The Promise You Make
67. Arsylla went to Bryan

"Mom and Dad will accept you. You already know them, it will not be difficult to get to know them again" said Yasa.

"But I'm still afraid that your parents don't agree. We have not met for a long time, there must be a different feeling than before" Adisti replied with a sense of disbelief.

"How about tomorrow I pick you up and we go to my parents' house, so you don't think nothing of them."

Adisty stared intently at Yasa and said, "I–iya, but it doesn't have to be tomorrow either, right? I also need to prepare myself."

"Who are you preparing yourself again? No need to bother. You come with what you are, must have made both my parents happy."

Adisti tried to reject Yasa's request. However, the man assured that everything would be fine later, no one would dare to hurt him. If anyone would have dealt with him. Until finally Adisti assures it, but the woman also needs time to prepare her heart and mental.

Yasa gave him a week. Next week they will meet with Yasa's parents. Both do not want to delay the plan too long either, fearing that later it will fail. The man was also afraid that Adisti would change his mind.

Meanwhile, Bryan who is at home is looking for job vacancies through his mobile phone. Every day the man always tried. However, until this moment there is still no work call. Though he has sent many job applications in several companies. Bryan also has work experience, but why do they all seem reluctant to give him a job.

The man was thinking is it possible that this has something to do with Adisti? Is it possible that his ex-wife has spread bad news about him to company leaders, making it difficult for him to find a job.

Sahna herself every day always angry at her husband for not being able to fulfill his wishes. Not like the old days who just just say it must have been fulfilled. Now everything is very difficult, to meet his cravings Bryan is not able to comply.

"Every day Mama always sees you and Sahna fighting. Can't you live quietly in this house? Mama got dizzy hearing it," Mama Lusi told Bryan.

"Mama must have heard what Sahna said so, I don't need to explain anymore."

Mama Lusi took a deep breath and threw it away violently. "If you knew your wife would be like this, Mama would never consent to your marriage either. Compared to Adisti, Sahna is nothing. While here as your wife, Adisti has always done a good job. Even when coming to Mama's house, she also treats Mama well like her own parents. Adisti is also not shy about doing homework. When Mama was sick, she accompanied Mama, making Mama porridge, while Sahna, she rarely entered the kitchen even can be counted on the fingers. It was just to grab a drink or a meal. In the past before marriage he often brought Mama food, sometimes even helping Mama cook at home. Now why is it so different?"

"Now Sahna's pregnant, Ma. it must also be because of the baby's birth. Didn't you say something like that yesterday?"

"Mama take it easy, later if my son is born, Sahna will also change. Surely his motherly soul will appear. Now she is still pregnant, still not attentive, especially so far she is also always spoiled by both parents. When I was with me before, whatever the wish, I always tried to make it happen. Now our lives are like this so, he must be a little surprised. It took some time to adjust" continued Bryan who actually contradicted what he felt.

Bryan doesn't know if Sahna can change. Right now what's in his head is how to get a job with a high salary. He wants to be back with his old life. Although it feels very unlikely, but Bryan still trying to get a job.

The door of Bryan's house was knocked by someone from the outside, immediately Mama Lusi opened it. The woman was quite surprised when she found Arsylla coming. Anger and wanting revenge had enveloped his heart, as much as he could.

"Oh, it seems you came. Where have you been all this time? After making my son's life fall apart, you just left him. You're the one who's supposed to take full responsibility for what happened to my son."

"This aunt is talking what the hell! What happened to Bryan has nothing to do with me. He alone has defined his life. He's also been great, I'm just giving advice, all the decisions are on him" Arsylla said casually.

"You—"

Mama Lusi almost slapped Arsylla in the face. However, swiftly the girl caught the movement of the middle-aged woman's hand that was in front of her. Arsylla is not a weak person, who may be oppressed by others.

"Auntie wants what? Wanna hit me? Don't equate me with Aunt's daughter-in-law, who will accept whatever Aunty's treatment. I came here just to see Bryan, there's something I want to talk to him about."

"What else did you see him for? Your arrival only brought disaster to my family. You better get out of this house!" hardik Mama Lusi while glaring her eyes.

"I'm not leaving until I see Bryan. Now tell him I'm waiting here."

"No, I won't let you meet my son. You better get out of here! Our lives have suffered so much, I don't want everything to get worse."

"Ma, who's coming? Why so noisy?" bryan asked as he walked forward.

He was sitting in the family room, when he heard the noise from outside, the man was sure that the mother was arguing with her guest. Mama Lusi's been ahead long enough. Afraid of serious problems making the fence. Not back yet either.

Bryan turned towards the front and it turned out there was Arsylla. "What are you doing here? After what happened to me you just left. Now you stand in front of me without the slightest guilt. I don't know what your heart is made of. I feel stupid for just believing in you."
