Getting Married for Lying
158 - The Catastrophe of Lies

"Jeek... Yuck!"

Vaya felt nausea that was so excessive in the middle of his activities to pack. Today Vaya had to leave the employee's mess because he had already resigned from the company.

Vaya immediately ran to the bathroom and vomited out her entrails. There was nothing he could spit out this morning, as he had just woken up.

"Ugh, why me?" inner Vaya wondered.

"Geek...!"

Again the nausea appeared.

"Oh, did my stomach acid go up?" Vaya wondered to herself.

...*****...

Vaya braced herself as soon as she arrived at her doorstep. It felt so hard to go back home.

But now all he can do is go back to his family. Only her family can be her place to lean on.

Geck... Geck...

Vaya knocked on the door while waiting in front of the terrace. Vaya stared around the building of his parents' house that was rickety because of being consumed by age. Vaya hasn't had more money to do a major renovation. Although some time ago Vier once offered help to do the renovation, but Vaya refused.

Vaya does not want to be the one who is considered to take advantage of the opportunity to marry a wealthy man. Vaya is not deigned to be looked down upon simply because he is a person living below the welfare line.

But still, her mother-in-law looked down on her. Not utilizing the wealth of the husband alone accused of utilizing, let alone actually utilizing the wealth of the husband?

Vaya quickly dismissed the thought as soon as her mother opened the door for her.

"Mother," Vaya immediately took Bu Asih's hand and kissed her and gave her a hug.

Bu Asih was speechless with an expression that made Vaya stiffen.

"Mother, what's wrong?" ask Vaya.

"Come in first, Vaya," replied Mother.

Vaya immediately entered the house and followed Bu Asih. Ms. Asih took something on the storage shelf that was next to the television.

Aria and Rian only dared to peek out of the room, not daring to approach their mother and sister.

Bu Asih thrust an envelope towards Vaya.

"Vaya, return this envelope to Vier's mother" said Bu Asih.

"W-what? Vier's mother?" Vaya.

"Yes, the other day Vier's mother came and gave me this envelope. But I really cannot accept it," said Bu Asih.

Vaya issued a check sheet with a very fantastic nominal.

"Vaya, why aren't you being honest with Mom?" ask Bu Asih.

Vaya was silent at the expression on her mother's face that turned sad.

"When you said that you were getting married, I was actually very surprised and almost in disbelief. But, because you said that I should believe you, then I believed and did not question it" said Bu Asih.

"Only, when I heard Vier's mother question how she educated you, I felt that Mom had become a parent who failed to educate you" Bu Asih's eyes glazed over.

"Is it true that you forced Vier to marry you as a form of accountability for what you've done in the past?"

"Vier even had to cancel his wedding to marry you."

"Mother" Vaya interrupted.

Vaya felt a sense of tightness back inside her chest. She could guess what her mother-in-law was talking about to the point that her mother was so sad like this.

"Mother, I'm sorry. Can you hear my explanation? I'll tell you everything, ma'am, I'll tell you everything, and I'll make sure it's not Mom's fault for educating me" Vaya said.

Vaya clasped his mother's hand and they looked at each other.

"It's all my fault, ma'am. It was my fault that I made up a lie. I lied to Vier's fiancee. I confessed to being pregnant and aborting Vier's baby. That lie to me was just a joke, but apparently it made Vier's fiancee cancel their marriage."

"Vier finally asked me to take responsibility for the lie and make me his wife."

Bu Asih shed her tears hearing Vaya's speech.

"Vaya, why are you lying like that?"

"Vaya, but still, lying is not good" said Bu Asih.

"Yes Mom, I know. I was prepared for all the consequences of my lies" Vaya said.

"And in the end, I really fell in love with Vier, Mom, too" continued Vaya.

Vaya looked down and cried over her mother's hands.

"I'm sorry Mom, I'm really sorry. Because of me, because of my lies, everything became like this. I realized, the effect of my lie is making everyone lose faith in me" Vaya said sobbing.

Bu Asih cried and gently rubbed Vaya's head.

"Right now all I can do is give evidence so that I can get all that trust again" Vaya said.

Meanwhile Aria and Rian who were peeping along cried bitterly.

"Vaya, already, stop crying," said Bu Asih.

Vaya looked up and saw a warm smile amidst the tears that were running down her mother's face.

"Important that you've spoken honestly, that's enough for Mom" Ms Asih said as she wiped the tears that melted down Vaya's cheeks.

"Sir Vaya!"

Aria and Rian finally came out of their hiding place and hugged Vaya.

"Geek...!" Vaya felt nauseous again.

Vaya took off the arms of her sisters and directly ran to the bathroom to get her entrails back out.

Bu Asih, Aria, and Rian threw their gazes at each other.

After removing his entrails, Vaya re-assembled with his family in a staggering state.

"Lho, what's wrong with Vaya? How's vomiting?" ask Aria.

"My stomach acid is probably on the rise" said Vaya.

"Huh! Isn't Vaya pregnant?" guess Rian.

"Rian, don't talk weird!" sahut Vaya's.

"Vaya, have you checked?" ask Bu Asih.

Vaya fell silent, trying to remember the last time he came to the moon.

"Sister, I bought you a test pack!" rian said initiative.

"Oh, Rian, not per.. huek...!" 

Again Vaya felt so nauseous.

"I think I should go right now!" said Rian.

...*****...

Three pregnancy test kits currently held by Vaya display two red lines that are clearly and clearly displayed.

Vaya breathed a heavy sigh.

"I'm sure this test pack must be wrong" Vaya said.

"Pregnancy testing tools should be used in the morning, using pee water first!" continued Vaya.

"I can't be pregnant!" Vaya convinced himself.

Maam Asih, Aria, and Rian again cast a glance at each other.

"Vaya, rather than guessing so, it is better to just go to the doctor" suggested Bu Asih.

"But Mom, I can't possibly be pregnant, because.. huek!"

Vaya again felt nauseous and again had to run to the bathroom to drain his entrails.
