My love is blocked by your throne

114. Aroma Pillow.

"Dear-heart baby!"

Claudya half-screamed seeing Aura running around her.

"Slow down, fall down, you know."

Claudya again reminded her son-in-law who was so excited to see the arrival of Claudya.

"Mommy." Aura had already arrived in front of the beautiful woman who had always appeared graceful. Claudya immediately stretched out her hands and carried the body of the hijab-wearing woman into her arms.

For a moment the two women of different generations embrace each other releasing longing.

"I'm glad Mommy came" Aura said with a big smile after the two of them both broke down in hugs.

"Actually I've been here long enough. It must be nice to be in a place like this with my son and daughter-in-law, but there are still some things you have to get done with" Claudya said, also with a loose and carefree smile.

"I'm proud of Mommy," Aura said in a stifled voice.

"really? Don't you feel ashamed to have a mother-in-law like me?"

"No. Someone who dares to admit his mistake and hold him accountable, it is a great soul, Mommy. Because I'm proud of Mommy," Aura praised as she smiled.

"Thank you, dear." Claudya again hugged Aura full of novelty. "All this, can not be separated from your participation as well. Your presence in Aresh's life, which has played a huge role in the change of my son, as well as me, up to now, .. thank you, son."

Claudya pinned a gentle kiss on Aura's forehead which the woman accepted with great pleasure.

"You just sit down, Aura! let mommy cook," said Claudya, pointing at the chair.

Yes, the two have now been in the kitchen to perform a cooking ritual together after passing through some small and casual chat just now.

But in fact, Claudya instead asked her daughter-in-law to sit down, while she struggled with all the cooking equipment alone.

"I'll call Aresh, Mommy, so we can have lunch together."

"Please don't bother him, Aura, if he's busy," prevent Claudya with her nimble hands dancing on the frying pan.

"She was just taking a short walk to the factory, Mommy, you guys met Alarick," Aura said as she reached for her phone to start calling Damaresh.

"Later in the afternoon, mommy will also go to Alarick's house, will you accompany me later, Aura?"

"By pleasure, Mommy."

Many times Aura tried to contact Damaresh, but many times her phone calls went unanswered, until the girl moved to the front room and ended up sitting on the porch, expect to get a smooth network, so the call gets answers.

It turned out that after a few times, Aresh answered his phone.

"Arra," he said briefly in telphon.

"Aresh, where are you?"

"In the factory."

"Kok it sounds so crowded, what's up?"

"I still have business, Arra, I'll call you again." Damaresh instead answered Aura's question, but instead switched the conversation and immediately cut off the connection.

Aura could only take a slow breath, put the phone in hand and circulated her gaze through the courtyard towards the green street ahead.

It looks like some people are running around, but not like people who are chasing.

Perhaps they, who Aura knew as factory workers, were training their muscles while enjoying the green scenery.

But there was something strange, when in the next second other people were also seen running around, and on their faces was described panic, not pleasure.

Aura hurriedly got up and stepped swiftly across the courtyard, heading towards the front street. "Nuhun, sir, just a second. What's the matter, sir, what's the rush?" aura asked the person who was passing by in a hurry.

"There's a fire, neng."

"The fire? Where's?"

"In the factory." And that person hastened past with rash steps.

It must be because of that, why Aresh closed his phone in such a hurry and refused to tell, what happened at the factory.

Such was Damaresh, who always covered up anything that would make Aura panic and worry. In some places, this action seems good, but in others, it actually makes Aura more panicked, as it happens now, where the girl immediately invites Claudya to follow to the factory, with an overwhelming display of anxiety, despite everything Claudya did to calm him down.

Almost 90% of ludes factory buildings burned, do not ask how about the contents. Some workers who were on the move there, suffered burns from moderate, mild and quite serious also exist.

Alarick was quick to save his workers first, rather than secure some property inside the factory from the red whiz. Everyone was quick to help each other, until the car came and in almost an hour and a half, the fire was extinguished.

Two hours after the incident, weary faces were drawn from those sitting in the front room of Alarick's stately home. There was still nothing that the youngest son of William could say, considering his factory was suddenly burned, after a few days before all his products were rejected in the market.

Damaresh, with all the foresight of his business brain, has managed to get a new supply for the production of Alarick tea packaging in Sumatra and Kalimantan. But now the goods that are ready to be sent, ludes, and burned out.

"Mommy, take Arra home first, I still have needs with Alarick,"

Pinta Damaresh to Claudya who immediately nodded in agreement.

"No, Aresh," Aura quickly refused.

"I want to be here first."

"You must rest, Arra," said Damaresh, who saw his wife as helpful as she was with Sherin and Claudya. Aura must be feeling tired, that was what Damaresh saw.

"I don't feel tired, I just want to be here" Aura refused once more.

"Don't argue, Arra. You need to rest, you can't be too tired."

Aiih.Aresh's possessive attitude in the wrong moment.

"I'm not tired, Aresh, I'm fine."

"Dear, please!"

Gentle speech, but sharp gaze.

That was the current Damaresh on Aura who did not want his orders to be rejected.

"I want to stay here to accompany Sherin" Aura said in a weakened voice.

"Aura, Sherin, let's go inside and get some rest" Claudya said.

"Aresh, let Aura be here first, I will take care of him" said Claudya again who did not get a rebuttal from Damaresh.

"I'm sorry, Om," Damaresh told Alarick after they were left alone after Aura, Sherin and Claudya.

"Sorry, for?" Alarick asked with an incomprehensible look.

"All that has happened" said Damaresh.

"Is all this your fault?"

"No. But it's all because of me, Om."

"What do you mean, Aresh?"

"What Om Al, really don't understand?"

Damaresh asked back.

Alarick momentarily fell silent, then looked at Damaresh while saying what was not accompanied with all confidence.

"Papa, who's behind all this?"

"Yes" said Damaresh firmly.

"What's the point, why bother me now?"

"Not Om Al, but me."

"You?"

Alarick looked at Damaresh in disbelief, then shook his own head. "I don't want to speculate, Aresh," he said.

"I've been investigating, Om. And I have proof."

"So?" Alarick looked at his nephew for further explanation.

"Some time ago, my grandfather met me in Surabaya. He asked me to go back to Pramudya" said Damaresh.

Alarick laughed heartily.

"Tumben, papa licked his own spit,"

Said amazed.

"Pramudya is shaking now, especially after Mommy's confession in the mass media. A lot of business relationships are pulling out, and it looks like Edgard can't get around that. Pramudya Corp in London, also in need of direct handling, there are several boards of directors who resigned after I resigned from Pramudya."

"Papa must have burned a beard, and you're the only person he can count on. Because he presses his ego to meet you. But Aresh, if he has the desire to lower his prestige like that, then he does not get what he wants, the consequences must be bad, Aresh," Alarick reminded.

"This is the result, Om. Grandfather proved his threat, because I refused his will."

Alarick exhaled a rough breath.

"Therefore I'm sorry, Om. And I promise to clean up all this mess" said Damaresh in a sure tone.

"What's your plan, Aresh?" Alarich asked suspiciously, because he knew that his nephew often had unexpected breakthroughs.

"First, I'll clean up the mess that was here first, Om. And then-"

"What next?" ask Alarick quickly.

"Om Alarick seems worried?"

"Frankly yes" said Alarick.

"Calm down, Om.I now have nothing different from before. Even if I'm going to fight now, it's probably just a little fight."

"But your intelligence is unexpected" said Alarick.

"Thank God for giving all this, Om" said Damaresh with a brief smile.

*********

Aura greeted Damaresh at the doorstep.

"What are you doing?" damaresh asked as soon as he saw his wife.

"Welcome you," Aura replied with a smile.

"It's not a break," said Damaresh displaying a displeased face.

"I just woke up" said Aura.

"What is it?" Damaresh looks incredulous.

"Here look, there's a pillow face!" Aura pointed at her own face.

"Where?" Damaresh brought her face closer to Aura who also further advanced her face on her husband.

cup. Damaresh's gentle kiss perch on Aura's right and left cheeks.

"Yes, the smell of the pillow" he said after finishing the action. A small snigger aura.

"Aren't you mad at me?" ask her with fashion.

Damaresh shook his head.

"I just don't want you to get tired, that's all."

"I'm sorry." Aura immediately hugged her husband's waist tightly.

"Hmmm, but I want it again" said Damaresh.

"You what?"

"Kiss the scent of pillows on your face." And without waiting for Aura's approval, his wife's soft face was also the target of her endless kiss, so Claudya who was about to approach had to undo her steps, because she saw the prince in action.
