The Marrying Bet

Coalesced

Viceroy looked at Vara who could only remain silent the whole way home. Viceroy knew that his mother had gone too far, but his name had test materials, it was up to his mother. 

"I don't like to make small talk" Virda said. "I still don't recognize you as a daughter-in-law, I want my daughter's best friend from my family" Virda continued.

Vara just silently looked at the Queen Mother who seemed to show her power.

"I'm asking you to be combined!" virda's words made Vara dumbfounded.

Viceroy seemed tense, wanting to feel like he was laughing but afraid of sin. Viceroy had great respect for his mother, after all he was not a dissident child. He has succeeded like this also thanks to the prayers of his mother. Right now, it is a dilemma. His mother gave him the choice to choose between his mother and his wife. A choice so heavy for Viceroy. He loved the mother who had raised him for over thirty years. His mother worked hard to become the backbone after the death of his father. Mother who always prayed for success and success for him.

Vara is his newly married wife. He loved his wife so much, even though their togetherness was still in a matter of months. However, Viceroy was sure to spend the rest of his life just for Vara.

Vara reviewed her smile and tried to stay calm.

"Please, I accept if it should be combined, I don't mind," Vara replied smiling.

Vara stared softly at Viceroy.

"Viceroy, I accept whatever your decision is" Vara said.

Viceroy smiled, as if he could read Vara's mind. Apparently Vara really remembers what Viceroy said when he had to face his mother.

...*****...

Vara's daydreams are spoiled when Viceroy kisses Vara's dreamy lips while sitting in the gazebo of their home yard.

"You're really very thoughtful, Vara, I thought you'd revolt when my mother told you to be mixed up" Viceroy said.

"Viceroy, didn't you say to yourself that I should be wise before your mother? If it's one of the tests your mother gave me, it means I have to accept, don't you think?"

Viceroy smiled, stroking Vara's head gently.

"Vara, please believe me, please" Viceroy said, holding Vara's hand.

"Come on, we're in, it's cold outside and I'm hungry" Viceroy said, asking Vara to leave the gazebo.

"I'll cook instant noodles and eggs, will you?" ask Vara.

Viceroy nodded, he was really lucky to marry such an adult Vara. For the sake of getting blessing, the woman was willing to do anything. Even when the Queen Mother asked him to be pitted, Vara complied without any rejection at all.

Ryo had just entered the house, finding his mother who seemed to be sitting on the sofa in the living room. Ryo's eyes were fixed on a paper bag that was on the table.

"What is this, Mom?" ryo asked to take the paper bag.

"From Roy's wife," Virda replied coldly.

Ryo sneered at the two boxes of perfume.

"Haha, so Roy's wife, bribing Mom with this cheap perfume, gosh, really reflects how cheap she is!" Ryo laughs.

"One for you" said Virda coldly.

"Just give it back, Mom, I'm not interested," Ryo laughed again.

"Ryo, have you ended your relationship with who?" ask Virda.

"Here you go, ma'am" answered Ryo. "I've separated from Jeny."

"You must be kidding me, how did you date that girl?!" cycad Virda.

Ryo simply replied with a smile. Ryo felt half of his plan had gone as it should.
