The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 36'S

If the bride and groom are generally going to spend the first night doing something that is their biological need, it is unlikely that this will happen in the Zoya and William household. Let alone spending the night together, even they sleep separately. Zoya does not know where William's room is and vice versa. The two lovebirds looked like strangers who were forced to live together.

Yeah, actually that statement is not wrong either. In fact Zoya and William are two strangers who are united in marriage after the matchmaking process. Neither of them knew each other very well. Ah, just saying hello almost never happens.

However, Zoya chose not to worry about it. Zoya thinks this is a good thing because her body is very tired and needs time to rest. Instead of staying up all night with William, Zoya would definitely prefer to sleep on her soft bed and go to the island of dreams.

His heart was indeed sad because he had to face the bitter fact that the husband did not want it at all. However, he took the positives out of it all and concluded that William may not want to touch a woman he does not love.

After nearly an hour of trying to close her eyes, Zoya finally fell asleep. He is not the type of person who can sleep in a foreign place. However, inevitably he had to force himself because from today he will live in William's luxurious house.

The next morning, as soon as the rays of dawn slipped into the sidelines of her room ventilation, Zoya opened her eyes. He woke up from sleep while yawning wide. The girl stretched out her arms, stretching her muscles that felt tense from exhaustion. This morning, he woke up in a much fresher condition than last night.

“What time is it now?” muttered. Since there is no wall clock in her room, Zoya picks up her phone on the nightstand and checks the clock. “Ah, still five o'clock in the morning turns out,”.

Zoya is about to pull the blanket back and fall asleep again in a dream when she remembers that there are no servants or chefs in this house. The girl rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, then ran towards the kitchen.

“Why can I forget that there are no servants in this house?” grunts to himself.

Zoya opens the refrigerator. His eyes widened when he saw how complete the food ingredients here were. Zoya smiled faintly, as if William had deliberately asked someone to go shopping so that Zoya would cook food for him.

“Alright, Liam. I accept a challenge from you. I will cook for you and impress you with my delicious cuisine,” Zoya said.

He stood in front of the refrigerator while thinking about what he would cook this morning for the two of them to have breakfast. After deciding what to cook, Zoya takes the ingredients from the refrigerator and arranges them on the kitchen table. He started cooking the food he was going to make.

Meanwhile, William had just woken up from his sleep. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Luckily, the bathroom had been prepared with equipment that could make it easier for him to bathe himself without help from Zoya. So, he can immediately clean himself without the need to dizzy asking for Zoya's help.

“The woman is definitely not awake. She is a spoiled girl. Surely he just woke up at ten,” William muttered in his heart as the shower poured out of the shower.

She accidentally doesn't tell Zoya that she's used to getting up early and having breakfast so she can find Zoya's fault. Zoya would have never expected that William would get used to waking up early.

‘I will soon have proof that you are not a good wife to me, ' William murmured inwardly. ‘Papa and Mama must have told me to cheer up Zoya if they knew the girl they were proud of couldn't take care of her child.’

After taking a shower and changing clothes, William pushed his wheelchair into the elevator. He pressed the ground floor button. Arriving on the ground floor, William pushed back his wheelchair. This time he heads to the kitchen because he believes that Zoya must not have woken up.

A normal guy out there would definitely say that Zoya looks many times more beautiful when she is cooking. William the frozen heart even for a few seconds was fascinated with the beauty of Zoya.

William shook his head. He should not feel fascinated by women who take away his freedom to choose a partner. Zoya even makes her parents betroth them when they know exactly that William does not love Zoya.

“Again, Mas. You've woken up,” greet Zoya briefly and then refocus on her cooking.

Women look many times sweeter when they are doing something they love to do carefully. Just like Zoya is doing right now.

Being beautiful and having the ability to cook is two plus points for a woman. What's more because of the many stereotypes that beautiful girls usually can't cook. Of course Zoya is one of the women who can be praised by people for it.

William clenched his hand. He is upset that he failed to unmask Zoya. Now he instead has to wait for Zoya who is cooking like a couple in a romantic movie that is opposite to what was said by William earlier.

“You want to eat now or later, Mas?” ask Zoya again while preparing the cuisine of the two of them.

“Hmmm,” the answer is short.

Zoya smiled faintly, then served her homemade food at the dinner table. Zoya also pushes William's wheelchair towards the dining table.

“Try my cooking,” says Zoya. He looked at William who still had not answered. “Mas, you should try my cooking. Take it easy I don't poison your food,” Zoya continued.

William was forced to feed himself with a spoonful of food. The man widened his eyes because he did not think that Zoya was very good at cooking. Zoya's cuisine is delicious. William was surprised when he felt it.

But no, William will continue to look for Zoya's faults. After eating about half of the food, she scolds Zoya and says that Zoya's cooking is not good.

“You want to kill me, huh? Bad cuisine like this why is it served?” william said as he spewed out a bit of his food on his plate.

“You can cook or not? If just cooking the dictionary is not becus, what about other work?” ask William to berate Zoya's food.

Unable to get an answer from Zoya, William again pushed his wheelchair towards the workspace.
