"What happened between me and you has nothing to do with Damar at all". Aruna got up and took the clothes she had to wear. Even though she wanted to wear clothes that suited her taste, Hendra still prepared what he liked for Aruna.

[BEFORE GOING HOME]
.
Her whole family definitely were imagining the special gift from Aruna's husband wasn't far from : 'A Hot Night'.
_Damn! I'll kill you after this_
_Argh…!! Unlucky.. Unlucky.._ Lesmana's youngest daughter could only curse behind his family's wish to say a prayer at the turn of the age to 20 years old.
.
"Aruna.. Can I talk to you?". Lesmana asked his youngest daughter to meet him in the workroom. A place where her father used to ask his daughter for her opinion on marriage at a young age.
"Yes, Dad..". That girl followed in her father's footsteps, the man she loved the most. No one could replace the man's position in the heart of this brown-eyed girl yet.
"Honestly, I don't deserve to ask this kind of thing, but I'm sure Aruna can answer it. I need that answer". A little hesitant, Lesmana looked for stability in his heart by staring intently at the youngest daughter who was still standing.
"Just ask, Dad.. I'll definitely answer it if I can give you an answer".
"Sit down first!". Lesmana asked her daughter gently.
"Has Aruna spent the night with Hendra?". That question was asked awkwardly. Unfortunately, Lesmana couldn't suppress his curiosity. He needed to determine what was the best way for his daughter. Lesmana's worries grew when he heard the wedding gift that his son-in-law prepared said: 'I've prepared a special gift from me in our private room perfectly'.
"Hm.. We've slept together in the same bed, but that's about it, Dad". The youngest's cheeks were red with embarrassment.

"Good. It means my daughter still has a choice. I'll immediately ask. Is my daughter sure about Hendra? I mean are you sure about your marriage?". Lesmana's words made Aruna widen in surprise, then she tried to come up with an explanation.
"I'm sorry I took your youth away. Before it's too late, I have an offer. Unless my daughter is sure about her marriage, believe in Hendra, I'll let you go". Lesmana's next words made his daughter understand. Maybe her father had a way to get her to go home.
"I don't really know Hendra yet. Although sometimes he's hard to understand, Hendra is actually a good person. But…". That girl hesitated for a moment.
"We have a deal". In her doubts, Aruna wanted to share a little of her complaints with the person she cared about.
"What deal?". Now Lesmana was curious.
"One day we might decide to end the marriage, Dad". Aruna was afraid to reveal the secret between herself and Hendra. This girl was in chaos. She was the one who was shackled to the past by Damar and the freedom she had always wanted. Including a marriage agreement that made her always hesitate to marry Wiryo's grandson.
"In that case, okay. I'll make the decision for Aruna and Aruna must follow my orders. I want my daughter to come home someday. While waiting for the right time, make sure Aruna takes good care of yourself". The father wasn't just making a suggestion. He was giving orders to his daughter.
"If Aruna wants to go home, I hope that my daughter is in good condition as before. Don't give anything to someone who can't live with you forever. It's better not to give hope to Hendra". The father said.
"Can I return to this family now, Dad?". Aruna expected something more.

"Not yet, Dear.. There are things that Aruna must be responsible for. I'm not allowed to tell you in more detail. Actually, there's something you don't know yet. As long as my daughter always takes care of herself, I'm sure Aruna will be fine". His father's words were responded by a nod.
"Before the time comes, try to be patient. Be patient staying there and be patient with Hendra". The conversation was interrupted because there was a noisy man looking for his wife outside the room. Wiryo's grandson was already waiting for Lesmana's daughter. He wanted to quickly bring the youngest daughter of this family back to the main house.
.
"Aruna". The older brother called after the whole family hugged the tiny youngest, accompanying her back to the heir of Wenceslas Group who became the owner of the tiny little sister now.
"Tonight, if you're gonna be seduced to lose your virginity, listen to me! It really hurts, so undo your intention. But, if it's already the umpteenth time, make sure you're not pregnant. It's not fun to go to the campus with a huge belly". The older brother purposely raised his voice so that the man standing behind his lovely tiny offended.

The long journey of two humans who were trying to be perfect in their respective perspectives made them choose to hide many things to look good.
That's my Lesmana's daughter consistently refused to give hope. Let alone accept a confession of love. Even she was afraid to fall in love with Wiryo's grandson.
~
Unexpected.
Both hands of the prey slipped between both of the predator's arms.
Embracing and pressing the tiny body on Mahendra's back.
"Don't hate me. I reject you because I'm afraid to fall in love with you".
"I'm sorry". (Chapter 106, Buck Roses)

[NOW]
"Don't forget to wear the jacket". Mahendra sighed. He had been ignored, Aruna was too busy taking photos.
"Hendra, is it just the two of us who are going to the Lovina beach?".
"Yes.. Is there a problem?". That man walked towards the Jeep with an open roof. Then he opened the door for his wife. Aruna's sparkling eyes were clearly visible. The little doll who longed for freedom was being presented with something she dreamed of. Freely roaming the streets, going to the open beach, and maybe she could see everything that couldn't be seen from the window of the Wenceslas family's room. A room that was transformed into a prison for a girl who had a lot of activity before the marriage agreement ensnared her.
Hendra used the orange Jeep Wrangle Rubicon SUV with a price of around 1.98 billion to please his wife. He deliberately bought the car as a complement to his honeymoon with his beloved little wife. The Jeep Rubicon was 4,237 mm long, 1,875 mm wide, 1,868 mm high, and had a wheelbase of 2,460 mm while the distance to the ground or ground clearance was 280 mm. Sturdy and charming to look at.
This Jeep was parked incorrectly at the Wenceslas private island mansion in the Lombok archipelago because the owner thought his wife was willing to spend the honeymoon there. In fact, this car had to fly to Bali just to fulfill the desire of a woman named Aruna.
"Hendra, is it okay if we go alone without your bodyguards?". Aruna asked when the blue-eyed was busy fastening her seat belt.
"It doesn't matter. My wife's cold expression is more dangerous than any threat".

Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
