Chapter 154 - Sleeping Companion

"Am I the only one who can become a Psychosocial Therapist?". This girl asked further.

"Yes, I guess for now it's only you? Because his mommy.. Aruna knows that Mrs. Gayatri also has experienced problems since that incident?". Diana answered.

"She's also sick? I mean, she has a psychological problem like Hendra". This girl made a guess and it turned out that Diana confirmed it. She gave another explanation about Hendra's mommy. It wasn't much, but it was able to make Aruna understand more. This girl strengthened her awareness even more. Why were Hendra and his mommy different? Why did Hendra always avoid interacting with his mommy? Why was his mommy so calm that sometimes it didn't make sense?

The Wenceslas family, who was known for their power that could stun many people, was only a picture from the outside. Because in fact, what was in it was a collection of individuals who had difficulty in finding happiness. Like Hendra who was crazy about the new girl from outside his family circles, because this girl was the first person who taught him to find simple things about how to enjoy life.

"Miss, it's time for you to rest". Surya reminded Hendra's wife who was still reluctant to leave her husband.

"If he wakes up and sees you here, he'll be devastated". Surya persuaded her once again.

Before leaving, Aruna took the time to kiss Mahendra on the cheek while whispering something to the blue-eyed man's ear: "Hurry, wake up. So you can disturb me".

She looked closely at the face of the Wenceslas Group's CEO before letting him disappear behind the door.

Surya accompanied her slow steps until this girl fell on the floor due to weakness. The tiny body was immediately carried back to her room and the doctor quickly helped her.

She might be too shocked by the many events that drained her emotions. This girl ended up sleeping alone in her room.

Her husband's secretary started to be confused looking for a person who should've accompanied this girl.

_Who? Grandma? Ah, it's impossible. Wiryo is sick. Or Mrs. Gayatri? But it's already this late. Would it be polite to wake her up?! Ah. What should I do?_ There was no way to contact Aruna's family either. Everyone knew that keeping him looking fine was very important in the eyes of his superiors. If her family realized that this kid looked alarming, it'd encourage them to take her from the Wenceslas family.

_Who? Who?_

_Wait? Her best friend? The 'oppa lover' kid might be able to_

This man walked out of the door of her room and started making calls. He also couldn't be far from Hendra. When that man woke up, Surya had to be near him.

.

"Hmm..". Aruna noticed someone caressing her face, but she was reluctant to open her eyes. She was quite tired and couldn't open her face. She looked for a comfortable side by stretching. She felt someone was tidying the blanket and wiping her sweat.

_Is this Hendra? He's already awake??_ Aruna fell asleep again after a rhythmic rhythm gently stroked her hair.

This man voiced a tone with his closed mouth: "Na.. Nana.. Hmm.. Hmm.. Hmm..". He sang a song to accompany her sleep. This girl looked comfortable, not realizing who was accompanying her. The newcomer musician. The writer of the song 'Still Here' lulled her sleep.

The desperate Damar. He didn't move far from Aruna's room. He knew there was a serious conversation before Aruna left her room. He came home but was canceled. He preferred to be around the girl's room to make sure Aruna was okay.

And the girl was carried back into the room with all the panic and the doctor who took care of her. Unfortunately, she was left to sleep alone. Damar couldn't stand it. He accompanied Aruna, helping her rest as comfortable as possible.

.

"Mr. Surya, Aruna's door is locked?". Dea made a phone call.

"Really? Try asking our bodyguard who's guarding the entrance to the VV..".

"Huh. No.. No..".

"How? Do I need to go there?". Surya asked.

"No.. It's done..".

_Why is this kid? She looks panicked, but.. Ah, she's a little unique_ Surya thought when he found the call turned off by the veiled girl on the other end.

.

"Damar!! You're crazy!! How could you be here?!". She was in shock because the one who opened the door was her own friend.

"Stt! You can wake Aruna". He relaxed, walked back to Aruna and sat beside the bed of the founder of the Magic Letter, casually holding her hand.

"You.. Don't touch Aruna. Please! She already has a husband, Damar?!". This girl began to look for ways to make her friend realize.

"Don't talk too much, let alone lecture me. I've struggled like crazy to get to this place and sit here. You know I don't have much chance. So shut up, Dea". Damar wiped Aruna's sweat again and the most surprising thing was that he dared to kiss that girl's hand.

"Damar, you're really crazy!? She's someone's wife, Damar! Let go of her hand!". Dea approached, trying to push Damar aside. She hoped Damar would go and give Aruna up. This young man ignored all of Dea's words. He grabbed Aruna's hand tightly which Dea was trying to take.

"I'll go.. Relax for a moment. Let me.. Huh..". The singer paused for a moment and took a deep breath.

"You know I love her so much and she was taken away by that man. Is it wrong if I want to be around her for a moment?". Damar looked angry, sparking an argument.

"Aruna has chosen to get married, regardless of whether it was forced by her family or not. You must realize that their bond is sacred, Damar! Marriage. Remember, marriage?! Not just young people's love!". She tried to make the young man in front of her understand, a friend she hadn't seen for a long time. In her heart, she wished she could greet each other warmly. In fact, Damar did something dangerous and unethical.

"You said sacred?? Their marriage isn't what you imagined. They're just bound…". Damar canceled his words.

Dea frowned.

"It's up to you whatever your perception is?! I'll keep waiting for Aruna until he leaves that weird man?!". Damar sat again and held Aruna's hand.

"I'll tell her secretary if you don't leave. Why can't you be warned?!". Dea bluffed. She was even sadder to see Damar's blind behavior towards the situation.

"Who? Surya? Do you have the heart to see they kill me if I get caught?". Damar looked at Dea.

"So get out of here before that happens! If Aruna finds out, I'm sure she's also really worried about you?!". Dea complained.

"Just a moment, De..". (Damar)

"Ah! Dam..!". Dea glanced at the man beside her who spontaneously hid himself in a hooded jacket and pulped the mask from his neck over his face, leaving only his eyes.

Damar rushed out past Surya, who was confused to see a man in Aruna's room. Damar quickly came out and disappeared.

"Who is he?". Aruna's husband's secretary tried to find out.

"He's a friend who drove me. He wanted to go home anyway. He's in a hurry." This kid was saying istighfar in her heart because she had to lie.

_Oh, so she has a boy friend? Perhaps her boyfriend?_

"That's your boyfriend. Hmm.. You have a boyfriend?". Surya was curious.

"Oh, no! I can't possibly date. Hmm.. I mean, I don't do that kind of thing". She was nervous, talking carelessly. Damar made her heart almost jump out.

"Then".

"That was my nephew. Yes, nephew".

"You said friend earlier??". Surya was still curious.

"Ah, right.. Nephew who feels like a friend, because he's the same age".

_Ugh, I lied again! Wait! Why does he look curious?_

"Why do you keep asking?".

"Oh.. No, no.. I'm.. Curious.. Eh, no! Hmm.. I need to make sure she's safe!? Right!". Surya was at a loss.

"Hehe. You're right?". Dea laughed casually, turning her attention to Aruna.

_Shit! I'm confused. She just laughed_ Surya felt stupid.

.

"Arunaa….". Lili ran into her best friend's room, followed by the others.

"Happy birthday..". Laras hugged her and handed her a birthday present with ponies on the cover.

"Wow, cute.. Thanks". This girl smiled.

"Guys, open the cake now!". Agus just came in. He immediately sat on the sofa, put the big cake on the table, and began to open it.

"Gus, you don't want to greet me first?". Aruna asked.

"Lazy!". That fat body replied annoyingly.

"Mean!". Aruna protested.

"Hehe". He laughed but his eyes focused on opening the cake. A moment later, Dea entered with a tall woman with wavy hair, the result of a professional hair stylist. Her beautiful face was polished with make-up. She didn't look like a part of Aruna's friends.

"Lili, you left Andin alone. She was confused, you know!". Dea exclaimed.

"Ah, sorry. I forgot. Andin, I'm sorry.. I also forgot to check the phone.. Huhu.. Sorry". Lili was agitated.
