Break a Promise

"Bye. Aleysa. Aleysa," her Grandmother shouted.

Not long after that Aleysa came over to her Grandmother.

"Yes, Grandma. What's wrong with Grandma shouting for Aleysa?"

"Today, let's go to the salon. Take Catline too."

"Going to the salon? What kind of event do you want, Grandma? Why is this also why the house is decorated like this?"

"Yes. Grandma did this all for your and Hans wedding on purpose. You and Hans's wedding hasn't been held yet. So Grandma mixes up the event tonight."

"Hmmm, I guess you don't have to, Grandma. You don't have to go overboard like this. Besides, Hans doesn't necessarily agree with all of this. What if Hans gets angry, Grandma?"

"I won't. Grandma makes sure Hans won't be angry with anyone, let alone you. Now, you and Catline are ready. We're going to the salon this afternoon."

"I.... Yes, Grandma."

It turned out that Hans's Grandmother's wish again could not be contested anymore. Aleysa could only do what his Grandmother Hans did this time. Aleysa and Catline were getting ready to go to the salon with Hans's Grandmother this afternoon.

"Grandma is very kind to me and Catline. She cares so much for both of us. But right now I'm also afraid that Hans is angry with me because I agree with all of Grandma's ideas. Hans can actually open his heart to me after this event," Aleysa thought in her heart.

After that, Aleysa called Catline to get ready to go to the salon this afternoon.

"Catline..... Dear....."

Office hours just finished. But Emily had already come to Hans study. Why would Emily come to Hans study if not to tease Hans. Moreover, this afternoon Hans had promised Emily that the two of them would have a romantic dinner together outside. Emily would definitely cry over it by now.

"Good afternoon dear," said Emily.

"Oh, surely Emily wants to ask about the dinner I promised her. But Grandma told me to come home early. What should I do?" Hans thought in his heart.

"Honey. What are you doing? Why are you silent? Are you sick?"

"No honey. I'm not sick."

"Thank goodness for that. I'm really worried about you. Oh yeah, tonight we will have a romantic dinner together, right? Now we're getting ready to find a place, right?"

Hans was silent. He didn't answer Emily's question. It made Emily suspicious of Hans attitude towards her this time.

"Honey. Why are you silent like that? Don't tell me you want to break your promise, honey."

"Baby, honey, listen to me first honey."

Hans tried to explain everything to Emily. Hans held Emily's hand very gently and lovingly.

"Before that I'm really sorry I love you. Not that I want to break my promise to you, but Grandma told me to hurry home. So I have to go home right now."

Emily immediately let go of Hans's hand just like that with a face full of disappointment.

"I'm really disappointed in you. You have the heart to break your own promise to me just like that. Why do you have to promise if you end up breaking it."

"I don't intend to break my promise to you dear. But what can I do? You know what kind of Grandma I am, right? I can't argue with my Grandma, honey."

"It's up to you. I'm disappointed in you."

Then after that Emily immediately left Hans just like that. Emily was furious with Hans just because tonight she couldn't have dinner with Hans. If only Emily was Aleysa, surely Aleysa would understand Hans condition very well and wouldn't just be angry with Hans.

"Aaaa.... All this because of Aleysa. Because of Aleysa, Emily and I have messed up like this," Hans shouted, hitting his own desk.

But Hans couldn't do anything to Emily this time either. Hans had to go home anyway. Because it was all the wishes of his Grandmother directly.

Emily went straight back to her Apartment. Emily even forgot that her child was currently being treated at the Hospital. Suddenly her daughter and the man who was close to her daughter were already inside Emily's Apartment.

"Maira. Have you come home from the hospital, dear?" Emily asked.

Maira was silent. Maira instead asked to be carried by the man named Ershad.

"Daddy Ershad. Carry me into the room, please," Maira asked.

"Yes dear. Come here, Daddy, carry you to the room."

Finally Maira and Ershad went into the room leaving Emily alone in the front room of her Apartment.

"Maira, what's wrong? Why does it seem like she doesn't want to meet me? It's very strange," Emily thought in her heart.

After escorting Maira into the room, Ershad came back out to meet Emily there.

"Emily, I want to talk to you," said Ershad.

"What else do you want to talk about?"

"What are you like? What kind of Mother are you? Where were you when Maira was in the hospital? Did you ever visit her there? Never did you. Even when Maira had to go home, you couldn't pick her up there. Oh, I know. You're busy with your boyfriend over there right?"

"What are you doing. Don't be careless when you talk. I work. What do I work for? I work for Maira too. For food, school, snacks. You can only talk. But you can't pay for it live Maira and me?"

Emily's words sounded very harsh to Ershad's ears. Ershad also did not expect if Emily could speak like that to Ershad.

"Have you finished the lecture? You'd better leave now from my apartment right now. I want to rest."

Emily even kicked Ershad out of her Apartment very rudely. Ershad, who was already disappointed with Emily, immediately left Emily and Maira.

Behind the door of Emily's Apartment, Ershad was still standing in front of her. Ershad still couldn't understand Emily's attitude towards him at this time.

"Emily. Why does she always think I'm low in her eyes. I'm worthless, nothing in her eyes. I have to teach this man named Hans a lesson so he doesn't get close to anyone Emily. This is not only for myself. But also for Maira. Because if Emily is with that man, she can forget her own biological child. She has the heart to just abandon her," said Ershad in his heart.
