...Sister of Ipar Malang ...
...Chapter 7 Early...
...POV Lilis...
The atmosphere was immediately silent and silent. Brother Evan's face was tense and pale. Laras squinted his eyes at Evan. Om Rifan and Aunt Maya looked at each other. I looked at Dad with a look as if asking. Brother Devan, looking at me with a difficult view to interpret.
How's my? Don't ask again. Of course cold sweat was already flowing on the forehead and on the palms. My seat was already restless erratically.
Suddenly Dad chuckled while sitting on the chair previously occupied. Everyone looked at Dad in surprise, including me.
"I was just kidding. Lilis does not like apples. Not like apples, does not mean allergies, right? It's okay, right, if Lilis eats apples for 'her' health'?" father said by emphasizing the word 'he'. Father's statement just made some people in this room put on a look of relief.
"This Uncle Arif, the joke is there. Of course you can, dong. In fact, it is also good for the skin," said Aunt Maya as she flicked her hands in front of her face, then laughed lightly while covering her mouth. It looks so graceful. Understandably, she was a former model.
Glancing at the barn, he only showed his flat face. In addition to the irony of talking, Evan's sister is a minimal expression. Always show a flat face. Very cool-man.
Back when we were familiar, I always talked to him. Want to see what he responds to and show what kind of expression he does. The outcome? Of course he only answered as necessary, like yes, no, nodded, and shook his head. An expression? When he smiles he will only pull the corners of his lips, without his teeth visible. I've never seen her laugh out loud and always be elegant.
Unlike everyone who feels relieved, Om Rifan actually displays his flat face. The in-law of Kak Laras was staring at Dad's luggage with a probing look, making me curious to see the items. There was a laptop and a box about twenty times twenty centimeters in size, over Dad's lap.
After a long time staring at Father's belongings, Om Rifan changed to look at the owner. Who felt stared back at Om Rifan. Two adults who have eaten a lot of salt through their respective paths, fighting each other instinct.
"Sorry before. I think the family meeting tonight, it's not just a dinner party. Is that right, Mr Arifin?" ask Om Rifan in a flat tone.
"Indeed Mr. Rifan is a very observant person. Worth it, you are very respected by other businessmen," praised Dad on the besiannya.
The room temperature that had been normal suddenly became cold. The instinct of a successful entrepreneur, even though at an age that is no longer young, can not be doubted in analyzing.
I put the laptop and the box on the table. Then we looked at each of us one by one. Then looked at Brother Evan sharply for a long time.
"alright. Enough of the bases." Take a deep breath before opening your mouth again. "Evan, don't you want to admit something?" asked Dad still staring intently at Brother Evan.
"Confess? Admit what, Dad? Why did you ask my husband that question?" ask Kak Laras astonished. Her eyes turned to look at Dad and then at her husband.
"Laras, you better shut up first. We heard what your husband was going to say" said Dad calmly.
"What does Evan have to admit? Evan, quickly answer Dad's question! Explain, what's the matter?" cecar Kak Laras's.
Holy hooch! Could Kak Laras soon turn into medusa mode on? This is very dangerous for the people around him.
"Sorry, Dad. Can you clarify Dad's question just now?" Finally the baritone voice came out as well. I'm really looking forward to knowing what Dad really wants to do.
"What did you do a month ago in this house, Evan?" ask Dad with emphasis in each word.
Is correct. I'll open up that problem now. Oh my God, how is this? Why should you act so quickly? Why not discuss with me first?
What is more important now is the evidence. I have not thought about the evidence so that Brother Evan would confess to having*rks* me at that time. Without evidence, I would be accused instead.
"Dad, what's the matter? Why not just explain to the point? And, what's in that box?" ask Mom on a streak.
"Yes, Mr. Arif. Just explain it now. What exactly did Evan do? Evan's relationship with your family is fine, right?" Aunt Maya spoke up. Maybe I can't wait to find out what Dad's question means.
"What's this really about?" ask Kak Laras with high intonation. From the beginning, Brother Laras had a thin level of patience. Of course this will make him upset because of convoluted.
"You should all shut up first. Don't talk. To get my question answered by Evan immediately," said Dad still calmly facing the women.
Suddenly everything was silent. Waiting for what more questions come out of Dad's mouth, and what answers Evan's sister will give.
Ah, yea! I almost forgot Brother Devan. Glancing to the side, he still revealed a calm and calm face. It seemed that he was quite aware of his position on the internal matters of this family.
"Evan, are you going to keep quiet and make this matter even more protracted?" Dad took a long breath.
"I ask again. What were you doing in this house a month ago? More precisely, when I, my wife, and Laras were visiting Rara and Riyanto, her ailing husband in the next town?" ask me more details.
I hope Dad stops this interrogation. Honestly, I'm not ready. Besides there is no solid evidence, the mental is not ready.
The one asked just kept quiet. Not making his voice again. A few seconds later, he lifted his head.
"I came here .. accompanied Lilis, waiting until you came home from Budhe Rara's house." Even when he was panicked, he still had an irritant talk.
"That's all?" father asked, not satisfied with his answer.
"What about this?" I opened the box on the table slowly. Until the box is completely open, the contents are plastered in it. Everyone stood up to be able to see more clearly the thing inside the box.
My reflex immediately dropped my body on the sofa while shutting my mouth. It was my testpack. Unlike me who was shocked, everyone, other than me and Dad, just put on a confused and wondering face.
Mom took the testpack. "What's wrong with this testpack?" mother asked with a confused look while sitting down, followed by other family members back to sit.
