The Promise You Make
2. Unsuspectedly

Adisti also tried to contact Arsylla, who knew his friend knew about the cheating husband, considering Arsylla and Bryan's relationship was also quite close. They also work at the same company. Without both knowing actually he is also one of the shareholders in the company. It was also due to the giving of both parents.

However, they do not know because it was the request of Adisti's parents that forbid his daughter to tell others. Until they leave, the secret is still closed. The company belonged to a businessman named Abraham, one of the friends of his father Adisti.

Until the third call, it was not raised at all. Maybe his friend is busy right now. When he had given up and wanted to put his phone on the table, it turned out that there was an incoming call from Arsylla. That certainly makes Adisti happy, they also rarely communicate lately.

“Halo, assalamualaikum how are you?”

“Alhamdulillah I am good. Bryan said you're still a week abroad, is that true? Tumben you feel at home!” ask Arsylla across the phone.

“Iya, this is the work I have accelerated so that I can go home soon.”

“Don't get too distracted by his work. Remember your body also needs rest.”

“Yes, you don't worry, thank you for worrying about me.”

“Pastile! Indeed who else cares for you if not me.” The two chuckle together.

Adisti tried to think, how to ask Arsylla without making him suspicious, but after thinking it turns out there are no words that fit. He also ventured to ask, regardless of what his friend would think later.

“Arsy, may I ask you something? I hope you answer it honestly.”

Hearing the question from Adisti made Arsylla speechless, it seemed like something was important. Maybe his friend already knew something. He began to be unsettled, afraid that it was true.

“You ask what, anyways? It seems very serious,” said Arsylla who tried to look ordinary. It's not time Adisti knew everything.

“Have you ever seen Bryan go along with a woman? Yes .... maybe just lunch or talk about something his coworker?” ask Adisty who is trying to control her emotions.

“Travel with a woman? A–what do you mean, Adis? I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Is your husband cheating behind your back?”

“No, I'm just asking. Why are you thinking that way?” What Adisti fears is right, it turns out that his best friend is very sensitive to what is in his head. He hit his own mouth, everyone would also definitely be suspicious towards there as he asked so.

“Yes, you end up asking like that, my mind goes everywhere. You as a wife must also believe your husband, do not doubt him. If you yourself are doubted by Bryan, are you not hurt? I didn't mean to defend Bryan, it's just that you two are both my best friends so, I don't defend any of you.”

“Why are you even apologizing to me? You should have apologized to Brian because he was the one you suspected.”

“Iya, later I will apologize to him,” said Adisti who did not want to argue with his friend. “How do you work? Is there a lot? Sorry I have interfered,” said Adisti who deliberately wanted to divert the conversation.

"Not really, this is some work, briefly also done. If you go home we will eat together, yes! We haven't been together for a long time, I miss you, you'll be in the news."

"Yes, you calm down. I'll go with what you want. A long time ago, I wanted to continue working. I need to finish it quickly so I can get home soon."

"Yes, be careful."

"You're careful too."

"Don't forget to tell me when you get home, assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Adisti rubbed his face slowly, it seemed like he had to go to the company, the woman would see what the husband was doing when he came home from work. Adisti was also curious to see firsthand the activities of the husband, hopefully his fear does not come true, it will be very terrible for him. The woman began to prepare to leave, she would go to the car rental place first.

Adisti must have a vehicle to be able to go wherever he wants. One week is enough to pay for a car rental. This is the first time for him to rent a car, but his car is also there, but because he does not want the husband to know better to find safe. Spending a little money was no problem for him.

Like his wish earlier, now the woman is in front of the company where the husband and his best friend work. It's office soon. He was still sitting in the car in the parking lot of the employees. The distance of two cars from his car was the husband's car, it made it easier for him to know Bryan when he left. Adisti deliberately parked there.

An hour after waiting, Bryan finally came out. Adisti can see the man walking followed by Arsylla behind him, the two seem to be talking. Although it did not look so intense because occasionally Bryan also talked with other friends. Adisti was still watching him, looking as though Arsylla blushed in embarrassment at what the man was saying, I don't know what it was.

Adisti is starting to get uncomfortable. In his heart he wondered if it might be his best friend who was in the photo, considering the woman in the photo was turning her back to the camera. Adisti tried hard to pull it off, he did not want to be bad at his best friend. It must be a coincidence that they came home together.

However, Bryan's treatment, which opened the door for Arsylla, made Adisti's gaze sharper. The thing that the man had been doing only for himself, was now being done to others. Unknowingly Adisti's hand clenched tightly. She does not want her husband to do romantic things to other women even though he is her best friend.

During this time Adisti always prides Bryan in front of his family. He said if the man always treated him more specifically than any other woman, nothing would be able to take his place, be it in Bryan's heart or physique because everything only belonged to Adisti. However, what the woman saw was different. Even now his own best friend, the person he had been proud of was able to match his position.

Adisti cannot swallow what he sees now, he must know the extent of Bryan and his best friend's relationship. Hopefully what the woman saw is not true, for that Adisti must strengthen his mentality from now on.
