Not a Curse
9. Rejection of Erland


"Sorry, I can't!!"


Erland refused firmly. Prayer stood up to leave the room.


"Wait Erland!!"


"Om begging you, you only need to marry Viola. After that we will let him go forever. You're the only guy she loves Er. So before his departure, let Om beg you to grant his wish all along. You know for yourself, don't you, if she loves you so much??"


Erland was silent because it was the truth. It can even be said that Erland took part in the Viola suicide.


"But you know yourself, right, that Erland just got married?? How do I fix my wife when I know I want to marry another woman?? Can you imagine it yourself, right?? I don't think it was the right decision"


Erland remained adamant with his stance. There should be other ways besides marrying Viola to her.


"Then Om should how Er?? Om no longer knew how to make him happy in his last days" The old man began to cry in front of Erland.


"Om will give you whatever you want Er, as long as you want to marry Viola. Please Er, just follow Viola's wishes once"


"This is not a nominal problem Om. But this concerns Om's feelings. How's my wife, my new corn wedding??" Erland became furious because Papi Dito seemed to want to buy it with money.


"Sorry Om, I think it's quite up here. My wife was waiting at home" Regardless of Papi Dito again, Erland walked out of the company leader's room.


His heart was already rumbling, annoyed for sure. But who wants to take it out on who.


Erland remembered Sarah's premonition before leaving, if Sarah felt something was wrong with them. It may be true if the wife's premonition is strong for her husband.


Erland rushed home to see his wife. His condition is currently not okay. He needs someone who can calm him down.

Upon arrival at home, Erland went straight into the room. Where his wife usually is.


"Have you gone home yet?"


Sarah was surprised that Erland suddenly hugged her.


"Why Mas?? What's up?" Sarah felt there was a strange alley on her husband.


"You're right Sarah, your gut feeling is right. They're not right"


Sarah unraveled her husband's embrace, seeing clearly her husband's gloomy face.


"Wait, explain first what's really going on. I don't know what you mean!!"


Erland took off her suit and sat down languidly on the bed


"Viola's condition is on the decline, and the Doctor asks his family to take it"


"If it's the best why not. The doctor has suggested the most appropriate thing, right?? So why are you so sad?" Sarah was surprised by her husband, but even began to suspect that Erland was harboring a taste for Viola.


"The problem is not that Sarah. But their request to me before they release the aid was Viola's body. That's what makes me so object"


Erland knew this news would definitely make Sarah furious. But before Sarah hears from others, especially Vino, it is better for Erland herself to tell Sarah.


"What did they ask of you??"


Erland looked deeply at Sarah's beautiful face before saying the painful news.


"They asked me to marry Viola"


"What!!"


Exactly, Erland's guess is that Sarah's going to be that surprised.


"No, can't it be Mas?? You didn't take it, did you??"


Serah walked to the left and to the right unsettled.


"No, I don't want to sacrifice our marriage. Let alone hurting your feelings" Either way Sarah is the woman Erland loves.


Erland hasn't just accepted Sarah's been that angry. What would it be if Erland really obeyed the request of her Papa Viola.


"Don't talk to Sarah!! I still choose you. You're the only woman I love. Now relax, I'm gonna take a shower. Looks like my head needs to be flush with cold water"


Erland left Sarah who was still moving unsettled. Her long and beautiful fingernails were bitten by her little because of her raging feelings.

"How's Pi??"


Vino immediately greeted Papi Dito as soon as he arrived at the wife's room.


Papi Dito only answers Vino with his weak belt, which makes Vino again drop his body on the hospital sofa.


"Erland doesn't want Pi?" Papi Dito immediately turned to the owner of the weak voice. So surprised that his wife already knew about this.


"Mami heard our conversation earlier Pi" Vino explained before his Papa accused Vino of telling his mother.


Finally Papi Dito resigned and approached his wife. In his hand that felt dingi.


"True Mi, she doesn't want to. He loved his wife so much. Papi has also offered him a lot of money. But he resolutely refused" Papi Dito sat limp next to his wife.


Vino clearly knew that his best friend would never be interested in the name of money if not from the results of his own hard work.


"Then after this what should I do Pi??" Ask Mama Via again weakly.


Papi Dito just shook his head slowly. Right now his brain was completely dead-end, task could think at all.


"Excuse me, Mrs. The doctor called the guardian of Miss Viola to immediately leave the ICU room" the nurse said with a panicked face.


Without thinking about the display again, Vino immediately jumped from the sofa running in the room that became his sister's place two weeks.


Arriving there, Vino could still see if the Viola had finished checking.


"How's the Doctor doing?? What the hell is going on??" Panic Vino.


"This is the first seizure in ten days. His condition is really deteriorating for now. How's the Viola family decision?? What did you guys take??" Ask Doctor Papi Dito's old friend.


Vino shook his head, because indeed he was not convinced by the decision to remove all the tools of the maid.


"As soon as you make a choice, there's no way you'll ever see your sister lying there alone and in pain as it just happened"


Vino was still silent, with the occasional look of Viola sleeping behind that glass wall.


"Well Doctor, do your best according to Doctor for my sister. But give us a little more time to realize my sister's wish for the last time"

The next day Erland was back in his office. One day missing just for a day accompanying his wife makes him so happy.


Erland refocused on the pile of files on her desk. Just in a day's stay, his job was that much.


"Get!!"


The voice of a man who was very familiar to Erland.


"Tumben came here early in the morning Vin what's wrong??"


"Er, please marry my sister!!"
