Because of the compulsion

Because of the compulsion
Husband's lover



The atmosphere of the kitchen was silent as he extended his hand to the Marshal's wife.


"Ha-hello, Miss!" Viona accepted her hand in doubt.


  Amanda, Marshal's lover came to the house, for what? Marshal is not home. What's he coming for?


Amanda smiled at Viona who was still wearing an apron. Standing dumbstruck, still in disbelief and bewildered by his arrival.


"You're cooking, huh?" Viona nodded. Smiling with awkwardness. Not knowing how to deal with her husband's lover.


"Will Miss see you?" ask Viona quietly. Between sober and no, it's hard to believe that she's now dealing with Amanda.


"No. I came to see you."


Viona frowned strongly. Indicate yourself. "Meeting me?" Amanda nodded with confidence. He came to meet Viona. Because he also knows that Marshal is not currently at home.


Viona fell silent, looking at Amanda intensely. It never occurred to her mind that she was going to meet Amanda. But this afternoon, Amanda came to see him. Wh-wh-what for? Will Amanda get mad at him and curse Viona who is married to a Marshal? Or will Viona be casted as an actor and taken all out?


"What are you cooking?"


"Eh?" Viona was awakened from her daydream. It turned out that Amanda was watching him.


  Viona who was still shocked by Amanda's arrival, she could only fall silent in confusion. However, after all, he had to be brave to be able to interact well.


I don't know why he's so awkward and doesn't know what to do now. This is the second meeting after the wedding day. This is the first time Amanda has greeted him.  She was so friendly to Viona that she confused herself. Why doesn't Amanda look angry or want to abuse her? If it wasn't for hitting Viona, then why would Amanda come to see her?


Viona's mind may be too critical. All he knew, if fellow women were tied to one man, then one of them would definitely crash, berate, cuss, even knock each other down. Like in sinetron.


But why does Amanda look so ordinary? Would Amanda not be angry if Marshal married Viona? If you're not angry, why would Amanda allow Marshal to marry another woman? Shouldn't they be dating, Marshal should have married Amanda instead of forcing Viona to accept her offer.


Viona shook her head. A lot of complicated questions ran through his mind. He had no idea what reason Marshal wanted to marry her instead of marrying his own girlfriend.


Maybe I mostly watch soap operas. Mind, oh, mind. I have to be just positive tinking. Maybe he came just to know me instead of scolding me. Yeah, hopefully, Viona's inner.


"Miss, we better not talk here." Viona smiled at her friendly smile. "We talked in the other room. It's not good to be here." Viona was really feeling bad. He is currently in the kitchen. Should a guest talk in the kitchen?


"It's okay. Here alone," he said kindly with a smile made Viona more misbehavior.


  Why is Marshal's lover so friendly to him? Was he not angry at Viona who had already snatched the Marshal from him?


"You go first!" tell Viona to some waitress who's helping her cook. "I'll talk to Miss Amanda." The waiters leave the kitchen leaving Viona and Amanda alone.


 "What will Miss Amanda do to Madam?"


"Why is he here? What business is he doing coming to see the madam?"


"Did mister Marshal not break his relationship with Miss Amanda before marrying the young mistress?"


"Why did Miss Amanda get here? Does he not know, mister Marshal is married?"


That's how I broke the waiters who saw Amanda's coming. They know Amanda's a Marshal's lover. Amanda often visits the house that was taken by Marshal. They think Marshal and Amanda's relationship is over before Marshal marries Viona. But why would Amanda come to Marshal's house again?


Because it really feels bad if you have to accept guests in the kitchen, Viona wants to open the apron and invite Amanda to talk in the living room. However, Amanda forbade it, "Just continue cooking it!"


"But it is not good to talk here Miss," said Viona increasingly feel bad if there are guests but invited to talk in the kitchen. Where's ethics?


"It's okay. I want to see your cooking skills." Amanda sat herself on the chair in front of the bar table.


  See the gastronomy? Does he doubt Viona's ability to process food? or did he want to test Viona?


All right, Viona just obey. He resumed his activities. But still feeling bad if you have to continue activities and ignore Amanda just like that. "Do you mind if I continue my work?"


"No. Just continue!"


"Did Miss come alone?" ask Viona kindly. He took the vegetables he would cook.


"Yes, I came here alone. The marshal asked me to come see you."


Viona stopped her hand that was slicing a carrot. He looked at Amanda.


Why did you ask him to see me? Do you intend to make us quarrel after meeting, or to introduce her boyfriend to me? inner Viona.


"Master asked Miss to come?"


Amanda nodded. "And also I want to get to know you," he continued making Viona frown.


  Meet me? wh-wh-what for? he came here just to meet me? Or did he want to milk me for seizing his girlfriend?... ah, you know. Dizziness also thought, Viona's inner back.


"I want to know you." Amanda observed Viona's hand slicing the carrot back. "Can we get acquainted?"


Viona stopped her activities. Keep the knife and face Amanda. "Of course, Miss."


"alright. We'll get to know each other from now on."


"What are you cooking?"


"Some regular home cooking." Viona turned to stir the soup in the pot that was still boiling on the stove.


"Why are you cooking by yourself? There are a lot of servants. You can tell them."


"I'm here no other activity, Miss. This is also my job." Viona tasted a spoonful of her homemade soup.


  Can her current job be described as a wife? Or is it his duty as a servant? In essence, Viona did all that not only because she had to do it as a wife or a servant, but also because in that house she had no other activities.


"Do you cook every day?"


"Yes, I cook every day." Viona turned off the stove because the soup was ripe.


"Does Miss want to taste my cooking?" viona asked hesitantly to Amanda who was looking at her from the bar table. "Can I?" ask Amanda to look enthusiastic.


"Of course, I can." Viona smiled. "Miss wants to try it?"


"I want to." Amanda nodded her head.


Viona took out a small bowl and pouted her homemade Soup.


"Please try, Miss!" He hands over the small bowl, stored at the bar table in front of Amanda. "I'm sorry if it doesn't taste good. I'm not a cook."


"Thank you." Amanda tasted a spoonful of the sauce. "Emm. delicious." He muttered and smiled then finished his Soup.


Finished cooking, Viona washes all the cookware. Then approached Amanda who was still sitting in front of the bar table. "Drink, Miss!" Viona puts a glass of orange juice in front of Amanda.


"Sit down!"


Viona sits herself next to the seat Amanda is sitting on.


"I'm here to get to know you well. And there are some things I want to talk about as well." Amanda glanced around making sure that no one else would eavesdrop.


"Marshal must have told you everything, right? You know I'm his girlfriend?" Viona just nodded. Shut up and just listen. "Marshal said, you don't mind our relationship, is that right?" Viona remained silent.


  Did he come here to confirm this? What was the real purpose of him coming to me? inner Viona.


"Do you really mind our relationship?" Viona shook her head quickly and smiled. "No. I have absolutely no objection to your relationship. And I don't think that's my business. So I don't have the right to object."


"Good if that's it. And I hope you won't tell anyone about my relationship with Marshal. And don't let Marshal's parents know that me and Marshal are still in a relationship."


Viona is silent, understand Amanda's words because yesterday, Marshal also said the same thing.


  And if for Marshal's parents who should not know, Viona understands that if Marshal's parents know about this, Marshal will certainly be reviled by his family. How not, she is already married to Viona but still in a relationship with another woman. Where's mind? If a moral man would definitely not do such a thing, would he?


"And so," Amanda looked closely at Viona. "I don't want Marshal to touch you. So I'm here also to make sure that you and the Marshal don't stay in one room."


"We do live in a different room, Miss," said Viona quickly.


"I want to make sure of it." It seems Amanda doesn't believe Viona's words. "I want to see your room."


"If Miss wants to see it, I'll show it to Miss. We are different rooms." Viona takes Amanda upstairs. To show that Viona and Marshal really do not stay one room.


"I want to see the Marshal's room. Whether you have your stuff or not." Amanda holding the doorknob of Marshal's room makes Viona so anxious. He did not dare to go into the Marshal's room if there was no such important need, because it was ruled by the Marshal, or because it cleared it. Besides that, Viona did not dare to go into the Marshal's room. Especially when Marshal is not there.


After a while, "Where's your room?" Amanda's out of the marshal's room.


"There's Miss." Viona takes Amanda to her room.


Amanda looked around. And then he smiled happily. "I just want to remind you to never sleep with a Marshal! I don't want you to have physical contact. She is my boyfriend, she loves me. I don't want him to touch you. And don't you ever tease her!"


  Viona just listened to what Amanda said. He was confused as to how it should be now. In fact, even though Marshal and Viona are different rooms, Marshal always asks Viona to sleep in his room. Amanda doesn't let Marshal touch Viona, but in fact Marshal even...


"He never touched you, did he?" Viona silence. What does he have to answer? The marshal never touched her in any further sense. Like having an intimate. But, Marshal had often kissed her and even hugged her. That includes touching, doesn't it?


Amanda glared away at Viona's face sharply. "Don't tell me Marshal ever touched you?" Viona nodded quickly. "N-no, Miss. Master never touched me," he said quickly made Amanda sigh in relief and nod her head. "It's good that he never touched you."


Amanda's spotlight turned sharp like a cat's eye when she saw a rat roaming around. "I hope he'll never touch you. And," Amanda glanced at Viona from head to toe. "you should never tempt the Marshal to touch you!"


"If I knew you two slept together or touched each other, I'd crush you!" he was with a threatening tone.


  Viona was only able to bow in silence. Amanda's attitude was scary. Amanda was very friendly. Especially when in the kitchen, Amanda's attitude is very good on Viona. But right now, Amanda's threats are stabbing in the head.


It turns out she's two-faced, Inner Viona.


"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Viona nodded slowly. "So, don't you ever come near my girlfriend! And also, never do you act more to be able to take Marshal's heart. Because Marshal is only for me! Mine!"


But he's my husband, Viona continued.
