About a promise

Assena sighed deeply, before she started to tell a story. "I'd like to ask you before. Does a man promise, will he keep it?."

Instantly Altur looked at the girl who had uttered such a shocking word. Both Altur's brows were clearly wrinkled, expressing astonishment. Various questions immediately sprung up in his mind, his heart began to guess looking for the meaning of the word he had just heard. Whatdoes thatmean? is there anyone who has promised anything? or the... I don't know.

"Whatchu mean? is there a man you mean who promised you something?" The altur could not bear to ask.

"Jawab it's Altur!" Assena insists she is unwilling to accept questions, only asking for answers to her questions.

A moment Altur was silent, silence stretched between the two of them. He thought about giving an answer.

"I can only answer according to my views and thoughts" Altur gave a pause.

"If someone has promised. There is a possibility to keep his promise, also it is undeniable that it could be denied. It could be for a reason, or it could be deliberately denying and not trying to keep it." For a moment Altur glanced at Assena ascertaining how her facial expression was.

It seems that Assena is still faithfully listening, then he also glanced at Altur when Altur had not continued his words. It was clear in Assena's face of impatience waiting for Altur to continue his words.

"A person will keep his promise if he really means it when he makes a promise, then he will also be serious about keeping his promise. Although it is not easy, but if he really means it no matter how he must try. But otherwise if the promise is just a mere joke, or just to fool. Maybe it will be sheer nonsense, not sure to be teased" continued Altur at length.

Assena seemed silent, as soon as anxiety and doubt crept into her heart. "Did Petter mean it when he promised to come back? or just....." Assena.

The change in Assena's facial expression was also noticed by Altur.

"What's wrong?" Altar asked to be sure.

"There's nothing" Assena threw away a face.

Altur knew something was hidden by this beautiful girl before him. "If you want to share, just tell me!. I'm ready to listen to him. But if you don't want to tell me it's okay, I won't force it." Altur put on his smile.

Assena was just speechless, her eyes blankly staring straight ahead.

Silent..

Silent..

"It's okay." Altur said when it was felt Assena really silenced.

Assena took a slow breath, closing her eyes for a moment. Then opened his eyes, far ahead there is still the direction of his eyes. "I'm waiting for someone" he said without looking at Altur.

"Someone? who's who?". Altur quickly answered.

"He's a friend of my High School, now he's overseas to continue his studies."

"Is he your lover?".

The question that Altur asked, made Assena turn her head. "I don't know exactly how I'm related to him either. After he expressed his feelings to me, then he promised to return with the same analogy.

And he asked me if I would wait for him until he came back, I said that I would also wait for him."

"Then??" Altur.

"The day after that, he completely disappeared. And I never saw him again. Until I heard from his brother that he had gone abroad." As soon as Assena lowered her head, it was so sad that she had to remember that Petter was gone.

Altur knows how Assena is feeling right now. His hands stretched out rubbing Assena's shoulders. "Just be calm, if he means what he promises, he'll come back for you." Altur smiled trying to encourage.

Assena looked at Altur's face and smiled.

***

For a week, Jessy often greeted Assena and Altur, and almost every day took time to just go to the cafeteria together.

Even Jasmine and Yumna also knew Jessy because she often gathered together.

"Assena wait!" Jessy's voice was heard from a distance.

It was seen that the girl walked quickly to immediately approach Assena.

"What's up Jessy?" assena asked when Jessy was in front of her.

"I want to talk to you both." Jessy half whispered then glanced at Altur who was leaning beside the car.

Jessy pulls Assena's hand away from Altur.

From far away Altur was seen watching the two talking girls. "What are they talking about? until I can't hear it." Sluggishly. There is a little curiosity, but how else he can not join the drift.

"What's wrong?" assena asked impatiently to ask, because curiosity had filled her head.

"Emmm.. Look at.." Jessy seemed hesitant, occasionally he glanced at Altur who was far away, which was still the same as his position.

"La-anu... Can I have Altur's phone number?" Jessy was a little shy.

Instantly Assena smiled amusedly hearing that. "So for that you whispered not want Altur to hear it." Assena shook her head, with a smile still etched on her lips.

Jessy just smiled shyly, looking down to hide her cheeks that had been flushed with embarrassment.

"Why don't you ask Altur directly?" goda Assena chuckled.

"I don't dare, I'm ashamed." Jessy's still down.

"All right, I'll give it to you." Assena grabbed her phone from her jeans pocket.

Assena mentioned a few numbers, and Jessy nimbly typed her fingers on her phone screen.

"Thank you, Assena."

"I'll support you." Tempted Assena, as if she knew Jessy's goal to approach Altur.

"Stop Assena, don't tease me. I'm ashamed."

"Not to be ashamed, I'm behind you hehe. And again you should ask Altur directly, he's good. It would be nice to give her phone number to a pretty girl like you." Assena is not stopping to tease Jessy who is now unable to hide her cheeks are red.

"You're this. I go first yes.. Once again thank you" Jessy smiled and turned around and turned to Altur. Then his quick footsteps made him quickly move away. Assena just smiled at the head. Then walk to Altur.

"What did Jessy say?" ask Altur when Assena is approaching.

"You sure you want to know? but it looks like you'll soon find out that Jessy's been in touch with you."

"Connecting me? what's that supposed?" Altur.

"Yes, Jessy just asked me for your phone number." Assena smiled glancing at Altur.

"And you gave it to him?" ask Altur.

"Of course, he seems to like you."

Altur just stared at it, hearing it. It took him some time to digest the words Assena said.

"Would you like to go home or not?" Shouted Assena lowering the car glass, it turns out she was already sitting in the car.

As if awakened, Altur frowned and glanced at the left right, realizing Assena was no more. He rushed into the car, and the car carrying Altur and Assena came out of the campus area and darted into the streets.
