Love Among Family Hostility
Meeting with someone

A woman drove her car down the highway. He was with anger emanating from his eyes. Even the woman hit the steering wheel of her car when she had to stop because of the red light. Sinta hates the red light, it hampers her journey.

"I don't know what Arjuna is trying to cover up with me. He rarely lied to me like a gini," grumbled Sinta.

Sinta recalled the incident last night. After Arjuna came out of the room, Sinta picked up her phone. Sinta is not a fool who is easily lied to, she punched a few digits of the number to contact her parents. Sinta is not sure that her mother is sick, even if she is, it is certain that her mother will contact Sinta first, not Arjuna. Because Arjuna is not that important in the life of Sinta's father and mother. Arjuna is only useful for adding strength to their family. If the children of the Agustama family marry the children of the Dirgantara family, surely their strength will be even greater. It's all a business game.

Therefore Sinta was a bit surprised, when Arjuna said that he loved Sinta. Though their marriage is based on business not love, but why the man can love him. Maybe the name 'Love comes because it's used to' it's true.

Sinta clucked when her father did not answer Sinta's call. Sinta again tried to call, but this time called her mother. But the result remains the same, there is no answer from his parents.

Sinta ruffled her hair in frustration, now she had no reason to refuse to go to her parents' house. But, it's not Sinta's name if you don't have a second plan. The woman this time called the Agustama family home phone. Great hope Sinta so that there are people who pick up this phone.

And the ringing sound of the phone reached Melinda's ears. Melinda answered the call. "Hello, who?" ask Melinda.

Sinta heaved a sigh of relief, finally someone answered her call. "Mel, this is aunt" Sinta replied.

"Why, Tan?" asked Melinda indifferently.

"Mel, auntie want her, your grandma's sick?"

Melinda knitted her brows, "No Tan, auntie don't joke. People from yesterday's grandparents are very energetic, after all the new doctor just checked their condition. Grandpa and grandma are fine, Tan. Why why?"

Sinta smiled, her guess was right that her parents were not sick. "So, um you said Grandma was sick."

There was a loud noise from Melinda across the street. "Auntie lied to you. Don't hide something from aunty so lie aunty like that."

"Tante thinks so too," replied Sinta. "Ah, it's Mel, aunty wants to sleep. You are the same other healthy if there is anything about grandfather, grandmother, you are told Aunty, yes" explained Sinta.

"Yes Aunt." Melinda turned off the phone.

Sinta was lied to this time, and it was by her own husband.

...****...

"Now, I want to hear for myself about the clarity of this matter from the two of you. Starting from you, Eleena Safira Dirgantara," asked the Counsellor of Education.

Eleena nodded politely, her eyes now turning sharp as she looked at Vishnu.

"So, Mom. I can confirm that this is all 100% the fault of Vishnu Putra Aksanta. When I go to my car to go home, he was very impolite driving his car at such a high speed that the mud in front of me splashed into my face and clothes" explained Eleena.

"That's not to say you were pelted with mud by Vishnu?" Eleena shook her head. "Not Mom."

"Lantas, why did you push Vishnu until he got into the gutter?" The Education Counselor asked again.

"Because he's already humiliated me, so I think I should humiliate him as well." Eleena looked down at Vishnu.

"And how about you Vishnu Son of Aksanta." Vishnu turned towards the Education Counsellor. "Students who score problems instead of trophies. What's the reason you fucked Eleena like that. That's a despicable thing."

"Mom, I'm annoyed with him. This kid has humiliated me so many times, not just once. After all, I did not expect that the mud would splash so much into his face. This is an accident, ma'am," replied Vishnu.

"Not intentionally?" Eleena did not accept Vishnu's statement just now. "Lo said unintentionally? Obviously you deliberately, even Lo nyiram I use ice that I bought in the cafeteria."

A debate began between Vishnu and Eleena. They blamed each other, but apart from them there were some people in the room.

"Stop!" shouted the Education Counselor, stopping the noise that Eleena and Vishnu made. "Sit down!" his orders. Eleena and Vishnu sit down.

"It is better to see a cctv camera if there is one," Arjuna suggested as the Education Counsellor was about to open her mouth to lecture Eleena and Vishnu.

"Good idea." The Education Counselor told his staff to take the cctv footage in the campus parking lot.

"Let's wait," he said.

People in the room waited at least 5 minutes to view the cctv footage alone. The cctv footage was twisted, and from there it was clear that it was true, Vishnu was the perpetrator and Eleena was the victim.

"Now everything is clear. And for your punishment determined by your victim, Vishnu," asserted the Counsellor of Education.

"Punishment?" Eleena's gaze was a triumphant look. He can feel how Vishnu's ego is hurt when he has to accept defeat, but this is what Eleena likes.

"The sentence is free, ma'am?" tanya Eleena is fishing for an Education Counselor. The woman nodded, "Right is given entirely to you, as a victim."

If you can laugh now, Eleena has laughed out loud seeing how the sad expression of Vishnu who must accept the fact that he must really lose.

"Punishment for you, DO. At DO from campus," explains Eleena.

"Son, don't kid. You can give another sentence to my son, but don't DO him a favor." Melinda pleaded with Eleena to change her decision.

"Sorry Mom, my decision is unanimous, the mother's child must be punished accordingly. Because it could be, he would do the same to the other students later."

"So look at your attitude!" vishnu Benthic. "Lo must keep the attitude!" reply Eleena also snapped.

"Lo—"

"Son, don't." Meethila sat down in front of Eleena.

"Ma, Mama stood up. Don't you fucking think that." Vishnu tries to make Meethila stand but Meethila stays in position.

"Son, I beg you. Your name is Eleena, right. That's a pretty name just like you are beautiful. I beg you, tenderness for my son's punishment. I promise he will change and will not bother you again, he will also apologize to you. Or if need be, I'll kiss your feet, son."

Eleena spontaneously withdrew as Meethila bent down to kiss Eleena's shoes. "Mama!" Vishnu pulled Meethila to his feet.

"Mama what the fuck? Don't beg you to kayak just now. Vishnu doesn't like it!"

Plakk

Meethila slapped Vishnu so forcefully, that her lower lip was injured. "That's a slap for you, because you've dared to hit a woman!" meethila. Meethila pulls Vishnu's collar. "Wis, mama never taught you to be rough with any woman. My mom never, son. Why do you think gini. Who the hell are you?" Meethila encourages Vishnu.

"You who? Where is my son? As far as I know, my son is the best man, I raised him lovingly, I always taught him about the morals of life. But I never taught him to be rude to a woman!" Just this time Vishnu saw Meethila angry this much at him.

"I'm sorry," asked Meethila. Vishnu.

Plakk

"I'm sorry! Apologize now to Eleena!" force Meethila, pulling Vishnu to approach the girl. "I apologize to him, apologize sincerely and you have to promise that this is the last mistake you made. Cepetan apologize!"

Vishnu raised his gaze, eyes were reddened and Vishnu's face was also reddened. Vishnu put his hands together in front of Eleena. "Sorry." Finally the word came out of Vishnu's mouth. "I'm sorry for embarrassing you, I'm ashamed of what I did. I didn't mean to, but because of my annoyance at you, I did something immoral like that. I don't know, if it was me, Mama would be humiliated like this. I hope you want to accept my apology, don't make my mama squash just now, I can't see it." Eleena could feel the sincerity of the words coming out of Vishnu's mouth. Although Eleena was not entirely sure, the man was sorry but for Vishnu's words about his mother it was very clear, Vishnu was sincere.

"Mom, take note of Vishnu's punishment." Meethila begged Eleena to change her decision. "Vishnu Son of Aksanta, he will serve the sentence, for the next week, he will clean the corridors and the campus parking lot. He won't let any trash scatter. And Vishnu, just got home from campus after an hour of home time." On the one hand Meethila was very relieved and thanked Eleena many times, although on the other hand she felt sorry for her only son.

"Alright, it's punishment for you, Vishnu Son of Aksanta."

Vishnu came out of the room without even being invited first. Vishnu came out of the room ignoring the calls of his friends, and the gaze of the other students on him.

Vishnu walked towards the parking lot, Vishnu's emotions brought the man to this place.

While from the other side, there was Sinta who continued to grumble along the way because of the act of Arjuna this morning. It could be that even though Sinta has followed Arjuna's plan but he is still late to come to his son's campus. Arjuna very deliberately put down the tire of Sinta's car when Sinta stopped for a moment to buy food at a nearby stall from campus.

It's very irritating. Sinta who keeps nagging makes him not focus on the view ahead. And Vishnu who ran without looking around. Sinta's car hit Vishnu who ran past him. Sinta immediately braked her car. The woman hurriedly came out to the fallen Vishnu.

"Aren't you papa? I'm sorry ya." Sinta helped Vishnu stand up. He took Vishnu sitting at the end of the gutter. At first Vishnu was afraid, afraid that the events of yesterday repeated again, so Vishnu sat himself on the ground.

"Darling, aren't you hurt?" Sinta looked around if there were any injuries suffered by Vishnu because of his actions. And that's right, Vishnu's hand was hurt. "You wait here yeah, I'm back again." Sinta opened her car door, taking the P3K box she always carried everywhere.

Sinta swiftly and deftly treated Vishnu's wounds. "I'm sorry son, I didn't see you there." Sinta occasionally blows Vishnu's wounds so that they dry quickly. Vishnu looked at Sinta inside, why did Sinta's attention make his heart warm.

"Darling, you're not mad at auntie, are you?" Vishnu shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, son." I don't know how many times Sinta repeated the same thing.

"Eh this." Sinta touched the bottom of Vishnu's lips. The man grimaced in pain. Sinta returned to treat Vishnu's wounds. But Sinta's eyes stared at the bruise on this boy's cheek.

"Kok there can be bruises, honey." Sinta compresses the bruise on Vishnu's cheek for a while even though the master grimaces in pain. "Patience, Son. Let it heal." The loving words of Sinta make Vishnu's heart very peaceful. Vishnu had never felt like this before. But somehow it feels like Vishnu really wants to embrace Sinta and say that Vishnu really misses him, even though Vishnu himself does not recognize who this woman is.

"Who hurts you, dear. He is very evil, hit a blanket child and as good as you," said Sinta, tidying things up and re-inserting the P3K box into the car. Sinta's hand grabbed something, she had bought something.

"Papa" said Vishnu. "What?" tanya Sinta sat next to Vishnu. "The father who hit me Tan. He said I was a useless child, just a burden. I'm bad, Tan, I should have run over me earlier." Without Vishnu noticing, tears came down from his eyes.

"Dear." Sinta gave Vishnu a hug, he could not see this young man grieving, it seemed to hurt his heart as well. "Son, don't be sad, maybe your dad said it was because of emotion. Original aunt sure papa you love very much with you," said Sinta.

"Aunte sure?" ask Vishnu a little hoarse. "Yes, Son. Aunt sure." Sinta let go of his embrace, rubbing tears on Vishnu's cheeks. "A father will love his son very much, although maybe the way seems a bit rude. But it's all for the good of his son." Sinta smiled, giving a bottle of banana milk that she had bought at the supermarket. "Do you like banana milk?" Vishnu nodded. "Well, this is for you." Sinta put the bottle of banana milk in the palm of Vishnu.

"Drink, let's calm down a little." According to Vishnu, he sucked this banana milk slowly. I don't know what science Sinta has until he knows Vishnu's favorite drink besides alcohol is banana milk.

"Good boy." Sinta stroked the mane of Vishnu's hair, tidying Vishnu's messy hair. Again Sinta's attitude melted Vishnu's heart.

"Aunty, whose aunt's name?" Vishnu dared to ask. "Why Auntie is so good with me."

"Mother!" Sinta had not yet answered, the call from Eleena distracts him and Vishnu. Sinta approached Eleena, and Meethila approached Vishnu who was sitting on the ground.

"Why are you here?" ask Eleena. "Mother worries about you, dear."

"Well, didn't you say Dad, grandma was sick?" Arjuna turned his face away from Sinta's gaze. "Oh that, your grandmother is well" replied Sinta.

"Why is Mother the same as her?" Eleena stared intently and cynically at Vishnu. "The story is long, later Mother tells at home. Do you know him?"

"She's the one with me, Bun. He's Vishnu Putra—"

"Sin, why don't you tell me I want to come here?" Arjuna immediately cut off Eleena's words when the girl wanted to say Vishnu's last name. "No papa." Arjuna beckoned Eleena to shut up.

Sinta approached Vishnu. "Sorry Auntie's son, if he offends you." Eleena stared in disbelief at Sinta saying that to a shameless guy like Vishnu. "It's still a good boy, baby." Sinta stroked Vishnu's hair again, before approaching Eleena and Arjuna.

"It's this good, why is that girl rese no yes," inner Vishnu.
