UNINTENTIONALLY

Episode 106's

PLANS

The sound of the Johan family's electric bell kept ringing. The one who opened the door was Lady Diana. He had just finished his nail treatment aided by the maid.

At the doorstep, her husband and son, Johan, have just returned home. Overtime, they are used to working late at night.

Lady Diana took the husband's briefcase, it had become her habit to do this if she saw her husband coming home.

"Bi, please make warm tea for Mister." In the living room he yelled at whoever the cook in the kitchen heard his orders.

The husband and his son sat down, letting go of fatigue, tired of working all day. Lady Diana sat next to the husband, accompanying the two.

"Listen, Vanya's family business is in financial crisis lately" Lady Diana alluded to her husband.

"Mom knows this news?" Mr. Tama said. She said somewhat casually, sipping on the warm tea that the housekeeper had just served. "Just Papa was going to say that."

"Yes. Mama knew from the news," he said. "Because of the snake terror case that had just hit Mrs Dwi, made the value of their company's shares plummet."

Johan who was leaning his head on the soft sofa, slightly grinned with a satisfied laugh. This is what he expected. But, Johan pretended to feel the bitterness that had just befallen his fiancee's family.

"Ehm," Johan gave a small sigh. Letting go of his tie, acting as if he was also saddened by the concern of the Vanya family. "Maybe it was they who forced the marriage of their son to Johan. They are affected by karma" Johan told both parents.

I wanted to see, what kind of expression this old man had in response to my innuendo. Although Johan was happy, but his father was not someone who could be easily fought.

"True Pa, what Johan said," said Lady Diana. "Is it possible that we will also be affected by karma for forcing Johan to marry Vanya?"

"Hus, ngawur," said Tama. "There is karma for forcing the marriage of one's own children. Superstition, don't believe customs are not as clear as that."

Having such a stubborn father certainly makes Johan resentful. Who will feel at home if you have parents who always cons.

This old man always said something else. Never supported any of my decisions, damn it. Johan held his debt to his father. The old man made Johan always want to curse and curse everything he said.

"Of course, Papa is not ashamed to be with a family that is almost bankrupt," Johan quipped again. Sipping his warm tea, he wanted to smear this old man to open his heart. The stone-hearted man, who kept restraining him. "If Johan had become Papa, maybe Johan would have broken off his engagement to Vanya."

Johan's words did indeed provoke this old man to think in that direction. Cancelling the engagement with Vanya, had actually been a thought since last afternoon when she was in the office.

He thought, there was a point in also canceling the engagement with the girl. Mr. Tama rubbed his chin, his son's words had made him crumpled. "Papa's already planning to match you up with the wong group's daughter."

"Wong group?" Sambar Lady Diana. "Why not blame?"

Master Tama nodded, he was well aware of what he said. "Papa saw the girl while attending the event that Heri's family made."

"The way at the hotel?" Lady Diana made sure.

"Right," replied Mr. Tama. "The girl is very interesting. If you marry him to Johan, I'm sure, our business empire can grow rapidly following the positive trend of wong group."

Johan snorted, even though the woman was as beautiful as Stevie. In his eyes was only Dinda. There is no substitute for it. Even as beautiful as Miss Universe, Johan could not turn away from Dinda's friendly face.

"Why not wrong?" ledek Johan's. "Last time we made trouble with the son of the wong group at my engagement event. Then Papa intends to match me with his daughter? Are you sure the rich family is willing to accept Papa's good faith." Johan will be satisfied if Steve's family rejects his father's proposal. No need to defend your father. Enough to make him give up on matching himself with a woman here and there, is a blessing in itself for Johan.

"It's also Pa, what Johan said. What if the conglomerate's family rejects a proposal from the Tama group. It would humiliate our family." Only Madame Diah always said the same with Johan. His thoughts were not far from the thoughts of the son.

"There is no such thing as giving up" Tama replied to the two. "As long as the door to friendship is still wide, Papa will keep trying to get the super rich family to accept this proposal."

The old man's face seemed to be overjoyed with his crazy idea.

Johan who heard it was already a bit horrified. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Steve's family would accept him.

Johan imagined himself like in a soap opera that grooved quite strange. In her shadow, she is married to Stevie, but secretly she wants to get close to Dinda, her former lover.

Destroying his second marriage through his evil intentions, and thus Johan can take full control of Dinda. In Johan's mind that crossed only that, there was nothing else.

When Steve finds out the bad idea, Johan will be beaten to death. Then the man began his cruel act. Throwing himself off the top of a tall building. Just imagine Johan was shuddering in horror, especially if it really happened.

"Do not think about it carefully, Papa" Johan back act. "Think about. Our family is not comparable to that wealthy family. We will be insulted. Moreover, they are from China, do not understand our culture."

"Although they are Chinese, but the man's wife is a native Indonesian woman. There will be no culture shock later." There's a question, there's an answer. That was what Johan faced whenever he voiced his idea.

"Papa mean, the wong group boys are crosses? Huh-do you?" Lady Diana had honestly just found out about this incident. At one time, Steve was only a Chinese man who had long settled in Indonesia, but the reality actually made him stunned. A family full of secrets.

"Mister wong's wife used to be an employee of the wong Group. You could say he was the company secretary. Don't know why, like the ones in the movies, he married his own secretary" Tama told reporters. "Given Papa, the mother of the children was on campus with Papa. Although different courses of study, Papa also not very familiar with it. Can say one force. But, since Papa doesn't like to pry into his past, Papa doesn't really know the woman." Mr. Tama explained, although he remembered the story of his lecture, honestly Steve's mother was indeed a prima donna on campus.

Johan became a connoisseur of his father's conversation. He was a bit tired of hearing those words coming out of his mouth, so he interrupted their conversation. "Johan wants to take a shower first, Papa and Mama continue the conversation," he said passed.

Gather all the women you want to mate with, Pa. There is no one I would like your choice.

On the stairs leading to his room, Johan grumbled softly. Most importantly, Vanya was no longer a hindrance to him.

****

That night, Dinda's house was a little noisy. His mother nagged her sisters for coming home post-Maghrib. His mother believed in things that were not good after this reverberating azan. Therefore, it felt bad for Mother Yuri when her two sons came home late.

Dinda headed for the kitchen, enjoying her babble, Dinda opened the freezer. Looking for a cold drink, even though the mother nagged, Dinda remained in her activities.

But Dinda was shocked when she saw the contents of the refrigerator - it was empty. "No, there's no contents like this, ma'am, the fridge?" ask Dinda astonishment. From top to bottom, all empty. Bread, milk, juice, fruit, vegetables, even snacks that usually fill here the cooler is empty.

"Mom forgot to tell you earlier. If our basic needs are exhausted, then empty." Yuri's mother who was nagging while sewing clothes in the family room, answered Dinda ordinary, not splashy.

"Ck," Dinda clicked, somewhat astonished. Why did his mother not say anything to him, when he thought he could go home quickly if his mother asked to be accompanied to go to a supermarket or modern market. Dinda approached her mother, then sat right next to her mother who focused on sewing. "If you knew that, Dinda should have gone home early to be able to shop."

Yuri's mother stopped briefly sewing her clothes, she glanced at Dinda who was stuck on her shoulder. "Yah's habits. Likes to stick to his mother's body." Yuri's mother gently nosed Dinda, her great daughter was adorable.

Miko, who was hiding in her room because of her scolding in her mother's omelette, suddenly jumped. Right in front of her Mother and Sister, she looked spirited.

"We go to the mall just yuk kak," he asked Dinda. "It's still six in seven minutes."

Dinda turned her head towards her mother, actually Miko's idea was good. Moreover, the Mall is still open, it must be exciting to think if you invite the mother to shop in a large mall. "Where's Mom? Want to shop at the mall?" Dinda asks for advice, Ms. Yuri's permission is more important than nothing.

Mother Yuri weighed. He cannot refuse. Moreover, twenty-four hours are always at home, watching tv and taking care of the things that he does every day. Surely bored if occasionally not refreshing. Yuri's mother agreed to the offer of her children, she followed the will of both. Mother Yuri nodded in agreement. "But I change clothes first, let's not be shy."

"But don't be long, ma'am," replied Dinda impatiently. "Later to close the mall."

Niko who was also secretly lazy to hear the mother nagging him earlier, heard the plan of the three. He walked out of the room, not wanting to miss on this idea. "I'm coming, '" he said. "You almost forgot me."

"He's a troublemaker" said Miko. "Not come along. You just ruin it later."

"Sir Miko always won't if I come with you guys everywhere. What is my fault. Has the oxtail always been the center of frustration?" Niko's sensitive. He has lately been easily provoked and even angry.

Understandably, thought Niko, as the last child she became the center of bestowing mistakes and resentment. This is one of the youngest children, he sulked.

Dinda just shook her head, dizzy to see the two who were already big, still fighting.

Yuri's mother who came out using a robe, broke up the two. "You guys don't stop fighting."

"Sister Miko started first, ma'am!" Niko complains. "He won't let me come with you guys away."

"Miko." Yuri's mother knows that Miko keeps on acting. "As a brother, you must act in surrender. Don't keep mocking your sister. I won't stop nagging if you keep fighting."

Miko rolled her eyes. He was only joking, but his sister complained. "Yes. Brother lamented, will not repeat the act as before. Even if I had to," Miko jutek. That joke shouldn't be a thing.

"Already! It's already! If you continue to fight, the mall will close" Mother Yuri reminded. He pointed at the clock on the wall their time was not much. "Let's go now."

In the end, they went to the mall. No one lives in the house. These four people surrounded the mall, looking for the necessary ingredients.

Miko and Niko became the drivers of shopping trolleys. Following his Mother and Sister around the tree shelves.

Shopping time is long. Perhaps tired, Niko took the initiative to buy her sister and mother ice cream. Well, the calculations treat the meal payday last month.

"Has everything been brought?" the four walked out of the mall. They passed through some branded shops.

Mother Yuri recalled, what kitchen needs she had forgotten. Thinking hard looking for something to buy, apparently in the mind of Mother Yuri has been bought all. "Mom don't think there is any more" he said with certainty.

"If no one wants to buy again, we just go home" said Dinda.

Because no one else wanted to buy, they decided to go home. It's getting late, the mall will also be closed.

In the middle of the escalator. Yuri's mother suddenly noticed something strange on the billboard of the shoe store she had just seen.

Yuri's mother squinted her eyes, looking closely at the image of the teenager in the electronic advertisement.

"Wait a minute!" Yuri's mother asked. Being so curious about the electronic billboard in front of her, Mother Yuri approached her. "Didn't the child inside this thing look like Miko?" she told Dinda and her two twins.

Well, I'm dead. Miko was confused, why the mother had to see the billboard that shone brightly. There was his face there, full body.

"Ah... Anu's... Ma'am," Dinda was confused as to what to say. His mother knew, not knowing what would happen.

In it Miko, she is convinced that the child she saw on the electronic billboard was her son.
