The Promise You Make
32. Men from the past

Arsylla was sitting in a restaurant, waiting for someone who had already made an appointment with her. However, it had already been half an hour of time passed there was no sign of that person coming. This of course made him upset because Arsylla was impatient to meet the person, the person he had deliberately contacted earlier this afternoon.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was suddenly silent, the curious Arsylla raised her head to look. His smile immediately rose when he realized who was coming. He was Yasa, the man was sitting in front of Arsylla with a cold gaze, while Yasa's assistant was just silently standing at the side.

"What do you want to order?" ask Arsylla with a smile made as sweet as possible.

"No need, just tell me what was your purpose in inviting me here?" ask her in a cold tone without wanting to mince words.

"Why rush? There's still plenty of time, we can enjoy it casually."

"If you don't want to tell me your purpose, I'd better go home now. I don't want to waste my time in vain. My time is precious" said the man named Yasa and immediately stood up.

However, Arsylla prevented it first. "Alright, I'll say what I want" he said quickly and it made Yasa sit back. "Are you still following Adisti's life?"

Hearing the name of the woman he once loved so much, he made Yasa look at Arsylla sharply, waiting for the woman to continue her sentence. He would be very angry if anything bad happened to Adisti. Whoever he is has to face him.

"Why look at me like that? I'm just asking, are you still following Adisti's life journey or have you stopped, ever since my friend asked you not to bother him?"

"Just say it clearly, don't go around in circles" said Yasa, annoyed at the sight of her blushing face.

"I used to love you so much, whatever I did for you as long as you could be mine, but when I got to this point, why is it so hard for you to fall in love with me? What is less than me? I'm not inferior to Adisti either, whatever that woman has I can have her too. Why don't you look at me in the least?" adisti asked with teary eyes.

"Without me even explaining you certainly know what sets you apart from Adisti."

"Oh yeah! But I don't see that advantage" argued Arsylla who tried to keep her eyes bright and not cry.

"Because you're too arrogant. That's just one reason, not another. Don't tell me that what you're doing isn't lacking because I see you that way. Not to mention your other shortcomings, including lying to Adisti by helping Bryan to get Adisti's love. Even with the lies you've created."

Arsylla fell silent, not expecting Yasa to know his cunning all along, but why didn't the man tell Adisti? It was just a lie to make her feel scared.

"Why? Do you doubt that I know? I deliberately didn't want to tell Adisti the truth because I didn't want him to be disappointed in you. You are the best friend he trusts the most because of that I don't want to hurt Adisti's feelings. I'm sure one day he'll know the truth himself. However, in the end I was wrong because Adisti never knew until this second, right?"

Arsylla laughed cynically, looking at the man in front of her. "He never knew about it, but God was so kind to him that he knew my other cheating."

"meaning?" asked Yasa with a shrunken forehead. Anything about Adisti is always curious.

"She knew that I betrayed her and now her marriage to Bryan is also on the verge of collapse."

Yasa was so shocked to hear the news. For a long time he had not heard the news about Adisti, because the woman herself asked him not to interfere too much in the affairs of his life. The man also pulled out everyone he had been sending to keep an eye on Adisti. But it turns out his decision was wrong. Something big happened in the woman's life and Yasa had absolutely no idea.

She thought that Adisti and Bryan's marriage was okay and looked so happy. Didn't expect it to be like this. If Yasa knew the end would be like this, he would never stop to watch over Adisti's life. The man will always be next to the woman of his heart. Although only anger was gained, Yasa did not care.

"Is your story believable? Don't you just tell lies and make up stories to make me look ugly in Adisti's eyes."

"I'm not that bad. I didn't like Adisti for a long time, but what I'm saying is true and you know nothing is free in this world."

Yasa smiled mockingly, it turned out that Arsylla had never changed. Whatever is done there must be a reward. No matter how much the woman had, there was never any gratitude spoken from her lips.

"I'll give you whatever you want, but explain everything in detail what happened to Adisti."

"Unfortunately I need a long-term one. I want you to give me a job. Of course, with a high salary."

"Alright, let my assistant take care of everything."

Arsylla finally told him what had happened to his best friend. Although actually in the deepest heart he did not want to tell a story. But all for the sake of his family. Wanting to tell Yasa a lie was also all for free, surely the man would find out the truth and when it came then his life would not be fine so, it was better for him to tell everything.

Regarding later how to separate Yasa with Adisti the woman can manage it, which is important at this time the finances can return to what they used to be. Arsylla doesn't want her family to know what happened to her. Let him work hard here as long as his family is fine.

"Is your story believable?"

"You are a great man, it must be easy for you to find out" said Arsylla who was quite understood by Yasa. They knew each other quite well from the past so, the man quite understood what his former best friend meant.

"Well, my assistant will call you and tell you when you can work. I have to go, there's still work to do." Yasa stood up, preparing to leave.

"Don't forget to pay for the food at the table, you know for yourself how cruel Adisti is. He's made me have nothing" Arsylla said before the man left.

Yasa smiled devil, it turns out that the woman of his heart never changed. Adisti would make anyone completely ruined if he dared to play around with her. The man gave his assistant a code to pay for the food at the table. If necessary Arsylla can also take him home, while Yasa himself has left the restaurant and walked to his car.

He'll wait for his assistant to finish. In the car, Yasa looks at a picture of Adisti while they were still friends.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time, now how are you? Is it true that Arsylla said that you were parting ways with Bryan? If you had never prevented me from watching you, none of this would have happened, but I'm glad you're okay. Even more powerful now.

Rio—asisten Yasa—berdehem so that his boss knows that he has entered the car. However, it seemed that Yasa did not care at all and continued to look at his phone, making Rio shake his head and drive his car towards the company. The assistant knows how much Yasa loves Adisti because he also always takes orders from his superiors to take care of Adisti's needs, even from very small things. Sometimes he is also upset because Yasa is like a bod*h man because he is in love. The woman clearly chose someone else.

"Rio, immediately send a white rose to Adisti's house. Make sure it's okay" Yasa said without taking his eyes off the phone.

"Sir, do you believe Miss Arsylla's words? What if he's lying?"

"I know him very well. He wouldn't lie for this sort of thing, he knew very well how I would act if he were to be caught lying."

No more words came out of Rio's mouth, in fact Yasa knew Arsylla better than he did. After all, his work was only obeying the orders of his superiors.
