Hendra stood and lifted his wife to their bedroom. Only several steps he walked, he turned back to look at Herry.
"Eat what my wife cooked today. She would be very sad if her cook is not touched at all," then he walked away.
"And you too, Sir," his voive happened to make Hendra stopped a while before he finally opened his bedroom door.
"Miss prepared all this for you, I believed she wanted you to be the first tasted all this food," Herry presented request in a different way. He knew Hendra would easily lost his appetite when he was restless.
Meanwhile Hendra was staring at his sleeping wife once he lay that little body on the bed. He was thinking deeply. That body moved a while before she continued sleeping. He smiled looking at her peaceful expression.
He kept looking at her for quite long without feeling worried anymore. Slowly he lowered his head to smell her scent around her neck. It felt so good to be able to feel something he once believed was impossible.
"Sleep tight sleeping dove," he whispered in on her ears softly, kissed it lightly, and again smelled her body scent around her neck.
His unique hobby reminded him that he needed to clean his body after beibg out the whole day. He hurriedly stood up, took off his tie, his watch, loosened his collar before walking into the bathroom.

Having finished bathing, he put on T-shirt and met his guard, Herry. Setelah selesai mandi Hendra thought his guard was enjoying his wife cook, but to his surprised he was busy in the pantry to warm up the cook Hendra's wife made for him. Then, he put the food back in the place.
"I can warm the food, but I cannot light up the situation," the guard grinned, then put out the candles that were still on. Hendra laughed at his joke. He was amused to see himandhis gard were eating at the same table, face to face.
The candles Aruna lit was almost finished. Herry covered them with the spoon in his hand by one by one and put away the flowers in the vase that was put right in the middle of the table. Seeing Herry was busy to put away dining accessories his wife used for the dinner, Hendra helped Herry to put out some other candles and then turned on the lights. This make him realized how his beautiful wife had prepared all of these for him. He was chocked with feeling sorry. nd
"Do you want me to pick up some rice for you, Sir?" Herry was awkward when he saw his boss was still unmoved while he was ready to eat.
"No, thank you," Those words were enough to make the boss and the guard start eating. They ate their food in silence. Herry did not want to break it although he really wanted to speak with his master. Herry knew his master was a quiet type.
Right after Hendra finished his meal, Herry stood up quickly to clear te dirty plate in font of Hendra, but Hendra gestured him to sit still. "What I have told you previously is a serious matter,"
Herry still did not get what the topic his master brought up.
"Get a trustworthy partner who you can work in shift with to watch my wife," Hendra brought up a request. Herry was back to his chair again.
"I ever asked Raka to do it for me." Hendra continued his words, his hand gripped a glass. "I asked Raka to buy a shop-house near Magic Latter to keep an eye on my wife. but he just bought that place and did not carry out his main duty, his responsibility. As a result, my wife was easily made used by Rey."
Herry startled, straightened up his back. "Get men I can trust with, give me their name list, and tell me your choice after you are sure with your choice."
"I will do that, Sir," Herry sounded nervous. He was worried that such request could mean the boss was onlya mean of testing his loyalty.
"The damage on D floor is a proof that the bond inside it is still fragile. Right after that incident, people will start eyeing each other, suspicious, and in the uncertainty condition. Pick up one by one those who can be saved from that vicious cycle." On the last words, Hendra stood up and went into his bedroom, leaving debris of glass dropped from his hand.
Now the eye lids that wrapped the iris with the lowest melanin pigment had closed. (one of the cause of blue eyes is the low melanin pigment in the iris of the eyes).
He lay half of his body to wrap his sleeping wife.

The morning came. Aruna woke up and gained herself back. She found out her man she was waiting for last night was standing in front of her. He seemed unaware that his wife had awoken.
The blue eyed man was still focusing on patted himself with the tie to his shirt. He was used to wearing such outfits for many years he did not need someone to help him.
Seeing her wife was not aware of her, Aruna tiptoed and hugged him from his back.
Her naughtiness made him smile, dimples emerged on his cheeks.
"Morning, my busy man," sarcastic remarks were sensed by Hendra. He turned around to face her.
"Good morning, too, my beautiful wife," Hendra brushed her hair and tilted her face so that he could see all her face and study her expression.
_Cheerful smile_ he mumbled. The happiness Aruna brought in the morning radiated to him. He was happy. He thought his wife would be upset from last night. On the contrary, she closed her eyes, smiled, and asked for a kiss.
He lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek. Aruna locked her arms tighter, did not want to let go. Her face was sullen and she pouted her lips.
"You are not angry to me?" Finally he could stand not to ask. He was really curious. How come she was not angry at all toward his recklessness to be on time. The worst, he was so much late from the time he promised to.
"No.." She shook her head, "You looked so busy," She replied shortly, her armswere still around him.
"How did you know I was very busy? You ever got angry when I came home late," said Hendra while trying to untie her lock.
"Because you used to be reserved to me. You did not text me directly but it was a message from someone else. You even seldom gave me a call," She refused to loosen her arm lock. "I was watching you when you gave me video call, you looked so much cool when working," Aruna told her observation when Hendra tried to please her through video call. She hgged him even tighter.
In a moment, he let her hug him. He caressed her face and her hair, as a thank for not getting angry at all.
"How long are you going to hug me like this?' Hendra gave up, looking at his spoiled wife who looked so affectionate this morning. "Go take a bath first, then you can hug me again," he wanted to distract her.
"I don't want to!"
"Then, what do you want?"
"Why are you looking so neat in this morning? Are you working again?" She curved down her lip line.
"I want you to bath me," She showed her sweetest smile to tease him. Hendra smiled at her naughtiness.
He was judging two very difficult choice, both bore his responsibility.
