"Are you not finished?" Kiana asked from across the street when the video call connection Jovian made was connected.
The man smiled faintly, then walked into the saung, and sat there comfortably, enjoying the warm weather with a gust of wind that felt so piercing.
The noise of tree branches around him rubbing was heard, making the atmosphere of the plantation feel more viscous.
"sorry. Looks like I can't go home now, work is still very much, not just monitoring and looking around the factory. But Papi there will be an expansion of the garden area, I have to intervene to watch, .. and Papi is also here!" Slightly afraid to explain, but of course she had to do that, or else Kiana would get even more angry.
The cheerful look on Kiana's face instantly disappeared, replacing it with an expression of disappointment that seemed so domineering.
"I'm so sorry, Baby! I didn't know it turned out to be this much work. Actually when I found out I didn't bring you, Papi asked me to come back soon, but there's no way I'd let Papi work alone. While his closest and most reliable son is just me, .. maybe if Javier wasn't far away in the Netherlands there would also have come here to take care of the farm." Jovian.
The man did not want his wife to be angry just because he broke the promise of what he said earlier.
"Hhhheuh, .. Your words make me very hopeful. I want something for you."
He pouted, then was seen burrowing his face on the pillow, and there was a loud scream. Making the cool Jonathan stand in the middle of the workers staring at his son.
"Bebel!"
"Jovians?" The old man frowned.
Jovian smiled awkwardly, then moved his hand towards Jonathan as if to tell him that nothing was going on.
"You lied, ah!" Shouted Kiana again.
"Jovian!?" The father called back.
And the person in question shook his head with a smile.
"What are you doing until my son-in-law shouts like that?"
Jonathan immediately walked over, grumbling occasionally.
"Simply a misunderstanding!" Jovian.
His gaze continued to look up, following where Jonathan was moving, until he finally snatched a flat object from Jovian's grasp. And the look of Kiana's sad face filled the screen of the phone.
"Kia?" Say hello to Jonathan with a smile.
"Ah Aki-aki it's starting again!" Jovian muttered as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey? Are you upset with Jovian? Yeah, he's a real bitch to the guy." Jonathan continues to talk to Kiana via a video call connection.
Kiana who initially looked very upset. He suddenly smiled, and nodded. While Jovian leaned on a saung barrier made of bamboo, with a clear face.
"The fire is at work?"
"Yes. There is little sustenance, and Papi's tea garden expands again, so that later Papi's grandchildren prosper." The man smiled again. "Don't get angry? Jovian is helping this old Grandpa, .. so maybe can't go home soon." Continued Jonathan, who was immediately answered nod by Kiana.
"If you're busy, that's okay."
And the answer was clear, making Jovian round his eyes immediately.
"What's? Justjust like? While you were sulking? Tell me I'm lying?" Shouted Jovian with a frustrated look.
"Yes you are lying. He said he wanted to go home today, but no! Try not to promise when you want to go home, I will not wait." Answer Kiana.
Jovian inhaled and exhaled several times, closed his eyes, then swept his face quite tight.
Almost Jovian opened his mouth again to answer, but Jonathan immediately raised one index finger, warning the son not to speak again, which might add to the mistakes of beautiful women who are currently far away in Tangerang there.
"Yes already. Now Kia can go first, wherever Kia wants. Maybe shop for clothes, go to the salon, or go to the dermatologist to check Kia's healthy and beautiful skin is well, ... send me the account number, Papi transfer." Jonatha said with a smile, like she was making her daughter not to feel constantly upset.
However, Jovian's other reactions showed. His eyes widened, trying to snatch the phone from his father's grasp, but Jonathan did not give it easily.
"Eh but Papi doesn't need to transfer. Kia also has money, ... On Jovian card is also on me, so don't send it, okay? It's save for Papa to buy chicken porridge tomorrow morning." Kiana said while showing her sweet smile.
"Then you can hang up, Jovian's done coming home."
"Baby wait, don't listen to Papi!"
Nahas, in fact, the phone connection was cut off, making Jonathan immediately give the flat object back to the owner.
"Gee!"
"It has. At least Kiana was not upset anymore." Said.
Jovian's eyes glared, with a breath that sounded very tight.
"How does Papi know that Kiana is not upset anymore!" Jovian's great-grandson. He sighed, then his hair was very tight.
***
Kiana walked down the stairs, under very different circumstances. Hair begins to lengthen which in the midrib is not too neat, leaving a few strands of hair on each left and right sides.
Not to mention the makeup that looks a little thicker. Brown lipstick, with eyeliner lines adorning the eyelids, not to forget the mascara that makes Kiana's eyelashes become lentic, also eyebrow carvings that look so perfect, too, it makes women really different today.
Scents sprain, greeting Herlin's sense of smell as well as Danu who was sitting casually on the living room sofa.
"Darling? You want to go?" Herlin immediately related, when he realized the whereabouts of his daughter.
Even with Danu staring at her iPad screen, she turned her attention immediately towards Kiana.
"Hemmm, .. I want to go for a walk!?" Kiana Permit.
"Where? Has Jovian's permission been granted?" Danu pulled off her reading glasses.
Kiana nodded immediately. Though she was doubtful, because what gave her the idea of leaving was her husband's father.
"Did you ask Denis to accompany you?"
"Just stop by one mall. Look around for clothes, or maybe stop by the salon! I haven't taken care of my hair in a long time, .. I think it's right to come back to the apartment, all stocked with food there. The time of the money is given to me, but the needs of the stomach even I do not think, even though it is my obligation." Kiana.
Both of his parents were silent, glancing at each other, before finally smiling and nodding their heads, as a sign of agreement.
"You need some extra money from Papa?"
"No need. Papa's card is still on me, so it can still be used if it's an emergency." Kiana.
"All right."
"Then Kia left first."
"Yes." Yeah."
Herlin and Danu nodded simultaneously, staring at their daughter's departure in a hint of disbelief. Everything in Kiana has now changed slowly, from the attitude and speech, as well as the appearance that looks more mature with a touch of make-up that Kiana applied on the face.
"Why not realize? If Kiana looks more beautiful now. His face was always beaming, as well as a body that looked slightly contained."
"Yes, he's happy with our choice. And what we're doing doesn't seem to make Kiana feel depressed, .. Of course, she loves Jovian! And that's good." Danu said with a smile on her lips that was unceasingly visible.
The man grabbed the phone lying on the table. And started contacting someone, until Danu brought the flat object closer to her earlobe.
"Hello?" Someone was heard greeting from his phone call.
"Go, but don't let Kiana realize it. Make sure he stays safe, and keep him out of any danger." Danu Pinta.
Herlin was just listening. She was already feeling not strange, because that was what her husband always did. Keep an eye on Kiana so that their daughter continues to be in the safe zone, away from the bad things, given her considerable business competitors, and they can do anything to tear down her defenses.
