Love Among Family Hostility
Dinner at Aksanta's

The black car stopped with the AK logo after entering the grounds of the palace house owned by the Aksanta family. Vishnu went down with Eleena. The man brought himself closer to Eleena who was not moving from the place because he was fascinated by the interior of Aksanta's house.

Eleena did not wonder why they called the Aksanta family the biggest family's. From the interior of his house alone, people will surely guess that the wealth they have is countless.

"Come on." Vishnu clasped Eleena's hand without the girl's permission. Eleena looked at Vishnu as she felt a touch in her right hand. The girl was about to open her mouth to argue with Vishnu because it was so impolite to touch his hand, but when Vishnu brought the girl into his house Eleena was at a loss for words.

"It." Vishnu's voice interrupted everyone in the living room.

Various gazes were fixed on Eleena. There was a gaze from the old woman who was staring at Eleena intensely as if she was trying to look for Eleena's faults and flaws from the eyes that were overlaid by the glasses just like her. There was also the indifferent gaze of the old man that Eleena guessed was definitely Vishnu's grandfather. The old man only stared at Eleena at a glance, as if no matter what and how the girl could be with her grandson now.

"Hi, are you Vishnu's girlfriend?" This is the look that Eleena likes. The woman after Sinta approached the girl as Eleena stood before them.

Meethila gives Eleena a warm hug as a welcome word in their home. Only Meethila could make Eleena comfortable because of her gaze. Because in the spotlight Meethila there is no spotlight to judge, underestimate and make Eleena as if intimidated.

"You?" Rama who had just come to the living room was shocked by the presence of the girl who helped him a few days ago from the theft. What makes Rama even more surprised is the hand of Vishnu who holds the hand of the girl, which means that Vishnu's girlfriend is a polite girl who attracted the attention of Rama a few days ago.

"Hello sir," said Eleena politely.

"No need to call Mister, just call Om. You're my son's girlfriend." Vishnu rounded his eyes to hear those words easily come out of Rama's mouth. Indeed this is their second meeting, but Rama has never been this friendly to anyone who incidentally is a friend of Vishnu except Arfin.

"Welcome to Aksanta's house, son. I invite you to dinner tonight" said Rama clearly and a little full of tenderness, in contrast to the tone he used to use when talking to Vishnu.

"Please sit down." Meethila directs Eleena to sit on the available chairs at their dining table.

A long white dining table covered by a long red cloth. There are many dishes covered for fear of flies or the like perching there. There was even a candle that had been lit in some corner of the table, they prepared dinner with Eleena like in a five-star restaurant.

Vishnu sat down first, he did not care if there was a confused Eleena who wanted to sit where because there were still three empty seats.

"Aren't you going to help your girlfriend?" rama asked, looking at Vishnu sharply after he saw Eleena who had not sat down because she was confused about where to sit.

"Sit next to me," said Vishnu slowly and it immediately got a frown from Rama. Vishnu glanced at Rama's expression at a glance and he realized that he had made a mistake. Indeed this is just pretend but still he must behave like a good lover for Eleena so that Rama does not suspect.

And that's what he did, the man stood back in Eleena's chair next to him. With a warm smile, he invited the woman who is now his girlfriend to sit there. After making sure Eleena was comfortable with her sitting position, then Vishnu sat next to the girl.

The servants moved to open one after another the food served at the dining table. Eleena was unable to count how much food was served, because when the girl wanted to count it Rama's voice interrupted.

"Please enjoy the dish" said Rama and got a nod from Eleena.

The girl took little by little the food she felt she liked from the one she had served. Eleena took the food according to the portion she used to eat. Maybe if according to the people it was too little but for Eleena this is the right portion. Moreover, her grandmother Eleena always asserted to her that she as a woman should not overeat or overeat from normal portions in general.

"Your name is Eleena, right?" rama asked as he opened the dinner. Eleena gave a small nod looking at Rama with a small smile like a frightened little girl when Rama did nothing to her.

"May I know what your full name is, son?"

Vishnu immediately looked at Eleena reminding the girl of their conversation while still in the car.

"Eleena Sapphira." Just two words. Vishnu quietly breathed a sigh of relief at Eleena's reply.

"What a beautiful name. Like the man, you are beautiful" praised Rama.

Eleena smiled awkwardly hearing Rama's praise. He doesn't know what to respond to.

They eat in silence. Yeah, Eleena feels this is bad. An air of awkwardness increasingly barged into his body. The girl's feet seemed to be asking the owner to escape from a place that felt like a royal meeting instead of a family dinner.

Eleena looked at Vishnu with innocent round eyes as if asking Vishnu to explain more deeply than the words he just issued.

"Here." Vishnu pointed at the area below the left lip. "Where?" Eleena was still confused about it.

Vishnu is not a person who has the patience to explain something many times. He immediately moved to pick up the tissue and wipe the leftovers in the left corner of Eleena's lips. It was small until Eleena was not aware that there was something on her face.

"Other meals are careful," said Vishnu relaxed but still felt faint at the hearing of Eleena.

"Name doesn't know," the girl replied.

"Because I don't know, so I'm telling you."

Eleena was a little stunned by Vishnu's me-your call. But in an instant he dispelled the confusion all the way from his mind. Especially when he saw Rama from the tail of his eyes, fear seemed to attack him.

Eleena resumed her unfinished eating activities. But it seemed a bit problematic, as Eleena's long hair was barely hitting the food if only the girl didn't hold it by hand.

Vishnu back clucked. "Eat him hair in pigtails," he said.

"You want dinner."

"So because you don't want to have a hair pigtail dinner?"

"If it's in your own house the hairpig but this is your house, not mine." Eleena continued to reply to Vishnu's arguments. The two of them were arguing as if they were the only ones there.

"Step away from me." Vishnu breezed away from there, leaving Eleena alone with various strange gazes fixed on her due to the sudden departure of the man.

Eleena is attacked by panic, attacked by shame mixed into one. Vishnu was very ignorant of himself, how Eleena explained this all to the gaze fixed on him. This is all Vishnu's plan but he's troubling Eleena instead. It should have been Eleena from the beginning to reject that shameless man.

But the swearing that Eleena muttered in her heart to Vishnu disappeared when Eleena's brown iris found the man walking back to her. He brought something out of his hand.

"Now, pigtail."

"Huh?" For a moment, Eleena was not a slow woman, but because everything Vishnu did was too sudden Eleena's brain took a little longer to understand every behavior of the man.

Just as she was wiping away the food scraps that were stuck to Eleena's lips, now she was also tucking Eleena's hair without the empress' permission. Eleena was stunned, who would have thought that the movement of Vishnu's hand twisting his hair could make Eleena's heart as if she was having a party in there.

"Usually braided hair is now a booth," said Vishnu, stroking Eleena's head after she had finished piggybacking the girl's hair.

Eleena could feel a sense of heat reaching her face. Vishnu's treatment, Eleena never got from another man besides Arjuna. Vishnu very casually seemed to do nothing back to continue eating that had been delayed.

Eleena could not stop staring at Vishnu who silently began to finish the food. It was as if the girl wanted to hold this man accountable but she did not know what was Vishnu's fault for him to debate.

"Eat." Vishnu's voice awakened Eleena from the daydream. He came back awkwardly eating his food.

"Slow down, honey, you'll be sprained." Eleena had stopped chewing because of the sentence that Vishnu had just uttered.

Eleena's heart was increasingly unable to cooperate. She had never felt this way before, but because of Vishnu's treatment of her, Eleena seemed to be taken to the seventh heaven.

Who would have thought, if Vishnu Putra Aksanta could make Eleena Safira Dirgantara bowed embarrassed and raised a red hue on her face.
