The Most Beautiful Miss

Stay with me

Arriving at the office.

"Today we don't have a meeting, do we, Koo?" ask Niko while opening my suit.

"There is no Dhit... Only this weekend you have a schedule to go to Sumbar." Niko kept groping her ipad to make sure of my schedule today.

"To Sumbar? How could I forget?" I sat down and massaged my forehead.

"Yes.to check the location of the homestay plan in Payakumbuh.. And that's what you delayed last month." he explained.

"Yes yeah? Did you book a ticket?" many ensure.

"Today's plan..." Niko started to open an app to book air tickets for our scheduled work visit.

"Message to three people Ko.." I asked.

"No hire another employee?" Niko wanted to make sure.

"Sir..message on behalf of Qeisha.."

Qeisha who had been silent on the sofa playing his phone looked shocked when he heard his name called.

"What's wrong?" he asked while looking at us.

"I asked Niko to book a ticket for me, you, and Niko." I tried to answer the question mark that was clearly visible on her facial expression.

"Where's the ticket?" the question is getting curious.

"Ke Sumbar's.... We're visiting there this weekend.." Niko helped answer.

"I'm not going ah.. It will disrupt your work.." Qeisha stood up and approached us.

"Not bother... In fact, I'm getting more work spirit if there's you." I answered honestly without the prestige of acknowledging my feelings.

"But...." Qeisha looked doubtful and objected.

I stood up and hugged him tightly.

"But I want you to always be by my side... You're my ardent and I'd be moody without you..."

Qeisha finally resigned and agreed to come with us.

"Alright, but there's a condition.." Qeisha took off my embrace gently.

"What?" I asked while stroking the brownish Qeisha hair.

"I'm going to the beach... I want to cross the island.I want to stay on the island.I want to open my eyes in the morning treated to the blue sea view... Aahh I miss the smell of the sea." he replied enthusiastically and passionately.

"okay... Easy.." I replied gently and my lips landed on his forehead.

Qeisha just smiled and it was clear she was excited about her holiday this weekend.

"Ko, help me prepare all of Qeisha's requests." I asked my best friend and assistant.

"Ready to the commander.." Niko smiled and said goodbye to return to her room.

Now it's just me and Qeisha. Qeisha chose to sit back on the sofa and pulled out her phone.

"Where will we eat lunch?" I also returned to my seat and grabbed some documents from the table.

"Hhmmm.." it's up to you.

"Would you eat seafood?" ask again.

"May.." he replied as he continued to stare at his phone screen.

"Okay. I finished signing this file first.we're out.."

He just nodded and refocused on his phone. I also focus on the files and documents in front of me. Sometimes I look at him and he stays focused on his phone screen and sometimes even smiles himself.

"Ah..you startled me.." she looked surprised because suddenly I had been sitting next to her.

"Hehee. I've noticed that I'm really engrossed in brain-ticking mobile phones... Until his own smile... Chat who??" I tried to peek at his phone screen.

"Byok eat.I'm hungry.." Qeisha tried to take my eyes off her phone. And hurriedly put the phone into his bag.

"Why are you nervous?" soft ask.

"I'm not nervous, but I'm hungry.. Come eat.." he stood up and pulled my hand.

"OK.." I got up and grabbed his hand, then walked out of the room.

He smiled as usual. Although in my mind there is a strong sense of kepo, but all is lost when I see his smile.

"Co... Come over for lunch." take me to Niko who is busy with a laptop at her desk.

"Okay.u go with Qeisha... I still have work.. Nanggung nih.." answered Niko.

"Rarely coming?" many ensure.

"Yes... Here's the car key... The driver himself is yes.." Niko is back on her laptop.

I grabbed the key from his hand and took a rough breath. I'm the laziest when driving especially at lunchtime like this. But how else, I promised to take Qeisha to lunch outside.

Finally we went out together and ate at Qeisha's favorite restaurant.

"Dhit.." call Qeisha softly while putting the grilled cuttlefish in her mouth.

"Yes dear.." I looked at him lovingly.

"Going home from Sumbar next week.... I went back to Malaysia ya.." he looked doubtful and raised his eyebrows.

"You're back again? Why?" manya curious.

"Hmmm... I promise to return to Malaysia with my mom and dad." she replied gently.

"I'm coming with ya... I want to see your mom and dad." I asked for his approval.

"You've done a lot of Dhit... Yesterday Niko told me that you also have to go to Yogyakarta in the near future.. Niko also told me there was a problem with the IMB letter for some of your resorts in Bangka Belitung... Meet mom and dad another time..."

I scrunched my forehead.

"You're coming back, right?" I hesitated to take it off this time.

"I'll definitely be back..."

"How long have you been there?" ask again.

"Obviously I must have come back here for you." he tried to convince me.

I fell silent and continued my lunch. My heart hesitated this time, probably because I felt very comfortable again. Or I'm drunk in the kasmaran. I want him to be by my side every second. I'm afraid of losing him.

"Are you sure you'll be back? I'd be crazy if you didn't come back here Qei..."

Qeisha smiled and nodded slowly.

"I'm afraid you'll leave me... Maybe the darkness of my life a few years ago will return if you leave me...". I hold his hand strong.

"I'm not gonna let that happen... Your life will not be dark and you will not repeat the same phase as before." he replied trying to convince me again.

I tried to smile. Because I realized that I had no right to forbid it. Malaysia is its home country and its homeland. He was raised and educated from the beginning in Indonesia. Her parents returned to Malaysia when Qeisha was in college for the first semester. He said his grandfather was sick and asked Papa Qeisha to take care of their business there. So since then Qeisha has been going back and forth between the two countries.

"Stay with me.." I cried in my heart.
