"No, I don't want to.. Even though it's still afternoon, a promise is a promise. You have to keep it".

Aruna really stepped back and put that suitcase on the wall. When her husband stared at her more closely, he walked as if he got closer.

Turned out, Hendra closed the door that hadn't been closed perfectly before.

"This is your father's house, we can't fight here. My mood is bad, so please be good or else I'll be really angry".

"Why are you always like this, always wants to win? Even my simple wish like that is hard to fulfill". Aruna couldn't stand it.

"It's not about win or lose, but we have to go home as soon as possible". Hendra voiced his command consistently.

"You'll lock me up again, right?? You'll lock me up there and go home at night, ask for my hug, what kind of man are you?!". This girl had been treated the same way for a week. She used to be free and suddenly she was like a prisoner. She was getting fed up.

"Remember, Aruna. We can't fight here. It's your father's house. I'm not sure this room is soundproof like our room at the main house".

Aruna couldn't reply to him. That girl didn't have an ability to look bad, moreover make her family worry.

Her voice lowered and she asked Mahendra, held both of his husband's hands : "I beg you. Give me a chance to spend one more night here. Wasn't I already so kind to obey all the MoU that we made? I even gave you a kiss that you need just like our agreement at the 21st point".

_What??_

Mahendra closed his eyes for a moment, his heart began to be upset, really upset.

Last night's kiss that he thought was an early chance to open the heart of the girl in front of him, it turned out to be a form of compliance. This girl was really consistent that she would only obey the MoU that they made.

'I'll obey the contents of the contract that we've made'. This sentence used to make him steal Aruna's first kiss.

'Kiss when needed' and this point made him confuse in guessing Aruna's behavior at that time. He thought Aruna was pulling himself to prove her courage, as if that girl would kiss him. Turned out she was only giving his platinum card back. (Chapter 26)

Turned out, the same thing happened again today. He was wrong in guessing Aruna's behavior again. Last night's amazing kiss was only a form of her compliance with the contract that they made.

That man harshly let go both of Aruna's hands that were holding his hands softly.

'Gave you a kiss that you need like our agreement at the 21st point'. It was quite painful for someone who was really hopeful.

"Step aside! You have to go out of this room, I'm really messed up".

Aruna frowned, Hendra's expression immediately changed.

"Hendra, what's going on with you?".

"Get out!". Hendra pulled her hands. He really asked that girl to disappear from his face.

"Now!!". He snapped.

Lesmana's daughter stepped away and the door was closed harshly, tightly.

He sat for a moment. Aruna was still knocking on her door. Meanwhile, the man tried to search his trouser pocket where he kept his sedative.

"Hendra.. Please open the door.. Hendra!".

"I just want to stay here one more night. Think of it as my birthday present".

_Birthday? Whose birthday? Aruna's birthday?_

He forgot that tonight was the day when his wife turned 20 years old. Hendra didn't really care about birthday. He never celebrated it.

And he didn't know when Aruna's birthday was. He called his secretary, asked him to prepare something in a hurry.

And the lousy man started typing a keyword on Google and chose the article 'the most wanted birthday gift that wife wants'.

_Ah. I don't know, I'll just send it to Surya_

*Damn, your request really gives me goosebumps?. An incoming text on Surya's handphone from his secretary, Surya.

*Just do it. Don't complain too much.

*Which room?

*Aruna's room at Mr. Lesmana's house, is it possible?? She doesn't want to go home (Hendra)

*How am I gonna bring the property? If it has to be the same with this article, it's clearly impossible?

*Okay then, in our room. I'll force her to go back to the main house.

"Hey tiny! What's going on?".

"Why are you knocking on your own room door?".

Anantha's voice heard from inside the room. Hendra was a little doubt, but he needed to come out soon or Aruna's sibling would sense about this fight and it'd become more messed up.

"Eh. I was just calling Hen..".

"Yes, Honey.. I was in the bathroom. I didn't really hear your voice". The blue-eyed suddenly open the door and talked using the opposite language.

Anantha stared at him thoroughly. Hendra immediately reached Aruna and slipped that tiny girl inside the room.

Aruna's older brother was still looking at Hendra cautiously, full of threats.

"Okay.. We'll stay here, but only until dinner. After that, we'll go back to the main house". Hendra conveyed his unwavering order after they were inside the room and began to freeze into each other's silence.

Aruna didn't answer anymore. That girl was too tired to beg to Hendra.

"Don't worry. Starting from tomorrow, you'll come with me to the office. Honestly, I have no intention to lock you up. I just want you to be safe".

Aruna still fell silent. That man came closer to her.

"I have a special gift for you, but we have to go home since that gift is waiting in our room". Hendra talked to his wife softly.

"Why is it so expensive just to stay here for a night?". That girl's resigned voice sounded heartbreaking.

"We can stay here whenever we want, but for now, just follow what I want".

The blue-eyed got closer, moved a few strands of hair, and landed his lips on Lesmana's daughter's cheek.

_I'm like a doll, really treated like a doll_

"Ms.. Aruna.. Anantha asked for you". Now, her older brother didn't dare to knock on Aruna's room door anymore. He asked the household assistant to call Aruna.

That girl swiftly came out to fulfill her older brother's call. Turned out, her older brother was accepting a guest, a man that looked younger than her older brother.

"Hey, Aruna.. This is Gibran. He just came back from abroad".

Aruna was a bit confused when her older brother asked them to handshake.

"Gibran is my business partner. He takes part in improving the service system in the application that I develop".

"Ah right. Gibran is interested in your start-up too".

"Maybe you can talk for a while to understand a few things that you can develop together".

Anantha talked too much, explaining to her new friend. He even told that Gibran invested in his company.

The oldest sibling who spent a lot of time and energy to build his own company, all-out, since he graduated from the university. He was the first one who caught suspicion towards the condition of his family, bound by Wenceslas. At the end of this year, his company developed quite promising.

Anantha said that these past 4 months, Gibran played an important role so that the service and profit increased rapidly. Especially because of the capital injection from Gibran's family.

Gibran and Aruna only smiled seeing Anantha who looked so excited.

"What can I say?? Magic Letter is too small compared to his company. We're just a group of youths who sell products online on social media, including on website".

"The website is only managed by one person. Pretty simple, right? Even though it's developed massively, we don't have any courage yet. We're lacking of staff".

Gibran smiled listening to every sentence that was said by Aruna. Aruna felt that his smile was almost similar to someone, his husband to be exact.

"It's okay. I'm just curious. Your older brother always speaks a lot about you. Especially your track record as Magic Letter's founder. I heard it came from a unique, original idea".

"Looks like he's just too exaggerating".

"Do you really provide love letter making service, even trinkets to express affection??". Gibran asked.

"Haha. Yeah. We almost shut it down at that time, then one of our team had a unique idea. He makes it really desirable even until now".

"Including heartbreak letters that make other designs and trinkets are ogled by customers too in the end".

"Really?? You're the project designer alone?". A question that actually didn't need to be answered, since the questioner already knew the answer.

"For now, yeah. But in fact, we just recruited another project designer".

"Can I go there someday?".

"Of course, please do".

"How?? You're interested, right??". This time, Anantha was the one who talked, asking Gibran a question.

"How?? You're interested, right??". This time, Anantha was the one who talked, asking Gibran a question

"Yeah, really interesting".
