Hi again tasneemspring,

Another case of metaphorical speaking.

You make a scene when you lose your temper for any reason, behaving disrespectfully, contemptuously, violently, rudely, boorishly or impolitely with others.

Synonyms:

Fly into a rage.

Fly off the handle.

Throw a fit.

Go mad.

Blow your top.

See red.

Explode.

Lose your rag.

Lose it.

Hit the roof.

(And others).


Regards,

José Manuel Rosón Bravo

صباح الخير
The exclamation suggests that it could be: making a row/scandal/scene,
or, colloquial:to kick up a row.
By the way, what is the context?
الىاللقاء
