(Still Revised) Grandfather's Green Lake

Wh why?

Tonight at the dinner table of the Damrah family house looks so quiet, with no one to speak. Although everything was at home, even being at one table, not as usual made Aira feel there was something strange with her husband and children since last afternoon.

The clink of the sound of spoons and plates adorning that night, even Humaira would at least protest when Ronald took the side dish in front of her, but she was silent without a word.

In the midst of eating, Aira put down her spoon, she began to be annoyed with the behavior of the residents of this house since the afternoon. He had to think about what date and day it was now, maybe he was on his birthday or was deliberately bullied to be given a surprise, he thought very hard.

After he remembered, there was no special day today, he sighed harshly, stopped eating it, drank half a glass of water and began to look at the faces on the dining table, their faces looked more strange than usual.

As a mother and wife, she knew their nature. Even the nature of Ronald who was new home with them, he began to know although not entirely as he knew his son and daughter.

"What about your work today?" aira started talking.

No one answered, Aira is feeling annoyed now.

"Are you angry at me?" ask Aira.

Agung stopped the spoon that almost entered his mouth, and put the spoon filled with rice back into the plate, he let out a long sigh before answering his mother's question.

"Mama thought a lot, why we were angry at mama, actually quite fine our work, but.." said the great, then he stopped his words and continued eating.

"But what?"

Agung did not answer anymore, he glanced at Arnel and Ronald, as well as Ronald who was stared back at him and looked at Arnel, while Arnel did not see anyone, even seemed to not care about this conversation. Making Aira suspicious, if Arnel company has serious problems.

"Did your papa lose the tender?"

"Yes" answered Agung briefly.

Aira frowned, very rarely did her husband lose a business, she was sure that beating her husband would not be an ordinary person, in view of her reaction she was very hit. Maybe because he never loses, so he's like this, his inner.

"Which part of the project? or about a new product launch?" ask her again.

"That's.." said Agung, but his words were cut off by Arnel, so he had not had time to finish the answer.

"I'm done eating, you can continue" Arnel said as he placed the spoon on the plate, wiped his lips with a tissue, then stood up and headed into his room.

The four of them only caught a glimpse of Arnel's departure, then continued his meal.

Is that tender not important to you? don't you like that painting very much? why did you suddenly give up on that guy? who's the guy? Great said in his heart.

"Ma," call her.

Aira turned her head and looked at her nervous son while talking to him at this moment, making her even more convinced that there was a problem within the company.

"Dear, do you want to say something? oh yeah, you haven't answered my mom's question. Which part of the project did you lose? or about the launch, or which one the hell?" ask Aira.

"That's ma.... anu... Mama remember not? papa's planning about the gates to the five artificial green lakes?"

"No aunt, I don't have a problem. Actually I'm just saddened to be disappointed by uncle's decision, this is my first project. But, uncle seemed to give in to someone, and.." replied Ronald, then stopped his speech.

"And what?"

Ronald just kept quiet, lowered his head and did not want to answer again. Aira then looked at Agung hoping to get an answer, she felt annoyed now with her husband, how could her husband be so selfish to his own friend's son.

Did he become stupid? or is he getting upset with Rido? and then he paid it back to Ronald by giving the project to someone else? my husband is so selfish and childish, inwardly.

"Can you tell me more details, son? maybe mom can talk to me about it. Looks like your papa's been a fool lately."

"So after we had lunch, about two o'clock, we were surprised by the arrival of two guests from the Admaja family, and we suddenly had to hold a meeting until four in the afternoon, he said, there are still many protests like this."

Aira was silent and thought hard at this time, especially when Agung said the name Admaja.

Did Yuhen come to the company? he wants to screw up? what does he want? about the fifth gate? what don't-don't....?

"Then, after we got together. We were introduced to them, they both have 40% stake in PT.ARYANDO.Tdk, this is very strange is not ma?" sobbing Agung while asking Aira.

40%? why could? isn't Aryando's company owned by my husband and Rido alone? why is there someone else? why do I never know?

"Who are they? mama really doesn't know, after mama company was pioneered by papa and your dad!"

"If there's no mistaking him for Andi Sutomo Admaja and Alex Fernando Admaja, it looks like they're son and father, I heard Andi was called father by him."

Aira was really surprised to hear her, not only Aira but Humaira was also even more surprised to hear the name that her older brother mentioned.

Whahuh? Andi Sutomo Admaja's? did I hear wrong? since when did the Admaja family have a child named Andi? Aira said in her heart

Whahuh? Alex Fernando Admaja's? is he my classmate the new student? thought Humaira.

"Is Andi old? how old are they?"

"It seems that Andi may be almost as old as papa, while Alex is like he is still in college younger than we look, right Ron?" replied the Great while elbowing Ronald.

Was he Andi a schoolmate first? is it possible that he became an Admaja family? how come?

"Then they came to take what? don't they have shares there? aren't they profitable? why would they want to take Ronald's first project?"

"They not only took on the project that Ronald was working on, but also took over the creation of a memorial house that would be built at the fifth gate. And even more upset, he didn't want the painting on display there."

"I was very upset at that time, especially when papa did not try to defend us, papa let them rule. Doesn't that mean papa doubted our performance at work? he just gave them authority? who are they?" ketus the Great.

Aira was speechless hearing the Great's words, her face turning sour.

What's with mama? why did my mother become so silent? does your mom want to defend you too? usually mama will not defend papa right, if it is clearly wrong this way? i right? inner Great.
