The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 80'S

Hearing Zoya's words, William flinched, as if reality had hit him hard in the face. It made William realize that what he and Renata were doing was a big mistake. William should not get carried away, forgetting the status of his marriage to Zoya. William can't imagine if Zoya knows what she's doing with Renata. Their relationship could end because of William's fault.

When he realizes the serious consequences he can have for his stupid actions, William feels a little afraid, if what he thinks becomes reality. William does not want to lose Zoya, William can see very clearly that Zoya has become one of the most important parts of his life. William cannot imagine his life without Zoya by his side. William has decided that William will keep his meeting with Renata secret from Zoya. That way their relationship will be fine.

"Yes, you are my most understanding wife. You are the greatest gift of my life. If it wasn't for you, I might still be the man in the wheelchair right now. Thank you for being so patient with me." William soon embraces Zoya's body which he misses so much lately, William also wants to make sure that Zoya will still always be by his side.

“You are also the most beautiful gift of my life. Mas, can you loosen your arms a little, because you make me feel suffocated?" Zoya certainly feels happy when in William's arms, it's just that William hugs him too tightly that makes Zoya difficult to breathe.

William who realized it was too much, immediately relaxed his embrace on Zoya's body. "I'm sorry. I miss you so much, so I didn't realize my embrace hurt you. We better get some rest now, 'cause I'm so slow and want to sleep hugging you tonight."

William takes Zoya to his room. Zoya helps William prepare warm water for William to take a bath. Zoya also prepares a nightgown for William.

Zoya and William return to enjoy their dreams in each other's arms. Forget all the trouble that has ever happened between the two of them. Building a more beautiful day in the future. They think they will always be happy. Without them realizing that there is no eternal happiness in this world.

Tonight is peaceful, but peace does not reach Renata's heart. Renata really felt uneasy at the thought of William at this moment. Renata felt William was so far away from her. Willi's attitude toward him has not changed. But somehow, Renata felt his position in William's heart was not as strong as it used to be. Renata also thinks about how William spends every night with Zoya.

Did they also kiss like Renata and William did? Was William happy with Zoya? Will William spend his hot night with Zoya tonight? What would Renata do if all this happened? All these thoughts make Renata very depressed, somehow Renata who used to not love William as sincerely, now actually feels very jealous of Zoya..

Feeling very agitated, Renata decides to contact William. That way, Renata can make sure William doesn't do anything strange with Zoya. So that Renata could feel relieved and all her worries just disappeared. Renata immediately picks up her phone and searches for William's contact. Without a second thought, Renata immediately contacted William, hoping to hear William's voice tonight.

Meanwhile, at William's current home, Zoya and William embrace each other and fall into a deep sleep. It's just that William's cell phone rang Zoya out of her deep sleep. Zoya moves very carefully, so that William does not wake up from his sleep. Zoya immediately sees who called Willi in the middle of the night but unfortunately there is no name on the number. However, Zoya still chooses to pick up the phone. Because Zoya is worried it's an important call for William.

"Hello" Zoya said as she picked up the phone.

Renata was initially very happy when she saw William pick up the phone, but the happiness soon faded when she heard the voice of the woman on the other end of the phone. Renata can't even say anything when she hears Zoya's voice.

Zoya, puzzled that her call has not been answered, asks the person who contacted William tonight. "Hello, who are you? Is there anything important you want to say?" Zoya asked the person on the other end of the phone once more. When Zoya tries to ask for the caller's identity, the call is over. Zoya doesn't want to think too long, so she assumes it's a wrong number. After that, Zoya went back to sleep.

Renata intends to question William about all this tomorrow. Because Renata doesn't accept Willi paying more attention to other women. William had to do all that to her. Thinking of all this, Renata could not even close her eyes, as the more she thought about it, her heart grew even more sick.

William and Zoya's relationship is now well established again, because it has resolved the misunderstanding between the two. Zoya accompanies William as usual, after seeing William leave, then Zoya closes the door of the house. Unbeknownst to Zoya, her activities have been known to someone from afar. That person immediately clenched his hands as an impingement of resentment appeared in his heart.

William had just arrived at his company, when William was just sitting in his chair, suddenly the door of his room opened like this, as William turned to look at who the person who had entered his room was, William looked at Renata before him with an annoyed face. It makes William confused because he understands what is really going on.

"What's wrong? Why do you look upset this morning? What's bothering you? You also look a bit pale, are you sick now?" ask William who directly approached Renata because he was worried about her.

“Yes, I feel hurt because of you, William. You're the one who made me suffer like this. So why are you pretending to ask me how I am doing now? Do you really care about me, William?" Renata replied that he could not hide his anger.

"Whatchu mean? What have I done that you are so angry with me? While I don't feel like I've done anything wrong to you."

“Why did you let that woman touch your phone? Did you know that I called you last night and the person who answered my phone was that woman? Are you deliberately trying to make me suffer from jealousy, William? I never thought you could do this to me so badly. Now you've changed, William. You hurt me with that attitude of yours,” cried Renata in front of William.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you called me. I feel so tired after work last night. So I don't know if you'll call me. Zoya and I are used to being open to each other, so there's no prohibition on us using other people's phones. I also never forbade her to look at my phone, so Zoya immediately grabbed my phone, for fear of disturbing my sleep. Again I'm sorry." William tries to explain the situation to Renata, that Zoya is innocent in this.

“So you and your wife are used to doing all this? Do you really want me to die of a broken heart, William? How can you do all this to me? Why are you acting like this? I didn't nail him with you giving him the position I should have? Now you want to pay attention to it too?" asked Renata who did not accept William's attitude that had changed greatly.

“Renata, Zoya, and I are married. Zoya is by my side when you are not by my side, Zoya is a good woman, I will never hurt her feelings, Renata. After all, at that moment I was placed on two very difficult choices. Until I finally chose Zoya as my partner. If I knew where you were all this time, there's no way I'd have married anyone else, Renata. I really didn't mean to hurt you or give others the position that should be yours. But I can't change what's going on either. Please understand my position." William knows that these words will hurt Renata, but William cannot hurt Zoya, as Zoya is a very good girl and she makes a great contribution to him.

"You're outrageous, William. I hate you." Renata immediately dumped William because he could not bear to hear William's defense of Zoya.

"Renata, listen to my explanation!" call William.

William tried to teach Renata back then, but his assistant stopped William immediately, as he had to attend an important meeting this morning. Like it not like, in the end William can only resign Renata. It may be difficult for William to explain everything, but Willi will stop at nothing to win back Renata's trust. That's what's on his mind.
