Not the Ideal Husband

The promise of Damar

Iris pensively moments after Damar's departure.

The two options that Damar gave him were indeed quite confusing, on the one hand he really wanted to stay at his parents' house but on the other hand he also wanted Damar to come with him.

Everything would have been easy if Damar had agreed to go with him and stay back at the Bagaskara family home,however, Damar did not want to and instead gave him the option to go home with the risk of losing Damar or stay with the risk of his possibility of being expelled again.

"How is this?" Iris bit her fingernails restlessly.

Time kept turning and Iris inevitably had to decide before Damar would make a decision that might make him regret for life.

"Ah, thatsit. Just go in first, I have to talk to Damar and make a little offer with him."

Iris finally followed her down from the car after being content at war with her own inner self.

"Tok..,tok..,tock.." The half-opened door leaf came back Iris knock as a sign that she would go inside.

Without waiting for instructions from Damar, Iris kept walking in until finally the footsteps of the girl brought him to the front door of the room Damar who looked closed but not tight.

"Damar, can I come in?" Asked Iris in a slow tone.

Long time no answer, until when the hand Iris intend to push the door leaf. Damar suddenly appeared before him with one eyebrow raised.

"Have you made a decision?" Ask the guy to the point.

Iris gulped her saliva harshly for some only a dullness that was deliberately left created between them.

"Huh, Iris. You know that I.."

Iris closed her eyes with tightly clenched hands.

"Huh.."

"Well, I'm willing to come back here." The girl replied shortly before Damar finished his sentence.

Damar. "You mean?"

Iris took a slow breath while relaxing her facial and hand muscles that had been tense.

"I'm willing to stay back here. But can you promise me one thing?" Iris asked in a cautious tone especially at the end of her sentence.

Damar did not immediately answer, but observed first the movements of Iris. After making sure the girl's behavior was normal not suspicious, Damar also said again.

"All right, what do you want?"

Iris smiled for the first time after a few hours, especially after returning from the hospital.

Soon the girl pulled up Damar's hand and linked their two little fingers.

"Promise that you won't throw me out and scold me before you listen to my explanation."

Damar scrunched his forehead. Iris's words just now were neither a request nor a statement, but the emphasis on Damar's reckless attitude yesterday and their two hands were currently linked. So did Artimya Damar not have the decision to refuse?

"Do I have to obey what you say?" Ask Damar.

Iris nodded.

Damar removed his pinkie link from Iris' pinkie then looked at Iris bullyingly.

"What if you really betray me?"

"You may ask me to leave, but not to throw me out like yesterday. Can't you?"

Damar seemed to think for a moment fondling Iris' speech.

After a while he nodded.

"All right, I agree to your terms."

Damar's words made Iris smile with relief.

But Iris' relieved smile slowly turned into a frown of confusion as her net caught Damar's still intimidating gaze, following the man's words enough to make Iris nervous again.

"Now it's your turn, explain to me what happened after your ex-fiancee's arrival??"
