JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

The truth behind the story of Maya

Tok tok tok door of Alice's treatment room knocked from the outside of the room. Alice who had just finished dinner and taken her medicine already seemed much more excited.

"Now.." Anton responded to the knock on the door. The man thought a nurse would do his job.

The door leaf slid and opened showing a man emerging from the door leaf.

"Sorry to interrupt.." Said the tall, sturdy man with a slightly stiff and tense face.

"Ahh Brother Jun.. Come inside.. Why do you look so stiff." Alice chuckled amusedly at the man's stiffness.

"Ehem.." Dehem the man to relieve his slight nervousness and stepped into the room.

"Please sit down, brother.." Said Alice again allowing the man to sit on the sofa chair.

"Is it a problem of work?" Alice asked again. The girl was still sleeping on the bed that had been lifted half-sitting by Anton.

"Emhh.. I it's a personal matter.." Juna was honest and a little stammered.

"Speak brother.. No need to hold it." Alice was a little surprised and curious about what the man who usually acted calm and mature.

Juna took his seat by sitting upright facing Alice and tried to breathe out slowly and tried to calm down, "Al.. Weren't you always with Maya.. Do you know anything about that woman?" Finally Juna said also what he wanted to ask the man until he willingly came to disturb the rest of this patient.

"Ah.. What's up, brother?" Alice asked in surprise, then remembered something, "Ahh right too, I didn't see Maya at our wedding. I invited him." Alice was astonished and faced her husband. Anton was silent and flat-faced.

"Alice, I've been looking for Maya for one week. He resigned without notice to me. I looked for him in his hometown which was the address on his job application letter. But what I found was another Maya who claimed that all the data in the file was hers that she never even submitted the application to CPR. In addition, the photo I showed the woman did not recognize him. I've been waiting and patient for a few days to find his trail, and amazingly he doesn't show up anywhere. It's like he never existed. I know you're close to him and I'm sure you know something.." Juna explained everything he had experienced these few weeks.

Alice simply widened her eyes not knowing what to say.

"Alice.. Please help me find him.. Do you know anything about him?" Ask Juna again with his own face.

"Sister.. I really didn't know he was gone, even his real identity I didn't know." Alice answered honestly.

"l.. I've heard he was hired by someone to look after you. Can you think again who might do that? I beg you I really can't think anymore where he is. Please tell me." Juna said again, once in a while the man glanced at Anton.

"I beg.. I'm serious with him, I don't want to lose him." Juna said sincerely while looking at Anton and Alice.

"Darling.." Alice said as she looked at her husband's face.

"Huf.. Looks like you're suspicious, aren't you, I hired him." Said Anton casually while exhaling a long breath.

"I'm serious with him please tell him where." Juna said seriously. At first the man was just guessing and guessing, but after hearing Anton's remarks, the man was more convinced and had to ask Anton for help.

"Honey.. Please help Juna.." Pinta Alice with a face.

"I don't know where she is, honey.. He just sent me an email that he was out to do personal work and would come back if he was done." Anton was honest with Alice and Juna.

"Who would she love if her name wasn't Maya?" Alice asked curiously. Juna is also still faithfully waiting and waiting for an explanation from Anton.

"Hmmm.. Yes, her real name is Laristha, it's inappropriate to explain.. But Maya's condition isn't as simple as it seems. And I'd rather you just find another girl for the good of both of you." Anton again with his serious face.

"Do you think you can manage who you can fall in love with? Could you have left Alice back then, when you knew you and she had a lot of differences and might not have been together. This is how I feel about that woman.. Please explain everything to me so that I can understand him and understand what really happened to him." Pinta Juna with a face that is no less serious.

"Well, if that's what you want.."

"Laristha was a child who lost both parents since Toddler, she lived in town B along with her maternal aunt's sister who was a widow. Everything went well until her aunt remarried a man when the girl was a teenager. They did not know that the man was a drunkard and a gambler. Until one day the girl who stepped on the First High School, she was almost once harassed by her drunk uncle, fortunately at that time her aunt arrived quickly from work and saved her. But the fate of the rescue ends in tragedy, her aunt loses her life while protecting Ristha from her uncle's rampage with a bottle of drink in her hand"

"After the incident his uncle was in prison and Ristha lived a long time and worked odd jobs to fulfill his life. Almost never harassed by the owner of the store where he worked but he was instead blamed by the shop owner's wife for trying to seduce her husband."

"Not until there, only after 3 years his uncle suddenly came out of prison and found that Ristha had turned into a beautiful and graceful girl. His uncle returned home to his late wife and dragged Ristha to a bar and made her pay the gambling and drinking debt in that bar."

"The girl was sold at a high price and she was almost harassed by 8 striped men. His entire outfit was barely left, bruised and bruised all over his body and face. Good thing I got there before they did everything further."

"But unfortunately due to the treatment of men present in his life, he became traumatized against men. She almost tried to commit suicide several times before I finally gave her medication and mental assistance. Her life wasn't easy, she had many wounds on her body even more so inside her mind."

Anton again breathed a rough breath considering all the unfortunate events that befell the woman.

"You know everything, it won't be easy for you or him.. You've known everything if you want to step down I'll never blame you.. If you want to move forward he won't open his heart to you easily." Said Anton again who was now looking directly at the eyes of the man who was sitting on the sofa across from him with teary eyes.

"Kak Maya's pity he has lived a very heavy life to reach up to this.. It's only fitting that when I go on a mission with him he's like a different person when dealing with those old men in the basket, he's like he has his own grudge if I don't stop him that time.." Alice shed tears of joy and sorrow for the life story of the woman who had been protecting her.

"Yes.. Now she had turned into a strong and powerful woman outside, but her heart and mind were still wounded and the wound was gaping and it might have rotted away. It's hard for him to try to start and forget." Anton was still staring at Juna.

Juna walked towards Anton and Alice, the man stopped and stood right in front of Anton and Alice, "I've thought and decided, I've decided, I will treat his injuries by being by his side and accompanying him until the rest of his life. Although maybe she doesn't want a marriage or anything with me, but I'll stay by her side. So please.. Please help me find out where he is right now.." Juna asks Anton for help with his serious face.

"Huf.. All right, 'cause you've been talking so it's impossible I'm not helping you." Said Anton who then pulled his phone out of his pants pocket and typed something in there.

Moments later a message notification appeared from someone on his phone, "I suspect, he was in town B on the coast of K.. I've told you all I know the rest of you find out for yourself.." Anton said and patting Juna on the shoulder gave the man some encouragement.

"Thank you.." Juna answered with gratitude.

"Sister Jun.. Bring him back here.." Alice Pinta.

"certain.. Of course I'll bring him back.." Said Juna and quickly the man ran out of Alice's nursery.But suddenly Juna appeared again behind the door that only raised his head.

"I'm sorry I haven't thanked you guys.. And I hope you're healthy Al.. You're my good brother.. Ohya even if you helped me, if you hurt my sister I still won't forgive you." Juna said to Anton.

"Of course, I'll protect her. Likewise with you, if you make Ristha cry I will make you regret." Anton replied no less seriously.

"Of course it's impossible! I'll make her happy! Bye I went after him first!" Juna said and then disappeared again from behind the door gap.

"I wish they had a good story.." Alice said prayerfully to the two closest people.

"Of course, honey.. They'll be as happy as we will be." Anton said and kissed the temple-friendly Alice.

"Okey my wife, it's time for you to take a break.. It's late and you need a lot of rest." Anton said warmly and Alice agreed to her husband's orders.

Anton lowered the position of the mattress with the remote beside the mattress and then laid his body also beside Alice.

"Nite*My wife..."

"Nite My Husband*.."

Seriate....
