The man replies the warm hug by stroking and kissing her hair a few times.

"I'll take a shower first ..."

​​

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Go back to sleep, it's already early in the morning and you haven't slept!"

"That's not my question. You don't want to answer, so that means you really haven't eaten, right?" This petite girl doesn't ask anymore questions. Instead, she opens the bedroom door and runs to the pantry.

When Hendra comes out of the bathroom, several dishes have already been prepared near the sofa with his wife sitting there.

"Actually, I'm not in the mood to eat, I want to rest right away." But he couldn't brush off his wife's hand. Hendra sits down resignedly.

Aruna puts on a warm smile, handing the spoon into Hendra's hand. The man knows this girl is trying to comfort him. And it's very cute for him who is used to being alone. In the past, he had to face the threats and resolve them by himself. And the night would end by him lying and sleeping alone.

This time the atmosphere is different, he has someone to smile at him and force him to eat.

The one who has nearly lost his life. Instead, cornered is in a position of being forced to eat. As if he is given the most effective medicine. .

.

"What are you thinking about? Why do you keep staring at me? Look at me okay .. don't think too much. Now close your eyes! It's time to rest."

_ What is your life like? Now who's mysterious? _ Aruna couldn't stop thinking.

"Tak!" Hendra flicks Aruna's forehead with his finger.

"Au .. it hurts ..". Aruna complains.

"Your brain works too much. I have told you to sleep but here you are, still thinking hard."

Mahendra hugs Aruna from the side and looks for her pulse.

"You want to sleep on my arm?"

"As far as I know .. Every time I wake up my position is always inside your arm?"

"Yes, it's my favorite place to hold you every night .. you want to give it for free to me today .. so I don't have to wait for you to sleep and hug you quietly."

This girl is still thinking.

But in the end, she agrees anyway.

Placing herself in Hendra's arms and touching the man's chest with her tiny hands, hesitating.

Hendra kisses her forehead a few times, he is too happy.

_I want to live longer, maybe she will wait for me every night_

Hendra glances at the girl, her eyes are already closed. That's very fast. Surely, she was tired from waiting for a long time. So pretty .. that's what is crossed on his mind. This petite girl curls up beside his body.

_Are you dreaming, Mahendra? What did you do to deserve this happiness?_

He begins to tilt his body, brushes away some hair from Aruna's face and approaches her. Fragrant, closed, and full of life. This man suddenly misses those lips. Last night he enjoyed it in an argument. Maybe today will be different.

His logic slowly goes away the more he looks at the red lips. The most alluring attraction. Unconsciously, he touches her lips softly, as not to wake her up. Again and again. Stealing Aruna's lips is the craziest activity that he loves every time.

"Love you .. Love you, darling .."

"Hahaha .. don't worry, I can use my hand again in one week. To be honest, I'm happy with this shot. It means that the parliament will be cornered and they will no longer disturb the development of the Dream City." Riswan stares at his hands with a smile, it's really scary. This man is lulled by his dream.

"Don't you want to know who has shot you?" Hendra is a little horrified to see the mayor enjoying the event.

"I have lived and worked under the Wenceslas Construction, I took a lot of part in renovating your basement floors. I knew exactly why Mister Wiryo built it. So there is no need for further explanation." Riswan pats Hendra's arm and gives him a strange smile for someone who has gotten away from a gunshot once again.

"Don't look at me like that." Riswan says.

"You look like someone who has OCD."

"You're wrong. I'm not that bad. But I'm obsessed with making this city a dream place for everyone, a reference for all the regional leaders. Their base mark in building a city .. So it's natural that I have such big ambitions."

"Whatever, I don't really care."

"You know, my popularity has skyrocketed, everyone is also interested and discussing the Dream City. They even study the models and development systems that we design, and many people are curious to see our work."

"Isn't that amazing? Everything is going smoothly. Even if you have to be shot, it doesn't matter." Riswan is talking about how amazing it is to be a wrong target, as if it is his life's greatest luck.

Hendra can't really understand what the person in front of him is thinking.

"Don't look at me as if I'm crazy. You are also lucked out, aren't you? When that person is found, you will know the mysterious group that always threatens the heir of Wenceslas?" Riswan says softly which earns him a glare from the blue-eyed man.

"He's dead." (Hendra)

"But the state intelligence won't keep silent. They will continue to hunt them, to find out who is the man behind the attack. Your team doesn't need to work hard. I'm telling the truth, right?" Hendra's eyes widened as he heard Riswan's words.

Who is this person? If he was a regular employee of the Wenceslas construction, there was no way he would have known this much about his family history, the D floor, and all things related to the Wenceslas.

"Who are you?" The grip on the mayor's collar tightens.

***

"Miss, what are you doing alone here?" A man in a black shirt and jeans approaches Aruna. The girl is walking casually while enjoying the beauty of the Wenceslas family's lake. She is entertaining himself because Hendra forbids her to follow him to work.

They argued for a long time this morning. Because Hendra broke his promise and Aruna needed to know that she has to stay safe.

They even debated in the bathroom, when this girl looked in the mirror. She still hadn't woken up properly and was brushing her teeth absentmindedly, with her hair disheveled and heavy eyes.

She squinted and rubbed the mirror.

"Hendra .. You're crazy .. What are you doing to my neck?!"

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Hendra .. open the door .. I'll kill you .. open it NOW!!"

"I'm pooping. Don't disturb me!"

"Damn .. you dared to leave marks on my neck."

Hehe. Behind their bathroom door, Hendra smiled as if asking for a hit. Yes .. he had tried not to leave a mark. But what can he do when he becomes addicted to Aruna's smell.

"Maybe it's mosquito bites."

"There's no mosquito that will leave a mark as big as these .. Seriously you .. Do you think that I'm stupid?!"

"Maybe a tomcat fell on your neck and bit you." The blue eyed man was saying nonsense.

"Yes .. I bet the tomcat has blue eyes." Aruna sounded irritated.

"Ha ha." Hendra laughs out loud.

After a long silence, he thought that Aruna had gone. He didn't know that she was still standing in front of the door, folding her arms threateningly.

She just barely reaches his shoulder. And her body can be hugged with only one hand, but she dares to threaten the man.

"Let me see the marks .."

"Plak!" She slapped Hendra's approaching harshly.

"Apologize right now!"

"You are my legal wife based on the laws. And the ridiculous law yesterday has not been passed. It means that it is legal for me to kiss my wife's neck." He was trying to defend his absurd logic.

"But you violated our rules. You are only allowed to kiss my lips based on point 21, the rest is not allowed. I can sue you. Because there is a stamp on it." Aruna didn't want to lose.

"Oh so I just can kiss your lips. I might have forgotten. Then so that I don't forget, I'd better taste your lips again." Hendra caught the girl who threatened him. It wasn't Hendra who was terrified, but Aruna.

"agrh .. get off me..." This girl managed to release herself by biting hard on Hendra's hand, ran out of the bathroom and closed the door from the outside, pushing the door to keep it closed.

She just realized that it was impossible, her strength wouldn't be enough to go against the blue eyed man. The door started to open and she ran as fast as she could.

"Argh .. Hendra what do you want? Go .. Go away.. GO!"

"Remember, don't run out of the room, or we'll bring a lot of trouble." The blue eyed man warned her.

The girl then ran in another direction, but it was easy for Wiryo's grandson to catch up with her.

"Argh .. let go of me ..". Aruna tried to release herself when her body was hugged from behind and she ended up on Hendra's lap, this man brought her to sit on the edge of the bed.
