The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 61'S

Today, Zoya and William are getting ready as they are about to go to Zoya's old house. The relationship between the two lovebirds improved after their conversation that day. William finally allows Zoya to stay at his old house where he also joins. In addition to his jealousy for Damar, William also wants to know how Zoya's life has been.

“Your stuff no one left behind, ‘kan, Mas?” ask Zoya.

William shakes. “Nothing. We only stay three days and the distance of your old house with this house is also not too far away. If anyone is left behind later I can ask my men to take it,” replied the man.

Zoya nodded her head, then locked the suitcase. After getting ready, Zoya and William descend to the ground floor. With the help of the driver Zoya puts the suitcase into the trunk and helps William get into the car.

Zoya's heart was pounding again because she had to drive by car. The girl was most anti-riding in the vehicle due to trauma in her past. However, to go to Desi's house inevitably Zoya has to drive a car because the distance is very far if taken by foot. The journey by car can be almost two hours, that's if the road is not jammed.

As if Zoya was agitated, William held Zoya's hand and stroked Zoya's back.

“What's up, Zoya? Why do you look so nervous?” william was confused. Not only once did he find Zoya looking like this while driving a car. Ah, even during this time the girl also always chose to walk everywhere because of her fear of riding in a vehicle.

“I'm fine, Mas,” Zoya replied with a faint smile.

“You lied, Zoya. There's no way you're okay but your face is so scared like this,” protested William.

Zoya sighed. “Actually I have the trauma of driving a car, Mas. Not only cars, but other vehicles as well because my parents died in an accident,” Zoya replied with a smile while remembering the creepy incident.

William was surprised to hear it because he did not know about it. She used to think Zoya was a discarded child and was found by her parents. But, apparently the girl harbored a deep bitterness.

William took his phone and earphones and put them in Zoya's ear. “Close your eyes and listen to music so you can be calmer,” the command.

Zoya nodded then closed her eyes. The soft music played by William managed to make Zoya's mind much calmer than before. Just as Zoya is happy because of William's sweet attitude towards her, William is also happy to be able to help Zoya deal with her trauma.

Two hours passed, they finally arrived at Desi's house. The two of them walked towards the door and knocked on the door of Desi's house. Desi's smile expanded as she looked at who was standing before her as she opened the door.

“Zoya, finally you stop by this house again,” said Desi then pulled Zoya into her arms. Months of not meeting makes Desi miss Zoya very much. “This house feels lonely without your presence,” he continued.

Zoya chuckles then lets go of their embrace. “Auntie, I want to introduce Aunt to Mas Liam, my husband. You must have not had time to get acquainted because of our wedding that impressed in a hurry,” said Zoya.

William and Desi shook hands with a smile. Desi was shocked to see the famously cold William smiling at him.

“Why didn't you tell Aunt that you were coming? Luckily I cooked a little. Come on, let's have dinner together,” take Desi.

Zoya and William nodded then walked around Desi towards the dining room. Zoya even leaves her suitcase in the living room because she can't wait to eat Desi's food. For a long time he had not eaten the food made by Desi, he felt homesick.

“That's because of Aunt who taught me to cook, Mas. Aunty was the one your parents assigned to take care of me all this time. I'm grateful that Auntie is like my own parents,” Zoya explained.

William nodded his head. “No wonder your food is delicious. Apparently you've learned from the expert,” William joked with a crisp laugh.

After dinner and a short chat, Zoya and William tell Desi to rest. Desi took advantage of the opportunity to contact Wulan and Ryan because she wanted to tell them something important.

“Halo, Desi. What's up?” wulan asked from across there while staring at the ceiling of the room in confusion.

“I just want to report that Zoya and Mr. William came to my house, Mom,” Desi explained.

“Really?” tanya Wulan turned wide because she never wanted to interact with people who were not too close to her.

“Iya, Mom. I'm very happy because they now look very romantic and get along. In stark contrast to when the brand just got married,” joked Desi, inviting laughter Wulan.

Desi is happy to see the togetherness of Zoya and William, Wulan and Ryan are also happy. They were happy because their son finally wanted to accept the arranged marriage even though initially William was really adamant not to forget Renata. But, look at William now! The man has never even thought of Renata again and is always jealous whenever Zoya permission wants to go somewhere without him.

Meanwhile, Zoya opens the door to her room. The girl pushed her suitcase into the room and gave way to William. Tonight he'll have William rest in his room while he'll sleep with Desi.

“This is my room, Mas. Maybe not as big as your room at home. But, in this room I spent almost half my life,” Zoya said. “Tonight you rest here, yes, Mas?”

William stared at every corner of the room. Although Zoya's room is not a spacious room, but the room is very comfortable and cool. William feels like he's at home there.

“Zoya, tonight we rest together in this room only. There is something I want to say to you,” William said.

“Alright,” Zoya replied as she nodded slowly.

William slowly walked over to the bed and lay on the right side of the bed. After taking a comfortable position, William patted the left side of the bed as if asking Zoya to immediately lie down next to him.

“Come, Zoya. Come here,” William said with a faint smile.

Zoya obeys William's instructions to sleep on the left side of the bed with her head resting on William's hand stretched out to be Zoya's head pad.

The awkward atmosphere enveloped the two lovebirds as they looked at each other realising that their current position was very close and for the first time the distance was meaningless.
