Stealing The Wife's First Kiss

Chapter 218 - Not A Coincidence

_Even my hiding place has traces of you_

Hendra sat for a while to relieve his fatigue. He had fallen asleep on the sofa before being woken up by Hery. The bodyguard's face had gotten better with the scar covered.

"Sir, eat first. I was asked by Mr. Surya to call you". Hery said. Hendra responded with a nod. Hendra had sneaked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and just realized why everyone thought he had not recovered yet. His face was pale.

.

"Hen, why are you playing with your food? Eat a lot so that your brain can be used and we can get out of this problem quickly". Surya woke Hendra from his daydream.

"Do you know who hit me on the head from behind? Ananta or Raka?". Hendra asked about the last incident before he was separated from his wife.

"Ananta is an ordinary person. He couldn't possibly have had the idea of injecting something in your body".

"You're right".

"Actually, there are other things that might be related to the incident in Bali". Hery spoke now.

"Maybe the two of you rarely watch national television channels or news portals. The day after you had a drink with a woman. That actress. I just realized now. Raka didn't stop the person who took your photos. I destroyed two cell phones that night then I looked for help. Raka should've been the one who completed that mission".

"Wait! Do you mean that news spread and went wild?". Surya asked. Hary responded with a nod.

"Unfortunately, when I was in Bali, I was too busy with my personal matters. After resigning, no wonder there are so many calls and messages on my cell phone. I'm confused about what to reply so I just ignore it". Surya looked full of regret.

Meanwhile, Hendra chose to remain silent. Only the gesture of putting rice into his mouth was shown by the CEO of DM Group.

"You don't want to comment, Hendra?".

"Everything has happened. There's nothing to comment on". That man stood up and walked away, leaving his plate which still had a lot of food left.

Spontaneously, the former secretary walked quickly and grabbed Mahendra's hand: "Hen.. Don't tell me you'll give up this time?". Hendra pushed away Surya's hand and walked away, ignoring Surya's words.

"We're already here. Why did you choose to stop? Why didn't you just give up from the start if it ended up like this?". Surya's words were actually reminding him about Mahendra's hopes. In the past, his reason for obeying his grandfather's will was simply to hope that one day when he leads this family he can change all the absurd traditions.

In fact, now that the mystery was slowly being revealed one by one, Hendra realized that there was a reason behind everything that the arrogant old man did. Including the reason for confining the Djoyodiningrat women. Apparently, for the same reason, Hendra didn't give Aruna freedom so that girl chose to leave.

"My wife chose to leave me just like you. So what can be expected from someone like me?". He replied to Surya's words with a louder voice.

"Are you sure she left because of her will?". Surya's question made that man speechless.

"I don't know..".

"There's still hope, Hen..". Surya reassured his friend.

"Enough. I want to rest". The blue-eyed man chose to enter one of the rooms. He needed to rest to restore his stamina that had collapsed for several days.

He didn't realize that the place he used to lie down was the place where PTSD began to greet him again after so many years. Just because he was curious about the tiny girl who had been lying in this room for a long time.

When resting, the brain neurons of the CEO who had a sharp mind wandered: 'Aruna? My job is over? Not just want.. But I must go home? Tania suits you? Moreover, you've recovered? Anantha (After making her a guinea pig?)'.

_Huh.. She kissed me while crying before??_

Hendra traced all events. Tania came suddenly? How did she know Hendra was on his honeymoon and staying at the Djoyo Ritz Hotel in Bali? Why did Aruna insist on taking care of himself when she also seemed to want him that night?

"Hehe.. Everything's not a coincidence. Fine. Let's see!".

"Hey. Why are you guys running?". Bay was confused. Those kids had just checked their cellphones at the last post of Mount Rinjani. Suddenly, both of them were excited as if they wanted to return to Jakarta immediately. Juan received news that Syakila's marriage was postponed because that girl's condition didn't allow her to get married.

Not sure what kind of disease Shakila was suffering from. Juan had to get to Jakarta as soon as possible because she might need him. It was a bit hypocritical for someone who was so confident to leave his lover and it turned out that the determination had turned around. He was so worried that he ran faster than Damar.

Meanwhile, Damar was enthusiastic because his friends in the Magic Letter group were talking about Aruna's return noisily. At first, Damar thought that Aruna's return from the honeymoon was being discussed. It turned out that it was Aruna's return to her house. That long chat started with their conversation about who would be the next leader of the Magic Letter which had been neglected for a long time.

Even though the online transaction was still running, without a leader, everything felt pointless. They worked in their respective fields. Unfortunately, there was no leader to unite their spirit. In the end, Magic Letter seemed lifeless, not knowing where to go.

Dea slipped away, saying that Aruna had gone home. There was no need for an election or change of leader. Aruna would return soon, return to her home and return to them.

Now, those young men seemed to be being chased by the time. The broken heart suddenly bloomed and brought endless happiness. Their prayers seemed to be answered, no longer looking for a cure but the drug turned into the next addiction.

There were always second chances. At first, the opportunity felt like a fairy tale. But now it really came to greet them.

"Did you get a plane ticket?". Damar asked Juan who looked busy checking the flight ticket booking application.

"Not yet. Try downloading another app. Maybe there are tickets for tonight". Same with Juan, Damar immediately hunted for tickets.

"Damar, what about my relationship with Mrs. HRD? May I?". Bay was looking for opportunities while this young man showed a bright face that had been missing for a long time.

"Up to you".

"Excuse me, Sir. Where's the previous security guard?". When Hendra rested, Surya and Hery tried to go to Aruna's house. They were hoping that the girl could be found. At least Surya could persuade her to meet Hendra just once. Surya knew Aruna was a girl who was easy to communicate with. Hendra's wife needed to know her husband's current condition.

"Wait. Is this house empty?". Apart from not recognizing the security guard at the gate of Lesmana's house, Surya also found something odd. He saw that the lights in Hendra's father-in-law's house went out, unlike usual.

"Yes. We're new security guards. Since we were here, this house is no longer inhabited". One of the security guards on duty answered.

"Then where's the previous security guard?".

"We don't know either".

"Where's the owner of this house?".

"As far as we know, the house belongs to the Djayadiningrat family. It's not occupied". Another security guard answered Surya's question.

_Oh my God. All of the assets were really returned_ Surya thought how to convey this to Hendra. That man would be more messed up if he knew Aruna's family had left the house, including the car that was spotted by Surya's eyes.

"Hery, let's go back".

"Okay, Sir".

_Dea? Does she know where Aruna and her family are?_ Surya suddenly thought of his future wife. That girl had a special place in Aruna's circle of life.

***

"Sorry. We haven't found where the young master is". Andos gave a report to Wiryo.

"Have you checked the flight at the airport?". The grandfather was very worried if Hendra chose to go and stay away.

"Pradita is looking for his position. You don't need to worry, Sir. We've confirmed that there are no flights on behalf of Mahendra. Pradita found one of the young master's platinum cards being used in an ATM machine. We're exploring the surrounding location". Andos explained.
