Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
65. Weak Woman

Two days ago, Gemma failed to meet Viani at her school. First because Viani has gone home first. The second, he lost quickly to Indra.

Before going here, Gala had already called Gemma and encouraged the woman. But no matter how encouraging Gala was, the woman's feelings were still not calm.

This time he did not want to be cheated again. With an impatient heart, Gemma was waiting in front of Viani's school using her mother's old car, which she bought in 2015.

As soon as the bell rang, the children in Junior High came out in a row. Some are picked up by their parents, some are taking public transportation, some are walking. The number of students who came out made the situation there a little stuck.

When he finds a child who looks a lot like him, dressed in a blue white school uniform while carrying a backpack on his back, Gemma will not waste any more time.

“Viani..” call Gemma on her child.

The one called looks at Gemma. “Mama?”

“Mama kangen...” slowly, Gemma reached out her hand, reaching for Viani's hand to grasp tightly.

Although he now hated the father of this child so much, he could not also hate Viani. In the darkness of his life, Viani was the one who became the light for him, which kept him on the side of the jerk for 15 years.

Viani's facial expression turned complicated. There was doubt in his heart. She wanted to go to her mother, but she hesitated.

His eyes shimmered here and there, like he was looking for someone. Is the little girl looking for the whereabouts of the father who she says will be coming soon?

“Viani... Come with Mama..” pinta Gemma so smoothly.

Viani looked at the mother with so much worry. “But... Viani will be picked up by Papa soon.”

"Come on, just clash.." he talked to the boy.

"Ma, Viani can't. Papa must be nyariin."

"We tell him, let's not go."

"No, Ma. Yes, Viani wants to go home with Papa!" Viani shook her head, staring at the mama.

Gemma expression softens. “You're scared of Papa, Honey?”

“Not scared, Ma! I don't know if I want to come with Mama or Papa!” he replied in a slow but increasingly agitated tone.

Gemma thought hard. If she were to forcefully take Viani at this time, she would truly be a very selfish mother. How could he force Viani to choose between her father and her mother who should be together?

“Kalo gini, aja gini... Mama just wants to ask for a minute. We have lunch together wherever Viani wants. Mama misses, son.” bargain Gemma on her son. “Just a minute.. Please...”.

To be honest, the girl also missed her mother. His heart is still holding back. There is a fear of the father if until he obeyed the request of the mother. But...If only for a moment, why not?

But the father until now has not shown the trunk of his nose at all. While time is running faster and Viani is also getting hungry.

Hesitating, the girl nodded her head, making Gemma's smile inflate perfectly. He took Viani's hand cheerfully, led the boy to his car, “Ayo.... Viani want to eat where?”

“This... car Oma Mitha right?” ask Viani who recognized this car. “What Mama now stay at home Oma?”

“Iya, Darling. She lives in Oma Mitha's house. It belongs to Mama now. If you want or are bored, you can play to Mama.” house

“Totally?”

“Iya. Who else is lying!”

Viani finally made it into Gemma's car. The woman roared her car to the fast food restaurant Viani pointed to.

“Vi... You tell Papa that we're eating out.... Okay?”

“Yes, Mom..”

Shortly thereafter, Gemma's car arrived. They wait and eat together very warmly. A situation that has not happened for a long time between Gemma and her son.

Until a question is asked by the child, a question that is rather difficult to answer by the mother.

“Mama why leave Papa? What's wrong Papa until Mama can't forgive Papa?”

Gemma breathed heavily. He tried to explain it to Viani as subtly as possible. “Mama already feel no more match with Papa, Darling.”

“Ngot match how?”

“Mama can't tell much at the moment. Consider Mama who is demanding now. Someday you will understand. But remember this, baby... Your papa is very dear to you.”.

“Mama admits that the love between us has been eroded over time. The taste between us is so sweet. Therefore, Mama decided to establish a different relationship with your Papa. Even though we are not in love with each other anymore, but you will not lack the affection of both of us.”

“But... What does it mean if you're not together anymore, Ma? Viani wants you guys, not just Mama or just Papa.”

“Actually, Mama is also scared, Vi. Mama can't imagine what's going on between us. Mom...”

Gemma's tears shed unbearably, imagining that Viani's custody fell into Indra's hands. He was really afraid that Indra would forbid Viani from coming into contact with him.

“Ma, don't cry..” said Viani so sadly.

Gemma took out a tissue and wiped her tears. “Maafin Mom. Mama is a bad mother.”

“Tante Ranita?" gemma's eyes widened.

"Yes, Ma... Ever since Mama left, Aunt Ranita has always come to love food or make it straight for Viani."

Exorbitant! Not officially divorced, Indra has openly brought Ranita to the house. 

Until now, Viani had not even suspected anything. But it would not be wise at all if Viani knew the father's depraved behavior from the mouth of Gemma. Does Gemma have to let time unravel everything?

"Viani..."

The pair of mother and child simultaneously turned to the origin of the voice.

Indra was standing right behind her son with a very fierce look. It seems that he does not like that Viani secretly met his mother.

The man's eyes glared at Viani sharply. "Go home, now!"

"Mas, I beg you to let me drive Viani home" Gemma asked with a clear face.

"She's not your mother anymore, Vi. He has left us! Come... We're home."

Gemma looked around the public place. Too many people, and he doesn't want this tempest to consume too many people.

Silently, he followed Indra and Viani from behind, driving the boy until the husband closed the door from the passenger seat of his car tightly.

Indra turned around, pulling Gemma's arm slightly away from her car. Arriving at the edge of the parking post, Indra stopped without removing her squeezed hand on Gemma.

"Look! You have stayed with us, never again appear before Viani or before me!"

"Mas, no matter what, I'm Viani's mother! You can't say that to me and my son!"

"You don't have the same rights anymore.”

“You think I can't afford a lawyer?”

Indra grinned. The man took a step forward, glancing at Viani to make sure that the boy did not hear the next sentence he would call.

Slowly, he approached Gemma's face and whispered in her ear with a tone of voice that was so intimidating.

“Your budget will not be enough to fight me. After all, Ranita could be a better mother than you. My son, he's even closer to other people than you."

"I've been covering up all your depraved behavior from Viani. Isn't that enough, Mom? I don't want him to think you're evil. Why don't you act the same way I do?"

"I told you we can't get divorced. But you're insistent. This is the result if you dare to fight me!"

"I can bear the same venereal villain as you!"

"Tell me, call it loud to people if I'm a venereal villain! Let everyone know and humiliate Viani."

Seeing the silence of the woman, Indra even more heated up. "Heh... Even until now, you did not dare to talk to Viani about the matter between us. You weak woman!"

Indra's sentence is exactly like a dagger that stabbed the inner Gemma many times, spurring Gemma's adrenaline until she felt almost trouble breathing. His face turned red and his hands were now firmly grasped until the veins of his hands were sticking out.

He was unconscious again, knowing that his palm felt red and sore. When she looked back at Indra, her husband's face was already bounced to the side with cheeks that were no less red.

“Stupid Bit***ch!” indra's anger soared, he prepared to launch a counterattack.

Gemma just resigned when her face also crashed. The pain in his cheek was nothing compared to his current heartache.

“Mama!” jerrit Viani's.

“Do not come down!” his orders were so arrogant to Viani that the boy was about to get out of his car. His index finger was raised to point at Gemma's face. “Without me, you will be destroyed and you will be alone!"

Even though her cheeks hurt, she did not cry at all. “You've been told Viani saw you hit me, you think you can get your son's heart by kayak gini?”

“I will win in court later!”

“Oh is?” Gemma's turn looks more suspicious. For no reason that Indra could guess, the woman suddenly smirked.

“Karma will go down on those who cheat, Indra! When that judgment comes, you think you'll get all Viani included?”

Indra once again tried to hit Gemma, but the woman caught her hand and squeezed it firmly.

“I won't fall in love with you again! I've given you a hundred percent of my life and I won't want to give up under you. I'm not weak, and I can stand alone!!"

Gemma slaps Indra's hand and leaves from there, leaving the future ex-husband glued to his place in a stifled rage.

Indra wondered in her heart. What does karma mean to a cheat?

How far does Gemma know all her actions?
