Love Among Family Hostility
Proposals

"Dear." The woman's soft voice along with her small beat shifted the attention of Eleena who was originally focused on painting on a small canvas.

"Look in Bun," Eleena answered, refocusing herself on continuing the unfinished painting.

Sinta went inside, she flashed a smile when she saw Eleena sitting on the sofa in the room with her hands holding a brush and canvas that had several colors in it.

"What painting, son?" tanya Sinta sat next to Qania after moving the colorful pallet to the left of Qania.

"Flower, suddenly the peeper paints the flowers, Bun." Eleena showed her half-finished painting to Sinta.

"Aren't you beautiful, Bun?" tanyakanya. Sinta stroked Eleena's mane. "Good, smart child Mother," praised Sinta.

"It's not finished yet Mother has said it's good, what if it's finished later," said Eleena with a little bragging intonation.

Sinta chuckled small because of the words of her son. Eleena is similar to Sinta. Not his face more into the attitude and expertise of the girl. Sometimes, Eleena reminded Sinta of her past self. Eleena was raised by Sinta for almost 20 years. Sinta teaches Eleena what she used to like, she also teaches Eleena to behave like her. Sinta doesn't force Eleena to be herself, only she wants people to believe that Eleena is her child if she grows up. Because Sinta wants the truth about Eleena to be known enough by her family to not get in the ears of outsiders.

"El, Mommy can it?" sinta Permit. Eleena raised her gaze she gestured for Sinta to directly reveal what she wanted to convey.

"You, same Vishnu dating huh?"

Eleena's movement stopped. He who wants to put brown on the canvas to add the stems to the flower picture is forced to put the brush back into the pallet.

"Kok Mother is that?" Eleena put away the painting. The girl thought that the conversation she and Sinta would be long so she would stop her movement a lot to put the colors on the canvas because she had to focus on hearing Sinta's words.

"Gga papa El, Mommy is just curious because you used the language I-you same Vishnu, so Mother nanya."

Eleena fell silent, she forgot that she was indeed using the language of I-you to Vishnu earlier. And that's because the guy started first. Though Vishnu had said that there were no more Rama's men who followed them but Eleena seemed to not be able to control her mouth to not use the language I-you and more surprisingly Vishnu also used that language. It was only natural for Sinta to ask like this now.

"No dating kok Bun, if El dating must be El said the same Mother," he said, stroking his hands began to wrinkle Sinta.

"If you're not dating, what was it? Are you the same as Vishnu? No more Arfin?" The question was thrown by Sinta to his poor son because he still had to think about what answers made sense and could be trusted by his mother.

"El themenan with Vishnu, Bun but just aka Mother herself who told her to nganter El earlier. If it's Arfin, El's still the same Arfin, Arfin's El's best friend."

"If Vishnu is your dearest friend?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Checkmate. Eleena spontaneously let out the word unconsciously. He, not even knowing how the word could be smoothly spoken from his thin lips.

"Cie, do you like Vishnu?" Sinta teased her son because of the answer 'yes' that Eleena threw at him earlier.

"No Mother" whined Eleena.

Sinta laughed satisfied to make Eleena feel upset. One fact Sinta is ignorant, it feels like the woman's life is not calm if she does not disturb Eleena or Arjuna. Eleena's indignation sometimes upset Arjuna but Arjuna never got angry at his wife because he knew how she behaved even before they got married. Arjuna has known Sinta's attitude since the woman who is now his wife is in a relationship with Rama.

"Eventied? In park?"

Sinta nodded in spirit. "Yes, Son. That is for valentine events, how if you and Vishnu go together to get there just like valentine. Must be exciting," suggested Sinta full of passion.

"No!" The heavy, firm voice interrupted Eleena and Sinta who were sitting on the sofa of the room. They looked at the door of the room. The door was open, not closed and in the doorway stood Arjuna with a sharp gaze and a firm jaw.

"Dad does not want you to decet-deket again the same Vishnu," asked Arjuna but instead sounded as if the order that fell into the realm of coercion.

"Juna, Vishnu is El. Can dong El play with him, El needs refreshing." Sinta said as she approached Arjuna who was still faithful standing in the doorway of Eleena's room without moving a single bit from there.

"I came home doesn't mean anything, Sin," Arjuna said.

"Loh why? Vishnu with El kan temen, let them go together. Let your child not stay home." Sinta still continues to give a reply to Arjuna's argument so that the man is not too firm and gives a scary air in Eleena's room.

"You want him to El, don't you think, I don't like him. And I don't want my son to be affected by her bad influence." Arjuna waltzed away from there just like that after he felt he had finished saying the sentence he should have said long ago.

"June!" sinta's screams called Arjuna but the person called did not respond at all.

Eleena slightly lowered her gaze. What Vishnu said was true, Arjuna did not like it. And maybe the reason is because Vishnu is the son of Rama. Arjuna dislikes Rama and everything about the man including his son as well as Rama. But why are they even cooperating, this is a little confusing.

Sinta stared at Arjuna's back which slowly disappeared after she turned into another room in their mansion. Everyone has their reasons when they don't like someone else. So did Arjuna, the man had a strong reason why he could not like Vishnu. Due to the problems that occurred decades ago between Arjuna and Rama their relationship has both been strained to this extent. Because of Arjuna's problems with Rama, Arjuna to the point of not liking Vishnu. Because Sinta knew that Vishnu was the son of Rama. Yes, Arjuna did not like Vishnu because Vishnu was the son of Rama—lelaki who once wounded and destroyed Arjuna's trust.

"What if you and Eleena go to a garden event held on Valentine's Day?"

The proposal of Rama who had been in Vishnu's room a little make the 20-year-old man jumped from his sleep. Vishnu looked at Rama confused, he just closed his eyes until finally Rama's proposal made Vishnu missed by surprise.

"It's February 12." Rama saw a small calendar on the nightstand of Vishnu's room. "Papa want, February 14 coincides with Valentine you invite Eleena to take a walk in the park" he continued.

"Garden?"

"The garden that Papa showed us when we got home from seeing a client."

Ah, the park apparently. Vishnu knew the park because he kept his kitten there.

"Pa—"

"Your valentine goes with Eleena, no objection." Rama closed the door to Vishnu's room, really not giving the poor man to argue or refute.

Vishnu ruffled his hair in frustration. It's all getting harder now, she thinks with her dating Eleena and introducing her to Rama all the problems are over. But Rama even wanted to make the relationship between Vishnu and Eleena that far. They have spoken, acted like lovers and now have to date like lovers too.

Vishnu returned to his body, staring at the ceiling of the room. Vishnu's life is chaotic, he now has to rack his brains so that Eleena will be invited to go with him. Rama was troublesome, and that's a fact.
