Chapter 126 - Putting Off Selfishness

"Where's my Uda hidden?". A woman with cloth pants combined with a short blazer seemed formal for the residents of music art lover's basecamp. If the one who came was an artist, looking charming was very normal. But when the one who came was an office employee, it was too strange. (Uda: a nickname for older man in Minangkabau language)

.

"Danu, there's an angry woman down below.. She's looking for you". Damar stopped his activity to guide a female soloist who would present her new work.

"Huh? My fan?".

"Just look at it first. She cursed at Bay". Danu Umar went down the stairs in a hurry and found something astonishing. That woman was gonna throw the thing on her hand : "Mrs. HRD, put it down! Or I'll kick you out".

"Udaaaa….". That woman ran up the stairs, the ones that her son hadn't finished going down yet.

_Ah. You must be kidding. She'll definitely hug me_

"Don't.. Don't hug me". Damar stepped back. However, his step back from climbing up the stairs wasn't as fast as Mrs. HRD running to reach his back.

_Damn.. Embarrassing_

His scene was seen by a collection of musicians who were trained by Bay. They stared.

As predicted, the woman in formal clothes cried uncontrollably, full of drama.

"Uda! Naughty kid.. Where have you been?". The mother's hand couldn't help but hitting the back that she just hugged lightly. The fluffy and loose black hair also moved and scattered following the way she hit.

"If you have problems with my foster child, let's solve it well". Bay still didn't understand the real condition.

"Don't interfere!".

"This kid must be punished for playing with my feelings". Her words tended to be messy, that's how Mrs. HRD was.

Bay's eyes glared sharply at Danu. He took the words of the woman who hit his foster child seriously. Maybe the singer of The Reddish Hue had a gloomy situation: 'aunts' sugar baby'.

Damar couldn't explain yet because his mother was still venting frustration without pause.

.

.

"So, you're Mrs.. Huh, who do you call him?". Bay asked nervously since the previous scene was really crazy.

"My Uda.. He's my lovely Uda". She answered fiery. Her emotion hadn't completely subsided while putting on a small plaster on her son's chin who fell as a result of being hit by his mother.

"Could you talk normally?". He grinned in pain and amused hearing her mother's ambitious love.

"I can't.. I'm half crazy looking for my son who reportedly disappeared into the earth". She was still emotional.

"But I can stop smoking finally". Now he was shy.

"Hehe. You almost look like each other". Bay interrupted, intended to give a familiar feel.

"No!!". Two humans with the status of mother and child said the word 'no' at the same time, making the other person laugh.

"I really don't want to be equated with her.. She's messy".

"I'm your mother..". Mrs. HRD hadn't finished talking.

"What I meant by look like each other is you have the same facial expression, equally charming. Hehe". Bay immediately clarified the phrase that came out of his mouth earlier.

His intention wasn't actually about being charming, but it was better than the mother and the child in front of him fighting again.

"Of course, my son is so handsome because of me".

"Really?! I must hear it again". His words hadn't changed since Danu was a kid.

.

.

"Is it true that he lost that girl?". The mother was talking to someone who claimed to be the foster father of her son now.

"The last two years, I didn't really look for her. His friends, especially the founder of Magic Letter, his side job's headquarters, always provide news and developments".

"I know. Uda was very dependent of her.. It must be a very heavy blow". Sintia's eyes began to turn red.

"He's trying to recover. Don't worry". The old bachelor in a white T-shirt and jeans began to talk.

"I'm afraid he'll be like me".

"I only love one person in my life and I have a hard time looking for a replacement.. Even though Danu's father was never kind".

"Teach him to move on". A deep plea.

"Unfortunately, I have the same problem. That's why I can't even get married yet".

"What?? Oh my God.. My son will go through the same bad luck?!". Sintia felt down.

"Relax, Mother.. Calm yourself down, Mother".

"I'm not your mother.. You're older".

"I think I'm no more than 3 years older than you. Huh? It's unimportant?! What's certain is I won't let Danu suffer the same fate. You can trust me". Bayu convince Mrs. HRD who looked at him with a look full of disbelief.

"What's going on with you? I'm tired of fighting all the time".

"My biological instinct has reached the crown".

"Ah.. What?? Argh….".

The man fell on the floor, catching the woman's body from behind.

"Hen! What you're doing right now is dangerous for us". She was still trying to look for the lotion inside the suitcase.

"You said dangerous? Hehe. Turns out you're not naive".

The blue-eyed began to bury his head on the tiny girl's shoulder from behind. She didn't refuse nor rebel.

Even though his hands hugged his wife's stomach, beyond predictions, that girl didn't run.

"Aruna.. I've decided something important for our relationship". He talked while kissing his wife's shoulder.

"Hen.. You'd better let me go..".

"Listen to me for a moment". This man even began to kiss Aruna's neck.

"Hen.. Please, don't..". The woman complained.

"I won't ask you, let alone urge you, to accept my love".

"I used to come in a bad way. I often forced you, even set you up to obey my wishes".

"I want to start something new now. Let everything happen naturally like the way you try to survive my attitude and finally I'm interested in you".

"Just give me a chance. How? Deal?".

Hendra's words weren't like himself. The little girl who was under the influence of the hug needed to see his face. She turned her head for a moment towards where the blue-eyed's chin rested on.

Instead of getting trust, the Angel Face wanted to kiss his girl's lips. Aruna tried to hold back his intention. She put her finger on Hendra's lips.

"Enough or you'll break the promise and agreement that we made". Aruna said.

"How about my recent offer? Do you agree?? I only need a chance to fix everything from the start".

"I'll answer after you let me go. I need to finish my bath".

Hendra let her go and Aruna ran as fast as she could.

When she had finished, Lesmana's tiny daughter immersed herself on the corner and curled up in the blanket, turning her back against the blue-eyed.

"Come here. I've been waiting for you". Mahendra said while waiting for his girl's presence.

"Or else I'll come closer and hug you from behind".

"You forgot I need your pulse".

The girl who was labeled as a logic destroyer gave up and dragged herself towards the blue-eyed. She curled up under the CEO's chest, between his stomach and chest to be exact. Her eyes were closed and she stuck out her right hand.

The blue-eyed reached out the wrist of his sleeping companion and his other hand unveiled the thin hair that scattered over Aruna's face.

"You owe me an answer". He hurried her.

After a long silence, finally a soft sound wave greeted eardrums.

"If I give you a chance and turns out that this heart chooses to go or anchors to someone else, what will happen to us?".

"Each of us doesn't know what the future holds?". Aruna slowly opened her eyes.

"No problem. There's no other way other than asking for a chance for right now?".

"Or.. What if we cancel our marriage agreement?". (Hendra)

"No.. I've decided to stick to our MoU and that can't be bothered anymore". (Aruna)

"Why are you like this?". (Hendra)

"Your mother also said that you're hard to understand. I don't like beating around the bush. Tell me what the reason is! Why don't you want to cancel it?". (Hendra)

"If only I hadn't stuck to my father's request. Maybe the condition is worse now. You married a woman who had a lover because I obeyed my father.. I can help my family and can survive without destruction like what has happened to Aliana". (Aruna)

"Even though father's request didn't meet my expectation. I thought that was about taking care of myself as a girl. Turns out it's because there's a marriage agreement that ties my family". (Aruna)

"So I'm sure there's always meaning behind an event.. Whatever that is, including our marriage's MoU. I'll o froze bey it until the end". (Aruna)

_My last way to get out of here_

Mahendra froze in silence.

"No problem..". He has found the conclusion from the nerves of the brain that had just worked hard.

"We start everything from the beginning, whether there is or there isn't a marriage contract. That was my fault. I should bear the risk. I hope we can help each other. Try to start things off in a better way". (Hendra)
