The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Holy Woman

Sherina's still angry. That's what Vicky's thinking right now. It was not without reason that she thought so, the reason being that Sherina did not appear at dinner this time. Of course this was realized by Ariana and Velix, they both felt there was something different in the atmosphere tonight.

"Sister Vicky, why isn't sister-in-law coming to dinner with us? Is he still sick?" velix asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Eh? I-it ... Sherina is fine, she's not coming because she wants to rest in her room. Don't worry too much, there will be a waiter delivering dinner to his room" replied Vicky who had an awkward face.

"Oh, then later I will see the condition of brother-in-law! I want to make sure she's okay!"

"Don't!" prevent Vicky spontaneously. Velix was confused.

"Why?"

"Ehmm .. Look, for now don't bother him. Let him rest and recuperate calmly." Vicky was looking for an excuse, it was impossible for him to tell his little sister, that Sherina was actually angry with him.

"Bcr ... Vicky sister why, anyway? I promise I won't be noisy! Just see what the problem is?" velix protests.

"Just don't!" answer Vicky who then looked away. Returning to continue eating dinner without serving questions from his sister.

On one side Ariana secretly felt happy. The reaction shown by Vicky just now made him even more convinced that something bad had happened between his son and his son-in-law. "Ehem! Velix, don't ask questions, okay?"

"I didn't ask you anything, I just wanted to know why sister-in-law didn't come to dinner with us! Is there something wrong with my simple question?" refute Velix who was already upset with Vicky's convoluted answer.

"Velix, just listen to me this time, okay? You're a kid, still don't understand how the adult world works. Moreover, the world of marriage, it is only natural that there are husband and wife who quarrel or dispute. Think of it like your friendship at school, sometimes you will also have different opinions or fight with your friends. And in the end, if there is no way to resolve, your friendship is extinct. Marriage relationships are like that too. Your sister is married, maybe it will happen to her soon" Ariana said lightly without thinking about Vicky's feelings.

"I mean Mother? Brother Vicky and Brother Sherina can split up over a fight?" asked Velix with a glaring look.

"Yes ... it might just be~" replied Ariana without burden.

"What?! That can't be! I don't want another sister-in-law besides Sherina! Come on, Vicky! Don't be with sister-in-law anymore! Let's get better!" pinta Velix tugging at Vicky's hand.

"Velix, enough! Don't exaggerate!" Vicky put Velix's hand away from him, then turned to look at Ariana with a sharp look. "How can you say that? Even more in front of Velix!"

"Huh, was mom wrong? What you said is all the truth." Ariana was upset, she didn't feel guilty. Then he continued to enjoy the dinner menu. For him, the taste of the dish this time so much more delicious than the days before.

Ckck, it's so happy for my heart. It turned out that Vicky and Sherina were already at odds by themselves, there was no need to intervene from me to create trouble between them. This makes it easier for me, I just stay fanning the fire that has been lit so that the fire is getting bigger.

Suddenly in the midst of this tense situation came Uncle Will. He ventured to get closer to Vicky, then whispered something to her, "Master, there's a guest!"

"Guests? Then tell him to wait in the living room. I'll see him later" replied Vicky a little sniffly. His mood was still not fully in good condition, let alone that it had been composed by his own mother.

"But Mr. .. this time the guest seems very important. There were two people who came, one of them claimed to be a doctor. He said he wanted to meet with you to discuss the results of laboratory tests" whispered Uncle Will again.

"What-what?!" Vicky gasped.

No doubt, it must be Aslan! Previously for suspected poison, Sherina's blood was taken as a sample, she said she wanted to tell me if the lab test results were out. However, now Aslan even came alone to the residence. Maybe there is something important.

Without a second thought, Vicky immediately got up from the chair. "Sorry, I have to welcome an important guest! Mom and Velix just go ahead and have dinner!"

Vicky along with uncle Will rushed off to the living room. And true as Vicky had expected, the one who was visiting was Aslan. However, with the other person, he felt doubtful whether he had met her before or not.

"Good you're here! There's something important I want to talk to you about! And uhmm .. This is a secret, if we can just talk in a quiet place!" aslan pinta.

"Okay, then let's go to my room!" Vicky immediately agreed, somehow he began to feel a little nervous because Aslan's movements were different from usual.

Vicky invites Aslan with an unidentified man to enter and talk in his reading room. As the host, Vicky also invited these two impromptu guests to sit on a long sofa that is soft and comfortable.

"So, what kind of serious thing got you here?" ask Vicky to Aslan.

Aslan took a deep breath, he himself was also nervous. "First of all, I introduced you to this person beside me. Ardian Ricky Pamungkas, he's a surgeon like me, and he's the current Chairman of the Medical Association."

"Well, I feel like I'm no stranger! I've seen you appear on the news. Nice to meet you, Doctor Ricky!" vicky said as he reached out to shake hands with the Chairman of the Medical Association.

"It's good to see you too, Mr. Vicky. No need to be too shy, I'm also Aslan's friend, just like you," Ricky said in a respectful tone. He behaved this way because he felt that Vicky was indeed a person worthy of respect.

"Ehem! You guys already know each other, so now can we start our serious conversation! And earlier ... Vicky, I want to apologize to you first" Aslan said with an awkward smile.

"Look, I told you earlier that your wife's blood was taken as a sample to be tested in the lab. It's just, the results of this test leaked to my friend ... hehe," Aslan replied as he glanced at Ricky.

"leak? Was the result so amazing that it gained the attention of a Medical Association Chairman?" vicky asked with a sharp look at Ricky, feeling that there might be a hidden purpose behind Ricky's appearance today.

Ricky leisurely took a breath. Then Vicky returned a sharp look and said, "Sorry, but I can't answer your question right now. Since this matter is so important, then I need to meet directly with the person concerned. Mr. Vicky, I'm asking you to get your wife here!"

"...." - ".For a moment Vicky was silent, thinking that maybe this was a really serious problem. However, while Sherina is still sulking at him, she hesitates to call or meet Sherina.

"Alright, I'll ask my servant to call my wife here." Vicky got off the couch and went to find Will's uncle to pick up Sherina in his room.

Shortly after, Will's uncle returned with Sherina, and brought several cups of tea to be served to guests. Not to forget, Vicky asked Uncle Will to stand guard outside the door, because he did not want anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"I'm here, please Doctor explain how my lab test results. Am I really poisoned?" asked Sherina without further ado to Aslan. He also still did not stare or smile at Vicky, the anger in his heart had not completely disappeared.

"Ah, wait!" Aslan then handed over some of the paper reports of the examination results to Sherina. The report is counted because the sample given is also several kinds, including clothes affected by spills of toxins, blood and urine. "Sherina, are you a holy woman?"

"What-what?!" asked Sherina and Vicky in unison. They were both shocked by Aslan's words just now. It's a silly question, but they don't laugh because they think that a doctor would be impossible to joke about the results of laboratory tests.

"What do you mean, doctor? Why suddenly call me a holy woman?" asked Sherina with a confused face.

"Look, I'll tell you straight away so you don't have to read and understand the test results yourself. Although it sounds silly, but I don't carelessly say it. First, because your test results are very surprising, even arguably magical! Well, I'll explain about the results of the fluid residue test stuck to your shirt." Aslan then pointed to a report paper that was opened on the table, so that Sherina and Vicky could read it together.

"Note to this, the liquid left on your shirt back then turned out to be really poison! And after investigation, this poison contains a very dangerous substance. It can be from snakes, and from nearly 3,000 species of snakes, only about 200 species have the ability to paralyze humans."

"W-what? Snake venom ... how could there be such a poison, from which my stepmother could obtain it?" asked Sherina who was quite shocked by Aslan's explanation.

"That's easy, such a dangerous poison to get on the black market. In the undergroud world, something like this was natural, there were even crazier things. Dangerous goods, not just poison, if the goods are banned by the government, then it can still be obtained on the black market. Most likely the poison that gave you was bought from there," said Ricky who again made Sherina flabbergasted.

"Ehem! I will continue my explanation again!" aslan. "Specifically, the snake venom contained in this venom comes from the species of snake Russel Viper. In general, people who have been bitten by this snake, in just a few moments the blood will become thick. Automatically the heart will not be able to pump blood throughout the body, so there is a heart attack."

"Snakes can be hemotoxic, which is toxic to the blood. The red blood cells will die, then prevent blood clots, which will result in internal and external bleeding. If you do not get help immediately, then the consequences will be fatal. But, this is totally inversely related to your case, Sherina. You showed absolutely no symptoms of intoxication, and are still healthy today."

"I-I don't know either" Sherina replied with her head down.

"What's wrong, we've got the answer. Laboratory results from urine samples showed no problems. Your health condition is completely normal, there is no infection, there are no kidney problems, and your blood sugar levels are under control. However, in your blood sample, we found something special!"

"What's that?!" asked Sherina who looked up at once.

"Hehe, you're curious yes, the answer .. jeng-jeng-jeng .. is ...."

THE PLAQUE!

"Don't joke! Explain the truth!" snapping Ricky while hitting Aslan's shoulder.

"Ck, you're so boring" Aslan lamented as he rubbed off Ricky's punches.

"Quick say!" pinta Vicky who was also made curious half dead.

"Yes-yes ...." Aslan snorted angrily, then turned back the paper report of the test results, as well as pointing at a different section. "It says, if in the blood sample, Sherina has antibodies that are many times stronger than humans in general! It is certain that these powerful antibodies are the cause of the poison that has no effect on Sherina's body! In short, Sherina is a human who is immune to poisons! This is the reason why I called her a holy woman!"

"Sherina is immune to poison?" ask Vicky who still has a hard time believing everything. Sherina was also the same, she just found out that in her body there is something special like this.

"Right, if you don't believe it yet, read this report! Laboratory tests are never wrong!" aslan said with a look of confidence.

"Mrs Sherina!" call Ricky out of the blue.

"Yes?" Sherina turned to look at Ricky.

"Include me, I am the current Chairman of the Medical Association. Due to your special body condition, I specifically invite you to cooperate with us!" ricky said in a friendly tone.

"What-what?!" Sherina.
