Sacred Promise
Chapter 64
Lisa stared at the glass containing lemon juice in her hand.
"Where is your relationship?" ask Anita's mother who is none other than Aditya's mother.
"Well mother." she answered still staring at the drink.
Lisa invited Anita's mother to lunch together at the restaurant.
"really?" anita's mother held Lisa's hand. Staring at him fixedly, hoping that his daughter-in-law could be honest.
"Yes ma'am." Lisa smiled with a forced smile.
"I'm sorry dear Adit." There's regret clearly on the woman's face in her 50s.
"I love her mom. I'm not gonna give up." Lisa's heart was convincing. Although he actually can't anymore.
Anita's mother smiled wryly. As a mother, she knew everything about Adit.
They are not as close as Johan and his mother, but Anita's mother has a spy to watch Adit's every move.
Even Anita's mother knew first who Adit loved.
"Patience darling. Believe me the power of love is able to defeat everything." Anita's mother's eyes showed sincerity.
"Thank you mom." Lisa is back to getting strength.
"What did you say to me?" ask Adit when he gets home from work.
That afternoon, Anita's mother asked Adit to join her and Lisa. But Adit refused it outright.
"You ask because you care or just out of curiosity?" Lisa looked at Adit who had loosened his tie.
"When do I care about you?" adit's gaze was sharp.
"Then I don't have to answer your question." Lisa was about to leave the room.
But Adit's hand pulled him rough, and threw him on the bed.
"I've been nice to you Lisa. It's still a good thing I didn't do anything rude to you." Adit overstretched Lisa's body.
"So you want me to appreciate you?" Lisa braced herself against her husband.
"no need. I just want you to answer my question."Adit gripped Lisa's hands tightly.
It hurts, but Lisa can still hold it. This was not comparable to his heartache all along.
"I don't want to answer Adit." Lisa returned Adit's gaze with courage.
He dared to look at me. Inner Adit.
"Don't blame me." Adit pulled Lisa's body and threw it rough until it fell on the floor.
Lisa snarled with the pain all over her body. He gathered up the rest of his courage and stood up. Staring at Adit who was also standing.
"Kill it if you want." Lisa crying.
"I want to, but I'm still sane Lisa." Adit's approaching.
"Tell me what you were talking about this afternoon."
Lisa brushed off Adit's hand that wanted to strangle her.
"You don't need to know Adit."
"You've got the courage with me now?" Adit smiled cynically.
"Yes. I can no longer bear to be treated with Adit. I'm human, I'm your wife. Even an*********does want to be appreciated. You don't have to respect me, just respect my feelings." Lisa's tears are heavy.
"You want me to appreciate you?" Adit laughs.
"Yes. I want to be appreciated as a wife."
"I'll do it if you value me." Adit approached Lisa.
He looked at that beautiful face full of suffering.
Please love me Adit. Lisa's mind is hopeful.
Adit opted out.
His heart was touched to see Lisa who looked disappointed.
He already knows everything. About his match with Lisa is indeed because of the desire Lisa is not his parents.
Business is just an excuse.
In his study, Adit sat thinking about Lisa.
She was sympathetic to Lisa. His mind imagined Nini who had cried during her wedding party.
"Is it possible that Lisa suffered the same thing as Nini?" Adit rubbed his face slowly.
"Or worse?" he slammed the pen in his hand.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh.... I'm sorry Lisa."
"I'm not gonna give up." she fell on the floor.
"Lord, help me convince him. I love her so much." Lisa's voice came from behind the door.
Adit stood glued. Guilt was in his heart. At that moment he wanted to come in and hug his wife. Apologized and wiped the poor woman's tears.
He's holding back. Waiting for the right time to apologize.
"I am a fool. I should have forgotten Nini. And started my life with Lisa, who loved me sincerely." Adit brushed his forehead slowly.
****
With Adit and Lisa.
Johan and Nini are having fun making out.
"What time does it leave?" nini asked as she sat on her husband's lap.
"Hour 10 baby." Johan kissed Nini's hair.
"Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Sepi dong me." Nini's face pouted.
"It's only been a week."
"Old Han. You think a week is fast?"
"Hurry up, if you don't think of me." Johan wrapped both his hands around Nini's waist.
"Hemmmm." answered Nini Ketus.
Nini didn't want her husband to be far away. At least with the presence of Johan beside her, it could help her forget for a moment her problem with Amel.
But, from tomorrow Johan has to go to China for an important meeting.
Dad had to send her to represent their company. Lately the chief director of PT. Prospero is feeling unwell.
The doctor advised him to rest more. Due to age factor.
"You take good care of yourself. Don't forget to drink enough milk and rest." advises Johan at bedtime.
"Yes Han. You take care of yourself too. There are a lot of beautiful girls there." Nini held back her laughter.
"Haha.. What's the point anyway? My wife is no less beautiful." Johan gently stroked Nini's head.
Not long after, Nini was already asleep. Johan still opened his eyes.
Worry filled his heart. Not as usual. When Nini went to her town, Johan was not this scared.
He was just afraid something bad might happen.
God, take care of him. Inner Johan.
He kissed Nini's head that was sunk in his embrace.
"I love you." whispered softly.
****
The feeling of fear grew bigger in Johan's heart. He himself is confused.
Nini was helping the servants tidy up her husband's luggage. Johan leaned against the door and watched his wife move.
"Why?" nini asked in surprise after realizing her husband's behavior.
"I'm just scared. If anything happens to you." Johan approached Nini and sat on the bed. Right next to the suitcase.
"Don't be afraid, baby. There are many servants here who will take care of me." Nini held her husband's cheek.
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen." A waiter came in to bring breakfast.
"Eat first before you go, baby." Nini pulled Johan's hand closer to the table that had been stored food earlier.
Johan. He's not tasteful. But for the sake of his wife, he had to finish that breakfast.
There were still some servants there who were busy cleaning their rooms.
"You go out first." Johan ordered while pointing at the dish he had eaten with Nini earlier.
They're all out. The plate was brought by one of the servants.
Johan approached Nini. Embracing his wife's waist. He was******* discharged of his wife's lips.
In a short time they made love.
After that Johan must prepare himself to go to the land of bamboo curtains.
Nini looks ordinary. Her heart did not want her husband to leave.
Johan waved his hand at Nini as the car took her away from the Hartono family palace.
The feeling of uneasiness without cause again bothered him.
Seriate.......
