"But stay here again. Mama's not happy talking to you." It was hard for Lina to allow Viona to come home. She had been unable to be with her son for a long time, and when she visited, Viona stayed for a day and now she says she has to go home.
"Some time I'll be here again, Ma." Viona hugged Lina tightly. Neither wants to be far from each other anymore. "Or I'll be here again tomorrow. When my husband works, I play here." Viona glanced at her husband who was just speechless. "Can't you, Chal?"
Marshal smiled and gave a nod. There is no harm if Viona wants to visit her own parents' house. Instead of his wife feeling bored, Marshal also could not accompany him at any time because he was busy with work. Maybe if Viona could freely meet her mother, her wife would not complain anymore if she felt constrained.
After saying goodbye to his mother-in-law, Marshal opened the car door for his wife. Viona came in and thanked me. Not knowing his shame, Marshal instead asked for a reply with a kiss on the cheek. Viona was unwilling to do so because Lina was still paying attention to them. But, her husband kept asking for Viona to warn him with a small pinch on the Marshal's arm.
Not getting what he wanted, Marshal ended up getting into the car. Sit behind the wheel and start the engine.
"All right if I charge the kiss now? Mama's not paying attention to us."
Viona glanced out the glass. Lina has gone back into the house. He glanced again at the Marshal. Her husband was smiling at her. Viona immediately turned her face to the side.
"Just leave, you'll be late for work."
Marshal even sneered. Viona avoided his wishes and instead threw away face. He grunted annoyedly. Just about to step on the gas to immediately run his car, Marshal's phone behind a suit pocket rang. Marshal reached into it and turned off the car engine.
"Who?" Viona glanced at her husband who seemed to be frowning.
"Rul." The marshal receives the call and attaches it near the ear.
Viona watched everything her husband did. Marshal was talking seriously with his assistant. He sometimes frowned, sometimes his eyebrows raised and his head nodded.
"Prepare everything! I'll be home soon." The marshal closed the connection and put his phone back in his pocket.
"What's wrong?"
Marshal turned on the engine he had turned off when he received the call. He glanced at Viona for a moment and started driving forward. "I have to get out of town now. There's a problem with project fund embezzlement. It seems like this problem is very big and they can't handle it until I have to intervene myself."
Viona nodded her head understanding. "Should you go today?"
"Yes, Honey. The problem must be addressed immediately. The amount of funds embezzled is not small, but it is estimated that from seventy-five percent of the project budget they slip into the bag. It is fitting that every expense report from them, all of which makes little sense. I haven't been too focused lately. Be like this."
Viona just looked at her husband for pity. Marshal looks very stressed after receiving a call from Rio, whereas before he was ordinary.
"Means to the doctor not be?"
Marshal. He forgot about it. They were going to the doctor for a consultation. But, if this is the case, then it should be postponed first.
"Later after I get home, we go there."
"Wait for you to come home for a long time. I don't know when you're coming home. I go alone, deh. Now you take me there. After that, you go home to pack."
"Can't, honey. We go to the doctor for a consultation. I must accompany you. Anyway you can't go alone. Must be accompanied by me."
"Wait for you to come home soon, Chal."
"Why indeed? I'm not leaving for long. Once the case is over, I'll be right back."
Viona glanced at Marshal in annoyance. "Yes, no need to go to the doctor. I'll buy the pills at the pharmacy. It's the same, right."
Marshal's slowing down his car. He glanced at Viona sharply. This kind of debate usually continues and ends badly. "We still have to go to the doctor. Consultation should be more appropriate and not create harmful side effects." Marshal returned to focus looking ahead. It was early in the morning and the traffic was very crowded. Many people start their activities by working. "What's the rush? I'm going out of town, you can still breathe, honey. There's no me, you mean still safe."
Viona was silent. That's not what it means. He also knew if Marshal didn't exist, they wouldn't do it. It means no contraception is needed. But, it's different. Marshal won't understand.
"Anyways, I won't let you go to the doctor yourself, or you buy pills from the pharmacy. Wait till I get home, and we'll talk about it again!"
Viona just muttered. Marshal is in a hurry to get out of town. Her husband also had a lot of thoughts. Viona won't start a fire. Afraid that her husband might get upset with her, if she keeps chiming in and ends up with those who argue back.

"How many days are you there?"
"Not yet, dear. The length of time I've been there matches the case when."
Viona prepared a suitcase for her husband. She also did not know how many days her husband was out of town. He only prepared what the Marshal would have needed while there. Viona also did not forget to tuck drugs including vitamins for Marshal. Just in case, afraid if her husband's immunity decreases because it is too busy taking care of work problems.
"I'm here alone again."
Marshal was near the bed, preparing various files that would be needed. He turned to his wife who had just finished closing the suitcase. "There are still a lot of people accompanying you, dear. In this house you will never be alone. I'm just going away for a second. I'll make sure it's not more than two days. I also have a job here to take care of."
"Stay alone." Viona pulled the suitcase near her husband. "They've always kept their distance from me, Chal. I want to treat them as friends, but they don't want to and still feel like I'm their employer."
The workers in the house are many. But, Viona could not be free to chat with them. Because those workers always felt disinclined by him. Viona reminded them to be ordinary. But, they still cannot be relaxed.
"I'll talk to them later. Or would I call Michelle to stay here?"
"Don't, deh! Looks like Michelle is busy preparing for the exam."
Marshal finished with the file he had prepared. He saw that Viona could not bear to leave him. But, Marshal can't take Viona away. If he had taken his wife, he might have. But, Marshal was not sure if later after there he would still pay attention to his wife. Viona must have been unnoticed because Marshal was busy with the problems she was dealing with.
"So, how'd you like?"
Viona blurted her lips funny. He nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'm fine." Usually he's happy if Marshal isn't around. But, for this time, Viona felt unwilling for her husband to leave.
"I promise, I won't be long, honey. If this matter can be mild, maybe tomorrow I will force myself to go home."
Viona simply nodded and confirmed the jacket belonging to her husband. He was still sitting and the Marshal was standing in front of him. "Let's go home with some souvenirs, yeah." His smile was so sweet that Marshal smiled at him.
"I'm going to take care of work, not the streets, honey." Marshal rubbed his wife's face with anxiety. He pinched softly on his wife's cheek making Viona a little annoyed and puffed her cheeks cutely. "Don't be spoiled now! I have to go, honey."
"Who is spoiled?" viona said with a sigh. Her husband laughed lightly and pinched her cheek again in a fit of anxiety.
"If every time I'm gonna go, you're like this, I can't get out of town."
Viona did not chim in and instead stood up. She again allowed her husband's jacket to be fitted neatly. "depart now? It'll be noon if you don't go."
"I'm waiting for Rio. He's still on the road."
Viona nodded in understanding. He sat back down followed by the Marshal who was even attached to him. He took the phone and Viona looked through the contents. There was an incoming message that he had not been able to reply.
"Darling?"
Viona looked to the side. His heart immediately beat. Her husband's face was in plain sight, even their noses were touching as Viona glanced at her husband. Viona hurriedly put her face back. However, Marshal instead pulled his nape and a kiss on the lips he gave to his wife.
His heart's getting worse. Marshal kissed her so gently though demanding. Viona kept the phone on the bed and her hand squeezed the Marshal's arm. She replied to what her husband had done. Not long because Viona's phone rang so loud that they had to stop her.
With a blushing face, Viona took back her phone. He lowered his face, pretending to focus on looking at the phone screen, whereas his chest was still rumbling with disordered breathing. His cheeks were hot, Marshal kept looking at him intensely and instead reached out to wipe his wife's wet lips with the tip of his thumb.
Viona bit the inside of her lower lip. It was the first time she felt that way when she kissed her husband. I don't know what's going on. Viona did not dare to see her husband again. He immediately received a call that kept ringing. Fortunately Aness called him, so his intimacy with the Marshal did not continue.
"Yes, Ness?" Viona stays down. He gently rubbed his lips with his index finger. Her husband's lips still felt. Viona turned her face the other way to avoid the gaze of Marshal who kept on looking at her.
"Mami Frans took part in the party at her house. You want to come, right?"
Viona glanced at her husband awkwardly. Maybe he can get rid of the loneliness by having fun with his friend. "When that?"
"Later afternoon. But, I guess it'll be until night, anyway. How's it?"
"Em ...," Viona glanced again at the Marshal who kept looking at her. Again he was embarrassed when Marshal reached out to tidy his hair back. "later I'll permit you first, deh, Ness."
"OKAY. You should come anyway. I don't want to know, yeah. Ask for a real permit, let's not be banned from leaving the house like a girl."
Viona closes the call after getting sick of hearing her best friend's laughter. She is still a girl, it is appropriate that the Marshal forbid her to go free.
"The chal!" Viona ventured to see her husband. He kept the phone next to him sitting and facing the Marshal.
"What's up, honey? Who just called who?"
Viona grew increasingly nervous at the gentle and affectionate gaze of Marshal. His sweet smile even looked very handsome. "Anness. She took me to Frans' mom's party. Later afternoon. I can go, right?"
Marshal seemed to think. Viona held her husband's hand, with a pleading gaze, she blinked funnyly. "Can, right?"
Marshal chuckled softly. He rubbed Viona's face gently and pinched her wife's nose in a fit of anxiety. "Do you ask permission or force to be allowed?"
Viona grunts as hell. She sneered softly because her husband kept teasing her.
"Can. But, don't go home too late! Let alone me leaving, you must be careful!"
Viona smiled happily. Lately Marshal is good and always obeys his wishes.
After a long silence in the room with a light chat, Viona drove her husband to leave. He smiled warmly at the Marshal who kept saying that he was hard to leave Viona.
"Don't fuck around as long as I'm not around!"
Viona nodded, still smiling at her husband. Marshal kissed his wife's forehead long enough. Then, it moved to the cheek and ended up in his wife's pointed nose. Viona pushed him slowly because the kiss of Marshal did not stop. Though he was already very embarrassed to be seen by Rio who was waiting for his master. Her husband's assistant was seen to smile making Viona want to throw her face with shoes.
"This one hasn't, cup!" Marshal kissed inside his wife's lips and gave a warm hug.
Viona again sneered in annoyance. Her husband is not ashamed. "Here you go, bad luck!"
"Good at home, yeah! If there's anything, call me!"
Viona nodded. She waved at her husband who was already in the car. And the smile that originally expanded, receded for a moment when the car that was driven by her husband was no longer visible. She just remembered, why lately she always blushed if she got sweet treatment from her husband? He is usually just funny.
