Because of the compulsion

Negotiating

"You're disappointing!"

"Mama?" The marshal pecked at the doorway when he saw Rahma and Lina were already in his house. The mothers stared intently at Viona and the incoming Marshal. "When is Mama here? Why not tell me if you want to come?"

They're approaching. When the Marshal will kiss Rahma's hand and Viona wants to hug Lina, both of them get rejected to make her feel astonished.

"Don't pretend to be nice in front of us!" rahma said firmly.

The couple looked at each other. They did not understand why Rahma said that. And Lina continued to look at them with horror. Looked angry. What's the matter? They really don't understand the situation now.

"Why did you split the room?!" snapped Rahma.

Marshal stunned. Glancing at Viona who did not look surprised at all and instead put her shoulder back to her husband's gaze.

"Haha ... What's this mom talking about, anyway?" Marshal laughed insipidly to dodge. Viona just silently looked at them until the Marshal grabbed Viona's shoulder closer to her. "Honey, ma－"

"Don't do drama!" sergeant Rahma was angry. The marshal instantly fell silent in shock with his mother's anger. "Why did you split up the rooms? Explain it!"

Marshal had to swallow his saliva with great difficulty. His body was tense with all sorts of thoughts. What should he say now? There's no way he's telling the truth, right?

Viona was silent. Just let Marshal explain because that is also his decision. Marshal who started, then he also has to finish. If everything is revealed, Viona can what? He was only obedient to the Marshal and had no right to interfere in his affairs, right? If Rahma knew the reason was because of Amanda, there would definitely be a fun continuation of the story later. That way, it might just be a way for Viona to be free from this marriage.

"Can you explain everything? So as not to be a misunderstanding," said Lina more calmly. He also felt disappointed, but he couldn't be so bad to think before he knew the truth.

The marshal glanced back at Viona, asking for help. But, his wife was too indifferent and just speechless. With so relaxed, Viona even smiled at Rahma. Slowly approached and kissed Rahma's hand suddenly until her in-laws were shocked.

"Sit inside, Ma! It's not good to talk here." Viona then invites her mother and father-in-law to sit in the living room leaving Marshal who looks confused looking for an excuse.

The daughter-in-law of Heru could not think quickly looking for an excuse to dodge. What should she tell her mother and father-in-law? It was also strange to see Viona's calm demeanor. Marshal did not understand, why Viona did not look at all shocked or confused.

"So, why did you split the room?" urge Rahma again when the new Marshal is sitting on the sofa.

Unsettled, Marshal saw Lina and Rahma alternately. He doesn't know what to wear. Because if they tell the truth, they will be angry with him.

The two women who made the reservation began to impatiently wait for clarity. Various bad thoughts are already in the mind. They were very disappointed and unexpected when they came to the house to visit their son, the married couple did not exist. They looked for her and asked the house worker, she said, they were not home.

A brilliant idea came from Rahma and invited Lina to make a surprise for their children.

The plan is they want to decorate his room to look romantic and give the impression like a newlywed room in general. Think of it as a honeymoon replacement that seems not planned by the two children.

But, when he told the housekeeper and asked for help, one of the servants asked, "Sorry, Madam, whose room will be adorned, mistress or master?"

Rahma's confused. Lina was like that too. They did not understand the meaning of the servant. Why should I ask like that, is it not clear that the newlyweds room was decorated, but why is there a word 'mistress or master'?

Rahma explains back if they will decorate Marshal and Viona's room. But, again the waiter asked, "Sorry, Madam ... do you want both on the tail?"

Silent for a moment. The feelings of the mothers began to be unpleasant with a foreboding mind. Various possibilities can occur. They decided to check it out for themselves and how surprised they were when they were about to enter the main room, the maid said, "Here is the master's room, if the madam is over there." The waiter pointed to another room not adjacent to the main room.

His feelings get mixed. So, their son split the room? What the hell's going on? Rahma really did not understand and was very distrustful. Unlike Lina, in her mind there was an approximate possibility of that happening. Maybe because they got married suddenly. Especially Viona who felt forced. But he did not say what his brain thought to Rahma. Because of the irony it does not know how the reason for the marriage of Marshal and Viona could happen. Marshal had warned Heru's family never to tell the reason for the marriage to his family.

And now, when they asked for an explanation, the two children were silent. No one explained any of them making Rahma even more furious. "Why should we split the room? What's up with you guys? Is there something you're hiding?"

Lina just took a slow breath looking at the nervous and unsettled Marshal. But, Viona seemed to just be silent like she was not disturbed by this problem. Lina was getting confused, was there with her daughters-in-law?

"Chal?"

Marshal smiled awkwardly at Rahma who had started to get emotional. He was still confused as to what reason to wear. Turning his gaze at Viona asking for help, Marshal hinted through the look in his eyes.

Breathe deeply before speaking. Viona looked at her mother and in-laws alternately. She smiles. "I'm the one who wants us to separate rooms" he said slowly.

The two mothers looked at Viona sharply in astonishment. Same with Marshal. Why did Viona say that? Has Viona been concocting excuses with various lies?

A little understanding with still a sense of disappointment and disbelief. Lina's mind immediately thought that Viona had not been able to accept this marriage until she asked to separate rooms. However, Rahma grew increasingly clueless and again urged her daughter-in-law to explain.

"Ma, I'm busy working on the thesis. It takes full concentration when working. So, I asked to separate the rooms first so that I have peace of mind and the script is quickly completed if there are no distractions" Viona explained calmly. Then, he turned his gaze to Lina. "Mama also knows, right, if I have trouble concentrating on doing something when something is disturbing?" viona asked her mother who was between still confused and did not believe Viona's reason. But, Lina still nodded.

"What's the problem with doing the thesis by separating rooms, honey? According to mama it makes no sense," Rahma said in disbelief, "it is precisely if you are together that Marshal can help you work on the script."

Viona threw her breath out violently. He looked at it with the face of his in-laws. "That's exactly the case, Ma," He put on the clearest face possible. Looks like a kid who's sulking funny. "Chal instead of bantuin, but instead ngusilin. There was something he did to break my concentration. I can't do it with him." Viona leaned back against the sofa weakly. His lips were made as regrettably as possible.

Rahma looked at the silent Marshal. "Chal ..," She doesn't like hearing complaints from her daughter-in-law. If so, it means here that the wrong Marshal because he cannot understand his wife. "do not like that! Kasian mama's daughter-in-law," said Rahma gently, but contained a million meanings behind her words.

Marshal. Following the groove made by his wife. Although the reason that Viona expressed was absurd, but she still appreciated it because Rahma always believed in her daughter-in-law. "Sorry, Ma. His ashes he gushed again if I bothered him," he approached Viona and chewed his wife's cheeks with anxiety. "Sorry, Honey. Next time I won't bother you."

Viona just grunted. Shift your eyes immediately. Between pretending to be sulky or disgusted with her husband's attitude.

Now Rahma and Lina are smiling to see him. They began to believe, but there was still doubt and anxiety in each other's minds.

"It's really just because of that, right? You guys don't have any problems?" rahma asked with a little suspicion.

"Yes, you're not hiding anything from us, are you?" that's Lina's asking.

Marshal and Viona looked at each other. Viona smiled at the Marshal. I don't know what it means, but that smile is enough to make Marshal confused because Viona doesn't talk. Marshal thought after Viona smiled, his wife would chimed in on their question like that. But in fact it's not. Viona let Marshal answer her.

"Nothing, Ma. We're doing just fine. Our problem, yes, is just that" said Marshal, "but calm down, every night we sleep together. We split up the room during the day. The room was just for Viona to do the thesis to be quieter, the rest of us still slept together. Yeah, don't you, honey?" Viona nodded convincingly because that was the reality.

The mothers breathed a sigh of relief. Give thanks because their children have no problems while at home. They only worry if their children hide a problem and end up not well.

As all the reasons for the lie were finished being explained, they continued with small talk until the afternoon, the two thick-headed mothers came home.

After driving his mother and father-in-law to the front, Marshal returned to the house. Embracing his wife's shoulder that directly changed the attitude that Marshal did not like.

So, that smile that was engraved earlier, just a charade? guess Marshal in the heart.

After arriving at the Marshal's room, Viona did not speak much. She prepared water and clothes for her husband after Marshal said she wanted to take a bath.

Marshal only sighed looking at Viona's unpleasant attitude. He recalled the incident at the cafe when Marshal caught him talking to Joints.

The marshal was furious, but he immediately walked out of the cafe when he saw Viona and Joints who were even holding hands. Then, she told Frans to call Viona because she didn't want her emotions to overflow in there.

And until now, that problem he had not been able to forget. He also could not scold Viona for her dislike because during the return trip, the two simply fell silent. They spoke again only when Rahma and Lina were present. That's because of the drama.

"I want to talk," Marshal pulled Viona's hand that just came out of the bathroom. "Why did you meet him?"

Viona looked at the face of Marshal intently. There was a flash of anger in her husband's eyes. "What's the matter, sir? Is Mister angry?"

"Yes!" marshal replied with a yell, "I'm angry. I don't like you seeing him again. You're my wife, it's not good to still meet that man."

Look at her husband closely. "But just chatting, sir."

"I don't like it! Has your attitude changed because of it too?!"

Viona. He's getting closer to the marshal. She held her hand around her husband's neck unexpectedly. Then, he smiled with a thousand implied meanings behind it. "I'm sorry, sir," he said gently right in front of the Marshal's face that had to look down a bit at him.

For some reason, the emotions of Marshal evaporated just like that. The hand that coiled around his neck was so spoiled, making Marshal distrustful of his wife's attitude. But he didn't waste the opportunity when their faces were close together like that. Immediately he brought his face closer with the look of his eyes fixed on his wife's lips.

"Master, no!" Viona rewinded her face immediately making Marshal disappointed. "I want to get you to negotiate" Viona said quickly. Still holding her hand around her husband's neck.

Marshal's eyebrows linked in confusion. "Negotiation?"

His wife nodded cutely and smiled back. One hand began to rub the jaw of Marshal sensually until her husband was immersed in comfort with his eyes closed. Feel the soft strokes by the strokes from his wife's hand.

"I will always cover up your relationship with Miss Amanda, but on condition ...," Marshal opened his eyes again. Waiting for the continuation of his sentence. "Master should allow me to have a relationship with another man."
