Arlene flinched, a firm voice and accompanied a ketus with a flat face, not forgetting both sharp eyes staring at her.
"I'm Nek" Dean answered briefly, "She's my wife and isn't this indeed the most suitable place for a daughter-in-law in this house" he said, holding Arlene's hand.
Indeed, this time Arlene felt that she was not acting, her feelings were mixed with all the attitudes that all the Dean family had shown towards her, or because she was too passionate about her role.
"Who approved of your marriage?" miranda's voice boomed even more as she said, "Dean?!"
Suspected, like a suspect who was caught red-handed, Miranda's gaze was like a sword that was ready to plunge her to death. Although Dean had answered him but Miranda was not satisfied, there were smiles from Sorra and Selena who stared at each other with disgust and satisfaction because Grandma was in their stronghold. No one supported him.
"The reality is that I'm married to Nek, so I hope Grandma understands, Grandma understands everyone" Dean said firmly. "I love Arlene, she's my wife!"
"Dee!" hiss Deborah, who reminds her son not to keep talking and will make Miranda even more angry.
Miranda was still silent, the look on her face did not even change in the slightest, bergitu also with Arlene who continued to be stared at.
"Dead, can I die standing if everyone goes against us Dean. It's heavy!" His frown that only Dean could hear.
"You're giving up? If yes ... Ready to just give back the money I gave you with a 10-fold fine!"
Arlene turned to the sweet smiling man with both eyebrows going up and down.
"You're crazy!" he muttered without sound. "Where should I return the money and the fine?"
"Then stick to the plan I've made, you just have to perform well." Whisper Dean by gluing his hand to Arlene's.
"What's your name?"
Arlene gasped at the simple question posed by Miranda with a flat tone and a firm voice but made her knees even more limp.
"Name ... Arlene Khesya."
Miranda did not react when she heard it, she did not even look at Arlene, debora and Sorra pulled their lips up because the owner of the fortune did not care about the woman who had just come to their family.
"Next time you pay attention to all the rules that we've implemented in this family that were implemented long before you came Arlene!" ketus Miranda, made the two women who were beside her right cheer, while Arlene swallowed the saliva with difficulty. Dean touched his arm, he turned to the man who had hired him so dearly and nodded his head.
"You can give up now at all costs or you take Grandma's heart well ... Make him like you." he muttered to Arlene who was getting restless.
Arlene nodded slowly, but she could not deny that if she was not sure to take Miranda's heart, she did not care about everyone there, because Deanpun did not care about her, The man only focused on the Grandmother's blessing because if Miranda had agreed, it was certain that everyone would accept all his decisions.
How is this, everyone in this house considers me their enemy, and they all have no one to support me, I don't want to care, but it's going to get harder because of Grandma. But I also can't return the money that went into my wallet, plus the fine. God, you're so stupid Arlene. Inner Arlene speaks.
"Eat!" miranda exclaimed, she really did not care when Arlene mentioned her name.
Everyone started to move, bribing the food they had been waiting for, but not with Arlene, she continued to watch Miranda's hand slowly bribe, he had just started to scoop up following the movement of the mansion lord rather than wrong again.
Silent
All ate the food on their plates, no one chatted let alone whispered whispered. The first rule that Arlene cares about and always will she remember.
"Grandma!!!"
As a girl ran in, everyone turned to the door that was now open.
"I'm home! Does anyone miss me?"
"Grandmother don't you miss me? Aky misses Grandma, misses mother, misses sister, all I miss, miss this house, and of course misses Mr. Eddi's cooking." always by moving his body movements until the body of the grandmother moves along.
"Zoya stop!! You're making grandma dizzy!" Miranda.
"grandmother ... Grandma doesn't know how much I miss you!" he said, moving, this time he hugged his mother, and did the same.
"Mother .....!"
Deborah brushed off Zoya's hand, her head spinning because of her overactive youngest. "Zoya stop ... Why did you come home before Hem's time??"
"Did mom forget? This semester holiday is longer, has not the dormitory already told the mother before?" Zoya nodded with her moves.
Sorra sighed, "It's Miss .. She is! Will go home and go as he pleases, just like his beloved brother!" Delicatess to Dean.
"Only Sorra's brother would ever be happy if I came home!" said Zoya who did not care about the presence of Selena who smiled to see him.
"Zoya .. Good to see you again!" sapanya basa.
"But I'm not happy to see you Selena!"
Selena gave a rough snort, then clenched her hands under the table. Zoya then walks over to Dean, hugging him tightly, her second brother and the only man in the house who cares more than anyone else.
"Sister Dean...!"
"Zoya .. Sweet Rabbit!!" dean laughed.
"Iih ... always mention that name! I'm a big boy now! My height will catch up with you." Zoya pinches Dean's arm. Until Dean grimaces,
Then his eyes were fixed directly on Arlene who was standing next to Dean.
The two stared at each other, Zoya frowning with the person she had just seen beside the older brother.
"It's Arlene .. my wife!" dean said, raising both eyebrows.
"Huh .. really? Beautiful sister-in-law," Zoya rubbed her hands on the pants she was wearing, then extended her hand towards Arlene. "Zoya Raveena .. Just call Zoya, Dean's sister! Aren't we?" he told Dean.
"Sure!! Come sit down .. You don't want to see everyone get angry Zo!!"
"Iihhh .. call me Zoya .. not Zo!!" Zoya raised her voice volume by an octav.
Making everyone shake their heads at the behavior of the 18-year-old girl who always screams.
"Zoya ise. Sit ...!" miranda exclaimed, "Do I have to yell when I see your behavior?" said again.
"Yes Nek .. I'll sit down!"
This time Zoya scowled, she again walked around and pulled the chair next to Sorra, and was right opposite Dean.
The dining room with all-gold ornaments combined with silver color to be silent again, they really enjoy every chew from their respective plates, each of them, until some maids came just to clean up the table because the dinner hour was over. Only Arlene is still seen holding a spoon and fork in her hand. As much as she wanted to add to her dinner, the small portion did not make her full.
"Miliano ...!" Dean pointed at the spoon and fork with a glance at his eyes only. Tell him to put it down immediately because the maid will take it.
"I'm still hungry Dean."
