The two nephews then used the situation to slip away from the young man.

The wind when riding a Vespa made Aruna so happy. Every now and then, the young man asked if she was delighted or not.
"If you're happy, hug me!" Damar seduced.
Aruna hit the young man on the back every time he seduced her.
For a moment, the girl left the bustle of her life that drained energy along with the ride.
After visiting one of the unique cafes with cave concept, Goldstar 360 Cave, Damar took her to The Lodge Maribaya.
They tried the sky bike, sky wing, and several other games. It was so adrenaline draining but fun at the same time.
Aruna really enjoyed it.
They then also enjoyed the end of the day by looking at Bandung city's expanse from Puncak Bintang on Moko Hill.
After getting tired of exploring the photo spots, both of them were now staring at the sparkling lights of Bandung city from above.
Damar took out a jacket from his bag.
"It would be even more charming if I took off my jacket and put it on your shoulder. Unfortunately, I'm a tropical person so it is too naive at 15 °C to act out that scene." Damar covered Aruna's light jacket with the jacket he just showed.
Aruna laughed, amused by Damar's words.
"If you act like that, I might think you are a Korean drama lover."
"Haha." Damar laughed at Aruna's words.
"Where does such a conclusion come from?"
"Dea often watches it with a smile, and I see there are many scenes like that."
"Oh yeah?? I hope this is not the same as Korean drama." Damar took out his phone, sent a Google Drive link to Aruna's WhatsApp.

The man suggested the girl use her earphones, staring and paying close attention as the girl listened to his work.
~ Tell me
~ How to stop this heartbeat
~ If every time you laugh
~ The reddish hue is there
~~~
~ I think it's just my imagination
~ In fact, it just comes
~ Hovering in the air and bewitching me
~ Paralyzes everything
~~~
Reff
~ Tell me
~ How to stop this heartbeat
~ Chasing you for a long time
~ But you still dancing there
~~~
~ Don't ask how I'm doing
~ I'm tired of myself
~ When you asked me to go
~ The redness hue brings me back
Aruna off her earphones, didn't know where to start.
She was silent.
Until she uttered the word "E..." There was an anxiety feeling between the man and her.
Aruna didn't dare look at him. She believed that the lyrics of the song accompanied by the guitar were meant for her.
Isn't reddish hue what her name means? Then, why was she no longer able to dodge as usual? Taking it as a joke then shattered any hope he was asking for.
Has her heart wavered?
The night looked beautiful. Together with the sparkling lights of Bandung city that bounce like crystals, and intoxicating guitar playing, the man whispered.
"What do you think?" Damar opened the conversation.
"Before many people listen to it, I hope you are the first one who does it."
"I know, I'm too presumptuous, making songs about my feelings. Just pretend I'm reminiscing memories. If later you are tired of your world. Remember, there is someone who wanted you so deeply.
"So finally, you accept the music producer's offer? As far as I know, you always reject it, right? What's happening now?!" Aruna changed the conversation topic.

"It looks like I need something to do to stop bothering you." Damar glanced at the girl beside him, wishing he could look her in the eye.
At least, Aruna didn't hide her face.
"I think after this, to meet Danu Umar, I have to make a poster shouting 'Oppa...Oppa... nal bwa Oppa ..." (Oppa… Oppa… Look at me)
"Ha..haha." Both of them laughed.

"Hmm... Dad, why did you call me at night?" Aruna greeted his father, Lesmana.
"How about your seminar? It went well?"
"Yes... as a usual Dad."
'Ah, I lied to Dad'
"Is the program over?
Aruna hasn't had time to answer yet...
"Actually, Hendra just called me, hoping to see you tomorrow morning." Lesmana added.
"I'm not sure I'll arrive in Jakarta in the morning." Aruna replied.
'Oh, that man. What's up this time?!'
"He deliberately vacated his Sunday schedule to meet you. I hope you understand, Aruna. Hendra's schedule is quite busy, even on weekends."

These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith.

And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
