"Gayatri, do you think I was overdoing it?" An old woman peeked at the couple, who were entering the car.

"Yes." Gayatri, Hendra's mother, replied.

She was not very talkative and tended to be calm.

"But my prediction is correct. She's an innocent and sweet girl."

A smile spreaded from Wenceslas's grandmother.

"I think the way you find out is a little too much." Gayatri stared at the pace of her son's car deeper than anyone else thought.

"Well.. today was so fun.. That girl can make Hendra react unexpectedly. Even you are also affected."

'I miss the warm atmosphere of this house, which has been extinguished for years'

Sukma ended her observation.

The curtains rising from the reception room window flickered.

"Does each member of your family have a personal servant? Some kind of secretary? Like Surya?" Aruna started a simple conversation.

An expression of her gratitude to the man who protected her from one of the personal servants of the Wenceslas family.

"Yes." Hendra looked a little lost in thought.

"Except for that quiet woman, she likes to wander around on her own. For the bodyguards, it's difficult, because they have to follow her secretly." Hendra's answer raised a question mark.

'A quiet woman??' Aruna tried to guess who Hendra was referring to.

'Ah Mrs. Gayantri'

"How can you call her like that? She is your mother right?" This girl was too naive to understand the Wenceslas family's complicated situation.

"I don't like talking about my family! You want me to buy another bag to shut up?!" Hendra glanced at Aruna with an offer.

"I'm just asking! Why is your response harsh?!"

"Even though I want to thank you. Hah, forget it !! My gratitude has paid off." Aruna grumbled to herself.

And both of them were silent again.

Aruna opened the phone to get rid of boredom.

He got a whatsapp message from Damar. The man was able to meet her earlier.

Aruna's face was happy, observing the chat of a literary student, very intriguing.

*If you are late, I say myself to be a statue. And the actuator buttons only come from your finger. (Damar)

*If I don't come, what will happen to the Damar statue? (Aruna)

*Of course, he will get a lot of change, people must have thought someone was singing with 3D art.

Aruna's eyes narrowed under the smile on her face.

The girl began to tidy up her hair and bangs, turning the camera on her phone as a mirror.

"Can you drop me off at the stop over there?"

"Nope." Hendra roughly replied.

Aruna's forehead frowned, hearing Hendra's words.

"Why?"

"Because your father gave his responsibility to me." (Bringing her to the house)

"Okay.. I'll ask permission from my Dad."

The girl called her father's number several times and failed. He didn't pick up the call.

Her face became wrinkled.

"How can you so easily comply with every request of your father?" Hendra was still curious.

"Of course, because he's my father." Aruna's answer caused confusion to a man who grew up without a father's figure.

"Does every child who has a father, have thoughts like you?"

Hendra's question really represented his condition.

"There are also those who choose to avoid, refuse, and even rebel."

"As long as I can, why not? After all, obeying parents' requests is as difficult as refusing it. If in the end there will be many hearts hurt, why don't we choose to make them happy?"

Somehow, Aruna's expression this time was not as strong as she used to be.

'She is really naive and straightforward' Hendra thought.

Hendra was happy. It seemed like Aruna was easier to control than he thought.

"When you are married, the responsibility of a father becomes the husband's, right? That means you will obey me like you obey your father?" Hendra hoped.

"Of course not! I will obey the contract contents that we have made." Aruna replied while typing a message for her father.

"Really?! All the contents?" Hendra smiled happily.

"You know one of the contracts says 'we could kiss if necessary' are you sure you dare to do it?"

Hendra knew Aruna had not thoroughly read every article in the MOU that they have signed.

'Oh, dad replied to my message 'yes' The girl was too focused on her phone.

"What did you say earlier??"

She really didn't hear Hendra's words.

"Are you sure you dare to do it?" Hendra repeated the sentence.

"Yes yes.. of course."

"Em.. Stop here."

'That's the halte' Aruna was grateful to be right near the bus stop.

The girl took out something from her bag, a Platinum Card.

It took a different way to hand over this rectangular object to the owner so that Hendra didn't refuse.

'What?? why is she approaching?'

Hendra was stunned to see the little girl he made up beautifully approaching him.

The man blinked, shook for a moment, and began to take his hands off the steering wheel.

'Is she really going to show her courage??'

Hendra's head was uncontrollable when Aruna's hand seemed to be pulling his chest.

The man approached. He was focused on something that was blushing.

He just didn't know that Aruna approached him to insert the Platinum Card into the shirt pocket on his chest.

Aruna's hand had just touched Hendra's pocket, not having had time to finish inserting the card...

"Ah, what is this?" The soft-touch on her lips.

For a split second, Aruna lost herself, in shock.

Someone closed his eyes and touched his lips to Aruna's lips.

'What?? What did he do to me?!!'

"Aaaaaaagrh....." The girl screamed uncontrollably.

Aruna's first kiss was easily stolen by the sharp-mouthed man.

"WHAT A THIEF... !! Aruna pulled her bag.

The beautiful sling bag given by Hendra was held firmly at the end of the rope.

She started beating Hendra.

Everything went awry.

Except for the heart of a man who slowly melted, realizing he was madly in love.
