Chapter 175 - Graffiti

"Your life… So complicated!".

"Whatever!".

"But you must also eat!". Aruna ordered, forcing Hendra to open his mouth. She even held that man's jaw so that his mouth would open.

"Not bad". He said after one mouthful entered his mouth.

"See, I told you!". Aruna taught him to enjoy rubbish snacks.

When the meatballs were only a few spoons left: "sometimes there's a mixture of rat meat in it so the price is only Rp.15,000". Aruna spoke casually, disturbing him.

Hendra actually vomited his food.

"Hahaha". Aruna burst out laughing until there were tears in between her eyelids, seeing the young master in a mess because of the little lie she did.

"Haha.. You're a fool for believing me. Haha". This woman was still laughing nonstop.

"Damn it! You made me choke". Hendra felt bullied. He grabbed that girl's body and held her. She wasn't allowed to move.

"Sorry.. Let me go, young master. Forgive this weak girl..". They disturbed each other.

"Call me honey!".

"My handsome honey!".

"Hehe.. Say it again!".

.

.

"Aruna, what's this place?". The young master, who didn't know how to enjoy life, asked.

"Just come along.. Don't ask too many questions!". That girl said to him. They went up to the highest floor of an uninhabited old building. That man's face was scared. There were many unimportant writings on the wall. He was completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

This woman took out the equipment she wanted earlier. They were hunting pylox around the city. She asked the blue-eyed man to sit still and not ask too many questions.

The design student girl fiddled with the pylox in her hands. Hendra knew she was making graffiti, but it wasn't clear what words she'd write on that old wall.

Even that tiny one dragged the dirty table not far from her and went up to that table. Slowly, the abstract writing begant to be seen. It was getting closer to an end. The man who was sitting still slowly stood closer.

H E N D R A

Aruna made a graffiti of his name. He was stunned. A beautiful gift with the dawn that slowly greeted.

"How? Do you like it?". The woman, who spent almost two hours making it, asked.

He hugged his wife from behind, ignoring the pylox-splattered hands and clothes.

_You're the one who taught me many things, slowly healed my illness, showed me how to enjoy life, and I'm getting more afraid of losing you_

"Really like". Mahendra answered. It was too special for him.

"This is compensation for my husband who's been very good at taking care of me lately. Even though sometimes he's also annoying. Hehe". Aruna said.

"The second compensation. I decided to go on a honeymoon with you".

"In Lombok?".

"No. Like my original request, in Bali. Let's invite Mr. Surya and some bodyguards who have to look after us. It must be fun".

"That's not called a honeymoon, but a vacation".

"It's okay. I feel safe if it's like that, guarded by many people. I can scream if you do something to me".

"Hehe. They won't help you either if I do anything. You're my wife!".

"Ah, right.. The conditions are still the same. Don't touch me carelessly. I hope you obey our marriage agreement".

"Stingy".

"Whatever".

.

"Hen, let's go home! I'm sleepy". This woman fell asleep along their way home. It was no longer night that greeted, but the morning down had turned red on the eastern horizon.

***

Beep beep beep. The sound of the telephone had been heard several times. Even the VVIP room door of Wenceslas group's sole heir had been knocked repeatedly but the residents in it weren't willing to get up yet. Hendra and Aruna were still asleep since early morning.

The sun was no longer greeting. It was already laughing cheerfully out there, giving a warm feeling to the residents of the metropolitan city. It seemed that the warmth was also greeting the two creatures who were hugging each other in their sleep. They didn't realize that it would end like this, considering that the girl wasn't pleased to be accompanied last night. Let alone to be hugged like this by her own husband. In fact, it was the woman who hugged the chest of the angel, someone who managed to make a warm impression by taking her for a walk through freedom last night.

"Hendra, let's go out again tomorrow. Okay?". She asked in sleepiness.

"Yes.. As long as you're cheerful again". The driver at the front replied.

"Are you happy today?". Aruna asked.

"So happy". Hendra said.

"Me too..". The woman whispered.

"You're not as awkward as I thought. Sorry, I've been wrong all this time". She added.

"You're also not as difficult as I thought. It seems like it's my fault.. I rarely  allow you to enjoy life outside the main house. That must be what makes you tired and not as warm as before". Hendra's voice was blown by the air and just flew away. He smiled to himself realizing his back was getting heavier because his girl had flown into dreamland.

***

"You know I've let her go". This young man said, presenting a gummy smile.

"It hurts, but life must be realistic. There's also another feeling behind the pain, which is relief". He added. Tobacco that flew into the air gave a distinctive smell that stuck everywhere.

"No story is the same. Nothing is easier and lighter". The man with long hair put out his cigarette. He looked at the cellphone in his hand that was making loud noises, then immediately turned it off.

"Me and Syakila were together for six years. Which one is more difficult than a relationship without a status that you have?". He, who was realistic, tried to shake the heart of the other person to accept reality.

"Were you together all the time?". The long-haired man asked while sipping coffee in front of him. He let that hair cover him. A thick scarf wrapped around his neck on a warm day to protect him from the fanatic fans or a group of curious people due to the hot issues that were spread by the media. He was ready to hide at any time.

"I've been close to her since high school. Then I went overseas to study for four years. We still visited each other. On the sixth month after I came home, we ended our relationship because of that stupid engagement". He explained. That girl was in a mess. She locked herself in her room and was ignored by her family. The Baskoro family and Tarantula group both wanted a marriage to enlarge their business.

Letting a daughter fall apart or a company going down is just as complicated. A messed up child is natural for them. They, the power holders from the company or the symbols of honor, were growing steadily.

"She.. gave me everything when I was tired of living life with my mother. Everything. My diet, my college alarm, and all the rhythm of my life was Aruna. We have no ties but our togetherness was more than all ties". He explained.

"If I could be realistic, I would've left a long time ago. The more I go, the more my life is ruined. She's my goal. She'll return in two years and I'm the first person to welcome her in the same place". He added.

"If the thing you want doesn't happen in two years, how?". The gummy smile asked.

"The important thing is that I've tried to get there because leaving her has a severe impact on my soul. I've tried and I couldn't".

"You're going to survive with this madness?".

"Not only surviving. It's where I want to be, because I find my purpose in life this way".

"Then what about her? Don't you feel sorry for her? Actually, she's the one who suffers the most. You and her husband are holding her hostage. It's just that you don't seem real. Think about my words!". This young man with extraordinary style was one of the bodyguards who always observed Aruna's movements while he was assigned to the main house. He observed so that he could become her bodyguard, but he knew that the girl kept a lot of sadness in her slowly changing attitude.

"Oh. What time is it?". The CEO of the Wenceslas Group tried to wake up from his sleep. There was a woman who was resting on his hand. This man was trying to reach for the cellphone on the nightstand.

_Oh my God.. So many people contacted me_

His telephone list was filled with Surya, the mayor, and the leaders of the D floor, among others.

***

"Hello! Juan, where are you?".

"Is there anything I can help?".

"Take care of my wife. She's still sleeping in my private room in Wenceslas Ritz hotel".

"Okay". Aruna's bodyguard answered.

Hendra lowered the body in his arms slowly. He got up as gently as possible, hoping the tiny one would still be asleep in her dream.
