"Yes of course I remember. She is a girlfriend who always sticks to me even in terms of achievement" Ken said with an emphasis on each word. Not to forget he gave a thin grin to mother and Joice.
***
Mrs Rima and Joice almost choked on hearing Ken. Inversely with what they expected. Ken started attacking them.
"Ken!", Joice spoke in an almost inaudible stifled voice.
"Ken! What do you mean?!", Madame Rima raised her intonation a little.
Ken still put on his flat face, he was lazy to rub two people in front of him. But a second later his eyes widened in shock.
"Honey, your mouth is a little dirty because it talks too much!", said Ana softly as she rubbed the tip of Ken's lips with one finger. Ana thins her lips while looking at Ken.
Seeing his woman's behavior starting to react calmly, Ken tilted one corner of his lips while returning Ana's gaze.
"Thank you, baby!", said Ken gently to Ana as he stroked Ana's hand which rubbed her lips. The atmosphere began to tighten.
"Eherm! What about you, Miss Ana. What do you do?", asked Mr. Dion, who again broke the silence.
It took a while for Ana to think what she should say to them at this moment. In fact, he's not as good as what Joice said. Because all this time his father had always hidden his talent from the outside world.
Ken noticed Ana's confused face. He understood what Ana had in mind. She is so talented but has no achievements to be proud of, Ken knows how Ana feels right now. But Ken rubbed Ana's head gently while nodding his head slowly. Ken believed in whatever Ana was going to say. Because after all Ken loves Ana for who she is not because of who Ana really is.
Ana began to open her mouth to speak. But not yet out his voice, Madam Rima had interrupted him.
"It's possible that Miss Ana is ashamed of father to say what her current job is. Because after all Joice looks great not as a woman, so Miss Ana is not happy to compare herself with Joice, not so dear!", mrs Rima said as she directed her smile Joice who was next to her.
"Ah, aunty could be!", Joice put on an awkward smile.
A cold aura instantly enveloped around this dining table. Ken immediately threw a sharp glare that immediately poked towards his mother and Joice in turn. Unlike Ana who seemed calm to hear their words.
Ana leaned her body against the back of the chair and crossed her hands in front of her chest. He turned his eyes towards the two people in front of him.
"Shame, heh! So you think I'm embarrassed?! I am not ashamed to admit my current job. Listen carefully Miss Joice and Mrs Rima, I work part-time at nightclubs and at a minimarket. I'm not as good as what Miss Joice told me. But I started my job without a share from anyone, even my parents. I learned everything from the bottom, and I earned my income the right way. I'm proud of what I'm doing right now. And that was enough for me", Ana said everything plainly with a calm look. Ken chose silence, because this time it was his turn to act.
"Ah, I just want to go home! Why is the situation so chaotic like this!", Han grumbled inwardly.
Mrs Rima scoffed inwardly at Ana's telling of working at a nightclub. In his mind, Ana must be just any woman that Ken met there.
"So you sold your body there?! What kind of woman are you?! How much did Ken pay you? I'll pay you more, but stay away from my son right now. Didn't your mother teach you how to guard the honor of a woman!", mumbled Madame Rima while snorting in annoyance.
"Mother!", Ken and Mr. Dion shouted simultaneously. According to them this time Madam Rima's speech has gone too far. But instead of realizing it, he stared dislikefully at the husband and son.
"What?! Is what I said wrong?!", said Madam Rima in a defiant tone. Joice was silent, he secured his position first. Because he knew that if he opened his voice, Ken would be even more unhappy with him.
Not yet had time to answer all the words of Mrs Rima who was so demeaning, plus she who brought her mother in her speech made Ana was unable to hold back her anger. Suddenly a voice came from the front.
"Sister!", call Sam excitedly from the direction of the middle room.
"Sister ipaaaarr!", Sam screamed hysterically as he watched Ana sit next to her brother.
"Even Sam supported me", his mind was too happy.
Sam sprinted a little towards Ken, he hugged him tightly. Then she turned to look at Ana with her sparkling eyes. Ken noticed his sister's dislike, he snorted in annoyance.
"Do you want me to gouge your eyeballs!", Ken threatened with an upset grunt.
Sam chuckles and regardless of Ken's words, he prefers to hug Ana who will become his sister-in-law.
"Oh brother-in-law! Why are you so beautiful tonight!", said Sam after taking off his arms. Ken was still staring at Sam sharply.
"bbam!", Joice's cheek is slapped again by the fact that even Sam has known Ana and recognizes her as her sister-in-law. He snorted in annoyance, but then he tried to stay calm. But under the table her hands were clenched and clutching a little of her dress, she endured her disappointment.
"Let's see you two! The dress and suit you're wearing looks very harmonious. This must be the brother-in-law who chose it, right?! I can believe that my brother chose her!", said Sam ninyir towards Ken. But then he laughed after noticing Han's presence there and he put on a suit that was the same color as Joice's. Sam chuckled, now he understood what this all meant.
"Oh, Han! Sorry I just realized you're there! Well, you're handsome too when you wear a suit in another color. Don't be stiff like my brother!", said Sam with a laugh.
"Whispering!", Ken landed a spoon on Sam's forehead.
Sam stroked his painful forehead, he did not care about his forehead. He was still excited to finish his words.
"Well, there's Miss Joice apparently! You're so beautiful, miss!", Sam put on his smile.
"You look very harmonious with Han!", Sam finished his sentence slowly and ended with a ruckus.
Han immediately choked on hearing Sam's words. Ken hurriedly pointed a glass of water at her.
"Slow down, Han!", Ken chuckled as he lashed Han's back slowly helping him slash the food that was stuck in his throat.
Ana seemed to be puffing her cheeks withstanding her laughter which she wanted to let go as tightly as she could.
And Joice's face was now completely sunk, he lowered his head until his chin touched down. Madam Rima realized that, she stroked Joice's arm gently. He tried to calm Joice who was already moody. Joice looked at Madam Rima and forced her smile.
Mr. Dion had already widened the smile that he had wanted to develop since. But he still has to neutralize this situation.
"Why did Sam come?", he asked Sam. And Sam just remembered that he had not greeted his parents because he was busy denouncing here and there. Sam came to his father and hugged him.
"There's a bit of daddy business!", Sam showed off a big smile after taking off his embrace.
"Mother!", Sam turned towards his mother who was still wearing a sour face.
"Based on a bad boy!", said Mrs Rima after taking off her youngest son's embrace.
"drrer, drret, drret!", Sam's phone vibrated. Someone made a call for him.
Sam reached into his pants pocket and swiped the receive call button.
"Alright!", he said briefly with a serious face then he put his phone back into his pants pocket.
"I'm out for a minute, there's important business!", said Sam who had changed with his cheerful face. He stepped forward leaving those who returned with a tense aura around him.
