Getting Married for Lying
169 - Good Talk
Vaya immediately went down from the top floor to the kitchen. He harrumphed because he saw Vier was waiting for him.
"Vaya, can we talk?" ask Vier.
"What do you want to talk about, Vier?" ask Vaya.
Vaya really showed a tough, cold, and unfriendly attitude towards Vier.
"Tell me, what exactly was your purpose in coming here?" ask Vaya.
"I came here of course to look for you" replied Vier.
"You better not have to look for me, Vier," said Vaya.
Vier and Vaya were still staring at each other with their eyes locked onto each other.
"I will not disturb your life, so I also ask you not to disturb my life," said Vaya.
Vier was still speechless, he could see the glint of anger emanating clearly from the look in Vaya's eyes.
"Vaya," said Vier.
Vaya turned her gaze towards the stairs, she could see Vero peeking.
"Vero," said Vaya.
"Hehe, Mother," Vero chuckled.
"Vero, stay on top, yes, I'm preparing food" said Vaya.
Vero immediately returned to the top floor according to Vaya's orders.
"Vaya, please, we need to talk" Vier said.
"Sorry, Vier, I don't want to talk to you about anything. I don't want Vero hearing things he shouldn't have heard!" vaya hatch.
Vier breathed a heavy sigh.
"Vaya, is Vero really my son?" ask Vier.
"No!" answer Vaya quickly.
Vier was flabbergasted at Vaya's reply.
"Vay! Have you lost track all this time because you were pregnant with another boy?" ask Vier.
Vaya is inflamed hearing questions from Vier that are full of accusations.
"Vier, for the past three years, did you just think that I lost track because I was pregnant with another boy?!" Vaya asked back.
Vier was still staring straight at Vaya.
"You really should know, Vier! I'm pregnant, I'm giving birth, and I raised Vero by myself when Vero's biological father was accompanying another woman!"
Vaya was completely unable to contain her overflowing emotions. Anger, disappointment, and anger mixed into one.
"Over these three years I've even been so faithfully waiting for you! But behold, what is the fruit of my loyalty? You betrayed her and became happy with Selena! Isn't that right, Vier?!"
"Mother!"
Vero exclaimed as he ran down the stairs and approached Vaya.
"Vero, the road is slow," said Vaya, gently rubbing Vero's head.
"Mom why are you so angry?" ask Vero.
"Mother is not angry" replied Vaya.
Vero squinted his eyes then threw his gaze at Vaya and Vier in turn.
"Mom, did Mr. Vier bother you like the driver?" ask Vero.
"Om-om driver? What do you mean, Vero?" ask Vier.
"Vero, don't talk weird, baby," said Vaya.
"Finally Mom is usually angry if disturbed by the driver's om-om right?" sahut Vero's.
"Sir Vier, don't bother my mother!" vero threat.
Vier harrumphed at Vero's threat, but he could only comment on his smile.
Vier gave Mike the code. Mike, who had been sitting in the chair, finally got out of his chair.
"Vero, we play together yuk, let Mr. Vier and your mother talk well," said Mike took the initiative to invite Vero.
"Why is my mom talking so well?" ask Vero to Mike.
"Talk well so as not to be impressed angry," replied Mike.
"Sir Mike," Vaya glared at Mike.
"Bu Vaya, I will take good care of Vero. I promise," said Mike.
Mike invites Vero back upstairs so Vaya and Vier can have a good conversation.

"Vaya, I beg you, we need to speak carefully" Vier said.
"Vier, don't you see how busy I am? I have to cook for Vero! Vero is starving!" sergeant Vaya.
Vier sighed softly at Vaya who was busy cooking fried rice. The aroma of fried rice that was so fragrant made Vier's stomach thrash.
"Vaya, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean to leave you and Vero for Selena. I never even knew where you were. You seemed to cover everything even about Vero" said Vier.
"Vier, I have my own reasons why I should cover my existence! I really have to take care of my safety, my family, and of course the baby I was carrying!"
"Over these three years, I can only hide and dodge! Especially avoid your mother's terror! Still fresh in my memory, he came and brought a divorce petition! He wants our divorce!"
"At that time, I who was pregnant with Vero of course became extraordinarily anxious. For my safety, the baby I had, and also my family, so I decided to hide while waiting for you to come to pick me up!"
"But look! What did I get after all this time hiding and waiting for you to come and pick me up?"
"You and Selena are back together!"
Vaya felt a tightness in her chest that was becoming more and more so. Vaya's eyes heat up, but as much as possible he does not show his fragility in front of Vier.
"Vaya, do you really think that way?" ask Vier.
Vaya did not answer Vier's question, he was still busy stirring the fried rice with a wooden spatula.
"Vaya, you're totally wrong to think that way. Looks like you should know, too, what I've been through for three years."
Vier still focused his gaze towards Vaya even though Vaya preferred to stir fried rice in a frying pan.
"Over these three years, I've focused on Selena's recovery. For me, Selena's recovery is the key to solving all the problems I currently face. My problems with Selena's parents, my problems with my mother, even the problems that are currently dragging you, Vaya!"
"You know how my mother still blames you for Selena's misfortune!"
"I really have to sort things out in my own way, Vaya" Vier said.
Vaya poured the fried rice from the frying pan onto the plate. Then he started making eggs.
"Vaya, really! Believe me, me and Selena are not back together!"
"You're my wife and we're still tied to marriage! Right now I'm here to pick you up, Vaya!"
"It's time we got back together!"
Vaya closed his eyes, as much as he could try to temper his anger.
He does not want to argue with Vier, he does not want Vero to hear his quarrel with Vier.
Vaya put the cooked omelet on the plate. Then with one slow move, he set his sights on Vier.
He took a slow breath to let out a low voice even as low as possible. The goal is of course so that Vero does not steal his talk with Vier.
"No, Vier! I don't want to go back with you!" vaya said with full decisiveness.
