The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 45'S

Seeing the photos of Renata being pushed aside by her parents, William's anger mounts. She wanted to protest and forbid her parents from taking pictures of Renata, but she knew her parents very well. They will certainly still do it especially with the condition of William who is paralyzed surely William can not stop what is done by his parents.

Upset with his parents, William pushes his wheelchair back into the elevator, then goes to his room regardless of calls from his parents.

“This is all because of Zoya!” aspir William. His eyes narrowed sharply. He squeezed his hand tightly until his knuckle turned white. He swears inwardly that he will further make Zoya suffer because Zoya has caused William to quarrel with his mother.

Meanwhile, Wulan felt very guilty towards Zoya. He couldn't imagine how Zoya had suffered in the past month. Wulan should have been more sensitive and would not have allowed William to take Zoya away from Wulan and Ryan. If you know it will end like this, Wulan feels like he wants to turn back time so he can rethink the decision of Wulan and Ryan that day.

“Zoya, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect William to be this evil to you,” Wulan said. Tears came down from his cheeks. She felt very ashamed and guilty towards Zoya.

“Ma, let's sit down on the sofa,” said Zoya, leading Wulan to sit on the sofa.

Ryan who finished taking photos of Renata told Leila to bring the photos of Renata to the warehouse. Afterwards, she joins Zoya and Wulan in the living room.

“Zoya, we are truly sorry to have betrothed William to you. What William did to you is completely inappropriate and outrageous,” Wulan said. The woman grabs Zoya's hand, then squeezes it.

“Zoya, will you forgive our mistakes?” tanyakanya.

Zoya wiped Wulan's tears. Smiling softly, he said, “Ma, Pa, I forgive you guys. Never mind, there's nothing to regret. Everything has happened.”

“Liam is really brash, Pa. I didn't know he could do that,” complained Wulan.

From childhood, Wulan always taught William to appreciate everyone, especially women. William also never once did evil to women from him small because Wulan always said that if William hurt women, then it means the same as William hurt Wulan.

But, since knowing Renata ... William seemed to forget everything Wulan had taught him since he was a child. The man often denied and rebutted. In fact, William can do evil to his wife just because Zoya takes Renata's place.

Wulan had no idea where William's mind went. Only because a woman who was insincere loved him could she do this kind of thing. Not only did he hurt Zoya, William also humiliated Wulan and Ryan.

“Maybe Liam still needs time to forget his ex-lover. I can understand because forgetting someone who is loved will not be easy,” Zoya said with a faint smile.

Zoya can say that because she also experienced the same thing. One month of her marriage to William did not make her forget Damar. It is hypocritical that Zoya says that she no longer loves Damar because her heart still calls out the name of Damar without pause. The feeling that Zoya has towards Damar is so great that nothing can make her easily turn away from the figure of Damar.

What distinguishes Zoya and William is only one, ego. Zoya can suppress her ego and learn to accept fate. While William? He couldn't hold back his ego at all. The man could not hide his dislike for their marriage.

If only they hadn't been married, Zoya would have happily separated from William. But, now their status is husband and wife. Zoya has also promised herself that she will repay Wulan and Ryan by helping William get well.

Zoya alternately looked at Wulan and Ryan. He took a deep breath then smiled sincerely. Zoya's smile is like a soft cooling lamp.

“Ma, Pa, I'll help William to a new cure I'll leave because I know only in this way I can repay your kindness all along,”.

Wulan and Ryan were speechless. They looked at each other, then repeatedly said apologies and gratitude.

“Zoya, forgive us and thank you for helping our son,” said Ryan, representing his wife.

Zoya nodded. “No problem, Pa. By the way, let's go to the room I cleaned for William's therapy,” Zoya asked, diverting the conversation.

Wulan, Zoya, Ryan, and Leila went to the room. The room was an empty room that had a large glass facing the backyard. Zoya and William agree to choose the room so that William can see the garden behind the house.

After finishing preparing the therapy equipment and installing it, Wulan, Leila, and Ryan went home. Zoya escorts them to the door and then goes to her room. Zoya knows William will be mad at her, but she must meet William. He would try to respond to William calmly.

William who saw the arrival of Zoya immediately gushed Zoya with scorn. She stares at Zoya, feeling deeply resentful of Zoya who has divided her family.

“What are you doing here for? Are you still not satisfied with what happened earlier?” maki Williams. “Basic cunning woman!”

Zoya breathed a tired sigh. She tried to calm down even though William's words hurt her enough. But no, Zoya must not be weak. She had to be a strong woman in the face of William.

“Liam, I really didn't know that your parents would come here. If I had known, I would have hidden the photos of your ex-lover,” Zoya said, defending herself.

William flicked his hand in the air. “Halah! Not much of a reason! I know that you must actually be happy to do all that. You certainly do intend to get rid of Renata, ‘kan?” ask William. The man squinted his eyes. “Originally you know, Zoya. You will never be able to replace Renata in my life. Forever only Renata I will love.”

Zoya smiled faintly. He was not surprised at all by William's words. The story of William loving Renata is nothing new to Zoya.

“William, I know you love Renata. I'm not here to replace Renata. I know my position, I will not take anyone's place,” Zoya said, leaving William speechless and stunned in his place.
