The Promise You Make

The Promise You Make
57. Forgive


"Call? Is that all you can do? Don't you want to meet Vira directly and apologize in front of her? Indeed, now the times have been sophisticated, but your relationship is very close like a sibling. Even Vira is willing to be away from me so that she can always be beside you and accompany you in joy and sorrow, but you are also the one who has failed her. You also understand that disappointing Vira means disappointing me, too" Edwin said, staring intently at his nephew.


Adisti's tears were dripping, really he didn't mean it that way. The girl used to think that her cousin was okay and thought that Vira wanted to stay with her father. Who would have thought it would be like this at last. Seeing his nephew cry in terror made Edwin could not bear. However, his heart still ached as he recalled what his nephew liked to do to his daughter.


"Pa, Dis, what's going on? Why is Adisti crying?" ask the new Vira.


From a distance he could see that his father and cousin were struggling. I don't know what happened to make the two argue. The face of his father was emotional, while Adisti was crying. They must be having a problem, I don't know what it is.


"The virus!" edwin exclaimed so surprised to see his daughter who was already there, while Adisti turned his face to wipe away the tears. He did not want his cousin to know what had happened, for sure Vira would feel guilty later. Moreover, said Edwin earlier the girl did not know anything about what had been done by his om.


"Pa, why shut up? What really happened to make her cry? Papa's mad at him?" ask Vira again for not getting an answer.


"No, Papa's just advising him. If you don't believe just ask him, "Edwin replied without seeing his daughter, hoping Vira would believe it and not ask again. However, it was just wishful thinking.


Vira turned to look at Adisti, hoping that his cousin would tell the truth. Even though it felt very unlikely since it was certain that the woman would cover up the truth.


"Pa, I'm not a child anymore, please tell me honestly what Papa did to Adisti?"


Edwin shifted his eyes because he did not want to look at his daughter. Vira is very pity with the habits of his father, it is certain that the man is lying.


"Dis, tell me what's wrong? Don't lie to me! We're better, let's not have any more problems."


Adisti tried to smile at his cousin and said, "I'm fine, really, Vir. Right said Om earlier, Om Edwin only advises me. You know I'm a stubborn man, so you have to be hard on my advice."


Edwin glanced at his nephew, not expecting Adisti to lie. Though he had thought Adisti would tell all the Viras and ended up fighting with the princess, but who would have thought the opposite happened.


Vira sighed, it seemed useless to ask papa and his cousin. They will cover up what has happened. If that is the will of both, let him hope for sure no matter what happens, hopefully everything is fine. Vira was sitting in the middle of the two, he began to try to melt the atmosphere so that both Adisti and the papa did not hold a grudge.


"Tomorrow we go for a walk, Dis! Anywhere, as long as it can cool the head," asked Vira.


"I'm sorry, Vir, I don't want to refuse, but tomorrow I have to go back home, there's a job waiting" Adisti replied lying.


Though he was his intention in this city for three or four days, but after knowing the truth made the woman reluctant to linger in this city. Moreover, you have to live in a house with people who try to harm it. It wasn't because Adisti was afraid that Edwin would harm him again. He felt disappointed in her. Edwin also won't until after that hurt himself in this house.


He was sure if anything was purposely hidden and it must be a serious matter. Adisti is unlikely to just leave when the plan has been drawn up. Vira became worried that it would make family relationships so tenuous, even though he had been very trying to make everything okay.


"It's not like that, Vir. I do have a job from my secretary. I hope you understand" Adisti Tang said, still trying to persuade her cousin.


"No, you must be lying. I know for a fact that you came home because of that problem with papa, right?"


"No, Vir. How many times do I have to tell you I don't have a problem with Om Edwin. Don't be so bad to me and your papa, it's not good."


"Then you should stay here for a few days. I want us to go together to many places."


Adisti let out a long sigh, it seemed like it would be difficult to persuade his cousin. It was better to just follow suit, he had also planned like that before. Now just continue as planned.


"Well, if that's what you want. Later I'll call my secretary and postpone some work, but I can only stay here for three days, more than that I can't."


"Yes, it's okay. Three days is enough. I know you're a busy person, must be a lot of work," said Vira ketus deliberately made-up, to make Adisti feel bad.


"I'm sorry, I don't mean that I want to be here any longer."


"Yes, I understand already. You don't have to feel sorry, now we should just talk about something else."


Adisti nodded with a smile. He will not be able to report his om to the police station, surely later Vira will feel sad. Maybe this time he should forget about the incident, not because he was afraid of the perpetrators, but this is for the sake of family relations with Vira. Later he will contact his lawyer to retract a report about the abduction at that time.


Although it could ensnare her ex-husband, Adisti does not want her to be imprisoned. Bryan also will not be possible to release Edwin just like that if arrested, maybe even later will use his omnya to earn money. This time he had to be ready with whatever Bryan was going to do. If Edwin gets back involved, the woman will be forced to take him to the legal line.


"You weren't here with a drink, Vir? When we talk here just shut up! Bring a drink like a snack cake, let's not be bengong aja," cried Edwin made Vira patted his forehead.


"Oh yes, forgot. Yeah, wait here, let me go inside. I took the snack, I happened to buy a lot of it yesterday with Auntie." Vira soon passes from there, leaving his father and cousin behind.


"Why don't you tell Vira the truth?" edwin asked as soon as Vira's shadow was out of sight.


"There's no reason to tell the truth. I also don't want to see disappointment on Vira's face. For this time I forgive Om, but not for later. If I know Om's back on the line, I'm sorry if I'm being disrespectful to Om."
