Not a Curse
72. Regretting

Erland's car finally arrived at a market that was already crowded when it was still dark. For the first time in years Erland finally set foot again in the place called the market.

"You wait here yank, let me buy you"

"Follow!!" Viola also took off her seatbelt following Erland.

The muddy market streets made Erland stop Viola's move. Without Viola's approval, Erland immediately clasped Viola's hand.

"The road is muddled, let it not slip" Erland said as she felt the rejection from Viola.

Erland resumed her steps after Viola only silently received a hand from Erland.

The two of them actually walked through the market that morning. The distinctive smell of the market does not make both of them disturbed though.

"Have you ever been to the yank market??"

"Ever" answered Viola briefly.

"Abang think your rich conglomerate son never went to the market" Smile on Erland's lips never faded since Viola offered himself to come to the market with Erland.

"Don't go to the market, so the street sweeper never aided" murmured Viola but it can still be heard by Erland.

"I'm sorry Brother, because your brother is suffering. You should live like a princess. But because of you, you're forced to be independent"

"No problem. Because from there I know that love will not be obtained in any way if the person we love never intends to open his heart to us" A very telling sentence for Erland.

"Remember..."

"That's the cat let's buy it!!" Cut the Viola while looking at the merchant with a wide variety of fish.

"The catfish is one kilo. Ask for help in cleaning all of you" Viola said kindly.

"Yes Neng, what else??"

"Enough Sir"

"Hot heat hot hot watch out look out. Step aside and step aside" said a porter carrying a large sack on his back.

"Revelation!!" Erland pulled Viola's waist to get close to him.

Viola looked beside him, apparently he was almost hit by the sack that was carried by the porters earlier. At a time like this, Viola's heart seemed to be unable to cooperate with its owner. Viola was still angry at Erland, but his heart was racing with no idea of him.

"Here, don't go in the middle. Later hit by a porters' brace again" Erland held Viola to stay beside him by tightening his hands on Viola's waist.

Viola remained silent even though his eyes glanced at his waist which had been embraced by Erland.

"It's already Neng"

"How much Sir??"

"Thirty thousand Neng"

Viola took out fifty thousand in cash for the merchant.

"The return is in the love of bloated fish only sir"

"Ready Neng" said the merchant cool-ass.

"Here let my brother take it!" Erland grabbed the plastic bag the merchant had given her.

Now Erland's hands are not empty, his left hand holds the plastic catfish while his right hand is used to hold Viola's hand.

"Let's just wash your brother, you sit down yank" Erland grabbed the plastic catfish from Viola's hand. He stood in front of the sink to wash it himself.

Finally Viola lenih chose to make the seasoning, he thought to make it faster. But Viola immediately stared intently at Erland, as the man came back to stop him.

BRAKKKIS...

Viola threw the knife he used to peel the onions.

"What do you really want?? I want to help you so you can eat fast. I don't like it when I help!!" Viola's breath was sharpened because his anger just escaped.

"Darling, instead of Brother you don't like you helping Brother. But I just want you not to be bothered with my brother. That's because you know you're still not comfortable with your brother"

Viola silently looked straight into her husband's eyes.

"Abang continued first yes, if you sleep aja no papa. Let Abang finish this first, Brother is very lager" Erland immediately turned back to the sink. Start washing the catfish again until it is completely clean.

But the pair of hands that hugged him from behind was able to make him freeze.

"Darling to..."

"I don't know if you'll ever lie to me again or not. But right now I want to trust you very much" Violan's voice sounded so softly in Erland's ears.

Erland washed her hands clean and turned back to return Viola's embrace.

"Surely Brother was tormented because you silenced Brother for days, dear. Brother admitted wrong, brother apologized, but don't be like this Brother beg you"

Erland peeked at the head of the Viola repeatedly.

"Are you angry?? Brother kangen is with you. Brother kangen pray with you" Viola nodded in Erlsnd's arms.

"Now, let Brother continue first. After that we ate both, huh??" Viola nodded back.

"But let me make the spice, huh??" Viola said.

"Yes dear. But the fish want to be cooked all right??"

"No need tomorrow" replied Viola.

The two of them are now completely reconciled. Not infrequently they throw a smile when the gazes of the two of them meet.

Both are like teenagers who just feel love. It feels so hot and always wants to get a lot of attention from one of them.

The fried catfish with warm rice is ready on the table. Totally according to what Erland wanted. Erland's eyes even glistened at him.

"Let's eat" said Viola because Erland never touched the rice"

"There's actually one more desire brother yank"

"What's that??"

"Abang pingin in your bribe, but use your hands directly. Not using a spoon, can't you??"

Without an answer, Viola directly pulled the plate containing warm rice in front of him. Started taking the rice on the plate with his hands, then pointed it at Erland.

"Please love" Erland said before opening her mouth to accept Viola's bribe.

"You eat too dong dear" But Viola flanged.

"Why??" Erland frowned.

"I don't like catfish" Viola's reply made Erland's heart warm. The woman in front of him did not like the kind of fish that Erland did not like, but somehow Erland wanted it tonight. But what makes Erland so touched is, Viola does not like but he wants to accompany Erland to the market and help Erland to cook it.

Erland felt lucky to get Viola. It turns out that the woman who once had Erland refused desperately, even to the heart of distancing himself, now Erland was crazy about him.

Only God knows and only God can turn a person's heart.

"Viola" Call Erland gently, making Viola turn to look at her husband.

"Abang is sorry to have made you Brother's second wife"

Degs...

Viola's heart was like being hit by a rock so hard.

"Why??"
