"Sister, seriously that man's brother's husband?" Vivie whispered as she embraced Verda's arm.
"Are I joking?" Verda asked back.
The two of them followed in the footsteps of father and mother, climbing the second floor stairs to head to the lounge on the floor. The lounge used to be a study room for Verda and Vivie so that dad and mom could easily keep an eye on them.
In the room the red sofa is arranged in a semicircle and on the wall decorated with crystal flowers collection Bu Eva.
Verda immediately sat down with Vivie, while their father and mother wore expressions that were difficult to describe.
"Verda, how come you're suddenly married to that guy?" ask mother.
"Mom, Dad, didn't I say I was getting married?" Verda looked at her father and mother in turn.
Mr. Daus and Ms. Eva again threw eyes at each other.
"Sister, if you're married, why all of a sudden?" ask Vivie.
"Vie, I didn't get married all of a sudden, didn't I say I was getting married? But it seems you're the one who can't believe that I'm married, Vie," Verda replied.
"Sir Verda, of course I can't believe Big Brother is actually married! No wind, no rain, suddenly Big Brother bring the man home!" sergeant Vivie.
"Vie, weren't you the one who asked me to bring the man who was my husband to come to this house?" sergeant Verda. "I've even shown authentic proof that Vedra and I are officially married, what else do I need?" ask Verda.
"Can't, Verda!" the father's sergeant in a raised voice, stopped the feud between his two daughters.
Verda and Vivie were silent. Mr. Daus heaved a heavy sigh.
"It can't be this way, Verda! Can't!" Mr. Daus repeated his words.
"What can't be, Dad?" ask Verda.
"Verda, this marriage of yours is definitely not acceptable to me!" said Mr. Daus.
Verda was silent, staring at the glint of her father's eyes that were gleaming furiously.
"Dad," Eva patted her husband's arm gently, hoping he could control her emotions.
"Why can't you accept my marriage?" ask Verda.
"Verda, how can I accept your marriage and I never know what kind of man your husband is?" Mr. Daus put emphasis on every word he said.
"Verda, what your father said is true. Where can you marry a man whose origins are unclear. The man who is not Dad and Mom know well, both his background to his family. Don't be like the one who buys a cat in a sack," Miss Eva threw her opinion.
"Mom, Dad, I really don't care about the background, after all Vedra has been nice to me, that's enough" Verda said.
"Dad, Mother, I'm an adult, and I have the right to choose and decide for myself who is the man I want to be my husband" Verda continued.
"Well, how does Abim go?" ask Miss Eva. "Abim is even willing to cancel her wedding for you, Verda."
"Mother, it's Abim's business, not mine" Verda replied.
Ms. Eva and Mr. Daus looked back.
"Sister, did Big Brother marry that man because he did not want to refer to Abim?" ask Vivie.
"Vie, how many times do I have to tell you to understand? There is no place for ex!" verda replied firmly.
Mr. Daus looked at Verda who seemed to insist on his choice. It would seem like it would be very useless if they were to insist on each other like this.
"Alright, Verda, I will respect your choice, but that doesn't mean I accept your marriage" Mr. Daus said.
"What do you mean, Dad?" ask Verda.
"Dad wants to know, as good as the man you choose until you are not willing to accept the choice of Father," replied Mr. Daus.
"Dad!" sergeant Verda.
"Mother, please prepare lunch, we have lunch together with the man of Verda's choice" Mr. Daus said.
Verda stiffened, not knowing what her father was planning.
I won't let that man have the daughter I love the most!
Then accompanied by a musical background in the form of a hammer drum along with thunderous lightning, closed with a piece of mustache song imagining how cruel you are.

There is a gazebo above the fish pond. On the left wing of the gazebo there is an ornamental fish pond containing large koi fish with various colors, busy swimming quietly around the miniature fountain. While on the right wing, there are dozens of freshwater fish, ranging from goldfish, tilapia, with various sizes swimming in a pond with a waterfall decoration.
Vedra of course stunned by the concept of the garden behind Verda's parents' house. The grasses are neatly arranged with a large collection of ornamental plants whose value is estimated to reach tens of millions.
It is natural because the Verda family comes from among the people. I don't know why Vedra became insecure with this social divide.
Once Bi Sri finished arranging the dishes in the middle of the gazebo, Pak Daus and Bu Eva immediately sat in the gazebo, followed by Verda and Vivie.
"Sit down" said Mr. Daus with a commanding tone towards Vedra.
"Okay, sir," said Vedra.
"There is no need to call me Father, I am not your Father" said Mr. Daus in a sharp tone.
"Dad," Verda glared at Mr. Daus.
"What's up, Verda? It's true, your father is not his father!" pak Daus's Cibir.
Vedra immediately took off her shoes and immediately sat down cross-legged. His current gaze was fixed on the various dishes presented before him.
"What's your name?" asked Mr. Daus while raising a cold gaze towards Vedra.
"My name is Vedra" replied Vedra.
"Well, her name looks like Verda's sister" said Vivie.
Yes, their names are similar, they used to even be mistaken for the same person.
"What's your job?" ask Mr. Daus.
Verda cast a gaze towards Vedra.
Don't let them know we're one office!
That was the meaning of Verda's gaze captured by Vedra.
"This vedra is a freelance model, Dad," Verda replied quickly.
Vedra was stunned to hear Verda's words.
"'Models?" ask Miss Eva.
"'Model various animal magazines?! Khukyu!" sir Daus's lips are so cynical.
"Haha, my goodness, this father!" Verda laughed as she glared at Mr. Daus.
"What are you really modeling?" ask Vivie to know.
Vedra doesn't know what to answer. Why did Verda answer so haphazardly?
"Freedom model, Vie!" sahut Verda's.
"Yes, what does a loose model mean? Adult magazine models are models too!" hatch Vivie.
"Vivie!" Verda glared at Vivie.
Ms. Eva and Mr. Daus were surprised to hear Vivie's words.
"Adult magazine model?!" spray Mr. Daus.
Vedra was stunned, at this moment her mind was instantly blank.
