Jovian pulled the car over, so it was parked right between his in-laws' vehicles. He quickly got down, then set foot inward, where the main door was left wide open as usual.
The atmosphere of the house is still the same as the last few weeks.
Feel quiet, quiet and quiet.
"You're finally home!" Herlin who was near the dining table chair immediately asked upon seeing the arrival of her daughter-in-law. "Have you eaten?" He immediately asked.
However, Jovian was stunned, somehow it felt so awkward with the current situation. How not, what Jovian did was definitely not only disappointed Kiana. But both parents also, because indirectly Jovian plays a big role in the problems they are facing.
"Sit down, Papa's coming down soon. We eat together. Later tonight we go to the airport to pick up Kiana! Sita reported earlier, the umrah worship was finished, but Kiana could not follow them to Turkey first, and the doctor there suggested that Kiana immediately go home without having to follow the tour group who will return to Turkey before finally returning to Indonesia" said Herlin, he felt very worried if he remembered the short message Sita sent.
"Kiana is sick?"
"Sita did not tell me more details, Sita only told me that, there was no reply anymore."
Jovian.
"Come here. You don't come home for a few days, just make Mama worry! There's a problem in the household is common, but don't go and don't come home in a few days." And those words sound so soft.
Herlin lays a plate of rice for Jovian.
"Jovian lives in an apartment, Ma. Today came just to see Papa, .. and talk about something." He pulled the end of the dining table chair, then sat there.
While Herlin began to return with the plate, and filled it with white rice, he then placed it in front of the chair that Danu used to occupy.
"They take it for themselves." Herlin said, who immediately got a nod from his daughter-in-law.
The person in question put on a smile, nodded slowly, then looked up, looking at the mother-in-law with an unusual expression.
"Why? Eat, don't wait for Kiana's Papa. It'll be down soon, too." The woman smiled.
Jovian shook his head.
"I'm sorry that it made Kiana angry, .. and went away from us." He said with a face full of regret.
Herlin walked around the table, then sat down in the chair he had always been in, then shortly after Danu was seen walking down the stairs, and soon joined in.
"You're finally home, Jo." Danu looked at his daughter-in-law's face. "The house is quiet without Kiana, then you also continue to spend the night in the apartment." He said again, while remembering what Denis always reported.
Jovian only smiled faintly, then bowed his head, before he finally ate the lunch that Herlin had prepared. The state of silence for a while, until only the clanking of spoons and plates clashed.
"Emmmm ..." The two men muttered at the same time.
Then they went back to silence, as if letting each one speak first.
What do you want to talk about? Speak up!" Danu said to his son-in-law.
"This, ... about the issue of that time. Papa knew nothing from Denis?"
Danu immediately nodded, as she continued to continue her lunch, and enjoyed the dishes available with a carefree feeling.
"Actually I'd love to teach a very good lesson. Yes at least make him languish behind prison bars even though with a sentence that is not too long. I'm sure Mami and Papi will never mind what Mr. Erik might do, ... it's just, .. I'm afraid he's reporting Kiana too, too, because what Kiana did was obviously violent. Although Kiana did that with a valid reason, but …"
"Hhhhhhhhhhh!" Herlin's breath made Jovian stop. "This is a complicated matter. If left, Eva will get bigger head, but if in thought, they will also not just be silent, right? Moreover, what Kiana did was clearly a physical violence." Herlin said after a night of thought.
And what Danu, Jovian and Denis fear has a point. Indonesia is a country of law, Kiana's actions are not justified. So it was certain that when they reported Eva, Erik's side would also not remain silent, and turned to attack.
Can this solve the problem? Of course not. Precisely, if all of that happens, the problem will be more overlapping, especially if the Eva family does not accept.
"If you know not too well. But never with how he's in the business world." Danu.
The man continued to focus on his food. Jovian paused and seemed to think hard.
"Do we report it?" Jovian.
Danu put down his tablespoon first, then grabbed the glass of drinking water that was already available, and gulped it down slowly.
"could. But it's gonna be so complicated! We report Eva's actions, and if they don't, we'll also report Kiana. So the effect is that we will fight each other's legal forces! Eva can be punished, and so can Kiana." He looked at his son-in-law and wife in turn.
Herlin sighed again.
"Yes, that's right! It's complicated." Tukas Herlin's.
"Indeed. This is why we don't report right away! There are many things to consider. Not a coward, or whatever to say, but if you have entered the world of law, anything can happen, including Kiana who must account for her mistakes. Well, if you want to say Kiana is just a victim, she will not do something if not on the fishing line first, .. but the law is not that easy, there are laws that must be obeyed, he said, and Kiana will be ensnared by the law too if we report Eva's actions. Just tell me if Eva was kind, she accepted what had happened to her. What about the master? They're just like us, gonna do what's best for his daughter." Obviously Danu is long.
And it makes Herlin understand more, and makes Jovian more confused, must be how to make a decision, because the stakes Kiana if he makes Eva also go to prison.
"Maybe we should wait for Kiana. We'll ask him if he wants to file a report with the police station, or not." Herlin memebri.
"Papa was sure Kiana wouldn't talk about this!" Sergey Danu.
"Then what can we do?" Ask Herlin again.
"Anything Papa can do. But it all has its own risks. If we just shut up, Eva's afraid of doing something even worse than yesterday. And if we take the legal path, we also have to be prepared for what will happen to Kiana."
"No!" Strictly Jovian, he shook his head. "No more, enough now that I can't see him freely. Not later, especially with a long time." Jovian put the tablespoon just like that on a plate with the contents are still intact, then lean back on the back of the chair.
Now Herlin turned to her husband.
"Mom knows Papa can do his best. We all know what Kiana did was as a form of defense. Although what Kiana did was also unenforceable. But can you do something to keep Eva deterred, but still protect Kiana? Do something for my daughter!" The woman begged.
Danu looked back at his wife with a facial expression that could not be described by words.
"You have power, baby. Please help Jovian do something. He was willing to act, but he didn't want to take the risk because of that." Herlin begged again. "Come on, at least don't make Mr. Erik do something that'll hurt us all."
"All right, we can talk about this again later. Now eat first. Lookie! Even Jovian still left a lot of food on his plate." Danu.
Herlin nodded.
"Jo, let's spend it." Herlin Pinta.
Jovian nodded, he again grabbed his tablespoon, although the appetite he had suddenly disappeared.
"Calm down, tonight Kiana will be home. Mama help him talk about your problems. At least this misunderstanding won't drag on."
"No need, Ma. Later Kiana will be even more upset because she thinks Jovian is asking for Mama's support."
"Kiana is stubborn, .. and she's a typical person who should be constantly reminded." Herlin.
He tried to encourage his daughter-in-law. As a more experienced person, of course Herlin understood, if it is a misunderstanding in the household it is common. And if both of them can not solve the problem, then as a parent Herlin must help so that the household that had just been intertwined by her daughter goes back to the good as before.
"We'll pick up Kiana at the airport, later."
"Looks like Jovian's not coming, Ma. Maybe Kiana still needs some time to herself first, afraid that if she is forced she will not listen."
