Getting Married for Lying
162 - Miss You's Photo

"Bas on a bastard! The bastard doesn't know himself! You don't even have a father! You should know yourself!"

The middle-aged woman shouted while lashing out a punch at a teenage girl.

"Run, run!" exciting Aria.

"Run!" Vero called out.

Vaya climbed the steps leading to the top floor as soon as he heard the noise.

He immediately sighed heavily when he found Aria and Vero who were busy watching the soap opera on television.

Vaya takes the remote and instantly turns off the television.

"Well, Brother Vaya! Again more exciting!" lamented Aria.

"Mother!" Vero was complaining.

"Aria, learn! Vero, it's time for bed!" vaya hatch.

"Well, sister, nanggung nih, still exciting," complained Aria.

"Learn, you'll be testing soon" said Vaya.

Aria chokes, she immediately picks up her textbooks and goes downstairs.

The house that Vaya and her family currently live in has two floors. The ground floor is used as a stall, while the upper floor serves as a resting place. No room or divider. Vaya and her family slept together in the room, on a lesehan mattress.

Vaya only lives with her mother, Aria, and also Vero. While Rian who is currently working on a cruise ship will only go home when taking leave.

"Vero, you've got a toothbrush, right? Let's go to sleep," Vaya said.

Vero immediately laid himself on a bed of lesehan.

"Mother" said Vero. "Mom hasn't told me what a boyfriend is."

Vaya grinned at Vero, Vero's expression clearly demanding Vaya's answer.

"Hmm, girlfriend yes, Mom never had a boyfriend, so I don't know exactly what a girlfriend is" Vaya replied.

"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" ask Vero.

"Yes, because no one wants to be Mom's boyfriend" Vaya replied.

Vero looked back at Vaya.

"Mother, what son does not have a father is an illegitimate child?" ask Vero.

Vaya mengelik huffled, so understand, why does Vero have thoughts that are not in accordance with his age? This is all because Aria often watches soap operas with Vero.

"Mother, am I an illegitimate child? I don't have a father" Vero said.

"Vero, who said you didn't have a father? Your father is here" said Vaya.

"If my father is there, where is my father?" ask Vero again.

Vaya immediately pulled out a blanket to cover Vero's body.

"Dad Vero was busy working, like Om Rian," Vaya replied.

"So when did you come, Mom?" ask Vero again.

"Your father will come when it is not busy," replied Vaya while gently rubbing Vero's hair.

Vaya immediately kissed Vero's forehead.

"Now Vero sleeps yes," said Vaya.

"Mother, what was my father like?" ask Vero again.

"Later Vero will know that he has met, okay, now sleep yes," said Vaya.

Vero closed his eyes immediately.

Vaya returns downstairs to Aria and her mother in the kitchen.

"Aria, please cut back on the soap opera! Vero became contaminated strangely," said Vaya.

"In the end, Vero was very smart, sister, hehe," Aria chuckled.

"Yes, but don't you poison it with soap operas too. Vero is really a kid whose thinking is very critical. All-all asked, I was confused to answer what," complained Vaya.

Again Aria can only chuckle amused with eyes that can not be separated from the smart device.

"Aria, you are, instead of learning and playing social media" said Vaya.

"Oh, brother, let us live in the countryside away from the great city, but we must not be left behind! As long as there is still an internet connection, let the word slow but we should not be left behind the latest things!" cerocos Aria's.

Aria certainly does not want to miss the latest news, since Rian gave her a gift in the form of a smart device on Aria's seventeenth birthday.

"Sir, take a look at this Ensta deh seleb, really very beautiful and fashionable!"

Aria showed her smart screen towards Vaya, but Vaya did not pay much attention because she was busy checking the stock of food ingredients. Data collection is done to make it easier when he is shopping in the market.

"Aria, listen to your brother, learn the right thing. If you want to get into a good college, learn it must be earnest," said Bu Asih while wiping dishes and wet glasses to be arranged in a storage cabinet.

"It turns out, it has a beautiful face and a tall body like Miss You," said Aria.

"Aria, be grateful for what's there" Vaya chimed in. 

"Oh, sister, but seriously, Miss You is really very pretty! Wow, look, Miss You uploaded her latest photo!" Aria is so enthusiastic in front of her smart device.

Aria's eyes were round, she immediately approached Vaya and handed him over to Vaya.

"So, look at it!"

"What the hell is it, Aria? Sister is busy," said Vaya.

"Sister Vaya, isn't this Brother Vier?!" 

Degs..

Vaya's heart seems to stop beating because Aria mentions Vier's name.

Vaya takes Aria's smart device and his eyes are immediately fixed on a photo that really makes Vaya's heart seem to be about to escape.

A photo of the beautiful woman Aria mentioned as Miss You. In the post, Miss You took a picture with another beautiful woman and a handsome man who was seen commenting on a smile towards the camera. The Eiffel Tower is the backdrop for this photo.

Get well soon, my sister in law. Get well soon, my brother-in-law.

...*****...

Vaya really could only be silent looking at the photo. It felt like Vaya's world had instantly become so dark.

He stared blankly at the photos of Missyu, Selena, and Vier.

Three years have passed. Three years of waiting. Giving evidence to Vier, how willing he was to wait for Vier to come back.

Convincing himself that by waiting for Vier to return, they will be back together. Especially now there is Vero who is present as a fruit of his love.

Every day, he dreams of the moment where Vier will come to pick him up. Bringing her back to live together, like the time they've been through together.

Vaya fantasizes about that pseudo happiness all the time. 

Vero would have loved to have met his father. The figure of the father that Vero never knew at all.

For three years he ran away and hid because he was so afraid of the threat from Vier's mother. Run and hide for the safety of them all.

But the photo actually makes Vaya have to swallow a very bitter bitterness. When Vaya has to fight alone, prove how much he loves Vier with all his heart, but Vier really will not come back to him.

Missyu's post is enough to prove that Vier and Selena are back together. As for Vaya, it might actually have been considered lost by Vier.

"Vaya," Bu Asih approached Vaya.

"Hiks... Mother," Vaya immediately cried in her mother's arms.

Again Vaya had to swallow disappointment, his wait for three years was really over in vain.

"Vaya, you have to be strong, for Vero's sake."
