Both ladies, Dea and Aruna, were sitting on the veranda by the side of the house. There was a comfortable sofa, and it had a beautiful view. Aruna acted like a presenter who was going to have an exclusive interview with a top star and gain a lot of information about new things she was uninformed about.
"How's Magic Letter going so far? I haven't got any chances to visit it," Aruna's expression was unhappy, seeing how she built up her start-up with all her efforts.
"What do you expect has happened to it?" Aruna shook her head. She felt her brain was a bit paralyzed after being scolded several times by someone. "Lily has worked hard. She is the only one who has been trying to keep up start-up stand on its feet. I am grateful that she doesn't give up yet. You know very well, after getting married, Oppa Surya applies a disciplined schedule for me,"
Aruna chuckled. The term discipline schedule was familiar to her. She knew precisely that schedule, details, and high precision to be on time daily. The first time she met Mahendra, she got detailed activities for her and Mahendra which were designed by Surya.
"So, how is it going now"?
"You'll be surprised to hear this from me," Dea was making her friend grow more curious.
"What is that?" Aruna shook her friend's body.
"Timi is no more a supervisor design in the place where we are having an internship,"
"But why?"
"He is helping Magic Letter. Your husband asked him to be in charge of your start-up, Aruna."
"Really?" Dea nodded fast in response.
"Not only Timi, though. Magic Letter is now having an administrative system and a much easier transaction. Just like we used to dream about it,"
"So, Hendra did it?" Dea nodded again.
"and your husband has messed up my life because Timi is back," Lily's voice was interfering with their chat. She showed up and followed closely by Laras and Tito behind her.
"Where is Agus?"
"He sent his words to you but he can't join with us," Lily explained. As friends of Aruna had come, some snacks were served by the assistants.
"Is Agus that busy?" Aruna missed her friend, who loved eating.
"It isn't easy to graduate from Information Engineering," said Dea.
"Moreover, Agus is taking an internship out of town," Lily completed her complaints. "Let's send our pictures to him to make him more miserable," That idea was grabbed enthusiastically by others. Unfortunately, they didn't have a long time for the shooting session.
"Miss," Herry came among them. He happened to meet Lily face to face. "Master asked you and your friends to see him," Aruna's friends looked at each other, wondering.
"Why is your husband calling us, Sister?" Laras tidied herself before going.
"I have no idea," She shrugged her shoulder, wondering too.

"Darko, how's the new game? Do you like it?" Darko nodded.
"Since you have done the mission perfectly, here is something for you," a box of the brownish cake was extended to him, and he took it without saying anything. He was fond of that brownish cake.
Nana yanked her hair back, sitting relaxedly, her right leg crossed her left one.
Leona just went down the stairs after locking herself the whole day in her room. She was shattered after Thomas left.
"I heard you were out for the last few days. Where have you been?" Leona ignored that question. She walked limply, and her eyes were puffy.
"Someone is sad, that one is," Darko still had difficulty distinguishing between Leona and Nana. He stared at them alternately.
"Sister, do you think that Thomas killed himself?" Leo sat on the sofa, and her eyes didn't get swift from Darko, who was eating his cake. Nana looked at her little sister warmheartedly, an expression of an older sister taking pity on her little one's condition.
"I wish it was not the news I heard of. Unfortunately, Thomas was gone leaving his wheelchair on the bridge," said Nana.
"But I met Thomas and he told me someone had tried to kill him," Leo said straightforwardly. She was curious about her sister's expression when she told her the truth.
"I'm sorry Leo, but are you okay if I take you to a doctor of Djoyodiningrat?" such a reply and Nana's assumption of questioning her sanity shocked Leo. How possible she made such an assumption while she did meet Thomas in person?
"Will you believe me if I tell you that Thomas is still alive?" the second statement, Nana got more impatient.
"What the hell are you talking about?" her eyebrows were taunted perfectly.
"Why are you upset? I am just asking…"
"Your question worries me, are you mentally okay or not?" Nana was upset.
"If it is true that Thomas was killed and not suicide, under what reason do you think he had to be murdered?"
Because Thom is the key witness. What else do you think?"
Thud'
Her swollen face and puffy eyes again were watery. Leo cried again. That woman was like losing her grip and her sanity.
"Leo, I can't see you like this all the time. Come with me!" Leo shook her head.
"You go! I am worried you will sleep with me around and you will eventually disclose so much secret between us," such words made Nana feel bad. She got up and snatched her bag.
"Calm down yourself! Don't meet me if you are still like this!" Nana was infuriated. She left Leo's home.
"Darko, will you tell me what kind of game are you playing with my sister?" Leo was a mess. She walked toward Darko due to her curiosity.
"Sister? Who is sister??" Darko found it hard to distinguish both of the girls.
"What kind of game are you playing with the other part of me?" her loud voice generated Darko's senses. He shook his head and put the cake off his hand.
"A hunting game?" he blinked his eyes several times.
"Is that the name of the game?" It had to be my sister who named it.
"How to play it?"
"It works like how you want it. And I like the last part,"
"What is the last part like?" Leo was trying to dig up as much information. Her expression grew more serious.
"You assigned me a mission, and I carried it out," it was such an ambiguous feeling that Darko thought Nana and Leo were the same persons.
"Alright, fine. What was the last mission that you did which gave you much pleasure?" Leo grew tenser.
"to trap that cute girl," Leo shuddered when imagining that.
"Do you know who that cute girl is? How did you trap her?" Her eyes narrowed when staring at him.
"That cute girl is the target, I am the hunter,"
"I don't care who the target is and who the hunter is. Just tell me how did you trap her?" She was almost insane when interrogating someone who was even difficult to comprehend himself completely.
"Anytime that cute girl alone, she has to get disruption because she had made you hurt. She had humiliated you with her stares. You said to make her go to the lake," Leo could not understand Darko's words.
Somehow, she suppressed all her confusion. She felt something had happened. Darko went back home this afternoon with his feet were dirt with mud and he got some bruises on his knee.
"That cute girl went really to the lake?"
"She did…"
A group of young people was walking closely behind Herry. No one could guess what exactly Aruna's husband had in mind so he invited them all to see him.
Magic Letter team went up to the second floor. Soon they walked into the halls of the house, which led them to a huge door, the door of the meeting room.
Aruna's second coming to the house was different from her first one. She was not empowered with her huge curiosity over that mansion like on her first visit. On that first visit, she explored every single corner until the peak of the house to see what the man's house was like, what it kept so that it stood alone and arrogantly on the peak of a hill by the outskirt of a megapolitan city.
When those young people walked into the room, and of course, Aruna was among them, Hendra stood up, walked slowly to his wife, hugged his little wife, and kissed her on her forehead. "Although it is a meeting, I want you guys to feel relaxed," the term 'guys' he picked up from his wife to address her friends was quite amusing, "Just consider this an informal occasion, a chat," Mahendra threw a smile to all curious faces of Magic Letter's team. Then, pulled his wife's hand to sit next to him, separated from her friends.
Not long after that, a group of house assistants served snacks on the table, and those tensed faces melted. A fresh and fruity snack was too good to ignore, and the bright yellow color pudding with some pieces of fruit cuts was tempting and inventing.
