Because of the compulsion

Refusal

"How's my son doing, Doc?" heru asked impatiently to the doctor who had just checked on Viona.

Because Viona who is the grandee does not want to be taken to the hospital and always says it is okay, Heru forced to call a doctor to his house. He was very worried about the situation of the girl just his wayang. So, forced to oppose Viona's refusal to be examined.

"Viona needs a lot of rest. She was too exhausted and lacking in food intake" the woman's doctor told Lina and Heru.

"Get me, what Mama said too. You should eat. Can't refuse if you're being given a meal" Lina scolded Viona who was still lying down.

Viona immediately turned her face to the side. I was so scared to hear his mother's words.

"How many hours have you been late for a meal, Viona?" ask the doctor who is also her mother's best friend gently.

"Not another hour, Din. But, it's been a matter of days. He has not eaten for two days" said Lina with a little rent. Viona sighed deeply. His mother was too forthright.

The doctor named Dina was surprised. He looked at Viona with great attention. "Must eat, dong, Viona! Don't be too tired either! Not much of a thought either! What do you think, anyway, until drop gini? Thinking of a girlfriend, huh? Don't think about it. You're young, it's not good to have a lot of thoughts."

Hearing the words of Doctor Dina, Heru lowered his head. So because Viona's mind hurts like this? Viona must have thought of her words about the Marshal's offer, her inner self.

Heru was heartless and felt guilty seeing Viona. This child includes a tough girl. It rarely even hurts. But, just because of her remarks regarding the Marshal's offer, Viona got her thoughts too deep.

...

Heru sat down beside Viona who was still lying down. In the living room they were both because Lina delivered the doctor Dina who had just left to go home.

"Honey," Heru rubbed Viona's head slowly even though the child did not want to look at her and chose to turn to Heru. "for trouble ...," Heru hesitated to discuss this. Especially when Viona turned her body to face him. The tired face of his son is very obvious to make Heru's chest throbbing pain under the guilt. "You forget everything you ever said. Papa can't watch you like this."

Viona just kept quiet. Seeing Heru's face that looks sad. Viona knew her father was facing a lot of problems. Viona wants to help him but doesn't know how. Whereas if he agrees to the Marshal's offer, he still feels gambled.

"Papa hope you－"

"I need some alone time, Pa," cut Viona clean. He turned his back on Heru who exhaled heavily.

Inevitably he had to let Viona be alone first. Heru was very sorry to have said that to Viona. She felt Viona hated her and even approached her she did not want to.

Heru has done everything possible to make his company survive without having to bring casualties. But, all his efforts are nil even his company is getting more and more crisis. He was confused as to what to solve his problem with. In a way that how, while investors alone are not interested in helping him.

The only ones willing to help him were only Marshal, who unfortunately asked for a fairly burdensome reciprocal. He couldn't agree to Marshal's request if it had a bad effect on Viona. Her relationship with Viona should be fine, even if they will suffer. But it was better than he was hated by his own son.

****

"Did I hear wrong? Why did you refuse an offer from me? Are all the offers not profitable?" marshal said he was surprised by Heru's sudden arrival and said he rejected his offer.

Heru was only able to duck. He was actually tempted by the Marshal's offer and hoped that the offer could be agreed. But he couldn't just kill Viona's feelings. His daughter is worth more than the Marshal's offer and he can't possibly be selfish with his own son.

"Why did you refuse him, sir? Have you thought about it well?" Marshal still could not believe if his very tempting offer could be rejected Heru just like that. He had expected a lot and desperately wanted Heru to agree to it.

Marshal. Before he made an offer, he had expected it to be like this. There was no way anyone would agree to his offer so casually, if that was what he asked for in return for marrying his daughter. Heru was not a treasure madman who would be easily tempted, if not a circumstance that had already urged him to ask for help.

What should Marshal do now to get his daughter Heru? There's no way she's gonna kidnap him and make him a wife, is there?

"Master, are you sure? My offer only applies once" Marshal said expectantly.

Heru looks worried. From the look of his eyes it was very visible if he wanted help from the Marshal. But, his sense of responsibility as a father who should not be selfish makes him have to be willing to give up the last possible help that he will get and instead he refused. He has thought about it and will accept the consequences.

"Sorry, Sir. I thought about it carefully. Viona's feelings I can't ignore. I do not want him to consider me a father who is willing to sell him," said Heru softly. He was only able to bow with a deep sense of dilemma. The worst effects of bankruptcy will soon be felt. It wasn't the best, but at least Viona's view on Heru didn't change. Viona won't assume Heru is selling it for the company anymore.

"Geez, sir!" Rio threw the ballpoint pen to the floor violently. Tired of reminding Marshal who today seems less focused on work. Not less, but not focused on the job. "Why is this man?" rio said in frustration.

Marshal just stared at Rio in wonder. "Why you?" He even asked back to make Rio growl like a madman.

"Master, can you not, sir focus on the job first? You have already signed the file twice wrongly. Looky!" Rio pressed the file sheet that was in front of Marshal with his index finger. "Master signed it on the company logo, not where it should be" Rio growled with a loud tone.

Marshal noticed Rio's index finger on his file. For a moment he was still silent. A second later, however, he slid off on his own. "Astag."

Marshal looked at Rio who was shuffling his hair in frustration. His assistant looked like a depressed person.

"Master why?" rio asked after he calmed down more.

Exhaling his coarse breath, Marshal immediately stood up from his seat. He walked towards the large glass wall beside his desk. Look at the tall and magnificent buildings that are parallel to his company. "Heru Pratama rejected my offer" he said slowly. Still looking out the window. Put both hands in the pocket of the pants.

Rio only ber'oh' ria. He wasn't surprised at all. He's a little upset. So, because of that Marshal is not focused on working?

"Unprofessional," he murmured.

"Is my offer less tempting?"

Rio who was tidying up the sheet of paper crossed out his logo, turned to Marshal for a moment. "Not a problem with the offer, but on condition," Rio said. Then he continued to redo the other files that had been signed.

Marshal turned his body, facing Rio. "What happened to the conditions? I'm just filing one no more. My condition is that I only want to legally marry her child. Where's problem?"

Rio's high blood relapsed again. Why is Marshal lola like this? "Master, your terms are too heavy. Of course it is not strange if master Heru rejects him," Rio said trying as calmly as possible not to get emotional in front of his own master. "Somehow, why do you have to insist on marrying your daughter? Remember Miss Amanda, sir! Want to kill him?"

Seeing the silent Marshal. Rio was just a head-scarf. More astonished by the mind of his Master who is getting more and more strange behavior. Although Rio already knew the reason Marshal wanted to marry Viona. But, still, it made no sense and this Master was too exaggerated when recalling the past.

"Doubtful," Rio muttered lowered his head to take the ballpoint pen he had thrown.
