Viona, who actually wanted to speak directly to William, was forced to cancel her intention, because Fernando had pulled her towards the stairs. She was just silent and didn't say much when Fernando held her tightly up the stairs one by one to their room on the second floor.

Arriving at the room, Fernando immediately sat her on the bed while he walked back to the door to close it, as earlier he had forgotten to close it out of his excitement to ask Viona to talk privately.

​​

"What are you doing?" Viona asked softly when she saw Fernando walking towards her.

Instead of answering her question, Fernando instead immediately knelt in front of Viona in front of the bed, while lowering his head to the floor. Seeing Fernando like that surprised her. She did not expect to see Fernando kneeling like that in front of her. Quickly, she got out of bed and approached him who was kneeling with his hands on his thighs. She even saw that the wound that had just been bandaged by William was bleeding again.

"What are you doing? Why are you like this, Babe?" Viona asked haltingly while holding back the tears that were already full in her eyes.

"Please punish me," He replied without looking up.

"What do you mean? I don't understand," she said in confusion.

"I've punished my hand which was used to beat you, now you can punish me however you want, I'm ready to accept it," He replied quickly.

Viona was silent to hear his words. She didn't think that her husband would go that far. Her voice was suddenly choked out of her throat, like something strange was holding her voice in there. She quickly hugged him. She dropped her body when Fernando was not ready, so that he fell backwards. Swiftly, Fernando hugged Viona so as not to hurt her.

"What are you doing?" He asked quickly while hugging Viona, who had hidden her face in his chest, as he laid there on the rug.

"Hey Sweety, answer me ..."

"Sob sob ... you're annoying!" Viona's cry was heard softly.

When he heard her crying, Fernando closed his eyes. His raised head when he looked at Viona was immediately laid back on the floor, so that he laid flatly on the floor. He could hear and feel Viona's heartbeat clearly, as she laid on top of him. The two of them hugged each other and let go of their longing in silence. The sound of Viona's sobs gradually disappeared. Slowly, she got up from Fernando's body, because her husband asked her to. When she was sitting opposite him on the floor, her eyes looked very swollen and red, even though she had only been crying for a while, as if she was working hard to let all the tears that were held in the last few days poured out.

"Why are you so whiny now?" He asked softly while pinching her cheeks.

"Aren't you the one who make me cry all the time?" Viona replied curtly.

"I love you Vio ... I love you since the first time I saw you. Maybe you don't believe it, but it's a fact." Fernando said quietly as he stared in her red eyes.

"It took me years to make sure my mind was still sane or not, I used to think that I was crazy because I liked a girl whose age was far below me, but the more I realized that it was not just a casual feeling. I've really fallen in love with you, even when I was with other women for years since your departure without saying goodbye, I still think of you and always convince myself that you will come back to me again," Fernando added quietly as he kissed her hand lovingly.

"I ..."

"Forgive me if I'm still hit you. I can't control my emotions when I'm fighting with you, especially when you start to anger me. I'm a crazy person, Vio, a cruel person in the eyes of everyone who were my business rivals because of that. I'm still not completely able to control myself. That's why I beg you, please, don't provoke my anger. I'm afraid I can't hold myself back and hurt you even more than yesterday ... I beg you, Vio, please, don't make me regret and hurt, because I hurt you…." Fernando said in a voice that was barely audible.

Viona slowly grabbed the face of her husband, who was looking down on the floor. When he faced her, Viona's chest felt tight at Fernando's words.

"Forgive me for all my childishness all this time, forgive me if I bothered you a lot ..."

"Don't say that! You don't bother me, everything you want I'll grant them happily as long as I can. So don't ever say that again, I never felt bothered by you," Fernando said, quickly cutting off her words.

Drip

Drip

Viona's tears flowed back profusely down her cheeks without her being able to hold them. She even refused when Fernando was about to wipe the tears that wet her cheeks.

"I - I'm sorry I said harshly like that to you, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Babe," Viona said with a sob.

"I know what made you speak so harshly like that to me yesterday and .... for a moment why you didn't tell me that problem? I'm your husband, Sweety, why do you still have to keep it a secret from me hmm?" Fernando asked, wiping the remaining tears on her cheeks.

"What's the problem?" Viona asked in confusion.

"You old granny, you have forgotten everything!" Fernando replied in exasperation as he pinched Viona's nose.

"Ahhh ... who's the old granny!? I am a prospective young mother who is always current!" Viona said curtly.

"Hahahaha ..." Fernando laughed out loud at her words until he cried, meanwhile Viona seemed to squint at the sight of him laughing at what she said.

"Laughing already?" She asked curtly.

"Since when haha … since when have you been this cute, Honey?" Fernando replied, stammering as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"It really isn't funny, you keep teasing me since earlier!" Viona was fiercely annoyed, because she felt constantly bullied by Fernando, as she tried to get away from him.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, Sweety ..." He said quickly, while holding Viona, who was about to leave.

She finally stayed in front of him. She sat on his thigh as he leaned on the bed.

"Is Darren still bothering you?" Fernando asked quietly as he touched Viona's stomach slowly.

"H-how do you know that person's name?!" Viona asked back in surprise.

"Instead of answering my question, you asked me instead, you naughty girl," He said in a rising tone.

"Yes, but I mean how do you know his name, the name of that evil person," Viona replied softly.

"How do you think I know his name? Guess that," said Fernando with a big laugh.

Viona knitted her eyebrows, slowly trying to think to find the answer after hearing Fernando's words. Her eyes then opened wide after she thought of the biggest possibility on how Fernando could find out about Darren.

"Amina and Jenny, right?" Viona said quickly.

"My wife is smart," Fernando replied, raising two thumbs in the air.

"You two bad girls!! Why should they tell you about that bad guy?" Viona fiercely said, staring at the door, as if she saw Jenny and Amina in front of her room.

"Don't be mad at those two nice girls, they accidentally told me, Sweety," Fernando whispered softly, as he put his ears on her stomach.

Viona softened and let Fernando kiss her stomach with satisfaction. She closed her eyes as he repeatedly landed affectionate kisses on her stomach.

"I just don't want you to turn evil like that person, Babe," Viona said slowly, while tidying his messy hair.

"Hmmm, what did you say, Honey?" Fernando asked, lifting his face from her stomach.

"Come here, don't sit like that ... How can we talk properly if you're like that?" Viona replied coldly.

Fernando laughed widely at her words. He then got up and sat in front of Viona again, just like before.

"I know the reason you forbid me to enter the world of politics," Fernando said as he kissed her cheek gently.

"You already know the reason?" Viona asked quickly.

"Of course. My two new informants have told me in detail," Fernando replied while laughing wide so that the rows of his white teeth were clearly visible.

"Huh ... Whose sisters are they that they're siding with you?!" Viona replied irritably.

"Don't blame them, their intentions are good, Honey," Fernando said quietly, trying to calm her.

She smiled at her husband's words, then laid her body on top of Fernando's, who was leaning on the edge of their big bed.

"Aren't you curious why I want to enter the world of politics, Babe?" Fernando asked quietly.

"I was just going to ask, but since you've spoken first, now tell me what is your goal to enter that terrible world?" Asked Viona quickly.

"I want to find your biological parents ... I want to …."

"No! Don't do that," Viona screamed loudly.

"Why ....?"
