Pain(Tings)
Chapter 20: Mood booster
The hanging explanation from Widan left Sita half-dead! He was very anxious about Zeron who called his son at the wrong time. Sita to the point of shredding the paper in order to reduce her sense of regret.
“Aghh ... Om Zeron why join ngeselin anyway!” sita Maki.
“Just Widan must be responsible! He has made me really curious about the same explanation!!” yell Sita again.
After strengthening her determination, Sita got out of her bed and tidied up her appearance to look fresher in order to demand an explanation from Widan!
Let's see it later!
...•••...
The banquet for the arrival of the Agler family with the Adirajada family is indeed frequent. At least within a year, they will hold three to five meetings. In both formal and informal events. In order to keep the cord, he said. But Sita believes, behind all the alibis, business reasons are the main factor.
Sita began to doubt that her choice would come out of the bedroom—where she hid it—was right or wrong. After descending from the stairs, all pairs of eyes were fixed on him. He cursed inwardly because of the nervous feeling he felt. While keeping his image in front of the people who are now looking at him full of big question marks, Sita remained graceful when approaching the dining room, where the two families gather.
“Sorry for the delay. There was a little obstacle,” said Sita, sincere.
He sat down beside April and his eyebrows shot up next to him as he looked at the empty seat opposite him. As if understanding the confusion that plagued the nephew that he kept paying attention to since his "silent" incident, April whispered to Sita. “That's where Om Aaron's son and Aunt Alecia who just returned from Japan,” explained the aunt.
“Who Om Aaron is it?” Understandably, other than because Sita is lazy when gathered like now, she is not a good reminder.
April knitted her eyebrows together, she stared at the astonishment of her nephew. “Seriously, you don't know about the couple Om Aaron same Aunt Alecia?”
His tantalizing voice sounded like horror in Sita's ear. Why would I not know? What is it really? Sita puts her shoulders, then focuses on her food. Although he actually felt nauseous because he felt many pairs of eyes that pay attention to him.
April pinched Sita's thigh quite hard, almost Sita choked and behaved ungracious. I could spray Mama on that! Sita glanced at her tantamount lazily. “Why else, Tan?”
“You really don't know about them? Not that you've been in an old position, right, same Widan?”
Hearing the name of the man who made him confine himself in the room, a little bit of an effect on his heart. “We didn't do that. They also rarely look out. I rarely attend family gatherings. So, naturally, right, if I don't know them too well?”
“Yes already, you continue to eat. Auntie is also a little surprised by the people at this table. All of them, as if preparing to eat you alive,” whispered April.
Sita shuddered in horror. The aunt has not been informed of her turmoil lately. If only, you know, it might not be the reaction that is accepted. Trying to be calm and unaffected by the gaze fixed on him. Sita replied in a whisper in April, “Maybe they are fascinated by me who is different,” he replied.
Almost April blaked her nephew's head. He did not expect that Sita could be that confident. He could only shake his head and refocus on his food.
After all, what do you expect from them anyway? Where they understand. Sita tried to hold herself back from getting upset or showing unpleasant ripples. Trella was more quiet than usual. While Widan, often steal the look at him. But Sita tried not to be affected by it.
Discussion about the marriage, revolving to be like a promotional event for their own children. Hmh! This is what makes Sita lazy the most. Both parents will be increasingly praised for their flexibility in educating Sita.
Amidst the storm of turmoil Sita's feelings, the notification from her phone jolted the attention of the elders. “Sori, I forgot silent phone,” regretted it. Sita moved away from the table because of the call from the caller.
“Halo? Why?” greet Sita while in her backyard.
There was a noise coming from the phone.
“Again relaxed gak?”
“Can Yes, can not. Why emang? Want to come out?”
“Come, if you want. Itung-itung my temenin out.”
The demand from Hideki is quite tempting. Moreover, Sita felt bored when she was in a room with people who made her upset. “May-be, we make a deal where, if so?”
“You're out of the house. I'm in front of your house.”
“Udah to aja?” Sita ran small towards the main door of the Adirajada family. But before his feet came to the front of the door, the instructions from Bima, stopped his steps. “Sita, where are you going?”
Sita just glanced. Staring at his family and the Widan family who were staring at him. “Out,” sahut Sita cuek.
“Sita! Mama doesn't teach you to behave disrespectfully huh!” reply Pratista who is no less ugly.
While clucking lazily, Sita looked at her mother. “Mama also never taught me how to strengthen a fragile heart.” Then regardless of the cry of his parents, Sita passed by. He also negated the astonished look of Widan he saw from the tail of his eyes.
When he reached the front yard, Sita's smile widened as he found Hideki waving his hand. Sita approaches Hideki. He never expected, that the presence of Hideki tonight, make Sita's mood a little better.
But the thing that Sita never knew was the presence of Widan who noticed the interaction of Sita and Hideki on the doorstep. It doesn't take a smart person to know what Widan's gaze means to Sita and no doubt, as a man, Widan knows clearly the intent of the look Hideki gave Sita.
