The Promise You Make
89. Mother's Advice

"No need, I can be alone," declined Adisti who immediately stood up from his seat.

The woman also went to the bathroom. However, Yasa first blocks his wife's wrist and pulls it, making Adisti flinch and eventually crash into Yasa's body. Soon the man hugged his wife, really Adisti felt he was not okay. Moreover, his heart was now beating irregularly.

"Take me off, Mas. I'm going to the bathroom." Adisti tries to rebel by moving his body to let Yasa's embrace go, but the man's embrace is even tighter.

Yasa smiled at the new call from his wife. He stared and scanned the face of the wife who looked so very beautiful. If they had not broken up, surely now the two are happy together, therapy

"You call me Mas?"

"Yes, don't you like it? You want me to change that call? What do you want to call?"

"I love that call because you chose it."

"Thank God then, but let me go first, I want to clean my body."

"Why do you seem to be shy and want to avoid me? Aren't we legal husband and wife? Will I get my rights tonight?" yasa whispered right in the wife's face.

Adisti, he himself is also confused about what to do, even though he has been married, but at times like this why he looks like a fool and does not know anything. Seeing his wife silent, Yasa grinned, thinking of what he could do.

The man advanced his face, eroding the distance of the two. Adisti who understands the desire of the husband can only resign. Now she has also become a wife and must fulfill the wishes of the husband. However, when the distance was only an inch, the door of the hotel room was knocked by someone from the outside, making Yasa growl upset at having to undo his intentions.

Adisti who felt the arms of the husband weakened was immediately rebellious and ran to the bathroom. She feels funny with her husband's behavior even though she currently feels nervous. Though this was not the first time for her, but why the sensation was so different, while Yasa opened the room door violently. I would love to curse that waitress. However, he tried to hold back. There was no way the man would vent his frustration at a person who knew nothing.

"Mother's son why daydream alone here?" mother Aisyah asked her son named Rio. The man was sitting on the balcony chair while staring at the already dark sky. Ms. Aisyah sat down next to her son.

"Mothers. I'm okay, I'm just calming my mind. Too many jobs in the office are pointing since Mr. Yasa took his leave," Rio replied with a smile.

"You don't have to lie to Mom. Office work won't upset you like this, it must be about women, right? I'm glad that you finally think about your future too. You're old, it's time to build a house. Although you are a great man and can get anything you want, without a woman you are nothing. A great man is recognized for his greatness after having a wife and being able to make her happy."

Rio sighed softly, his mother is indeed a person who cannot be lied to. It's always been that way, as if you know what you're thinking.

"I'm close to a girl, Mom, but I have doubts about the continuation of our relationship."

Aisyah's mother looked at the son and asked, "Is there something you don't like about her?"

He had loved Vira for a long time. Ever since she worked with Yasa, it was her first time meeting the girl. Rio initially thought Yasa had a relationship with Vira, until finally the man tried to shake off his joy. But in the end he found out that his boss loved his cousin Vira, Adisti.

Of course it makes Rio happy because he feels he has a chance to get it. But again fate separated them. Vira chooses to live out of town with her father. From then on Rio could only see the girl through her social media, hoping to someday be reunited. Now that the opportunity was in plain sight, the man felt insecure. He felt himself to be very small and far different from Vira.

"Don't conclude anything unilaterally. You don't know their families. Get to know them first, how their characters and personalities are. May they accept your situation as it is. Especially our families who are all from the village. If they don't matter for what they don't feel confident about. We should be proud of whatever we have."

Rio nodded and thanked his mother who was already willing to hear his grievances. At this moment the man felt a little relieved at being able to express his heart. Later he will try to talk about this with Vira, hoping that the girl he loves does not mind her situation. Even if later Vira refused it means they are not a match.

"How was Yasa's wedding? Everything's going well, right?" ask Ms. Aisyah.

"Alhamdulillah, everything is good, ma'am. Mommy should have come along, I'm sure you're happy to see Mr. Yasa with his wife."

"Do you want to be embarrassed there? Mother never came to a party like that, fearing it would even be the talk of people and make your boss embarrassed. I'll see him later and congratulate him. I haven't seen Yasa in a long time either."

"Yes, Mom, Mr. Yasa also said that yesterday, he said later after marriage will come to visit."

Yasa had indeed considered her mother Rio like her own mother, even asking Bu Aisyah to call him by name only so that their relationship was closer. At first, of course, Bu Aisyah refused because she felt disrespectful to her son's boss, but because Yasa forced her to agree. After all Yasa was also a good man, he was happy to be able to get acquainted with the man. Although rich but humble.

"Is his wife good too? I'm also curious to meet her."

"Miss Adisti is good too, ma'am. The proof is that he took good care of Mr. Yasa during the accident."

"Thank God then, I calmed down and didn't think about it anymore so, now there's someone taking care of her. Now that you are looking for a partner, remember the message of mother, do not easily judge others and do not easily believe too just like that! You have to feel everything so as not to step wrong. Think everything out well."

"Yes, Mom, thank you for the advice. Now it's getting late, you better rest. The night breeze is not good for Mom's health, let Rio deliver!" Rio reached out a hand in order to bring his mother to the room. However, brushed aside Bu Aisyah.

"Mother can still walk, no need to be escorted."

"Yes, Rio knows, but what's wrong if Rio wants to drop off Mom. Maybe later you can be delivered by your daughter-in-law, just pray I can get it because she is a good woman."

"Mom will always pray for you."

Rio was finally taking the mother to the room to rest, then he was the one who also had to rest his body. There's a lot of work waiting for tomorrow."
