The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 51'S

Two weeks without feeling it has passed. After Zoya and William quarrel that night, Zoya's attitude tends to be colder than usual. Despite still doing her job as a wife and serving William well, she does not talk much and tends to talk less often. He looked even colder and kept his distance from William.

After their quarrel, they, while in therapy William had fallen so that now the therapy team from the hospital was assigned to come to William's house every day to accompany William to therapy so that the same incident did not happen again. Zoya is grateful because it means she doesn't need to constantly be around William.

This morning, as usual Zoya cooked breakfast for William and served the man. Although not so well with William, Zoya realizes that she has promised to help William until the man is healed and she has also sworn to herself that she will not care about William's words hurting her feelings.

The only thing that makes Zoya angry and disappointed with William is the man's selfish attitude. William asks Zoya to appreciate William's feelings, but never once does William appreciate Zoya's feelings. Whether the fact that Zoya has someone in her heart hurts William so much or just makes William's self-esteem hurt because she thinks he's the only guy who can make a woman fall in love. I don't know, Zoya herself doesn't know either.

What is clear at this time Zoya still does not want to communicate much with William because his heart still feels disappointed with William's unfair attitude.

Today's breakfast is like the breakfast of the last two weeks, there is no conversation between the two lovebirds. Zoya is busy ignoring William. While William was busy rumbling in his heart because he could not find the topic of conversation.

“What time will I be in therapy today?” ask William pretended not to know to look for the topic of conversation.

Zoya. He looked at William in surprise then said, “Are you not in therapy every day at the same time? The therapy team always arrives on time. How can you forget when you have been doing it for a long time?” ask Zoya.

Hearing that, William became misbehaved. He scratched his nape while thinking of the right reason to answer Zoya's question. Until one idea popped into his head.

“I just want to make sure because I have business outside and have to go after this,” said William origin.

“Are you sure you will go?” ask Zoya. No, it's not Zoya's intention to insult William's physical condition or anything. But, all this time William did never go outside other than to do control with the doctor. To work together he did it at home. Let alone work, visiting the home of his parents William was reluctant.

“Iya, I'm sure.” William wiped his lips with a napkin. “I'll be ready soon and go,” he said.

The man pushed his wheelchair away from the dining room. She thinks Zoya will stop her intentions because she can't bear to let William go alone. But in fact Zoya just silently pecked in the dining room without any intention to pursue William at all.

‘Sial, how can Zoya's attitude be back to the way it was? Do I have to let her date the new Damar she'll want to be nice to me?’ ask William in your heart. Just thinking about it made William upset, especially if he had to do it.

Meanwhile, Zoya peeks out of the dining room window and sees William driving away. He was now finally able to curse freely because no William could hear him at any time.

“Basic guy sucks! Selfish! Insensate! Does he think I'm an item that has no feelings?” zoya grumbled as she stomped her feet.

He took the dirty dishes from the dining table and took them to the kitchen and put them in a dishwasher. While waiting for the laundry to clear, Zoya cursed and nagged. He spilled out all the resentment he had endured for the past two weeks.

“Basic guy cold sucks! Just thinking about his own feelings! I was sure he was jealous. Does he think in this world a handsome man is just him? Or does he think I'll just give up every time?” Zoya has a waist. “Ha! Let's see it later, Mom. You will see that Zoya is not a woman who easily resigned. It's nice you want me to appreciate you but you don't want to appreciate me.”

In between her scolding, Zoya's phone suddenly rings. Soon Zoya picks up the call because Uci called her. Zoya can't wait to tell Uci what's going on with her and William.

“Halo, Uci. Where have you been all this time? I've called me many times but you never picked up,” grumbled Zoya.

Uci chuckles. “Sorry, Zoya. Lately the gallery is very crowded visitors and after returning from the gallery I had to help my brother decorate the festival venue in several places. You know for yourself, ‘kan, if my brother works as an event organizer? So, I really have no time to call you back,” replied Uci full of regret.

Zoya sighed. “Iya, I get it,” reply is short.

“What do you want to talk to me about, Zoya? It seems very important,” said Uci with a small laugh.

“I need a friend to tell me about Liam's behavior that is very annoying,” said Zoya, stressing the word ‘sucks’.

Uci could have expected that Zoya would talk about William. Understandably, Zoya lives in the house alone with William so she has no friends to tell stories and share complaints.

“What did he do this time?” ask Uci curious. Zoya's story about William has always been a separate pastime for Uci. Well, at least Uci can take a lesson in not approaching cold-hearted men out there so as not to fared the same as his best friend. Although he knew not all cold men had the same disposition as William, but just in case it was necessary, right?

“He asked me not to communicate with Damar,” Zoya replied.

Zoya's answer caused confusion. Uci does not understand where William knows about Damar and why he told Zoya to stop communicating with Damar.

“Wait, wait ... Since when did William know about Damar?” ask Uci.

Zoya sighed. “Two weeks ago he asked me if I had ever been close to a man so I said that I had been close to Damar. Incidentally also that night Damar called me and Liam suddenly got angry and asked me not to communicate with Damar again,” explained Zoya.

“Can Liam start liking you?” ask Uci.

Zoya. “You don't have to make it up! How could he like me. You know for yourself if he loves his ex-girlfriend very much,” Zoya replies.

“It could be that his feelings have now changed,” said Uci casually.

Zoya fell silent, thinking about Uci's words. ‘Is it possible?’ ask in the heart.
