Because of the compulsion

There's still hope

"The patient can go home tomorrow, his condition has begun to recover."

Fatma nodded at the words of the doctor who had just finished checking the state of the Joints.

"Then, excuse me, ma'am," the doctor smiled and walked out of the room where Joints were now being treated.

Fatma sat next to Joints bed, stroking her head fondly, "So the doctor said you can go home tomorrow," Jendi just smiled faintly over her mother's words.

Joints condition has begun to improve after being visited by Frans and Aness. Now Jendi's heart is very sick to feel the heartbreak of marriage left by Viona, the idol of the heart, now he began to calm down after hearing the explanation of Viona's friend.

Indeed, Aness and Frans this morning visited Joints to the hospital, according to orders from Viona. They are very worried about the condition of Joints, once they know Joints drop after the wedding of Viona.

The two friends of the Marshal's wife came not only to visit, but also explained everything to Joints, about the reason Viona married Marshal and also to convey an apology to Jendi, representing Viona.

Everything they put on the Joints. Starting from the reason Viona got married and also Viona's desire so that Jendi does not see her again. Obviously Jendi did not accept to know that, especially when she knew if Viona married Marshal because she was forced, it was very unfortunate by her.

But it's all happened. However, Joints were not discouraged, in the recesses of his heart still harboring a deep sense of love for Viona. And knowing this, Jendi seemed to have a bright light back, that she still had a chance to get Viona, even though she was married.

Because Jendi knew, if Viona was forced to marry a Marshal and it was impossible to love her current husband, right? And it was likely that if Joints could still have Viona back, he thought.

Vino sat with his parents in silence. They ate dinner in silence, busy with their own thoughts.

"No housewife feels lonely, yes." chirps Vino break the silence.

"Yes, Mama is Viona's miss. What is he doing, now? Is she okay?" hearing Lina's words, they fell silent again until the silence returned. They stopped her chewing with a grim-looking face.

"We shouldn't have lied to Viona like this. Papa feels very guilty with him," said Heru softly.

Silence back, lost their appetite. Recollecting unfortunately the fate of the youngest who was forced to marry Marshal made them again feel guilty because there was a big lie that Viona did not know behind her marriage.

"You guys take it easy, I'm sure the Marshal treated Viona well. Viona will be fine there" said Vino.

"Yes, hopefully," Heru nodded his head, holding the same hope.

"Mom would like to meet Viona, Pa. We'll see him tomorrow, yeah!" Lina held Heru's arm, "Mama misses her."

Heru nodded and resumed his mouthful which was half over, "Yes, tomorrow if Papa has time, we'll look at him."

Hearing her, Lina smiled in excitement, she already missed her youngest daughter terribly.

Marshal entered the room with his hands carrying two brown paperbags.

"Lho, you haven't slept?" marshal asked Viona who was sitting in the bed.

"Eh, sir," the surprised Viona immediately stood up and bowed her head.

"Why haven't you slept?" marshal asked back then he approached Viona.

"I'm waiting for you, sir," Viona reasoned, in fact she felt uncomfortable being at her in-laws' house, and again she couldn't have slept first ahead of the Marshal.

Marshal only sighed, then he gave Viona a paperbag, "Now, change clothes for you to sleep on." Viona accepted it with raised eyebrows.

I didn't ask to bring a shirt to Mr. Marshal, but why did he give me a change of clothes?

Ah, but it's okay. Even this is good, because I'm in need of it too, inner Viona.

"Here!" Viona was jumped when the Marshal suddenly pulled her body. "Open my shirt!" Viona who was still shocked, nervously opened one by one the buttons of the Marshal shirt.

"I'm gonna take a shower," Shirt's off, just stay in his pants. Marshal walked towards the bathroom followed by Viona behind him who was carrying a Marshal shirt.

Why not just take off her shirt in the bathroom, if she ends up going to the bathroom too, said Viona.

After finishing preparing the water and towels for the Marshal, Viona was about to come out, but her hand was suddenly pulled by the Marshal to hit her sturdy body making Viona jump in shock.

"Where are you going?"

"Em.. come out, sir," Viona lowered her head not daring to stare into the sharp eyeballs of Marshal's. It feels very nervous to be in such a close position.

"Don't you just take a shower with me?" Viona looks up settled Marshal with round eyes. How could he possibly want to bathe together with the Marshal, that should not happen and Viona did not want that to happen.

"No, Mister. I'll be after Mister." Marshal looked at Viona fixedly, his lips forming a smile that was hard to decipher.

Viona took two steps back. He wants to get away from the marshal and get out soon. But just as he was about to turn around, Marshal had already pulled his waist, and,

Cup

Viona's eyes are round, Marshal kisses her on the lips.

"Yes, you can come out. I won't force you if you don't want to shower together." Viona was still silent, glued to her place. The feeling of shock was also upset still felt. Why Marshal always seems to kiss Viona without permission and again that makes Viona upset, Marshal always acts normal, as if he did nothing.

Viona finally regained her senses, she immediately turned her back, walking out with a slight run. Marshal smiled, his head twinkling at his wife's behavior.

When I came out of the bathroom, I heard a cell phone ringing. Viona immediately searched for the origin of her voice because she was sure that it was ringing her phone.

Dirogohnya sling bag that is on the nightstand, beside the bed. It turned out to be true, it was the ringing of his phone.

The name of her father who called, Viona immediately shifted the green panel. "Hello, Assalamualaikum, Pa?" greet Viona with pleasure.

"Vaalaikumsalam, Deck. What are you now?"

"Not anymore, anyway. What was? Tumben Papa called."

"Are you okay there? Mama nanyain you continue. You're not papa, are you?"

"I'm not papa. Aki here is fine. You guys are healthy in there, right?"

"Alhamdulillah. We're healthy here too."

"Syukrlah," Viona is very happy to know that her family is okay. And Heru asked her many rights. Starting from the Marshal's treatment of Viona, whether she was treated well or not. And Viona answered honestly. If all this time Marshal did treat her well, regardless of the word that calls Viona the servant, it was not Viona revealed. He didn't want his father to be sad.

The conversation on the phone was going on happily. Viona told Heru everything. About her household as well and Heru reminds Viona to be a good wife and devoted husband.

Viona glanced towards the open bathroom door. The Marshal appears there using a black bathrobe. Her still thin hair made Viona fascinated for a moment.

"Pa, I hope, yes," said Viona slowly, "tomorrow I call again."

"Oh, Marshal's done taking his bath, huh? Yaudah, Papa close first. Inget, be a good wife!"

"Yes, Pa. Bye, I love Papa."

"Bye, sweetheart. Say hello to Papa to Marshal. Assalaamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam," Viona turned off her dialing connection. Put the phone back in the bag.

"Call from whom?" Marshal walked over to Viona.

"My father, sir." Marshal just nodded then sat on the bedside, still using his bathrobe.

"Which book?"

"Eh, um, sorry sir. I haven't prepared it yet" Viona cursed her negligence. Why did he forget to prepare the Marshal clothes and even get busy calling Heru?

"Pick up the clothes!" Viona nodded and immediately picked it up.

"So Papa left a greeting for Master" Viona said softly as she buttoned the Marshal's pajamas.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Say my regards to her too." Viona nodded, "Well, sir."

"Come, sleep! I'm tired," Marshal got on the bed, but he turned back because Viona was just dian in his place. "why? Come, sleep!"

"Emmm.. Sir, I tid－"

"You slept with me!" Marshal pulls Viona's hand to get on the bed. However, Viona instead pulled back her hand and moved away making the Marshal frown in astonishment, "You want to argue with me? I told you, you slept with me. Why even－"

"I'll clean myself up first, sir." Marshal was silent for a moment, "Oh, change your clothes and come back quickly!" Viona passed to the bathroom with a paper bag from the Marshal.

Viona came out of the bathroom in a baby blue nightgown just knee-length.

The marshal took his eyes off his phone to glance at Viona for a moment, he smiled, "That's Rio's dress that's picky though. But why is it so short?"

Viona looked at the confused Marshal. Her clothes were only knee-length, but Viona felt this was not too short and natural. She even had a nightgown that was shorter than the one she was wearing right now. But why did Marshal look at Viona with such a strange look. Is there something wrong with the shirt? Viona looked down, watching her clothes.

Nothing strange, inner Viona.

Marshal snapped his finger, asking Viona to come closer. But Viona just pegged on the spot. He was confused and did not want to sleep with the Marshal anymore. But this time he had no choice. Does he have to sleep on a couch?

Actually Viona began to feel anxious if she had to sleep with Marshal. Especially if he remembers Rahma's words, he becomes afraid of himself. Does he have to do it now?

"Why is he silent? Here, I'm sleepy" said Marshal while keeping his phone on the nightstand.

Viona approached the bed. But he only fell silent again while looking at the Marshal who was lying down and was looking at him. "Sir, I sleep on the couch, yes," he said softly.

Marshal glared at him, "No. You sleep here!" Marshal patted the part on his side.

"No, Mister. I'll make up, yes," please again. But Marshal was heard sighing harshly, "Why would you sleep in a sofa? Sleeping in bed is better. The bed section is also still wide for us to sleep together, Why should the sofa?"

Viona fell silent. He couldn't possibly tell Marshal the reason. And Viona does not want to repeat the ones that have been a few days. Where if sleeping with Marshal, Viona must be hugged and Marshal is always looking for opportunities to do more like kissing her. It made Viona a little anxious.

"Mind coincidences. Come sleep with me!"
