Chapter 121 - Possessive

"Really?? You're the project designer alone?". A question that actually didn't need to be answered, since the questioner already knew the answer.

"For now, yeah. But in fact, we just recruited another project designer".

"Can I go there someday?".

"Of course, please do".

"How?? You're interested, right??". This time, Anantha was the one who talked, asking Gibran a question

"Yeah, really interesting".

"Gibran.. Do you know how old my sister is? She's only turning 20 years old tonight".

"Wow.. So young.. I know you look young, but I didn't think you're that young".

"Hehe". Aruna's laughter accompanied their next conversation, didn't realize that someone was getting closer to them.

"But she's already married". That voice surprised everyone.

"Can I join here?". Hendra suddenly interrupted and sat near Aruna.

"Yeah.. An unintentional marriage". Ananta's sentence ignited the blue-eyed, making those eyes couldn't stop staring at him.

"Really? My other younger sibling was supposed to be the one who got married, but this tiny one was kind enough to replace her. Even worse, my father couldn't avoid this weird wedding". Anantha was also ignited by Mahendra's unpleasant stare.

"Brother..". Aruna rubbed her older brother's knee, hoping Anantha would reduce his sharp expressions that he launched non-stop towards Hendra.

Gibran caught this unpleasant situation calmly. Seemed like he already knew the real condition.

"Seems like Hendra and I need to.. Eh..".

The youngest one was confused and awkward about what she was supposed to do. Her husband and older brother began to spit out hot steam.

"Just go, tiny.. I'm already fed up being stared by young master".

Aruna didn't know what to talk and what to do. Fortunately, her older brother was willing to give in.

"Next time, hope we can continue this conversation. I'm really interested. I really hope we can work together". Gibran's closing greeting was adorned with his familiar smile.

"Thanks". Aruna replied that smile while reaching Hendra's wrist, hoping Hendra would follow her to stay away.

"I feel like he's familiar. Seems like I've seen him". Gibran tried to collect his memories.

"Of course. Who doesn't know him.". Ananda confirmed Gibran's sentence.

"Who is your sister's husband anyway?".

"He's Wenceslas Group's heir".

"Obviously, suits my expectation. Oh, I mean, suits my mind".

.

.

"Always like this.. Can you make your anger alarm go away?".

"Anger alarm??".

"Yes, Hendra! You need to reduce it. Your emotion keeps changing every time. It can suddenly ring and explode only by touching it".

"I'm just acting like a normal husband. How can you talk with another man without telling me?".

"He's just my older brother's friend, Hendra. Reduce your possessiveness!".

"What?? You're saying that I'm possessive??".

"Why does everyone tell me that?". Hendra didn't understand, but he thought that he was in the right position.

"Because you're indeed like that".

"What does possessive mean? I don't even understand what it means, but I'm always accused of being possessive?". He really didn't understand.

"Look for it by yourself. You're indeed a very complicated human".

He really did the simple sentence that was said by Aruna. He looked for its meaning.

[Possessive is a condition where someone doesn't feel secure with the relationship that he's in. Because he doesn't feel confident and afraid of the presence of someone who's better than him, who'll steal his partner]. (https: kelascinta.com)

_Ah, it's really me. I can't dodge anymore_

_How else? Aruna is my only treasure, a new dream in my life_

The mind of someone who wasn't allowed to have dreams. Always chased by the fear of missing, even though he hadn't even owned Aruna completely.

[Don't Misunderstand. Here Are 7 Differences of Possessive and Protective, Bro!]. (Another article that attracted Hendra's heart)

Protective means protecting, possessive only cares about ownership

Protective doesn't forbid, possessive restricts strictly

Protective means monitoring without interfering, possessive involves too far

Protective means trusting, possessive means doubting

Protective will be just fine when knowing you're doing activities, possessive will give you a lot of questions

Protective will give you chances, possessive will constantly hold back

Protective won't forbid friendship with the opposite sex, possessive will strictly forbid it.

_Oh. I need to learn to be protective, not possessive. Wait! Why do all of the explanations put me in a possessive position? Maybe this article misunderstands. Isn't it important she knows that she's mine? Why does that article say: shouldn't only care about ownership?? And doesn't forbid opposite sex friendship?? Wow, it doesn't make sense. I can't do this?!_

Hendra didn't agree that he was possessive, but he didn't completely like the explanations of protective.

"Hendra, do you want to play games? Don't keep playing handphone!".

Aruna threw the game stick towards him. She began to turn on Gran Turismo 4 (GT4), her favorite racing car game.

That man took the stick that fell near him while observing it carefully.

"I've never played using this thing at all".

"Are you a real alien?? You don't know a game stick??".

"I know, even my company have produced it. But I've never played it yet".

"You really never play it? What did you fill your childhood with, Hendra?? If not childhood, your teenage years?! What did you do??".

"I did self-defense, all kinds of sports, reading books, learning specific musical instruments, and was sent to my grandfather's company in turns. Oh, I also joined other private courses like leadership management, public speaking, too many.. I can't count". This man remembered his childhood and teenage years.

"Boring!". Aruna was annoyed because he was too different.

"But I can learn it, I'll try".

Hendra paid attention to that stick again : "Can I try it once?".

"Okay! Whatever".

That man really tried it. He pressed few buttons on the game stick. Going forward, going back, bending a few times, sharp turn trial. When there was a mound, he used the car in the game to jump then repeated it two times.

"Okay, I'm ready!". That man only needed time around 5 minutes then suddenly he felt that he already mastered many things.

"Try beating  me if you can".

"What do I get if I can beat you?".

"You haven't won yet, but already asking for something!!"

"It'd be more interesting if we bet. Moreover, if the bet is a kiss, wow, really enjoyable".

"Such a pervert!! Only that in your brain?".

"I've said it last night.. Getting a kiss every time is my dream".

"Crazy.. The other, please!!". Aruna protested. Actually, this husband and wife were already competing on the track while exchanging their nonsense talks.

Aruna was dumbfounded. The crazy CEO indeed had a fast learning ability. Aruna felt that his car racing ability was the best, except when she competed with Damar.

Hendra only tried once, not more than 5 minutes, but he was already skillful at competing with her. He even had left Aruna's car with that serious face.

"Come on.. What will you give? Looks like I'm the winner".

This girl couldn't accept it, then she covered Hendra's view. She stood in front of Hendra who sat comfortably on the sofa.

"What are you doing?? Move..!! Move..!! You're gonna make me lose".

The blue-eyed's car was really left behind : "move!!"

He pushed Aruna's body to get her out of his way.

This girl was smiling behind her effort to look for loopholes and staring at TV.

Because Wiryo's grandchild knew that he'd lose due to Lesmana's daughter's cheating.

Hendra was so annoyed.

He reached the tiny body in front of him and pushed her to the sofa.

He tickled Aruna's stomach.

"Hahaha.. Hendra, don't do that. It's ticklish..".

"Aw.. Haha.. It's ticklish..!"

"I'm gonna attack you with 100 kisses since you dared to cheat on Wenceslas Group's CEO".

"Haha..". Lesmana's daughter laughed, in between feeling happy since she finally could prank Hendra and feeling ticklish since the crazy CEO tickled her while trying to find Aruna's face. The blue-eyed was hoping to land his lips on the cheek of the woman who destructed his logic.

"Hendra, move.. Go away…".

This girl hid her face behind the chair pillow while pushing Hendra's face a few times.

But the man didn't want to lose. He reached that pillow and attacked Aruna again.

That girl covered her face with both hands.

"If you don't move your hands, I'll keep tickling you".

"Forgive me.. Haha.. Hen.. Stop.. Hendra..!!". Aruna felt too ticklish and gave up. Those tiny hands hadn't been opened yet but this man already attacked her.

"Muah.. Muah muah muah..". He kissed Aruna's cheek on the same spot multiple times.

The laughter of this newlywed really made the listeners thrilled. It was spread to the whole living room on the first floor, Lesmana's house.

It delivered a sigh of relief for the father and mother of the girl who became a replacement bride of the Wenceslas Group's sole heir.

Unfortunately, that naughty voice disturbed the older brother. Anantha came in a huff : "Could you move to the room? I'm receiving a guest!".

Anantha's face was caught in horror. He saw his younger sister under a man who looked up because he just kissed his younger sister.
