Not a Curse
22. Decisions

Viola did not give any answer to Erland, he just cleaned up his things.

"Where are you going, Vi, going home??"

Viola remained silent then moved from his seat leaving Erland.

"Abang's coming with Vi??"

Viola immediately stopped and looked at Erland sharply.

"Find your own inn!! A lot of money, right??"

Viola continued his steps. Unconcerned Erland who began to protest followed him behind.

"But Brother is your husband Vi, so yes he should go with his wife"

"Gue never considered you my husband" Viola found no one in his clinic.

Her sense of anguish for Erland grew even more after Viola saw the pedal from Beca. His friend deliberately went home first to give time to the couple.

"Gue will think again about the condition of Mami. But right now don't bother me. If you follow me, you won't be able to take me home!!"

Viola got into his car, leaving Erland who was still staring at Viola until his car pulled away.

Viola doesn't care who Erland's staying at. Viola needs time, he won't be able to bring the source of his trouble to come to his apartment.

Viola contacted Beca, who had apparently been looking for lodging. Beca thought Erland would stay at their apartment. So he took the initiative to stay somewhere else.

"Why Vi??"

"Go home, I'm not taking him to the apartment!!"

Such a short call from Viola, since the woman was clearly not doing well.

Upon arrival at the apartment, a security guard stopped Viola who was already in front of the elevator.

"Excuse me Miss" (think sono ye language 🤭 )

The security guard pulled a large silver suitcase.

"So there's a guy coming here said your husband Miss. But then he left again, but he left this suitcase at our place. Since he didn't come back, we handed him the suitcase" the man pushed his suitcase in front of Viola.

"But he..."

"Sorry Madam, I have to get back to work"

Viola kicked the suitcase with anxiety. I don't want to have to bring her into her apartment.

"Wait Vio!!"

Beca suddenly came to stop the elevator that had begun to close its doors.

"Well, where are you from??"

"Gue is just from the hotel next door, not far away. Whose suitcase is it??" Beca saw the suitcase Viola was carrying.

"The damned human suitcase"

"Why can it be the same?? He said he didn't come here??" Beca looked at Vio in surprise.

"So before he went to the clinic he was here first and his suitcase was dropped off at the security post. Someone gave it to me. Nervous of people"

They both reached the floor of his apartment. Walk towards one of the doors on the floor. Apartments are rented both of them, but this apartment is far different from the first they occupy. If it used to be just a shabby flat with one room only, until eating and sleeping into one. Now their apartments are much larger and expensive. With two bedrooms and another room which includes spacious.

"Don't that Vi. No matter where she is now your husband" Beca pressed some numbers to open the door to her apartment.

The two three-headed women one by one entered their apartment.

"Gue never thought he was my husband" Viola threw her on the couch.

"Hussshh don't do that!! Ntar kualat for being an ungodly wife" Beca overtook Viola sitting on the sofa after taking off her thick coat.

"By the way you don't like him Vi. Outside it was cold, especially I just saw that he did not wear a coat" Viola saw Erland's suitcase that he had dumped next to the television.

"Let's go, there's a lot of money. Can buy it" Beca can only shake because her best friend was not seen to hate Erland but it looks very childish.

"It's right to Vi. But what exactly was the point here??"

Viola closed his eyes, hearing Beca's question already made him dizzy.

"He took me home. And crazy again, he asked my same son"

"Ohuk.. " Beca choked on her own saliva.

"What Vi?? It's not wrong with me. Lo want??"

"Ogah's right" Viola throbbed.

"Keep, you want to be here??"

"That's what makes me dizzy Ca. I do not want to go home with him, care very much about my status which is still tied to him. But Mami's sick of Ca, her heart's already getting worse. Mama has never come here. I confused Ca" Viola started to let out a small puff of her lips.

"What makes you confused??"

"Everyone, if I go home. I will keep in touch with him. If I don't go home I've become a bad boy" Viola immediately hugged Beca. He needs a backrest right now.

Beca let Viola cry first. Gently rubbed his back, giving peace to his only friend and family.

After Viola started to calm down, Beca let out her advice.

"Viola denger cave" Beca released Viola from her embrace.

"Lo can't be rich forever gini continues. I know you're sick, I understand. The pain needs to be healed, right?? But what I've seen over the past three years, you're not trying to heal from your wounds, but you're just running away from the reality you're supposed to be facing"

"If you hate him, but in your heart you still keep his name tight. Lo still lost Vi. It's just that you're going to get sicker. Try to accept all this Viola"

Viola shook his head, he had not been able to do what Beca said.

"Gue can't bear Ca, everything hurts too much for me"

"The pain you are feeling right now is just Vi's revenge. Slow down Vi, I'm sure that you can be sincere, it's not going to hurt this much"

"So how am I supposed to Ca??" Viola started to wipe away her tears which made her makeup start to fade.

"Follow him home Vi. Find certainty about your own feelings. You are still in love or not with him. Once you get the answer, you can decide whether to go ahead or not. Talk to him again if your heart has the answer. Especially your parents Vi. Merkea must have been hoping her daughter would be back with them. It's been quite a runaway this time Vi. Be mature, show that you're a strong woman"

Once again Viola hugged Beca, but this time not with a cry like that.

"So how's the answer Vi?? Do you want to go home??"

Viola and Beca stared at each other. Maybe because of their friendship that has been established thirteen years, from the gaze of the eyes they can already read each other's minds. Their lips instantly lifted into a smile.

"From tomorrow don't schedule any more patients for me. Now I take a shower"
