Married by Promise

Chickenpox

“assalamaicum bi”

“walaikumussalam Arya, you're healthy nak”

“healthy bi, aunt and uncle how? healthy-healthy peddle?”

“iya, we are in good health”

“tumben aunt nelfon, is there a problem?”

“Tomy says you're married, right son?”

Deg, Arya's heart is beating fast, she doesn't think Tomy will tell her marriage to their parents. Suddenly a feeling of guilt appeared in his heart,

“Hallo, Arya, eeh, it still connects?” said the voice across the phone that was confused because Arya did not sound at all.

“I, I, yes bi, sorry bi, Arya has not told you the same news aunty”

“what's up, son,? is everything okay?, koq you married not telling me at all?”

“ma, sorry bi, Arya actually wants to go home with Arya's wife directly to see aunt and uncle, but have not found the right time to go home bi”

“eeh, you are, if you want to get married can tell you first, aunty is very keen to see your marriage”

a single tear escaped from Arya's eye patch, her eyes already glazed over, a deep sense of guilt enveloping her feelings.

'i'm a person who doesn't know thank you at all’.

“maaf bi, forgive Arya bi” a tear drop back from Arya's eyes, her guilt really made her feelings shattered back then.

“Tomy this week want a proposal he said, aunts and uncles can not come son, so later you and your wife friend Tomy ya make our vicein”

When the phone was closed, Arya looked at her phone with a deep feeling of guilt, she cried sobbing, she did not want to make the most meritorious person in her life was disappointed, she said, but now he has disappointed them.

The wallpaper of his phone that installed photos of his parents was even wet by his tears. ‘maaf bi, uncle, Arya wrong, Arya salah” regretted.

When he was staring at the photo of two people he loved very much, a chat notification came in and he immediately opened it.

‘me again way to Jakarta, tonight I want to go to your house, there is important’ Tomy,

Mila had just finished praying Isya, he then went out of the room to fetch water in the kitchen, he had just exited the room, he saw the front door open, usually the door is always locked, usually the door is always locked, because everyone in and out of the house usually through the side porch door that is connected directly to the dining table.

Mila then walked towards the door and from behind the window she could see there were 2 men standing on the front porch, he then approached the door to see who the two were, and their conversation was heard by him.

“you told our parents about my marriage without my knowledge Tom, you are the same I”

“I've given you a week to tell them, in fact you just keep quiet, say nothing to them, I think you're not ready, but it's been 3 months,, keep quiet, yes already, I'm talking”

“you know my position, it's hard for me Tom, me, I've let them down Tom, they should know from me straight away, not you Tom”

“that you know if you are wrong Rya, then why don't you talk to them, ask for blessing not, suddenly married, you consider them as parents not sih”

“everything is too fast, Tom, you already know everything, you understand my position now,”

“I understand Rya, but I as a child, also do not want my parents you treat like this”

“what should I do Tom, ask for blessing?, I just can't choose, you know for yourself I don't want this wedding, and we've been planning to Semeru that day so that I don't marry him, you know I don't want this wedding, and we've been planning to Semeru that day, now you tell me to tell them, I want to tell you what?, do I have to tell them that I'm just considered trash in this house, do I have to tell them that my own wife has usurped my rights as her husband, should I tell them that I am suffering with this marriage” Arya's voice sounded trembling saying it all.

Tomy took a deep breath hearing Arya's words, she finally knew what Arya had been hiding behind her marriage.

“iya, you have to tell me everything, if you think we are family, then you have to tell me everything, what is wrong if you share your problems with your own family?, and you have to share your problems with your own family?, you know not how disappointed your father and mother when they heard you were married, but they really want to accompany you when married,”

'o Allah, I have truly sinned against my own husband, I have even made my husband hide this marriage from his own parents'

Mila feels victimized by this marriage, but the real victim is Arya. He also felt too selfish for forcing his feelings on Arnes.

Though the one who sacrificed feelings was not only him, Arya too, even Arya had to endure a deep guilt for disappointing her dear parents.

Mila then left them without listening to the continuation of the chat.

His heart was already in a rage, his eyes were teary ‘ I was selfish, I even felt a victim of this all, whereas he who had borne a lot of burden, I had become an ungodly wife, I was a wife, I robbed my own husband of rights, even I was more sincerely touched by the Arnes bang who was not my mahrom than my own husband’

Arya is busy with her laptop, she is so focused on designing a city park design that will be submitted to the provincial Office. In the midst of busyness, came Ari who as usual was smoking her cigarette.

Ari entered without knocking on the door at all, he then headed to the sofa and sat there, Arya who saw the arrival of Ari can only snort annoyed at the arrival of his best friend.

“sibuk lo?” ari asked who Arya had not answered,

“focus amat” continued Ari annoyed.

“lo not to the field to monitor our project?”

“no, tomorrow only, I just took care of the important problem”

“important issue? sok great lo” ledek Arya on Ari.

“gue must be sure we win in the Bian corp contest it”

“gue wants to win by fear, not by playing dark-eight” Arya annoyed Ari.

“Lo so businessman do not be too innocent Arya, if you want to be successful, you must have cunning sense to win”

“main honestly, if you have sustenance will not go where” replied Arya who was getting upset with the sentence Ari.

“ini nih, you know Cipta Rakarsa has started to move, Bian corp project. it is important for them and also for us. if we win, Bian corp, that will be our jumping stone for the next step”

“they why?”

“their director secretary went directly to London for project negotiation in Kalimantan, if we are off guard, then we will lose by their rotten way”

“itukan contest, where can be negotiated the result”

“makanya nyo not too plain, just earlier I said, but instead you act plain”

“iya sorry.emang what can be negotiated in the middle of the competition?” arya's tone began to soften on Ari,

“the director's secretary brought some paid women there, already imagine you use what way there”

Arya who had been focusing on her laptop now glanced at Ari's eyes to find honesty from the words of her best friend. He did not believe that Irman would use such a dirty way to win the competition. But Arya did not find a lie in Ari's eyes.

“lo not Ri?”

“no, I have sent my people to check on them, and I have also sent my people to investigate their director and their family, as well as their relationship with Adinata group”

“adinata group? what does this have to do with adinata group?”

“heir adinata group who is now leading one of the adinata group subsidiaries has met several times with the director of Cipta Rakarsa, I suspect, I, maybe they already have deals to give fresh funds to a company that almost broke it”

Arya initially wanted to destroy Cipta Rakarsa, but after knowing that the company belonged to the Mila family, his intention was to undo it, but after hearing Ari's words just now he began to feel sultry with Irman's dirty tricks, he also felt sultry when the name Adinata group was mentioned by Ari.
