispered in his ear.
Qeisha threw such a sweet smile this time. Makes this heart beat very fast.
"Don't smile that sweet... Please.." I asked while kissing the back of his hand.
He stopped his steps.
"Why? My smile is ugly, right?" he asked while holding his lips and cheeks.
"I told you not to smile that sweet... Don't smile that bad." I replied as I gently pulled his hand and walked back.
Ahhh.. Again he smiled too sweetly, even sweeter than that smile.

We finally arrived at the parking lot. I open the door for the beloved of my heart. Niko stuck out her tongue and slammed the front door.
"Main banging the door?" my chirps entered the car and put on the seatbelt.
"Once you were born... Not understanding at all.." Niko answered with a jutek.
Me and Qeisha compactly laughed and hit Niko's shoulders.
"Eat him find a girlfriend.." our cheers together.
Niko moved her lips and started the car with an annoyed face.
"Haha... You think it's gonna be handsome like that pout of a kayak?" Ledek.
"Udah. ngebully enough...." Niko clenched her left hand.
"Yeah baby.. Don't bully anymore... Poor thing.." said Qeisha in a soft tone.
"Yes yes, we will get it later...Hahaha.." I let go of the laughter.
"Udah ah already." added Qeisha.
"Awas y'all..." Niko smiled cunningly and nodded her head many times.
I held back the laughter so that Niko wouldn't get any worse.
"We're going straight to the office to send Qeisha home first?" niko asked as she left the cemetery.
I looked back while answering Niko's question. "We go straight to the office...."
"I took a taxi." chirped Qeisha from behind.
"Where?" I scrunched my forehead.
"Go home dong.." he answered flatly.
"Son.." I answered briefly.
"So how did I get home??" Qiesha raised his eyebrows full of astonishment.
I smiled and winked at Qeisha.
"You come with me to the office.. We'll go home together..."
Qeisha looked surprised. "Huh?!?! Not ahh... No kidding.... What am I doing in your office until the afternoon?" his objection.
"Look at my face... Look at me... I won't feel like it's late in the afternoon either." I tried to tease him.
He spontaneously pulled my face.
"I'm not funny." she looked annoyed but there was still a smile on her lips.
"Just tell me you're happy all day with me.." I keep trying to tease him.
"Ouch... High PeDe what shame is there that no sir?" his teasing while sticking out his tongue.
"The shame that is lost." I replied innocently.
"The same debate you will have is endless." he folded both hands on his chest.
"Come on Qeiii... About bullying, forcing and bullying he is the expert." said Niko while holding back laughter.
"Rubber.." I approve of Niko's words.
And I feel like I managed to tease her and simultaneously make Niko even more arrogant. Qeisha looked annoyed and let out a long sigh. And finally he gave up and resigned to come with this lover.
Actually I am very happy to be next to him until the afternoon. Can look at his face, can enjoy his smile, can smell the benettonpink scent of his clothes. All this time I have harbored all these feelings of admiration. Hiding this love behind my cold and jutek attitude. Missing her secretly, wishing she had not had a lover, impatiently waiting for the morning to come just to look at her.
"Thank you for giving me so much encouragement these past few years..."
"Thank you for always being there even to this second..."
"Thank you for returning my love...
