The Promise You Make
93. Deal

"You know how else because she is the child of Mother so, inevitably forced to accompany her," said Bu Aisyah who increasingly upset Rio.

"Because of that, Mom, you better stay here while you're in town so, I have a friend. Later we can also shop together," said Adisti.

"If it were ... I don't feel good living here, but later you'll be more troublesome."

"Why do you think that? No one feels bothered. I feel good because I have friends. After all my husband is also starting work tomorrow, I'm home alone so, I'd better stay here for a while."

"Let's think about it."

Adisti nodded, she also couldn't possibly force you her wish on Rio's mother. He himself will also not be comfortable if he lives in the house of a stranger. Although it is considered ordinary like his own son, it still feels different if at home his son. They also talked while enjoying dinner.

When finished, Adisti invites everyone to the side garden of the house for a barbeque event. The woman seemed so enthusiastic about fanning charcoal together with Ms. Aisyah. Earlier Vira also came, but just now Rio invited her to chat for a moment. Adisti also did not forbid because he knew there was something his cousin wanted to talk about.

"I think you want to take me out to eat, not to know if you come here and have dinner at this house" Vira said.

"I wanted to make sure you came out, too, but suddenly I wanted to come here. I also couldn't possibly let her come alone so, I was forced to cancel our plans. I'm sorry" said Rio who felt bad.

"It's okay, anyway here is also fun, rame so feels family."

Rio just nodded while looking towards Vira at a glance and threw his gaze forward. Both of them could still see the hassles of everyone in the park. The two smiled, hoping that this kind of togetherness would always exist.

"My day and Papa are coming home. Maybe even once a month, what do you think?"

"How's what? It'll be your decision, it's up to you how."

Vira looked back at Rio because the man did not seem to understand what he meant. Rio also scratched his head that was not itchy, it seemed like he had mispronounced.

"You're a man, time doesn't understand what I'm saying!" vira said tightly, instantly making Rio confused as to how.

"I mean how will our relationship continue? Should it be LDR? How do we know each other that our distance is too far."

"Oh." Rio nodded, only to understand what Vira meant. "Actually I don't care if I have to be in long-distance, that's good."

Vira was flabbergasted by the answer Rio gave. Out there surely the couples will feel angry if it has to be a long-distance relationship, but Rio instead thinks the opposite. The man was happy if he had to be far away. Is this the kind of person who would later become Vira's husband? Maybe the girl will be dry and thirsty for affection. All this time, he had received his full affection from his father.

Rio was staring towards Vira when he knew the girl was looking at him sharply. Rio scratched his non-itchy head, it seems like Vira has misunderstood his point. He better explain so as not to be a problem in the future.

"Wait a minute, Vira, I haven't explained. I mean, look, we're still in the process of getting to know. If we are close to each other there will increase sin, if we are far apart we can only listen to each other's voices, see only limited video calls so minimize sin. We can talk a lot on our cell phones. If you want to ask something or want to know something, you can immediately ask me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around me. Especially now that Miss Adisti has also become Mr. Yasa's wife, I will automatically meet her every day. I'm sure Miss Adisti won't lie to you because I know how much she loves you and Om Edwin. If we both fit together and get married, then I'll take you to live with me. When that comes I won't want to have a long-distance relationship with you. Although what I have is nothing much with what your father has, but believe me as a husband I will try to make you happy. Whatever I'll do to fulfill your wish."

Vira was moved to hear so long a sentence spoken by Rio, not expecting the man she had known cold and stiff so far could also say romantic like earlier. Not only romantic, but what he said was only a statement sentence.

"Are you sure of what you said?" ask Vira to make sure.

"Of course I'm sure. I open people who are easy to neutralize promises, I am also not a person who likes to break promises. All I'll do is make that promise fulfilled."

"Well, I agree with what you said. There is nothing wrong with us in a long distance relationship, it is also good so that we avoid sin. May we be fooled, otherwise I do not want any grudge between us. Let's just say we've never been as close and behaved as before."

Rio just smiled and nodded. In his heart he convinced himself that sooner or later Vira would definitely be his. Either he who must try also he does not care, as long as he can have the idol of the heart.

Vira herself also prayed in her heart for herself and Rio to be a match. Out there is not necessarily also a man who is as good as Rio, not necessarily also there is something as attractive as that man. Previously there must have been many women who had expressed love to Rio. However, it was the man who had already rejected him.

Although Rio was a stiff and cold person, it was undeniable that he had an aura of his own that made him feel amazed. Whether this is just a feeling of awe or growing love, let time be answered. Even if later he and the man are not a match, hopefully this feeling will soon disappear.

"We'd better get back there. If not for sure, then Mr. Yasa and Miss Adisti will all insinuate us," Rio invited.

Vira smiled and nodded, she also knew very well how the married couple, who there would later vilify her in front of the prospective in-laws. Thinking of her mother Rio, Vira so felt bad leaving the middle-aged woman to work.
