The lunch hour was very different from the usual in the family of David Setya Mayndra and Melliza's mother Clara Utomo.
The completeness of family members who have now gathered all make him happy because he can gather with all his children.
National holidays have set her husband as well as Celine to stay at home. And the red date has also forced Satya and Kanya to take a break from her studies from campus and also the high school Kanya used to do.
While the second daughter in the family got a semester off until Melliza was happy to welcome the return of the princess Viana the third child of her and her husband who had studied at one of the universities in Jogja is qualified and has received the number one best certification in this country.
But the completeness still has to increase again with the existence of a figure that Melliza has long wanted to see.
The figure of the woman he recently met in a condition without clothes and in a situation that the mother of five children did not expect.
The usually empty and uninhabited seats on David's family's dining table this time had a new visitor.
The dining table that equips eight chairs with a table that is so wide with the same size side with sides that each measuring two meters is really very enough to accommodate a well-guarded family will harmony by Melliza.
"You've come out of his room? Does that mean you've been pregnant with her child?" the first sentence that came out of her husband's mouth on the figure of the woman who had just filled the empty seat next to Davin.
Velicia did not reply and just sat quietly with a blank look.
Davin: "Don't bother him dad" Davin said.
Daddy: "Daddy didn't bother him, just asked. Is it wrong that daddy asks her?"
"Just say that brother Davin was afraid that this brother was taken by daddy to be made a second wife" the chirping of the youngest child made everyone look at him including Velicia herself who felt shocked when she heard the words of the sixteen year old girl.
Kanya: "What?" ask him to all the inhabitants of the dining table.
And because he felt looked at by everyone including his older brother, Kanya continued her sentence which this time made all eyes move to look at the middle-aged man who was silent in his firmness.
Kanya: "Don't look at Kanya like that. If you want to ask, just ask daddy. Daddy said he would remarry with this brother if brother Davin did not want to take responsibility and just play with this brother. Yes that's what Kanya heard directly because Kanya was there when daddy said that to brother Davin. There's even mommy" he explained.
Daddie: "Why?" asked as Celine, Viana and Satya looked at her with strange gazes.
Daddy: "What's wrong if daddy wants to take responsibility for the mistakes of daddy's son who has held the girl captive?"
"Clearly wrong!" the sentence that immediately struck after David had just stopped his words from his two children was especially Celine who most let out a loud voice.
Celine: "Still to be asked wrongly or not? Does daddy know the answer?" celine continued, rejecting her usual daddy pronunciation that she respected.
Sally: "Yes! Daddy, remember the age?" his fourth son chimed in.
Daddy: "Daddy would only marry him if Davin didn't want to take responsibility"
Celine: "No way!" the thrill of opposing her daddy's thinking.
Celine: "If daddy empathizes should direct Davin daddy's son instead of thinking and looking for solutions that we certainly won't all agree with"
"Actually..
The sentence that sounded hanging shifted all views including Davin who had just been silent and listening.
"Actually daddy married mommy because he loved her or just because it was used as a child maker?"
That sentence really made the entire dining table occupants including Velicia not believe what was just said by one of the children in the family.
His words are flat, his steady tone of voice as well as calmness in speech and eye gaze that only focused on an inedible plate of food with both hands holding each other's spoons and forks were the center of attention while in the table top.
The only daughter in the family of David and Melliza who has a quiet nature does not talk much like Kanya, not as friendly as Celine when greeting.
Almost has similarities like Davin, closed to each other but the difference is not as open as Viana on her mommy.
The twenty-three-year-old girl who had a gap of one year from Velicia looked so mature than she should be. Not his appearance from the way he wears but from the look of the face to the way he talks so calm and confusing his interlocutor.
Prefers to be alone and crave tranquility. Doesn't like to be bullied and will only talk if needed.
The attitude that makes Melliza sometimes confused about how to get closer to one of her daughters.
Viana: "If till daddy gets married again, not just with the woman next to brother Davin. Then..
His words came to a halt when his gaze arrived on the man he called a father.
Viana: "Then not brother Davin the first child who will oppose the second marriage daddy. Except me. Viana Destie Mayndra who will be in the first place will assume that I do not have a father and was only born of a mother"
The glance of his eyes was unable to make David answer, he only smiled at his third daughter who was very rare to let out his voice and opinion.
Even when Viana got up and left the dining table without touching the food that was already on her plate, all were unable to stop her steps or just to call her including Melliza as a mother who had given birth to her.
Being the only child who was always sent by her husband to travel to study in various places in this country even had been sent a year to study in the land of uncle sam when he was his age just a dozen years made Viana form a completely incomprehensible attitude Melliza.
And when assigned to continue the expertise of the father of five children that has been applied by Celine the family's firstborn, the family's, Viana refused terribly even though she wanted to continue her first sister's lecture that Celine used to live in one of the cities that are famous for her education.
Viana took a law faculty that was inversely proportional to her daddy's wishes.
Even he denied that Viana was entitled to what became his future without having to be regulated like his daddy's will.
In fact, he always defended himself and compared himself to his two brothers, Celine and Davin.
Viana:"If only brother Davin could take the faculty as he wished why not me? I'm not Celine's sister who always daddy was proud of" she said at the time.
And from that moment Melliza realized that she had been very far from her daughter.
