The Pledge of the Ingkar
IYI 95'S

The meeting between Zoya and Renata brings nothing but a showdown between the two of them. Renata and Zoya don't want to give up on keeping William. But, compared to Renata, Zoya can still think rationally. If William does not want her, Zoya will give up on her and William's relationship. Zoya is just waiting for William's decision at this time. William could not have continued to live with his feelings shared between the two of them.

Although William says that William only wants to be with Zoya, but Zoya is not stupid, Zoya knows enough how William looks at Renata. William clearly still loves the woman in his past. But Zoya can also feel the love Willi gives her. So that makes Zoya want to be greedy and have William for herself. Zoya is William's legal wife. Unfortunately, feelings cannot be lied to. Still stuck with the love between the two of them, Zoya will never be able to survive with a relationship like this. Zoya will just try to be patient in a moment. Until the time came, William made a choice between the two of them.

Currently, Zoya is just waiting for Williaam's return, after sending Renata out of the apartment, when they have finished talking about something they need to discuss together. Even though what happened was actually a quarrel among women. However, Zoya can get a lot of information from Renata's words.

“At last you've come home, are there so many jobs in your office, until you come home so late like this?” zoya asks after seeing William's return. Zoya soon approaches William to retrieve the briefcase that William was carrying

“I spent some time chatting together with my assistant. That's why I forgot the time. Why are you waiting for me until midnight like this? Don't you also need time to rest?” replied Willi who was currently looking at Zoya with a questioning look.

“I can't sleep, therefore I'm waiting for you. You must be very tired now, after you come home, now I can feel more relieved. Do you want me to prepare bath water for you, William?” zoya responded to Willi's question. There are too many things that Zoya is thinking about right now, so Zoya cannot close her eyes. This is what makes Zoya so disliked about matters of the heart. Everything is so torturous.

“No need, I know I'm tired all day. So let me prepare my own bath water. You rest. I don't want you to get sick just because you're too tired. Isn't there still a lot of things we have to do together as a couple? I want you to be able to enjoy everything with a healthy body.” Willi is no longer a disabled man who must be helped to prepare his own needs.

“Alright, I'll try to read the book. So that I can get sleepy quickly. I will also soon prepare sleeping clothes for you.” Zoya no longer insists on serving William. After all William was able to do all his own activities.

William did not say anything, but William immediately went into the bathroom because he wanted to refresh his body that already felt very tired. Moreover, the burden of the mind that some days is borne by him, makes William feel that he became five years older than his current age. William felt helpless, with every problem that came in his life.

“Is there anything that is bothering you at the moment? Or do you really want to tell me something? Until now you still haven't slept either. You know, I'm pretty worried about you right now.”

“Actually no one is bothering me at the moment. I don't have any problems either. Regarding something I want to talk to you about, I also have no complaints for me to convey to you. I just can't sleep. Don't think too much. Because everything you think of it doesn't necessarily happen to me.” Zoya did feel if nothing was interfering with her thoughts at this moment. Maybe because Zoya's mood is not good. That's why Zoya hasn't been sleepy.

“If there is nothing you want to tell me, I will not force you to say what you are thinking right now. I just don't have the heart if you haven't rested after midnight shows like this. Zoya's. How was your meeting with Renata? What are you guys talking about?” ask William who finally chose to ask something that disturbed his mind since earlier.

“We are of course talking about feelings. You know that women are very sensitive beings and always rely on the heart, so we choose to talk about our true heart. I learned a lot from his life story. Unfortunately, even though I feel sorry for him. But I couldn't possibly give Renata what she wanted from me. Sometimes it sucks a little. Because I can't be a whole good person.” Zoya is convinced that William must understand what Renata is asking of her. Zoya doesn't have to explain anymore.

“Something that's already mine, you shouldn't give to anyone else. I know you're a wise woman, Ivy. I will not doubt your decision on this matter. Nor will I influence you to give up or do something you don't want. I will support you fully,” William said, who can clearly understand what Renata asked Zoya. If William was in Zoya's position, William would certainly not grant Renata's request

“Yes, something that is already mine, certainly I cannot give to others. But I also don't know if something is really just mine or owned by someone else. Because of every decision, it remains with the person concerned. I will not be angry about the final decision to be made, because life is a choice. I can clearly understand how much fun freedom is. Therefore, I also will not forbid others to show his freedom.”

Zoya immediately put down the book in her hand, and went inside the blanket, and prepared to go to sleep. Zoya did not want to think of anything incriminating her. Because all this was enough to drain his patience. Zoya will let everything happen like running water. Choosing to be quiet at a time like this is a very wise choice. Zota had already chosen to shut up and pay attention to everything that was happening.

William also says nothing, and chooses to sleep with Zoya. Although the atmosphere between the two of them felt very awkward, but William tried to accept everything that happened. Because William also knew, all of this happened because of himself. We cannot blame others for every problem they have. Perhaps William should allow his body to relax for a moment, before returning to fight with every problem present in his life.
