Because of the compulsion

Marriages

LEGITIMATE?

LEGITIMATE!

Witnesses chant prayers after the sacred kabul is uttered smoothly by the Marshal with one breath.

Viona's head was dizzy, after listening to the chanting of kabul that sounded until the waiting room, where Viona was now. Either what she must feel now, whether she should be happy has been officially married by the Marshal, or she should be sad, grieving, because his marriage took place without the basis of love like what he had longed for.

Only one thing Viona can do, accept this marriage with all her heart and live it all sincerely, no matter what, will Viona receive with airy chest, both joy and sorrow. Let his marriage be based only on coercion, let him sacrifice, his purpose is only one. That's all Viona can do for the good of everyone, for Heru's company and her family, and for the lives of Heru's employees. Viona could not possibly uphold her own ego to the point of making others suffer, all she could do was this, marry a Marshal, and hope that everything would be fine.

Viona, joined by her mother and future sister-in-law Rena, the lover of Vino, steps towards the place where Marshal has pronounced his kabuli.

The audience who watched also rejoiced to see the blue steps of the bride in white dress were herded closer to the Marshal, the groom who had emitted his smile to see the graceful steps of Viona.

For a moment their eyes clashed as Viona also stared at the Marshal, she immediately lowered her gaze, as nervousness had already dominated. Viona still could not believe that she was now the legal wife of the Marshal. As soon as this status changed, only a few minutes ago he was still single, before Marshal said kabul for him. Now that she's a wife, it still feels like a dream.

Well-favoured.

 

Only that one word could Marshal conclude seeing the astonishment of Viona's appearance now standing before him. A feeling of nervousness was very noticeable from him, but he tried to sing his sweet smile to the audience who watched.

 

Without waiting for a word or command, Viona grabbed the Marshal's right hand, kissing the back of his palm. The audience cheered as the Marshal responded to Viona's actions by kissing her forehead softly.

Cup

Viona was glued in her silence. This was the first time he had been kissed by a man other than Heru and also Vino. His heart suddenly beat uncontrollably, his feelings were also unpredictable. What Marshal did was shocking to him.

The wedding ceremony continued within the spacious hall of the building. Super luxurious wedding with super wah decoration that looks glamorous, spoiling the eyes of the audience who participate.

......

"Congratulations to the wedding" the guests shook hands and turned, greeting the two brides who looked very happy. The lavish decoration of the building also adds to the festive impression of the party that took place. Everyone seemed to exude joy behind the look in his eyes, seeing the two brides who were never absent smiling.

"You tired?" Marshal's whisper on Viona who was seen stomping her legs wearing hiels, several times. His legs had begun to ache because they stood too long, while the invited guests who were present had not shown any signs of quickly receding.

"My feet are sore, sir" Marshal understood Viona's complaint, as she also felt very tired.

"Would you rest first?" Viona shook her head, a sign she refused to rest.

"But the invited guest who came was only half of it, are you still strong?" Viona. Marshal said the guest who came was half of it? Whereas from earlier if Viona counted, if the invited guests who had been present might have been thousands of people, and that was only half of it? How many people are actually invited?

It is not surprising if they invite many people, considering both are great business families among the top, of course they have many relatives and acquaintances.

"If you want to rest first is also okay" Viona actually wants to agree to an offer from Marshal, but she feels bad if she has to agree to it, maybe it's better that she still greet the invited guests, and force the feet of this paggil to continue standing.

"Hows it? Wanna rest?" Viona just shook her head with a less friendly look, she wanted to take a break and leave the hall right now, but she wanted to undo it considering it was her wedding day, he should greet the invited guests. It would not look good if he rested instead and did not welcome the invited guests.

"Sir.." call Viona softly make Marshal raise his eyebrows asking 'what's wrong?'

"Can I take off my shoes?" Whisper Viona slowly. "My feet are sore because the shoes are too high"

The marshal glanced at Viona's feet for a moment, before he finally smiled and said "Already, let go if it's uncomfortable. Don't force yourself!"

Viona is forced to hold onto Marshal's arm to hold on as she has to take off her hiels shoes. But not yet Viona let go, Marshal had already crouched down, making Viona surprised because the Marshal's hand was moved to remove his shoes.

The queue of invited guests stopped, boisterous attendants were also heard cheering, there were also sounds of teasing whistles among the invited guests who witnessed the romance of the two brides.

Viona was uncomfortable. All eyes were on him, making his cheeks blush in embarrassment. What Marshal did just now was very sudden, Viona did not expect that Marshal would do that to her.

But on the other hand, Heru did look happy to see the romance of his new son and daughter-in-law, but not with his heart, he felt very guilty for having to marry Viona to Marshal, a man who is not loved at all. His mind kept asking, is his decision to marry Viona right? Was Heru too cruel to his own son, so Viona had to sacrifice that far for the sake of his company? Heru could only pray in his heart, hopefully his decision this time was not wrong. He only hopes, hopefully the marriage of his son can run smoothly, Viona happy and his marriage can survive until death that separates.

"Seems like you've been very tired sir?" Heru approached Marshal who was sitting on the outside bench of the building alone to relieve fatigue in his body. The show is not finished yet but Marshal chose to rest himself for a moment.

"Eh, sir.." Marshal shifted his seat allowing Heru to take part in the long chair he was sitting in.

"Master should rest in the inner room, it's better than here"

"Ah, it's okay. Oh yeah, don't call me that again. I'm your son too now"

Heru smiled and patted Marshal on the shoulder. "Then call me Papa" Marshal nodded in agreement, both of them smiling happily.

"Solicit permission for what?"

"I'll take Viona to my house. Maybe after the show, she'll go straight home to me"

Heru sighed deeply, then smiled. "I allow" he said hesitantly, looking once if he could not let Viona go far away from him.

Heru looked ahead, seeing the beautiful scenery in front of the building where the magnificent wedding was held. He took a few breaths and took a few breaths, with a sad look, glaring somewhere.

"Viona's my only daughter. I love him so much. Now she is yours, the wife of another. Whatever your decision in guiding his steps I will always allow it while it is good for Viona" Heru put aside his seat, staring at the Marshal who was also staring at him. "I trust Viona to you. I hope you can take care of him and always make him happy. I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong, it all starts with a lie between us. But I hope you can take good care of my daughter. Never let her down, let alone make her cry. Viona was a tough woman, she never cried if not because her heart was hurt too deeply. And I hope you don't hurt him. Promise me you will always make my daughter happy!"

Marshal nodded quickly and smiled at Heru. Marshal knew his decision to marry Viona was not an easy one to live with. He married the girl of the person already means from now on he is the one who bears Viona's happiness.

*****

Hufhh... Viona threw her body which was still wrapped in a red dress, onto the sofa in her makeup room.

His body felt so very tired after a day of following the series after series of events that became part of his wedding party.

The party was finished a few minutes ago. The event lasted a long time, from morning until now it has shown the time at 9 pm, and of course it takes a lot of energy, making Viona's body lose its taste, and of course it takes a lot of energy, feeling so tired is incredible.

All he wanted right now was to go home. She wanted to take a bath and remove this troublesome dress from her body, instantly sleeping soundly on her beloved soft mattress. Just imagining it is able to make Viona's body feel more relaxed, until the desire to go home soon gets bigger.

"Cappies, honey?"

Viona turned her head towards the door, her smile expanding seeing the two people she loved the most in front of her.

"You guys haven't come home yet? Kirain me, you guys have come home alone" asked Viona to her parents who had just entered the room.

"It was going to go straight home, but wanted to see Mama's girl for the last time" Lina and Heru sat flanking Viona disofa.

"I want to die, I have to see you one last time"

"That's not what Mama meant, you're married, and you're definitely going to be separated from us.."

"I will stay with you. Not going anywhere"

"You'll stay at Marshal's house after this"

Viona looked at Heru in disbelief. "I won't stay with Mr. Marshal, Pa. I'll stay with you guys"

"No, Viona. Marshal told Papa that you were going to live with him in his house"

"I don't want to, Pa. Why stay with him? I can stay with you guys"

Lina rubbed Viona's head gently, looking at her fixedly. "Sir, now that he is your husband, you must obey whatever is his decision. If she asks you to stay with her, yes you should want to, since you are married so have to stay together" Viona shook her mouth, she could not say anymore and had to obey what her parents said.

"Oh yeah, where's your husband?" Heru's question made Viona stumble.

'Suami's'. That was the word that Viona was shocked at. That word made him temporarily stuck. His heart stopped beating for a moment with breath that stopped blowing. She may have just realized that she has a husband. The status has changed. She's someone else's wife now.

'Wife' yes, just remembering it made him unable to believe. Now she's a wife of Marshal Syahreza Atmadinata.

"Dec, where's your husband?" Heru asked back to disperse Viona's daydream.

"Emm. He's still busy working with his colleagues. He said he still wanted to chat with his business partner from abroad" said Viona who got a nod from Heru.

"Sorry Papa, son. Papa shouldn't have admitted this to you. Papa should be free to choose.."

"No, Pa. I chose this, so Papa don't beat yourself up,"

"But this is all Papa's fault. Wrong Papa. If Papa doesn't agree to the terms of the Marshal master, Papa won't give you to him. You don't need to marry her, honey" Sir Heru's wry gaze accompanied by watery eyes full of guilt.

Viona held Heru's hand. Brushed the back of her hand gently. "Pa, this is all my choice. I chose to marry him. It's not Papa's fault. Stop exhausting yourself. These are all choices not mistakes"

Smiling, he wiped away the tears, looking at Heru confidently. "Everything Papa did for our family. For the happiness of our family. For the common good. If this is what's best for us, I'll accept it. I just want you to live happily without suffering. I love you guys I don't want to see you sad" Viona wiped the tears on her parents' cheeks in turn.

Heru and Lina again embraced Viona affectionately. "Dear, forgive us. As parents, we cannot give you happiness. We were wrong to do all this to you, son." Said Lina who continuously flowed her clear details.

"Ma, Mum.. I will never blame you. You are doing this for my good as well. all this time you have raised me lovingly and also many struggles to make me happy. maybe now is the time for me to repay everything..Yes, although I know, everything you have given me will never be avenged. But

at least with me doing this? Our family will remain happy without going bankrupt. I love you guys. And will always love you" he can't hold back his tears. Soluble in sadness is also a deep novelty.

SERIATE......
