Promise up!

Real sincerity

"How is Chana doing now?" william asked Arzhan.

"It's improving. Just physical. Not with his soul. Sometimes, he could speak fluently but only with Iksia. But she can be quiet and sometimes cry herself."

"It can be understood."

"Patient, yes. You must miss him a lot, right?"

William smiled.

"I myself can't even get close to Chana. I miss so much when he spoiled and asked to be carried. Now, even to stay inside I have to hide so as not to be seen by him. Pathetic right? He's up to fearing all men including me his own father."

"We may be sad, but that sadness, that pain, is not worth what Chana is going through. I don't think we deserve to complain, do we?"

Arzhan nodded.

"I just miss my little girl."

William's phone rang, a chat came in. From Iksie.

William immediately opened a chat containing chana video. Chana looks much better than before. She talks quite a lot with Iksia although Chana sometimes goes silent like daydreaming.

William's longing was slightly treated when he saw Chana talking even though it was only in the video.

Like that's. Iksia would record Chana as they spoke, then she sent it to Arzhan, Sakya, and William.

"Son, you eat yes. Here Mom makes you fruit salad and milk pie. You like it, don't you?"

"Yes, Mom."

Iksia opened the box she had brought from home. There's fruit salad and pie. Very slowly Iksia fed her daughter. Little by little, Chana asks for her own food.

"Son, you know Sakya?"

Chana.

"It looks like she's going to have a baby soon. You'll get a nephew. There'll be baby voices in our house."

Chana smiled wider.

"You knew? Yesterday while going to work, Daddy stepped on a banana peel. He's up and his ass hurts. Ha ha ha ha's. He walked like a hundred-year-old grandfather."

Chana laughed even though her voice sounded small. It's okay, good change isn't it?

"Darling, you are so lucky that we all love you so much. We love you so much, son. Including Ms. Sari. He often sees you here. He was so considerate that the director of this hospital was wired to take good care of you."

Chana's smile faded a little. The hand that was holding the pie was lowered. Seeing her son's attitude, Iksia was worried that Chana would be angry again.

"Mom."

"Yes, honey."

"What about William? Is he still watching me? Is he ...."

"of course. He's waiting for you every night here. He would sit on a chair just for you. Keep you outside."

"Just have him go and leave me, Mom. I no longer deserve him. I'm ashamed, Mom."

Iksia could only silently hear her son's request.

"Mom, I'm dirty. My body, my soul, and everything was destroyed. I couldn't meet him. It feels .. I'm disgusted at myself." Chana started crying.

"Darling ....." Iksia immediately hugged her son tightly.

Chana, he's not crazy. He was shocked and traumatized by what he was going through. It took him a long time to accept the truth. Chana still often cries herself.

A week later, Chana was able to go home. However, he still gives distance to Arzhan and Sakya. Chana is reluctant to meet William in person.

At home, all servants, chauffeurs and bodyguards are prohibited from meeting Chana in person. If necessary, they are asked to cover their faces with a mask and wear a headscarf to make Chana feel comfortable.

It took a long adjustment for Chana to be able to adapt at home by herself. He was still afraid to leave his room. Chana also often feels shocked so often she falls when suddenly meets other people even in the house.

Slowly but surely, Chana has returned to life even though she is now hit by a panic attack. Sudden shortness of breath when being with a crowd. Although the number of Chana can still be counted with the fingers.

While eating, Chana's table is filled only by her and Ikisa, while Arzhan and Sakya sit separately. It's okay, all they do with pleasure for that long for Chana's good.

In every opportunity to talk or one room with Chana, Sakya always make a video call with William so that the man can see his lover even though it is limited to video calls. That's enough. Chana smiling is happiness for her.

One week, two weeks to become a month. Chana's change has started to increase. He wants to get close to Sakya and Arzhan, but does not make physical contact if Chana does not start. That will make his panic attack relapse.

Chana started talking and talking to her family. Yeah, just a nuclear family. No one else included Tata.

This afternoon Chana asks Sakya to buy fresh fruits. Chana said her mouth felt bitter.

"It." William bought various types of fruit that he found.

"This much?" ask Sakya.

"We don't know what Chana wants, do we? If you can give it your all, why not?"

Between happy and sad Sakya receives fruits from William to Chana. He was happy because William was still so loyal to his sister, but he also felt the pain of William's heart.

"Slowly I will make him accept you again. After all, Chana should be aware and know about your feelings."

"I really know how he felt before this happened. That's enough. Ok, I'll walk first. Make sure he eats fruit and is happy."

"Surely."

William leaves in his car while Sakya is still staring at the fruits that William was carrying. That much.

After work, Sakya calls William back and tells him that Chana wants the pudding today. Predictably, various types of pudding William prepared for his lover.

The next days are the same. Chana asks Sakya to buy spicy food, and William is the one who provides it.

The next day Chana asks Sakya to buy a pempek. Again, William bought the most expensive prospect in his city.

So next. Every thing Chana wants is always William who provides. Is it because Sakya is incapable? Of course it wasn't. Sakya just wants William to feel happy because he is still contributing to Chana's life. With prayer and hope that Chana can feel the sincerity of William.

"Sister, I want a dessert in town dong. Bring it, yeah."

"okay."

Not long after, what Chana wanted came. Chana's favorite desert for a long time.

"I've guessed that Sakya's been lying all this time" she whispered.

"Why, Son?" tanya Iksia who just came saw her son was sad.

"Mom, is there someone else outside?"

Iksia looked outside with a confused face.

"Out the gate, Mom."

"Who, huh? Mom doesn't know, anyway. Why indeed? Well, this is your favorite dessert, right? Who's buying it?"

"Sakya the message said, Mom."

"Well, they can order online, right? You know mom can't."

"That means Sakya is lying. Someone else bought this."

Hearing Chana's words, Iksia recalled something.

"Why, do you know anything?"

"No, I'm just suspicious of someone."

"Is there a car ahead?"

"Car? Emmm, I saw a Rubicon. But Mom thought it was the next neighbor's car that ...."

Not yet Iksia continued her words, Chana had already run away leaving him. Worried, Iksia ran as well. She's afraid Chana's gone far out of nowhere. Even Iksia asked her bodyguard to come from behind. Keeping a distance from the important Chana is still visible to the eye.

Bodyguards are in full black suits, but their heads wear hijabs and mouth masks to keep Chana from seeing them as men.
