With a lazy step Viona headed for the main door after the house worker said someone wanted to see her. I don't know who's visiting in the morning, even Viona hasn't had a bath and still wears pajamas.
"Sir ...!"
Viona almost fell down when a girl hit her body, then hugged her tightly. He was surprised because the girl who greeted him was his own sister-in-law. She was shocked when she heard Michelle crying in her arms.
Viona sighed deeply. Why is everyone nearby so happy to cry? She could not bear to see others crying and now Michelle was doing her dislike instead.
"Why are you, Chelle? Why come here?"
Michelle won't let go. "Mama from yesterday did not want to eat until fainting Brother thought."
Viona rounded her eyes in shock and instantly released Michelle from her body. "Correct?" Michelle nodded quickly. Wiping tears on his face. "How are mama doing now?"
"Mama still does not want to eat, want to see Brother. Poor mama, Brother. Mom keeps my sister's mind going until she hurts."
The tightness in the chest is getting more excruciating. Why would Viona's decision to end it make everyone suffer? Viona never thought that her decision would cause pain to everyone. Now his parents-in-law is sick and doesn't even want to eat. What should he do now?
"Sister, let's go home! Mama would have eaten if I'd met Brother." Michelle tugged at Viona's hand. The sister-in-law still did not budge looking at Michelle who already looked very anxious. "Come, brother, meet mama!"
"In the meantime, Chelle!" Viona took Michelle's hand out of hers. He was confused, what should he do now? If he follows Michelle's invitation and meets Rahma, then, it is likely that his decision will end with a different result. Viona must have felt even more guilty if she saw her in-laws' bodies weakening.
"Come, Brother! What are you waiting for? Poor mama. Hurry up and meet him!" Michelle pulled Viona back out the door. Viona was stunned because Michelle pulled him away quickly.
"Chelle ...."
"Come, come along! Mama's sick, don't you feel sorry for her?"
"I haven't had a shower yet."
"It's pretty. Not much of a reason."
Viona had to sigh in the face of Michelle's attitude. She remembered her husband. Brother and sister are not much different. Always impose his will on others without understanding if others are forced to follow his will.
Viona reluctantly follows Michelle to her in-laws' house. Boro-boro asks her parents for permission, Viona doesn't even have time to change clothes and Michelle doesn't care. In fact, the faster it pulled him up to the car that delivered Michelle earlier.

"Ma, Brother Viona has come!" michelle shouted as she opened her mother's room.
Viona just followed him. They went inside. The body of Rahma lying on the bed weakly. Viona approached and smiled warmly at her in-laws. There was a sense of guilt that was present again in him seeing Rahma's pale face. Two days Viona was gone from Marshal, but why did Rahma look so sad?
"Mama why?" Viona sat on the edge of the bed. Reach Rahma's hand and rub her slowly. Rahma smiled happily. Wake up and hug Viona.
Her daughter-in-law was quite claustrophobic about receiving her embrace. Viona up to several times sighed with great difficulty. Hugs again, cries again. It's just what he's going through. What's up with everybody? Why do they love to cry while hugging him? Does Viona belong to the person with the hug-able body?
Rahma was examined by a doctor, but did not want to take medicine because she did not want to eat either. He wants to see Viona. Her mother-in-law had too many thoughts because of her son's marriage problems which even reached the end point of separation. Which parent would see their child's marriage fall apart? Although Marshal had a big mistake, but Rahma never expected her son's marriage to end. All mothers also want the best for their children and Rahma always feels Viona is the best for Marshal, so she is not willing if Viona chooses to leave.
"Eat first, yes, Ma!"
With happiness Rahma would take a bribe from her daughter-in-law. Viona was a little relieved that one person she could persuade was not to be sad anymore. At least the guilt he was experiencing was not getting any bigger.
After eating and taking medicine, Viona allowed her mother-in-law to rest. Vishnu and Michelle are gone, go to work and Michelle goes to school, despite bad luck. They put Rahma on Viona. With forced Viona had to stay there, accompany her mother-in-law who already looks better after taking medicine.
Viona sighed tiredly. Raise the blanket over Rahma's sleeping body. Why is his life so complicated? The freedom he hoped for he did not get. What should Viona do now?
He chooses to get out of Rahma's room and go to Marshal's room. He wants to change clothes. There must still be Viona's shirt. Because since he left, he had not had time to bring the items he had stored while staying there.
Slowly she walked towards the door for fear of waking her mother-in-law up. Viona pecked on the spot as she opened the door, she bumped into someone. Viona's eyes rounded sharply as she looked up. He was shocked to see the person he was parting with was now in sight.
"Master?"
Because the person she was piercing was not telling, Viona peered into the room, her in-laws still sleeping. He closed the door quietly and directly pulled the Marshal's hand away from there.
"Where, Ra?"
"We need to talk!"
Marshal just silently followed Viona's steps. Her feelings are very happy. The person she wanted was now back at her parents' house. She was so happy to see Viona again.
They chose to talk in the back garden. There was no one there and Viona wanted to have a serious talk with the Marshal. There were many things he wanted to say to solve all the problems that made him uneasy.
"You want to come back to me, right?" The marshal who was already happy stretched out his arms to hug Viona. However, his wife instead dodged, looking at him sharply. "I want to hug you."
"No. Shutup! We need to talk!"
"Just a second. I want to hug you."
"No, Mister. Arghb ...." Marshal hugged Viona tightly. No matter his wife. She had already missed Viona so much. He does not want to be far from his wife anymore.
"Let go, I'm claustrophobic," cried Viona tried to release Marshal, but her husband still did not want to escape and instead hugged while kissing her. "Master, loose! We need to talk!"
"No. Just one second!" The marshal continued to kiss Viona's face enthusiastically. His wife growled furiously. He wanted to strangle the marshal, but he couldn't. Her hands were restrained in front of her chest, squeezed with her husband's body. He really can't fight.
"Actus ... Sir, let go first! I want to talk seriously."
"All right, I agree. We won't be apart, that's what I'm hoping for." Marshal releases Viona with pleasure. Smiling broadly at the annoyed face of his wife.
Viona grunts. Very upset at the Marshal who always seemed like it. "We're talking seriously, okay!"
"Yes," Marshal rubbed Viona's face full of tenderness. Viona who did not like even brushed her hand violently. Marshal was not angry and even more so, so Viona again growled.
Fists were already floating in the air, Viona wrathfully. Marshal laughed happily. Face to face with Viona's fist.
Viona gritted her teeth furiously. Fists he put down. The intention of hitting the Marshal he put off because now was not the time to beat him up. He should talk to her first.
"Why not hit him? Come on, hit me!" Viona just silently looked at him with a sharp look. The marshal even displayed an increasingly wide smile. Looks really shitty. "You must not have the heart to beat your husband tam-"
Bugh!
The marshal almost toppled over in shock as Viona's fist landed on his jaw. He saw Viona's face that looked annoyed. Marshal could not believe that Viona dared to hit him.
"When have you been so mean, Ra?" Marshal astonished Viona saw. Lately his wife began to dare, not even afraid to torture her own husband. "Is it because you harbor a lot of uncomfortable feelings, so be cruel?"
Viona clucking. Relaxing the right hand that just hit Marshal's jaw. He had no intention of hitting Marshal, but somehow he wanted to stuff the mouth of Marshal who even talked nonsense to him. Viona was also confused, out of nowhere her courage had appeared. Fortunately, Marshal was not angry. He could be a little relieved to see her who was instead smiling while grimacing softly.
"Ah, Ra, I'm so happy. You finally want to come back. I know, you really don't want us to be apart, do you? Hm?"
Viona shone it off. "Who said that? I'm serious about my words, sir."
Marshal even glanced ignorantly. Smiling mysteriously looking at his wife."Then why are you here now? You even stay here. That means you don't want to separate from me, do you?"
Well, it's all because of Michelle. Her husband had misunderstood her now because he saw her still in pajamas. "I had to come, Michelle said mama's sick." Viona is getting sick of seeing Marshal which is even more sparkling. Her husband chuckled without taking his eyes off the now astonished Viona. Marshal kept laughing when there was nothing funny at all. Is Marshal crazy? What's wrong with her?
Looking at her husband in confusion. Viona reached out to touch her forehead, so the laughter of the Marshal stopped instantly. The marshal held Viona's hand on his forehead.
"I'm not crazy, just happy."
Viona's eyebrows shot up even more confused. What makes Marshal happy? Lastly, the sentence that Viona spoke about her ailing mother-in-law. There's no way Marshal's happy about it, right?
"Haha .. You're funny, honey. I'm not crazy, don't look at me like that!" Viona was silent. Much has changed from Marshal, not only his appearance, but also his behavior. "I'm glad you still care about your mom. I know, you wouldn't have the heart to see your sick mama like now, so you'd take me back, would you? I'm so happy. We're not going to separate."
Viona flinched as the Marshal hugged her back. Why did Marshal know how he felt? Viona did not have the heart to see her mother-in-law sick and she also could not see her own parents full of guilt. But, he couldn't just change his decision. It was very difficult for Viona to accept her marriage back. The marriage was not at all wanted. He did not want to have a marriage that was as stifling as what had happened.
"We're never gonna part, are we, Ra?"
"No, sa-"
Marshal tightened his embrace. The more happiness he felt. Finally Viona came back and they could be happy after this.
"We remain separated, sir. I can't have marriage with you anymore."
Divorced the hug with a frowning expression. "Why? Don't you want to start over?"
Viona shook her head firmly. "I'm just here to keep my mom healed, if she's back, then I'll go."
"But, why? Is there no improvement to our marriage?"
Viona nodded back. Enough of the wedding to be here. He was indeed a little shaky, if faced with the cries of parents. But, he also had the right to decide, even though it was difficult to continue. But, he still had to be firm on his stance. After all, his happiness should be his priority now.
"Ra, I beg .. Don't keep going like this! I don't want us to be apart."
Viona silence. Even turning his eyes in the other direction. His mind is raging now, but he still has to hold a decision. He should never have wavered. If a breakup can be done and can make her happy, she will keep it.
"Zahra, Honey?" Marshal held Viona's hands together. Grasping her tightly, but Viona remained unmoved.
Silence greeted the two. They were both speechless, dissolving into a raging inner turmoil. Marshal was almost desperate actually. But, he did not want Viona to part from him.
"One month."
Viona turned back to her husband. The marshal tightened his grip on his wife's hand. "Give me a month to fix everything! I promise I'll be better for you!"
Viona remained silent, not understanding the words of the Marshal. Does Marshal want him to give you a second chance? Viona did not understand, why did her husband even think like that?
"At least hold on for mama's sake! Are you sure your mom will heal as long as you take care of her? If it can heal quickly, but it will last a while. Mama must be back in pain, if you keep picking us apart." Marshal switched to holding both of Viona's shoulders. Staring at Viona inside, so his wife was very hard to turn to. "If in a month's time, I still can't make you comfortable, you can ask me for a divorce. Give me a chance to fix it, Ra. I promise I won't hold you back!"
Viona returned her husband's gaze intensely. Seeing how Marshal's eyes showed his sincerity. There is a seriousness, but Viona still does not believe. He will never believe with words alone. Viona needs evidence, not just a prank that makes her melt.
"I beg .. Give me some time! Just one month, Ra. After that, you are free to do anything. I'm sincere, if we finally split up. At least I've tried to fix it."
Viona was silent to think clearly. Everything should be well thought out. He actually did not want to come back again, but why his heart even hurt when he remembered the cries of his parents who continued to apologize regretfully to him.
"Ra, you want to, right? Just one month. Please give me another chance!"
Inhaled deep breaths. Viona released her hand from the Marshal's grasp. He had found an answer for a clear reason. "Just because of our parents, I did."
Marshal was silent for a moment to guess where Viona's next conversation was headed. He should not be swayed by the words of his wife anymore. Viona always spoke with surprise, Marshal must really understand, so as not to expect too far and finally he was also the one who was injured.
"Okay, I can do it. Just one month, after that we're divorced."
The marshal instantly fiddled with a happy twinkle. Viona wants to go back to him? Did ya?
"Thank you, honey. I promise I'll fix everything! I will not take away your freedom again. You can still be comfortable around me." He hugged Viona back with great joy.
Viona was silent. He is also unsure of his own words. He shouldn't have said that just now, because he didn't want to have a marriage with the Marshal. But, much of which he considered, he was forced to give the Marshal a chance.
"But, on condition ...." Viona pushed her husband's body slowly so as not to hug him again. Honestly, he doesn't like being hugged like that.
Marshal looked at him curiously. His wife always did. Look, now he's holding back the Marshal's happiness again. Marshal must prepare himself. Various sharp sentences will be spoken from his wife's mouth in a moment.
Viona's face looked very serious looking at the Marshal. "From now on, I'm in charge."
"meaning?"
