Because of the compulsion

Attention Viona

Four days have passed, Vishnu's condition is getting better, although the scars on his body are very much and have not fully recovered.

Viona picked up a tissue to wipe the lips of her in-laws who were straw due to the porridge she was feeding. He painstakingly fed his father-in-law, and then gave a drink from a glass that wore a straw.

"Now take the medicine, yeah, Pa."

Vishnu just smiled and nodded his head slightly. Viona is very kind and patient to take care of him every day, even willing to stay there just to make sure the condition of her in-laws is fine, even though Rahma's condition is still bad. The news was hard to accept. But, that's the truth. Rahma's wounds were worse than Vishnu's, even her mother-in-law lost a lot of blood over the accident.

"Why do you want fruit?"

Vishnu smiled again. Not saying anything, but remaining happy as Viona peeled the oranges for her.

"Marshal said he'd come home from work later, if all his business was done." Viona thrusts the cleaned orange into the front of Vishnu's mouth.

Her mother-in-law opened her mouth and ate slowly. Viona's palm stretched out again near Vishnu's mouth, asking for her in-laws to remove the orange seeds from her mouth. "It's okay, Pa." Viona laughed softly, Vishnu looked reluctant. Viona has no problem with that.

"Thank you, Viona," said Vishnu, smiling and receiving such treatment.

"Yes, Pa." Viona replied with a sincere smile. It was supposed that as a son-in-law he was kind and treated in-laws like his own parents. Viona was happy to take care of her in-laws.

"Sorry, because your honeymoon papa's accident failed."

Viona shook her head, then smiled. "No, Pa. I am satisfied. In Japan, we also visited many places. I'm happy."

A sad face feeling guilty looks tired on Vishnu. "Later papa replace the same longer vacation, yes. After papa recovers. Papa promised."

"No need, Pa. It's okay, really. What matters is Papa's condition with mama now. Don't think I'm the same Marshal. We're all right."

The intermittent hand of the infusion lifted slowly, weakly rubbing Viona's hand. How lucky he is to have a daughter-in-law like Viona. She is not only beautiful and friendly, but also has a noble heart. Marshal didn't pick a woman wrong for this one. Although obtained in a fraudulent way, but Vishnu admitted the greatness of his son to get a Viona.

"Have you eaten, dear?" Marshal kissed his wife's forehead, giving off a sweet impression every time he came home from work.

"Not yet."

"Why not, hm?" Marshal was pulled to sit on the sofa, looking ahead, his father asleep. "Have you eaten, honey?"

"Udah. Just finished. I'm taking medicine, papa's sleeping."

The marshal nodded his head slowly, gave a warm peck on the cheek and thanked her, because Viona had taken good care of her father. Even better than a hospital nurse, he thought.

"Why haven't you eaten yet?"

"Wait for you." Viona smiled broadly at the sight of her husband twisting his eyeballs. He purposely said that so that the Marshal would not nag him.

"I'll order you to eat first. What do you want?"

"What aja. Just like you, everyone eats good, really."

Again, Marshal twirled the eyeballs. Viona with a behavior that is always surprising lately, always managed to eliminate her fatigue and sadness. Marshal thinks Viona deliberately did that so that she would be entertained and forget the burden of thought for a moment. And it always works. Marshal so can move again well, but still focus on the condition of both parents.

"Chal."

Marshal muttered, still looking at the phone as it was ordering food.

"You're in the office not flirtatious with other women, are you?"

Astounded. The marshal looked at Viona quickly, taking his eyes off the screen for a moment. "What are you talking about, honey?" Marshal was getting less and less clueless with his wife's thoughts. Always just accusing the no-no and asking questions that make him inexhaustible with Viona's increasing jealousy level even more.

"I was just asking," said Viona, immediately throwing her face away, as opposed to her husband.

"Don't start again, honey! I just got home from work and I'm hungry. Don't make a debate, okay? There's papa here."

"Yes, yeah, yeah ...."

"Darling ...."

***

"Patient, yes, Chelle. Let's just pray. Mama must have quickly realized," supported Viona on her sister-in-law from a phone call.

This morning, Michelle returned to tell her that Rahma was still unconscious. Viona was concerned to hear it. He was at home, not in the hospital. The plan will be to go there later in the day with Marshal who is now still talking to who in his room. It seems like someone important came to visit him.

"Jude, Brother. I want to eat first, yeah. Miranda's sister has been nagging from earlier."

"Yes, Chelle. Eat a lot, take vitamins! You've been sleeping less lately. Say the same to Miranda, I'll go there with Chal, yes."

"Yes, Brother." Then the call is interrupted.

Hopefully Rahma will soon be aware from her critical period, Viona hopes in her heart.

"Grand where, Yo?" Viona asked her husband's assistant who was drinking in front of the refrigerator.

"Still in his room, Madam."

"Whose friend was it? Haven't come home?"

Rio shakes. "Who came his friend sir. He just came from Ausie. Hearing the news of Lord Atma being in an accident, he became worried, so he came here to look at her."

"Friends close?"

Rio gave a quick nod. "Yes. As far as I know, that guy was a friend when you were there. You used to live in Ausie."

Viona just boasted 'oh' ria and passed by to see the garden in the backyard. Fresh mornings will definitely feel good plus beautiful scenery. Garden workers must be watering their plants in the morning hours like this. The air will cool.

The sound of laughter echoed in the Marshal's study. His hand pointed at the Marshal's face amusedly. "You're crazy! It's so bad to get a wife in such a disgusting way. There should be a very kind angel, why marry you." Rojer's laughter is getting annoying in Marshal's ears. He just kept laughing endlessly.

"Did he know this cunning way?" he asked again, there was still laughter on his face.

The marshal shook his head making him open his eyes wide, in disbelief. His face drew closer to Marshal, making sure his best friend did not brag. "Seriously he doesn't know? Until now you didn't tell her?" Marshal shook his head again. Then he laughed again very loudly. Pointing the face of Marshal with the tip of his index.

"It's so cruel to you, Mars! What if your wife finds out about this? What's he gonna do? Oww. .. he must have left you, Marshal."

"No way!" sambar Marshal with confidence. "He already loves me. It's impossible to leave me that easy. He's in love completely. How could she possibly hate me as her husband, even if she finally knew what I had done to marry her."

"Basic crazy!" Rojer slumped again until he held his stomach. Her eyes water, she rubbed them and tried to stop laughing looking at the face of Marshal who looked fed up with her response. "You made a cruel scenario without her knowledge. How could he not hate you when he knew everything you had done? Of course he would get angry and leave. I'm sure."

The marshal just fell silent, letting Rozer say anything about him. He was sure Viona wouldn't be like that. Viona was already bound to him, there was no way she could just leave.

"You set him up, Brother. Your way is very cheating. You made the drama look like his father－what was his father's name? What's your in-law's name?"

"Heru Pratama," said Marshal lazily.

"Well, there it is." Rozer looked serious again, looking at the Marshal who just fell silent. "You mendramama with Mr. Heru as if his company is bankrupt and you are the one who helped, then asked for a reward for marriage? Hmh! I hate to remember it. That's so gross. But, I feel very sorry for your wife, Mars. He's been lied to by you and his parents. You just make a drama, like it's real. You're even－"

"I did all that because I wanted to marry her," the Marshal quickly cut.

Rozer clucking. "I know ...." He breathed a rough breath. "But your wife is a good girl. You shouldn't be lied to like that, just because you want to marry her. Is there no other way to get it?"

"none. That's why I did that. She's not a vulnerable girl. He's different. And he also had a lover once. Hence, I had no other choice but to carry out that plan."

Rozer's laughter re-echoed, hitting his thighs in agitation. "You're still cheating!" he accused her of pointing at the marshal again. "Not only lie to your wife, but also fool your in-laws. What was his name?.. ah, yes, Mr. Heru. What are you poisoning his mind with until he's willing to be your scenario friend, huh?"

The marshal just turned his face, the more fed up of seeing Rozer's exaggerated response. He was cheating. But, his efforts did bear fruit and Viona is now his wife.

Marshal had also promised with his heart. Sooner or later, he would tell this lie to Viona. His wife deserves to know and Marshal hopes that Viona has no intention of leaving him when she finds out about the matter. At least just getting angry and punching him a little is okay. Origin Viona did not go and stay away, then left it and did not want to come back again.
