Getting Married for Lying
181 - Witch Woman

Vero stared boredly at Mike who had been continuously talking on the phone. The man who had just given her a false promise.

"But we're going to Disneyland, wait a minute, Vero."

"Sorry, Vero, I'll answer the phone first."

That's what Mike kept saying until Vero was tired of the man's sweet promises.

"Sir Mike, take me to my mom" Vero said.

"Vero, your mom and dad still have business, we better go to Disneyland, yeah" said Mike.

Vero shook his head quickly.

"Take me to my mom!" pinta Vero with a demanding tone.

"Vero, but." said Mike.

"No buts, Mr. Mike!" cut Vero quickly.

"Bring me to my mother! Or I'll tell you about my mom and dad! I'll tell you that Mr. Mike only made false promises to me!" vero threat.

Mike gasped at the threat from Vero. It feels really strange to get a threat from the boy who is currently still sitting quietly on the car seat.

"Vero, I didn't make any false promises, but..," Mike's remark was again cut off as his smart device shook again.

Vero squinted his eyes at Mike, Mike grinned wryly.

"No, right!" cibir Vero's.

"Sorry Vero" said Mike.

"Full me, Mr. Mike!" this time Vero's tone is more commanding.

"Alright, I will deliver," said Mike finally relented.

...*****...

So, Mike finally drove Vero to the hospital. But when he arrived at the court, Mike still focused on talking on the phone.

The impatient Vero finally unbuckles his own seatbelt and sneaks out of the car, leaving Mike.

Vero entered a hospital that was clearly so foreign to him. A strange place with many foreigners. Their bodies were all towering high with blonde hair. All look like cosmetic advertising stars on television.

Vero continued to look around for where his mother and father were.

The figures that Vero met invited Vero to speak. The language that Vero did not understand and their gestures clearly frightened Vero. Moreover, Vero always remembers the words of his mother, never talk to strangers.

"Mother! Mama!" vero ran in fear.

...*****...

Mike tried to stay calm as soon as he got out of the car he was driving. He tidied up his suit before completely leaving the parking area.

The man took several breaths to relieve his heart from Vero's sudden disappearance from his surveillance.

I don't know what Vier and Vaya would do if they knew that Vero had suddenly disappeared. Vier can tie and hang Mike upside down on the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Mike quickly banishes the wild imagination that infiltrates his head.

The information center is the first place Mike must go to in order to facilitate the search.

Vero was not lost, the boy was just a walk out of boredom.

Mike convinced himself that way.

...*****...

On the other hand, Vaya glanced at Vier as their steps came to a halt in front of a treatment room.

Vaya's heart was beating so fast, his stomach was wrapped around him, with cold sweat beginning to pour out.

Behind that door was someone he would meet in a moment. Still fresh in Vaya's memory when she first met Selena.

The woman was wearing magnificent and luxurious clothes that instantly stole everyone's attention at the school reunion event.

Vier pushed the door in front of him and invited Vaya to enter the room.

Vaya's eyes immediately scanned into an all-white room illuminated by the soft light of autumn sunlight.

Women with long blonde hair, pale white skin, and a thin face that seemed to lose passion for life. Sit on the bed leaning against a pile of pillows in an ivory white dress. The woman still looked beautiful even without wearing any makeup.

"Selena," Vier greeted the woman.

Selena immediately raised her gaze, that unfriendly look clearly made Vaya instantly feel intimidated.

Vaya gulped to wet her choked throat as if an invisible hand was strangling her neck.

"How are you, Selena?" ask Vier in a soft and friendly tone.

Selena did not say, her eyes were still fixed on Vaya. A hateful look mixed with despair.

"Selena" said Vaya.

Vaya stepped forward towards Selena.

"I came to see you because Vier said, you want me to see you."

Selena was silent.

"Vier, I want to talk to her" said Selena coldly.

Selena's cold speech made Vier's expression stiffen, Vier turned towards Vaya.

"Selena wants to talk to me, Vier," said Vaya.

"I don't mind hearing you guys talk."

Vier shook his head softly as a sign that he did not want to let the two talk. Vier worries about many of the worst possibilities that will happen when leaving two women with egos so high.

"Vier's."

Selena glared back, Vier shook her head. Vier doesn't want to take chances when the worst is possible. It is better to prevent than to end up causing bigger problems.

"Vier, really, I'm not going to do anything that's going to hurt anyone" Vaya said.

"I won't let Selena hurt herself again" Vaya continued.

Vier is stunned to hear Vaya's words, but Vaya who is so adamant in the end makes Vier succumb.

"Alright, all right, promise me that you won't make me have to endure any more problems" Vier said.

Vier stepped back, leaving Vaya and Selena alone in the room.

As soon as the door closed, Vaya glanced at the door. He just made sure that Vier completely abandoned them.

"Selena, how have you been?" ask Vaya.

"As you can see. As you can see. Thank you for worrying about me" Selena replied.

Vaya felt so awkward in front of Selena who was still throwing her cynical gaze.

"I won't mince too long" Selena said still in a cold tone.

"Do you really love Vier?"

Vaya relaxes her so tense muscles. He pressed his knuckles until they rang kretek. Holding back that emotion is hard.

The woman who made him have to live apart from Vier when Vaya really was in need of a husband who should accompany through difficult times during pregnancy, childbirth, to raise Vero.

But it was precisely this woman who monopolized her husband.

"Why do you want to know, Selena?" Vaya asked back.

"Of course I want to know, because I really love Vier so much" Selena replied in a provocative tone.

Damn, you witch woman! Inner Vaya.
