The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 63'S

The two lovebirds were still sleeping in each other's arms when the sunlight had already slipped into their rooms. Sleeping in a position to hug each other apparently makes the quality of their sleep better than usual. Tonight, Zoya and William are able to fall into a deep sleep due to the comfort channeled by each other. If you knew sleeping while hugging Zoya would be this comfortable, William would have done it from far away.

Both of them woke up when the clock had shown ten o'clock in the morning, so deep sleep they forgot about breakfast. Zoya yawns wide as she gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom to clean up first. He needed a cold shower to make his sleepiness go away.

At the same time, William also woke up from his long sleep. The man groped the side of the bed and did not find Zoya beside him. The man turns wide, looking for Zoya's whereabouts in the room but finds none. William thinks Zoya ran away from him for regretting what they did last night. It was only when he heard the splashing sound of water that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

William glanced towards the wall clock. It's ten in the morning. The man did not expect that he had been asleep for very long when it felt like he had just closed his eyes for a moment. Maybe sleeping in Zoya's arms has its own magical power and makes William forget time.

Fifteen minutes later, Zoya comes out of the bathroom with a fresher face. William greeted Zoya with a big smile. Zoya who was not used to it all blushed in embarrassment.

“Do you want to shower now, Mas?” ask Zoya.

William nodded his head. “Iya. Please help me, will you?” the door is in a very subtle tone of voice. Zoya had never even heard William speak this smooth before. Did William always behave like this to Renata before?

Unlike William's house which provides a bathtub, in Zoya's house there is only a shower so William must take a bath assisted by Zoya to be finished quickly and William is not tired because it supports his body using a stick for too long.

After the two were done, they did not directly come out of the room. They are busy chatting and relaxing as if they do not feel hungry even though the worms in their stomachs have thrashed.

“When was the photo taken?” william asked when he saw a photo on the wall. In the photo, Zoya is seen smiling in front of the camera while posing hugging Desi on the beach.

“Ah, the photo was taken when I just moved into this house. At first I didn't feel at home and still think about my parents. Then, Auntie took me to the beach to cheer me up. From then on I became fond of this place,” explained Zoya.

Zoya remembers when she moved into this house. He could not sleep all night because he felt alien to the environment he lived in. Moreover, he was also not too familiar with Desi. Fortunately that day Desi took him for a walk and they told him about many things, from which Zoya and Desi finally became familiar.

“You look so cute in that photo,” praise William.

Zoya chuckles. “The photo was taken when I was a child, it's only natural that I was still cute,” he replied.

“But even now you are still cute. Just look more mature,” said William, making a red tinge appear on Zoya's cheek.

“You could have, Mas,” reply Zoya shyly.

“I'm serious, Zoya. You are beautiful,” said William, increasingly making Zoya wrong.

Being constantly praised by William made the girl feel as if she was soaring into the seventh sky. He felt very happy and very pounding. Oh, myGod! It feels like Zoya just wants to drown herself in the Indian Ocean!

On the other hand, Desi had just finished cooking lunch. Since Zoya and William did not wake up and skip breakfast, Desi decided to cook quite a bit this afternoon so that the two of them could stay full.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....

Desi knocks on Zoya's room door. Not long after, Zoya opened the door with a big smile. “What's up, Aunty?” tanyakanya.

“Lunch is ready. Let's eat together. This morning you missed breakfast too. You must be very hungry,” replied Desi.

Zoya nodded. “Good, Aunt. I'll follow you to the dining room. I'll tell Mas Liam first,” Zoya replied.

Desi nodded and went to the dining room first.

This afternoon, William and Zoya came out of the room in a very different state than last night. The two looked more affectionate even though William was still limping with a cane, when he entered the room last night they looked awkward. Desi was certainly aware of this but the middle-aged woman chose not to discuss it. She was happy because Zoya and William looked like a harmonious couple.

‘What happened last night? Why are they so romantic like this?’ desi asked inwardly, then shook her head. It feels like he misses the youth when he sees the affection of Zoya and William.

“Wah, the smell is very delicious from the room,” Zoya said with a smile towards Desi. Looking at Desi who was looking at him with a meaningful smile, Zoya turned her eyes away.

Zoya helps William sit down, then takes a seat next to William. Zoya painstakingly seems to serve William, taking the food that William wants patiently and without complaining at all.

“Mas, Aunt Desi was my nanny after my parents died,” Zoya said, introducing William to Desi.

Desi chuckles. “Zoya, I already know your husband,” he said.

Zoya widened her eyes. “Really?” tanyanya did not believe.

“Aunt Desi worked at my house when I was a kid, Zoya. It used to be Aunt Desi and Leila who took care of me when Mama and Papa went abroad to work,” William said firmly.

“Ah, so it seems.” Zoya turned her head towards Desi. “Why Aunty never told you before?”

“Because you didn't ask. If you ask Auntie must have told you that,” go to Desi.

Zoya nodded her head. She then asked, “Is this why Auntie won't help me escape this arranged marriage? Because Auntie knows Mas Liam?”

Desi chuckles slowly. “The main reason is not that. But, yes, because I know your husband from the past of course I know that the decision of his parents is good,” Desi replied.

Zoya chuckles, not expecting that Desi knows William from long ago. They continued their lunch quietly while occasionally chatting lightly.
