Getting Married for Lying
134 - Not Cinderella

The question thrown by Ms. Cintami clearly made Vaya again gulp her saliva, her throat was really so dry, barren, and arid like a desert.

In Vaya's mind at this moment crossed Vier's shadow. Vier is so handsome, full of charm, and abundant in treasure. While Vaya, she doesn't even have anything she can be proud of considering all the things in her life using the word all-around shortcoming. Starting from less beautiful, less attractive, and coming from a family less capable.

It is nothing compared to Selena, Vier's perfect fiancee. It is only natural that Selena was well received by the Vier family as a potential wife who was so deserving to accompany the man.

Vaya took a breath, clenched both hands, trying to gather all the courage she had to look into the eyes of her mother-in-law who clearly felt that Vaya was inappropriate to accompany Vier.

"Mother, I certainly feel worthy to be Vier's wife, because at this moment I am Vier's wife" Vaya replied.

Bu Cintami's eyebrows shot up next to Vaya's answer.

"I deserve to be with Vier because Vier is my husband. I should have also kept myself firm."

Vaya had no idea where her high self-confidence came from. Is it from gathering pieces of courage? After all, Vaya is married to Vier with courage alone.

"What an impressive confidence," said Bu Cintami with a nyinyir tone.

"Thank you, ma'am," Vaya commented on her wide smile as possible in response to her mother-in-law's nyinyir remarks.

"Vaya, but you must have understood very well that Vier is a very famous man with a reputation as a person who very often replace women who are on his side" said Bu Cintami.

"His father's blood is so thick in Vier's blood. I really salute Selena because she's the only woman who's survived long enough until Vier finally introduces Selena to us" Cintami continued.

Vaya felt the muscles on her face stiffen. Again her mother-in-law attacked her with a stifling statement.

Vier has been dating Selena for two years. Two years is certainly a very long time for a guy like Vier. The togetherness of Vier and Selena for two years certainly can not be compared with the togetherness of Vier and Vaya which is still in the matter of not until the corn.

"What if Vier is tired of you and brings another woman to overcome her boredom? Are you ready to accept all that?" ask Miss Cintami.

Vaya stiffened even more, he did not even realize that he had pressed his knuckles firmly. The question from her mother-in-law really made Vaya feel she was facing a question from a lecturer examiner when conducting a thesis hearing.

Vaya seemed to be crashing into such a frightening reality. Dumped by Vier when the man was bored. Like the women Vier has lived, filling Vier's days, and heating up Vier's nights in bed or in the man's sex room.

Bu Cintami still threw his gaze at Vaya, unceasingly observing the change in the expression of the woman before him.

Although Ms. Cintami has never questioned any woman whom Vier has dated so far, but as a parent, Ms. Cintami clearly has the criteria of a dream daughter-in-law who deserves to accompany Vier.

Women who look ordinary and come from ordinary families are definitely not the dream daughter-in-law of Bu Cintami. He was not pleased with the woman who was picked up in the street by Vier.

"Mother, thank you for worrying about my relationship with Vier. I understand very much that I'm worried about you because Vier is very easy for any woman to want" Vaya said.

"But for me, this is the consequence that I have to accept because I have decided to accompany Vier," continued Vaya.

"So, you don't care if Vier changes your position to any woman?" ask Miss Cintami.

Vaya covered her smile.

"What if you're in my position?" Vaya asked back.

"Vaya, I asked like that because I've been in your position before" said Ms. Cintami remained calm.

"Hmm, so yes," said Vaya.

Ms. Cintami started to stiffen, the woman before her was clearly trying to provoke her.

"If all this time you can accompany your husband, that means I can also accompany my husband, right?" vaya hatch.

"Haha, you're not the same as me, so don't try to match your position with mine," Ms. Cintami laughed cynically.

Vaya fell silent, gulped his saliva, his tongue suddenly felt so faint.

"You and I are from different classes. So you have to understand that" fierce Ms. Cintami.

The piercing view of Bu Cintami clearly made Vaya's heart feel spiked.

"Good ma'am, I understand," said Vaya stammered.

"You're not Cinderella living in a fairy tale. So you don't feel haughty just because Vier chose you to be his wife."

Vaya really could only be speechless listening to Bu Cintami say.

"Alright, I think enough of our conversation this time. I just want you to think well. Do you really deserve Vier?" close Miss Cintami.

The middle-aged woman immediately moved from her seat to coincide with Mr. Jo who came to bring drinks.

"Mrs, the drink," said Mr. Jo.

"Thank you, Mr. Jo, next time yes" he said kindly.

Bu Cintami immediately stepped away leaving Vaya still speechless and lost her words.

...*****...

All day Vaya can only be pensive in front of his computer monitor. His conversation with the mother-in-law really affected Vaya's mind.

Vaya is unable to focus and loses concentration.

It feels like all the beautiful and happy things that have just been experienced in the last few days, no, rather in the last few hours must be gone.

The remains of a passionate romantic getaway with Vier in the Maldives only makes all his office friends wonder.

Why did Vaya suddenly take a leave of absence, then go home in a much darker skin condition? The Maldives sun that burned Vaya's skin certainly did not feel so stinging than the words of the mother-in-law who was so stinging.

Well, a typical wealthy mother who feels that her daughter-in-law is unequal, not at her level would definitely behave like that.

"Mr Vaya!"

"Eeh," Vaya stuttered.

In front of Vaya, Evi was already staring at Vaya with a look of astonishment.

"Mbak Vaya daydreaming what the hell? Called from earlier there is no reason," said Evi.

"Ehem, sorry, Evi, I've failed to focus anymore" Vaya cleared her throat.

"Madame's wanted mother" said Evi.

"Oh, okay," said Vaya.

Vaya immediately set himself in front of the pocket mirror. His face really looks crumpled and pale. Quickly she scavenged the brightly colored lipstick to give her a fresh hue.

...*****...

"Vaya, what about the progress of a special task that I gave some time ago?"

Madame spoke in a low tone as soon as Vaya sat in front of her. Madame is a nickname for the big boss at the company where Vaya works.

Vaya completely forgot about the special task of Madame. So many personal problems faced by Vaya, making Vaya completely forget about the special task.

"I'm sorry, Mom, lately I've been really busy with work" Vaya said with caution.

"Alright, Vaya, I understand your position. Then I will take the task away from you" Madame said firmly.

Vaya fell silent. If that particular task is diverted, it means Vaya is missing out on the opportunity to gain a good position in the company.

Oh no! Batin Vaya.

"Mother, I can definitely, please give me some time," Vaya pleaded.

"Go back to work, Vaya," orders Madame.

Vaya sighed softly, Madame's order was finally he followed. He immediately walked out of his office feeling disappointed.

He failed in his work. Yes, failed to get a good position and position in the company.
