"Come here!" Hendra was anxious to ask her to come closer.

"This is for my 'too smart' future wife." The man gave Aruna a small kiss on the cheek.

Her cheeks flushed but she quickly pushed him over.

"You always steal at any chance!" Aruna grabbed Hendra's ear and pulled it.

Surprisingly, the car churned. The driver lost control. He tried to turn the steering wheel and sneak around among the other cars at high speed.

The car shook and several times slammed the passengers.

"Sir, the car brakes failed." One of the guards at the front whispered through the device in their ear in a calm and professional tone.

"I will create friction with the toll road barrier, so that the speed can be lowered."

"Aruna, come closer." Aruna didn't really understand the real condition yet.

Somehow, she knew something was up.

The girl followed Hendra's order to sneak in on the Wenceslas Group's CEO's coat.

..

The girl followed Hendra's order to sneak in on the Wenceslas Group's CEO's coat.

The young master seriously embraced Aruna's tiny body, keeping her from being hit. He didn't allow Aruna to see the outside.

He even buried Aruna's head in his chest.

His bodyguard began to take out the gun hidden under his jacket.

"No shots from inside this car. I don't want my future wife to be scared." Hendra pressed the device on his ear.

"We have to shoot the rear tires. This will help to reduce the speed." Said one of the bodyguards.

"Ask the car behind to do it. This is an order!" Hendra exclaimed.

"They are still too far away. We only have 10 minutes to reach the toll booth."

"Please understand, Sir. If this car has not stopped at the toll exit. We all know there is no hope." Their conversation was hunted by the sound of Bentley scraping against the toll wall.

"Hendra..." A low voice was heard behind Hendra's coat.

"There's nothing to worry about, Aruna. Calm down... Everything will be fine." The man hugged her even tighter, giving light and soothing strokes.

"Sir, there's no time left..." The bodyguard asked.

"I'm sorry, Aruna. Stay hidden." Hendra's embrace was getting tighter.

His hands were crossed, leaving his fingers to search for Aruna's ear holes and squeezed them hard, as if the girl wasn't allowed to hear anything.

"Now!!" Hendra gave permission.

His bodyguard took part of his body out of the car window.

Those inside the car heard several gunshots, and they could feel the extreme shaking on the left side of the car.

A sign that the car tire was broken.

The bodyguard named Putra was now holding the steering wheel, letting his partner shoot the right side car tires.

The shaking got louder and collided with a scraping sound that hurt the ears.

Aruna repeatedly wanted to see the outside, but Hendra didn't let her.

The Wenceslas's heir's hands and body tried their best to keep the tiny body inside his coat safe and clueless.

"Hendra, what's wrong... ?? Hendra...?"

"Calm down, Aruna.. Calm down..."

Putra was disappointed because the toll exit was already visible.

The car's speed has decreased considerably, but it was still impossible to stop before the toll exit.

Suddenly, the car got a hard impact from the left. Hendra was slammed with Aruna in his arms.

It turned out that help was coming.

The escort car behind caught up, squeezing his master's Bentley. The car was perfectly swiped between the toll barrier and the guard's car.

Thank goodness, it stopped exactly a few meters before the toll exit.

They felt relieved.

"Sir, please come out. We are not sure this car can last long."

Strong friction could cause an explosion at any time.

"Give me your cloth or handkerchief" Hendra's request was immediately fulfilled.

Wiryo's grandson swiftly covered Aruna's eyes by hooking a handkerchief. He didn't let Aruna's two hands grab that thing.

Hendra immediately took off his coat.

Aruna came out with her eyes closed, including her head, until her body was wrapped in Hendra's long dangling coat.

This little girl was barely visible.

Hendra held her tight, making sure the other car took them off the road.

Finally, the young master allowed Aruna to open her eyes, giving permission to see the conditions outside.

"Hendra, what was wrong?" Aruna Asked, questioning.

"Don't think too much." The man was lying tired in the car seat, feeling his body starting to ache to withstand the impact earlier.

"Aruna, are you okay? Is your body hurt?" He still had time to confirm his future wife's condition.

Hendra once injured the girl. This time, the same thing shouldn't happen again.

"You hugged me too tight. I just had trouble breathing." Aruna replied.

"If I may know, what happened??" The girl was still curious.

Why did Hendra not allow her to see what happened just now?

Hendra looked at her. His body was tired and starting to hurt everywhere.

Aruna's hair was messy, and her clothes were matted because Hendra tried hard to restrain her.

"Take us to the main house!" The man ignored Aruna's question.

'I can rest safely there.'

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Shouldn't we go to the hospital?" His bodyguards were getting worried.

"Going to the main house is the same. There is a medical team that we can rely on, right?"

"Aruna, tell Dad that you are in our main house." Hendra ordered.

"Your father must be very worried if you come home late. I need a little time before taking you home." Hendra needed to check the bruise on his left arm, which was getting worse.

"I can go home alone."

"No! You are not allowed to go home alone from now on!"

"Your bodyguards can escort me, right?!"

"So you can rest comfortably." Aruna advised.

'It looks like Hendra is injured.' Aruna murmured.

"No! Give me a moment before taking you home."

'I'm sorry, Aruna. You were only picked up by my guards this morning.' Hendra muttered to himself.

Hendra began to close his eyes.

The little girl was a bit curious about Hendra's left hand.

Although it was deliberately hidden, it was clear that his forehead frowned every time he moved.

Aruna approached and tried to touch it. Somehow, a deft movement grabbed Aruna's finger.

It turned out that the man who closed his eyes was still alert.

"Nothing to check. Sit quiet."

***

The car carrying the Wenceslas's sole heir drove fast into the particular road that Aruna passed a week ago, meaning that the main house was near.

A moment later, the gate opened. The car sped off and ended up in front of the Wenceslas house's main door.

There were several people already standing there. The incident seemed to have reached them.

A neat-looking man with round glasses helped Hendra get out of the car. They walked while talking, and a girl behind them was trying to take note.

Maybe it was a doctor and a nurse.

Hendra's steps stopped. He then looked at Aruna.

"Tell the maid to help Miss Aruna tidy up." Hendra's order made this little girl couldn't follow Hendra's steps anymore.

The man disappeared behind the hallway with the doctor and his private nurse.

A moment later, Aruna was greeted by two friendly maids.

"Please, come in." The maid opened two doors at once, a beautiful and elegant entrance.

Aruna thought she would enter another room. Somehow, she didn't think that there was a large white bed inside.

It was beyond her expectation.

Was this a bedroom? The interior was quite interesting and a little unique.

It was too unique because in one corner of the room, there was a work table equipped with towering bookshelves on the right and back, leaving some space for the glass windows that were no less high.

In front of the window, there was a chair attached for a place to capture the outside view.

It was the first interior that caught Aruna's heart from this house.

What tickled Aruna the most was whoever sat at the work table, their eyes could freely catch the person's movement who was sleeping on the super king bed in front of them.

It was because the layout clearly looked intentional like that.

This was only one part of it, not to mention another angle.

The small table near the bed was decorated with beautiful lights, dressing tables, television with comfortable sofas, and other facilities.

In Aruna's mind, this room's size was about 3 or even 4 times of her room's.

Unfortunately, Aruna hadn't seen the clothes display room behind the door which was maybe 5 to 6 times of her room's size.

"Miss, the bathroom is behind the door." The maid politely opened the door.

"We will prepare clothes on the bed." She added.

"If you need a comb and make-up, we apologise because the dresser is still empty."

"We'll bring you a comb and make-up as soon as possible."

"Just relax, I just need a comb." Aruna interrupted.

'Sure, my hair is messy.'

"You can rest in this room while waiting for the young master."

Aruna lightly nodded.

"If you need other assistance, press the 0 button on the phone." The maid directed her hand.

The style and demeanor of these maids were like 5-star hotel services.

'Ah, so Hendra lives like this all the time.' Aruna was busy with her own thoughts.

Simultaneously, other maids came bringing warm drinks and snacks.

"Do you have any questions, Miss?" One of them tried to catch Aruna's restlessness.

"If you may know, whose room is this?" Aruna asked.

"Oh, this is your room." The maid replied.

"What??"

"This is the room that Grandma Sukma prepared for you and the young master."

"WHAT???"
