23. Stop It Aruna!

"Hello, honey"

"Hi, Hendra"

"You got my mobile phone, hon?"

"Yes, it's with me"

"Good…my man will meet you"

"Actually I am on my way to…" Hendra was in the office. The talk was disturbed with a knock on the door.

"Come in" the voice went to the receiver as Hendra was in the middle of talking to his wife.

Mia his secretary went in.

"You have a guest, Sir. She said she had an appointment with you. But she is not in the guest list. It is Miss Tania."

As Tania was mentioned, Hendra quickly back to Aruna.

"Honey, I'll call you back, okay?"

"Hendra, actually I am…"

"I will call you back soon. I love you." He hang up the call. A minute later, his guest went in.

"Hi, Tania. What are you up to?" that blue eyed man stood up and walked to his guest who claimed had already had an appointment with him.

"Yeah…as I was told, I needed to meet you" she smiled sweetly. She put on a famous branded and fashionable outfit. She walked past the room and sat on the sofa, in the center of the office room. The sofa was facing the window exposing the beautiful view of a busy city from the top angle.

Mahendra frowned at her reply.

"It is the ninth, you know"

"and the tenth if I counted your presence in Bali" He sat next to her. He watched every movement she made.

"Hi. Aruna. You deserve to receive recognition. Someone proposed this to you and campus" An Academic staff congratulated Aruna as that girl went to seek explanation how her name was written on the board as one of participants of final exams .

"Who proposed recognition for me?" she grew more confused to that unclear explanation.

"Don't you know that you become the hot topic in this campus recently?" she shook her head.

"You have a great husband" that voice sighed casually to the wife of a man she admired. It was really inappropriate for an academic staff to do so.

Aruna thanked her and left the building quickly. She left her sweetest smile too. Now her mind wandered to the man who had broken the window panes.

Her father was very worried to find out her window room had been pulled out. Let alone her neighborhood had been shaken by the news a thief was on the roofs of their houses.

"Huh, that silly blue eyed man!" she giggled happily.

.

.

"Em…Hi!"

"Oh…yes. Is it you, Miss Aruna?" A lady who was in front of the hall of Hendra's office was nervous to see the CEO's wife was standing in front of her.

Teta whispered something to Mia. Mia's table was nearer Hendra's office. Both ladies had similar responsibilities as secretaries for the CEO.

They had seen Aruna several times. But they never saw her in such outfits. They were confused. The ladies who looked professional in their smart outfits were discussing something softly.

"Do you want to see the CEO?"

"Yeah, I have been from campus. I thought I could drop by here to return his mobile phone he left at my home this morning." Aruna looked at the two secretaries who glanced at each other.

"errr…sorry… I didn't make any appointment first" Aruna looked at their concerned faces.

"No. it's okay for you" Teta was trying to be normal but her face was still worried.

"Okay, please have a seat Miss. I'll Mr.Hendra that you pay a visit to him." Mia looked calm and professional. She stood up and walked to the door of the CEO office. Mia glanced at her when she entered the room and Aruna caught that the eyes were worried.

.

"Sir?"

"Ye. Just tell me!" Hendra replied shortly. He sat pretty close to Tania. He was still watching her closely. He wanted to understand why Tania behaved differently recently. It confused him.

"Your wife is outside now" replied her professionally. Hendra automatically bit his lower lip. That meant he was anxious.

"Oh my God!" He stood up abruptly and gestured Tania to stand up too. His eyes wiped his room to find any place for her to hide. Unfortunately Hendra did not like to have too many things in his office. He likes to have big space, clean, and less furniture.

"Bend down behind the desk! Don't show up before I tell you to. You got it?"

Tania bent down under Hendra's desk. Tania. It was confusing. She was known to have very contradictive character from the time she showed up in Bali until then. Hendra was trying to find out what happened to his female friend after she disappeared for so long and then came out of the blue.

"Okay, let my wife in" He tidied his himself that already looked perfect.

"Hi, honey.. come here and hug me" Aruna was wearing the same shirt he put on this morning. He smiled. She did not change a bit, calm and quiet. She walked nervously toward him. And when she hugged, she was able to win everything. All the charms and attention.

"I didn't know you would come. Very surprising. But I like it."

He caressed her hair and then landed his kiss on her cheek.

"ehmm… I did try to tell you but you were kind of too busy." When Hendra made a phone call with her, she was on the way to his office.

"Relax, I'm not staying long" She took out his mobile phone quickly after she noticed fore finger tapping. A gesture of impatience. Hendra might not realize that but she noticed it.

"Thank you" he took his phone. He ran his hand to her face, stroke her check, and his thumb to stroke her lips.

"Hendra, I'm tired curling up here" suddenly Tania stood up in front of them both.

"WHY???!!" He turned around sharply and his voice was a menace.

"What have happened to you??" the next voice was even deadly to anyone listened to it. He looked totally outrageous.

.""Oh, I'm sorry. Perhaps I should come back another time" that cute girl was trying to control her intonation. It was a bit shaking. She put a little paper bag on the table. It was air freshener of Hendra's favorite fragrant, fragrant almost similar to her body odor.

She bought that small gift to show her gratitude for his help to get recognition for her.

"Bye…" she turned around quickly and walked out of the room without looking back

"Hey, stop" he followed her quickly.

She pushed the door without a pause and ran a little. Teta and Mia were gawking at the scene. But they both stood up quickly as the CEO ran past them to after Aruna.

"Aruna STOPPP!!' Hendra warned her with high voice. Anyone around was gaped in shocked.

But that girl stubbornly walked fast and ignored everything.

"Shit!!" He swore in desperate as she almost reached the lift. He ran faster to stop her before that box room took her away.

"Sorry!!" her eyes were full of hatred and anger. She turned back
