THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Expressions of Feelings (2)

Farhan looked at Via's face. That face feels so adorable. Especially red lips without lipstick. Actually, he wanted to kiss his wife's little lips. However, it was impossible for him to do so because he was in a public place.

"Daddy, can I ask you a question?"

Via turned his head, looking at Farhan's face for a few seconds. His heart thump felt quite stomping when he met Farhan's gaze. Via.

"What would you ask? If the Via can answer, it will certainly answer God willing," replied Via cf. Iirih.

"May Mas know the reason Dek Via received the mother's proposal?"

Via was silent for a moment. He seemed cautious in answering.

"Previously Via apologized if Via's answer offended Mas Farhan. When Via was told about the papa company and Pak Chandra's plan that could help Wijaya Kusuma rise, Via was both happy and confused. Happy because there is a way out to restore the efforts of the deceased papa, confused because Via had to get married in his teens. Via did not at all imagine getting married this fast."

Via paused for a moment. Farhan remained patiently waiting for the continuation of the Via story.

"When Mother said Mas Farhan was willing to marry Via, Via was increasingly confused. Emm, sorry before. Via was scared, hesitating, I don't know. Anyway Via is not comfortable being near Mas Farhan. Yes, because Mas Farhan was cold, even ketus when meeting with friends Via."

Via silent again. He wanted to know Farhan's reaction with uncertain feelings. There was a fear Farhan was angry to hear his confession. Apparently, Farhan was smiling broadly. Via was relieved.

"When Via was informed of the conditions to replace the deceased papa, Via faced a dilemma. Really, Via's feelings back then were completely muddled. On one side Via wants to save the company of the deceased papa. Via wants to serve by trying to restore the chaotic condition of the company. On the other hand, Via does not want to and is not ready to get married."

"Dek Via didn't have a boyfriend back then?" Farhan interrupted.

Via shakes. Then he continued his conversation.

"Via's never been together, Mom. Hence, when knowing to replace the position of the deceased papa is married, Via is confused. Uh, mom kept proposing to Via."

Farhan chuckles. He was amused to remember his attitude.

"Okay, continue. Dek Via has not explained the reason Dek Via received the mother's application," Pinta Farhan.

"After Via knew that Via had to be married in order to be a successor to the deceased papa, Via salat isikharah to ask for God's guidance. Three times Via dream of wearing a wedding dress. Via concludes that Via should get married. Then, his father and mother proposed to Via for Mas Farhan. Yes, finally Via accepts."

"Kok Dek Via instantly accept? Is Dek Via really sure?" ask Farhan again.

"Of course Via was doubtful. Via asked first about Mas Farhan's attitude that Via is not ready to be a wife even though he is married. There is a lot that Via asks. Mother's answer made Via a little quiet. Since Via was convinced that Via should get married soon, Via accepted the proposal."

"Is there any thought that our marriage is just to get a marriage license to save the company of the deceased papa?" chase Farhan.

Via aghast. He didn't think there was such a thought in Farhan's brain.

"Astaghfirullahalazim says. Mas, it never crossed the mind of Via to play with her marriage. Indeed Via is not fully ready, but that does not mean Via only needs a marriage license," exclaimed Via.

His eyes were glazed again. His heart ached because of Farhan's question.

Seeing Via's reaction, Farhan immediately realized his mistake.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. Not that I was offending Dek Via. I just want to know how Dek Via feels about me. Forgive me, yes," said Farhan.

Via hush. He made his heart feel messy.

"Via also apologizes for not being able to be a good wife, not being able to serve Mas Farhan as it should be" said Via lirih.

"No, there's no need to apologize for that. From the beginning, I agreed not to dispute that. I'm sincere, I'm."

"Thank you for understanding. Via acknowledges that Via received the mother's application for wanting to serve the deceased papa. However, Via does not want to play with the sacred bond called marriage."

"What--Did Dek Via love Mas?" farhan asked a little nervously.

"As Via said, Via got married because he wanted to be filial. At first, Via hesitates to accept Mas Farhan because of the coldness of Mas's attitude. But...." Via hung up his sentence.

"But what, Deck?" Farhan was impatient.

"But, over time Via began to be able to accept Mas Farhan. About love, Via does not know," replied Via while looking down.

Farhan smiled. Despite not giving certainty about his feelings, Via's answer made Farhan relieved. At least, Via could already accept him. Farhan was sure that love would be given to God in the heart of Via. It's just a matter of time.

"Mas, Via wants to ask," said Via slowly.

"Just ask."

"Emm, here. Mas Farhan is handsome, well-established, ...."

"Whatwas? Mas how? Try repeat!" farhan ordered while bringing his ears closer.

Farhan laughed knowing Via was pouting.

"Mas loves Dek Via muji. That's why, ask to be repeated."

"Udah, ah! Seriously though."

"Okay, say!" Farhan relented, not flirting anymore.

"Didn't it cross Mas's mind for polygamy?"

"Indeed Deck Via allows?" Farhan asked back.

"Via nanya, how come Mas even back nanya?"

"Yes, if Dek Via allows it, maybe Mas will have two or three, even four wives" Farhan replied as he glanced at Via.

"If Via is not ngizinin, how will you?" asked Via with a slightly trembling voice.

"Of course not. No ngizinin Via Deck?"

"Via does not want to be cheated. Maybe it's selfish. But Via wants her to be Mas Farhan's only wife."

"Yes, already. Means Mas won't be polygamous" Farhan replied with a laugh.

"Seriously, Mas?" ask Via while looking at her husband.

"Yes. Insha Allah Mas will not due Dek Via. In fact, if Dek Via allows it, Mas does not want to find another woman to be Mas's wife" replied Farhan steady.

Via smiled with relief.

"There's something else Via wants to say. There is a possibility that friends like Via Mas Farhan. What is the via? What better is Via telling the truth, that Mas Farhan is Via's husband?"

"Your friend? Wh who? Ratna's? Mira?"

"Ish, kepo! Are Via's only friends Ratna and Mira?"

"OK, okay. That's also the alleged Dek Via, right?"

"If it really is, what? Meaning Via, Via what? Should Via be honest about our marriage?"

"Sir, Mas also actually wants to announce our marriage soon. I want everyone to know that Novia Anggraeni is Mas's wife. But, the affairs of those who were hostile to the deceased papa are not finished yet. Only Mr. Beno has been completed."

"So, Via must be kept a secret?"

"Preferably so. I don't want this almost finished business to fail. If they find out we are husband and wife, they may have other strategies. I don't know what, I can't guess. At this time, their steps are read. God willing, in the near future, this problem can be solved. May it be no more than 3 months."

"Mas will destroy their company?"

"Not to destroy. Enough to make them helpless. If until their company goes bankrupt, destroyed, pity their employees" replied Farhan.

Via nodded in agreement. She was also relieved that her husband was thinking about innocent people.

"Patience! If this thing's over, we can have a reception to announce our wedding."

"Then, if anyone has a crush on Mas, how about it?"

"Leave it. But I'm not interested. Deck Via don't worry!"

"But pity the boy. He didn't know that he was married."

"Yes, yeah. Ah, just like this. Dek Via said that if I have a candidate, in the near future will get married. That's it."

Via smiling sweetly. He found a way out.
