Married by Promise

Please believe me

“Rita, push him” said Ari who made the eyes of Mila teary hold sad, her pride felt torn by the words of Ari.

‘what a reply to me for lowering my husband's self-esteem in front of others’

Anjani who heard only silence as if he did not hear it, he did not want to interfere with the affairs of those he just saw.

Rita then looks cynically at Mila after Ari and Anjani leave,

“you've heard yourself, do I have to be rude to fulfill the wishes of the leader of this company to you?” Mila then takes her bag on the table and then leaves Rita without making a sound, and Rita sees Mila leaving with her cynical smile.

Mila ran towards her room without noticing Vanessa who was looking at her with a confused look, ‘Mila why?’

Vanessa immediately walked towards Mila's room, she then knocked on the door and immediately entered Mila's room. There he found Mila crying in her bed, Vanessa took a deep breath looking at her sister-in-law,

‘why does the problem never stop bullying you Mil?, is this a test of your love and Arya?, or indeed you and Arya are not paired?, so these various problems come to separate you’

“dek, any more problems?” Vanessa approached Mila and then gently stroked Mila's shoulder to give her peace,

“I made a mistake again sister, I hurt her again” sad Mila sobbed, the fear of losing it came back, she was so sorry herself, so, he didn't even think about why he was so confident he said yesterday that Arnes was his girlfriend in front of Ari, Abel and Arya, and now all he can do is regret what happened.

“dek, you used to say that you would regret if Arya went from you, now what's wrong with the word brother?”

“brother, I was wrong brother, I sinned against my own husband brother, I don't want to lose him”

“then what about Arnes?” probing Vanessa, she wants to know Mila's assessment of Arnes after what Irman delivered last night. ‘does she still want the man?’

“that's a brother, I can't believe if bang Arnes like that, I should have asked him directly on him”

“Mil, if you can't forget the man, then you better leave Arya Mil, end your relationship soon, maybe it will be much better for you”

Mila looked at Vanessa's face with a face of disbelief in what she heard, she did not expect the sentence would come out of the mouth of Vanessa who had always wanted her with Arya.

“what brother mean?, all this time brother always told me to accept Arya”

“Mil, choose one of them, do not hang Arya again with empty hopes, he gives you a chance because he hopes for your love, but if you continue to give heart to Arnes, all you have is going to keep hurting her” Vanessa said, because now she has the same fears as Arya, mila's fear will not be able to accept the fact that the Aryan company is destroying the company of the Dakarsa family.

“Sister, what sister now also can not understand me, I need a sis time, I need time to forget about bang Arnes and I need time to love Arya”

Vanessa then pulled on Mila's face and looked closely at her two eyes,

“doesn't understand you, but Arya doesn't, Arya just wants you to love her, that's just Mil, if you keep insisting Arya wants to understand you, until whenever you do it will only hurt each other, it's Mil, if you keep insisting Arya wants to understand you, until whenever you do it will only hurt each other, choose now, your brother has shown the dark side of Arnes, and you also already know how Arya”

Mila looked in Vanessa's eyes, she felt the feeling of Vanessa in her heart, the feeling of wanting Arya to stay by their side,

“Mil, choose Arya, grow the trust Arya has lost to you, and join hands to achieve your happiness”

Mila's tears trickled down hearing that, perhaps it was one side of Arya that Mila had never realized, the reason Arya couldn't understand her, was because of Arya's fading trust in her, which Arya had faded towards her, Arya forces herself to stop loving Arnes,

‘what's the reason Arya forced me to choose her or Arnes bang, because she doesn't trust me anymore, she doesn't believe that I can love her, he tested my heart by asking me about my commitment to this marriage and he would only persevere because of that commitment, and if I had no commitment, then he would have left, she said,

“the man holds on to his rationale Mil, not the feeling, if his mind has said no, then his heart also says no, different from us, we hold on to the feeling, you love Arnes with your feelings, you love Arnes with your feelings, and your mind rightly considers all your faults because of those feelings, you defend yourself by saying Arya does not understand your heart, but how can Arya understand your heart if her mind justifies your love for Arnes”

Mila's head shook his head, he really did not understand what had happened to him all this time, his ego because his own feelings made his condition and Arya like this, he said, but he always blames the ego Arya for every decision Arya makes.

“kak, yesterday I made the same mistake as that day, maybe Arya really won't forgive me anymore” Mila took her eyes off Vanessa's eyes, she said, he could not look at Vanessa when he admitted the mistake he had made.

“what did this mean Arya last night Mil?, you have trampled on her honor”

“what are you doing?”

“I say I love bang Arnes in front of him again, and also in front of his friend and Abel” the voice of Mila sounds lethargic with her guilty tone, she is really ashamed of herself.

“that's your answer to the choice that Arya has given, you have chosen Arnes in front of Arya” Nada Vanessa sounds very disappointed in Mila.

Mila shakes her head at Vanessa's voice, she feels she can't accept that Vanessa thinks it's her choice,

“no, I was just carried away by emotions yesterday, but,, what I said really made Arya angry”

“Mil, if Arya says she loves another woman in front of you and your friends would you not be mad at her, whereas she is husband”

Mila is stunned by Vanessa's words, she is wrong, she has to relinquish this time with the situation, she said,

‘Indra, am I wrong if I selfishly want you, my childhood prince whom I always later come’

Day after day passed, Mila lived her day with fear and guilt, her hope Arya would come back again and want to talk to her never materialized, his daily life was just school and when he came home he did not talk much other than just spending time in the room.

It's been 2 weeks since the incident, but Arya never came to see him,

Mila is eager to find Arya into her office, she really wants to see the face of the man she has hurt so many times,

But the intention was not done, he realized that if Rita and Arya's friend, Ari would not accept his presence, but would immediately expel him if he came to the office.

Mila has also tried to contact Tomy, but the chat is not read at all, ‘what has Abel told all the same Tomy?, or Arya herself who told the same story Tomy and forbid Tomy to reply to chatku’

Disappointed always felt Mila, she hoped to speak well with Arya, looking for a way out for their household problems.

But the awaited never came, many times also Arnes asked him to meet. But he always refused, he was reminded by the words of Ari and his brother Irman who said Arnes only wanted his body, which made him afraid to meet face to face with Arnes.

I don't know why he can feel that way, when that sentence he actually doesn't believe at all. But still he was afraid to meet with Arnes, afraid that if Arnes would really be bad for him, and afraid if Arya again caught him meeting with Arnes, then his marriage was completely destroyed.

In addition, he still hopes that in 2 photos of Arya that he still keeps, Arya is Indra, his childhood prince who he always awaits his return.

Mila stared at her cell phone, the clock home from school was coming soon, she then closed her class and walked towards the teacher's room.

Syifa who just walked into the teacher's room immediately headed to Mila's chair to meet her, “Mil, you are busy today?”

“no brother, what's up?”

“mau accompany me?”

“where?” asked Mila with enthusiasm, he would feel very happy if he could take a little walk, all this time he was just at home waiting for Arya's return, he said, perhaps with a moment of walking He can drive away the burden in his heart.

“I want to check with doctor Mil, I'm late to arrive moon”

“really, will I soon have a nephew?” moda Mila on Syifa, the,

“iih, what are you?, I just want to check, how do you know there is a problem” replied Syifa timidly.

“cieeehh, not married husband nih”

“no Mil, if it's positive, I'd like to be reported as my husband's birthday gift”.

Mila smiled bitterly in her heart, she remembered the words of her grandfather who wanted to hold her son immediately, but he instead made her relationship with Arya run towards destruction.
