The Thing About Violet's

Fly to China

Gasa and Mada met with hatred for one another. The eyes of the two were ready to pounce on each other. Just as Gasa was about to dart to Mada, Violet immediately stood in their midst and she faced Gasa, "Enough Mas! we home. I'll come home with you"

"Don't go home with him Vio! she's that.........."

Vio looked back, "He's my fiancee. I have to go home with him"

Gasa threw a triumphant smile at Mada. Then he pulls Violet and puts Violet in the car.

Mada immediately shouted in annoyance.

Violet asked as the car driven by Gasa had driven on the hot asphalt road leading to Violet's house, "Why would Mas know that I was in the safari park?"

"I picked you up earlier and I saw you ride on that son of a bitch's bike. I even saw him tie his jacket to your waist, just as brash as he is" Gasa said with jealousy and he gripped tightly at the wheel of his car.

"She wears her jacket to cover my skirt. I wear a skirt. He's my friend, I'll also send a text message to Mas earlier, if I go for a while with my friend" said Violet.

"Why are you so good at lying now?"

"liying? I'm not lying, he's really my friend. We were pure friends no more Mas and I always told Mas that I went with my friend" said Violet.

"I've seen that guy at the mall. He bumped into you back then and I asked you if you knew him? you shook my head at that time. You remember?" Gasa was getting tighter gripping his steering wheel. He held his hand against hovering and landed on Violet's swinging face. He wanted to beat up Violet right then and there because, he always did hate being lied to.

"There was a misunderstanding between us and it was because of him............."

Gasa then sidelined his car, he stomped on the brakes violently because, he felt very upset and his jealousy was mounting. She took off her seatbelt and looked at Violet, "If you're just friends with her and picked me, then kiss me now!"

Violet took off her seatbelt and kissed Gasa on the cheek.

"Not on the cheek. I demand a first kiss from you. Prove that he's just a friend to you. Kiss me!" Gasa stared intently at Violet.

Violet looked doubtful and unmoved.

Plaque! Gasa suddenly slapped Violet very hard and she immediately pulled Violet into his arms. She hugged Violet until she felt shortness of breath and pain, "Mas, uhuk-uhuk. Let go of me, Mas! It hurts"

Gasa let go of Violet but she still held Violet's shoulder, "I'm sorry! I slapped you again. That's so you realize that there's only me who loves you so much. I don't want you to turn to another man and leave me"

Violet pushed Gasa hard and then with a super-fast motion, she jumped out of her car and ran as fast as she could and just as Gasa was about to drive her car to chase after Violet, there was a car pulled over, and Violet got into the car.

Saved by the bell, Mira's best friend Violet crosses the street. Mira turned to Violet, "Why are your Cheeks? why are you on the big side of this road? why are you running and ........."

"Don't ask too many questions! Just take me to Marina Pier"

"Huh?! what do you want to the pier?" ask Mira.

"I want to see a friend"

"Am I not your friend? and you don't want to tell me?" ask Mira.

"I'll tell you everything later. This matter just wants me to talk to him first" said Violet.

Upon reaching the Marina pier, Violet turned to Mira, "Thank you. Go home! I'll be fine here"

"Alright, careful! if you need me, just let me know!" Mira Pinta.

"Thank you" Violet hugged Mira and then she darted away from Mira to block B28.

Mada, who was contemplating at the stern of the ship, immediately got off the ship and greeted the violet, "Why are you crying, why are your cheeks red again?"

After feeling somewhat calm, Violet let go of her embrace and asked, "I can board your ship?"

"Of course I can" Mada immediately pulled Violet's hand slowly and helped Violet get on her boat.

Violet sat at the stern of the ship and Mada handed a bottle of cold mineral water to Violet. Violet immediately drank half of the bottle and then let out a long sigh.

Mada sat down in front of Violet and placed a warm water compress on her cheek Violet slowly, "Sorry, but your cheeks need to be compressed immediately"

Mada put Violet's hand on the compress and pulled her hand from it.

Violet held onto the compress and looked at Mada, "Mas Gasa the name of my fiance earlier, she's already slapped me twice already'"

"Huh?! he's a sissy yes, it's right to slap a girl let alone her own fiance. Was he like this before? like being rude to you?"

Violet shook her head, "I accepted her into my life and came to the stage of getting engaged because I saw her unpretentious, intelligent, similar to my late Grandfather and gentle like my Papa. I didn't expect the more he got here he turned violent and scary"

Mada got up while saying with a flash of anger in her eyes, "I'll make calculations with her, you son of a bitch!"

Violet immediately pulled Mada's arm to sit down, "Do you know where her house is?"

Mada grimaces, "Ah! fuckin' hell! that's right, I don't know where his house is and you're not going to tell me where he lives"

Violet smiled amusedly and said, "I miss my grandparents. Do you want to accompany me to visit their graves?" ask Violet.

"Okay, I'll accompany you and where are your grandparents' graves?" ask Mada.

"In China" replied Violet.

"Well?!" Mada immediately gaped.

"I got a week's leave from my director after my graduation yesterday and I decided to spend the week at my grandfather's villa in China"

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your graduation after yesterday because, uh, there's a problem at my bar"

"It's okay. You sent me a congratulatory text message. How, so don't you accompany me to China? Usually I go with Mama and Papa but, this week Mama and Papa are very busy"

"Why do you want to go with me?" ask Mada.

"Because you're my friend and you're a man. You're more reliable than my super-critical and reckless best friend Mira, hehehehehe"

Mada smiled widely and nodded her head, "Okay, I'll accompany you"

"We're leaving now, can we?"

"Well! you're impulsive too. Okay I'm ready at any time but, you don't have a suitcase and......."

"There's a black card in my wallet, it's much more important than a suitcase, hehehehe" Violet said as she patted her bag.

Mada smiled broadly and said, "Okay, we're going to the airport now. But, you're saying goodbye to your mom and your Papa?"

"Already" said Violet.

"OK, we're leaving" said Mada.

A few hours later, Violet and Mada were on board a plane bound for China and in China, there would be many surprises for Mada and changes in Mada and Violet's relationship.
