"Please.. don't be too long,"
"Relaxed…let me work…you just stay still and enjoy it,"

A guard was walking toward a friend who used to be in the profession as him. That guard was Herry. He greeted his friend by tapping on his shoulder.
"Hi," Herry needed to catch this man. He had been looked for by his young master, especially after the tragedy of Aruna's disappearing. Hearsay, he was her savior.
"Oh Hi... Herry??" That man was shocked .His expression was wary. He moved back several inches as if he did not want and did not expect that meeting.
Unfortunately Herry was not aware that in their short meeting, that man who was known as Juan was able to send short messages to a woman he was walking with.
[Syakila, I have an important issue. Please leave this place quietly]
[Are we caught up?]
[No, unfortunately this is more serious than that. I am facing complicated issue]
[Okay, be careful] Syakila did not need to ask further, she left his secret lover. Syakilla was the fiancée of Juan big brother. So it could be imagined what kind of forbidden relationship they were having, things they were not supposed to do.
.
"Mr. Hendra is looking for you. Where have you been going so far?" Herry spoke up in relaxed but ever ready position, in case the man in front of him managed to escape from him.
"I have resigned as a personal guard. Why am I still looked for?" he squinted his eyes trying to catch the point of the talk.
"As far as I know you were gone with the wind without any information about quitting,"
"I said good bye to the Elder Chief directly. I was extraordinarily good that the Chief allowed me to see him," Since his first coming to join in Wenceslas Group as a guard, he had a special and unique place in that circle.
Slowly he took of his sling bag and searched for any gap or angles where he could trick Herry. Then in a very sudden movement, he threw that sling bag right to Herry's face. Herry automatically dithered and before he could react, the bag owner pulled his bag quickly and ran as fast as he could. The scene of two men chasing to each other was unavoidable. Herry and other aides had an agenda to find out where the aide of Ms. Aruna 's favorite had gone.
Hearsay, he was the one who helped save Aruna. Unfortunately, his existence was undetected since then. Until today, Herry had be able to catch the mysterious fugitive called Juan.
"Thud! Thud!" Juan lunged Herry with his leg. But he seemed to forget who his opponent was. Herry was an ex wrestler, so it was very easy for Herry to repulse and landed his fist at once. Juan fell off heavily and almost passed out.
"What do you want for me?" Juan tried to stand up after a big blow landed on his face.
"Very simple. Go with me to meet my master. My master just wants to know where you are right now,"
"Oh', that is all?"Juan stood up on his feet again. Herry fully concentrated on watching him. He was walking one step behind Juan. His hand gripped Juan's firmly.
Many times he was trying to turn into a crowded hallway , and several times Herry pulled him back to secure his hostage. Until they finally came to unavoidable crowd and Juan used that chance perfectly. He moved stealthily into the mass of people so that Herry's lock was a bit opened. Herry was not quickly enough to lock again when they were among the discount hunters . "Juan, stop it!" Herry yelled and after his target. Both were running to the lift to the ground floor.
Herry was right. The man named Juan was heading to the ground floor where the main door was. Juan ran to the lobby of the mall. A car driven by a woman was waiting right in front the of the lobby exit. She opened the front door as Juan race toward her. Juan opened the front door, sat safely and smiled at Herry who was too far to reach the exit.
"Crap!'," Herry swung his hand to the air of annoyance and upset.

"Oohh…how stupid I am…" the blue eyed man shook the body of the again, woman lay helplessly. No response. Again and again he shook her body but there was no sign that she would open her eyes.
He hugged that body tightly in his arms and slowly but in full fear, he struggled to make that woman awoken. He cursed himself for not listening to her warning that she was very tired. But he was too enthusiastic. "I am so sorry Aruna…please wake up,"
***
[He did not go home for two nights, finishing his office work from a distance. Where is Hendra going?] Angry mood was thrown to someone at another end, under Wenceslas Ritz Hotel.
[I have no right to look for him. It is his right!]
[You said you would always help me]
[I am helping you because you are Leona big sister. That doesn't mean I will always follow your requests]
[I have promised I will bring Leona back to Indonesia, I believe she will consider it if it is me who ask her to]
[you have said it many times, but no outcomes yet]
[Stop bothering me now, my decision to help you last time (stealing pictures of Tania and Damar's testimony) was pretty crazy decision. It was a fatal stupidity!]
He hung up the phone and threw that innocent gadget on the sofa. He wiped his face with his palms with great disappointment and regret to himself.
That man started feeling worried about the investigation termination of the leaking of security system of the court in the case of Hendra's divorce.
This made him even more depressed. There were two possibilities haunting him. First, it might be that the scary young master had known who the doer was, or he himself so that he chose to leave the matter uninvestigated. Second, it might be that the case was still on, but he was not involved in that case because his interference had already been recognized.
That man stood restlessly, held his head with one hand, and another hand was on his hip. "What ami supposed to do? Sooner or later they will find out that I am the doer. They will not forgive me. Or should I go to the country where Leona lives now?" he thought over about his next move.

The eyes of that woman were still closed tightly. She had been in wrapped in warm and good scent.
Hendra knocked his fingers on a wooden surface, feeling impatient in that situation. She happened to open her eyes when he helped her put on her clothes. But she was back to sleep. What had happened to her? Hendra stood up and walked back and forth in that room, feeling confused and uneasy at the same time. He finally sat down next to her and inspected some possibilities.
Suddenly a surprising thing happened. There was a kiss on his cheek and laughter from his sneaky woman. Mahendra was fooled. She had awoken sometime ago but she pretended to remain passed out.
That girl was just giving her husband a lesson for treating her too much. And that man was fooled. He jumped on the bed and to catch her who was running on the bed. Hendra managed to catch her foot. She screamed and kicked her man who was trying to hug her violently. Her laughter was echoing in their huge bedroom. _Thank you Aruna for coming to my life_
