The Promise You Make
84. Don't hate it so much

"Neng, why?" asked Bik Rina who saw her superior was not calm.

Adisti looked up at Bik Rina. She asked even though she was embarrassed. "When did Aunt get married, Auntie was nervous?"

Bik Lina frowned as she felt strange about her superior question. Hadn't Adisti also been married before, but why even ask him. Maybe this is what different people call different flavors.

"Why ask Auntie? Didn't Neng Adisti ever get married?"

"Yes, Bik, but this time it feels different. Now more deg-degan double. If the morning thought when the night, if the night thought when the morning, the pokonya all restless."

Bik Rina chuckled at the answer from her employer. "All brides have felt the same way. Aunty used to feel that way too."

"I used to be at my first wedding I also felt bad, but not like now. This time it felt more racing, my heart continued to beat irregularly," Adisti said as he placed his hand on his chest, right where his heart was.

"Maybe this is also a sign that if in this Eneng marriage, later it will be able to make Neng happy until death separates."

"Amen. Hope it's like that. There are only two days left, but it feels so long. Though yesterday when the wedding was set for less than a month it felt bad, but why now it feels like it was slow as if mocking me."

"That's because Neng thought too much, so the timing felt slow. Just enjoy every second, this will also be a memento to later be told to friends or children later."

Adisti nodded, looking at the middle-aged woman who had always accompanied him in this house. "Sir, later after I get married, same Aunt Naina just stay here huh? If Auntie leaves, this house will be empty no one occupies."

"If I go with Naina, anywhere is up to her."

Adisti also looked at Naina who was also there, hoping that the girl would fulfill her request. "But, I feel bad about continuing here because you don't live here anymore."

"That's exactly what, I want you and Auntie here to take care of this house. If I need to find a maid again, so I can help take care of this house so that Aunt is not tired."

"Don't, Neng. Can occupy this house alone is happy, do not need to find anyone else." Bik Rina looked at her daughter and nodded, giving a sign of wanting to stay in this house.

"Yes, Madam Adis, later I will also help Mom to take care of this house. Think of it as paying because we are allowed to stay at home" Naina said.

"It is precisely me who is grateful for Auntie and you want to stay here. Whatever others say leave it alone, don't listen to what they say. I am the owner of this house, I have the right to determine who can stay here and not. Auntie understands, don't you mean?" said Adisti who really knows how people out there who do not like it. He did not want to make Bik Rina and Naina feel uncomfortable.

"Of course, Auntie always understood what Neng Adisti said."

"Alhamdulillah then and you Naina, what about your work? You're getting used to it without me, aren't you? Maybe in the future you should start getting used to it."

Naina frowned, not understanding Adisti's intentions. He does love working there, but what does the word get used to mean? His boss is full of mystery.

The girl also ventured to ask, "I mean? There will be Ms. Adisti later so, I'll go back to my original job, as Mom's assistant."

"No. You will replace me. I would still occasionally go to the boutique, but would probably rarely go there. I'm handing it over to you as a boutique manager. I'll find you an assistant later so I can help you with your work."

"But I don't deserve that, ma'am. In the boutique there are still some people who work better than me, it would be nice if they were the only ones appointed."

"No, Nai. I trust you completely. If other people who cultivate boutiques, do not rule out the possibility if they will later betray me. It's enough Bryan and Arsylla to fool me, I don't want any more. If that happens then I will never forgive him."

"But, ma'am, aren't you afraid that I'm going to embezzle money and make a boutique lose?" ask Naina doubtfully.

"No. I trust you, you can do a good job. I ask you to take good care of my trust. I entrust everything to you, lest you betray me like the people who lived with me before."

Naina looked at her mother, looking for answers to what she should do. Ms. Rina was actually also heavy to accept all this, but at this time Adisti is difficult to believe in others. She and Naina should have felt lucky that her master had so much faith in her and the princess, but her responsibilities had now increased. Either Bik Rina and Naina are willing or not.

"It's up to you to accept it or not. Think also of yourself whether you can handle it or not" said Bik Rina while staring at the princess.

Naina is in a dilemma, she doesn't know what to say. On the other hand the girl began to feel comfortable with her work now in the boutique, but once never thought of, but as time went on Naina began to feel comfortable.

Adisti clasped one of Naina's palms, making the girl look at her. "Think about it well. I also will not force you if you do not want to bear the responsibility I have given you. It's okay, let me think of another way. Think well so that later you do not feel burdened."

Naina nodded, thankful Adisti didn't force her.

The doorbell rang, Bik Rina opened the door immediately. It turns out that Vira who came, Adisti was happy because there was finally someone accompanying him in the middle of his anxiety. Om Edwin himself said that it would come one day before the wedding, as well as Aunt Soraya and husband. Adisti also gave the clothes that Vira will use at the reception. He deliberately gave clothes that are in line with the Yasa family so that the whole family becomes compact and harmonious.

"Dis, can I ask you something?" vira asked as the two were in the room.

"Ask what, just ask," Adisti replied without looking at his cousin and focusing only on the phone at hand.

"Si Rio's married yet?"

Instantly Adisti was surprised and widened his eyes towards Vira. "Rio's? Rio who? Yasa's assistant?"

"Yes, who else does Rio know besides him."

"Why suddenly nanyain the Rio? Don't tell me you feel the same way about him. Is it really like that?"

"E–no, who said! I'm just gonna ask. What if I ask about someone else can't?" vira stammered inexplicably.

Adisti felt that something was hidden by his cousin, for sure Vira had feelings for his fiancee's assistant or maybe both were indeed something he didn't know.

"Have you been communicating with each other all this time?" adisti asked while watching Vira's expression, hoping to get an honest answer.

"Boro-boro communication, he's a very cold person. I have spoken at length, he replied hm .. hm .. ngeselin really, right? I really want to hit his head so he immediately realized and not careless anymore."

"Don't hate it too much, it'll be love."
