Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 Chapter 25 – Assemblies

Gala's jaw tightened all morning. At dawn, they had reached home after 6 hours on the plane, where they slept well. Go back home to sleep again, before waking up at half 8 to get ready for Viani's apartment.

He saw his cell phone, on a screen that displayed the door of an apartment. Then his fingers turned to the chat messages sent to him, but only received after getting off the plane.

“Darling, you why?” ask Gemma who has been getting ready for Viani's apartment. “There's a problem?”

Gala shook her head awkwardly. “No pa-pa Dear. Ready yet?”

“Udah. Just wait for Gemini and Geraldo—“

“They don't have to come.” Gala prepared to stand without looking at Gemma directly in her eyes.

“Why?” ask Gemma confused.

“We aja. Viani can meet with them later.”

“Oh ... okay?” Gemma raised next to her eyebrows, but made no attempt to ask further.

For the next time, Gemma contacted Indra to meet together at Viani's apartment. Like their original plan, surprise their only child at their wedding.

Arriving there, Gemma walked through the 120-square-meter apartment that was started by the luxury kitchen, past the dining table, turning towards the living room with a large L sofa. For the next lead to one of the bedroom doors that Viani often used to sleep.

The woman placed the cake she bought on the coffee table. The apartment looked quiet, maybe Viani was still sleeping.

A smile on his lips as he remembered the child who was now very mature. At the age of 27, Viani even seemed ready to make a household. But no matter how big Viani is, she is still a small baby in Gemma's eyes, even though the child was born in a forced marriage that she did not want.

But that scene changed as he opened the door.

“Viani woke—“ Gemma covered her mouth with both hands. His eyes widened and his body trembled.

His heart stopped beating for a few seconds. His entire five senses were paralyzed and his tongue suddenly faded as if the sight was penetrating and damaging his soul. I don't want to believe it, but it's not a dream.

Gemma was in shock for a moment.

***

Seeing his wife standing there, Gala came to him and saw what was happening.

Vincent and Viani are in the same bed. Their clothes were strewn everywhere and their look was extremely disheveled. Surely under the blanket, they did not wear a thread.

Which unslicensed parent's heart saw his daughter—who had been desperately keeping—involved in an extramarital relationship and had gone too far like this? Especially with their best friend's son, who is thought to be guarding the honor of the girl.

The man who was the son of his best friend paled after they were discovered. “O-om?”

Viani who had just regained consciousness, immediately covered her body with a blanket up to the neck. His face was no less surprised than Vincent's.

She was embarrassed, very embarrassed because her parents must have known that she was in a state of no clothes at all, with a man who was not her husband. “Papa ..”

Gala looked at Vincent flatly, her expression unreadable at all. However, the aura inside Papa continued Viani was so dark and frightening.

“Take your clothes. I wait outside.”

Gala closed the door and took Gemma to her seat.

Gemma could no longer think. He called Niko to come here.

***

Vincent and Viani immediately put on their clothes again. For a long moment, they sat and fell silent on the bed.

Viani squeezed her hair violently. Even though last night she got out of control and turned into a bad girl, she still remembered all the outlines that happened.

How Vincent touched it and how it all went on to a much more distant stage.

"I'm sorry, Vin. All because of me!"

Vincent took his breath. He also took part here. Had he been able to control himself, instead of confining themselves to each other in different rooms? All these assumptions have passed and are in vain.

After this Viani doesn't know what's going to happen. Could he be tried, slapped, scolded, or perhaps removed from the family card, then exiled from the Aditya family and the Suteja family?

In the midst of his raging thoughts, Vincent stuck out his hand, clasped Viani's hand tightly and led her to stand towards the door. The man's gaze was as tense as Viani's now, even the gentle elusan on Viani's arm from Vincent was unable to calm her down at all.

They are like at the tip of a horn, between life and death.

The man landed a kiss on the top of Viani's head at a glance. “I will not run. We're facing it together, huh?”

“What if we get kicked out? From your family or my family no one wants to accept?”

“We face together, I will not go even if our family no one wants to admit us.”

Viani did not respond, but she tightened her grip on Vincent's hand. The fear was clearly implied on Viani's face, and Vincent could feel it.

They stepped out of the same door in full clothes.

***

At this time, Agus and Damar stood guard outside while holding the access card, and invited Indra who had arrived to enter. Instantly the mood changed. From cheerful, so silent full of anger.

Gala and Indra were standing facing a large glass that featured the streets of the capital near the dining table. The eyes of the two men were sharp, like they were about to hit the big glass until it broke.

On the sofa, Gemma sat down with a blank look. Remembering the bad memories that had befallen him decades ago.

Something he had wanted from the beginning so that Viani would never get involved in a relationship that far. He did not want his son to have the same trauma as him. But now?

The three people did not speak at all, everything was silent. Too quiet.

When their son came out, all the parents raised their heads, looking straight at Viani and Vincent.

Gala started breathing heavily. He was about to advance, but Indra had already preceded him to reach Viani. His steps were uncontrollable, and his profile was completely dark.

Bugh!

“B*JEAN! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SON!” Indra shouted and was about to lash out at Vincent for the second time, but Gala immediately came forward holding back. “What the fuck? Release me!”

“Hold your emotions, Ndra,” said Gala growled.

“Didn't you see what this b*jetan did to my son?”

“I see and I'm angry, Ndra!!”

“Where is he said to install CCTV in front of Viani's apartment? Your bullshit, Gala! Free escort! Look at my son!”

“Vianj is also my son, damn it!”

No matter the warning of Gemma's husband, Indra breaks away from Gala and again wants to attack Vincent. But his steps stopped when Viani put her body in front of her lover.

Indra's chest was deflated, Viani stared at with a shadow of wrath. “Soide you, Vi! I want to kill him!”

Viani was frightened, but she shook her head and did not want to step aside.

“Vi, let your Papa hit me. Move, Vi ..”

Viani shook her head again at Vincent and remained unmoved, she retreated until a ledge in front of Vincent's towering tall body.

“MINGGIR!” Indra is getting up.

“Whatever Vincent did, it was all because of Viani being at fault, Pa. Viani who is to the club, Vincent drags Viani from there .. moment ..." Viani lowered her head and whispered, "when there are people who mix drugs on Viani drinks ..."

Gemma began to shed tears and covered her face with both hands. “Ya, Lord .. Viani ..” himself out of words.  Disappointed, sad, and angry into one twisted his already fragile heart. The wound he had covered for a long time and should have healed, was again forcefully opened by his own son.

Gala immediately came hugging the wife tightly. He still did not want to talk about anything, because this time was the realm of Indra and Gemma. Those who are more entitled to search and prosecute the children.

Seeing the situation of Viani earlier, Gala also remembered her guilt for Gemma and how difficult it was to keep girls from this kind of association.

The man remembered Gemini and his eyes began to glaze over. This morning's incident made him think a no-no about his youngest child.

“You must be the one who chekokin my son, right?!” Indra raised his hand again to slap Vincent.

But Viani immediately restrained the father so begging. “Pa! That's not true!! Viani please, don't hit Vincent again ..”

“Vi, let alone,” said Vincent who seemed very resigned to receive all the anger from his two lover's father. “I was wrong. I deserve to receive.”

“No can do that, Vin! It's not your fault!”

“What is it because then you immediately take my child and take a chance in a narrowing when my child is helpless?” Indra stared intently at Viani.

“What have you been together like this, Vi? Or maybe you have been like this from the beginning? This is how you're behind us, HUH?!"

Viani's body trembled as it received anger from Indra. His face lowered and he dared not look at his three parents who were currently looking at him with almost the same expression. But if Viani doesn't protect Vincent right now, Indra will be out of control.

Sure enough, Indra has returned and got rid of Viani until the girl fell to hit Vincent.

Unfortunately, one hit back landed on Vincent's cheek, the man again fell due to the hard hit Indra. Vincent has no intention of dodging as Indra prepares to hit him again.

“Papa!” chuckling Viani just as Gala came swiftly to prevent and lock the man's body and led him to the sofa near Gemma, standing opposite Viani and Vincent.

Indra's breath was broken, his emotions were out of control and he almost beat Vincent. His most primitive self-desire really wanted to eliminate the child for ruining his beloved little daughter.

Suddenly Indra slumped, sat down beside Gemma and cried sobbing while covering her face. Now, he looks like a father whose heart is broken, fragile, and helpless.

Gala couldn't bear to see it. He can only duck, unable to look at the condition of Indra who is in turmoil. Until finally Indra stopped crying and threw away his face, not wanting to look at Vincent and Viani.

Viani came forward timidly, standing right in front of her three parents. “Papa, Mama, let Viani explain once again .. Vincent is not wrong. When I went to the club, someone mixed my drink with medicine.

When he saw someone who wanted to do me harm, Vincent dragged me from there. And we only realized when we reached the apartment, it turns out that Vincent and I showed the same reaction shortly after we drank from a bottle of mineral water, which I brought from the club.”

No matter how Viani tried to explain, it made no difference. All the expressions there were only disappointment, shock and anger, and guilt.

A few minutes all was silent on the spot.

Amidst that silence, Vincent sets his heart, stepping in to bravely face the three Viani parents. He knelt before them.

“Tante Gemma, Om Gala and Om Indra. It's purely my fault. Please, do not punish Viani, let me bear it.”

No one talks anymore. Gemma did not respond to Vincent's words. From far away, Gala came closer, slowly like a lion willing to pounce on its prey.

One slap floated on Vincent's cheek that had been bruised. The man faintly smelled a rancid smell and a taste of iron, coming out from one corner of his torn and bloody lips.

Despite getting hit again, Vincent knelt down again and improved his position. “I'll take all the punches from you guys .. I know, sorry it won't do any more good now. I am ready to take responsibility.”

Gemma and Gala suddenly lifted their faces staring at Vincent.

"You're a doctor, right? You're a doctor and you should know how to handle it!!" Gala pointed at Vincent's face and shouted in front of him. "You have desecrated our son!! YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF HIM!"

All swearing and swearing, Gala mentioned to Vincent that morning. Vincent just bowed resignedly, receiving all the Gala's mounting anger.

“You know what makes me disagree with you first, when you guys SMA and show mutual love?”

Vincent and Viani raised their heads, while Gemma looked at her husband with frowns.

“Do you know how your father married your mother before? You know how much scared I am, just in case you're gonna do the same thing your mom and dad used to?”

“GALA!” Gemma rebuked her husband. “Do not bring la—“ time

“But it is true, Gem!! I was indeed a friend of Niko's, but I was a wary father .. and now, my fear has come true!! The fruit fell not far from the tree, look, Gem! I don't want what happened to you, repeated the same Viani!"

“Ooh .. So because of that, you don't want Vincent near Viani? Because I'm a perverted parent who teaches my son promiscuity, so?”

All heads turned towards the voice. Where Niko was standing there, stared intently at Gala.
