The Promise You Make
25. Lost everything

"Where to go? Mama don't lie to me, do you?" bryan asked as he looked at his mother sharply.

Lusi stares and tries to say, "Who lied to you? My mom just walked."

"Walk? Does your mom have money? Right now we're poor, we don't have anything else, how can Mama still walk?"

"Do not get me wrong, Mama still has savings. Instead of Mama stress at home, think of all our chaotic lives so, Mama just choose a walk to calm the mind."

Though unsure of his mother's answer, Bryan tries to keep believing. "I've told Mama before, don't go to Adisti once. Mama still remembers it, right? I don't want this to get any wider, let me handle it myself."

"What can you do? This is all because you want to get married again. Mama told you not to marry again."

"Don't Mama agree that I'm getting married again?"

"It was because you persuaded me to say that you would give Mama a grandchild and finally Mama was tempted too."

Bryan shook his head. Whatever the reason, her mother obviously agreed when she said she wanted to get married. After all, the man also did not expect it to be like this. It was also at the suggestion of Arsylla, somehow the present state of the woman, who initially seduced herself into marrying her cousin and now everything just crumbled.

Bryan did not get anything, even the work was just gone. Somehow they will live their next life. Especially now there is a fetus in the womb of Sahna, which certainly requires a lot of money for the process of childbirth and raising it. Recalling that it caused a headache, he sat on the sofa while massaging his head.

Lusi who saw the state of his son was very broken also tried to approach him and speak from heart to heart. "Bryan, try to talk to Adisti. She's a good woman, she must understand what you're doing now. If you need to divorce Sahna after the child is born. You can raise the baby with Adisti. She wouldn't mind either, let alone the woman not yet pregnant."

"Mama doesn't know who Adisti really is. He would never want to retract the words he had already said. Moreover, for the betrayal we have committed on him, it will not be easy for him. He's a good man, willing to forgive anyone, but he hates traitors so much."

"Keep now how? Are you just going to give up on all this? What about your sister's college? She still needs a lot of money, Mama doesn't want her to quit college. What will the people in the village say?"

"How else, Ma, he'd better stop. I also have no job that can help him to go to college. Never mind now, just when I was with Adisti I never helped Erick pay for college, all that was used was Adisti money. I only use my money for Sahna's needs. Mama and Erick's needs are all from Adisti. Especially now that I don't have a job."

As a parent, of course, Lusi did not accept the accusation. That was the reason why she agreed to Bryan's marriage to Sahna because she didn't want her name to be bad in front of other people. Especially at that time Arsylla also said that will guarantee that, Adisti will never know about this marriage, unless the time comes. Everything will be fine, but look now what happened is not according to plan. Even Arsylla lost it all. The woman who was most insistent wanted the marriage to happen soon.

"What's your plan now? It can't be if you keep going like this? This life is getting more advanced and you also have a wife that you have to live. Especially soon to give birth. My mom needs money for living expenses too. Mama doesn't want to know, Mama's shopping money should be the same as before."

"Can't be so dong, Ma. I just haven't gotten a job, how can I give Mama money? The cost of labor is not cheap either."

"It's your own fault, willingly follow your friend's orders without thinking. If only you did not marry again, surely at this time we can all still enjoy all the treasures of Adisti calmly," said Adisti with annoyance.

"Keep Mama doesn't have grandchildren? I also regret this marriage, after all I need a child. There's no way I've lived alone with Adisti."

Bryan stared blankly at the front, remembering his friendship with his wife. He was very sorry for betraying Adisti. His son has been so good at taking care of him.

"You can adopt a baby. You can pretend to go abroad, later you can tell everyone that it's your child. No one will be suspicious as long as you play pretty and don't divulge the secret to anyone."

"Mama was always like that to everyone else. Rather than being busy thinking of others, it's better to focus on your own feelings." Bryan immediately went from there, he was too lazy to argue with his mother.

"Bryan, Mama's not done talking!" shouted Mama Lusi who was not touched by Bryan at all.

Lusi was upset, but could not do anything. Now he's thinking how to tell Erick about Adisti who's gonna stop sending him money. Surely his son will be disappointed, considering how great the desire of the man to achieve his goals.

She had to send a message to her son. He was too embarrassed to call her because before, Erick had reminded his mother not to play with fire behind his sister-in-law. However, Lusi did not pierce the words of the son at all. Until it finally got like this. Everything has also happened for free also regret everything, there is no point.

Meanwhile, outside the city Erick looked at his mother's message. She had expected this to happen, fortunately since her brother remarried, the man had already anticipated this to happen. Erick is also looking for work so that when Adisti no longer sends money anymore. He can still survive and thank God he still has savings.
