Love Among Family Hostility
Unstranger

The sky has turned dark, the sun that was shining was now replaced by the moon that was ready to light a dark night with the stars.

And in the Airspace, they're having dinner. The dining table, which is usually filled by 3 people, is now 4 people. A man in a short-sleeved sky blue T-shirt, sat down to come along for dinner.

Men who wear bandages on their foreheads and left arms, are solemnly enjoying the food they have served. Sometimes Vishnu steal the view because the atmosphere of the Dirgantara family dinner is very different from his family.

Here, they were busy exchanging laughter, the experience of the day while outside, all looking very happy. Their chat that seems there is no bored in it, Vishnu is also a little interested in hearing the experience of Arjuna when the man works.

So did Eleena who was so enthusiastic about explaining what she was doing on campus earlier. Vishnu unconsciously raised a thin smile to see the smile plastered on Eleena's face when telling stories.

"And I finally met Gilang." As soon as the name of his friend was mentioned, Vishnu's attention was fixed entirely on Eleena.

"Say who?" ask Sinta.

"The victory is Arfin, Bun, he is also the winner Vishnu."

Vishnu's mouth was already open to make a sound, but he held back. She thought that strangers had no right to ask questions or join family talks, even though Eleena mentioned her friend's name.

"Let's just say lo, he asked why you didn't come." As if she could figure out Vishnu's thoughts without the man asking her first, Eleena began to tell him about how she answered Gilang's questions.

"Gue answered you at my house, because you're sick again. But I don't think he believes it."

"Can I deket same Gilang? Don't you just take Arfin?" Vishnu began to dare to ask even though when Arjuna's gaze was on him he immediately lowered his head.

"Gue does not deket the same as Gilang, but I said the same Arfin I met you earlier. Maybe Arfin told you two friends lo it, so Gilang it's just right up to the parking lot."

Vishnu's view began to rise again. She was pervading every word that came out of Eleena's mouth. Arfin and Eleena are still close, that means they're not fighting, right. And as for Gilang who does not believe that Vishnu is sick, Vishnu knows it. Vishnu also believes Gilang better know the reason Vishnu did not come to campus and take classes. Gilang knows more about Vishnu's life.

Vishnu continued to eat. He put one mouthful after another into his mouth, savoring every bite and taste of the food that today was made directly by Sinta. Vishnu was right when he said that Sinta is similar to Meethila, Sinta's attention and kindness make Vishnu miss Meethila again.

Vishnu who was busy spending the side dish was not aware that Arjuna's gaze from earlier could not be separated from him. Especially when Vishnu raised a question to Eleena, Arjuna's gaze grew sharper.

Arjuna did not want Vishnu to be here, he did not want the Son of Aksanta to be in his house. He also felt surprised when he knew that Vishnu was in his house from Rama not from the mouth of Sinta.

Mr. Aksanta:

My son is in your house.

^^^You:^^

^^^meaning?^^^

Mr. Aksanta:

Choose, I'm the one to your house, or you're the one who came to my house to take my son home

^^^You:^^

^^^I'll take your child, Mr. Aksanta^^^

Arjuna immediately turned off his phone, he who was busy struggling with the files, now moved away from his office.

Along the way, Arjuna's thoughts are fixed on the face of the man involved in the case with Eleena a few weeks ago. The face that Arjuna had just seen for a while continued to be reflected in his mind, as if Vishnu were in front of him now.

"How could the Son of Aksanta set foot in my house" Arjuna, clenched his right hand in the car seat.

Arjuna's car arrived quickly did not need long. The man breezed into the house, he searched for the whereabouts of the people in the house. Arjuna asked the servants where Sinta and the stranger were, and the waiter pointed towards the guest room.

And sure enough, the stranger—Vishnu was in the guest room, with his wife who was bribing him with a bowl of porridge. Sinta was so friendly to the boy, that a tightness arose on Arjuna. Seeing Sinta's warm attention to Vishnu, again raises fear in the look of his face.

Arjuna ventured to step on the floor of the guest room. His footrest diverted Sinta and Vishnu's attention to turn toward him. Sinta was silent for a while, she stared at Arjuna intensely to make sure that it really was her husband who had come home from the company.

Sinta put the bowl of porridge on the nightstand, he stood near Arjuna who was still in place and looked at a man who was sitting leaning on the head of his bed.

"Why are you home?" sinta asked, Arjuna turned her eyes to Sinta. The man stared at Sinta for a long time without intending to answer the question from Sinta. Even Arjuna was the one who should have asked Sinta. "Why is Vishnu here?" "How is Vishnu here?" "For what was Rama's son in his house and familiar with his wife?" Those questions the man should have asked Sinta, but she brushed aside some of those questions when Sinta again asked her.

"Why did you come home? Is the work in the office done?"

"Udah," answered Arjuna briefly.

"I made you some good coffee." Sinta breezed away from the guest room containing Arjuna and Vishnu who were both dissolved in silence.

Arjuna brought himself closer to Rama's son. He whispered something. "I don't like Aksanta members being in my house, having finished my own dinner that will take you home to your house and away from my house."

The whisper of Arjuna silenced Vishnu who had no voice. Vishnu's eyes see how Arjuna came out of the room died many question marks on Vishnu why Arjuna could talk like that to him. Why does everyone not like the man, is being a member of Aksanta that bad?

...***...

As Arjuna had whispered this afternoon to him, Vishnu was now ready to leave Eleena's house. The owner of this house has expelled him, Vishnu can no longer escape from Rama, his life will be even more dangerous if he tries to escape again.

Now, Vishnu was saying goodbye to Sinta and Eleena.

"Thank you Auntie, give me permission to make it here for a while. Thank you to Eleena for helping me. Thanks for everything." Vishnu looked at his interlocutor according to whose words were fixed on whom.

Not Vishnu guessed, if a hug from Sinta will be given to him. The woman hugged Vishnu so tightly, as if Vishnu would have left her for so long. It was as if Vishnu had long been separated and now they are back apart. Sinta did not cry, but the tightness had already soared in her chest. It felt like Sinta was hard to breathe when she found out that Vishnu had to leave her house.

"You're fine there." Sinta loosened her embrace. The woman stroked Vishnu's hair. He stared into the hazel eyes for a long time. Iris hazel is not a stranger, Sinta used to see him often, but she does not know where.

Arjuna told Vishnu to come out. Vishnu waved his hand before he exited the main door of the Aerospace family residence. They only spent a few hours, but the sadness felt like they had been in a relationship for years.

So tight to master Sinta. The woman was powerless to hold back the cries, as soon as she saw Arjuna's car taking Vishnu away from their home. Sinta ran into the room, she closed the door. Sit behind the door crying.

"He, his face reminds me of someone, his eyes like I already know him" Sinta said.

Sinta let out all the tears and spent the tightness that had shrouded her chest.

"What is he, not a stranger?" ask Sinta to herself.

Vishnu's face continues to be imagined in Sinta's memory. He recalled how the smile, the gaze and the way the man spoke, it felt like everything was not foreign. It felt like Sinta had known it all for a long time, it felt like Sinta had been close to the man for a long time.

In the middle of Vishnu's face reflected in Sinta's memory, Rama's face suddenly appeared. Sinta's cry stopped immediately as Rama's face perched in memory. Yes, Sinta knows now, the face of Vishnu, the face is not foreign, the face is similar to the face of Alrama Aksanta.
