Mr. Vazquez & Mrs. Vazquez
Fifty-three

It had been almost an hour Viola waited for the man who was still her husband status. Viola sighed softly then looked at the children who were playing in front of where he was sitting.

Viola smiled then rubbed his still flat stomach.

Healthy ones, son, mother loves you, inner Viola. I can't wait to see the baby again

"Viola .." someone made Viola stop the activity of wiping his stomach.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I—"

"Yes, no papa. I'm used to waiting anyway," cut Viola quickly.

Ardo remained silent. It felt like Viola's speech was an allusion to him.

"Viola—"

"I want to straighten out our problems" Viola said.

"I ... " Viola inhaled a deep breath, it was heavy to say this.

"I want us to break first," said Viola steadily. He thought about it all last night. The parents have also been notified. Their reaction? Of course angry, but they can't do anything more when Viola says that everything is for the good of her baby. Viola is stubborn, as hard as the family forbids, so the result is that Viola will win.

Ardo's body stiffened, inexplicably his mouth felt a faint to speak. All he could do right now was fall silent with a thousand regrets in him.

"Viola .. sorry," said Ardo in a soft voice.

There was only the sound of wind and the sound of children being heard. Viola was there as if he had heard nothing.

"Sorry Viola .. forgive me," still in Ardo's soft voice said that. Even he had already grasped the hand of this woman before him.

"I'm looking for you. I'm worried about you," said Ardo again, staring at Viola. However Viola turned his gaze over.

Viola shed his tears again, behind which he smiled wryly.

Searching for? Cuddling and making out with other women is called looking for me, Heh?

"Go home, Viola." Ardo again pleaded and said softly.

Then, you hurt me again?

Viola was silent for quite a while. Then he shook his head. "I can't."

Ardo looked at Viola with an unreadable look. "Ke—why can't you? You don't love me anymore? What's your reason for leaving me, Viola?" asked Ardo in a row, unconsciously a drop of tears fell from the corner of Ardo's eyes, it seems he is fragile at this time.

His entire life, never once did Ardo show his fragile side as it is today. Moreover, until it let out tears just for the sake of women, it was not Ardo once. But unlike Viola, the woman was one of the women who managed to see Ardo's tears besides Mama Lia.

"I saw you hugging another woman by the side of the road" Viola said, making Ardo look up, he did not deny it was true that there was a woman who suddenly hugged him, but for God's sake! It wasn't Ardo who hugged the foreign woman. It was the foreign woman who hugged Ardo, she had already brushed off the hug but out of nowhere Viola knew that she was the one who hugged the woman.

Ardo's silence made Viola even more confident in his decision.

Viola wiped away the tears that had come out without being able to prevent it. He inhaled his breath and exhaled slowly with a soft sigh at the end. "I want the pain to stop, because it's so painful,"

Ardo frowned confusedly hearing Viola's words. He wanted to ask, but he preferred to be quiet.

"But, I asked myself 'Why'?" viola pause. Then looked at Ardo with a face full of tears. "Why do I want the pain to stop? Did I make the pain myself?" continued.

"..."

Viola looked at Ardo's hand that was still holding his hand. "... sorry. I'm sorry for interrupting your life, I'm sorry for weighing on your life, I'm sorry for being so chatty, I'm sorry for being too selfish, I'm sorry for being sassy—" Viola looked back at Ardo's eyes with tears still flowing.

"Viola .. sorry ... I'm sorry," said Ardo lirih. Ardo doesn't know what to do now. Do you know that Ardo is a plate man with no sensibility? He could say nothing but sorry.

He knew his words yesterday were harsh, he knew he shouldn't yell at Viola who didn't know anything about the problems he was facing, but blamed Ardo's less open nature, blame his mouth that always issued harsh words even though very few words he let out, blame his mouth that always does trouble to anyone. Call it Rosie, because her spicy mouth made the poor girl choose the wrong path, and now Viola. But Ardo hopes Viola won't leave him now.

Viola shook his head. "No, you're not guilty. I'm the one who's wrong here,"

Viola smiled, but Ardo knew it was a smile of pain.

"... I'm sorry for everything. I wish you could choose your own life, be able to choose what you want," Viola wiped away her tears.

"I think I should go—"

"You want to leave me?" tanya Ardo cut Viola's talk.

Viola was speechless, Viola's brain told him to leave but his heart said to stay. What should he choose? Stay even if he knows he will get sick, or go and get on with his life?

Ardo sighed softly with Viola silent, then looked up at the sky to reduce the tears that were impudently spilled. Ardo stared at the bowed Viola, then pulled and cupped Viola's face in his big hands.

Ardo looked at the Viola clear bead. " Viola ... I love you,"

Ardo's remarks made Viola sculpt. Viola did not feel happy with Ardo's confession, that was the sentence he was waiting for but not at the moment, not when Viola wanted to leave, not when Ardo wanted Viola to stay, he wanted Ardo to say it with all his heart, not at a time like this.

Viola shook his head, he rubbed Ardo's hand that was still cupping his face. "You don't have to do it .. You don't have to say it just because I love you or just because I feel a sense of responsibility to the baby I'm carrying,"

Viola let go of Ardo's hand that was on his face and then held it back. Ardo was also holding Viola's hand. Then Viola looked Ardo in the eye and continued saying, "love me because you love me. That's what I want-"

"—Please, don't make me sicker because of what you said" he continued.

Again Ardo could only be silent with Viola's words. Why would Ardo be such a coward at this moment?!

Feeling that the problem was over, Viola said goodbye to go home. But just as he stood up he felt a burly arm hugging his body from behind. Viola closed his eyes to inhibit the rate of water flowing from his eyes.

"Please .. please, don't leave me, Viola," Ardo's voice trembled. Viola could also feel his shoulders wet. Ardo cried again, Viola could not see him.

Viola rubbed Ardo's burly arm and let go of the warm embrace he longed for. "sorry. It has been my decision" he said.

"You're asking me why I left you, aren't you? The reason is because I want to give you time. Give you time to think. If we are friends, we will meet again. Believe it." Viola left after saying that line.

"And the baby thing I'm carrying, you don't have to worry. I can take care of her with all my heart" Viola said without turning her head and immediately entered the taxi that was waiting for her.

Again the ardo looked at hearing Viola's words.

"Argghhhh .." erang Ardo when consciousness had begun to approach him. Between annoyance, anger, disappointment and regret being one when he saw the taxi carrying Viola had already disappeared.

Ardo kicked the park chair with all his strength. He doesn't care about the pain in his leg. The pain was nothing compared to the heartache she felt. Ardo squeezed out his suddenly throbbing head.

Wasn't it!

This is not what he expected!

Why can't he hold Viola?

Why?!!
