The Friend Yang Kunikahi

1. Leo's return

Leo boarded a black BMW owned by his father who had just arrived at the airport's front parking lot. A week ago his father forced him to come home. None other than for the reason of his match with the woman who almost six years of his best friend, who had agreed on both sides of the family a few months ago, he said, before this news was reported to Leo.

Vishnu did not care about the rejection that was presented by his only child and still forced Leo to return home, coupled with the support of Melinda who was also enthusiastic about welcoming her son's matchmaking.

“Don't frown, Bang your handsome face so reduced, tuh,” Melinda's tease when Leo just threw his body in the back seat when he previously put the suitcase he carried into the trunk.

“Bodo ah, Brother is upset with the same Father Mother as well!” answered the brownish-haired man who now wears a plain white T-shirt in combination with a black bomber jacket that is not zipped, as well as black jeans that are torn on the knee. The man pouted and threw his face to the side of the window. Not looking at his parents.

“You should be happy, Bang, Papa your soul mate is the same woman you already know, friendly anyway.” Vishnu opened his voice, his gaze still focused on the street with his hands busy on the steering wheel of the car.

“Yes, even though the woman already knows you, but 'the brother has no feelings, Dad, the same Luna. We are only friends, and it is pure!” denounce Leo defend yourself. Vishnu just nodded his head without replying again to the words of the son.

“Love is here because it's used to it, Bang. At this time you do not love him, but who knows tomorrow or the day after that feeling began to grow,” Melinda looked gently at the son who still displayed his pouting face.

The rest of the journey was filled with silence, because Leo was still sulking to his parents.

An hour later Vishnu had entered the housing complex, honking the horn so that the security guard opened the gate of the house and then stopped his car when it reached the yard.

Leo went down first to close the car door with a little slamming making Melinda surprised. Just leave without saying anything even leaving her suitcase in the trunk.

“Your child, if angry like a child.” Melinda told her husband. The two middle-aged people shook their heads then joined hands to enter the house.

Leo went into his room, slammed his body into a bed he had not been in for a long time. Comfortable. That is the first time Leo feels in the midst of fatigue due to a long trip.

The day is still daytime but drowsiness is also tired making Leo finally close his eyes, fall asleep without changing his clothes first.

Melinda only shook her head when she saw her son was lying peacefully on the bed, without even taking off his shoes. Take a slow step so as not to make a sound that will wake the son. Melinda took off her shoes from Leo's feet, looked at the tired face so noticeable, then kissed the child's forehead alone before leaving Leo's room and allowing her child to rest.

“Tomorrow, Well talk again with your son, now let Leo rest first, well,” said Melinda to her husband when he just landed his butt on the sofa next to the husband who was watching the news broadcast on television.

Vishnu nodded in agreement with the wife's proposal. Embrace and lean Melinda's head against her chest and kiss she landed on the top of her head.

Age may be old, but harmony a family vishnu prioritize. Although busy with his work, Vishnu never forgets the family he loves, even in the midst of his busy life Vishnu took the time to pick up the son just a puppet that he forced back from America, the place where his son studied.

Late in the evening, Leo was still sound in his sleep, Melinda returned to the gray room which was now pitch-black due to the lights that had not been turned on. Stepping in, turning on the lights also closed the curtains and sat down on the side of Leo's bed.

“Wake up, baby you have to eat first, it's already night,” again Melinda shook Leo's body.

He blinked several times to adjust the light that entered his eyes that had just opened. Turning his sleeping position to sit, Leo stretched his hands up, wriggling.

“Mandi there, after that down for dinner. Same father Mother wait at the dinner table.” Leo only replied with a nod before Melinda finally came out of her son's room.

After feeling his consciousness had returned completely, then Leo got out of bed and went into the bathroom to clean his body. It did not take long, because now the handsome man who has a plaid stomach is fresh. Habits that you should know that Leo is very fond of bare-chested after bathing even since childhood the habit is like ingrained to this day.

After feeling his body was dry then Leo took a puffed-sleeved shirt from his big closet, then came out of the room and stepped down the stairs to the dining room where his parents were waiting.

“Goodnight Dad, Mother,” greet Leo while sitting in the chair next to Melinda. The dining table that was filled by eight people was always filled by the three of them.

“Night too, dear.” Reply Melinda and Vishnu together.

Melinda scoops the rice, fills the empty plate of her husband then fills Leo's plate. Alternately, also give the side dishes that his two beloved men want before filling his own plate.

The three ate quietly, occasionally in the interlude of chatter dominated by Melinda who always asked about how her son's daily life in the country of people. Leo who is always open to his family tells how he is in America, even until the women who pursue him are not separated from the story of Leo.

Sometimes his parents laugh when they find the cuteness of the story of the child. Vishnu despite having a sharp gaze and businessman who can be said to be respected enough by many people, but when with family he will turn into a warm figure that makes his family comfortable. But even so, Vishnu's order is an absolute thing that no one can disturb including the matter of arranged marriage that has been agreed with his colleagues, which this time will do great cooperation.

Leo, although the only child of Vishnu-Melinda who can be said to be included in the ranks of the children of the rich, can not just get what he wants, Leo spoiled by his mother, but he is also self-directed, responsible and assertive by his father even though the more commonly seen are the spoiled Leo and the plot.

“You want to, yes, accept this matchmaking?” persuade Melinda when the three of them had moved to the living room while watching television.

“Only Brother can refuse, Bun? Brother enough to know what the character of Dad, what else if it's been a big cooperation. My own son, the only one to fall! 21 Years in marriage. Huhh, what is the power of Brother who can only obey even though he really wants to throw Dad to the dam,” Leo's resignation makes Melinda comment on a smile. Vishnu patted proudly on the shoulders of the child just wayangnya, although quite upset to hear the last word that was thrown from the mouth of his son.

“Abang is your favorite Mother!” happy screeches Melinda smiled widely. Leo just sighed.

“Pending time from the past actually really want your marriage, Bang. Mother envies the family of Om Leon, they already want to have a grandson. Mother is also anxious to see Lyra same Pandu who at a young age and still cute it already wants to bear the title of parents.” With a sullen and sad face Melinda conveyed her feelings.

“Udah, do not need to frown again, 'Kan Abang has agreed so, Mommy's wishes will soon reach, okay?” Melinda nodded happily at the words of her son.

Although the only child, but Melinda is proud because Leo is a submissive child, never defiant even though initially always grumbling to protest rejection of the wishes of her parents.
