Mr. Vazquez & Mrs. Vazquez
19 (Season 02)

Viola looked at Ardo's departure with an unreadable look. After listening to a long sentence from her husband Viola's heart felt struck by an invisible spear.

Now his gaze turned to a plate of rice and a glass of water. He took the plate, a quarter of the rice was not finished.

Viola inhaled air to fill his lungs which felt tight. Without feeling the tears had pooled in his eyes. Ardo only ate with fried chicken side dishes, and that was the leftover side dish last night that he put in the refrigerator.

Viola cursed at her who could not be the perfect wife for Ardo, she could only nag without listening to the husband's explanation.

Without saying a word, Viola directly cooked the food for tonight. He will tell Ardo to eat again because only a little food intake into his body.

As long as he persisted, tears kept flowing from his eyes. He was upset, of course, with this self. Viola was stupid, of course he was no longer wise in being a wife and mother.

He turned off the electric stove after he felt all the food was done. Releasing the apron, he glanced at the clock that had already shown almost half a six. He grimaced, it was natural that Ardo was angry with him, Viola had gone too far. It was Viola who took care of the children and the kitchen, but wasn't that the duty of a wife?

Viola stepped up to come to Ardo and wake up his children, not good at sleeping in almost maghrib like this.

"Mas," call Viola. He saw Ardo lying next to his children with arms covering both eyes.

He did not say, just shut up. Viola knew that Ardo was not sleeping.

"Mas, let's eat first. Not eating yet, right?" bring Viola.

Ardo still did not speak.

"Mas, I know Mas hasn't slept, even if he wants to sleep in the Maghrib quarter like this," said Viola again. From that moment he held back the tears that had piled up, Ardo had never ignored Viola like this.

"Bag,"

"I'm full,"

Jem!

Suddenly Viola's heart felt like it had been pierced by thousands of needles.

Me? Viola smiled wryly. It turned out that his mistake was fatal to Ardo.

Viola tried to smile even though it was poignant.

"Eat yuk Mas, a little bit," said Viola again.

"Later in the evening" replied Ardo again. Quite short for Ardo who usually speaks at length.

Viola nodded, then approached the bed to wake Varo up.

"Darling, wake up first,"

Varo slaughtered it and the boy's eyes opened. "Mother?"

"Yes, Varo has a shower?" ask Viola. He stroked the boy's head.

Varo nodded. "Udah, bathe Dad," he replied.

Once again Viola was upset with him, Ardo had never bathed children because he was afraid. Fear of soap entering the eyes, shampoo entering the eyes, children slipping or something like that. It must have been very hard for Ardo to do so.

"Jude, wash your face."

Varo nodded, then Viola guided Varo to wash his face.

After that he took Keo, the baby was already awake by sucking his thumb.

"The butt is full, son?"

"Mother's son is fragrant, have you taken a bath? Who's mandiin? Daddy's? Said what? Thank you Dad," Viola said, continuing to speak to Keo.

He glanced at Ardo who was not budging at all from a position like Viola had first entered.

Sighing, Viola unbuttoned her shirt to give Keo ASI. Her tears trickled back seeing there were still red marks on Keo's skin even though it was already faint. He covered his stuff as much as possible so as not to be heard by Ardo.

Actually Ardo knew that Viola was crying. Who doesn't know about someone pulling a hingus with that little prank? He was definitely crying. Ardo was silent, letting Viola vent the emotions he had on him.

***

Dinner this time was gripping, the usually chatty Varo just did not talk much as usual. And it was felt by Mama Lia and papa Martin.

"I'm done" said Ardo. He left the dining table not to forget he pecked Varo's head.

"T-"

Mama Lia gave a silent gesture to papa Martin who wanted to call out the question.

Submissively Papa Martin stopped her speech.

Viola looked at Ardo's passing. Her husband was still angry with her. Maybe you think Ardo is childish, but Viola understands that. Who the hell is not angry hundreds of chat even ignored calls? Viola did not ignore him but his phone was silent mode at the time.

"Where?" ask Mama Lia.

"In Ma's room, abis I told ASI he was sleeping again," said Viola.

"Varo wants a watermelon?" ask Papa Martin.

Varo nodded.

"But Varo has to sleep with grandparents, ok?" papa Martin's Terms.

Viola rubbed Varo's head. "Shrub your teeth don't forget, you know how to brush your teeth, right?"

"Tau dong, Mother. Varo is already besaarrrlll,"

Then papa Martin passes with Varo leaving Viola with Mama Lia.

"What's wrong?" mama asked Lia because she saw something was wrong between Ardo and Viola.

Viola sighed. "I'm wrong, Ma" Viola replied.

Mama Lia smiled. "Honey, when cooking we have to include spices so that it tastes delicious, as well as housekeeping." Mama Lia looked at Viola, "Mama doesn't know what your problem is, but if it's a big problem don't let you say things you'll regret, and if it's a small problem don't make it big," advice from Mama Lia. Viola nodded in listening.

"Mama, want to follow Papa with your child first, Mama did not help settle? You know Mama's got a backache,"

Again Viola nodded and then he cleaned up their food marks.

Viola turned the doorknob with a cup of coffee whose smoke was still billowing. There he immediately saw Ardo sitting facing several stacks of paper and a laptop screen that lit up.

Tonight is Sunday night, Ardo did not work because Saturday and Sunday are holidays.

"Mas, coffee." Viola placed the cup of coffee on the side of the roomy table.

"Hm," Ardo just cleared his throat.

"Busy huh?" ask Viola. Baby Keo is still sleeping in his baby basket, the baby if it is asleep then the morning will just wake up.

"You look?"

"Again busy" said Viola.

Viola waited for Ardo until thirty minutes had passed, during which no talk had adorned the inertia.

"It's late, sleep. You're not tired?" ardo's voice was heard after their silence.

Viola smiled, even though Ardo was angry but the man kept thinking about him.

"Mas, I'm sorry" said Viola. "I know I've gone too far, shopping from morning to evening doesn't make the family think."

Ardo closes his laptop, he tidies his files.

"I promise you this, I won't shop anymore" continued Viola.

"I've never stopped you from shopping" replied Ardo. He looked at Viola who was looking down. "I know you need that to let go of the fatigue of taking care of the household, I know Viola," she continued.

"I'm sorry. "sadly Viola, those tears were again welling up in her eyes.

"You're not wrong,"

Viola looked up at Ardo, his tears instantly shed. He hugged Ardo's body. "I'm sorry, please don't get mad like I'm scared, Mom. I'm sorry, I won't repeat, I promise, I promise, Mom."

Viola still hugged Ardo tightly with a hiccup.

"I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed because you didn't answer my phone, I'm worried you're okay, where Keo nangis keeps lucky I had a chance to call mbak Gita," said Ardo. He returned Viola's embrace.

"Hp I'm silent mode, Mas. I don't know why I did it, but I went to see that I had a ring." Still in Ardo's arms he said that. "Mas don't be angry anymore, I'm afraid,"

"I'm not angry, I'm upset plus you nag, I'm more upset."

"I'm sorry, you know I like to nag. I'm sorry, Mom, don't be mad-"

Cup

"I'm not angry, how many times have I said hm?"

"Really?"

"Yes," answered Ardo, he wiped Viola's tears and kissed the eyelids. "You want to shop or hang out, I'll let you. Just so you know your duty" said Ardo.

Viola nodded.

"Mas Ardo had to eat, he had to eat a little. Add again yes, I'm afraid you're sick," said Viola, he pulled Ardo's hand. But Ardo held him back.

"I'm hungry, man,"

"Let's eat, let me cook again," Viola asked again.

"But I want to eat you, it's been two months, Yang."

Suddenly Viola's cheeks were hot, thank God her husband came back again.

"Again, Mas" replied Viola.

At that moment Ardo's face was paled. He cursed in the heart. One of the things he hated the most was his wife's monthly guest. Later he will make Viola pregnant again so that the guest does not come.

Viola chuckled at the gloomy face of her husband, he liked this one more than the face some time ago. "Patience dear, eat rice. Let's be full,"
