The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 34'S

William smiled when his eyes accidentally found his parents' car from the rearview mirror of the car. Looks like her parents are worried if William dumps Zoya somewhere. If I'm honest, William liked the idea. She can be free from the distraction of the girl sitting next to her wearing a wedding dress if she throws Zoya away in the middle of nowhere.

But no, William would not do such a thing. William wants to get Zoya out of her life because of Zoya's own initiative without her having to bother getting rid of the girl. If she gets rid of Zoya, her parents will definitely look for Zoya and look for Zoya until they meet. But if Zoya chooses to leave, then William will be free from the entanglement of his parents' request.

William never wanted to marry the girl sitting next to him, really. But Leila's idea has a point. He will unmask Zoya so that her parents will never trust Zoya again. Unknowingly it makes William eager to live his life. Yes, the spirit to unmask Zoya.

‘Why doesn't he talk to me at all? Do I have to talk to him first?’ ask Zoya in my heart.

Zoya glanced at William. He lowered his head in fear of William's sharp gaze, which seemed to kill him. Zoya avoids William's gaze because she still loves him. Sounds excessive, but that's what happens.

“Mas, is his house still far from here?” ask Zoya at the end. They had traveled for more than two hours, yet they had not arrived yet.

Zoya's body feels sore, sore because their wedding is also sore because sitting in the car for hours. He wanted to get home and rest. Zoya does not expect the first night from William. No, the reason Zoya wasn't because William was paralyzed but because he felt that William wouldn't touch her. Staring at Zoya he is reluctant, especially if you have to live the first night with Zoya.

“Before we arrive,” replied William briefly. The man was still staring straight at the rearview mirror, not looking towards Zoya at all.

See it? How could Zoya expect the first night from a cold guy like William. Just answering the question is lucky.

Zoya squeezes her dress, nervously sitting next to William without knowing what to do or say what. Her lips were cuddled every time she wanted to say something. There were many things she wanted to ask William, about the reason why the man had finally accepted their matchmaking.

‘Yes God, why is he so cold like this? I don't know if I can afford to live a domestic life with a man like William, ' Zoya murmured in her heart.

If Zoya could choose, she would never choose William to be her husband. The man was cold-hearted and did not consider him a wife. Just a few hours ago, they had a wedding. But, William has behaved like a stranger who does not know Zoya at all.

Meanwhile, Wulan and Ryan who follow the car carrying William and Zoya seem restless because they do not get to William's new home. The house was predicted to be the new residence of William and Zoya because William had prepared it for the woman who would become his wife.

“Why is the place so far away, Pa?” wulan asked her husband who was driving the car.

“I don't know either, Ma. It's been really far from the city center,” Ryan replied. The man continued to concentrate on driving his car.

After almost three hours of travel, they finally arrived at a luxurious house on the edge of the city. The house is modern style with nuances that blend with nature. The house is dominated by glass material and there are various ornamental plants in the house.

“Look, Pa. We didn't choose Zoya to be William's wife. He was not indifferent at all to William when he knew that William was paralyzed,” said Wulan, praising Zoya.

“Iya, Mother. Thank goodness we didn't choose the wrong daughter-in-law,” Ryan replied.

They both continued to observe William and Zoya. From a distance William seemed to smile sweetly at Zoya, then took Zoya in together. Zoya pushes William's wheelchair while their belongings are unloaded by the driver from the trunk of the car.

“It looks like our worries have been wrong all along, Pa. William can accept Zoya and does not want to use Zoya as we fear,” said Wulan. She smiles happily seeing her son seem to receive Zoya well. Although in front of him William looks indifferent with Zoya, behind him William looks sweet.

Ryan smiled happily. He agreed with the wife about his son. He decides to go home after confirming that Zoya and William are doing well in their new home.

“You call Desi and Leila so they don't worry. After this we just go home,” said Ryan with a feeling of relief. Now there's nothing for them to worry about anymore.

On the other hand, Zoya seems confused because suddenly William is being sweet to her. The man even for the first time smiled at her. The girl had no idea that William was doing all this solely because her parents were watching them from a distance.

Zoya pushes William's wheelchair with pleasure because she feels that it is her duty as the wife of William Sadjaja. She smiled faintly at the thought that William might have accepted her as a wife.

William who realized that his parents' car had driven away from his front home changed the look of his face from the first full of smiles to the look of a face that was not friendly at all.

“Stop,” he told Zoya in a cold tone of voice.

Zoya looked down, trying to stare at William but was surprised to find William looking at her hatefully.

‘Where did the friendly Liam go?’ ask Zoya in my heart. He doesn't know what's wrong. He also did not understand why William's attitude changed for no apparent reason.

William pulls the key out of his pants pocket, then asks Zoya to open the door. Zoya accepts the key happily, then turns the doorknob.

As soon as the door opened perfectly, Zoya pegged in place. His chest felt tight as he looked at a large photo that welcomed his arrival. 

“Welcome, Lady Zoya,” said William full throttled. In his heart he smiles happily when he sees Zoya's surprised expression when he sees her picture with a friendly-looking woman on the wall.
