"Are you a cheap woman?"
Viona immediately turned her head in shock at the Marshal. They're in the car right now. Rio's still driving. The focused marshal looked forward and instead said flat like just now making Viona frown deeply.
"I mean Sir?"
Marshal turned his head briefly flat and looked back to the front. "A lot of guys claim to like you. What does that mean ... if you're not the cheap one?"
Viona widened her eyes. "What does Master mean? You're accusing me of being a cheap woman?" sarcasm sharp. Do not accept the words of Marshal who demeans him like that. Who was Marshal until he said that? They had not known for long, but Marshal had dared to say it was rough.
Sitting next to each other allowed Viona to see the Marshal's face. Although from the side, but he could see the Marshal smiling sideways, underestimating him, right?
"The son of Mr. Arga, then Indra, then three men who passed by in the restaurant. And ... What is that name? He's like that to you, too. Cih, you're a seductress?"
Plaque!
With how dare Viona slap the jaw of the Marshal. He was emotionless as harshly as that. "Dragon your mouth, Master! I'm not a seductress, why do you call me that?"
Marshal held his hot jaws. He was shocked by Viona's brave attitude. With mounting anger Marshal locks Viona's gaze. "How dare you slap me?"
"That's because you can't keep your word. I'm not a cheap woman like Master said!"
"I'm just asking, not saying you!"
Viona's getting angry. "But, the Lord's words showed me as if I was cheap. We're new to you, but you've been saying that when you don't even know me right."
"I'm just wondering why so many people like you, not say you" Elak Marshal again.
Viona grunts rudely. "What if so many people like me? Is that a problem for you? I am a beautiful and kind girl. It's only fitting that so many men are fascinated by me" Viona said confidently.
Marshal until gaping wide can not believe to hear it. Viona is very brave. "Not shameless!"
"What's? I am beautiful and charming. Don't blame me if a lot of guys like it! They don't like me because I'm cheap, sir. But, because I'm awesome." Viona stared back at the face of Marshal. He's whining. "Master told me cheap, then what woman in Master's lap?"
"You!" Marshal pointed at Viona's face.
With a high level of courage, Viona parried the hands of the Marshal so as not to point at his face again. "To be accused without any evidence is painful, sir. Don't talk too much!"
"It's well deserved to-"
"What's? Sir want to call me again?" cut Viona out quickly. "Now I want to ask you, sir. Why would you marry me, when there are many other women out there?" Looking at the Marshal who was just speechless, Viona smiled sinisterly. "That means Master is also fascinated by me, right? That's why you want to marry me?"
Marshal gaping. There was absolutely no flashing hearing Viona's words. "Don't just talk! Who's fascinated with you?" he immediately turned his eyes to the side. Indeed Marshal admitted, no one can resist the radiance of Viona's charm. Heru's girl is too perfect if it must be reproached.
Viona shook her head looking at the Marshal who was avoiding her. Marshal said she was cheap thinking Viona was a seductive woman. But now, look at him who was even silent, take a look!
"Master said I'm a seductive woman" Viona muttered, which could still be heard clearly by the Marshal. "But, you yourself want to marry me instead. Master is fascinated by me, right? I've never teased you. Don't blame me if many like it! All men are the same. Can't keep his feelings. See beautiful women instantly like. Mr. proof."
Marshal fell silent without seeing Viona. A red gush appeared on his face. In retrospect, Viona's words were indeed true. Maybe she shouldn't think that Viona is a cheap woman until a lot of men are expecting her. Because the marshals are just like the men chasing after Viona.

"Let's go in! My mother is waiting for you" said Marshal, pulling Viona's hand into her parents' mansion.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma ...!"
"Waalaikum salam. Uh, Yes Alloh Mama's daughter-in-law has come!"
Viona fell silent in shock and was greeted hysterically by a middle-aged woman with a glamorous appearance at a young age.
"My mama" whispered the Marshal to Viona who immediately smiled kindly. Stretching out her hands to kiss the back of her future in-laws' hands.
The nervous feeling began to fall. Viona awkwardly confronts her mother Marshal. Not knowing why, he was scared and embarrassed. What if Marshal's mother doesn't like him? Like everyone else said, facing a prospective in-law is very scary. Is this how she feels? Viona felt unwell.
"Come in, baby!" take his mother Marshal friendly. Rahma. He clasped Viona's hand, inviting her to go inside.
Treated so, Viona's feelings are getting less and less. This was his first meeting with Rahma. It had never been imagined in his mind, if he was going to experience something like this. Meeting prospective in-laws with overwhelming nervous feelings. Girlfriends don't have, let alone prospective in-laws. It was only fitting that he felt so scared and still could not believe what he was facing. Within a week, Viona already had a candidate-in-law. Awesome, right?
"Chal, Mama's future daughter-in-law is beautiful."
Viona furrowed her brows looking at the Marshal. "Chal?"
"That's a dear call from my family" said Marshal in response to Viona's confused gaze.
Geez, why is dealing with a would-be-in-law so stressful like this? his inner.
"How are you, honey?" asked Rahma who deliberately sat next to Viona on the living room sofa.
Viona smiled sweetly. Actually he's clumsy. Not to mention his heart rate is starting to be abnormal. Viona did not expect that Rahma's attitude would be so warm to her. It was the first time I met. Previously, Viona was afraid that her future father-in-law would mock her or even be a joke on her. Like in the movies and what people say. But, after feeling it for yourself, it turns out not all prospective in-laws are like that. Maybe he was just scared.
"Alhamdulillah, my good news, madam."
Rahma glared her eyes. "Mrs? Why did you call me madam? Call me mama! You'll soon be my son-in-law."
Viona smiled clumsyly. He hesitated if he should call like that. In addition to the first time they met, Viona also did not know the mother figure of the Marshal well. He only knows about Marshal. It was only told his name was also kind-hearted attitude from his mother, not telling him more.
A look at the Marshal who just fell silent while smiling himself saw the interaction of Viona and her future in-laws. Viona requests Marshal's approval through a gaze and Rahma's son nods, allowing.
"Chal has told me everything about you, same mom. Ah, my mom is so happy to hear that. So lucky mom if you have a daughter-in-law like you," said Rahma enthusiastically. Viona's hand never slipped from her hand.
She is very happy after knowing that Marshal will marry Viona. Hearing the story from her son, Rahma is convinced that Viona is a good woman. Seeing Viona's attitude when she first met, Rahma was able to conclude that Viona was indeed a dream daughter-in-law candidate.
Other than smiling awkwardly, Viona was speechless. He was surprised to hear Rahma's words. What did Marshal say to his mother until Rahma could say that? Viona compliments Rahma too much. They had just met, but Rahma had treated him well.
"How are the wedding preparations? Is everything going well?"
"It's all done, Ma. Just stay the show. Her preparedness was almost perfect" said Marshal representing Viona who did not know anything about wedding preparations. He simply obeyed what Marshal said and became a woman on the wedding day. Not to interfere in the preparation.
Rahma was just a beard and smiled happily. Looking back at Viona with enthusiasm. "What about the clothes fittings? Does the dress fit you? Mama chose it for you, you know."
Viona. "The book fits, madam."
"Mrs again? Call me a name!" Rahma's face pouted, not liking the call of her future daughter-in-law.
Viona's been acting wrong. She feels bad for Rahma. "I-yes I'm sorry, Ma."
Rahma smiled back and stroked Viona's hair gently. Viona's getting nervous. He wanted to stay away from Rahma for a moment. Why is the tension not gone too? Viona could not deal with her future father-in-law for long. His status as a prospective daughter-in-law made him confused about what to behave like.
On the day Viona encouraged herself not to be nervous. Slow down and exhale slowly to relieve the tension. Yet, still. That unbecoming feeling is not lost.
"Ma," Viona ventured to interact more.
"Yes, Honey?" Rahma smiled happily. Being called mama by a prospective daughter-in-law makes her own happiness.
He already has a son-in-law of his eldest son. But, it's a son-in-law. And now there's Viona. A daughter-in-law who could be a friend to her later. Rahma was very happy to imagine that later she and Viona would do things together. Uh, can't wait. Rahma will have a beautiful daughter-in-law and a new hebring friend.
"Nr ...." Viona cursed to herself who even felt more nervous to talk. Where's your brave soul Viona? Facing criminals alone can, why do you lose when facing prospective in-laws?
Because Viona seemed hesitant to say, Rahma immediately replied quickly. "Ah, good news, dear."
Marshal laughed at his mother's behavior. "Mrs ... Viona hasn't asked anything yet" he said with a mocking laugh.
Viona just smelled a smile. He hasn't said anything yet. But, Rahma immediately replied, even though she did not know what Viona would say.
"Don't laugh!" Rahma looked at Marshal in annoyance. Then, look at Viona again. "You just wanted to hear from Mama, right?" Seeking a defense against his future son-in-law.
Viona nodded slowly. He also did not know what to say. Marshal shook his head looking at Rahma's attitude.
"Mama, you know!" his taunts at Rahma were immediately met with a sharp glare.
Rahma clucked in annoyance. Bringing attention to Viona. "Oh, yes. What about your parents? Mom wants to meet them. Considering your marriage was so impromptu, so our families never met, right? How's things? Besan's fine, right?"
Viona becomes ashamed of herself given Rahma's attitude towards her. Rahma had even mentioned Viona's parents as her besi. He thinks it's overrated. The wedding has not yet been held, but Rahma considers it to have happened.
"Alhamdulillah, fine."
"Thank God! Mama's happy to hear it." Rahma rubbed Viona's hand gently. "Want to have dinner with the Besan family. But that's when, Chal?" asked Rahma to the Marshal who was just silent, now was looking at the contents of his phone.
"Let's set the schedule." Marshal's focus remains on the mobile. It looked so serious that it did not look at Rahma in the slightest. He's up. "I'm upstairs first, yeah, Ma. Take a shower."
Rahma nodded. Marshal glanced at Viona for a moment before leaving. "You wanna come?" god Marshal raised his eyebrows.
Viona shook her head quickly. It was strange to see the attitude of Marshal which he thought looked from a different side. Marshal who always looks authoritative with his power and likes to organize Viona's life, now he looks warmer if with his family. Viona could see his true nature now. And Viona thinks, Marshal's not too bad. Men who like to ban it a lot of things must have a nice side. Just because he was in power alone, so his attitude always made everyone disinclined.
