Viona slowly wiped the tears that wet her beautiful face using her hands. She then walked slowly towards the edge of the lake which was filled with ornamental fishes of various types and several pigeons that were deliberately kept in the garden. Viona grabbed the fish feed. There was a storage place not far from the bench where she sat earlier. After holding a bag of fish feed, she then spread it in the lake to feed the fishes on the lake. Every now and then, Viona threw some at the doves who were flying by as if they were asking for a share from Viona. Seeing the animals in front of her eating greedily made Viona smile and forget her sadness for a moment.
"How much longer do I have to live with this burden, God? I'm tired of God," Viona said without realizing it.
Her face did smile because she saw the animals in front of her eating greedily, but her beautiful eyes seemed ready to drop her tears again. She tried to hold herself back from crying.
"Morning ...." said a man whose voice was familiar to Viona, greeting Viona.
"William," Viona stuttered when she saw Fernando's friend and private doctor came.
"Can I sit here?" asked William quietly.
"Please Will," Viona replied with a forced smile.
William then sat down beside Viona slowly.
"Are you okay, Viona?" asked William, opening the conversation.
"Of course. As you can see, I'm fine ... it means we're fine," Viona replied flatly, without taking her eyes off the lake.
"If you need a friend to talk to, I'm ready to hear it, Viona," said William quietly.
Hearing his words made Viona smile without making a sound. She then turned slowly to William, who had been staring at her.
"I'm fine, Will, you don't need to worry," Viona said briefly with a smile.
Seeing Viona's smile made William even more convinced that in fact she was not well. He knew that the beautiful doctor in front of him was hiding a large wound inside her.
Drrttttt ... Drttttt ....
The cell phone in William's pocket suddenly vibrated. He quickly grabbed his smart phone and smiled faintly when he saw Fernando's name appear on his cell phone screen.
"I have to go into the house, the bastard has called me," William said quietly, saying goodbye to Viona.
"Please, William," Viona replied quickly.
After putting his cell phone in his shirt pocket, William then walked slowly towards the mansion, leaving Viona in the garden. When William arrived at the front yard, he was surprised to see a woman he didn't know seemed to have just come out of the mansion. She got into the luxury car and Fernando himself seemed to be escorting the woman away with a big smile.
"This idiot is always looking for trouble," said William, cursing Fernando.
"Hey ... stupid, why are you still standing outside, hurry in!!" shouted Fernando suddenly when he noticed William.
"Will ..."
"Yes, I'm going, you jerk!!" William shouted as he walked towards Fernando, who was still standing at the door wearing only a bathrobe.
"Throw away all your expensive clothes if you like wearing bathrobes, you punk," William said quietly after arriving beside Fernando.
Instead of being angry at what his friend said, Fernando laughed out loud. He then drew his hand around William's neck quickly.
"I can do anything at my house Will ..."
"Including hurting your wife by bringing a bitch home you mean?" William interrupted Fernando's words.
Fernando was silent for a few seconds after hearing what William said, which reminded him that Viona had made him angry.
"I'm teaching her a lesson, Will," Fernando said curtly.
"You'll be sorry to have hurt a woman as good as your wife, Fernando," replied William meaningfully.
"Ha ha ha ... good woman you say? No good woman can leave the house without her husband's permission!!" said Fernando with a big laugh.
William could not answer Fernando's last words. He knew that Fernando was still very angry with Viona for leaving home without his permission. Seeing William was silent, Fernando felt victorious. He then walked into his office with firm steps.
"Who was that woman?" asked William coldly.
"My new woman ..."
"You really are the worst man that I know, Fernando," William interrupted him.
"The women are happy to serve me, Will, then what's the fault in it?" Asked Fernando without guilt.
"The wound you've created to your wife must have really hurt her, Fernando. Remember she's pregnant, so you ..."
"You should give this input to her, Will, not me. She should think about my son's condition, instead of leaving without news like that. Do you think I was not worried at that time? When she came home, instead of giving me an explanation, she just stayed silent. Do you think that it is inappropriate for me to be angry right now, Will? She doesn't respect me as a husband," Fernando said, cutting off William's words furiously.
"I know you're angry, but you shouldn't even create new trouble by bringing that bitch home ..."
Bam!
Fernando hit the table in front of him hard when he heard William's last words.
"Her name is Laura, don't call her a bitch, Will!!" said Fernando with an elevated tone as he glared at William.
"I can't give you any advice right now, Fernando, you are unable to control yourself. I better just go home, you don't need me, Fernando," said William quietly, as he got up from his chair and walked slowly toward the door of Fernando's study.
"Remember what I said, Fernando, the woman you hurt today will need decades to heal the wounds in her heart. Don't let what you do make you regret it in the future ... and don't forget there are still some men who are still waiting for Viona's love," William said quietly, adding to his previous words with a smile. After saying that, William left Fernando's study.
Crash!
Crash!
"Arrgghhhh ....! Fuck, fuck ....!"
Fernando threw away the things that were on his table in one swoop. He was annoyed because he felt that William was defending Viona, instead of him.
"Teddy!!!!" shouted Fernando, calling the butler at his house.
Teddy, who was standing in front of the door, immediately entered when his name was called by Fernando.
"Yes sir," Teddy replied quickly.
"From now on, forbid Viona to go. No one can meet her without my permission, even though it was her two younger siblings. Make sure Viona does not leave the house," said Fernando in a rising voice.
"Yes, sir, I understand," said Teddy obediently. He then excused himself from Fernando's study.
"I will never let you go, Viona, you are mine. No one can take you away from me," said Fernando emotionally.
