"Why should I, not find another way out? Doesn't papa love me?" viona said to herself. He went back silent.
After hearing an explanation from Heru that was very shocking a few hours ago, he locked himself in the room. Not letting anyone enter even Heru can not meet face to face with him anymore so Heru feel bad with deep. He knew his son would be very disappointed in his decision. However, there was no other way he could do it. That's the only way that can still be hope. Although painful.
Viona nodded again. He did not even want to eat just because he thought of Heru's words. Viona did not speak to Heru or Lina who had previously continued to apologize to him.
Wh why? Why should he be the victim? Why do we have to get married which is the solution? Wh why?
Viona's life was like collapsing in a second. Not knowing who to be angry at and how to pour it out. Just silence she can do. Crying could not because he still did not fully believe that reality. The fact that requires her to marry a Marshal in order to save the company. It doesn't make sense.

"Papa sold me?" viona asked with teary eyes. He did not expect that Heru would treat him that long.
Heru immediately shook his head and grabbed back Viona's hand. "That's not what papa meant, Viona. Papa just had no other choice. Don't consider this a sales issue! Papa is sick to hear it. Let's just say it's a rescue for the continuation of our family's life. With-"
"That's just the name of the sale, Pa!" cut Viona in a high tone. He did not understand his father's way of thinking. Why sacrifice a child just for the sake of the company? "If the company is more valuable, then just throw me out. If-"
"That's not what papa meant, Viona!" heru's snapping made Viona instantly speechless with a look that clearly exuded shock. Heru never snapped at her like that.
Aware of her overly harsh tone, Heru sighed harshly and apologized to the frightened Viona. "Can't you understand the situation? Papa is dizzy and has no way out. Papa's hope is just you. Just you, Viona. If the company is destroyed, then our family will live miserable. You want to live a long life, not calm in debt?"

"Araghh! What am I supposed to do now?" Viona ruffled her hair in frustration as she recalled Heru's explanation. He sat down beside the bed with both legs bent.
This very complicated situation made him lose his mind. How could he marry a Marshal he had not loved not even he knew at all. Moreover, his marriage had to be done in order to save the company. Does that sound reasonable? No. gabe. Same with selling kids, right?
But, Viona herself did not know what to do either. He wanted to help his father to solve this problem in another way so that he would not marry the Marshal. But in what way? Heru alone is an expert in the field of business has been confused, let alone himself who does not even understand at all about the company.
"Dad?"
Viona looked up at the door. Vino came in and closed the door again and walked over to Viona. He sat down on the carpet and rested his back on the edge of the bed.
"Why you?" ask Vino the stale base. Actually he also knew that Viona was in a bad condition because Vino already knew everything from Heru.
Viona shook her head and lowered her head. He just kept the pain alone. Though his eyes were already hot to spill the circle right now. But, as much as possible he could endure. Viona did not want her brother to be worried.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Vino. Pulling Viona's chin so that she can look at him fixedly. "You crying? Why?" Vino knew very well the nature of his sister. He also could not bear to see Viona grimly like this. What Vino knew, his sister was very jolly and stout. Never seen this mess.
Without saying any more, Viona hugged Vino tightly. Her crying immediately spilled in Vino's arms to wet her brother's breast.
Slowly, he rubbed Viona's shaken back. Vino was well versed with Viona's feelings, even if she was in Viona's position, she probably wouldn't be able to hear this reality. Hearing Heru who was going to marry her for the sake of the company, perhaps Vino would immediately oppose. But this little brother just kept his own pain. That was how Viona knew this shocking thing?
"Sst, that's it!" Vino stroked Viona's head fondly. Can't bear to see this tough Viona become fragile just because of Heru's words.
"Sister, I will be married to Mr. Marshal" Viona said sobbing. Still hiding his face in the chest of the brother. "I don't want to. I don't want to marry him. I don't know him." Viona's crying more and more painfully made Vino more and more unbearable.
"Deck, already! Brother doesn't want to see you cry like this." Vino unraveled her embrace making Viona have to move a little away from her chest and slowly they looked at her. "Ululu, look! Your face is amby gini," joked Vino muffled the cheeks of the sister with anxiety.
Viona blushed hearing that. Her crying began to subside but was still reluctant to speak.
"Say! What makes you cry so hard?" vino said slowly. Not forgetting that she also smiled seductively making Viona so misbehaved. He knew, Vino was trying to comfort him so as not to feel tense and sad anymore. However, Viona could still feel her sadness even though it was not as big as before.
"I have to how? Papa will marry me to save the company. It's the same as selling me, isn't it, brother? Do I have to obey Papa's wishes?"
Vino silently looked at the sister's face tightly. He was also confused by the current state of affairs. He had already tried to rack his brain to help get out of the problem that Heru was facing. But, it was only a dead end that he got. The only way out is indeed by agreeing to the Marshal's offer. But it was definitely very hard to do.
"I don't want to, Brother. I don't even know him. But, papa ...." Viona's cries broke again. Poking her face at the Big Brother, Viona could no longer hold back her sadness and anger.
"Sstt, don't cry anymore!" Vino rubbed Viona's back until her sister calmed down. "Papa did all this there is also a reason. I know, Dad had to do this. If there was another way, of course papa wouldn't do this ...."
"But why should I, brother?"
Vino let out his breath. That's what's been the hardest point. Viona was to be sacrificed and there was no other choice. If only, the position was different and Vino had to replace his sister. Vino would do it. As long as it's not Viona who bears the impact of everything.
But, all of that is impossible to change with position. All Marshal wants is to marry Viona. Heru and Vino can do anything, they're just starving people looking for help. And, come Marshal gives an offer. Initially, they thought the offer would be easy to deal with and then approved. Apparently not.
Why should Marshal ask to marry her? Even if Marshal asks for reciprocity, Vino can devote the rest of his life to work with Marshal even if not paid.
"What should I do, brother? I don't want to marry him." Viona's embrace grew tighter even though her sobs had subsided. But his pill tone could still feel chest tight.
"If you were in my position, what would you do?" Viona released her indentation. Staring at Vino with a clingy. "Sister must've turned it down too, right? Just like me. It is impossible for you to marry someone you do not love, even for corporate reasons. It's certain that Brother will reject her, right?"
"No," Vino replied quickly.
Viona was stunned to hear her brother's answer. "What crazy brother? There's no way you'd want to do that?"
"Viona, listen to Brother!" Vino rubbed his sister's cheek gently. Slowly explain the reason calmly. "If big brother is in your position, big brother would have agreed to it-"
"Why?" viona asked not to accept. He's not like Vino. How could such an offer be easily approved? I'm so sorry that Vino talks like that. Didn't she see how tormented Viona was when she found out about it?
"Hear first!" vino said he was calm. Viona was finally silent even though her mind did not accept and rejected her brother's callous thinking. "The impact of the bankruptcy of the papa company not only affects us, but also others."
"Sister mean?"
Vino's sweet smile carried a calming aura before she explained. Viona was silent again. "We forget first the impact on our family that will obviously suffer" Viona said gently.
"You know, the employees at papa's company are tens of thousands. If the company goes bankrupt, what will happen to them? It wouldn't be a big deal if only our families got the impact. At most we are miserable and live a long life. But we can still try to wake up later in the day. But, them? How are tens of thousands of employees? How did they live their lives again after the bankruptcy? There is no way any other company will accept them quickly. That means the biggest impact of this bankruptcy is not our family, but them."
Viona was silent. Contemplating Vino's words that really make sense. But, should Viona sacrifice?
"Trust! Papa did all this for obvious reasons. Not only because he did not want to see his family suffer, but also did not want to destroy the living standards of many families."
