Not a Curse
81. To Mother's house

Seeing Erland's reaction like that made Viola's hunger disappear instantly. He chose to put the meatballs he got from Yovi on the dining table. Sitting staring at the still hot plastic package while contemplating.

"Why is my fate like this?? I got married to a man I love. Not the happiness I get but the pain I receive"

"Sheikhlas whatever my lips say, but my heart always refuses. My heart never lies when it never wants to share. My heart will never accept if this marriage continues with the two women in it"

"O Allah, after my son was born, I gave it all to You. If separation is the best way for the healing of my heart. I prefer that path"

Viola passed towards his room. Back to the place where Viola hid herself every day. For a month he felt lonely in the house. It cannot be denied if his relationship with Erland who is not okay it makes him a little lonely. His college is also finished, want to go to the house Mama also do not want to make her parents know about her household problems.

Since that night, Viola and Erland's relationship has also been strained. If yesterday Erland would continue to persuade Viola, then it was different to the present. Erland did not reprimand Viola at all, she no longer even slept in front of Viola's room. They are so indifferent to each other.

But unlike Viola and Erland, for Sarah their silence was happiness for her. The sign of his plan began to bear sweet fruit. Just wait for the harvest to enjoy the results.

Sarah now does not talk much, nor does she demand much Erland, because she thinks her current position is still safe. Just waiting to sprinkle a little fertilizer when he feels threatened then he is sure everything will return to how it was.

"Want fried rice or Mas bread?? Let me get you" Sarah painstakingly began serving Erland as she once did.

The two of them were sitting at the dinner table, and it had been since the cold war began.

"Bread only" Erland answered briefly.

Chequek..

The sound of Viola's room door opening made Erland sharpen her hearing even though she held her head back so as not to turn to look at Viola.

"Where are you Vi, how are you tidy?? No breakfast yet??" Sarah asked who saw Viola walking out.

"There's business, and I'm not hungry" Viola replied, then stepped back.

"Why is he Mas?? Strange, he didn't even ask your permission. As if you weren't important to her" Sarah looked at Erland's jaw that looked hardened.

"I don't know, I'll go!!" Erland then moved to bring his bread that had just been smeared his favorite chocolate jam.

"Loh Mas!! My mother!!" Shouting Sarah tried to hold Erland back but suddenly laughed out loud by herself after Erland's departure.

Erland carried her sense of regret until she reached the office. His intention was that he wanted to chase after Viola, but it turned out that his wife had left so quickly that he did not give time for Erland to pursue her.

"I must how, O God, show me the way" Erland scooped up his pure white face.

And it seemed that God was directly listening to his prayer when his cell phone rang.

"Mother??" Mumbled.

"Hello ma'am, what's wrong??" Erland was afraid of anything happening to her mother because she had contacted her early in the morning.

"Erland, what are you doing?? His wife was very pregnant when she came here alone. You're not afraid that she's on the road??"

"What Mom?? So Viola's at Mom's??"

"Why is that surprised?? Don't tell me you didn't know Viola was here to discuss your son's seven-monthly event" Erland could hear his mother growling across the street.

"Erland get there now!!"

Erland immediately closed the call from her mother. Her smile just expanded with her wide steps out of her room.

"Thank you God, You have been quick to grant my prayers" He said in his heart.

"Mom's Assalamualaikum??" Erland said loudly from the entrance of her house.

"Waalaikumsalam, slowly Er" answered his mother.

Erland's gaze was immediately fixed on Viola who was sitting at the dining table enjoying the cake from the jar he was holding.

"Why didn't you say you were coming?? Kan was Abang can take you first" Erland rubbed Viola's head fondly.

"Say you're not paying attention to Viola so you don't know anything about your wife" Ketus Gendis told her own child.

"That's not it, ma'am, we..."

"So Vio did not say the same Bang Erland kok Bu. Lately Bang Erland is busy so Vio does not want to disturb it" Cut Viola.

"This kid has been crazy for work"

"Kan Erland works hard for all of us" Erland tried to defend himself.

"Yes, I know. Mother is only worried about your health if her work does not know the time" As a mother, of course, proud to see her son can be as successful as Erland, but in addition she is also worried about the health of her child.

"Yes Ma'am, Erland knows what I mean" Erland hugged his mother at a glance.

"Yes, how do you plan about the seven months. When's date?? What can you do for me??" The question of Gendis makes Erland directly Viola. There was a bit of disappointment in her heart because even Viola was reluctant to speak to Erland.

"If for the date, Vio wants after the wedding of Bang Vino and Endah only, so it is not troublesome. For the others Viola did not know what the seven-monthly problem was rich. That's why Viola asked for help with Mom" Viola explained.

"If the show's problems let me. I have an acquaintance who often takes care of rich events. If it's at home or here. Sacred events like this do not need to be luxurious, simple, important prayers" said Gendis who was directly approved by Viola and Erland.

"Let's Erland look for EO to take care of the house during the show Mom" Gendis nodded in agreement.

"But Viola wants to study ma'am, we continue to find orphans"

"If so let the day of the show continue at night or the lecture anyway. How's it??" Viola nodded happily. Erland also smiled after a month of not being able to see that beautiful smile.

"Now you go up first. I'm cooking for our lunch. Haven't you guys been eating Mom's cooking??"

"Viola help me??" Erland knew that Viola was trying to avoid her.

"No, you'll be exhausted. Er, quickly bring your wife in!!" Gendis's Order.

"Yes Ma'am" In Erland's heart was very grateful to his mother. She finally had time to be alone with Viola.

Viola who did not want her in-laws to know her relationship with Erland was tenuous just following what her in-laws wanted.

Erland opened the door for Viola to enter her room first. The two of them still closed their mouths. No one wants to start their own conversation.

Erland chose to sit on the sofa with her gaze straight ahead looking at Viola who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Can't be allowed!! This can't be allowed to drag on!!" Erland's determination in his heart.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" With a prayer in his heart Erland began to approach Viola.

Erland bent her knees to rest in front of Viola. Lifting his face up to lock Viola's eyes.

"Darling, we've been keeping quiet for a month like this. Brother can not stand it anymore, Brother gave up, Brother misses you so much" Erland's hand stretched out to caress the growing belly.

"If at that time Brother asked you to trust Brother, this time not. Brother will not demand that you believe again in the words of Brother because you do not have evidence to convince you. But.." Erland lowered her head wiping away the tears that had already seeped at the end of her eyes.

"Abang never lies to you. That night all you remember is eyes that are so heavy and then fall asleep. Until the next morning Brother woke up innocent without a thread. Brother kept trying to remember but the memory never existed in the brain. Until now, my brother also does not know why you can wake up in such a state. Whether you want to believe it or not is important you have told the truth, you will not force"

Viola was still unmoved looking at the man who was now crying underneath.

"So Brother also apologized for ignoring you. That night Brother was so disappointed with you because you prefer Yovi over Abang to buy you food. If you still want to be angry or silence Brother, Brother will accept. But please don't avoid Brother. You might be able to do it without your brother, but you are not. Brother tormented dear"

Erland grabbed both Viola's hands, then used them as her head pads on Viola's lap.

"Let it be like this for a minute, brother misses"

Viola felt his palms wet from Erland's tears. Although the man was crying in silence, Viola Love could see the man's back shaking.

Dugs...

Erland's head that was attached to Viola's stomach was exposed to movement from within Viola's stomach.

"Why are you kicking so hard, son?? Did you listen to Mama's words to teach Papa a lesson??" Viola's inner self that felt his son's kick was so strong.

"What is yank?? Did he kick??" Erland immediately raised her head.

"Darling, you know that this is Papa?? You want to play with Papa??" Erland placed her hand on Viola's stomach. I wish I could feel it again.

Dugs..

"Yank, look!! He must have known that his Papa brother. It turned out that now he was able to kick this strong" Erland smiled full day.

Erland cried apologetically and explained that Viola did not cry at all because he only considered all of it including the man's babbling. But when Erland was so happy to feel the presence of her son, Viola could not help but hold back her tears. He quietly wiped his tears that were almost dripping.
