The Promise You Make
19. Bryan knew the truth

"No, that's impossible! I can't be fired from the company. All this time I've been devoted to the company. Not infrequently also I always won a lot of tenders there. How could I possibly be fired like this?" bryan squealed involuntarily to the surprise of the guests and whispered to each other.

Mama Lusi who was beside her was also surprised. The woman approached her son and took the paper in Bryan's hand. He read carefully, to glare his eyes, Mama Lusi did not believe what he saw. During this time the woman always glorified her son with many achievements that have been obtained. How could I get all this.

"There must be a misunderstanding, Bryan. You have to go to the company immediately and ask about this," said Mama Lusi who felt something was wrong.

"But I think it's useless, ma'am, because in the letter also listed what violations have been committed by Mr. Bryan. The company also will not fire people carelessly" said someone who delivered the letter.

Bryan clenched his hands, the company couldn't possibly know of this if no one had reported it. He's sure it's Adisti. The man knew that his wife was capable of everything, including destroying his hard-won career. Bryan looked at Adisti with a sharp look.

However, the woman was not at all afraid of her husband. He felt happy because he finally knew how much power he was able to make a Bryan who had been famous for being arrogant, could be destroyed just like that. The husband also needs to know how much power the woman who had been humbled.

"Why are you doing this to me? I'm still your husband, you should have supported my career, not ruined it like this!" furious Bryan, he wanted to slap his wife, but realized that in this house there are still many people.

"You want to know why? I've said before, that I will not forgive a betrayal and you break it. Now you should realize, all this time you can get to this point it's because of who, if not for me. You are too bragging yourself," Adisti sneered with a trivial look at her best friend.

"I got this job because I did it myself! I started everything from zero."

Adisti laughed out loud, realizing the stupidity of her husband all this time. "You think you can get a job easily? Can you just go up the department? Even employees who have been decades are not necessarily in your position. You should have thought of that."

Bryan was silent, it was true what his wife said. Even some of his coworkers often say if he can very easily rise to office, even though the results of his work are the same as others, but the boss seems to just see it. All this time he always denied what his friends said, but now hearing what Adisti said, Bryan came to mind. Is it possible that the wife is involved in all this, but from where the woman knows the people in the company.

Adisti who knew the confusion of the husband said, "You wonder why I could easily put you in the company? You can also move up the post so easily? It was because the owner of the company, who was none other than Mr. Gunawan was a friend of the late papa and he considered me like his daughter. That's why when I asked him to give you a job at his company, he immediately agreed to it, but because of your stupidity that has made mistakes so easily I will make you go back to where you were. You remember very well 'what was your job before you married me?"

Brian was frozen, he did not expect if what he had obtained all this time was help from Adisti. During this time the man always boasted what he got to everyone, also underestimated the work of others because his position was much higher. It turns out that Bryan was wrong because all he got was a gift from his wife. He has nothing to be proud of.

"Why have you been quiet all this time, not saying anything to me?" bryan asked in a weak voice.

"Because as a wife, I just want to keep my husband's self-esteem. I don't want my husband to feel inferior in front of me and in front of others. As much as possible he should look strong and stand on his own feet. I just wanted to keep your pride, but I realized what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have put too much value on you, to make you forget the land or maybe it was from the beginning you're an ungrateful person. I've been with you since you were nobody, but when you were on top you chose another woman to be next to you."

"I did it because I also needed a child. I can't live alone forever."

"Your thoughts are too petty, we never even checked ourselves out, don't know who exactly is in trouble."

"Of course you are. I've been proven to have a child."

Sahna who heard also went up black, she did not accept what Adisti said. "What did you say! Of course this is Mas Bryan's son, I'm just in touch with him.

"But I'm not sure. Before marriage you can relate to the husband of someone, it does not rule out the possibility that you also do that with another man, but it is not my business. Whatever you want to do. My business here is done, I have to go. Thank you even though my presence was not welcomed, I'm sorry. Assalamualaikum." Adisty also left here along with his assistant and employees.

Along the way home, Adisti did not speak a single word at all. She still held back the anger of her husband. Fortunately, at home the in-laws could control themselves well, so they did not let out their tears and now only anger in the chest. It turns out that the husband is so much in love with his affair, that he has done everything so far.

In the midst of the chaos he had in mind, the phone inside the bag rang. Gunawan's name is listed there, immediately Adisti raised it.

"Assalamualaikum, good afternoon, Om. How's things going?" greet Adisti first.

"Waalaikumsalam, well, Om hope also you are good because there is something Om wants to tell you," said Gunawan from behind the phone.

"What's up, Om? Is there anything important? This is about the company, it turns out that Arsylla has been embezzling some funds from the company. Although the number is not much, but because too often he does it, until the number is not small. What do you think Om should do?"

"I believe Om can handle everything well."

"Om deliberately asked you, fearing you would not believe what Om said."

"Even though he didn't make a mistake, I still want Om to fire him so, no matter it's true or not I just want him out of there."

"Well do it as you please. It turns out that you can be cruel too" said Gunawan as well as praise him.

"It's nothing compared to what they've done to me. I just want to repay him. Thank you, Om for helping me."

Adisti felt moved, in the midst of people who did not know thank him, there were actually some people who cared so much about him. In this day and age it is difficult to find him and he is grateful to be surrounded by people like that. Regarding the husband he wants to immediately escape from the bond that will further make him slump. The woman wants to be free and wants to live a quiet life in the next life.

I don't know if Adisti will open his heart to another man or not, but for now he still hasn't thought about it. He still wants to live alone who enjoys a time of solitude with people who are always around him. The woman knew that one day everyone would have to leave in their lives and their children. Adisti must also be ready if that day should come.

"Where are we going, Mom?" tanya Nadia broke Adisti's daydream.

Not expecting if the car he was riding arrived at his residence. Although it took three hours to finally get home.

"Contact a locksmith to replace all the house keys right now. Do not forget to also install CCTV cameras to know every movement around the house."
