The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 54'S

William tapped his finger on the living room table. Zoya did not come home when soon she had to undergo therapy. He's restless. William will not do therapy if there is no Zoya who accompanies him.

Drrt ... Drrt ....

William took his cell phone out of his pants pocket. He frowned seeing his doctor's name on his phone screen.

“Halo, Doctor,” greet William.

“Halo, Mr. William. I want to tell you that today the therapy team cannot come to your home because in the hospital there are patients who need intensive treatment. I tried calling Zoya but her phone was not picked up,” explained the doctor.

“Really? My wife was in the market, maybe she didn't hear it because it was noisy there,” William said, covering his wife.

“Alright, Sir. That's all I want to say. I hung up the phone. Good afternoon,” said the doctor then closed his call after being approved by William.

William wonders where Zoya actually went until she ignores the doctor's call. Suspicion for the sake of suspicion permeated the man's mind. He clenched his hands tightly imagining that the wife was most likely away with another man. The fact that the man was a Damar who was no less successful and handsome than William made William increasingly black. He did not want to lose to his rival.

“Where is Zoya actually? I am so hungry,” William said. He pushed his wheelchair towards the dining table and found the dining table empty. He went to the kitchen and picked up an apple from the fridge to prop his stomach up.

Because Zoya did not go home, William finally had to order food online because the worms in his stomach had been thrashing since. The man was forced to eat with an upset heart. William swore at his wife from earlier because Zoya immediately went without permission first to him.

William is still faithfully waiting for Zoya, waiting for the girl to come home until dusk arrives. The man from earlier checked on the terrace from the window of his study room to determine whether Zoya had come or not. Over and over again he did, but he still did not find Zoya coming. The man could not even concentrate on his work because Zoya did not come. He's worried that something bad is going on with Zoya out there.

“Where did Zoya actually go? Why doesn't he come home?” ask William.

William is eager to call his parents to ask if Zoya is there but he does not want his parents to get angry if he finds out Zoya is leaving the house.

“Is it possible that Zoya visited her old house? Ah, no way, she must have indeed left with the man,” grumbled William.

The jealousy he felt had already defeated his logic. Out of all the possibilities of Zoya's current whereabouts, William is more convinced that Zoya is cheating on him. Plus, their quarrel last time was caused because William forbade Zoya to meet with Damar.

“Zoya must have taken the opportunity to go see the man when I left earlier,” William muttered with fiery eyes. “Awas only if he really went to see the man.”

After the adzan maghrib reverberated, Zoya finally arrived. William waited for the girl while folding his hands in front of his chest. Zoya is shocked and almost hits the door as William welcomes her.

The girl came with a more beautiful and fresh face. His appearance is also interesting. This makes William more convinced that Zoya had gone on a date with Damar.

“Mas, you surprise me,” said Zoya, trying to be ordinary. The girl walked in, then closed the door to William's house.

Zoya who could feel the aura of anger William gulped his saliva. The girl tried to act calm even though her heart was racing. He just wanted to go to the spa and eat gelato and go home. But, Uci instead approached him so he inevitably ended up going to chat with Uci first in the cafe until it was already dusk. Having not met with Uci for a long time makes Zoya forget the time because the topic of their conversation becomes very much.

“I went to the spa in the next block, Mas,” Zoya replied as she was.

“One full day?” asked William with a full glance. He doesn't believe Zoya's words. Wulan used to go to the spa, but never for a full day. At least a few hours.

“I stopped by the cafe for a while because I met my friend,” Zoya replied.

William snorted loudly. “Friend or the guy?” the accusation.

“What man do you mean, Mas? My girl friend,” Zoya replied, frowning.

“I know that you must have met Damar, right? Therefore you go a full day without remembering the time at all. You even ignored the call from my doctor. Did you forget that today I have a therapy schedule?” ask William.

Even though he already knew that his therapy schedule was off, William would still scold Zoya for that reason. He does not care if his anger is rational, he just wants to vent his whole heart.

“Mas, I'm sorry. I really don't mean to forget your therapy schedule. Have you been doing therapy?” ask Zoya.

William grunting. “Do you still need to ask?” William asked back.

Zoya sighed. “Are you waiting for me, Mas?” ask him to divert the conversation.

“I'm not waiting for you at all,” replied William, prestige if admit it. “Not be too confident. Why am I waiting for the arrival of women who prefer to go with other men?”

At the moment he is furious with Zoya, there is no way he can make Zoya big head by admitting that he was waiting for Zoya's arrival. What Zoya has will be even more underestimating later.

“Whatever you say, Mas. I want to rest. We both left today. So, I guess you have eaten too so I don't have to cook for you tonight,” Zoya said then walked to the elevator.

“Zoya! I'm not done talking,” scolds William. But Zoya doesn't listen to William at all. The girl continued to go ahead of William towards the third floor. While William had to wait a while to take turns wearing the elevator because it was abandoned by Zoya.

Upon arrival in the room, William sees Zoya sleeping on the left side of his bed. After some time of therapy, William has started to be able to move his body. But, she wants to find a way to attract Zoya so she pretends to fall while moving out of a mattress wheelchair.

Bruk!
