Promise in Love

Between sane and not

All eyes were on the pair of Laras and Bram as they stood on the flanks of their parents.

Today is not a wedding reception because the age of Baras is not enough but both families agreed to announce that they are as a couple who are already tied to each other

others.

So many congratulations and compliments were given to Laras and Bram until Laras was so tired because he was constantly forced to smile even though deep in his heart he grimaced.

Long enough they stood side by side until Laras bailed to the toilet. Under everyone's temptation, Bram who originally drove Laras was forced to just wait for him outside because it was very unlikely

he accompanied Laras all the way inside.

A sense of relief could not be expressed in words as Laras came out from inside the bathroom cubicle and he saw a woman standing in front of the mirror was doing a touch up.

"It feels great, Heh!"

Laras turned left and right to confirm the reprimand

aimed at him or not but inside the toilet there were only the two of them,

so it is certain that the woman's reprimand was addressed to him.

“Talk to me?” tanyakanya.

“Is there anything else?” taunting the woman.

“I did not see anyone else, but I do not know if you are used to talking to yourself or not. Or do we know each other?”

The woman quickly moved to face Laras making Laras who was washing her hands only glance at her for a moment.

“Know you? Who are you until I get to know you!” said the woman was cynical.

“Then we are the same. I don't know you. Excuse me!”

The barrel turned and intended to exit the toilet as the woman's hand blocked her arm violently.

“Release!” said Laras sharp.

“What if I don't want to? You want to scream so everyone knows? Or, you want to call your fiancee? Just so you know if Bram comes, he won't defend you. You know why? Because he is

mine. We've been together for a long time. He was with you because of his parents' request. No more!”

“You think I care? But if you don't let go of my hand, then I'll make sure you'll regret it,” Laras threatened.

“Oh yes. What can you do?”

“You see the camera there? You won't be able to turn things around like the stories you watch. And what I will do is a form of self-defense,” Laras smiled.

Laras turned his back to the cctv camera as he turned the hand of the woman who was gripping his arm. Without leaving a trace as it happened to his arm, Laras did as he learned

to defend themselves.

“You!”

Laras manages to release his hand and what is seen on camera is the woman in front of him pushing him hard up to Laras who is

trying to find a handle by deliberately reaching for the woman's clothes until there is very fatal damage.

“Badness. I'm not just gonna let you! I

make sure Bram will leave you even before this event is over!”

“Oh yeah? I wanted to know what you could do at that time. What my family and his family would let go of when a

rough woman and no rules about hurting my hand? You're sure Bram will

choose you and do as you say? Don't dream, Mistress!”

The woman's face was so red that it beat the color of her lips.

Maybe if he hadn't been reminded of the cctv camera, he might have

raised his hand towards Baras. But Laras with a smile mocked him

it shows her wrists getting marks from the woman's nails.

“With this alone, I'm sure your life will not be comfortable, Madam!”

“Indeed. To me you're like a dark-age mistress. Can't see where it's supposed to stand and glaze!”

After that, Baras left the woman

after making sure that the woman will not take actions that will threaten her life.

Many questions Laras wanted to ask Bram but as soon as he opened the door, Bram was not there even though he had promised to wait for him.

“Where is he?” ask Laras in heart.

“Why? You think you can see Bram waiting for you? Why don't you think Bram sent me to see you?”

Laras did not want to be affected by the poisonous speech so Laras immediately pulled out his phone and he took a selfie with the woman before he could dodge.

“Remove that photo!”

“Why? Didn't you say Bram would

leave me even before this show is over?”

Unconcerned by the anger of the woman who did not introduce herself at all, Laras left and she saw Bram talking to her

his friends.

“Eh, Say, I'm done. Sorry, I just met my friends. You're not mad, are you?”

“Which way I might be angry. Oh yeah, I met a very interesting woman until I persuaded her to take a photo together. Looky, looky,

beautify?”

Laras deliberately showed the photo to Bram who was with his friends as well as to see if there were any

changes that happen to them all.

However, Laras' desire to see Bram's shocked face was futile. He heard laughter as he usually heard.

“Whose photo are you with, Say?” ask Bram amused.

“Testing. Suddenly I was interested to see it,” Laras replied casually.

The relaxed sound of Laras makes 2 friends Bram laugh makes Laras surprised as well as Bram.

“You really forgot her, Bram? I probably wouldn't remember him if I didn't see the mark on his ear,” said one of his friends Bram.

“You know who he is?”

“Of course I know. You forgot about Halima? She is a woman who always hopes to be your lover.”

“Halima? Why don't I remember him, yeah.”

Bram thought and did not find the answer and preferred to ask Laras the reason he showed the photo.

“Actually means nothing. I'm only interested because he hates me so much,” Laras replied as he showed a wound in his hand.

“Halimah did it? I remind you to stay away from him, Laras. She's a crazy woman and there's been a lot of women who've been victims. Usually he attacks every woman close to Bram.”

“That's close to Bram? But why can't Bram recognize her?”

Laras doesn't care about her being said to be ninyir and she takes advantage of her young age. Laras is sure Bram's friends will judge him

as an action girl who can not think at length before acting.

“What Laras really thinks. Did he accuse me and not believe that I did not know him?” ask Bram in your heart.

“Excuse me, I think we should go,” said Bram with one hand embracing the waist of Laras.

Laras waves at Bram's friend and he just follows where Bram takes him while his eyes see his parents still talking to Bram's family.

“Yank, actually you want to take me where, anyway,” asked Laras when Bram took him into the elevator.

“I want to ask you but I don't want everyone to hear it,” Bram replied calmly.

“If you only ask why you should leave the show? I saw my mom look at me and I'm sure she'll be here soon. You must know that we are not yet a legally valid couple.”

The sound of swearing heard from Bram's mouth made Laras surprised. For as long as he knew Bram, Laras had never heard Bram swearing violently. In the heart of Laras thought whether the words of the woman he said named Halimah are true?
