The Promise You Make
99. Fear of not being pregnant

"Mas, about the Bryan and Arsylla case how's it going? You never told me again. Has the trial started?" ask Adisti.

"Only the first trial alone, the second trial is two weeks away. I deliberately didn't tell you so you wouldn't think. Later I will tell you the results, I will tell you" replied Yasa.

"Did you come to the first hearing yesterday?"

"No. I left everything to the lawyers, but I asked them to get Bryan punished. I wouldn't be able to accept that Bryan was free. So is Arsylla because the brain of all this is that woman. He really is a problem and a disease among all," Yasa said with a sharp look ahead.

"Yes, you're right. He is the mastermind of everything. If only I hadn't been incited to part with you, we would have been happy."

"There is no need to remember the past. What is important now is that we can be together and will always be happy. I won't let anyone else disturb our household."

"Yes, Mas. I am also happy and will always be happy with you."

One week has passed, Today Adisti and Yasa will move into the house that the man has prepared. The house is so big and spacious. Yasa had also prepared three female maids at home. There was one gardener and one security guard. If there is still less Adisti can also hire people again, it does not matter for the man as long as the wife is comfortable.

Adisti mendes*h tired, he had asked the husband to buy a small house, but what can be done if Yasa has already bought it. The man reasoned that later it would be less spacious and the children were also not free to move if the house was small. Kids will have trouble playing. Yasa did not want his wife to feel lonely at home. If the house is large, the residents are also many so Adisti can do whatever he likes.

The garden in the house was also very large. Maybe later the wife can plant anything there. Adisti likes to have a large garden. She would ask her husband to wake the gazebo in the middle.

"How, Honey? Do you like the house?" yasa asked as he looked at the state of the house.

"I told you the house wasn't too big like this, Mas. This house is too big."

"From now on you complain like that continue, I've explained so that later if there are children at home can be crowded so, they are also not bored."

Adisti's face turned moody, in his heart he was afraid to make the husband disappointed, he could not do anything either. It is all pure provision of the Almighty.

"That's also if I can get pregnant. What if I can't give you a child? I was with Bryan for six years and I couldn't get pregnant either. I don't want to let you down because your expectations aren't met."

"If you don't get pregnant and give me a child, we can adopt a child. Why are you complicating something easy. The doctor also said that if you are healthy, only God has not given his sustenance. I also don't know if I'm healthy or not because I haven't checked myself out."

"I married you not to make children, but to be happy with you and build a household together. If indeed you are not given the opportunity to get pregnant maybe it is the way from God that we love abandoned children. Outside there are many street children who lack affection, we as people who are able, can give affection to them. Although there's a different feeling to them when their own biological parents give affection, but at least we can treat the loneliness they're experiencing."

Adisty nodded confirming what Yasa said. Somehow the response of the husband's family, whether they will accept it or not, considering Yasa is an only child. Until now Adisti also never met directly with his father-in-law, who is also a rival of Gunawan. He himself had never asked about the story of the two parents Yasa to the husband.

The woman also wanted to explain about the true story she heard from Gunawan. Adisti does not want misunderstandings to always happen. After all, he already considered Gunawan like his own father. Now that Faisal was his father-in-law, sooner or later they would also meet in an event because they were already attached to their respective children.

Faisal is currently living abroad alone. He never married either. Many women want to approach him and intend to establish a relationship, but always rejected because for him the woman he loves is his ex-wife.

"Mas, when are you going home? Didn't you say that papa will come home after you get married, why hasn't he come home yet."

"I don't know either. Yesterday I had time to call papa and ask when to go home, but papa is still reluctant, he said still comfortable there."

Adisti's face became lethargic, even though he was excited to welcome the arrival of the in-laws. "Does papa live there alone?"

"No. There were two servants there, both men because papa did not want to hire women. There used to be a maid who deliberately wanted to trap papa to marry him, as she was a rich widower who did not want to. Papa at that moment was furious after knowing the true incident. Papa finally fired him and his friend, even though his friend did not know at all, but also affected him because he was also a woman. Since then, my father has hired only men. Papa also takes care of his own needs, the waiter just cleans the house, even cooking also papa himself. Maybe because he didn't have a job he joined."

"Why don't you force me to go home sooner. Why does papa seem so reluctant to go home, is there someone who makes papa not want to go home?" ask Adisti who deliberately wants to pry information.

"Just the opposite, dear."

Both of Adisti's brows furrowed, he squinted his eyes as if asking the husband the intent of the man's actual words.

Yasa who understood the meaning of the husband immediately replied, "Papa is ashamed to come back here."

"Thy? Shame why?"

"Papa had misunderstood someone and accused his friend of a no-no. It was only two years ago that Papa found out what had happened before and it was too late. That's what keeps you from coming home."

"Misunderstand what, Mom? You're talking convolutedly makes me dizzy. What's going on?"

Yasa looked at the wife, he hesitated to have to tell her about this matter or not because this was the secret of his parents, but there were others involved as well. Maybe Adisti can also help so that the papa can escape from his guilt.
