Getting Married for Lying
110 - Rantang Rebuttal

"Sir Mike, how are you?" 

Vaya observes Mike currently lying in the VIP room next to the room where Vier is being treated.

Mike was forced to pull his smile, a bitter smile to cover up the upset but helplessness in front of the couple who actually acted at will by making the hospital VIP room a hotel room.

Last night Mike overheard these two guys in front of him satisfying each other in the next room. And it really made Mike feel restless and agitated all night.

It's outrageous, but what Mike can do except take it all for granted.

"Bu Vaya, thank you for worrying about me. I'm fine" answered Mike.

"Sir Mike, your right hand is even in the cast, how can you say it's okay?" Vaya.

"Vaya, Mike's hand only had a light crack, not really broken" Vier chimed in.

"Vier, but I still feel more guilty. Mr. Mike got hurt, and ended up not being able to work!" lamented Vaya.

Geck... Geck...

Vaya looked up when she heard the knock on the door. Maam Asih, Rian, and Aria appeared in the doorway.

"Mother, Rian, Aria, come on in."

Vaya invites her family to come in. They come to the hospital to visit Vier and Mike.

Aria, the girl with teary eyes looked at Mike with her right hand in-gips. He followed Bu Asih and Rian who approached Mike.

Ma'am Asih looked at Vier and Mike alternately.

"I'm really sorry to you guys. This disaster happened because of me" said Bu Asih with teary eyes.

"Mother-in-law, please don't think like that. To be honest after I think well, this problem arises precisely because of the feud that occurred between me and Mr. Deri," said Vier.

"I really did not expect that Mr. Deri would be less professional and also act that tight" continued Vier.

Vier looked at Bu Asih who was still feeling guilty while embracing Vaya and Aria.

"Mr Asih, what Mr. Vier said is true. The most important thing now is that Bu Vaya and Aria are doing well" Mike said.

"Both of you, I really don't know how to repay your kindness. I am so grateful that you are willing to protect my family," Ms. Asih could not hold back her tears that were about to spill.

Vier took Bu Asih's hand, grasping it with all earnestness.

"Mother-in-law, protecting Vaya has become my duty as a husband, and protecting Aria, has become my duty as Mother's daughter-in-law" said Vier.

Vaya felt fluttering with Vier's words.  The man's words were simple but had a tremendous effect on calming Vaya and her mother.

"Thank you, son Vier," Ma Asih clasped Vier's hand tighter.

"It doesn't really matter, ma'am" said Vier.

Again Vaya felt her heart rumble because of Vier's warm smile.

Aria walked over to Mike. The girl with teary eyes and both clenched hands stood in front of Mike.

"Sir Mike, I'm really sorry, because of me, Mr. Mike got hurt like this" Aria said.

Mike commented on his smile, in Mike's eyes, the way Aria apologized was exactly like Vaya and Bu Asih. His name is also his mother and children.

"I'm perfectly fine, thanks for worrying about me" Mike said.

"Sir Mike, do you need anything? I'm ready to help you" Rian said.

"I! Just tell me, Mr. Mike," Aria said.

"Just me, Mike! I have a lot of free time!" said Rian.

"I can! I can do it more!" said Aria.

"Rian, Aria!" reprimand Vaya.

Rian and Aria instantly ended their commotion.

"Aria, you're not in school?" ask Vaya.

"Let's take a minute, sister," replied Aria. "Self not working?" ask Aria.

"Yes, I'm a permit" said Vaya, stealing a glance at Vier.

Vier reviews his smile, of course Vaya was forced to take permission not to enter the office because he had to accompany Vier while still in the hospital.

"Oh yes, this is you bring food, eaten while warm yes," said Bu Asih while giving a code to Rian.

Rian immediately handed over the food he brought to Vier.

"Mothers who are sorry, can not bring decent hands," said Bu Asih.

"Thank you, ma'am" said Vier.

"Taken with Mr. Mike yes, Nak Vier," said Bu Asih.

"Okay, ma'am" said Vier.

"Thank you, ma'am" said Mike.

"Yes, then, I'm sorry, you rest, hopefully recover soon," said Bu Asih.

"Okay, ma'am" said Vaya.

"Sir Vier, Mr. Mike, I'll go first" Rian said goodbye.

"Aria, come on," asked Bu Asih to Aria who was still dumbfounded.

Aria looks hard to step away, but finally she still goes with her mother and Rian. Vaya escorted her family out of the VIP room.

Vier grinned, he immediately sat down on the sofa and opened the contents of the bushel that Bu Asih gave. The smell of chicken porridge immediately filled Mike's room.

Mike was obviously tempted because the food in the hospital was not tempting.

"Mike, you want to too?" ask Vier.

"Sir Vier, didn't Bu Asih clearly say that we should share?" ask Mike.

Vier squinted his eyes at Mike, he put on a defensive stance against the bushels he immediately hugged tightly.

"Mike, this is my mother-in-law's cooking, not your mother-in-law's, '" Vier firmly refused.

"Sir Vier, but Bu Asih already said that we should share," Mike insisted.

The tense atmosphere that occurred between Vier and Mike made the new Vaya back in the room astonished.

"Vaya, come!" call Vier.

"What's up, Vier?" ask Vaya.

Vaya soon joins Vier on the couch.

"Vaya, I'm asking you, your mother made me special dishes because I'm your mother's favorite daughter-in-law, right?" ask Vier.

"Bu Vaya, my ears have not been disturbed. I heard clearly that your mother said very clearly that she told us to share, "Mike chimed in.

Vaya saw Vier who was still hugging loudly with a defensive attitude. It was obvious that the man was reluctant to share.

Oalah, apparently they are struggling anyway, Vaya's mind finally understands.

"Vier, take it easy, my mother cooked it quite a lot" Vaya said as she took a bushel from Vier's embrace.

The four-stacked bushel contains two chicken porridge and two green bean porridge spots that are still warm.

"No problem, right, sharing with Mike? You can't possibly spend all this on your own" Vaya said.

Vier was seen putting on a sour expression. Vaya immediately took the initiative to feed Vier.

"Vier, aa..," Vaya feeds a spoonful of chicken porridge into Vier's mouth.

Hap..

Vier ate the chicken porridge that Vaya fed.

"For Mike, too, yes" said Vaya.

Vier seemed to think hard while casting a skeptical gaze toward Mike.

"Vier," said Vaya.

"Yes, yes, all right" said Vier.

Mike was relieved to finally be able to get a better food ration than the food rations in the hospital. Food in the hospital does not taste good.

Mike felt flowery as Vaya thrust a bushel for him on a portable table by the side of the bed.

Only, this time another problem arose. Mike's right hand is currently in-gips making it difficult to bribe food.

Mike could only be envious, looking at the two people before him who were again showing off their affection. Bribery as if the world belonged to only two.

Ugh, fate, fate, how can I eat? inner Mike riled.
