"You know we can't blame your grandfather. After all, we couldn't be like we are now without his help."

"Maybe you hated it because you were educated much harder, while we can pursue our interests or talents. I chose to be an architect and got the opportunity to study abroad same as his official grandson. He provides the same facilities."

​​

"So that's why you know so much about my family." Hendra tries to find a common thread in this heartbreaking conversation.

"Only selected children are allowed to know more about the family." Riswan's eyes wander again.

"That means you were one of the chosen children .. did you also used to work on the D floor?" Hendra is getting more and more curious.

"I'm more than that .. I'm your stuntman."

"What do you mean?" Blue eyes man moves closer, shackled by the curiosity that swelled up in his chest.

"My stuntman?"

"Hehe .. I was originally prepared to be the next successor before your mommy got married and had a son. Because your mommy grew up being spoilt. No one was sure she could become the 5th generation heir of Wenceslas".

"When they knew that you existed, the council turned into enemies because they lost against the official heir, I was here to deceive them."

"So you are the adopted son of Grandpa Wiryo, who is prepared to become the president director to replace him?"

"Yup. You already understand."

"But why did you leave the Wenceslas Construction 4 years ago?"

"Because my task has ended .."

"You are growing very rapidly. In the first year of your leadership, your grandfather immediately believed you could replace him."

"That's why I resigned and asked your grandfather to support my dream to build SFI (Sanitation For Indonesia). It's my simple dream to provide and educate people about the provision of clean water. In fact, the program brought me to reach this mayor position."

"Then, I have a new dream. To build Dream City. Now I need to take advantage of my brother .. Because you used me as a stuntman."

"This gunshot wound is nothing .. this is normal for a stuntman."

"Look at this." The man opens the clothes that are wrapped around his stomach.

Hendra sees the tear marks in his stomach.

"And this." He shows off the marks on his calf.

"Ah I forgot .. the shot in my calf was well maintained .. so it is almost invisible now."

"So you're the one whom Wiryo put to divert the threats."

"Yeah .. right .. I'm a good stuntman, right?".

"This is crazy.."

"It is not us who are crazy .. but they .. the people who threaten us are the crazy people.' Riswan is just like the D floor leaders who care and are loyal to the Wenceslas Group.

"Actually I have a crazier plan to catch them."

"What??"

"They are strong because they like to lick ass and close to the government. It is the time for the Wenceslas Group to think about this. We will start from collaborating with regional heads .. Dream City is the way .. it's the path for us .. it is not just my dream."

Mahendra sits beside Riswan. And this man pats his brother back

"How did you survive this far?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Of course! I don't want to die foolishly because of them."

"You have to be more daring to fight, don't just stay quiet .. let alone avoid them .. My power is not as big as yours, you know .. You are the main character, not a stuntman ..."

"What should I do?"

"Let's focus on our long-term target. Seize their colleagues in the government. Show our strength, and let them come out of hiding." Riswan gives advice.

"Make yourself very well known to the public .. So when the problems occur, the public will rush to you. Use the power of the public to provide security." (Riswan)

"Your way of speaking is similar to the inhabitants of the D floor." (Hendra)

"Haha .. we grew up together." (Riswan)

"Mas Hendra .. I have a shorter and easier way if you want."

"What is it?" Hendra is more friendly this time. The tense situation begins to melt.

"Come with me .."

Riswan's words make Hendra feel suspicious.

"They are strong because of the government support. Why don't we also find support for us?" (Riswan)

"Tch .. I thought it's a new way." (Hendra)

"I'm serious..". (Riswan)

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood." (Hendra)

"Fine, it doesn't matter .. If you are fed up with the hostile game that these two damned generations play. I can make the way for you .. the path to a greater power that can stop them." (Riswan)

"Especially when the path is more useful to many people. Isn't that cool?" (Riswan)

"I'm not interested in politics as you do ... Wenceslas Group still needs me .. Besides, I need to prepare for the next generation. This challenge is simple but it's not easy for me .." (Hendra)

"I heard that you avoid women .. I thought you were gay .. but aren't you married? Or don't you really have a different sexual orientation .. So even though you have a wife you can't touch her?" (Riswan)

"Damn .. What are you talking about?!" Mahendra raises his hand, wanting to hit the shameless man.

"Punching the mayor is against the law and you will be put into jail .. Just because you knew that I am a backup for you, you dare to hit me." (Riswan)

"Watch your mouth if you want to be safe!" (Hendra)

***

"Hendra .. It's unusual for you to come early .. are you sick?" The blue eyed man stumbles on the super king bed still wearing shoes, coats, and tie. He's not usually like this. He is always a perfectionist in everything. Especially in being tidy.

"Are you sleeping?"

"Hen ... hendra ...". His wife puts her palm against his forehead. He doesn't have fever.

"Aaargh .." Hendra knocks Aruna down to the bed and crushes her.

"Aruna, do you know that .. we need a baby .. ??"

"You are drunk, huh?"

"No! I'm serious!" The blue eyed man takes off his coat.

"Hendra! Don't forget your promise .. do not scare me."

"You know I'm not a gay .. I can make you pregnant .. we need to try .."

"Hen .. Where is your brain?.. You are speaking nonsense and you are acting really strange .. Get away from me!!".

"Aah .. I'm dizzy ..". The blue-eyed man ruffles his hair. He's so weird.

"Get away!!"

"What will happen if I break my promise .." Somehow this man seems delirious.

"I .. I will… huh .. ??"

"You don't have strength to push me, right?"

"Come on .." The blue eyed man drops his body next to his wife's and begins to wrap his arms around Aruna's stomach.

"I will tell the truth. I can't stand you ..".

The closed eyes suddenly open wide and are replaced with a sharp glare.

"I just remember .. that you are really afraid of those words."

"Don't say it .. I don't like hearing it."

"Do you understand?!" Hendra forces her to nod.

"Yes."

"Louder!".

"Yes .."

"Good! Now massage me! Today is actually a short day .. I don't have overtime either .. But I'm very tired .."

Aruna wants to hold her husband's brown hair who is laying on his stomach, exhausted. But this girl hesitates.

So she cancels her initial intention, choosing to take off his shoes.

"Aruna .. you don't have to take off my shoes .. I'll do it myself!"

"It's okay."

"I said no .. it's not polite!"

"See, your protest is useless, I have take them off anyway."

"Next time, don't." The blue-eyed man is too lazy to move because of fatigue.

_Apparently, you also care about manners_

_English man .. How is my massage? Are my hands strong enough? _

"Where's the massage?"

"It's okay that I massage you?"

"You said you are not naive and innocent .. Do not ask too many questions!"

With hesitation, Aruna's little hands begin to press on her husband's back.

"Huuh .. I can't feel it at all .. Your hands are too small and they don't have any strength."

Aruna presses it harder.

"How about this?"

"I still can't feel it .. just try to massage me with your feet!"

Aruna follows the instruction without protest.

"Ah .. I remember when I was little, I often did this for my father."

"Aruna, move up .. on my shoulders .. now that's .. ah, it's really good .. harder..."

BLUE OCEANS

Blue..

He came to my life

Taking along with him a very uncertain road

Greeting with unusual ways

Approaching and pushing

Wanting me to kneel down

All that hidden in my spatial room

Let it be mine

You may run around there

At any time you want

But I am not sure

If there is an ending that I want

Aruna stood stupefied. She was watching the gown she had to wear. She thought she had told thewere designer, Dedebudihiarjo, a few momths ago, that she disliked too many ribbons, beads, and flowers. Now, she saw so many swarovski crystals scattered everywhere all over gown.

She also told him that she was not fond of heavy gown, but forgot to tell him that she disliked too much fluffy one.

Beautiful? Yes!
