Because of the compulsion

Does Marshal still love her?

A bad morning. Viona looks like an undead, all night unable to sleep and unwilling to eat anything since noon yesterday. The cause is Marshal.

"Breakfast first, Deck!" Lina knocked on her bedroom door.

"Yes, Ma, just a second."

Even married, her parents still treat Viona like their little girl. Always be reminded to get up early and also have breakfast every day. Though it should not be necessary, because Viona is also an adult. But, Lina still considers Viona a child who still needs a lot of attention and warning, so it is always considered excessive.

Choosing a bath to refresh themselves, Viona did not look as enthusiastic as the previous days. His body felt weak and a little dizzy. Maybe the effect of staying up last night, he thought.

Finished with the morning ritual, Viona already looked better. Looks fresh, beautiful and of course fragrant.

"Again, Papa!" Viona kissed Heru's cheek, wrapped her hands around her father's shoulders, after a long time she never did that again. Viona refused to stop, instead propping her chin on the shoulder of her father who was enjoying a cup of green tea, before starting breakfast.

"Remember, you're married, Viona."

Pratama's youngest son scowled. "If it's reminded like that, I don't feel like a father anymore."

Heru instead chuckles, still sitting, does not mind the behavior of his son who he really misses. She likes Viona who is as spoiled as she is now. It feels like Viona hasn't behaved like a child in a long time. She has grown up and may soon become a mother, God willing, if God allows her.

"When did Marshal come home?"

"Either, Pa. He's busy, he said."

Heru grabbed Viona's hand that was coiled around her neck and shoulders. He pulled Viona to sit next to him. If noticed, the look on Viona's face seems to change when saying about Marshal. "Do you guys have any problems? Why?"

Viona shook her head, positioning herself to slightly turn away from Heru's peeking gaze. It is better to glance at the kitchen, where Lina is now preparing dishes with other domestic workers. "Sister Vino's home?"

A faint smile appeared, aware of Viona's attempts to divert the conversation. "If Marshal treats you unkindly, tell me papa. It's my duty to make sure you're okay. You're still papa's son, not someone else. Don't hesitate!"

Viona nodded slowly. The feelings of parents can never be lied to or indeed his sense of regret towards Marshal so obvious, at this time? He is not good at acting, it is appropriate if Heru sees a change in his mood.

"Vino last night wanted to say goodbye to you, before he came home. But, you're angry again, he said."

Viona was surprised to hear Heru's words. There's no way her brother could hear all the mockery that came out of her mouth, right? Viona was furious last night and curses rudely that was intended for the Marshal. Don't let anyone know you did that!

All Viona could do now was duck, as Heru took a look at her. No, this is the case with Marshal, he cannot say anything against Heru at the moment. It is better to be quiet and immediately divert activities. Perhaps helping Lina prepare food would make it easier for her to avoid.

And that's what he did.

Heru only shook his head at the behavior of his son. Viona was trying to look fine at the moment. It was very different from the Viona he had known since he was a baby. If in the past Viona would say everything that happened in her life to Heru, unlike now, the little girl was an adult, already able to keep everything by herself.

However, it made Heru not calm. He was afraid that there was a problem that Viona could not endure on her own. He knew his son would not stay strong. He is a human who has a weak side. Heru will suspend his son-in-law, if only he dared to hurt his son.

Accept it? No ... Accept, no. Accept no.

Viona stared at the screen of the phone which still showed incoming calls from Marshal numbers. He had ignored the call twice and was still trying to reach him.

If ignored, what would happen to Marshal? Viona felt it would be nothing, if she did not accept it anymore. Marshal doesn't care about him anymore, does he? Then, why did he contact Viona now? Remember if he had a wife?

The screen no longer displays an incoming call. Viona let out a disappointed sigh, Marshal has stopped to contact her. He should be happy, but that's not what he wants.

The phone clinks, then the incoming message from Marshal's number catches Viona's attention. Quickly he opened it and read the message.

If being ignored can't calm you down, don't ignore others either.

What the hell does that mean? Viona did not understand what her husband wanted. Did Marshal think Viona couldn't calm down because of her actions?

Hmh!

It's true!

Viona even wanted to cry because of that.

Re-entry call visible. This time Viona accepted it. The phone was stuck in front of her ear, she said nothing, before her husband started the conversation. She did not want to curse directly, wanting to hear first what her husband would explain this time.

But, for a long time they were silent behind a phone connection that only listened to the sound of breathing with each other.

"Speak a little!" whispered Marshal, pierced through Viona's sense of hearing until it pierced to make her chest tight.

"Well remember having a wife here?" Viona curses herself as her gaze begins to heat up. No. gabe. She shouldn't have cried and she should have cursed her husband who in the last few days had been indifferent and even made her feel uneasy.

They fell silent back. Viona got up from the bed, walking towards the large glass door that led her all the way to the balcony. Viona stood there, watching the scorching afternoon sun as if drying up the vain hope.

She should be cursing, angry and accusing her husband harshly. But, why can't he say all that swearing now. All the swearing and scolding seemed to be restrained and his mouth was very reluctant to open. Tongue's cow.

"Ra ..." called her, still faithfully searching into Viona's hearing.

A call he had not heard in a long time. The call has never been spoken in a subtle, deep and meaningful tone. Viona missed that call.

"I hate you," said Viona, looking out the balcony softly.

From across there there was no sound. Viona was getting impatient waiting for an explanation from her husband, but Marshal did not open his voice. He remembered what he wanted, cursing and yelling at Marshal over the phone. Viona took out everything she held for the entire night. She hates Marshal, she's upset and angry with her husband. And everything he's holding is out, but the Marshal didn't say a word from across there.

"Don't see me again, if you still want to act like that! I'm tired of it, Chal! You're there with another woman, I'll take it. Just don't let you sleep with her! I will curse anyone who dares sleep with you! So, don't fuck around!" Viona said her final sentence furiously, but the longing and unfortunately inevitable. It was clear from his tone of speech that began to tremble withstanding the frustrated cries.

"You mustn't forget me, Marshal! I'm your wife!" He began to sob, shrinking snot that began to pour out. "What are the advantages of Garmita that I don't have until you leave for work and forget about me here?! Am I less than perfect? You can leave me only for the sake of the trivial work you can actually leave behind. I don't accept it!" her voice began to soften, Viona kept the phone away for a moment from the ears, because Marshal did not make a sound. It even added to the pain in his heart.

"Don't know if I'm－"

"Stop talking unnecessarily. I have business after this. Sorry, I hung up."

"Marshal!" Viona threw the original phone, hitting the floor until a loud knocking sound was heard. No matter if the phone is broken or split.

Maybe Marshal is still acting cold like that, after all the string of complaints Viona heart out. He thought Marshal was starting to think about it again until he called first. But, in fact, it only humiliates Viona who has been deceived by love and now she feels disappointed due to blind jealousy of the husband, who does not even care about his feelings at all.

Does Marshal still love her? It feels like Viona just wants to die, if she knows Marshal does not care about her anymore.

Hayooolooo ....
