The Elbow of Love Willing Ring
015 - Marrying the Man I Once Wanted

The pair of black eyes were staring at Viona sharply. The gaze that made Viona's heart pound, weakened her two legs that seemed to waver, became weak helpless.

Viona pressed her knuckles to brace herself. It had been days that he trained to be able to deal directly with the young man in front of him.

A handsome young man with a charm that ravages Viona's sanity. The young man who had always been the idol of the teachers but not because of his achievements. The young man was famous as a culprit in the school. Recalcitrant youth who every day always get various kinds of punishment for self-discipline.

Varun Sutopo, commonly called Sutopo, is a slebor-style handsome young man and always acts haphazardly, making Viona very infatuated with the man.

Viona had already established her heart to re-express her feelings even though a week ago the young man had already rejected her for the umpteenth time.

"Sutopo, I-I really like you! Even if you reject me, I still like you. No, I like you even more!"

The young man's eyebrows shot up next, his heavy breathing sounded.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Sorry, I'm not interested in you! So, stop liking me!"

Viona looked into the young man's eyes glinting with anger.

"You are so ridiculous and so pathetic as a woman!"

The young man's words were so sharp, piercing and gave off a bloodless pain effect. But all the pain caused by the young man's words, was instantly gone when a smile fell on the corner of his lips.

"I know there is no other young man as handsome as I am, and don't blame me too if you're so crazy about me!"

"Blame yourself for being so crazy!"

Viona tried to hold back the tears that had been pooled in the eye peluk. Again, he had to accept this kind of rejection.

Why do I keep liking him when he never likes me?

"Stop begging me for love, because I'll never possibly love you!"

"Hey! Vio!"

That voice ripped through Viona's daydream. Viona gasped as all eyes were on her.

In front of the pengupulu and witnesses, in the middle of the marriage contract procession, Viona was swept away in her daydream.

"Sign here!" mr. Penghulu's orders.

Viona who was still gathering her consciousness was trying to put her signature on the wedding documents.

"Now you are legal as a married couple. Hope it's long for you both."

After shaking hands with the pak penghulu, Viona and Arun rushed to leave the marriage certificate room in KUA because there are other couples who have been waiting for their schedule. The couple was seen wearing full bridal clothing and accompanied by family. They both look so happy.

While Viona, she even only wears a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, without the family and does not look happy at all.

Well, how can you be happy? The man who married her was the most hated man of his life.

"I still have business. I'll call you later" Arun said.

Viona did not reply, she immediately rushed away without saying goodbye.

...*****...

"Oh, Vio! Looks like we'll have to open a job for an English tutor!"

Viona's eyes were still following her boss who was pacing around in front of her desk exactly the ironing. It had been more than ten minutes Mas Gede did that endlessly, repeating the same words every time.

"I can't take all the classes myself! I've been overload! Overload it!"

Viona furrowed her eyebrows to see Mas Gede who returned to monologue like an actor in soap operas on television.

"Vio, don't you have a friend who's willing to be a free tutor?" ask Mas Gede.

"Freelance exists, but it can't be free" Viona replied briefly.

"Oh No! This is really bad! Oh Alan! When will you come back?"

"Why ask me? Why don't you ask Alan?" Viona asked back.

"Oh Vio! Where could I possibly ask Alan when Alan was busy with his personal affairs. What if it turns out Alan is busy taking care of the wedding?"

Mas Gede closed his eyes and ears, Viona's voice seemed to shake his sanity.

"Vio, your voice can even wake the dead!" keluh Mas Gede's.

"Ma-sorry, Mom. I was just too shocked and did not expect that Mas Alan would get married."

Disappointment was clearly heard from Viona's voice.

"Hmm, why are you so disappointed? You have a crush on Alan?" ask Mas Gede.

Viona was speechless.

"Hey, you better not have a crush on Alan!  Watch your feelings! Than you're disappointed!"

Mas Gede smirked at Viona who could only fall silent.

"Well, ever since I knew her, a lot of girls have liked her. But he always rejected all the girls" continued Mas Gede.

Viona's expression was getting moody and it made Mas Gede even more want to prank his men who did look very fond of his friend.

"All the girls were rejected not because Alan was turning! He's a straight man!" added Mas Gede.

"Then, why did he reject all those girls, Mas?" ask Viona. "Is Alan a playboy?"

"No! No! Alan is a nice and polite man! He's not a playboy, never flirt! He was a serious man and kept his distance!"

"Why could that be?" ask Viona again.

"Well, the cliche of the rich! He already has a soul mate prepared by his family" said Mas Gede.

"Eh! Lho! We're talking about Alan! Stopit! Stop that!" keluh Mas Gede's.

Viona again put on an expression of disappointment.

"Vio, since you're a very valuable employee of mine, I'm asking you very and for your own good, never to like Alan," Mas Gede emphasized with very much every word he said.

"Or you'll be as hurt as any girl I've ever known" Mas Gede continued.

Viona grinned, why didn't Mas Gede warn her long ago or before Viona expressed her feelings?

...*****...

"Yes hello," Viona answered her ringing phone.

Viona soon meets Memel who has been waiting for her at a minimarket, located not far from Viona's workplace.

"Vio! Vio!"

Memel instantly drew Viona's hand, dropping Viona onto the chair.

"It's you and Sutopo right?!" 

Memel shows the video playing on its smart device.

Viona sighed heavily while closing her eyes.

"Vio!" memel Whine.

Ugh shit! Why is the video still in the universe?

"Vio, what exactly happened between you and Sutopo?" ask Memel.

"It's just a misunderstanding!" 

"Misunderstand me?"

"Yes, and the problem is over!" viona answered steadily.

The matter was finished by marrying the man, Viona's inner self with full of the rage she was hiding.
