Because of the compulsion

Persuading Through Lina

Sundays are still in the Pratama residence. All the families are at home. Including Marshal and Vino who is now accompanying Heru to play golf in the field behind his house. Although not as wide as the usual golf course, the field at Heru's house is quite satisfying and quite spacious. They played there, while the women sat on the sidelines preparing the food they had just finished serving.

The women prepared a variety of delicious and fresh food. Laying a mat on the green grass. Think of it as recreation in a cool place full of views of flowers owned by Lina. Very beautiful and soothing to the eyes.

"Mars, beat papa! Show that these young souls can succeed!" Vino patted his chest confidently making Marshal chuckle brandishing a golf club, preparing a swipe for the game to take turns.

"Here, the most misses," Heru sneered dismissively, "whatever is old like this, still will not lose." Heru shook his hands in the air, arrogant.

On the sidelines, Viona smiled broadly at the warmth of her family. He also thumped when the Marshal swung the stick twice, attached it to the prepared ball and swung again until it hit the ball hard and the ball floated far away. And ...

"Well!" Viona sighed disappointed to see that the ball did not go into the hole it should have been.

Heru patted Marshal's shoulder while laughing. "What did you say." He laughed, looking at Vino full of ridicule.  "Here, let papa's share. Look, yeah!" He took over the position of the Marshal and swung the stick, taking a swing just like the Marshal did.

Applause and cheerful cheers were heard, because the golf ball that Heru dropped turned out to be right on target. The middle-aged Pri lifted his chin arrogantly, smiling mockingly at Vino and Marshal.

The women laughed at seeing it. The behavior of the old man was very embarrassing. Maybe he behaved arrogantly in front of the child and his daughter-in-law who was not superior to him.

"Great papa!" yelled Viona giving applause and a kiss away from the edge. He cheered his father's success to make Heru more arrogant and pretentious.

They all laugh. Soluble in happiness created simple. It was as easy as making a laugh. Enough with togetherness, then happiness will accompany them.

"Taste, anyway, the sooner the better, dear. Delaying is not wrong. But, my mother so have a desire so that you soon have children. It would be better to be like that." Lina grabbed Viona's hand, rubbing it gently.

A sincere smile from a mother, the soft and soothing words that Lina always gave made Viona reluctant to argue. But, he can't. Viona's not ready. "Why don't you ask me to be like Vino? He's ready to have a kid." Seeking a defense to avoid. Hopefully, Lina doesn't flout like Rahma did to her.

"Just because Vino is ready, Rena is too. They don't need to be asked. As soon as possible give mama a granddaughter, Dek." The body of Viona, resuscitated her head to be rubbed in her lap. Viona just fell silent receiving a subtle swipe of her mother's hand. "Mama's not forcing. Nor does it urge you to have children soon. Mama just hoped. After all, you and Marshal are closer. I am sure you can be good parents. You can love your children with love."

Lina didn't ask, just suggested. Just hope. But, Viona became agitated herself thinking about it. Yesterday Rahma and now Lina. Marshal wants the same thing. Is it selfish for Viona, if she constantly refuses? But, she really wasn't ready to have children. It's too early to be a mother. Not because Viona wouldn't. It's just a matter of readiness.

Knocking sounded. Viona raised her head from Lina's lap, glancing towards the door. Marshal appeared there with a smile, after Lina invited him to open the door.

"Why, Chal?" Viona tidied her hair to make it more organized. Looking at her husband who already looked fresh, she smiled widely. Handsome and independent. Marshal does not need it to dress and prepare toiletries. Goody. Viona so did not feel too burdened by it.

"Samperin first."

Viona glanced at Lina, nodding. Lina's gaze was warm and instructed her to approach Marshal who was still standing in front of the room door. He did not dare to enter like that. Be Viona who relents and comes out of that room.

Lina smiled and nodded her head at the Marshal who was about to pierce the door. One thumb lifted and winked at his daughter-in-law. Marshal said, thank you by lip movement, not making a sound, returning to smile meaningfully and going out with his wife.

Earlier this morning, Marshal said something similar to what he told Rahma. And it turns out, unexpectedly, her mother-in-law can indeed be invited to compromise. Not as hard as imagined. Lina was easily invited to cooperate, although at first the mother-in-law refused. Lina couldn't force Viona to be ready, because she was well versed with her feelings. But, basically Marshal is good at persuading. Talking for a while, Lina immediately agreed to share Viona's thoughts about the child. And Lina also wants to support Marshal to make Viona's thoughts turn so quickly want to have children.

Cheating path. Marshal uses her mother-in-law to seduce Viona. Seeing his wife now who was just silent, Marshal was sure, Lina's words affected Viona's mind a little. His wife seemed reluctant to open her voice and just daydreamed at the television featuring a soap opera during the day.

Marshal also felt sorry to see her. He is indeed selfish, if he continues to force the desire to force Viona to be ready. But, if it wasn't like that, when would Viona be ready? When will he wait for her? A readiness will never arise until at any time, if they do not force it to face it.

"Chal?"

"Hm?" The marshal approached Viona, hugging her from the side, giving a light kiss at the temple. "Why?"

Viona's face did look a little pale. He's not passionate and limp. In addition to the arrival of her monthly guests, Viona also seems to think about the problem of children, more precisely Lina's speech. Marshal should be happy. Because Viona had already started thinking about it and it would potentially be realized soon. But now what he felt was pity.

"I want to runjak seger, which is spicy."

Marshal's brows were linked, looking down at Viona. "You're like a cravings guy. Where can I get that rut you want, hm?"

Viona turned her gaze, looked thoughtful, then smiled looking at the Marshal. "Bikinese. If you buy an old one."

"I can't make the spice. Who's gonna make it?" Marshal wouldn't have thought Viona was cravings. Still far. And that can't be happening. He opened the seal not long ago. Even if the seeds are ready, Marshal will not have an effect like a person cravings like that. Moreover, don't forget, Viona is coming the moon. People who are menstruating would want something like that, right? It's not wrong if Viona asks for a spicy rujak.
