The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 66'S

William's recovery became the beginning of the complement of Zoya and William's household happiness. To celebrate William's recovery, the man's parents held a dinner banquet at a five-star hotel attended by colleagues and dignitaries who had been wondering where William was and why he was a man he never attended an important meeting in person.

At the event, everyone finally knew that William was apparently married. Some employees who know that William was in a serious relationship with Renata even find it surprising because their boss even married another woman.

“Don't tell me that you've been missing for hiding your marriage,” is always one of William's co-workers named David.

William and Zoya laughed at that.

“No. We have no intention of hiding our marriage. It's just that the time is not yet right to announce our marriage,” replied William.

“How long have you guys been married?” ask David's wife.

“We were married almost a year,” Zoya replied.

“Nearly one year and not a single mass media know?” David widened his eyes. “You guys seem to be very good at hiding. Though you know for yourself that the mass media in this country is very ignorant and likes to disturb the privacy of people.”

“Maybe we were just lucky,” William replied followed by his crisp laugh.

After chatting with the guests, William picked up a glass of champagne and then tapped on it with a small spoon, making the invited guests turn to him and fall silent.

“Good night everyone. I want to thank you for being present at this event,” William said, starting his speech.

“Nearly one year ago I had an accident that caused me paralysis. My parents at that time met me with a beautiful woman who is currently my wife, Zoya.” William pulls Zoya closer towards him. “We decided to get married. At that time I was very desperate and thought that I would never be able to recover. But, because of my wife's patience and her perseverance to help me heal, I was finally able to stand up again as I am today.

I love my wife very much and am very grateful for her sincerity. He is my hero,” said Wiliam. The man looked at Zoya. “Thank you for everything, dear,” he said to Zoya with a nod of his head.

“Today not only celebrated my recovery, but also today I announce my marriage which has been kept secret to all of you. I am so grateful to be married to a great woman like Zoya,”, William said, ending his speech.

All the guests applauded and congratulated William and Zoya. They did not expect that William and Zoya had experienced many difficult things at the beginning of their marriage.

Without Zoya and William noticing, there was someone who saw it all and clenched his hands tightly in anger. That person was Renata who turned out to be staying at the hotel where they were having dinner.

A few hours later, the dinner party was over. Now, Zoya and William are on their way home. Zoya's feet feel sore because they have to stand for hours and walk there to greet guests wearing high heels.

“Zoya, how about we go on honeymoon?” ask William.

“Isn't it too slow to do that, Mas?” reply Zoya while laughing. “We should have done it at the beginning of our marriage, not now.”

“There's no harm if we go on a honeymoon now, Zoya. After all, at the beginning of our marriage I was still paralyzed. So, it must be impossible if we go on a honeymoon with my condition like that,” said William.

“Do you have your dream honeymoon spot?” William asked back.

“Hm ... A moment, I'll think about it.” Zoya rubs her chin. “Actually from the beginning I want to go to Santorini, Mas,”, said Zoya.

“Ya already, tomorrow we will go there,” William said with a big smile. 

“I've never been on a plane before, Mas,” Zoya said.

“Do not worry. There I will protect you,” William replied with a crisp laugh.

A week passed. Now Zoya and William are on their way to Greece. Having to travel through the air, Zoya closed her eyes with a tense face, especially when she looked at the window and found herself on the clouds.

“Do not be afraid, Zoya. There I am here,” William said, trying to calm Zoya down. “You just sleep. Later when I get there I will wake you up,”.

Zoya nodded her head, trying to close her eyes. And sure enough, apparently sleeping can make the fear he feels slowly disappear.

Arriving at the inn, Zoya is amazed by the view of the ocean that stretches before her. The inn which is dominated by white also adds to the beauty of the place. Zoya and William decide to take a nap while waiting for the sunset.

As the sun sets, Zoya and William have a romantic dinner. In front of the inn room Zoya and William have laid out candles and rose petals surrounding the place. William had indeed asked the innkeeper to prepare for it all.

“Do you like our dinner, Zoya?” ask William.

Zoya nodded quickly. The smile never disappeared from his lips. Zoya had never imagined before that she would experience this, having a romantic dinner with a view of the vast blue sea before her.

“I really like it, Mas, thank you,” Zoya said.

After dinner, William invites Zoya to dance. The two lovebirds moved their bodies in rhythm with soft music that flowed. Zoya puts her hand around William's neck while William pulls Zoya's waist closer to him.

The two danced while looking at each other until Zoya unknowingly clasped her feet and kissed William on the cheek. Getting a kiss on her cheek, William considers it a green light for her.

William pulled the nape of Zoya then kissed the girl's lips very gently. Zoya replies to William's kiss until William unknowingly lifts his body and brings Zoya into the inn.

Inside the inn, William lays Zoya on the bed while making Zoya's lips. They continued to kiss until they unknowingly had their clothes removed one by one.

That night, with a witness of the sun's light drowning in the contest, Zoya surrenders her whole self to the man she loves. No one ever thought Santorini would be the happiest place for Zoya and William. After almost a year of waiting, they finally did the first night.
