Aruna smiled widely and pulled her best friend in. Lily was startled when she caught Aruna's husband expression. For Lily, Hendra got negative impressions. Some incidents had been through related with that CEO of Wenceslas Group were not encouraging ones, like when Hendra and his guards rummaged Magic Letter to look for Aruna's cell phone, not coming other unimpressive ones.
_How could this over protective man was with Aruna again?_
Lily just knew that Aruna was gone yesterday when she was in Dea's wedding. She even had not taken many pictures enough with all her friends. She asked Dea where Aruna was, Dea simply said that Aruna was running for her love. It turned out now that this young scary master was with her. Had she known that she would have met Aryuna's husband, she would not have helped her to bring her clothes here.
"Who told you could have your friend here?" That deep voice held Lily still.
_I am dead_ Hendra scared her off. That girl stood stiffly unable to move.
"She is my best friend, Hendra," His wife ignored him. "Why did not you buy me sme clothes, then?" again the woman with brown eyes chattered her protest.
He followed both women until they were ended on a sofa. Aruna searched through the backpack her best friend brought with her.
Meanwhile, Lily still had not put off her odd glasses, yet. She feared that Hendra's harp eyes would stared at her like a blue laser so that she needed a protection. If she took off her glasses she believed that the blue laser would attack her slanted eyes without mercy, and she did not want it.
"Aruna , where are you going?" Lily gripped Aruna's skirt strongly. She did not want to be left alone with Hendra who was so much intimidating her with his sharp eyes.
"Look at my dress! I am still wearing the bridesmaid clothes since yesterday. I will not be long, okay?" She ran lightly to her bedroom with Lily's backpack. Aruna did not notice a blink that her best friend was so much afraid of her husband.
"ARUNAAA..!!" she screamed when Hendra moved slowly to her seat. Hendra was dithered and hurriedly pulled out some tissues and pushed it in her mouth to shut her up. Poor Lily. She was helpless when Hendra was a bit mischievous.
But Hendra was not being mischievous at all. He was quite serious.
"Wait a moment please. I am about to finish," Aruna replied loudly to Lily's panic call.
Meanwhile outside the room: "Shut up! And listen to me!" Hendra was getting more intimidating for for the girl with pink helmet. .
"I will not do anything bad to you," As he spoke he took away tissues from her mouth.
"I just want you to promise me something," He pulled out another tissue to clean his hands. The word 'promise' made Lily's heart went calm a little. At least she did not feel being threatened with his scary blue eyes.
"Promise me you will never tell anyone that Aruna lives here, in this mansion with me," Hendra spoke and stressed on some important points for that girl to understand
"You both are back together now?" Lily smiled because her best friend would reunite with her husband. Dammar had registered to a university in Yogyakarta, the city of Gudeg (very famous typical food). Surely she would not let this very rich CEO go as well. Aruna made a good choice. Lily nodded and she was also happy for her best friend. For the last two months, she had been so much depressed, never ending sadness, and was so hard to talk with. So, this was what Dea meant by pursuing her love to this possessive man.
Hendra nodded shortly before another threat was brought up, "If anyone knows this secret," He locked the helmet pink girl with his stares, "You are the first person I am looking for,"
Lily made a gesture of locking her mouth, "Are you reunited secretly?" Such curiosity was impossible to control.
"I am just asking you to lock your mouth, not to ask questions!"
Aruna's best friend blew her pony tail with her mouth in a funny way. She was annoyed with that CEO. Too bad she could not repay his bad treatment on her.
"Only one thing you must do, close your mouth!" He threatened her again. "And one more thing," Before he could finish his words, Aruna came out of the room. And in an instant, the face of that CEO changed, cheerful and relaxed, while only a few second ago he was about to send his wife's best friend away.
Seeing that change Lily curled her upper lip to scorn him. "And what is another else, Mr. Hendra?"
Hendra smiled drily to see the his wife's friend had gut over him. Lily might think that he would try not to scold her, but she was wrong. "And one other thing, go home now. I want to be with my wife only, unless you want to be unwanted guest."
"Hendra!!" His wife snapped his words.
"Hehe, it is alright Aruna. I am about to go home," Lily replied quickly. _ I want to get away from this place with your annoying husband_
That girl stood up quickly and Aruna followed her. But before she could walk, her husband pulled her clothes and she fell back on his lap. "She is a grown up. No need to take her to the door," Hendra was really annoying with his attitude. For a moment he got touches n his chest, down to his stomach, then he was pinched painfully.
"You asked for it! It was me who asked for a help, how could my husband behaved impolitely to her?! Not even a thank. You need to upgrade your characters!" She kept pinching him without mercy.
He was complaining of both pain and tickled, finally he let her go.
Before she kept up with Lily, her best friend came back with her hands being locked by her husband's guard. Herry caught her because she bumped into his master's car but then she ran away.
"Aruna please help me," that girl was crying.
"Herry, let her go," Aruna came closer to her friend.
"I will if my master allow me to," He did not move an inch with his lock, while the girl in his hand was crying in pain.
"Hen.."Hendra turned away listening to his wife request. "Ughhh…poor my tummy…" as he said he gestured to stroke his tummy where the pinches were.
"Darling….."Aruna seduced him,. She stroked his arms softly.
Hendra glanced at her hand. a moment later he looked at Lily and his guard. "Bring all my documents in and list of my requests this morning as well," Hendra stood up and gestured his guard to let that girl's hands go. Instantly, Herry released his gripped.
"And you, help Herry to buy food supplies as many as possible for my refrigerator," He handed his card to Herry.
Lily looked around to find where the fridge was. _Oh my God, so big_ Lily blew out air from her lungs loudly. Aruna protested to her husband but he ignored her and showed off his annoying smile. Once he wanted something, he would insist to get it done.
Aruna did not know that actually he wanted his guard to be helped for the shopping stuffs. Herry was good in self defense but he was not as good as Surya in handling things. Making used of Lily's unknown was an advantage for him. His luxury car was protected with insurance anyway. Nothing was to worry about._ It was so easy to fool Lily_ he thought.
Herry hurriedly left with her best friend as soon as he placed all the documents and files on the table. Meanwhile, Hendra went to the pantry to prepare meal for his wife.
Her eyes attuned to a different file placed on top. Aruna did not want to touch it, but her curiosity was so huge she could not beat it.
"Honey, come over here..let us eat," Hendra called her.
"Wait a minute," She wanted to come to the caller. Unfortunately she was too much curious. Slowly she opened the proposal of decoration concept for a party with all the details. Aruna was not a fool n such design management of a party. She often worked together with EOs although he responsibilities were to prepare accessories and invitation cards.
Her heart beat uncontrollably when she saw rings carved MHD and Nana. The symbol MHD represented Mahendra. The brown eyes put the files down. She was frozen for some moment until another call awoken her. She walked limply to respond the call. Her body was shaking but she tried to overcome and press all the emotion down.
