Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knock on the door kept Tristan from closing his eyes. Slowly he approached the door. I don't know who's been interfering with Tristan's plans to sleep.
Check!
"Here, sir, the cosmetics and the credit card," said Saman. He bought the cosmetics of the shopkeeper's choice who said it was the best product. At Tristan's orders, Saman bought the most expensive and the best. Saman just prays, hopefully Haruna likes it.
"Thank you. Please tell Mrs. Sin to prepare dinner," Tristan ordered.
"Yes, sir." Saman went to the kitchen and told Sinta Tristan's message.
While waiting for Sinta to prepare dinner, Tristan went to wash himself in the bathroom. Today for the first time Tristan will give a gift to a woman. Usually Tristan just gave the girls money. Tristan didn't care what they were going to buy with the money. Haruna is a different girl from the girls he's been dating so far. Haruna wouldn't want to accept money from Tristan. Tristan chooses to buy Haruna's needs himself rather than giving money.
Finishing washing his body, Tristan wore a black tight shirt and loose pants of the same color. The shirt prints every curve of Tristan's stout body. It is clear that Tristan really takes care of his body fitness. Once a week, he regularly exercises.
Tristan went into the dining room carrying a small grocery bag containing a set of cosmetics. He told Sinta to call Haruna to eat.
"Get her down!" Tristan ordered.
Sinta went to Haruna's room.
"Miss, let's eat! Master is waiting," said Sinta.
"Mrs. Sin, am I beautiful already?" Haruna asked.
"Very beautiful. Guaranteed to make the master fascinated. You are very beautiful even without makeup," said Sinta with raised thumbs. Sinta feels very close to Haruna. As if Haruna was her daughter. Sinta absentmindedly looked at Haruna's smile. That smile resembled someone she knew.
"Mrs. Sin, why are you daydreaming?" asked Haruna who was surprised to see Sinta daydreaming while looking at herself.
"It's okay. Come on down!" Sinta took Haruna's hand.
You know, this morning Tristan kissed Haruna roughly. Haruna didn't want what happened this morning to happen again. She also followed Sinta's advice to be nice to Tristan. Although very sick of seeing Tristan, Haruna tries to keep Tristan from seeing her hatred.
Haruna sat beside Tristan. She didn't say anything. Haruna was just busy eating her food. She had already seen the small bag placed on the empty seat beside Tristan, but Haruna pretended not to know.
"This!" Tristan thrust the bag in front of Haruna after Haruna finished eating her food.
"What?" Haruna asked curtly.
"Cosmetics. You need cosmetics, right?"
"Is that true?" Haruna pretended to be surprised and immediately grabbed the bag with a sweet smile on her lips.
Deg!
Haruna's smile was like an angel's smile, so calm and immersive. Tristan wanted to devour those thin pink lips without lipstick greedily. However, Tristan is afraid to make Haruna hate him again. He was very happy to see Haruna's smile and he didn't want to spoil it. Tristan thought Haruna would like his gift, but he was wrong. Haruna looks sullen and frowns when she opens the bag and looks at its contents.
"Is there something missing? I'll tell Saman to buy it again," said Tristan softly. Seeing Haruna's smile disappear, Tristan's heart became sad.
"I don't want to wear it," said Haruna as she got up and was about to leave the dining room.
"That's the most expensive and best cosmetic in Indonesia. Do you want to buy something overseas? I can take you there," Tristan offered.
"The best and the most expensive doesn't mean it matches my skin. I don't buy my cosmetics abroad. Do you think I can go abroad just to buy cosmetics," said Haruna. He pretended to be spoiled.
"Okay, I was wrong. I'm sorry," Tristan said.
Sinta and Haruna were surprised to hear Tristan apologizing in a soft voice. As long as he had known Tristan, he had been very arrogant and cold. His attitude was always annoying, but since this afternoon Tristan had always spoken in a soft tone.
{So right, I have to be nice if I want Tristan to be nice. Alright, let's do the next test.}
"If you take me out, I'll forgive you," Haruna said while flashing a seductive smile.
Tristan walked over to Haruna. He stepped forward with a sharp and intimidating gaze. Tristan put his hands in his pants pockets.
Haruna backed away slowly out of fear. Until finally Haruna's body was cornered on the wall. She closed her eyes tightly. Her hands gripped the hem of the umbrella skirt she was wearing.
{Oh my. Did I make him mad again?} Haruna murmured.
Tristan stopped two steps in front of Haruna then leaned over forward. Tristan whispered beside Haruna's ear.
"Don't do such seductive poses! Or I'll go wild." Tristan straightened himself up again.
"You, you ugly man!" Haruna sneered while turning his face away. She wanted to curse Tristan, but she held it in. For the purpose of being free.
"Since this afternoon, I feel you are acting strange. I'm not a stupid man, so tell me what you want? If you try to seduce me to get out of this house, then don't ever dream," said Tristan with a smirk.
"I just want to be nice so you don't torture me," Haruna replied. Haruna wouldn't say her true intentions. She will do it slowly of course. Hopefully, Tristan doesn't find out about it before she can truly be free and run away with her family later.
"Okay. I believe your word. Then, where do you want to go out?" Tristan asked. He spoke softly again.
"Go to the mall, buy cosmetics," said Haruna with her face made as cute as possible. During her life, this is the first time Haruna has to seduce a man. Plus this man was a man she hated the most. However, Haruna did it anyway. Whatever she will do as long as the goal is achieved. She must be free from Tristan's entanglement. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in a cold house like this.
"That's all? Don't want anything else?"
"No," said Haruna curtly.
"I'll take my coat first. We'll go after that," said Tristan as he went up the stairs.
After Tristan left, Sinta and Haruna gave a high five while smiling triumphantly. After buying cosmetics, Haruna will seduce Tristan to stop by Kamal's house. Haruna really misses her family. She didn't want to worry her family either. Haruna will do her best to get Tristan to let her return home. She just needed to tell her family to be patient. For now, Haruna is only focused on winning Tristan's heart. If she has already won his heart, then Haruna can control Tristan.
