Chapter 75 - Love Indicator

"What's wrong with you, Aruna? Why did you come home with your puffy eyes like this? Ah, my mind went weird." Alia circled around Aruna's bed.

"Sis, I'm afraid of that person." Aruna interrupted.

"Who?" Alia asked.

"Out of nowhere, he knew I was playing at Damar's house. He suddenly came to arrest me and threatened Damar."

"I'm so scared. The bodyguards are so terrible." Aruna expressed her creeps at the Wenceslas's sole heir.

'One of them even carried a gun.'

Alia was worried and sat down.

"So your relationship with Danu Umar has been discovered?" Alia asked, digging information.

"I don't have a special relationship with him. We're just best friends. It's still the same as before." Aruna explained.

"It's not the status problem, Aruna. But... ?? Ah, you are too lame."

"Just by looking, people will know you are so close and match each other." Alia added.

"We've always been like that, what's wrong with that ??"

"The problem is you now have a future husband and him..."

"Either this is a rubbish talk or not, that strange young master seems like you." Alia explained.

'He is like a madman, in front of the gate of our house.' Alia thought.

"Hendra? That's impossible. That person just likes to bother me." Aruna disagreed with her sister's statement.

'I am positioned as a fun toy. Like it or not, to be sure, that person made me like a doll! That's true! He always did at his will!' Aruna made a conclusion.

"Hey, don't like daydreaming like that! I'm so worried..."

"Can I ask one thing? But must be answered honestly?!"

"If you weren't in a position like this, would you and that handsome musician end up together?" Alia's question made Aruna speechless.

'No way, I can't answer yes. Alia will be very burdened. She will feel guilty for me.'

"Ah, no... We are just best friends, nothing more."

"He never confessed to you?" Alia was curious.

"He used to talk strange things to me in the past... I thought it was just a joke.. because he likes to break other girls' hearts."

"Then?" Alia was more and more curious.

"Yes... finally he really confessed his love for me."

'But it's too late.'

"And how is your feeling??" Alia knew that her younger sister was always covering up things and often ignored her wishes for the good of others.

"Em... I was touched..."

'But I know, any feelings between him and me will just be in vain.'

"Then, everything returns to normal. I'm comfortable with him, that's all."

"If that strange person doesn't like bothering me, maybe I'm comfortable with him too." Aruna explained.

"Is that true?"

"Come on, you have to be honest with your sister so that I can help you."

"Sis, sometimes you really... Ah, forget it." Aruna hesitated to say something.

For a moment, Alia was wiping her tears as fast as lightning so that Aruna didn't know.

"I can get through this. Take it easy... your sister is very tough." Aruna smiled reassuringly.

"Oh ya, how was that dinner? Did Aditya really propose to you?" Aruna changed the subject.

Alia seemed affected, excited to show her sweet finger-ring. 

"Wow... It's beautiful! Let me see it." Aruna was holding the ring of her idol partner, Aditya and Alia.

"Wait... Wait a minute..." Alia turned to look at Aruna's finger.

"Didn't that strange CEO give you a ring?" Alia looked emotional.

"Hehe, I'm even grateful he didn't give me things like that."

'I will look like the pet he ties.'

"Let me tell him!" Alia affirmed.

"That person is busy all the time, so that he neglects this important thing." Alia felt that her sister was being wasted.

"Nope! You don't need to do that."

'I will be confused looking for reasons, so I don't have to wear it.' Aruna smiled in hidden bitterness.

The Lesmana family's youngest daughter, at first determined to meet her father that she wanted to address her inability to keep the family wedding vows. 

She almost did it.

Somehow, the chat with her sister made her realise that her wish was clearly impossible.

"This time, I will no longer tolerate you! We have been working all night because of your strange request."

"So, you have to be completely honest with yourself and believe in us now. If you can't do it, please find another psychiatrist."

"It's better I help many people who sincerely queue for my help, than dealing with a stubborn patient like you!" Diana was already exhausted enough by Hendra's crazy demands.

The special patient didn't want his partner to know that he had Post-Traumatic Disorder Syndrome even though the girl was Diana's initial plan who could cure the Wenceslas's sole heir.

"Hey... How could a psychiatrist threaten a patient?!"  Hendra grumbled.

"Why not?! When the patient is as annoying as Wiryo's grandson." Diana chirped.

"Hehe... Don't be angry... The folds under your eyes will increase." Hendra joked at Diana.

Hendra's joke made Diana stunned for a moment.

'What happened? Where did he learn to joke? So the photos his grandfather sent were not just photos to erase rumours, as his secretary reported?'

"Natasya, bring me their photos!" Diana asked one of her team to hurry up.

Hendra laid down, relaxed, in the chair prepared by Diana. 

Actually, his behaviour this time was quite interesting. This man usually needed to be forced. If he wanted to, he would be a little stiff to just lay on the chair.

"You need to know, I was the one who pushed Elder Wiryo to give you options." Diana's words made Hendra's pupils widened. He was curious about what it meant.

"Between this girl and the artist you are experimenting with." Diana's speech began to change. It meant that the doctor was working. 

She suddenly changed just because of a simple joke that Hendra just said. It was far from her little boy's habit, Diana's favourite patient. 

The doctor had memorised every change in Hendra's behaviour. She had studied it for years. At the first meeting after a long time, her little boy didn't change much, except lately, his behaviour was quite surprising.

"Oh, no wonder, I found it strange when grandpa gave me an offer instead of an order." Hendra just found out the truth.

"That means I take responsibility for your marriage with this girl. So let's open up to each other." Diana asked for understanding.

"What do you want to know about?"

"Why don't you want... Emm Aruna is her name?" Hendra nodded in response to Diana's words.

"Why is Aruna not allowed to know about your syndrome?" Diana looked serious.

"At first, I covered it because of prestige, but now, I do it because I don't want her to be more afraid of me."

"I want to make her comfortable. Yeah... even though the reality always fails." Hendra seemed to speak from his heart. 

What a surprise for Diana that his little boy now had deep feelings.

"Has Aruna made you fall in love?" Diana asked for more information. 

Three other members of Diana's team were also curious. The people put down their work and started eavesdropping.

"Honestly, I don't know what it's like to fall in love."

"Is there a definition of being in love, or some sort of indicator so I can do a classification? So that I know, what I'm experiencing can be categorised as falling in love or not?" Hendra's brain was too scientific.

"Hee..."

"Hi hi hi..." The three of Diana's team couldn't help but laugh. They looked at each other with red faces holding back a tingling stomach. 

How could a man who was about to turn 28 years old, with such a handsome face and an extraordinary background, had never been in love? 

Worse, he didn't understand that falling in love was something that the poets could not define. Even the reason why Sigmund Freud became a doctor was to marry the woman he loved. (Quoted from Interesting and Revealing Fact About Freud)

"Huuh..." Diana sighed. 

She forgot that the one she was talking to was Mahendra, his little boy who was always knowledgeable but often mistaken.

"Okay, I changed my question."

"What do you feel when you are near Aruna?" Diana noticed Hendra's expression.

"Em... Sometimes I feel very happy... But sometimes she makes me very sick." Hendra answered.

Diana scrunched up her forehead and said: "hurts??"

"Yes... Sometimes it hurts here." Hendra innocently held his chest.

Diana's three teams could no longer concentrate on their work. They really focused on eavesdropping. This Wenceslas young master was very funny, despite his famously cold and stubborn attitude.

"I actually wanted to see you some time ago. Unfortunately, my schedule is busy. Since we are together... Can I ask you to write a prescription for my illness?" Hendra asked.

"Wait... What kind of pain?" Diana looked confused.

"Yes... What I'm telling you."

"Pain because of Aruna??" Diana closed her eyes for a moment after seeing Hendra nod, she knew her patient was too unique. 

Meanwhile, the three teams began to hold their stomach amusement.

"What kind of pain it is, Hendra?!?" The doctor no longer called him with 'you'

Somehow, the patient looked like a child.

"Aruna has a close male friend. When they were together, my chest suddenly was in great pain and my breath was heavy every now and then. You must have had that painkiller, right?" Hendra explained his feelings with confidence.

"Don't forget to write down my prescription!" He was still confident.

"There is no medicine like that! HENDRAAAAA!!" 

"huhuuh." Doctor Diana was irritated and sighed

"Bwahahaha." Diana's three assistants couldn't help laughing. They were laughing, chuckled. Tio, one of them, beated Firman's shoulder, so excited.
