“What do you want, Mistress?” In the end Bara spoke up after not taking it anymore with Kailla's innuendo. His two hands clasped each other on the table after roughly putting away his steak plate on the side of the table. It was obvious that he was trying to hold back his anger. If not Pram's wife, Bara sure will slap him.
“No need to interfere in my household affairs, Little Girl!” said Bara, trying to resist his intonation so as not to offend his friend.
Pram who had been silent and did not know anything, immediately turned serious looking at his wife.
“Explain to me, what's going on right now?” pram asked, staring at Kailla. Then, turn to look at Bara. Looked Bella who was bowed in fear. A much different expression than Kailla's.
“Mas, already. It's all my fault. There's nothing to do with Kailla. I told him about our household problems. I'm the most guilty of this,” obviously Bella is full of gentleness, hoping Bara's emotions subside.
“He has no ethics. Enter other people's households?” sahut Bara is upset.
Pram heard Bara's words immediately turned to his wife. “Apologies to him, Kai!” pram's orders, grabbing his wife's hand that was holding a fork. He asks Kailla to stop eating.
“Don't embarrass your husband, Kai. Quickly apologize!” pram's orders with full rigor.
“I don't want to. Request ... Om Bara apologized first to Ricko, then I will apologize to him,” said Kailla defiantly.
“Kailla!” pram held back his anger.
The embers who were trying to hold back their emotions, repeatedly sighed. Bella tried to calm him down.
“Mas, already. Don't be angry anymore. Poor baby grandpa,” whispered Bella. Grab Bara's hand and put it on her stomach.
A little bit of it made Bara slightly lower his emotions. Especially seeing Pram who almost swallowed his wife round and round. (Such like fried round tofu five hundreds )
Pram's hand checks are so tight on Kailla's wrist that it causes a reddish mark on the skin, making Bara feel guilty.
“Already. I don't want to prolong the problem,” said Bara, smiling gently at his wife.
“Can't be so. Who threw a grenade. Now it's about to explode and then it's about to wash its hands and escape. I don't accept it,” Kailla said emotionally, still not wanting to stop the debate.
“Let's get it straight. Om.... do not accept because my words are willing to entrust Om to the religious court?” ask Kailla to challenge.
“That's my right to argue. If it were my husband, I would do it. But, it doesn't matter if Om is offended, I'm sorry,” Kailla continued.
“Then, where else to meddle?” kaila asked still continuing her emotions.
“Already, Kai. We're going home now. I don't want my relationship with Bara to be ruined because of you,” Pram said.
Bara and Bella are quiet, listening more and not talking.
“What's because I'm talking about mango trees? If Om is offended because of that, it means the problem is in Om Bara. I'm just telling you the truth. Ask my husband, he didn't plant a mango tree for me. Right no, he would have done it if I asked him to,”, Kailla said.
“Already. We go home now,” take Pram, drag his wife to her feet.
“I'm not done with Om Bara,” Kailla said, throwing Pram's hand.
“Listen yes, Om. I don't care if Om's house is going upside-down, chaotic. None of my business. Though I sympathize with Bella.”
“I do not accept, if my assistant was treated like that just because Om who does not believe in his own wife Om. What's wrong Ricko? Please mention what Ricko error?”
“Already, Darling. We go home now,” take Pram who starts to soften. A little bit he began to understand where the problem sits. The origin of this war of veins is in Ricko.
Pram is seen giving the code with his eyes, begging Bara to understand.
“I don't want to go home. Om it's guilty of hitting Ricko. I don't want to just finish it. Om must apologize,” asserted Kailla.
“I don't accept. If I don't defend my people, who else. You don't see .. Ricko's face is battered. Don't because he only eats salaries, low-ranking employees, small people. I still defend him. The ones who work with me are all my family. Hurting them means dealing with me!” kailla said, grabbed her bag and walked out of the restaurant.
“Bar, forgive my wife. I have to go now. I'll call you later,” pinta Pram.
“It's okay, Pram. I understand.”

After Pram and Kailla, the couple kept quiet and did not talk much. Sometimes Bara glanced at Bella with her hands still holding each other.
“Mas, forgive me,” whispered Bella. Cowering fear and worry.
“You know, Bell. I don't like our household problems to be known to others. Try, now I'm asking you. Did Kailla ever open her domestic relationship with Pram. Tell her in detail?”
Bella shakes.
“She ever complained about her husband to you?” ask Bara again.
“Never, Mas,” says Bella, bowed back.
“What to complain about. Kailla's husband loves his wife. How considerate. If you still complain the name is too late, Bella's inner”.
Rough breaths, indicating Bara is holding back his emotions. Seeing the look on his wife's face, Bara can read what Bella thinks.
“Indeed the neighboring grass looks greener, Bell. Let's look closely again. Life is like that. We see others always happy, and vice versa. Others see us happy, but who can feel only our own,” Bara said.
“Om Pram is good for his wife. Let's see, not one bit he scolded Kailla. Though obviously Kailla has done it.”
“Different with Mas. I saw your face, Mom. While in the security room, from a distance Mas's face was like a gas cylinder. If not careful, there must be an explosion,” said Bella, sontak make Bara terbahak.
“You have started learning a lot from Kailla,” Bara chirps. Still laughing in between his words.
“Bell, there are things we can share, but there are things we should keep from others. You know how this incident started?” ask Bara again.
“This happened because you involved others in our relationship.” He asked, but he also answered.
“This happened because Mas hit Brother Ricko. I didn't listen .. Kailla hasn't received it since. If Mas does not hit Brother Ricko, all this does not happen,” said Bella, do not want to lose.
“Indeed he bothered Mas? Was it wrong for Ricko until Mas hit him that badly?”
Glek—
Bara swallowed his saliva. Suddenly he could answer why he was riding blood when he saw Ricko standing next to their car.
“I ... I ...”
