"-so, huh? Forgive Aunt for thinking strangely.." Said Rima slightly lowered her head, responded by a crisp laugh from Sintia who then hugged her excitedly.
"Haha! Mother is always cute, even though she is old like this!" Said Sintia opening Rima even more embarrassed. He tried to let go of his son's embrace because it wasn't strong to endure this shame any longer
"Sintia.. mother is ashamed to be seen by your lover who is laughing at us!" Whisper Rima into his son's ear, but unbeknownst to him, Arvin can listen to the whisper.
"We? I'm not ashamed! Instead I should be proud of myself for having had parents as cute as mother. If only I had the same papah as you!!" Sintia said accompanied by innuendo to Doni who felt his son's behavior could not be left too long.
"Hey, you're not polite to talk like that when there's a Tomi boy here! If you don't intend to meet him, at least appreciate him even if it's just a little!" Tegur Doni makes Sintia uncomfortable.
Sintia slowly corrected her position, then again put a stern expression on her face. A sharp look was fixed on Tomi who kept smiling like Arvin, but Sintia responded differently.
"Does he say to appreciate it!? Papah really said that!? If it is, I just want to say one thing to Papah and especially you!" Sintia looked at Doni then turned to Tomi and showed full of anger.
"Not just now, but I've asked you to stay away from me forever! However, you still dare to meet you, then I will kill you even if it causes me to go to jail! I'm so sick of seeing your face!" Sintia raised her tone while trying to intimidate the man in front of her.
However, Sintia's intimidation had no effect. Precisely now Tomi's smile is increasingly visible to make Sintia more angry. But, before he acted any further, Doni immediately got up from his seat and then tried to slap his son's face.
Of course Sintia is aware of it and can avoid or even fight back. But he could not do that nor was his opponent his own father. Therefore, there is also someone who replaces his role, namely Arvin who is now holding Doni's hand with a hard grip.
"W-what! Who do you dare to take care of the family business!?" Shouted Doni while looking full of anger at Arvin.
Hearing him, Arvin clucked, "You say violence is a form of family? Heh, if it is like that then I have the right to interfere, because from now on I belong to the family!" Strictly Arvin surprised everyone, even himself to his own surprise because he had said something out of his control.
'Ah shit, I've been acting rash this time.' Arvin sat down before himself and Doni were hit by a loud slap simultaneously.
Spontaneously Arvin released his grip and then held his cheeks slightly flushed, in contrast to Doni whose cheeks looked so red that they looked like tomatoes.
"Aws." Arvin holds her cheek and is helped by Sintia who looks very worried about her condition.
"Arvin are you okay?" Sintia asked had a trembling voice. Noticing the worried Sintia, Arvin was surprised, he widened his eyes while thinking of something that had happened before.
'What? If he was worried about me, then who slapped us!?' Arvin sat in confusion, until he finally saw the figure of Rima who was standing with his hands raised.
Seeing the apparition, Arvin was stunned. Then alternately he glanced at Sintia and looked back at Rima with his dumbfounded expression. Whereas Sintia only chuckled when she saw him, with a faint smile engraved on her face, she said explaining.
Hearing him, Arvin nodded in understanding and was amazed. But his mind was immediately distracted when he did not find Tomi's figure who had disappeared in the room. Arvin asked Sintia, but she didn't know it either.
Shortly thereafter, Tomi reappears with her bright face. Not to forget also he smiled towards Sintia and Arvin, making them both suspicious. With an unwearing feeling, Arvin tries to stay calm.
While Doni is busy with his wife's nagging, Tomi says something that makes their activities stop for a moment. "Sorry Om, Auntie. It seems I have to say goodbye first, because there was a sudden meeting about my business with the investors."
Rima who heard that then turned around and corrected her position just like Doni who felt bad if he had to let the guest go without the slightest bit of polite attitude.
"Is that so? Then, sorry to point out such an unsightly incident. And forgive the son of Om who is still muddled with his choice, who most soon will be separated. Just wait for the time, okay?" Doni deliberately raised his voice so that he could be heard by his son and Arvin.
Sintia who heard that was about to get up because she was angry with his words. However, Arvin swiftly held him back and restored his position as before.
"Well, there's no need to worry about that, I don't mind Sintia's attitude towards me. Also, about the relationship between the two of them, maybe the word om is right. Soon they will be separated, of course with a tragic incident. But I can't bear it if it happens, hopefully what I said before doesn't really happen." Tomi vows with her arrogance and is responded to by Doni's smile.
As she said that, Tomi deliberately lowered her voice so that the three of them could not hear. But then again, it was all in vain because Arvin could listen to everything. Right now, he was raising his eyebrows before smiling faintly.
'Hee. It seems that a hassle-free start does not necessarily end with the same thing.I look forward to what will happen next.' Arvin sat with confidence.
After a few minutes Tomi left, Arvin was planning to go home. Now, however, he cannot see the whereabouts of Doni anymore who disappeared after Tomi's departure. Even so, Arvin did not care about it, and he was also a little grateful that the previous conflict did not occur like the novels he had read.
When he was outside his house, Sintia was standing near Arvin who had turned on his motorbike. "Didn't your cheeks hurt anymore? Mother said the portion that you both received was equal, you know. When I saw papah's cheek, I thought you must also be in pain." His words were full of worry.
"No need to worry about anything, maybe Aunt lied to you. I don't feel any pain, anyway. I'd better leave immediately huh, I'm not comfortable with the gaze of your father who is lurking up there.." said Arvin while stroking the head of Sintia, Sintia, then he drove his motorbike out of the yard of Sintia's house.
As for Sintia, she who was curious about Arvin's words tried to look up and look towards the top window. However, he only saw the curtains that were being opened like they were blowing in the wind.
"The basis of the strange papah." Muttered Sintia then stepped into her house and prepared to argue with her papa back.
****
I'm so sorry for all of you. I as an author really not good at writing hot conflicts such as insults and so on. Actually I wanted to do that, but I was worried if the novel got a little weird because of my flaws. However, in the future I will try to include the conflict so that the atmosphere becomes hotter and more tense.
