The Promise You Make
38. Meet

"New shareholders? Who, Om? Why could Om argue with him? Did Om ever have a problem with him?" ask Adisti.

"Actually not with him, but rather with his father Faisal—. In the past Om and Faisal had a misunderstanding," Gunawan replied without seeing his interlocutor.

"Misunderstand what, Om?"

"I came to their house because his wife was my sister's friend. His wife was home alone, and his husband was working. I was having emotions so what was in my head at the time was how to find my sister. I searched his house without asking. I was very worried about my sister, but when I got home there was no one. Just as Faisal suddenly came home and misunderstood, he was so angry that he saw me in his house."

"Didn't Om explain what really happened?"

"It has. I tried to explain what I came there for. However, jealousy blinded him to the point of making him very angry and thinking no-no. At that time Om felt guilty, should not have just entered the house just like that, but because of emotions, I did not think about the consequences. At that time Faisal divorced his wife just like that without wanting to hear his wife's explanation or my explanation. My guilt is growing because I've destroyed someone else's household. I also had time to ask your papa for help to meet with Faisal. Your father is also a businessman, it must not be difficult for your father to talk to him, but it turns out he still does not want to listen, until finally they are really divorced. I even prostrated myself before Faisal so that they would not divorce and punish me in various ways, but he would not listen and stick to his decision."

"Why isn't she trying to explain?"

"Already, but free. I went to his ex-wife when they separated. I apologized because I had everything messed up like this, but she was indeed a good woman she wasn't even angry in the slightest. It was precisely saying that this was indeed the destiny he had to live. I offered to marry her, but she refused because for her marriage was a sacred bond, not a game. Once a week sometimes I come to her house to help her economy, however I don't want to lose responsibility until she actually finds a man she can love and marry. However, instead I found out the truth that it turns out he had been suffering from brain cancer that no one knew about."

"Astaghfirullah." Adisti closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"The guilt that I felt was getting bigger, finally as a guilt-redeemer I paid for all the treatment costs. At first he refused, but by my insistence he finally accepted. While driving her to the hospital, we met her ex-husband and got angry. He misunderstood that I had married his wife. At that time he wanted to explain to her that he misunderstood, but his wife refused and let it go. She didn't want it until her husband found out about her illness. She begged me not to tell anyone about her pain and I agreed. Until finally he really died because the disease he suffered was the final stage. He can't get through it."

"So until now the person has not known about the truth and still misunderstand the same Om?" tanya Adisti who was suddenly curious about the life story of others, when before she was not like that.

"It seems so and he probably doesn't know that his ex-wife is dead."

"It turns out there are still women who are as good as him. Even though she was dumped and expelled by her husband, she still thinks about her husband" said Adisti, who can still be heard by Gunawan.

"She was indeed a good woman, no one could match her kindness all along."

"What is it that makes Om to this day not married? Even Om chose his own life without marriage."

Gunawan looked at the woman in front of him sharply, as if not confirming what was said. "Who told you?"

"If you're not a secret anymore, Om. Everyone also knows that Om never married, even now the sons of the Om brothers are fighting over Om's inheritance, right?"

Gunawan did not give an answer to his best friend's son. But in his heart he confirmed it. Lately all his nephews are scrambling to do good to him, to make the man fed up with their pretense.

"I wonder who the man who has become Om's rival at this time, who apparently also already has a stake in the company."

"If you meet him, you will fall in love with him. He's a handsome guy" Gunawan timpaned by looking at the woman in front of him.

"But in fact, you also chose the wrong husband and ended up being cheated on as well" said Gunawan who did not want to lose.

"Yes .. Let's just say that I was blind and this time I will no longer be persuaded by the lame seduction of men."

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you decided not to marry again?"

"It's true as Om thought. I have decided not to marry again. I want to live alone. If it's fun why bother yourself with a bond that will hurt yourself."

Gunawan shook his head, not thinking about what was in Adisti's head. "Not all men have the same traits as your husband. There are still many people out there who have a good heart."

"I know, Om. The proof is that papa and Om have a good heart, who only love one woman for the rest of his life" he said, glancing briefly at the man.

"You know it! Who does Om love?"

"Om not married, Om must love that woman, right? Do not dodge, Om's eyes when telling about the woman looks there is a beam coming out of there. The lips were also curled perfectly."

"CK, you poetic pretender. It's already! Let's go to the meeting room! There must be a lot of people there already. Om is also done with the files."

"Yes, Om. Later Om will have to register as a leader because I will only choose Om, nothing else."

"Yes" said Gunawan who then walked out of his room, followed by Adisti behind him.

"Oh yeah, rival son Om whose name is it? Who knows, I can be vigilant inside" asked Adisti between their steps.

"Om doesn't know what his son's name is, but he's clearly from Raharja's family. There's gonna be a surname in the back."

Adisti nodded because he also did not know the names of businessmen. Once in front of the meeting room, Gunawan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Gunawan gave a nod to his assistant and soon the man went in there followed by Adisti.

As soon as their feet stepped inside, the woman was shocked to find a man sitting in one of the shareholders' seats. He had not expected to meet at this place. Unknowingly Adisti's two hands clenched firmly, he really had not prepared himself at all to deal with it, but why suddenly the man was present there. That person is Yasa—former lover who used to be in his heart—and now he is trying to avoid it. The call from Gunawan disperse Adisti's daydream, making the woman continue her steps and sit beside Gunawan.

"What's wrong?" gunawan asked in a whisper.

"There's nothing, Om. Just a little nervous. It's the first time I've been to a meeting like this" Adisti replied lying.

It is also impossible for him to tell the truth. The questions were all in his head how could the man be here. Soon he was patis so as not to disturb his mind.
