The Promise You Make
18. Adisti's Arrival

Two days have passed, today the seven-monthly event Bryan's wife will be held at the man's parents' house. Everything was arranged by Mama Lusi. Everyone was amazed at the grandeur of this event. Though this is just a Thanksgiving event that should be more solemn to pray for the mother and her future baby, but this looks like a party.

There are some people who like it, but there are also those who sneer because they should not do an event like this for thanksgiving. However, the neighbors also could not interfere too much in their affairs. Sahna was so happy to see the event made by her in-laws because it was exactly what she had wanted all along.

All guests are enjoying the event. Until suddenly the atmosphere was silent because the arrival of a woman followed by her assistant and also one of her employees, making everyone who was there speechless. Who else if not Adisti. He accidentally came along with Nadia and Reno, one of his employees at the boutique, who worked as a freight forwarder.

The whole family was no less surprised, especially Bryan himself. They did not expect that the woman would come at an event like this. No one had told me at all before. There might have been someone who had deliberately told the woman secretly.

"Sa–sayang, are you here? When did you arrive? What are you doing here?" bryan asked nervously.

"Sure dong, Bang. Isn't this the event for your wife's pregnancy, why can't I come? I also want to congratulate your second wife as well as I also give gifts," Adisti replied casually, not forgetting also a smile adorning her face.

"Ka—kamu already ...."

Brian could not continue his words. Everything choked in his throat, he was completely afraid of what his wife was going to do. The man knew Adisti very well, it was precisely the state of the woman who was calm like this made him very afraid. Better his wife get angry at him or hit him, not even him like this.

"What's up, Bang? Why not continue speaking? I deliberately came all the way here to be present at this event, you know! Oh yeah, I forgot to give you a gift. It's a gift for you, Bang."

Adisti took a map from her bag and handed it to her husband. The man accepted with trembling hands. Not seeing the contents alone had made the man anxious, afraid that what was on his mind really happened. As soon as the envelope opened, he took the file inside.

It turned out that it was indeed a letter from the religious court for the divorce hearing next week. Hurry up, when's his wife gonna take care of all this? It is fitting that the attitude of Adisti lately is very strange, surely the woman has known from yesterday and deliberately waited for today.

"Darling, you must be kidding me, right? You can't possibly claim my divorce like this" Bryan said with an indescribable feeling.

"Am I kidding, Bang? I'm not kidding at all. What I'm doing right now is right, just like you did when you betrayed our marriage. You're not kidding about your marriage either, are you? Moreover, there are already children among you, what an amazing game."

"Adisti, why say that? Mama knows that you love your child so, there is no way you are suing Bryan for divorce," said Mama Lusi who had just quietly listened. Neighbors had also started whispering to each other, talking about their families which turned out to be nothing like they thought.

"Why is it impossible? I do love your son, but my love is not blind. I didn't like polygamy in the first place and it will always be like that. I've told your son that once he betrays our marriage, then at that very moment my love will be buried deeply. I'll also take what should be mine and one more, I've packed up your things at home, Bang. I've also sent her here, it's outside as well as your wife's belongings in the house in the complex area. I'm good, right? It's been helping you clean up your stuff."

Sahna who was behind Bryan was surprised to hear what Adisti said. The house was hers, the husband gifted her because she was pregnant, how could it now be taken for granted. Mama Lusi was no less surprised. He did know about the house and did not expect that Adisti would find out.

"Have you forgotten that you are only a serial wife and have no right to anything that belongs to my husband? Moreover, the house was purchased using my money, it was certain that it would be mine. I also went to the property agent and paid off the mortgage and took the certificate on my behalf so, you don't have to bother paying it off anymore."

"Where can it be like that, honey. The installment of the house is only a few months away, why did you take it" Bryan said in frustration.

"Why is that, Bang? You're still my husband's legal so, I'm entitled to your property, too. Don't forget that or do you want me to report this to the obligatory, regarding your affair and your marriage without my consent? Surely it would be very exciting if we play a little bit, how?"

The man's face paled, he did not expect that his wife would think in that direction. Bryan wanted to take what was Sahna's. After all, the woman had already given him a child.

"That's not what I mean, honey. If you want a home, you can buy it yourself. I've prepared the house for my future son."

"Bought itself? What good is it that I have a husband? I'd better be alone, right? Having a husband is also useless, it is usual to just take advantage of the circumstances and treasures I have."

Bryan clenched his hands, he was completely offended by Adisti's words, but could not do anything about it. If he is angry, it will definitely add new problems, it is better to shut up and give in.

"Well, I'll buy it for you, but later. Now give me back the certificate, pity Sahna wants to live where."

"That's none of my business. I just want to keep what should be mine. Didn't I say at the beginning of our marriage so, never play games with me or you will bear all the consequences. All right, like there's nothing I need to do anymore. I have to leave because my purpose here is just to deliver the letter and my goal is done."

Adisti will turn around and leave. Suddenly, someone came with an envelope. The corner of his lips lifted when he knew who was coming. Of course this was part of his plan and was deliberately brought in today.

"Sorry, is this Mr. Bryan's house?" ask the man who is possessed by everyone who is there.

"I'm Bryan, sir. What's up, huh?" bryan approached the man.

"I just wanted to deliver this letter to you. Yesterday I drove you to your house, but your wife said that you're not staying there anymore and gave me the address that's here."

Bryan stared at Adisti sharply, surely what the man meant was the wife, but it seemed that the woman was reluctant to interfere and pretended not to know. Is it possible that Adisti knew the contents of the envelope, the attitude of the wife is indeed unpredictable, it is frightening.
