The Promise You Make
31. Secrets each

"Bryan, Mama wants to ask for money," said Lusi as he put his hand in front of the son.

"I don't have any money either, Ma. Mama'll know that I haven't worked" said Bryan, whose gaze continued to focus on his phone.

"Why work if you are always at home every day. Find that job out there! As a man, you have to take responsibility. This is also all because you married that useless woman so now you have to find a job. If only his salary was higher than it was yesterday."

Bryan rubbed his hair in frustration. From yesterday he was already quite confused by his proposal that had not been accepted. All efforts have also been made, there is no sustenance for him.

"If I may also want it that way, Ma, but it's not as easy as Mama thought. I have proposed everywhere, but no one will accept me. Especially after knowing who I was before, they all refused outright. I'm sure this must have been some interference from Adisti. They must have spread some untrue news about me and finally no one would accept me to work."

"How can it be like that? If you already know if you are being slandered, explain everything immediately, why are you just silent? Why not rebel? You should be able to defend yourself, tell everyone that what Adisti said was a lie. Why do you take it for granted! You are a bod*h man. It has been cod*hi your friend to marry a useless woman, now your name is bad because of your wife," said Lusi furiously. It would have been so bad to tear Bryan's face if he didn't remember the man was his son.

"From earlier Mama ngoceh just no stopping, better Mama just go home, I dizzy hear Mama just keep nagging all day."

"You kicked Mama out? You forget that this rented house who paid? Mama too, right? Do not get after this contract is finished you ride in the house of Mama. What's more until you bring the pest, Mama doesn't Sudi."

"Why does Mom talk like that? Either way Sahna is my wife, Mama should support us. Now that she's pregnant with your granddaughter, she shouldn't be stressed either, so don't add to her mind's burden."

Bryan is also actually upset with Sahna because the woman who indirectly, has made herself lose everything. However, he also did not have the heart to see the pregnant woman was always cornered. All this time Bryan had been waiting for the presence of the baby, now it has come so far how can he just raise his hand.

"Mama doesn't care, the important thing is now you look for work and the results you give to Mama. You must be a filial son."

Bryan was careless with Lusi, from the first his mother always did whatever she wanted. He feels like a man who can't make his own decisions, all with the approval of his mother. Only when there is Adisti mama is willing to listen. It was also because of the money his wife had.

"As for Mama, I'll just go out. Too long at home makes the head dizzy." Bryan immediately got up from there and left his mother.

"Bryan! Where are you going?"

"It wasn't my mom who said I should find a job that's bigger than yesterday." Bryan immediately left without waiting for the authorization from his mother, which there will be a longer one.

Meanwhile, Sahna who had heard the talk of her husband and in-laws was furious. Mama Lusi is always alone in doing something. It was clear that if Bryan also had a wife, he shouldn't be demanding much. Especially for the cost of labor also they do not have savings.

Sahna also regrets marrying Bryan. Whereas Arsylla promised a lot of things, if the man was rich, had everything. It turned out that everything belonged to his wife and the husband had nothing. Sahna returns to the room, intending to contact her cousin and hold her accountable.

"Hello, Arsila. Now how should I? You've been lying to me. All this time you said Bryan was a rich man, able to fulfill all my wishes. It turned out that he was a poor man, even poorer than my parents. I don't want to know, you have to take responsibility."

"What's? Responsibility? Indeed during the marriage with Bryan what have you given me? There ain't! You think you're the only one who's broken? I'm also broken. I've been fired and I was kicked out by Adisti from the apartment" replied Arsylla who was across the phone in annoyance. He's lost a lot of things, how can Sahna talk like that.

All this time he thought Arsylla had lived well in the city, in fact just like him. Even his cousin was worse for hitching a ride on life and on other people. Really bod*h once himself for not finding out everything first.

Arsylla just kept silent not answering what Sahna asked. She was embarrassed as well as upset, why should her cousin ask about it. All this time the girl had been trying to cover everything from the families. Arsylla has always said that he has been successful and can buy whatever he wants.

That girl can buy everything. However, it was also on the support of Adisti. If you only rely on his salary, which may be enough for his life. Not to mention having to send money to both parents because his sister is still in school.

"I've always been jealous of you. You can always buy whatever you want, even sometimes you go home also by using a luxury car, but it turns out I was wrong. It's not all yours, you're just hitchhiking to your best friend who you've betrayed. You should be ashamed, if I were you, I would have killed myself for not being able to endure all the shame" Sahna said in a cynical tone.

"What if I was hitching a ride on someone else? I'm not like you who's narrow-minded. Why would I kill myself? I still have responsibilities that are both my parents and my sisters. They still need me so much, I can't possibly ignore them either."

"What do you do now? The job no longer has. I'm sure that if your parents knew what happened to you, they would be very embarrassed because the child they've always been proud of was just a liar."

Arsylla was a little distracted by the words that Sahna spoke. Although he is here in difficult circumstances, but he will not let his family difficult. The girl did evil to her best friend. However, he would not be able to see the sadness on his mother's face.

"What do you want? Don't fuck with me. You should also remember that your card is on me. If I said you were an actor, what would the citizens say? You know how they react, right? They're most anti with women grabbing people's husbands."

Arsylla grinned, she was not a person who easily lost, especially with a cousin like Sahna who was just an amateur woman. The girl can lose to Adisti, but not to Sahna. Arsylla will avenge everyone who has disturbed his life. If only he could avenge Adisti, he would.

"Br*ch! Did you intentionally get me into this trouble? You want everyone to take advantage of my situation?"

"Ha ha ha ha .. Where have you been all this time? Why are you only now aware that I've used my bod*h cousin. I made you marry Bryan because I wanted revenge on his wife. Also to your family who always felt most powerful in the big family. I wonder how they react when they find out about their daughter."

Sahna flirted, she did not expect that Arsylla could be what it is today. The woman did not tell her family about her being only a second wife. Yesterday during a seven-monthly event he was able to convince his family that Adisti was just Bryan's obsessed ex-girlfriend. What if Arsylla speaks? It's gonna be fucked.

"You don't fuck around, Arsylla!"

"Ho ho ho. .. You calm down dong, honey. Don't be so emotional, we both hold secrets so, I hope you can keep your mouth shut. Remember that! Just one word that came out of his mouth, I was able to unpack all that was inside you so, be careful. Don't let your mouth speak wrong."

Arsylla just turned off the phone. He didn't want to waste too much time with someone like Sahna. Now his life is fucked up. However, Arsylla is not a woman who gives up easily. The girl wants to go back to the way she used to be.

Now Adisty can no longer be used. He had to find someone who could be used to make himself like he used to be. Arsylla remembered someone from the past, the girl looked for her number and tried to contact her. Hopefully his number is still active and he can take advantage of the situation.

Right now that person must be happy because Adisti and Bryan have separated. Wasn't that what he expected. Connected calls. However, neither was raised, until the call ended. Arsylla was upset, but tried to call her back and eventually the call was picked up.

"Hello." A hoarse voice from the end of the phone line was heard, a voice that Arsylla had always liked.
