Because of the compulsion

Persuading the Sick Marshal

"Shhh.. ergh ...."

Viona wriggled from her sleep hearing a ringing sound, sometimes a groan. He looked to the side because there was a movement that felt very disturbing to him. As she looked at the Marshal who was flipping around uncomfortably while grimacing, Viona immediately opened her eyes wide. He cursed himself. Maybe he was even washed to sleep, after the Marshal had forced him. He just wanted to pretend, but he was being lazy.

"Chal?" Viona wakes up, touches her husband's face. Marshal's forehead frowned in pain. His body also felt hotter. Hotter than it was. "We're going to the hospital, okay?"

The marshal shook his head weakly and turned around. His forehead and temples were sweating. His face also looks pale. Viona was getting anxious to see how she was like this. Viona quickly grabbed her phone on the nightstand. He called the doctor he knew to get to Marshal's house. No matter her husband forbids, Viona is only worried about her.

"Darling ...." Marshal turned around, he groaned again. Viona is confused as to how. He could not bear to see her in pain.

"We go to the hospital, yes. You're getting worse with the fever."

Marshal refused again. Viona could only sigh. He got out of bed to get a thermometer. After finding it in a special place of health equipment, Viona used it on the Marshal's body. He slipped it in the Marshal's armpit and waited for a while.

"Yes, God, Chal!" Viona was surprised to see her husband's body temperature reaching 38.8℃. "Udah, we go to the hospital, yes. It's so hot, you know. You should get checked out immediately."

The marshal held Viona's hand that was just about to move. "Wait for the doctor" said Marshal weakly.

"Sir, Chal. The doctor must be a long time. We're going to the hospital now. Let me tell Rio to get his car, yeah." The marshal held him back again, and shook his head violently. He doesn't want to. But, Viona was already very anxious about her circumstances. Marshal should be inspected immediately and handled well. "Don't keep pushing! We're going to the hospital!"

"No need, dear. Wait for the doctor."

Should Viona give up in an emergency like this? She was already very worried about the state of Marshal, but her husband still did not want to.

"Yes, I've, bud, I'll take the compress first, yeah. Waiting for the doctor." Again Viona did not move. The marshal held her back and asked Viona to stay by her side. "Let's not get too hot, Chal. I'm compress."

The marshal instead shifted his body closer to Viona. He hugged Viona's body tightly, made a face in his wife's stomach and made Viona's thigh a head brace. Seeing Narshal who was even like that, Viona could only resign. Slowly full of worry, Viona rubbed the Marshal's head. Her body temperature was extremely hot, it should be taken to the hospital right now. But, Marshal continued to refuse, Viona can only wait for a doctor who feels very long coming.

"Darling ...." The marshal grimaced softly, his hands coiling around Viona's stomach limply.

"Why?" Viona couldn't bear to see it. "What's sick?" Slowly rubbing his head. Viona massaged her husband's forehead. Tidying up hair due to cold sweat. Her husband said her head hurt a lot. Feels like a prick. "We went to the doctor, yes. Let you not get sick like this." Marshal still does not want to.

Long wait, finally the doctor came. Viona wants to move on, let the doctor check on her husband. But, Marshal doesn't want Viona to be away from him. Be that he remain beside the Marshal, accompanying him who is being painstakingly examined by the male doctor he just called.

Whatever the doctor said, Viona always listened well. The doctor said, Marshal is too tired and has a lot of thoughts. He also lacked rest and his deteriorating diet made his condition what it is now.

"This is the recipe, it can be redeemed at the pharmacy." The doctor gave Viona a piece of paper after she finished examining Marshal. "From now on, you must keep your diet well and regularly. I also recommend that you do not be too stressed and rest a lot!"

"Yes, doctor. I will look at it better. Thank you for checking on my husband." Viona, who said that Marshal had buried her face in the waist of his wife, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, spoke to the doctor. After being examined by a doctor, Marshal again gripped Viona's body while lying on his side.

"If so, excuse me, Madam, sir." The doctor smiled kindly before he said goodbye.

Viona called Rio to deliver the doctor and also gave her prescription medicine to Rio. "You did the cure, yeah."

"Attent, yeah. Rio take the medicine first." Viona rubbed the Marshal's head which was still hot.

Since then, Marshal did not want to be far from him at all. He only broke away from Viona the moment the doctor examined her. After the doctor finished with his examination, he again hugged his wife tightly, very reluctant to be distant. Marshal is like a child who needs protection from his mother if he is sick. Very spoiled. Viona could only be anxious to see it. Marshal does not look powerful if it is like now, but looks very weak and frail, need full attention.

"Eat, Chal! This Abis you should take medicine. Eat a little, yes," persuaded Viona, again, while thrusting a spoonful of porridge in front of her husband's mouth.

Marshal only wanted to eat one bribe, he complained because it was bitter on his tongue.

"Chal, you have to eat a lot. Let it be healthy quickly. Eat again, yes!" Viona was already like persuading a sulking little boy. Attentively, she accompanied her ailing husband. He couldn't get even a little away from the marshal. Even to go to the bathroom, Marshal had reminded him to just leave for a while.

Rio entered the room with a white plastic containing medicine for his employer. "This is the cure, ma'am." He kept the parcel on a table that had been prepared to store the needs and food of the Marshal.

"Thank you, yeah, Rio."

The Marshal's assistant nodded and returned out of the room. He bids her to take care of the matters beyond what Viona had told her. Indeed the order was unbeknownst to Marshal, but Rio also executed it for the good of his own master.

"Come, eat again! Keep taking the medicine, yeah!" Viona again thrust the full spoon into the front of her husband's mouth.

Marshal pursed his lips tightly. He won't eat anymore. It doesn't taste good. But Viona kept forcing him.

"Come, honey, eat!"

The pale face that had always refused a bribe, was now sparkling. A smile rose on his lips that looked pias. Viona's words were very soft, like the melody in her ears. Moreover, the new call that Marshal really likes. It feels like winning a real estate tender. It feels so happy.

"Eat again, yes!"

Marshal was silent. He nodded back with his face. Viona's persuasion is sweet. But, the taste of the porridge will not feel as sweet as his wife said. It must have been very bitter up to his tongue.

In her rough breathing, Viona was out of her mind to persuade the Marshal to eat. But, he can't give up. At any rate, Viona should be able to persuade the Marshal. For his health too.

"Chal, come on, eat again! Another spoonful, yeah."

Intentionally, Marshal shook his head. She was even happy to hear Viona's persuasion. Marshal feels like a husband who is very hungry for attention. She likes the way Viona persuades her. Rarely did Viona care so much about him.

"I don't want to eat anymore, honey. Don't force!" marshal said weakly. His body felt very bad to feel. It felt sore, heavy, and again the temperature was still very hot, making it even more painful. Marshal refused to eat again. But, he thought again and instead grinned inwardly when he heard his wife persuade again.

"Dear, eat, yes! I'll give you a kiss later, if you want to eat."
