Promise
A promise is a debt for most people to describe, usually if people have promised, they will always keep it. But, what if the promise is broken?

Time goes so fast, until now it has changed the day to Sunday. Yesterday afternoon, Belvina had an appointment with Gifer who would wait for her at a tourist spot called Celosia flower garden. This time, Belvina was not alone, but together with Anggi, her best friend. It would be a pity if the friend just stayed in the hotel room and did not enjoy her vacation while in the city of Kendal. Because their purpose to Kendal was a vacation. Gifer only asked that they meet there around 09. 30, whereas now it was already 08. 30 where Belvina and Anggi were already getting ready for each other, wearing long-sleeved blouse and jeans. Don’t forget a small sling bag to carry just their cell phones and wallets.
“How do I look, what’s missing, Gi?” Asked Belvina which made Anggi turn to her.
“It’s okay. There’s nothing missing. You’re beautiful so anything you wear looks appropriate, whereas me? I don’t feel appropriate,” Anggi, who was standing in front of the hotel glass, wiggled her body.
“You are also beautiful, there is no woman who is not beautiful in this world,” Belvina praised with a smile. Anggi also replied to Belvina with a smile.
“Aaa, thank you so much, you are indeed my best friend, Belvina,” Anggi spread her arms, signaling for a hug and Belvina returned the hug.
“Haha, we’re best friends, Gi.”
“Let’s go, Gifer might be waiting,”
“Well, didn’t you call Gifer first before the appointment?”
“I didn’t ask him yesterday, but I know he promised to invite us to meet at Celosia. Let’s try to go there first, who knows if he’s already there.”
“What if he breaks his promise and isn’t there?” Anggi asked.
“No problem, we’ll still go in and see what’s in the flower garden,” Diya replied casually.
“Alright, let’s go.” They both started their journey to their destination.

Haris had just left his apartment to buy some necessities and cooking ingredients to survive in the future at a convenience store near his apartment. Even though today was without Gifer, he still did his activities as usual, after all Gifer would also return to the apartment tomorrow, he thought.
But while walking, Taehyung’s eyes were distracted by a store that had just launched today, because people were very crowded to crowd the store, Haris’s curiosity was thrashing to see immediately, what exactly did the store sell so that people came endlessly, even though the shop owner did not promote what he was selling at all?
Full of many questions in Haris’ mind at the moment, rather than getting more curious, Haris’ feet finally stepped into the shop and looked at it. To his surprise, Haris saw that it was Raya who had opened a new store in front of the supermarket close to his apartment. He saw Raya who was cutting the ribbon of the inauguration of the shop she had just opened together with her lover Indra.
‘Wow, if Gifer finds out, it could be a long problem. Gifer won’t be able to forget Raya because she’ll see Raya and her boyfriend every day. Surely her jealousy will increase if she finds out Raya opened this shop with her new lover.’ Haris said to himself.
“Come on Raya! One, two, three!!!” The ribbon was cut and people started applauding the opening of Raya’s new shop.
“With this, Raya-Indra’s snack shop is officially opened!” Shouted a middle-aged man in a formal office suit who looked happy, as well as Raya and Indra who were smiling broadly because they could both open snack shops on the side of the road.
Haris’ heart burned even hotter at the moment when Indra kissed Raya on the forehead as a sign of gratitude that he finally wanted to open a business together with his girlfriend. With the sun getting hotter and his mood burning, Haris wanted to leave immediately. Along the way he grumbled while playing with his own thoughts.
“Gee, how shameless can that girl be, didn’t she take all the rights of Gifer’s company to make it her own? Why did she also open a shop when she already has her own company? You greedy bastard!” Haris annoyed while kicking the soda can trash in front of him.
Teng!
Tak!
It accidentally hit the head of a middle-aged man who was sitting on the side of the road in a long T-shirt and jeans.
“Wow, I’m going to get into trouble, I hit someone’s head again.” Seeing that, Haris panicked tremendously.
Shortly after that, the person was angry and cursing while glancing at Haris who was still walking guiltlessly and pretending not to know.
“You’re looking for trouble.”
“Stop! You’re the one who threw this trash can? Confess!” With his fierce face, the man yelled at Haris. Haris scratched the back of his neck without itching while displaying his boxy smile that was printed on his lips.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to,”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Not on purpose, not on purpose. You’re dead!” Just as the man was preparing to throw a fist, Haris had already run away and immediately entered the apartment elevator that had opened before he could press it. With his breath catching, Haris inside the elevator was still neutralizing his ragged breathing.
“Hah… hah… hah… Promise I won’t do that again, aishh, because I was upset with Raya so I almost got into trouble, bad luck indeed. I have to contact Gifer so that he realizes and must be able to move on from Raya. In the past, when she was dating Gifer, she wasn’t that intimate, even skinship didn’t want to happen, there were so many reasons, but now what? How could she want to be kissed by her new boyfriend. Now I just believe that Raya doesn’t really love Gifer.” Haris talked to himself until the elevator opened right on the 14th floor, he immediately got out of there and opened the door of his apartment.

Celosia was very crowded with visitors on a holiday like this, Gifer was already standing at the entrance of the tourist spot, waiting for someone who he promised would come soon with his best friend.
“Gif, what’s a good sightseeing spot besides the beach? In Kendal there are mostly beaches, I’m bored,”
“Celosia, maybe. It’s good, besides the place which is indeed a park, there are also several houses for photo spots, want to go there?”
“Seems interesting, well tomorrow are you busy or not? Can you take me there?”
“No, I haven’t had anything to do since I couldn’t see, my parents told me to stay at home. Haha… you’re talking. Alright, what time tomorrow?”
“Around 9:30, is that okay? Perhaps you haven’t woken up yet?”
“You talk so well, alright, tomorrow I’ll come earlier than 9:30.”
Not waiting long, Gifer’s wait was not in vain, the voice of a girl he recognized from the left was heard loudly calling his name.
“Gifer!”
Gifer turned his head to the left, his smile floating until the corners of his lips were pulled back knowing that the girl he was waiting for did not break her promise. Neither did he break the promise of coming first to meet Belvina.
