The Promise You Make
1. The delayed surprise

A woman so beautiful and graceful looked out from the airport with a smile on her lips. She could not wait to surprise her husband, who was actually one week away from home, but to surprise her husband on their wedding anniversary, he left his job and went home first. Let his assistant take care of everything that is not finished.

She was named Adisti Dewi Hartono, daughter of Bambang Hartono and Marini Adinata. Her name is Bryan Malik Pramana. The woman works as a famous designer with a boutique that is so big in the big city where she lives. Two days away was her sixth wedding anniversary so Adisti decided to go home to surprise her husband and celebrate together.

She and her husband can be called a matching couple because they always appear romantic under any circumstances and anywhere. Adisti is so happy to have a husband like Bryan. Although until now both have not been blessed with a child. However, it does not dampen the affection between the two. Both families also do not dispute this, for them as long as happy children do not matter.

“Pak, to the apartment on Jalan Melati,” Adisti said to a taxi driver who was stopping in front of the airport.

“Good, Miss,” replied the taxi driver and immediately forwarded his car.

Adisti just smiled at the greeting of the driver. Though his age is also quite mature, but somehow people always call him miss instead of mistress. It didn't matter to him, instead he was happy, meaning he still looked younger. Many people praised him directly as well.

As soon as he arrived at the apartment, Adisti immediately entered. This is his secret apartment that is unknown to anyone, including by his husband and his best friend Arsylla—.he deliberately came here to rest for a while, plan everything for a surprise event. The woman had also rented a famous restaurant, which they usually used to celebrate birthdays.

“Why am I now suddenly missing my husband? Bryan must be busy at the office right now, do I have to just come there, huh? I couldn't bear to meet him. No, I'm afraid that my plan will fail again, I better be patient waiting for tomorrow,” Adisti muttered with a smile, impatiently waiting for tomorrow to arrive.

Suddenly there was a message coming in from Vira, he was the son of Edwin Hartono—adik papa Adisti. A message contained a photo of Bryan with a woman who did not clear her face because it was facing behind. This certainly made Adisti surprised. During this time the husband was known to be cold and reluctant to get close to a woman, suddenly walking hand in hand. Especially in a shopping place that looks so crowded.

Suddenly bad thoughts entered his head, it was impossible if the husband could cheat on him. All this time they looked so happy without any problems. With trembling hands Adisti also sent a message to Vira asking the truth of the photo. In his heart he believed that if what he saw was not the husband, it just happened to be a similar person.

“Halo, assalamualaikum,” said the woman across the phone who is none other than Vira.

“Waalaikumsalam, you mean send the photo what, Vir?” ask Adisti without making small talk.

He is not a man who likes to talk too much. The woman will talk directly to the core of the problem if there is something urgent like this now. Vira is also very understanding because they used to be very close.

“I also do not know, you are there,” Adisti replied by squeezing his clothes.

He himself was confused as to what to answer to his cousin. The clothes that the man in the photo wore were indeed the same as that of her husband, but didn't many have such shirts? Are there people who look alike and have the same clothes? Thinking about it further gave Adisti a headache.

“You yourself are now where?”

“I am abroad, there is a fashion show here,” Adisti replied lying.

He didn't want to tell anyone the truth. Right now there was nothing that the woman could believe. It could be that Vira deliberately edited the photo or more painful the image is real. Adisti also needs to find out the truth about the photo of the shipment from Vira.

Fortunately, he went to the apartment, not to go home. If not, he is confused what to plan. Now that in the next week it looks like the woman is going to pretend that she is still abroad, Adisti will find out for herself the truth about her husband. Regarding the surprise plan of the birthday let it be missed, he also wanted to know whether the husband still remembered his wedding anniversary or not.

“Ya already, Vir. Regarding this matter, please don't tell anyone, yes! I also need to find out the truth. Thank you for giving me info about my husband.”

“You rest easy, I won't tell anyone and another one, if you need help please contact me immediately. After all we brothers should share in each other in any case.”

“Thank you.” Adisty immediately ended the call.

She is grateful to have a cousin like Vira. They used to be very close, they were always together everywhere, even the family always called them twin brothers because they always have the goods there. The older the cousin is like he's avoiding her. It's been since Vira argued with her about Arsylla.

According to Vira, Arsylla is not a good person who just wants to take advantage of her kindness. But he doesn't feel like it. During the time Arsylla's friends also never asked for anything or deliberately took advantage of it. It was precisely he who deliberately wanted to help his friend because of pity to see Arsylla who was in trouble.

Often his friend refused because he felt bad for him. However, because he forced his friend finally accepted. Adisty is also very close to the Arsylla family and considers them like a family of their own. It is not uncommon to give them gifts.
