"Aruna, where is your phone?" Damar was curious.

There was an incoming call on his phone, but the call was in the name of 'Reddish Hue.'

​​

"Eh, where is that??"

"Oo... I left it at the outlet. I didn't even bring anything. I didn't even have a wallet. I thought I would just meet you in front."

"Send my friends Whatsapp messages. Tell them I'm with you." Aruna requested.

"Yes, yes ok." Damar immediately set the silent mode on his phone.

There were five incoming calls from Aruna's phone number.

Damar ignored it.

Somehow, the man was quite understanding by sending a photo of Aruna enjoying a meal to Dea.

She wrote a message asking if Aruna was with you (Damar).

***

"Erm... Mr Surya I think Aruna is safe." Dea seemed to approach Aruna's future husband's secretary carefully.

Meanwhile, Hendra looked chaotic, with a horrible surly face.

He was annoyed, calling Damar's number over and over with Aruna's phone.

The workspace on the 2nd floor of the Magic Letter outlet became tense after Aruna's phone discovery.

Forty-five minutes earlier, several bodyguards came in and carried out checks. Although trying to be very polite, their presence made Aruna's friends shudder.

Wasn't it disappearing for a moment or playing for a while was a common activity for young people nowadays?

They were maybe boring, then ate well in the cafe, or it was hanging out looking for a new atmosphere, including other common activities.

Aruna's friends were a little confused as to why everything seemed so serious and fidgety.

The Wenceslas Group's CEO reportedly left an important meeting because of a short message telling him that Aruna's phone was found.

Agus, Lili, Tito and Laras looked at each other. They were even intrigued to chat back.

*They are too overly watching Aruna. (Lili)

*Poor Aruna. (Laras)

*It's not over watching, but it's possessive. (Agus)

*What if they get married? A husband who restrains his wife! (Lili)

*I think Aruna will become a housewife. (Tito)

*Your youth is not as beautiful as mine. (Agus)

*That is... the title of Indosi*r FTV, Gus. (Lili)

*Haha, Agus is funny. (Laras)

*What if the title, A fierce CEO restrains his young wife. (Tito)

*Kwkwkk.. You're crazy Ndro. (Agus)

The chats made them laugh while amusedly glancing at each other.

In contrast to Dea, she was getting nervous when she found out that Aruna was with Damar, while the girl who was the source of the uproar was so engrossed in enjoying her food.

If the CEO had known how Damar was going after Aruna, he would have been outraged.

Dea didn't understand that the CEO had known a lot of things from the start.

Surya was whispering to Hendra, asking Dea to send the photo to him, then he forwarded it to Hendra's number.

"I'm sorry. I bothered you all." Hendra looked down for a moment, followed by Surya before saying goodbye to leave Aruna's friends.

*Take care of mine. Remember, a borrower must return his loan in good condition as before.

Damar was shocked to read the short message from 'Reddish Hue.'

He felt strange about that guy's point of view.

How can he position himself as the owner, and of course, Aruna was indirectly his favourite item?

Damar's eyes saw that little girl in front of him was shining pleasantly. She was like a half soul who painted him.

This situation was really unfair for him.

How could he forget the long journey that he has gone through with Aruna?

He wanted to go, desperately wanted it. If only he could, if only...

Unfortunately, this irrelevance was worse every time Damar remembered where the owner of his heart was going.

That man didn't deserve her.

Even though Damar wasn't a perfect man, at least he always had a way to make Aruna happy.

She made his smile hopelessly because the feeling of happiness in Aruna's heart was a sense of joy for him.

Damar has melted. He had completely fallen for her.

He had given up fighting his feelings.

The young man had once disappeared into silence, desperately forgetting about Aruna. But, what he found was he was getting crazy.

So, he let things run like this, until one of him or Aruna's husband gave up.

Two years was not a short time. But for young people who have just turned 20 years old, two years felt like an oasis that had been visited on a long journey through the endless desert.

Damar would endure.

As long as Aruna needed a place to lean on and a brace to hold her shoulders, he wouldn't tire of waiting until the girl indeed chose without the shackles of her parents' covenant.

Even though later it turned out that the reddish hue chose to leave him, Damar wouldn't regret it because he had already tried.

"Who cleaned this?"

"Let's play rock, paper, scissors...." Damar raised his hand to get ready for it.

"No... no... I will definitely lose your play." Aruna protested.

"Let's do it!" Damar exclaimed.

"Game!" Aruna quickly scrambled the game sticks.

"Football huh?..." Damar asked.

"Nope, you'll win."

"Racing car?"

"Gran Turismo 4 (GT4)." Aruna gave an idea.

"Fine.. nothing beats my skill in playing games." Damar boasted.

"Seriously?! For racing cars, we are balanced fighters." Aruna scoffed.

"Don't take that car, Damar. It's my favorite car."

"Ok, I'll just choose yellow then. It's more cute."

For a long time, the two of them were too busy playing games, sometimes taunting at one another that disturbed their concentration.

"Damar, do you want to be number 1?" Aruna joked at him.

"You lose then!"

"Nope.. What I mean is to be number 1 in our family card later."

"Weh..?! What?" Damar was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, you make me fall behind... Damn!"

Damar just realized that Aruna was bothering him on purpose.

"Concentrate, man ... Hahaha." Aruna laughed out loud, finally catching up and overtaking Damar's car.

"Box, what box is so painful ?!" Damar replied.

"What?"

"A box of my feelings to you but you didn't realise that I still like you all this time." Damar replied.

"Ah, it's cliche. I've often heard those sweet words."

"Wait.. Wait..." Damar boosted up his skills.

"What's the difference between 28 and 29 October??" Damar asked a question.

"What? If it's not funny, I'll slap you."

"October 28 is youth pledge."

"October 29 is..."

Aruna didn't realise that Damar approached her.

"I swear I love you." The eccentric young man whispered right in Aruna's ear.

It made the girl stutter and pushed Damar's body.

"Ha.. Ha.. ha..." Damar laughed out loud when he saw Aruna's car hit the wall.

Aruna threw away her stick in anger because she had to lose by cheating.

"Hey... cranky. Don't be angry, I'll help you."

What he meant was helping Aruna by washing dishes and tidying up.

"Get out of my way. I can do it myself." Aruna was annoyed and prestigious to get help.

"I really don't need your help."

Damar still persevered in helping her.

"Damar, my hands are wet." Aruna's hands were covered in soap when the ribbon of her hair began to gurgle.

"Please tidy up my hair!"

"Yes, madam!"

In the past, they and their friends in the Magic Letter were used to fun things like this.

Working and playing together for more than two years made them no longer just friendship.

They were just like a family.

"Aruna, your clothes are all wet."

"Yes.. My armpits smell bad." Aruna added.

"Hehe.. I didn't say that..."

"I want to take a shower before going home.. can I?" Aruna asked.

She was getting uncomfortable with the sticky sweat on her body.

"Follow me!" Damar climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor.

"Waaah..."

Aruna was stunned by a large room that functioned as an open room with various types of musical instruments neatly arranged there, including a desk equipped with a computer set and electronic music.

"Cool... You really change your way to be a musician than a writer?" Aruna asked.

"I'm still learning..." Damar explained.

"That's why it takes a lot of tools to practice."

"Aruna, look here.. There's something cooler.. You will like it."

Aruna followed Damar's request.

On the left side of the open bed, there was a long, towering curtain.

When Damar opened it, the beach and ocean stretch was captured entirely from the glass walls of Damar's house's 2nd floor.

Aruna clinged to the glass wall as she was mesmerized.

"I immediately signed the advertising contract after knowing they would give this house to me."

"What kind of advertisement?"

"Deodorant." Damar hesitated to mention it.

"Ha ha ha." Aruna laughed out loud.

"Take a shower there! Your armpits need deodorant." Damar was annoyed at being laughed at.

The young man pushed Aruna's body into the door beside the room.

"Use this deodorant... Taa-daa then your armpits will smell good."

"Ha ha ha." Aruna mocked him again.

"Hais, damn. Take a shower there!"

"Don't be angry... Where's my change of clothes? And the towel?"

"Ting tong... Ting tong..." The sound of the doorbell rang.

"Take it yourself! The door on the right is a display of my clothes."

"The towel is already in the bathroom."

Damar ran down to see who the guest was. He was a little suspicious. Only Pandu and their driver knew about his new home.

Meanwhile, both of them were in trouble because Damar ran away.

Websites on the internet said that Danu Umar was sick, so he couldn't attend today's fan meeting.

Pandu should still be the shield interviewed at the event, including being hunted down by journalists.

***

Someone was tapping his finger, showing a gesture that he couldn't stand the wait anymore.

The man behind Bentley's car looked gloomy and eerie, waiting for the doorbell that his guard pressed to be welcomed by the house owner.
