The Promise You Make

"Take me home to the apartment. I also have to take my car there" Adisti said as he was with Roni and Leo on his way home.

It's still noon, still enough time to go to the boutique looking over his work there. Until finally Leo said something that made Adisti quite surprised.

"There's something I want to tell you, too."

"What's that?"

"Regarding your best friend, you must be careful with him, it turns out that all this time he was also involved in your husband's affair."

"Friend? Wh who? Arsylla's? I don't think that's possible" said Adisti, who doesn't believe. It feels very unlikely because all this time he and his best friend were very close even already like brothers.

"That's your stupidity, it's easy to trust others. He obviously betrayed you. It was he who introduced your husband to that woman."

"Are you not wrong? I just don't know who that woman is, it seems impossible because everyone Arsylla knows I know."

"The woman is from Arsylla's hometown, of course you don't know her. He's a distant cousin who just came to town to look for a job."

Adisti nodded, he did not know the Arsylla family in the village. He used to come back home to his best friend on vacation, but Arsylla never introduced him to his brother. They prefer to spend time in the fields and gardens.

"If indeed he is a distant cousin who came to the city, it means that Arsylla has no intention to interfere with their affair. Why do you think Arsylla betrayed me?"

"It's hard to talk to someone who's been blindfolded" Leo grumbled as Adisti was stubborn. "Arsylla wanted to introduce your husband to her cousin because she was jealous of you all along. You can get everything, while he has nothing. He wants you to feel what he's been feeling all along. Maybe for you he's a good man, but actually he holds a deep grudge against you. It's up to you not to believe me, I just say what I know and you judge the truth yourself."

Adisti clenched his palms together, not expecting if the person he had thought of as a brother turned out to be a traitor as well. Arsylla knew how much she loved Bryan. Maybe that was also the reason Arsylla so that Adisti felt bad, but his best friend was wrong. Brian is indeed the man he loves, but that does not mean that the woman will feel devastated if the husband leaves her.

It is precisely those traitors who will be destroyed after this. Not only know who he really is, fortunately, Adisti has covered a lot about his identity to Arsylla and Bryan. Even though they are the people closest to him, but that does not mean you have to know everything. Maybe this is also the reason why his parents had warned him to hide his identity.

"Regarding all the possessions Bryan had, have you taken care of them?" asked Adisti who had changed her expression flatly.

"Everything is in the process, it is not easy to change it in just an instant," Leo said as it is.

"As for Bryan's parents, do they also know of his son's serial marriage?" adisti asked hesitantly, from yesterday he was curious about this, but there was no time to talk.

"Well! Did ya? When's show?" adisty asked with a cynical smile and was surprised because he did not know anything.

Her relationship with her mother-in-law was quite good. Maybe it's better because he always gave her money. He wanted to know what if he did not send money from now on at all. Whether they are good or not.

"It's two more days, at your in-laws' house. Didn't you get the invitation? Though you are his favorite daughter-in-law," said Leo who was intentional.

Adisti flicked his lips at the ridicule from Leo. However, he doesn't really care. The woman will plan something that they did not expect, wanting to know how later when she came to the event. Adisti also wanted to give a gift for his honey that he never knew about. Surely by the time the day came, Bryan's belongings were already his, the man had nothing left.

"I love this job. Take it easy, everything will be in order before the time comes" Leo said excitedly. That guy really likes a challenge.

Adisti smiled, now just contact his papa friend who is also the boss of Bryan and Arsylla. Regarding his best friend, he will take care of it later after the business with the husband is finished. To her husband alone the woman was hearty, what about Arsylla who was just a friend even took advantage of the situation. Everyone should know who Adisti really is, not the woman who can be used at will.

The car driven by Roni stops at Adisti's apartment. The woman immediately went down, before she told Leo if there was any news about the husband and the people around her, the man should contact her immediately. Leo also agreed, even though he is good at technology, but that does not mean he can know everything about them. However, because you do not want to disappoint Adisti better just nod.

Just as Adisti entered the room, the phone in his bag rang. The name of the father-in-law that was none other than Susi contacted him. He also raised one corner of his lips, it could be ascertained if the in-law contacted him because he needed money. It's always like that.

At first it was pleasantries to ask the situation and also the situation of Brian, but Adisti knew for sure if very in-laws had met Brian every day. After that, Lusi asked for money by welding and selling sadness. I don't know what he's been saying is true or not, about the state of their economy. However, at a time like this the woman was sure if all this time she was only used. Though Bryan had also worked, but the in-laws still asked him, very shameless.

Adisty took a deep breath, trying to be casual. "Hello, assalamualaikum, Ma."

"Waalaikumsalam, darling. Where are you?" ask the father-in-law across the phone.

"On the road, Ma. Ino again wants to see a client," Adisti replied lying. He also could not possibly tell his current existence to the in-laws.

"You how are you? Healthy, right? Bryan said yesterday you were from abroad?"

"Yes, Ma, I just arrived yesterday. Sorry, I didn't bring any souvenirs because the show was so crowded."

"Mama did not ask for anything, the important thing is that you go home safely Mama is very happy."

Adisti rolled his eyes lazily, feeling fed up with what the in-laws were saying. Had it really been a word that came out sincerely from within Mama Lusi's heart, she would have been delighted. Her in-laws used to say that and Adisti was so happy to feel loved. Now that everything was revealed, he only knew what his purpose was to say such a thing.
