The days that Viola lived more and more painful days, King always acted rough and spicy when talking to him.
Not to mention the views of those around him, who always whispered to degrade his status as a second wife.
As of now, Viola was sitting near the fish pond that was behind the house while feeding on the fish. He smiled as he watched the fish scramble for food to keep him entertained by what he was looking at.
From a distance, the servants noticed what Viola was doing, they were very unhappy with his presence in this house as the second wife of their master's son.
"when he was his best friend Mrs Alea, but I have the heart to marry his best friend," said the servant number 1.
"right, does he have no feelings? pity that Mrs Alea has a friend like her," continued waiter number 2.
"about Madam Alea could not have children, she used that weakness to bully Lord King. Cih, pretty-beautiful but cheap," added Server number 3.
Without them noticing, the current Viola was already standing on the doorstep and hearing all the ravings they were saying.
"sorry, passing by!" viola exclaimed, he passed by from before them making the three maids startle and bowing their heads.
"how's this? if he complains to Madam, we're done" whispered waiter number 3, clutching tightly to the other servant's arm beside him.
Viola continued to walk towards the room without caring what they said, he closed the door violently then sat on the bed with his chest rising and coming back holding back emotions.
"just as if to say I'm a cheap woman," said Viola with trembling lips, she wiped away the melted tears that had escaped her eyes.
"no Viola, you can't cry! you're a strong woman, you've got to keep going even if the whole world takes care of you" she murmured later, then she went to the bathroom to refresh her heart and mind.
After feeling calm, Viola came out of the bathroom and intended to go to Buk Mina's house. He had not been to the middle-aged woman's house for a long time, which had helped her a lot.
Suddenly, the door of the mansion opened and entered a middle-aged woman accompanied by two men who were the child and husband of the woman.
Viola who was on the stairs rushed down and approached those who were sitting in the guest room.
"good afternoon, Master, Madam," said Viola, he lowered his head slightly to greet all of them.
"so this, the woman who became my daughter-in-law's second wife?" said the middle-aged woman suddenly, she got up and noticed Viola's appearance from head to toe.
"cih, the village lady doesn't seem to be quick to compete with Kak Alea," exclaimed a young man about the same age as Viola in a mocking tone.
"how? are you satisfied, ruining my son's household?" the woman said, she pushed Viola's body back a few steps.
"after Ma, don't make a fuss" said the woman's husband, pulling his wife's arm and taking her back to her seat.
Viola chose to get out of the house so as not to further provoke a commotion, but as he was about to reach the door, the woman's voice again sounded to make him not get out of there.
"how much did you get paid to be my daughter-in-law's second wife?" shouted the middle-aged woman, she felt unacceptable because the princess was pitted.
"sorry Madam, I don't-"
"why? you want to dodge?" aldrick exclaimed, he is Alea's younger brother.
Viola clenched her hands as she felt furious at everything they said.
"until you break someone else's heart, when my daughter has been very kind to you" said the woman, she rose again despite being detained by her husband.
"you are also a woman, do you have no conscience at all? until you take your husband from your own best friend!" the anger that the woman had long harbored exploded all these days, she spilled all the claustrophobic in the chest upon hearing the news that her daughter was being pitted.
viola's body trembled when he heard what the woman said, his heart ached because what the woman said was true.
"what kind of woman are you, who sells your own self-worth? did your parents never teach you to be a good woman? it's not being a cheap woman that's ruining someone else's household!"
"enough! enough already!" viola shouted, he was already unable to endure the pain as the woman brought up about her parents.
"Why? isn't what my mom said right?" Aldrick stood up and approached Viola, looking at Viola's body from top to bottom to assess the woman's appearance.
While Viola was only silent by holding back all the anger that began to rule his heart, he clenched his hands until he made his veins protrude to the surface.
"you see, all your life you'll never be happy!" said the middle-aged woman again, she cussed on Viola to never feel her name happy.
"it's a pity that your beauty is," said Aldrick, he raised his hand about to touch Viola's cheek which was immediately brushed by the girl.
"keep that filthy hand of yours away from me!" viola said resolutely, he was anxious to break the hand of the man who had dared to touch him.
"Dirty? you said my hands were dirty? hahaha." Aldrick's laughter broke out in the room upon hearing what Viola said, while Viola grew furious and decided to leave the place immediately.
Seeing Viola leave, Aldrick did not remain silent. He pulled the woman's hand until Viola's body crashed into his own.
"Don't feel like a saint, I can pay your body a fortune if you can satisfy me."
Plaque, Viola slapped Aldrick in the face upon hearing the whisper from the man. He could no longer resist seeing their behavior that was already out of bounds.
Alea and the King who had just reached the house were so shocked to see Viola slap his slap into Aldrick's face.
"How dare you slap me, lady *******!" Aldrick who had already raised his hand to slap Viola was blocked by someone making them all look directly at the person.
"Sister?" aldrick exclaimed, he did not expect that Alea was currently holding her hand which would slap Viola's face.
"what do you want to do, Al?" alea asked sharply, she let go of her clenched hands making Aldrick free and glanced at Viola sharply.
"he first slapped me, brother" cried Aldrick, holding his cheek slightly red from the slap of Viola.
"actually what happened? why are you fighting like this?" aela asked, she looked at Viola and Aldrick in turn.
"i want to go to Al's room first," Viola chose to leave, if he complained everything to Alea then the edges must still be him who would be reviled.
"look! you see, women don't know that shame. How could he leave us and go into the room? it's a cheap woman!"
"Mama!"
