The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 81'S

Renata, who had arrived outside William's room, looked back, hoping that William would catch up with him and stop him. Unfortunately, what Renata expected, Renata could not get. Because William was not after him at all. This fact certainly made Renata feel even more sad. Because William just ignored it, but William knows that Renata is currently sad for William's actions.

Now Renata realizes that William has changed too much. William was no longer like the man Renata knew. Because William used to always prioritize Renata above everything else. But now William just ignore it, but William already knows that Renata is sad at this time. Renata could only cry along the way, when she realized that things would not be the same anymore.

Renata returns to the Pendi family home with tears still dripping, Renata's appearance certainly attracts everyone's attention. Even Dilla was surprised to see her daughter return with tears in her eyes. Although when he first met William yesterday looked very happy because William received it very well. Of course, Renata's condition like this raises a big question in Dila's mind. Dila finally decided to ask Renata directly about what happened.

“Honey, why are you crying like that again? What the hell is going on? William hurt you? You can tell everything to mom." Dila invited Renata to sit on one of the sofas in the living room. Dila also tried to calm Renata who now looks very sad.

“Bu, I just had a fight with Liam. I didn't expect William to care so much about that woman. I watched with my own eyes how gently William treated the woman. William even let the woman touch his phone. Even though I wanted to spend some time chatting with William last night, who would have thought that woman was the one who answered my phone. Now I feel very hurt, mother," Renata complained to Dila. Because Diana did not know who to share her grief with other than her mother.

“So what made you quarrel with Liam? Liam treated you well yesterday, so why are you so sad now? I still don't understand what's going on. Can you tell me what happened from the beginning, so I can understand all your stories?" Dila always plays a good role.

“Last night I couldn't sleep, so I decided to spend time chatting with Liam all night, in order to feel much calmer. But who would have thought, if it turns out that the one who answered my phone was that woman. This morning I was going to ask William everything to the house that was supposed to be mine, but what I saw really hurt my feelings. Because I saw William kiss the woman's forehead so fondly. So I decided to ask William when he got to the office. I deliberately went into his room to ask all this, but William defended the woman. I didn't expect William to change so drastically like this." Renata recounts the incident from beginning to end to her stepmother.

“Darling, why do you have to fight? You should have been more patient with William. If you behave like that, doesn't that mean you're giving the woman a chance to have a closer relationship with William? Though you know that William likes a woman who is submissive and gentle. Don't ruin your relationship with William out of jealousy, Renata. Or you'll lose William forever." Dila never expected her daughter to act rashly like this.

Renata starts to slowly digest what her mother says, as Renata has to think about all those problems with a cold head. Otherwise, Renata would not have been able to solve the problem between him and William. Renata certainly does not want their relationship to end badly. Because Renata wants William back to meet his needs to spoil him like he used to. Renata must have a thorough preparation and plan.

After Renata was able to understand all of her stepmother's words, Renata realized that what she was doing today was a very reckless act. Renata deliberately makes a distance between himself and William. That's tantamount to giving Zoya a chance to get William. If Zoya manages to win William's heart completely, doesn't that mean Renata will really live a life of deprivation?

“Mother is right, why didn't I think about this from the beginning? I also made a big gap for myself and William as well. All of that can be used by the woman to get William. Mom, what should I do now? I made William angry with me. I don't want to lose William, ma'am,” Renata said in a trembling voice, as a sign that Renata was afraid of losing William.

"Calm down, baby. You can't panic like that. You should always think with a cool head. Or you'll make the same mistake one day. So, try to regulate your breathing and calm your mind. After that, we'll think of the best solution." to his problem and also to William."

“There's nothing you can do now but be quiet. Don't call William for the last few days. You should be able to hold back your feelings towards Willia. That way, William can appreciate your feelings more.” Dila directly provides the best solution for Renata. Dila could not allow Renata to act as she pleased. Because it could destroy the grand plan they had made.

“What do you mean, mother? How could I do all that? Mother also knew that I was very afraid of William. If I follow Mom's advice, doesn't that mean I'll let her get closer to William? I don't want to lose William a second time, Mom. Can you find a better solution for me now?" asked Renata who disagreed with Dila's suggestion. For Renata, staying away from William means giving Zoya more opportunities to be with William.

“That's not what Mom meant. If you keep your distance and don't contact him for a few days, it will make William think of you. That way, William won't have time to think of any other woman besides you. No, you can show William your great feelings, because William will not be able to appreciate your feelings, if William knows that you love him very much. So wait a few days, believe me, William will definitely try to find and persuade him." Dila began to explain her plan to Renata.

"So you're saying I should have a tug-of-war relationship with William? To make William feel guilty about me and keep thinking about me?" asked Renata who was trying to find answers to her mother's words.

“Yes, you are indeed my smartest daughter. Don't you know how much William loves you? There is no way love will be lost just because of the presence of a new woman in your life. So, you should be able to utilize all of this very well. Do you understand what mom meant, Renata? Dila had to convince himself that Renata had understood his plan correctly.

"Yes, I understand what mom meant. I'll do what Mom says. I'm not gonna let another woman take William. Thank you for the advice you gave me, Mom. I know mom is the best mom." Renata immediately hugged Dila because she was very happy because her stepmother could think of a solution that was so smart for the problem she and William.

“Good if you understand your intentions well, now dry your tears and be prepared, William will definitely try his hardest to persuade you later. So now you don't have to be sad anymore. Because no one will be able to take William away from you, including a woman from the village chosen by her mother," Dila said trying to comfort Renata.

"Now I will prepare my appearance so that when William asks me to meet for a few more days, William cannot forget my beauty. I had to prepare myself well, before I finally forgave William. I'll prepare now. Again, thank you for helping me find the best solution, ma'am. I love you,” Renata said as she kissed Dila's cheeks, before Renata returned to her room with a smile on her face.

Dila was very relieved because Renata was finally able to cooperate well with him. However, Renata was just a stupid cunning woman. Renata has always been positive about Dila and her family. Renata is not even aware of the devious plan her family prepared for William's family. It was a very tragic fate, because Renata had to grow up in the neighborhood of cunning people like the Pendi family, making Renata inherit it all.

Renata is an arrow shot by the Pendi family to get what they want from the William family. Of course, Dila was in charge of controlling the direction of the arrow, so as not to miss its main purpose.
