Breaking the Promise
One of Malik's seriousness

“Bram, you hold what?” Tanya Malik, who was having lunch with Abram at a cafe in front of his office.

“Oh, this. apartment brochure, was in front at divide.”

“Those front office apartment?” Ask Malik again, pointing at the tall building not far from the building where he works.

“Yoi, new.” Abram gave me the brochure.

“Good too, deket again same office.”

“Lo, want to buy another apartment?” Ask Abram.

Malik nodded. “But, not for me.”

Malik interrupted his words.

“Create Angel.”

“Jiah, it's getting serious just romannya.” Abram Ledek.

Malik sipped his drink casually, while looking at the brochure he was holding.

“Buruan iket, later if you run dizzy yourself rich boss lu noh. Capek kan you take care of the David, chasing him to Singapore until deportation all.”

Malik nodded. He remembered very well, when he bothered to take care of David who was chasing Sari, until he ignored Angel.

“But I've hooked him another way.” Malik replied casually.

“Don't tell me you're the same Angel.." Abram did not continue his words with words but with body language, he combined his index finger to show bawha Malik and Angel had done something before marriage.

Malik nodded.

"Crazy lo, as many innocent girls as Angel meet crocodile rich lo.”

Malik laughing. “Gue is not a crocodile. I love him just as much. I also want to buy this as a sign that I am serious.”

“Serious it's in marriage, Lik.” Reply Abram.

“If it is, honestly I am not ready.”

“Hah, it's up to you dah.”

“Gue prefers this.” Malik said again.

“Yes, but no girl wants to cram a relationship like this, let alone a good female Angel. He will definitely keep your promise.”

Malik was silent because what Abram said was true. Currently, Angel always whines for him to meet his father in Bandung, but Malik refuses subtly with a million reasons.

****

“Bee, are you still in the office?” Ask Malik to Angel in a whtasapp message.

This afternoon, Malik was with David reviewing underpass projects in the Bogor area.

Angel immediately read the message, after hearing the sound of a notification written on the name of her lover.

“iya, still.” Reply Angel.

“Don't go home first! I'll be at the office soon. We go home together. Something I want to show you.” Malik immediately replied to the message again, because he happened to be stopping at a red light.

Angel smiled reading Malik's reply.

The sun was drowning itself. The day changed night and dark. Angel is waiting for Malik in the lobby.

“Ngel, not home yet?” Yasmin asked walking with Fauzi.

Yasmin and Fauzi are officially dating. Fauzi immediately withdrew, when he knew that Angel and Malik were dating, especially Malik who often expressed his affection in front of Fauzi. Fortunately, Fauzi had not expressed his feelings for Angel at the time.

“Not yet, wait for Malik.”

“Ciye. yes already if so we first ya.” Answer Yasmin.

“Introduction, Ngel.” Fauzi smiled at Angel.

Angel returned the smiles of his two friends, while looking at those who had long ago moved away and were not seen again.

The night was getting late, the office building was getting quieter. It's just Angel sitting in that lobby.

Malik arrived at the office lobby, having escorted David right in the lobby of his apartment. He saw the lover waiting there. Angel is playing her phone. Malik walked up to Angel who had been waiting there for a long time, he carried a flower that was behind his hand.

“Cantics.” Call Malik, making Angel immediately turn to the direction of the voice he was very familiar with.

Angel smiled, because the man she was waiting for finally came too.

“Sorry, yes long ago, I drove Mr. David to his apartment first.”

“This.” Malik gives flowers, as he does every Friday afternoon, when Angel comes home from work.

“Thank you.” Angel received the flower and kissed it.

“You are beautiful.”

Angel sneering. “Gombal, I've done gini in say beautiful.”

Angel pursed her lips, the article tonight she had all day working with makeup that is getting faded and clothes that have not been changed from the morning.

“My perfume alone no longer has any fragrance.” Angel kissed his armpit.

Malik laughing.

“You remain my beautiful and fragrant lover.” Malik embraces Angel's head and takes her home.

Malik opened the passenger door and led his lover to sit there.

“What do you want to show?” Ask Angel enthusiastically.

“There's deh.” Answer Malik sumringah.

Angel thought something else. He thought Malik would take him to a jewelry store to ask him to buy a wedding ring, because Malik always promised to do that in the near future.

Malik drove his car slowly, because the place he wanted to go was very close.

“Kok we got in here?” Angel asked, increasingly confused.

“Who would you like to meet here?”

“There is one. We go in first yuk!” Malik turned off his car engine, after tidying up the parking position.

Angel followed Malik's step that could not be separated to hold his hand. Then, they arrive right at the door of the apartment that Malik bought in the name of Angel.

Malik pressed the button on the doorknob. “Passwordnya our anniversary date.”

Angel nodded and smiled.

After the door opened, Malik led Angel in. He turned on all the lights in the room.

“Whose apartment, sister? How are they empty?”

“This is your apartment. I bought it for you intentionally. No stuff yet, because I just ordered his stuff yesterday and will come tomorrow morning.”

“Hah.” Angel was surprised and shut her mouth.

“Forku?” Angel did not believe it.

Malik nodded. “Stay here, so you are not tired of having to travel a long distance to get to the office.”

“But what was the reason I went to Aunt Ella if I no longer lived in her house. Reason to dad?” Angel asked confusedly.

Malik grabbed Angel's head. This lover of hers was indeed very naive, he could never lie.

“Say to Aunt Ella, if you were rented an apartment near the office by your boss for easy work. Say it like that to your father.” Malik answered, peeping at Angel's head.

Angel turned her head to look at Malik. “I can't lie.”

“You can lie, if you stay at my apartment.”

“It was forced.”

“How about I say honestly, that this is a gift from you. You also meet your aunt and father.”

Malik shook his head and let go of the embrace in Angel's head.

“I'm not ready, Bee.”

“Why? Didn't you promise to see dad, sister.”

“Yes, I promise to see your father, but not now.”

Angel drowned. He no longer knows how to tie Malik up. While he himself has never even been invited to meet Malik's mother or father just to get acquainted. Malik said he rarely met his family because his family was not important.

“Bee, you're not happy I bought this apartment?” Malik asked who was also lethargic to see his lover sad.

“This is not what I want. I just want us to get married. I just want you to prove your seriousness, Brother.”

“Instead, this is early proof of my seriousness, Bee.” Malik grabbed Angel's hands and kissed her.

“Trust me, I'm serious. But give me time to prepare. Patience yes, Bee.”

Angel's head nodded slowly. He understands Malik's psychic condition, because Malik often tells about his childhood, about his parents who always quarrel, until finally divorced. Malik just needs time to get rid of that trauma.
