Love Among Family Hostility
Drama dinner

The hand was busy twitching and pressing various types of applications contained in his flat objects. Towels that he put carelessly, and hair that has not been combed. The green t-shirts and beige shorts were worn on the body that was currently being tendered on the hotel chair, where he was staying now.

The sound of knocking on the door roused Vishnu from sitting down. He opened the door and took the food he had ordered. After finishing giving some money to the introduction, Vishnu again closed the door.

There's pizza, burgers, fried chicken, and cappucino. Vishnu put all the food on the small table in front of the chair he was sitting on. His eyes glanced at the clock that showed 19:00 WIB, which meant that dinner time had arrived.

At Vishnu's house at this time they were all having dinner together at the dinner table. Although it seems formal because there is no warmth but it became one of the good things from his family.

"Kangen mama" murmured Vishnu. It's been 5 days that he hasn't come home, not met Meethila. The man missed his mother, the woman who was at the time when everyone was denouncing Vishnu. Women who are always the front guard if Vishnu and Rama quarrel. Vishnu had not seen his mother for a long time.

Iris hazel Vishnu glanced at the flat object lying on the table. It felt like he called Meethila to vent his longing, but he did not want to go home let alone meet with Rama.

Vishnu's phone rings. Just now the guy was thinking of calling Meethila. But not a call from Meethila turned out to be a call from Gilang.

"Why Lang?" asked Vishnu as soon as Gilang call he answered.

"Lo okay over there?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Wis, I was horrified from my bokap if you again realize the existence of lo. That's why I'm the same, I know where not—"

"Keep, you're honest?" cut Vishnu.

"About. Relax, your existence is safe. But Wis, you have to be careful, if you can just move hotels. You know for yourself how bokap lo, he must have told his men to realize the existence of lo."

"Gue has to move hotel means."

Gilang. "Yes Wis, you protect yourself, I will take care of you also from here, from my bokeap."

"But Lang—"

The call from Gilang was cut off just like that. Vishnu frowned in surprise, Gilang is not used to shutting down calls unilaterally, but why is it suddenly like this.

While here, Gilang was sweating cold to the point that his phone accidentally dropped. The presence of Gilang's father who was so sudden in his room, shocked Gilang. So he hastily turned off the phone with Vishnu so as not to be caught.

Gilang had cold sweat especially when Gilang's father approached his son with a suspicious look.

"Where is he?" ask the middle-aged man.

Gilang swallowed his saliva suck. "In-he who?" tanya Gilang was nervous.

"Where is Vishnu the Son of Aksanta, Gilang?"

This question from his father seemed to make Gilang tongue, he no longer knew what words he had to say.

Glazed stiff. "In-he, don't know where?"

"Let's know you're hiding Vishnu, he's staying at a hotel. At which hotel? And who's moving to the hotel?"

The questions from Abinya made Gilang's hands tremble. Sweat had filled his forehead, Gilang felt he should just disappear.

"Say I don't know Abi. The saying doesn't know. Yang Gilang know, if I tell Abi Vishnu where, Abi will be fired," replied Gilang. The man's hand stroked Gilang's head slowly with a slight smile.

"Let's know you're worried about Abi's job. And now Abi is assigned to find out where your friend is, if Abi doesn't know where he is, it's clear Abi will be fired."

Gilang looked embarrassed. With an appeal from Abinya to tell where Vishnu is, Gilang finally gave up. He told Vishnu which hotel he was in, and how long he had left home.

What Abinya said was true, Vishnu was in power but the power is still entirely in the control of Rama. They must obey the wishes of Vishnu but must carry out the orders of Rama. The life of the Gilang family depends on the Aksanta family.

"Sorry, Wis. I love my family more," Inner Gilang as soon as Abinya out of the room.

...***...

The atmosphere of the Dirgantara family dinner this time felt different. Especially when Arjuna invited the Agustama family to dinner with them in order to carry out cooperation between him and Rama. Arjuna wanted to share this happiness with his family.

There was no laughter at dinner this time, instead there were sharp gazes at each other. But the sharp gaze was mostly fixed on Arjuna—Men who were busy spending food on the plate.

"I think, we should talk Arjuna Dirgantara." The resolute voice coming from the old man sitting in front of Arjuna, made Sinta a little frightened. Because Sinta was sure there would be a commotion in this house, from her father's intonation to Arjuna alone Sinta could conclude that she was angry.

Sinta stroked Eleena's shoulder. "El, you're the same Melinda went to the room huh. Your grandfather wants to discuss adult affairs," said Sinta.

Eleena nodded her head, and she took Melinda away from the dinner table. Eleena takes Melinda to her room, but Melinda stops Eleena first. She now pulled Eleena's hand to hide behind the wall next to the dining table.

"Gue wants to know what Grandpa is talking about" Melinda said.

"Nguping is not good, Mel," said Eleena. But Melinda instead put her index finger in front of her lips to tell Eleena to be quiet.

"Gue was sure it was related to Aksanta's family." Melinda's remarks this time convinced Eleena to join in eavesdropping on parents' conversation.

"So, what does Papa want to talk to me about?" ask Arjuna.

The man acted as if he had done nothing.

"Do you know where you're wrong?" ask his father-in-law. Arjuna.

"Why did you invite me here?"

"To celebrate I've cooperated with Aksan— company"

"Don't say that name." Arjuna had not yet perfected the name but his mother-in-law interrupted him.

"Don't say that name" repeated the old woman. "I don't understand why of the many well-known companies in this country you choose to work with the family company" he continued.

"Ma, that's a good opportunity. And the good news is that Rama himself offered me that cooperation." As soon as the name of Rama came out, Sinta immediately turned to Arjuna as well as the others.

"Mama has forbidden her to name her surname but called her member's name," replied the man—kakak in-law Arjuna.

"Rama nawarin cooperation?" ask Sinta. "Why?"

"This is what makes mama do not like if her name sounds, you must immediately discuss about her."

"Ma, I don't mean to talk about Rama now. But I discussed their cooperation, it is a very rare thing, the Aksanta Family especially Rama is very unlikely to propose a cooperation agreement first. They are always offered instead of offering—"

"That's a lot about their family" sidelines Sinta's older brother.

Sinta sighed. "Bang, what I'm talking about isn't wrong."

"Wrongly, you called that name" his father said.

Sinta's mother looked around the house with a disgusting look. "This house is polluted because it's called."

"Aksanta's name isn't that bad, Ma."

"Love!" snapped old man. The old man approached his daughter. "You realize what you're doing? You say that name again, you'll be stained again, dear."

Sinta let out a heavy sigh, they went back to arguing because of Aksanta.

"I want, you cancel the cooperation," asked Sinta's father.

"Pa, this is a great opportunity. We will get a lot of benefits if we work with Aksanta's company" Arjuna replied.

"Aksanta, Aksanta hold. There are many things to say besides Aksanta." Sinta's older brother spoke again.

"I want you to cancel the cooperation" repeated Sinta's father.

Arjuna shook his head, "Can't, Pa." All eyes were on him. "I and Rama have signed the document, if I cancel the cooperation, as well as I embarrass myself."

Big brother Sinta snorted, then he clapped. "Cool, cool." Big brother Sinta stared at Arjuna sharply within their close range. "You made a big mistake" he said.

"It will benefit me, and I will not back down from this partnership. I have tried to work with them and I will not waste this golden opportunity" Arjuna replied.

"You've been working with them for a long time?" ask Sinta's mother. Arjuna nodded.

Plakk

Sinta's mother slapped Arjuna on the cheek. Eleena and Melinda who were peeking out from behind the wall took a moment's glance. They had not expected there to be a slap in the debate this time.

"Have you lost your mind?" Sinta's mother did not think out with the contents of her daughter-in-law's mind.

"I don't want to embarrass myself by stepping down from this partnership. It's enough of him to humiliate me, it's my turn to humiliate him."

Sinta holding Arjuna's arm brought Arjuna to look at her. "You mean? What are you doing with Rama?"

"Just say 'I used to offer cooperation and now you're begging for cooperation with me'."

Sinta sighed. "Why are you talking like Rama, he will be angry with you, Rama's ego is hurt, Jun."

"No more talking to Rama, Sinta!" lantang.

"I'm not talking about Rama, I'm talking about their cooperation, just like you. And even if Arjuna does want to cooperate with Rama it does not matter. Not a big problem, Aksanta company cooperates with the Aerospace company, not our company. Not Agustama's company, Bang. Our families have nothing to do with this, so why are we raising this problem" explained Sinta.

"It's definitely something to do with Sinta!"

"What's the connection?!"

"Dirgantara Company is under the auspices of Agustama company." Sinta and elder brother both looked at their father.

The old man approached Arjuna again, standing right in front of Arjuna.

"We saved the Aerospace company, until it could be this big now. Dirgantara company is still in the auspices of our company. If they cooperate with Aksanta, we will also indirectly cooperate with them."

"But Pa—"

"We and the Aerospace company are still related" the man cut.

Big brother Sinta shook his head. "I can't imagine meeting Rama, Pa."

"Don't mention that name anymore. The heat is hot" continued Arjuna's mother-in-law.

"My family never wanted anything to do with Aksanta for a second. And you." Arjuna's father-in-law pointed at him. "You made my family relate to them again."

"What will happen again?" ask brother Sinta.

"So, talk to you, Bang!" snapped mother. "Mama knows your brother is not sane, but mama hopes his insanity has disappeared now."

"I'm not sane?" tanya Sinta pointed to herself.

"Yes, you started all this. Just try if you don't meet him," his mother replied.

"I agree, it all started with Sinta" added her older brother.

Sinta snorted, she shook her head in surprise. "I still don't understand that much you like the Aksanta family. They're not that bad, though."

"They're worse, Sinta Dela Agustama!" loud his older brother. "I'm sorry, I forgot you've become the Aerospace Lady."

"Never forget what they did to you, Sin. They ruined my mother's daughter's life."

"That was a long time ago, Ma. Don't remember anymore" tepis Sinta.

"Should continue to be discussed, let you remember. And far away from Aksanta," his mother replied.

"I don't like anything that smells with Aksanta. I hated Aksanta until I felt I was crazy" said the old man.

The old man's gaze returned to Arjuna. "I don't want to know, Arjuna Dirgantara. You work with them, try never to meet my family with them," he explained slowly and firmly.

Arjuna glanced at Sinta who was looking the other way. "But there's been a meeting with Aksanta's members."

Sinta turned to Arjuna. As well as the other gaze, it was fixed on Sinta according to the direction of Arjuna's eyes.

The other look frightened Sinta. And so did Eleena. The girl who was still with Melinda behind the wall, felt uneasy. He felt that the words from his father were pointing at him. What would they do when they found out Eleena was always involved in a quarrel with Aksanta's only begotten Son.

Sinta's mother approached her daughter. "You've met with Aksanta's members?"

Sinta did not give any answer, she just kept quiet.

"You met Rama?" Now her father asked, making Sinta feel very cornered. "You met Rama?" repeat father.

Sinta nodded slowly, not daring to look at her father.

The old man dropped one of the chairs on the dining table, making quite a loud noise.

"Since when? When did you meet her?"

"How many days ago, but it was not on purpose, I swear—"

"Love!" snapped dad. "Why don't you have his hat keeps meeting with him. Remember all the things he's done to you, remember how he and his family humiliated us, remember how he took away the happiness you had."

Sinta has no power to hold back her tears. The anger of her father always made Sinta afraid. He met Rama by accident, so this was not his fault.

Melinda was very focused on peering and hearing every word that came out of the mouths of the old men.

"What is Sinta's relationship with Mr Rama?" ask Melinda suddenly.

"Are they lovers?" Eleena shook her head strongly.

"No way, Mel. Calling Aksanta's name is already a difficult thing to do, so there is no way Mother has a relationship with the Aksanta family."

Melinda was silent for a moment. He brought out a smile from the corner of his lips. "Gue is increasingly curious about the problems of our family with Aksanta, whatan," he murmured.

Eleena was invited to be curious by their family problems. What caused the Agustamians to hate the Aksanta family to his bones. There must be something behind it all, but what. And Vishnu, does he know his family's problems with the Agustama family? Or is the root of their problems still a secret?

Eleena's head was filled with confusion. To be sure now, Eleena must cover up as much as possible if she continues to meet the Son of Aksanta. Eleena's fear, Aksanta's and Agustama's family's enmity turns out to be more serious than Eleena ever imagined.
