Love Among Family Hostility
New question

Eleena parked her car in the yard of the Dirgantara family residence. The girl got out of her favorite red car. Eleena enters her house with questions that are still not lost in the head.

The words of Vishnu and all the sentences that the man threw, embedded in the mind of Eleena. All the things about Sinta and Rama that Vishnu said to make Eleena out of focus. He almost hit someone who crossed. If only, that person had not shouted and resuscitated Eleena from her daydream, perhaps now Eleena was already in the hospital or police station for bumping into someone else.

Eleena walked into her mansion. However, the presence of someone walking towards the girl stopped Eleena's steps. The woman with a sweet smile, walked towards him.

Eleena froze, as if she was being approached by a scary person, when it was her beloved Sinta—.

"You're home, honey." Sinta stroked Eleena's mane, taking her daughter to sit on the sofa.

As hypnotized, Eleena follows Sinta who walks over to sit on the sofa. Sinta displayed her beautiful smile, poured water into the glass and gave it to Eleena.

Eleena took the glass from Sinta's hand slowly, as if she still hesitated whether she should take it or not.

"You must be tired of going home from college. So Mother made a cake for El." Sinta got up from her seat, "Just now." Sinta left from there, heading towards the kitchen.

In five minutes, the woman came back. A plate of chocolate cake on it was placed on the front desk where Eleena sat.

"It's Honey." Sinta took one piece of her homemade chocolate cake, she pointed it at Eleena, telling the girl to open her mouth to be fed.

Instead of opening her mouth, Eleena put the chocolate cake back on the plate. Sinta saw that in confusion, Eleena never refused to be fed by him but now her favorite son put back the things he had taken.

"El, what's wrong with you?" ask Sinta.

"Bun, El wants the nanya." Eleena invites Sinta to get up from the sofa when she sees her housemaid cleaning a vase.

Without saying anything, Sinta followed where Eleena took the woman away. Eleena told Sinta to sit on the edge of the bed, then she closed the door and locked it. Hoping that no one would come in and mess up all the questions that Eleena had designed to ask Sinta.

Eleena sat next to Sinta. "Why Honey?" sinta asked, when Eleena was already sitting pretty next to her.

"Bun, Mommy used to have an ex?" Eleena opened the topic with such ambiguous questions. The question that even Sinta herself did not know how she answered.

"former?" Eleena nodded. Sinta answered long enough, if asked about someone in the past, Sinta's mind must be directly fixed on Rama. Because only that man is the past in Sinta's life.

Finally Sinta shook her head in response, unwilling to open her mouth to explain.

"Mother meets Dad continues to marry Dad directly, right? Mother has no relationship with anyone other than Dad, right? Mommy's just in love with El's dad, right?" Eleena shot Sinta with a long question.

All those questions made Sinta cramped. The woman seemed to lose her mind and breath to answer. For 20 years she lived in this house with Eleena, this girl next to her had never asked her such a thing. Eleena never dared to examine Sinta's past, but why now the boy asked.

"Why are you that?" Instead of answering, Sinta instead threw a question as well.

"Mother answer," replied Eleena firmly. Just this time Sinta felt her son yell at her, whereas all this time Eleena never dared to raise her voice when talking to her or with Arjuna.

"That's Mother's privacy. You can't know." Sinta got up from her seat, walked towards the door, but Eleena intercepted Sinta's hand that was about to turn the door handle.

"El is not a child, Mother. El deserves to know about Mother's life," said Eleena.

"You're not as polite as that, El!" Sinta's tone rose, throwing Eleena's hand. His son was being disrespectful.

"Mother, El just wants to know. Mommy has what relationship other than the same father, because Vishnu said when his father was the same grandfather fighting, they called the name Mother."

Telak. Sinta froze as soon as she heard Eleena's words. As if he could no longer stand up straight, Sinta squeezed and almost fell down. It was fortunate that Eleena was quick to hold her mother, and help Sinta sit back in her bed.

Eleena poured water into the glass to give to Sinta and drank it by the woman.

"Mother, mother why? El was wrong? Apologize, Bun." Eleena repeated the apology many times while stroking Sinta's palm. Hoping his mother wouldn't be angry and willing to talk instead of staring blankly at the wall of his room.

"The same Mister Aksanta who quarreled?" Sinta began to turn her gaze to Eleena, even though the woman's gaze was still blank.

Eleena swallowed her saliva suck, then nodded stiffly. He was sure Sinta could see her nod even though the woman's gaze was out of nowhere even towards him.

"Call the name of Mother?" Eleena nodded again.

"What do they call Mother's name?"

"Love Dela Agustama."

Done it. Sinta doesn't know what else to do. The two Aksanta members, calling his name Agustama in the back. Sinta could think of nothing more, the woman stood up. Trying to get out of Eleena's room, though somewhat staggering. When Eleena tried to help Sinta resisted loudly.

The woman walked slowly out of her son's room. Sinta's empty mind was filled only with her full name referred to by members of Aksanta. Sinta doesn't know anything, which she knows after this everything will get worse. Sinta has been trying to escape Aksanta's shadow for 20 years.

"Lord, don't play me anymore," said Sinta.

...***...

The night came. Sinta was busy preparing dinner. After almost three hours the woman shut herself in the room, busy herself to think about Aksanta and the events of decades ago. Now Sinta turned her mind to preparing dinner for her starving son and husband.

Arjuna reads on the sofa near the dining room, and Eleena settles into Sinta and Arjuna's room. The girl entered slowly, and closed the door of the room very slowly. Does not make any sound.

Eleena's curiosity has not been answered, even seeing Sinta's reaction like that Eleena's curiosity is increasingly turbulent. If Sinta did not want to talk about Aksanta's family to her, Eleena was sure that there was something in this room.

Sinta and Arjuna's room must have kept a secret that Eleena didn't know. Because he said, all the secrets other than known by the owner and God, but also known by the room where to rest.

Eleena's hand moved open Sinta's closet. Look around for every single thing that could be the answer to the questions in your head. Eleena opened one by one the files stored in the closet, opening one by one the gaps in the pile of clothes to find something there.

Until finally the carelessness of Eleena dropped a few piles of Sinta clothes from the closet.

"Stupid!" his curse on himself but still controlling the tone of speech was a bit inaudible until he exited the room.

However, a split second later the girl's brown iris found there was a piece of paper that looked like a hard photograph but was upside down. The paper lay in the middle of Sinta's pile of clothes.

"Is that not the photo?" muttered Eleena, taking the upside down photo paper.

Eleena turned the photo upside down and was surprised to find what was inside the shabby photo paper she was holding right now.

"Mother-mother?"

The shabby photo paper contained photos of Sinta and Rama wearing wedding clothes with a smile plastered clearly on the face. Eleena couldn't possibly have seen it wrong, it was really Sinta's face. The typical smile of the woman who was currently her mother could not possibly be unrecognizable to Eleena. And Rama, Eleena had already met with Rama, she could not have misunderstood Rama.

Eleena pulled out her phone, photographed what she found. At least if Sinta finds this photo and then throws it away, Eleena has something to answer even though it is still gray.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside. Eleena hurriedly put back the pile of Sinta's clothes into the closet. But fatefully, before Eleena could tidy up all the clothes that fell Sinta had come first.

The woman looked at the silent Eleena who had already been caught off guard. Sinta approached her son who was holding a dress of hers.

"What are you doing?" ask Sinta.

"This, Bun. Borrow Mother's clothes, beautiful because." Eleena showed Sinta the dress she was holding. With a strange smile, Eleena hoped that Sinta would not be suspicious.

Eleena glanced at the photo paper that she still had not had time to overwrite with the last dress because Sinta had already caught her wet first.

"If you want, say the same Mother, son. Don't play take it."

Eleena smiled shyly, leaning her body into Sinta's closet so that the closet door was closed and Sinta did not find any of the photos.

"Sorry Bun" said Eleena.

Sinta smiled, "Yes no papa. Take a Mother's dress. But now we eat ya." Eleena nodded.

Sinta stroked her son's mane and left first out of the room leaving Eleena alone, or the woman who did not know her son was following her or not.

Eleena breathed a sigh of relief. The girl hurriedly opened the closet again, putting the shabby photo paper, on the sidelines of the clothes Sinta had piled. There was no way Eleena would put back the dress she had taken. Sinta may be suspicious because Eleena did not use the dress.

"Mother is related to Lord Rama." Eleena opened her phone and saw the photo she managed to take. "The bridegroom, Mother's relationship with Lord Rama, must be more than I know."

"Eleena Honey!" Sinta went back into the room and Eleena immediately turned off her phone.

"Mother thinks you're on the road yet." Sinta pulled Eleena's hand, taking the girl out with her towards the dinner table for dinner as usual.

Eleena looked at Sinta's back who was still walking pulling her hand until they arrived at the dining table.

Arjuna waved, at Sinta and Eleena who had just arrived. The man told Eleena and Sinta to sit down for dinner.

Eleena glances at Arjuna, all the conspiracy theories about Sinta's relationship and her past with Rama further confuse Eleena. Plus, Eleena felt that Arjuna was also hiding something from her.

The photo she found in Sinta's closet, as if giving Eleena a clue and telling the girl to find out more about all this.

"That's really the same Mother as Lord Rama or not huh? Why wear a wedding dress? Mother with Lord Rama as close as what? What did you cover from me?"

The new questions popped into Eleena's head. And to find the answer, Eleena must find out. But he will not find out for himself, but with Vishnu.
