Breaking the Promise

Breaking the Promise
Make a decision


Almost an hour, Angel waited for Malik who never came. He was constantly staring at the wall clock.


“Ngel, it's been an hour but your girlfriend hasn't come yet/ Dad has asked Adrian's family to come here soon and they are on their way.” Said Hendra who had prepared a lot of dinner.


Angel bit the tip of her fingernail. He resigned to the fate he had destined. Then, Hendra approached the princess.


“This is best for you, trust me.” Hendra said, embracing his daughter.


“Assalamualaikum.” Suddenly a boisterous voice sounded in front of Hendra's house.


Radit and his wife, children and two grandchildren arrived at the house.


“Waalaikumusalam.” Enin answered his guest's greetings.


“That, they've come. Come get ready to go out.” Hendra said leaving Angel still standing facing the window of his room.


Angel cried again after his father left. He doesn't know what to do and how? Because the man he defended did not fight for his love. He has no power to say no, because on the other hand his love and respect for the father is more than anything.


“Mana Angel?” Ask Dila who did not see the figure of the girl who wanted her granddaughter to meet.


“Still in the room like it, earlier Angel had overslept because tired of preparing this food.” Reply Hendra showed a variety of cuisines at the dining table.


“Wah, this is all Angel cuisine?” Radit asked proudly.


Hendra nodded.


“Angel can already cook since SMA.” Enin Sahut.


“Wah, lucky you, Iyan.” Ledek Dila, while nudging his elbow on the waist of his son who was sitting next to him.


Adrian smiling.


“Then, may we samper mother in her room?” Ask Alika.


“Alika can not wait to meet mother huh?” Ask Dila.


Alika nodded immediately with a wide smile.


“Bby, gih there to!” Hendra answered by stretching his hand towards Angel's room.


Alika followed by her sister immediately ran to Angel's room.


“Munda.” Call Alika after opening the door of the room.


Angel quickly wiped away the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.


“Hai, Darling.” Angel spread out her arms, Alika and Fariz immediately approached Angel and hugged her.


“Kangen, Mother.” Said Alika.


“Iya, Fariz too.” Said the five-year-old boy who was already fluent in his grammar.


“Mother also kangen.” Angel replied after loosening her embrace.


Angel smiled looking at these two cute little boys.


“Alika looks fatter, but Fariz doesn't. Faris still hard to eat huh?” Ask Angel.


“Iya, Bun. Fariz tuh picky eating.” Answer Alika.


“Soalya made food aunty does not taste good.” Answer Fariz plain.


They laugh too.


“Eh yes, said papa, soon Mother will stay with us? If Mother who cooks may be better than aunt and I prefer to eat.” Said Fariz again.


Angel speechless.


“Iya, right, Bun? Mommy will stay with us?” Ask Alika too.


“Hmm.. do you want Mother to stay in your home?” Angel asked again, stroking Alika and Fariz's hair.


Adrian deliberately passed Angel's room, he said to the toilet to the parents who were sitting with him in the living room. Adrian saw the togetherness of his two children there, it is true what the mother said. Both of his sons loved Angel.


Alika and Fariz nodded.


“You once, Bun. Surely every night Mother will tell a fairy tale before going to bed for us.” Sahut Alika's.


Angel smiled.He looked at Alika and Fariz's cheerful face. He remembered a childhood that did not get the love of a mother.


“Alright, Mother will stay at your home.”


“Hore.” Alika and Fariz jumped up in excitement.


Fariz looked back and saw the father standing by the door of Angel's room. The boy immediately ran over to the father and Adrian quickly caught his son, then carried him.


“Papa, Mommy wants to stay with us.” Fariz said enthusiastically.


“Oh yes?”


“Iya, Papa. Anyway papa must immediately bring Mother to our home.”


Adrian nodded. “Good.”


The parents sitting in the living room heard Fariz's screams and his conversation with Adrian.


“Look, Ndra. The kids are okay. We just set the wedding day.” Said Radit.


“Truely, how about next month.” Sahut Dila who wants to see his son immediately release a widow.


“What's not in a hurry?” Ask Enin.


“No, Enin.” Answer Dila.


“But, in Jakarta Angel lectures again. After marriage, what about college?” Ask Hendra.


“No problem, college stays college.” Reply Radit.


“It's not so, Yan?” Radit asked when he saw Adrian had rejoined.


Angel and Adrian's two children ran away from the room and joined the others after he greeted Adrian's parents one by one.


“Where did you go to college?” Adrian looked at Angel.


“In post-graduate school, but I took an afternoon lecture because of the morning work.” Answer Angel politely.


“But after marriage, Angel will stop working and only leave, in order to still be able to take care of the family.” Said Angel again.


Before leaving the room, Angel was determined to forget all her love story with Malik. One of them by staying away from all the things that will bring him to the man.


“Wah, look, Yan. Angel mature once right.” Dila with eyes on her son.


Adrian nodded.


“Alhamdulillah then. That's a good decision, son.” Hendra said to his daughter.


“Alright, then true my wife said. Soon Adrian will marry Agel, one month from now. Okay well? Agree?” Ask Radit girang.


Radit's eyes were fixed on Enin and Enin nodded. Radit looked back at Hendra.


“I did follow, if the two candidates who will marry agree. I definitely agree.” Answer Hendra.


“How's Angel? Adrian?” Ask Radit.


Adrian nodded and his eyes fell on Angel. While Angel just looked down, he did not return anyone's gaze. Agel nodded.


“Aalhamdulillah's. Finally we booked too, Ndra.” Radit happily hugged the body of his best friend.


Hendra patted Radit on the back. “Iya, did not expect at all this would happen.”


Dila and Eninikut laughed seeing the two middle-aged men laughing happily. While Adrian only speechless with the eyes fixed on Angel who was still down. Until Angel's head was downed due to the surprise of Alika and Fariz who were happy and hugged him.


“Hore, means next month Mother is already living in our house?” Ask Alika again.


Angel menagngguk's. “Alika and Raniz happy?”


“Thank you, Bun.” Alik and Faris replied afterwards.


Angel hugged the bodies of the two children.


“I'm sorry, Brother. Sorry I have taken this decision unilaterally.” Angel said in his heart to Malik who did not come until the night was late.
