The Lost Sense

Chapter 91

"What's up, Arby?" he said calmly as if nothing had happened. Steady, papa can already set his attitude facing Arby aka Luke. I thought papa would have triggered his emotions as soon as he saw, Luke.

"Here, Pa, there's some files that need signatures, Papa." Luke handed me a folder containing the files.

"Oh, Papa, check it out." Papa received the file.

"Yes, Pa, you better check on him right away. Because, Arby , will send the file for tender submission" Luke explained.

"Hem, will Papa check back again," said papa coldly. Making Luke raise his eyebrows next door, astonished to see papa's reaction.

I'm watching every change in mimicry, Luke. Looks like he saw the awkwardness of papa's attitude.

"Then I go, Pa. There are still many things I want to do. Oh, yes brother, congratulations on your blessing from Papa."

"Thank you, By," I said rather surprised. Did Luke hear our other talks? Since when did Luke eavesdrop, has he heard everything we talked about? I looked at Dion, looking at him questioningly. Dion just kept locking my eyes.

When Luke was at the door, Papa rebuked Luke.

"Arby, stop!" call papa

"What's up, Pa?"

"Papa was just about to invite, your father and mother to dinner. So help you convey the invitation, Papa." clearly looks shocked in Luke's eyes. I was also astonished to hear the sudden words of my father. Does papa have a plan?

I looked at papa, but papa just glared.

"Well, Pa, I'll tell mom" he said. The more awkward Luke looks. He should have asked and refused papa's invitation, because Arby would have done that. Because his relationship with his birth mother is bad.

But Luke unknowingly or forgot about the play he was playing. He forgets that what he's playing is Arby's person, not himself.

Luke's stuck with papa's invitation!

After Luke left, the three of us looked at each other.

"Well, did you deliberately set Luke up?" my spoken.

"Yes, I want to hear his spontaneous answer. Now I believe that he's not Arby."

"But that would make him suspicious, Pa?"

"That's worth the risk he's trying to fool papa. If he wakes up, they'll be forced to save themselves. Another option, maybe they'll cancel the plan. Tara please investigate Fajar Coy's company. And give them a blow, because dare to try to play with us." said papa firmly.

"Good, Sir. But, what about Arby, sir. Its whereabouts are unknown to date."

"I'll ask Elis later. Let's see what they answer to at dinner tonight."

*****

Looks like aunt Elis wasn't suspicious of papa's invitation. With a smile, as if everything was fine. Aunt Elis and uncle came to fulfill papa's invitation. My father welcomed him normally.

"Let's pray, before enjoying this meal," asked papa as we all gathered at the dinner table to enjoy the meal.

"Eits, wait for Handoko, before we start eating, explain first what do you mean to invite us to dinner here?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we eat before we continue to talk about something else?" pep papa chilled.

"What is this really about?" ask the mother who began to suspect, because she felt something was wrong in the dinner tonight.

"It is precisely me who is confused, our tumben invited to dinner together, but there is no clarity whatsoever about the invitation." said Aunt Elis responded to the words of the mother.

Aunt Elis was finally dead. After Papa finished leading the dinner prayer began. The atmosphere felt silent, all busy with their own thoughts or indeed did not dare to open their voices. Tension dominated the atmosphere that night.

Only half way aunt Elis who had been wrapped in curiosity, finally could not bear to not start a conversation. Maybe because of the tense atmosphere, food was difficult to enter so bi Elis broke the silence.

" How are you, Reny, it looks like you're about to get married again, huh?" Aunt Elis glanced at Dion who was sitting opposite me. Dion glanced at the aunt and threw a smile.

"When will the news reach you, surely Arby will tell you?" papa looked up at Luke.

"It's an open secret, your descendants must always be in the public spotlight." said bi Elis.

"It's appropriate, let people know and get to know my family. Different from you who always cover the origin of your family. Even the whereabouts of your child you can cover it." said papa sharply.

"You mean what Handoko! You don't interfere too much in my family's affairs." kecam bi Elis sharp.

"As long as there's something to do with me I can't stay silent. Especially to threaten my family's safety."

"You're getting weird, who's threatening your family? What, indeed someone dared to do that, considering you have everything," ridiculed bi Elis.

"For a sane person would probably think several times dealing with my family. Unfortunately, more fools are trying to disturb my family's peace. Without thinking that he was playing with fire, it would burn itself out."

"Wow, that's steady. How many crazy people were looking for that with the venerable master Handoko," Aunt Elis was inflamed as well with papa's speech. Their style of fighting is always with sharp satire words.

"It's a pity, because you're one of them. I warn you, Elis! Whatever your current plan is for my family, think a hundred times before you act. Because you yourself said, I am the cruelest man you have ever known. So please step back, don't card something that isn't yours!" papa said with emphasis. His gaze sharply rained down on Aunt Elis.

Aunt Elis was stunned to hear that.

"What do you mean, you say that to me?" luke's sidelines are getting hooked.

"You don't interfere, Arby, you know you're part of your mother's plan. It's foolish to be a puppet by your own mother."

The atmosphere at the dining table was getting heated, I immediately invited Devan and Mitha to leave before the meal was over. My two children are confused.

"Come, continue eating in the room." I whispered to them. Although confused, the two chose to obey my words. I took them both to the room. I put a ketelinga headset on Devan and Mitha. So that they don't hear the word war that's about to start.

"Don't go out before, mama opens the door. It's also not to be taken off," pointed me at the device in their ears. The two of them nodded in agreement, then I walked out of the room and made sure they were safe.

"Now answer honestly, Elis, does Arby really have a twin brother!" papa's voice boomed so loud in the dining room. His anger could no longer stand.

"Papa, papa don't talk emotional, just calm down. What the hell is this. You're just two brothers but never got along!" lerai mom.

"How can I get along, with a brother like a demon like this!" hardik papa again.

"You who speak indistinctly, even call me a demon," Aunt Elis replied no less loudly.

"Then answer my question, did Arby have a twin brother, and you've been hiding it all this time?"

It wasn't just aunt Elis who jumped in shock, Luke and aunt's husband too! The three were immediately tense.

"I mean papa, what? Arby has a twin brother?" say Luke. I complained short in my heart, because Luke was still insistent on continuing his charade.

"Ask your mother herself, who knows better?"

"Is it true that Arby has a twin brother?"

"Yes!" this time I answered because I was fed up with their acting.*****
