The Promise You Make
71. Who is that traitor?

Adisti has informed Om Edwin and Aunt Soraya about Yasa's proposal. The whole family was so happy to hear about Adisti's wedding plans. Aunty Soraya who previously felt sad because she could not accompany her nephew when divorced also felt happy. This time the woman promised to come at Adisti's wedding.

Although Soraya was not the biological sister of the late father Adisti, she loved her nephew as much as her own daughter. It was just that the distance that separated them, making the two rarely meet. Communication is also perfunctory, but it does not diminish the affection between them.

Vira who knew the proposal plan was also very happy. He actually wants to come to Adisti's house right now, but his work is so piled up, that the girl can't go anywhere. After all Vira also had to meet the man she was going to be betrothed to. Though he had refused outright, but Edwin still insisted because he wanted his daughter to get married immediately and did not care about the whining of the girl.

The door of Adisti's den was knocked by someone from outside. The woman lets him in, which turns out to be Naina.

"What's up, Naina?" ask Adisti.

"Here, ma'am, I want to hand over the file you asked for" Naina replied, handing over a map.

"Have you checked it?"

"Already, Mom. As I said, it turns out there are indeed outgoing expenses that are not clear what their use was for a year ago, but two months ago there was also income also that does not know where."

"You mean?"

"Please check it out for yourself."

Adisti frowned and checked the files given by Naina. It's true that it is like that. This of course made him disappointed because all this time he had tried to be a good boss, but it was not enough to make his employees honest and loyal.

"So do you think that person did take the money intentionally, then after that returned it again? What do you mean the guy thinks this is like a debt, right?"

"I don't know much, Mom, but from what I see it's like that. It seems impossible there are expenses and income with the same nominal and not known why because of what."

"But why? That person can borrow money from me if they really need it. I also never restrict employees from owing me. If they really needed money, I would definitely lend it. Especially if his need for family and circumstances were urgent, there was no reason to refuse."

"Maybe that person feels disinclined, ma'am. Moreover, the nominal is also so big."

Adisti fell silent, thinking of Naina's words. That girl is smart too. However, the question is who has taken the money secretly and returned it without confirmation. Adisti feels sure the guy worked long enough at this boutique. Moreover, the expenditure was already a year ago and only returned two months ago. That means he's an old employee who also has access to finance.

"Naina, do you have any idea who would dare to do this to me? Taking money secretly. Isn't that the same as stealing?"

"I dare not comment, Mom. Of course, at this time you can also judge it yourself. I'm afraid it'll be a slander."

"Yes already. You just come out, let me think about this matter." Naina nodded and left immediately.

Adisti opened his laptop, looking for data for the past year. Hopefully he can find the person who betrayed him. Even though the money had returned, it still could not be left because the person was already dishonest to him. What's wrong with saying directly, Adisti will also definitely give him a loan without cutting his salary especially to ask for interest. He also did not limit his employees when to pay off.

"You have a problem?" yasa asked as she and Adisti were enjoying dinner.

The man saw the lover was not excited. It seems like there is a problem at hand. As a prospective husband of course he will not stay silent, wanting to help Adisti to solve his problem.

"It's just a little problem" Adisti replied by stirring up his food.

"But it looks like your face says if the problem is severe enough. Does this have anything to do with my proposal?"

"No. It's a matter of work. Can I ask you something?" adisti asked while looking at Yasa's face.

The man immediately nodded, he felt that if Adisti was currently in serious mode so, he had to help her.

"What if the person you trust all this time turns out to stab you in the back. About what are you gonna do?"

Yasa thought for a moment, why did Adisti ask like that. Maybe that is what is currently being experienced by the love. He had to give a fairly reasonable answer and no longer make Adisti a dilemma.

"Maybe it's only two. Fired or left to keep working, which of course with some consideration."

"What balance? Is not taking money without the owner's knowledge the same as stealing? If I let it go, there will be something else later on. Nor can I guarantee that the person will never do the same again. I don't want to take any chances. Though all this time I've been very kind to all the employees, but why do they still stab me in the back."

"To do well is not necessarily good for others. Sometimes people misrepresent our kindness. That's why we have to be careful of everyone."

"Did that happen to you too? Should I be careful with you too?" adisti asked with a serious look towards the lover, hoping that the man would answer for what he was and make him sure.

"Of course you have to be careful with me. You have to find something that makes you sure that I am truly worthy of your trust. Who has betrayed you? Do I need my help to solve this problem?" yasa's question was answered with a headband by Adisti.

"no need. I can still solve it myself, it's a small matter. It may just need some firmness. Thank you for listening to me."

"Either. Oh yea! About our proposal how? Have you talked about it with your family?"
