The Promise You Make
26. Suspicious of Nadia

"Mom, this is a boutique report this month" Nadia said as she placed a map on her boss' desk.

Adisti took it and checked. However, he was astonished that Nadia still remained standing beside him. The woman was sure there must be something her assistant wanted to convey. For a few minutes there was no sign of conversation.

"What's wrong? Just say it" Adisti said without looking at his assistant.

Nadia looked up at her boss and asked, "Have you really taken the house that Mr Bryan bought?"

Adisti frowned while looking at the assistant. "Why are you asking about it? You don't usually interfere in my affairs, let alone question something I've done? You usually support me. Have you changed direction at the moment? Want to side with them?"

"No, Ma. I just feel sorry for Mr. Bryan. He's been your husband all along."

Adisti who had opened the map in front of him also closed it slowly. The woman stared intently at her assistant, who had always supported her. But suddenly, today has changed. This makes Adisti not trust others.

"She did her husband's job right, but do you know what she's doing behind my back? I've given him a position as one of the influential people in the company of my late papa friend. I also gave him all the facilities in the house to belong to him and he could use as he pleased. I also gave her mother monthly money and paid for her sister's college. I respect his entire family and regard them as my own family, but what do you see in the end? He betrayed me by marrying another woman. Not only that, he was also corrupt in the company and spent a lot of money on the woman. Where is the goodness in him, which requires me to consider what I have done to him? There were too many wounds he had given me, but I had given him much pleasure. He should have known himself and thanked me for what I gave him, but he did not know himself so he acted," said Adisti fiery.

She already hates her husband so much, everyone calls the name of the man, making Adisti want to pull out his horns. He can't tolerate treason, whoever it is.

Nadia only lowered her head, she knew that at this moment her superior was furious. Not meant to interfere in the affairs of the boss, just that the woman regretted the marriage of Adisti and Bryan. All this time they look so romantic and harmonious even without the presence of a child. However, after hearing what Adisti said, Nadia felt guilty. He should have known that his boss wouldn't do anything for no reason.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I do not intend to interfere in Mother's affairs," said Nadia regretfully.

"No problem. You have the right to say what is in your heart. Rather than you talking about me in the back, it is better to say it directly. I prefer it that way and lest you also follow in my husband's footsteps by betraying me. You certainly know what I can do if until that happens, I wouldn't like to do something to people who betray me. Even his family can feel it."

When Nadia's body shuddered, there really was no meaning in his words earlier, but why did Adisti's words sound so terrible. He has been an assistant for a long time. However, nothing like this happened this time. Usually just a small matter.

"Sorry, Mom. Again I'm sorry."

Adisti nodded and gave Nadia a code to leave her room immediately. Adisti was again busy with the map in front of him. After making sure his assistant really left, he tried to contact Leo by phone.

"What else did you call me? Didn't I help you get rid of those traitors?" leo asked annoyed at feeling his break was interrupted.

"I need your help once again. Find out about my secretary Nadia, whether she's also part of a traitor or not."

"Well! There are so many people who make you destroyed, until everyone is closest" Leo sneered. However, it is not covered by Adisti at all.

"Alright, don't forget the transfer, my money's been thinned."

"certain." Adisti immediately disconnected the phone unilaterally.

That made Leo snort. However, inwardly smiled as his money again increased. He's not a man who likes to be raucous, Leo prefers to use his money for business. At the moment he really needs the money because he knows that Adisti always pays it dearly.

Meanwhile, Adisti was still silent at his desk. The woman thought of all the possibilities she would do after knowing the truth about Nadia. Either his assistant was loyal or indeed a traitor. In his heart Adisti hoped that what he was afraid of was not true because all this time, the woman had enough trust in her assistant.

However, nothing is impossible in this world. The proof alone Arsylla who had been considered like a brother Adisti also traitor, even worse he was the mastermind of all this. It was all done simply because of its sense of rhythm that had been stored for many years. It is so sad this life.

Isn't there anyone who is really sincere about Adisti and thinks like a brother? Had his whole life been like this, alone without being surrounded by anyone. Sometimes the woman also feels tired, eager to live like everyone else, happy with her husband and family. Adisti also wanted a child, but he could do what God had not provided for.

Maybe it is also a sign that he and his husband are not the soul mate of the afterlife. Adisti contacted a lawyer who had been helping him in all matters, also including the company. He wanted the lawyer to take care of the divorce and the trial, hoping that everything could end quickly. Yesterday he got a message from a lawyer who previously took care of his divorce, so he had to find a replacement. Adisti also does not want to buy time. The trial will be held in a week.

"Can I know why, why you want to sue Mr. Brian for divorce? Because as far as I know your relationship and husband is quite good all this time. Did Mr Bryan do any violence?" ask the lawyer carefully, afraid if it offends his client.

"He betrayed me. He married another woman without my consent. He also embezzled company funds. But that doesn't matter to me. I can handle it. The most important thing now is to take care of my divorce. Also make sure Bryan can't demand the gono gini treasure and can't get anything from me. He had to go back to where he came from. You certainly understand what I want."

"Sure, for me it's a very easy thing. Especially from the beginning your husband also does not bring anything when married. Everything comes from the family, fortunately the company shares also still belong to your papa. You also have a store before you get married."

"Yes, I did deliberately not change the name of ownership, afraid that something like this would happen."

"Well, I'll take care of everything soon. Tomorrow I'll come see you to pick up some of the files I need."

"Please, my house is always open to you."

Adisti immediately ended the call without much pleasantry. Now she must be ready with all the possibilities that will happen, that her husband will oppose with his plans to divorce. I don't know why this has to happen to him. The woman remembered the first time when she decided to marry Bryan, her mother was very opposed to it because from the first sight her mother did not like the man.

Unlike the father who handed all the decisions to him. At that time Adisti tried all means to be able to melt the mother and make the woman bless her marriage. Until finally his mother finally agreed too even with the circumstances forced. Now the mother's worries are proven, the marriage just crumbled and incised such a deep wound.

"Ma, I'm sorry I didn't listen to your mother's words. If my mother had always refused this marriage .. no! It should have been me who was not stubborn and asked mama to approve of my marriage. For sure until now everything will be fine and maybe I can marry another man, but unfortunately this is indeed a destiny part of my life. Ii'm sorry. Ma," muttered Adisti amidst the loneliness she felt.
