The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 102 IS FINISHED

William could only stare at the state of his apartment blankly. Every memory with Zoya ever created in this apartment, comes to mind William now. How this sweet smile always welcomes him every morning, his friendly and patient attitude that can melt William's heart, as well as every motivation given by Zoya so that William can recover as before. Those are all very precious memories for William.

When William heard the bell of his apartment that rang, William was very upset, because the voice had awakened William from his daydream. Seeing Renata at the door of her apartment. William just opened the door and went back in and sat on the couch.

“William, how are you doing now? Do you know if I'm really worried about you? I miss you a lot too. Can you see all that in my eyes?” ask Renata.

“What answer do you expect from my lips? I'm broken now. Because Zoya left me. Don't expect me, Renata because I won't come back to you, I just want Zoya. Not another woman including you."

“I didn't expect that you could say something so cruel like this, Will.”

“I lost Zoya because of all this. I never thought about letting Zoya out of my life. But in reality, I've lost Zoya now. Had I not been stuck with love in my past, Zoya would still be by my side now! But in reality, Zoya has already left me."

"I love you, William. I can replace him" said Renata. The expression of love that this time Renata said sincerely from his heart, not because of family incitement or scheming intentions. Seeing the man who had always adored her turn to adore other women made Renata start to realize the feelings in her heart, but unfortunately it was too late when Zoya had already seized her position in William's heart.

"You'll never be able to replace Zoya. You're so different from him. You left after getting money from my mother, and I still stupidly closed my eyes and ears to that fact. Maybe this is all karma for me for all my mistakes" William answered, rubbing his face.

Renata's heart was so broken when she heard William's words. Renata never expected that William would say something so painful like this. But Renata also could not dispute what William said, because it was all true.

“Do you really not want to be with me?” asked Renata so desperately.

“I ...”

“Please don't say anything, William. You're just sad right now. You can't think clearly after your divorce with Zoya. I won't be discussing our relationship anymore. We can start all this from the beginning. But please, don't ask me to stay away from you, I can't afford to lose you. I ask maag for all my mistakes, I beg you!” the Pinta Renata that had now broken down on the floor.

William who saw it certainly felt unbearable, but William did not want to give false hope to Renata.

Six months have passed, Renata is still trying to get back together with William but William always rejects Renata. Likewise, William is always eager to pursue Zoya, hoping for forgiveness and a third chance from Zoya, but Zoya has completely closed her heart to William.

Now William is venting all his grief by working. William doesn't even care about his health anymore.

William is no longer as warm as he once was. Just working on things can help William a little forget his sadness, regret and longing for Zoya.

"William, is there no chance for us?" tanya Renata still wished there was a chance for them to start things over again.

"I just want Zoya. Don't expect me" replied William briefly.

“Alright, I understand now. I won't force you to remember our love stories from the past. Because it all happened only a few years ago. I'm sorry, for being between you and Zoya. I'm going to give up our love now. I hope you can get back together" said Renata, who eventually

“Thank you, Renata. I also hope you find a better man than me." William hugged Renata.

Renata could only return William's embrace which became a farewell hug between the two of them.

“Pursue your love, William. Please apologize to her, because I know my actions hurt her so much. May you manage to get your love back, William.”

Even though returning to Zoya is impossible, I always hope to be back with her. William said in his heart.

That day, Renata and William try to come to terms with their past. They have also agreed to open a new life page, with a partner who will accompany them in the future.

Zoya is also currently in her study. With each memory of her past with William, Zoya's tears return. However, the feeling of love will not disappear in just a short time. Even to go back with Zoya can't.

As Zoya is pensive, Zoya is startled by the sound of knocking on the door in front of her study. Zoya immediately allowed the person behind the door to enter.

“Did my arrival bother you this afternoon, Zoya?” ask Damar carefully.

“No, why do you think that your arrival will bother me? I'm certainly happy when you visit me. So you don't have to feel too shy like that to me, Mas Damar.” Zoya always appreciates the presence of Damar, because Damar is a man who always cares for him since the beginning of Zoya knows him. The only person who has never and probably will never leave Zota no matter what.

“What are you thinking? Do you remember your ex-husband? If you still love her, why did you let her go, Zo?” ask Damar.

"No. I was just thinking about my future plans" Zoya replied in denial.

Despite denying his words, Damar sees clearly the sadness in Zoya's eyes and it all makes Damar feel a bit of pain in his heart.

Damar knows what he's going to say might surprise Zoya, but Damar doesn't want to put it on hold like he used to. Damar does not want to be too relaxed chasing Zoya like he used to, which ultimately makes Damar lose Zoya.

"Am I included in your future plans? Is there a chance for me to replace him?" asking Damar who was right made Zoya surprised to hear it.

"Yes..."

"Sorry if I'm sassy. I just want to be honest with you. I don't want to lose you like I used to. I tried to let you go first, and always wished you happiness. But that guy hurt you. I'm not gonna let you go back to her, Zo. I don't want to lose you a second time. I'll make up for all the sadness you've been feeling all along. I will replace all that with abundant happiness. I'll try to be a good man for you. Please give me a chance to prove everything I say" Damar said, holding Zoya's hands.

"Mas, why are you so good to me? There are a lot of women out there who are much better than me" Zoya said.

“Maybe there. But for me you're the best woman I've ever met. You deserve happiness too. I don't want you to dissolve in sadness like this. Because many people love you, including me who always feel pain every time I see you cry. I know it's going to be hard, but try to walk with me to forget everything. I won't force you to accept me if in the end you can't feel what I feel for you. I just want you to give me a chance to help you forget her."

Zoya shed tears hearing everything Damar said. Damar who saw that quickly wiped it. "I don't want to see you cry anymore. Smile, I'll always be here with you. I will take care of you from all the things that will hurt you, I love you, Zoya. I really sincerely love you from the beginning I know you until now that love is still there and getting bigger for you" said Damar revealed everything in his heart so far.

Zoya silently digested all of Damar's words. If only Zoya had not met William in the past, perhaps the feeling of joy and comfort that used to be in her heart for Damar would have grown into love. Maybe they will get married, have children and have a happy life.

Zoya tries to think about all that, what Damar said is true. Forgetting William was the first thing he had to do before finally opening his heart to receive a new name occupying his heart.

Zoya held out her hand at Damar who looked a little confused looking at her. "Come on! Didn't Mas Damar say he wanted to walk with me? Take my hand and don't let go of me!" Zoya smilingly looks at Damar who is also smiling brightly hearing Zoya's remark which indirectly gives a chance to her.

"Thank you for always being there for me. I am so grateful that God brought me to you" said Zoya.

"Never say thank you to me, because I'm the lucky one to meet you. My life wouldn't be perfect if I didn't meet you" Damar replied giving his best sincere smile with loving eyes to Zoya.

I promise I'll make you forget her. I will also try to take his name in your heart. Let's get that happiness together. Inner Damar.
