Yashinta (My brother-in-law My love)

Mother's Dining Table

"Gue wants to be Kafka's girlfriend now."

"Huh?" Kafka spontaneously frowned at the statement of the girl who had rejected him hundreds of times.

"Why are you surprised?" ask Saras after seeing the reaction shown by Kafka.

"Loe's too sudden."

Afterwards, the two people simply fell silent with each other's gaze in one straight line. "So I can mutusin Yashinta?" tanya Kafka after quite a while. Saras shook his head.

"Before the time is up, you can't kill him."

Kafka smiled wryly. "I mean I cheated on Yashinta?" kafka asked, seeming to object. Last night he accused Yashinta of having an affair with Gibran.

Saras nodded his head, turning his attention in the other direction while Saras looked at the man, looking carefully at Kafka's face change.

Saras wanted to know if the man was willing to do it or not. Whether he could kill Yashinta or not. Is Kafka capable of hurting Yashinta in this way or not.

"Okay."

"From now on you'll be my girlfriend." Kafka replied after a long time. Enough to make Saras amazed, he did not even understand how the feeling system in Kafka's heart worked.

(Othor:Jingaan the Kafka!)

Gibran just stared at Yashinta's car which took the girl away, passing by and missing from his sight. He had expected something like this to happen, but his arrival was not in vain after Gibran could confirm directly if the girl's condition was fine.

At least his worry for Yashinta was reduced, even though he could not avoid the pain when even Yashinta did not show a smile for him.

***

"Gue was looking at Mas Gibran's car." said Saras, Yashinta who initially looked at the car window and noticed the speck of rain water turned with a look of wonder. "Oh, yeah? Yas did not see." the dust then turned its attention back to the original object.

Saras in his place just shrugged indifferently. He had clearly seen Gibran's car earlier and now he could guess how Yashinta felt.

Worryingly.

***

Gibran returned to his company after he confirmed Yashinta's condition after visiting his school. He spent all day at the office and went home because the Mother invited him to come.

Kafka's car was already in the garage when Gibran arrived, the time showed at half-seven p.m., and Gibran first saw his phone before leaving the car he parked in the courtyard.

The man sighed when he saw the message he sent to Yashinta from last night was still in a one-check state and even when Gibran ventured to press the phone icon, the girl's number could not be reached.

"Hay Mas." Mother immediately greeted when she found her eldest son arrived. Initially Gibran said that he would not come because he had a lot of work.

But Mother did not accept rejection and asked Gibran to keep coming, so inevitably Gibran left his job and obeyed the wishes of the Mother.

To be honest the reason he did not want to come was not just because of a lot of work, but because he was not ready to meet his sister, and Mother who realized it would not let it happen. As a parent, of course Mother must straighten out what happened last night between them. Between Gibran, Yashinta and Kafka.

"Hay Bun." Gibran said hello, he greeted the mother, landed a brief kiss on the cheek and then sat on one of the chairs. Dinner dishes with home-style cuisine at the dining table have been presented in full.

"Mas," Mother who was still busy with their housekeeper set the dining table calling.

"Yes Bun?"

"Mother may ask for help?"

"What do you want, Bun?" Gibran had risen from his seat and was ready to help the Mother even he immediately rolled up the arm of his shirt.

"Not." Mother prevents.

"Mother for help, call your sister. Take her to dinner together." ask Mommy without waiting for Gibran's approval and get busy with his work.

Gibran in his place did not protest, he immediately fulfilled the order of Mother to move to the main room and climb the steps of the stairs to the second floor where Kafka's room is located. Mother who saw that only looked at the back of her eldest son. That kid's a grown-up.

"Mas Gibran is the same Mas Kafka is not getting along well, Mom?" asked the Aunt, Mommy just smiled and nodded. "Regular, a small storm" said Mother then who made Aunt smile understand.

"Yes, baffles. I want to eat first, you also don't forget to eat."

At first glance Gibran can guess who is talking to Kafka, so make sure his sister finished talking to Yashinta by phone, Gibran then knocked on the door.

Kafka who was just about to come out of his room looked astonished to find Gibran's presence. "Why is Loe here?" Kafka doesn't seem to like it.

"Eat! I waited downstairs." Gibran ignored Kafka's words and left after delivering Mother's message. Kafka followed the man's footsteps.

It felt awkward to be behind Gibran with each other speechless. There were no jokes or small talk about their activities throughout the day as usual. Everything becomes different.

Mother who found the arrival of her two sons only looked at Kafka and Gibran alternately, but then invited the two men to sit down.

Both Gibran and Kafka knew there was something Mother wanted to talk to them about. Mommy never spoils the atmosphere at the dining table so that the two people are ready even before starting to eat because Mommy will talk later.

"Come, eat a lot." said Mother to Kafka and Gibran who ate in an awkward state–saling silent.

"Yes Mother." Gibran said before going back to eating. Followed by Kafka who also followed. "Yes, Mother."

The mother who had finished her meal was only watching her son, so it was certain that Gibran and Kafka had finished their meal. Mother seemed to be preparing to open her voice.

"How's it?" he asked, which made the two people confused.

"How does it feel to eat together with this kind of atmosphere?"

"Is it comfortable?" Mother clarifies the question. Kafka and Gibran exchanged glances then just cleared their throat.

"Mother is very uncomfortable, Mas, Ka." Mother looked at her two sons in turn.

"When did you know Yashinta?" ask Mommy.

"Since one month ago Mother."

"Mother understand, you don't know that Yashinta is your sister's boyfriend and your sister also doesn't seem to know Yashinta knows you."

"You and Yashinta are too new to be open to each other about family, until Yashinta does not realize that you are Kafka's older brother. That so?" Mother expressed her speculation. Gibran just nodded.

"Mother hope you don't need to make a fuss rich gini. Mommy doesn't like to squirm you Cold War. Diem-dieman rich stranger." protest Mother. For a while, Mother sighed and paused her sentence, then continued.

"You and Yashinta have nothing to do?" ask Mommy. This time Gibran seemed silent. Making Mother squint with suspicious highlight.

"Mas, don't say–"

"Gibran himself said–"

"Belca!" Mother looked at Kafka as her youngest son interjected and was disrespectful to Gibran. Make the man change his words. "Mas Gibran said to himself that he likes Yashinta."

Mother looked dumbfounded. He should have expected this when Gibran said that his eldest son would introduce him to someone. He should have realized that the look in Gibran's eyes was full of love and happiness when he would meet Yashinta.

"Mas Gibran has no feelings Mother she–"

"Kafka, if Mas you don't have feelings he might not fall in love with Yashinta." Mother interrupted with a look of a face that looked still dumbfounded.

"Mother." Kafka protested and was visibly frustrated by her mother's statement.

"Whose side is this mama on, anyway?" kafka asked then with a tangled look. While Gibran looked ordinary and looked at his mother, waiting for an answer to Kafka's question.

"Mother is on the winning side." Mother answered without consideration. Making Kafka and Gibran look at him with a frown on their foreheads.

"Whoever of you wins, Yashinta will still be Mother's daughter-in-law." continued Mother who then rose from her seat. Gibran smiled faintly, as if given a green light. While Kafka bent his face, his position was threatened.

Mother knows the character of her two sons. He will not side with anyone and only believe if Gibran with Kafka is able to do the best for themselves.

Mother feels quite sure the two people will not physically hurt each other. But the matter of the heart .., surely there will be injured there must be someone who is hurt.

That can't be avoided.
