Chapter 122 - A Special Gift

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.

Aruna pushed Hendra swiftly. That newlywed woke up and tidied themselves up.

"I'm sorry, brother". Said Aruna shyly.

That girl elbowed Hendra's stomach so he'd apologize too.

"I'm sorry too.. Hm.. Brother". It was hard to say the word 'Brother' to the man in front of him. Anantha was Surya's age and he often bullied Surya. But he had to respect Aruna's older brother who often put on a hostile face towards him.

Aruna hurried away, slowly stepped back, and finally walked fast. Hendra followed behind her.

"We'll continue in the room". The blue-eyed teased his wife.

"No..!". Aruna rejected firmly.

"Come on.!". He smiled playfully.

"No!". Her eyes glared.

"Come on, Honey..". He teased boldly.

"Don't call me honey!". The girl stopped and snapped.

"Hoooneee…". This man was playing, pranking on his tiny wife with the phrase honey. Hendra knew Aruna was freaked out with that nickname.

"Once again you call me honey, I'll hit you!". Aruna raised her hand, gave a threat.

And finally, this man was really hit on his chest.

Instead of dodging, he pretended to curl up and fall down as if that blow hurt.

"Don't be dramatic?!". This girl hit him again since he dared to annoy her.

Once again, the blue-eyed curled up, pretending to be in pain.

"Hendra, you're ridiculous!".

"Help me.. It hurts a lot..". He wept ridiculously.

"Hiks hiks hiks..".

The girl finally laughed observing his contract marriage partner's absurd behavior.

"Huh. Seems like that cold human really will be the next president director". A group of people filled the office of their supreme council. Big sofas surrounded a table with classic and sturdy nuance. A room with a deep silver European interior gave the impression of the owner's arrogance.

"Hehe.. We were clearly cheated by that arrogant old man. He was able to deceive us easily. Damn!". Someone among them joined in.

"I've warned you since the beginning. That person won't give his position to those who aren't the rightful heir, moreover not blood-related. That's impossible, really impossible for Wenceslas?".

"Yeah.. How else.. An issue is circulating that the kid was born without a legal marriage. If that's true, Wiryo won't choose him either".

"Seems like that information was circulated by him to deceive us".

A warm discussion accompanied by a cup of bitter coffee became their routine. The smell of coffee seared into the whole room, making someone who was about to enter the room a little hesitant.

This man was fully aware. When the smell of the coffee was too strong, it meant that the number of allied people who were gathering was more than two.

"Sir, has your son arrived?". A bodyguard whispered information to the leader of this coalition.

"Tell him to come in!". He stressed it out with a smirk.

Not long after that, that man was present in the middle of the room. He straightened his back, as his father's order who always asked him to put on a stiff, strong, and mysterious face.

An aura that was far from himself actually. Unfortunately, he was always under his father's shadow or this crazy coalition would move his family from the throne of leadership which was treated in extreme ways.

"What have you got?!". The father asked him the question that he had expected.

"Don't tell me you failed again!". A sentence that paralyzed the fake aura, sad in disgust.

"Is there no other way than to kill?". This man was really bothered and depressed personally.

"You think there is another way other than to end their next generation and take over our rights?". The father stared at him mercilessly and his voice raised.

"If I have another way to take over their power, are you gonna kill them?".

"We'll see.. But I'm not sure about your way to solve this problem, without killing them". Now, the colleague of the family who was really close and more familiar with the nickname 'uncle', began to talk.

"Uncles have tried using the same method for 2 generations, sending a threat. In fact, they still survive, even though our presence hasn't been disclosed. I think there will be times when we'll get caught". The youngest man began to build the frame of mind of the people around him.

"We use a new method, by learning about their weakness first. Then we decide how to immobilize Wenceslas". His voice was more confident.

"I like your son's method.. It seems very plausible. It isn't useless for you to send him overseas to study for a long time". A man in navy suits gave approval.

"Okay, we'll follow your method this time". The father began to give in.

"Ah right. Where did you assign your younger sister now? She said she got a special task from you?". The father asked again.

"Don't worry. Her task isn't tough and she starts to like it. She's not in danger either". The heir to the throne gave an explanation about the whereabouts of his younger sister.

"I suggest you kill Hendra's wife. She's the easiest target to paralyze the old Wiryo and his cold grandchild". The father made an order that he avoided the most.

"I'm sure that girl doesn't have a big influence. She's still very young and seems ordinary. We start learning about her life. Don't touch her for now or they'll really look for our whereabouts blindly. They've been playing safe and calm this time. I'm getting more suspicious how they could survive this far even though we've done many things to paralyze them. I'm afraid they have something beyond our comprehension".

"If you underestimate my words, let's count together. How many times Wiryo was able to escape and now his grandchild always escapes. Last time, that weak girl even escaped".

The European-style room with shades of silver was adorned by faces that immersed in their own mind.

Candidates for heir to the throne of a two-generation coalition. Bringing a new way to paralyze the enemy of the family which was passed down to him. Enemies who personally didn't have any correlation at all.

He took a deep breath and exhaled. Exhaled the smell of coffee that pierced the nose.

Happy birthday, Aruna!

Happy birthday, Aruna!

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday, Aruna…

Lesmana's family dinner became their version of a small birthday party but made the Wenceslas's heir, Mahendra, so amazed. A new world that was unusually warm. Fortunately, he didn't drag his wife home. He was sure the whole family would've hated him if this 7-day-son-in-law had dared to bring the youngest home arbitrarily earlier this afternoon. That girl got hugs and kisses from the whole family.

She even blew a 20-shaped candle with a cheerful bright face. Hendra had experienced this, vaguely remembering it when he was 4 or 5 years old. When his mother hadn't experienced a major depression.

One by one, Aruna's family brought out colorfully wrapped gifts, including their 4 household assistants. Two securities and both of Hendra's bodyguards were forced to gather. They all sat in the same room, even sat on similar chairs.

It was a rare occasion in Hendra's eyes. Only Surya who could be like this in Wenceslas's tradition, since Surya had a special place: became Hendra's spokesman on his family dinner. Because the grandchild wasn't willing to let his voice out when being asked by his family members, grandmother, especially the arrogant grandfather, Wiryo.

The blue-eyed was too busy. He observed the surroundings. It turned out that those meaningless balloons and small lamps could be warm accessories. Like an alien who just arrived on earth and tried to understand.

"Hendra..". His wife called, disturbing him from the activity of the brain neurons that were wandering to set up new patterns as a result of being overly amazed by the surrounding spatial space.

"Hendra!". He was disturbed once again.

"Hmm..". Only that response came out of his mouth. Then his eyes moved, finding consciousness. His wife's family members stared closely at him.

"Ah. What's going on? What's wrong with me?". He knew that stare was asking for an explanation.

"He often forgets.. But I know, tomorrow he'll definitely buy a special gift for me". Aruna grinned, realizing that Hendra would end up that way.

"Oh, gift.. Gift for you?". He asked the tiny girl who tried to calm down her family.

"Don't worry, I've prepared the best one".

"That's why I'm asking permission to take Aruna back to the main house".

"Because I've prepared a perfect special gift in our personal room".

Hendra's words made the whole Lesmana family dumbfounded.

His wife stepped on Hendra's foot, really strong.

"Why did you step on my foot??".

The wife blushed and covered her face.

_You're indeed a crazy CEO_ Aruna cursed over and over again silently. If her family members had disappeared suddenly, maybe she would've already killed this contract marriage husband.

Her whole family definitely were imagining the special gift from Aruna's husband wasn't far from : 'A Hot Night'.

_Damn! I'll kill you after this_

_Argh…!! Unlucky.. Unlucky.._ Lesmana's youngest daughter could only curse behind his family's wish to say a prayer at the turn of the age to 20 years old.
