"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.

"I'll let you go if I can kiss you. I need it for my breakfast". He was still holding onto Aruna's stomach tightly. Even though the girl kept moving, trying to release herself.

​​

"You perverted man! You are terrible!!" Aruna shrieked. But Hendra didn't care.

"I should be the one who is angry! Why are you the one who caught me!" (Aruna)

"This is the natural rule. The predator is always stronger than the prey."

"So you are a predator?"

"Yes! I'm a lion and you are a little rabbit!"

"What kind of analogy is that?!"

"This is a plausible analogy! So there are no little bunny dares to threaten the lion! Do you understand now why you get caught?! Hehe."

And the little rabbit was still moving around, trying to release herself from the lion's grip.

.

"Ah, I'm tired. Let's see until when you give up…" The crazy CEO was holding her close, letting his girl tire herself from fighting back.

"That's why you should be an obedient wife, don't fight against your husband. Hehe." Hendra smiled and started kissing his wife's shoulder.

"Hendra, I haven't showered". Aruna refused. She was still in her husband's lap.

"Even though you haven't showered for 3 days, I still want you ... as long as it's you."

"You are overreacting."

"Do you want to try?"

"No ... I can't even stand my own body odor."This girl was still trying to escape when Hendra started kissing her cheek.

"What can I give to you to release me.. anything other than a kiss on the lips .. I'm not in the mood .. can I say my wish?" Aruna slowly began to voice her heart. Since she was acquainted with the blue eyed man, she rarely voiced her request to Mahendra.

Except when she tried to deny, protest, get angry and what hurts Hendra the most, rejection. The two of them rarely spoke heart to heart. The communication between this couple is dominated with the man's selfishness because his personality tends to be logical and book smart. Hendra has difficulty communicating personally because he doesn't have many social opportunities like most people.

Meanwhile, the woman is a girl who is good at hiding her heart tightly. Not many can understand her, she kept it to herself. And instead, she shows a bright, cheerful smile and warm attitudes to everyone.

"Of course .. you can say any wish. Unless, your wish is to refuse me."

"I won't let you say that." Hendra is still trying to kiss her cheek.

"Why?"

"Of course, because I like you ..."

"Liking something doesn't mean you have to have it. You can like an item but you don't have to buy it, right?"

"It's maybe the case for someone else, but not for the heir of Wenceslas. Everything I want will be mine."

"How cocky..."

"Haha .. do you want proof of how powerful the Wenceslas heir is?"

Aruna only frowns, she does not understand Mahendra's words.

"Hehe .. I will let you go, if you give me a kiss on the cheeks?" Hendra offers while smiling. He is testing how much he could possibly get from Aruna.

"Do I really have to?" Aruna looks hesitant.

"You can't fight me .. you can try, though .." The blue-eyed man strengthens his grip on her.

"Fine .. fine .. let me."

"Aaah .. you will run away if I let you go."

"even if I run, I'm sure you can catch me back." And suddenly a tiny hand touches the cheek of the blue-eyed man. Their eyes meet. This girl uses both hands to cup Hendra's cheeks.

Hendra kisses her hand.

But the next thing he sees is that she is looking down then plants a forced quick kiss on his right cheek.

_Why? Why is it still like this? _

"I said cheeks, so I have to get a kiss on both... not one." The blue eyed man requests again, curious about her expression and the soul hidden behind a reluctant face.

"Muah." Slower and calmer. Not as reluctant as the first kiss. But she is still looking down like she doesn't want to see Mahendra.

"See, I got my wish fulfilled, right?" The man breaks the silence between them.

_But you still feel forced, it's okay .. we can go slowly_

"I can go?"

The man finally gives up. And the girl runs quickly to hide in the bathroom.

"Miss, what are you doing alone here?" A man wearing black shirt and jeans approaches Aruna. This girl is walking casually while enjoying the beauty of the lake belonging to the Wenceslas family. She is entertaining herself because Hendra doesn't allow her to go to work.

Aruna just replies to the young man with a smile.

"Are you a bodyguard?" He is wearing clothes similar to Hendra's bodyguards. But he is wearing branded sneakers. It makes her wonder how much the Wenceslas's staff salary is.

"Hehe yes .. I'm new here.. I just passed the recruitment." Aruna just realizes that he has dimples.

"Are you Miss Aruna?"

"You are still very new, huh? You don't even know my name."

"Yes, I still have to go through one month of training .. Back then, I wasn't assigned at the main house .. so I only knew you from the photos and stories from the other bodyguards." This person seems relaxed, unlike the other bodyguards, who tend to keep their distance to Aruna. They even take a few steps back if Aruna gets close. It seems that there is a rule that the allowed closest distance between the bodyguards and the wife of the Wenceslas's heir is 5 to 3 steps, unless forced to do so.

When Aruna goes down the stairs, they will maintain 2 steps distance in front and behind this young lady.

But the bodyguard she has just met stands relaxedly accompanying Aruna to stare at the lake. He's a little different.

"You may know .. what kind of person I am in the eyes of Mr. Hendra's bodyguards. It must be terrible, huh ..". Aruna knows that she has been caught with another man.

"Not really .. they say you are funny and very important."

"Funny?"

"Yeah .. you like to buy snacks for the bodyguards and show off to the young master because he can not eat the snacks."

"Haha .. I see .. is there more?!"

"You used to be so cheerful and full of smiles, but now you are more calm and quiet." He adds.

The bodyguard who seems to be around Aruna's age, dares to steal a look at her face.

"It's true when they say you are not so beautiful .. but you are attractive".

"Wow .. you dare to openly mock me."

"Don't be angry .. I said you are attractive, right?"

"What is your name?"

"You can call me Juan. I just finished college, majoring in business management."

"Why did you apply to be a bodyguard?"

_________________

Aruna's character is a character of someone I meet in real life. I used to have a friend who is very cheerful, warm and full of laughter.

But if you take a look at her closely, she isn't the same as what others see. She has the ability to socialize well and can manage her emotions well. So no one knows if she is in trouble, sad, angry or disappointed.

When I was growing up, I encountered this kind of person a lot. They might be a fun and cheerful person. Even though they have a very complicated problem behind their smiles.

They are not visually beautiful or handsome. But they are able to steal many people's hearts and attention.

I was stunned. And I admit that I am interested to know more about their ability to organize their personal emotions.

Because the author is really moody. Everyone will know when I am angry. What's more, when the deadline is near, my face really asks for a beating. Hahaha
