Three hours earlier.
Sitting for a long time in front of an open laptop with a pile of files, is nothing new to him,
he was able to do it even until last night. Routines that never seem to bring it to the word saturated and tired. For what purpose try?
Though the pile of rupiah and dollars that have been collected did not lead him to one word "happiness" , but anyway he still survived even deeper.
Until then the rhythm of the clanging on his phone, diverting all attention to Damaresh from the busyness he did without pause since an hour before.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Aresh, are you busy, or are you asleep?"
"Not yet, what's up Anthoni?"
"Tante Clau asked me to tell you to come home to the mansion tomorrow,"
"Hmm" Damaresh's response was just a hum. But it doesn't matter to Anthoni, it's not a barrier for him to continue.
"Bring Aura! I'll also bring Vriska"
Anthoni then laughed lightly. Laughter for himself, because what he said for now only became limited wishful thinking.
Damaresh had already thrown his body on the back of the chair before Anthoni's spoken sentence reached a point. "That's all your interest?"
ask Damaresh with a puff.
"One more thing, the Aura was firm and mighty. I told him about your secret, but he stays with you, keep him Resh!, at least with that I'll have allies,"
again Anthoni chanted his words with laughter.
"You're done? I'll continue my work,"
damaresh said, sounding indifferent to everything said by Anthoni.
But after the call ended, Damaresh was still lying in question mark about what Anthoni had told Aura about him.
His work was completed along with the night trip that reached the middle point, but sleepiness had not come to say hello, plus the words Anthoni who was still ringing in his ear created an eternal, Damaresh chose to kill all the remains by rushing out of his study and down the stairs to meet Dirga.
Usually since childhood, every time he could not hug his sleep with lena, Damaresh would sit with Dirga, asking the nanny to tell him anything, which will divert the confusion of his soul because it grows in the middle of a family that does not refract warmth like a family.
And Dirga will always fulfill the wishes of Damaresh, even though he had to spend his rest, despite the drowsiness that had gripped him, Dirga was able to hold everything for the sake of the young master.
And it continued even though the young master had grown up.
But in the middle room of the lower floor, he saw the silhouette of Aura who stepped towards the pantry and opened the refrigerator, the curiosity of Damaresh who had been in the crown he decided to immediately finish at that moment.
There was a conversation with Aura, where, at the end of the conversation revealed a truth that Aura had never expected before about the cause of their forced marriage.
"I have made you fail to marry Akhtar, I have told people to send us pictures to the Akhtar family,"
damaresh said with great emphasis in every sentence.
"Wasn't that what Mr. Edgard did?" aura asked nervously.
"No, it was my man" said Damaresh.
The flasback
The incident began, when Edgard's men trapped Kaivan and Aura in the apartment.
The Damaresh who came to the rescue was eventually subjected to accusations from Aura, especially when with no second thought, Damaresh raised a telfhon from Akhtar for Aura in the early hours of three,
a heated debate ensued between the two. At the end of the debate, with Damaresh saying he would replace Akhtar to marry her, due to Aura's fear, Akhtar will cancel the marriage of those who live two weeks away.
As a man of high power loomed, and accompanied by an undeniable charm,
damaresh's self-esteem is deeply hurt by the words of Aura Aneshka who answers Damaresh's words.
"Until now, I will never marry you, because you will not be a good priest for me, nor do you know how to be a good priest in a household."
Though the offer he made to Aura was far from a seriousness. Marriage is an achievement that never existed in his life agenda, and falling in love is also something that he did not expect his presence.
Damaresh doesn't want to be like his two cousins, Anthoni and Edgard, who are stuck in a loveless bond and the other entangled in a bondless love.
But Aura's words have challenged her to prove her power, that she can do anything she wants. Armed with cctv footage in Kaivan's room, Damaresh edits some pictures of herself and Aura with a little polish here and there, as if they were sleeping together.
He then ordered Stevan to send the picture to Akhtar's address, and to trick Aura, in making a fabrication if the sender of the image that was the cause of the destruction of the wedding plan Aura and Akhtar was addressed in the Surabaya area not far from the Mediatama Corp office building,
the company of Edgard.
The flashback
Aura passed by silently and with tears, making Damaresh confident that Aura would not be able to forgive herself for her mistake.
Damaresh himself was also prepared for whatever consequences he would receive for it.
"I'm sorry" said Damaresh, who received no reply from Aura. The man immediately brought his body up from his seat to immediately leave from there.
"Everything that happens in our lives, cannot be separated from the stroke of almighty destiny, like our marriage, it is destiny, regardless of what causes the marriage to happen."
The Aura's words undo Damaresh's intention to leave immediately.
"Does that mean you forgive me?"
Damaresh stared at Aura inside. The girl nodded slowly but surely, in as well as the affirming answer. "Yes." Yeah."
"Just one thing-" Aura immediately stopped her speech before reaching a point, as the vehemently asked Damaresh, looking so curious at all.
"What?"
"Tell Akhtar all this truth, if you ever have time to meet him,"
aura pinta.
"Looks like he still has a place in your heart huh? until you don't want him to misunderstand," asked Damaresh
in an uncomfortable tone. The man even immediately sat back beside Aura.
"No," Aura quickly refuted.
"I'm married now, and I've forbidden any other man in my heart, other than my husband."
"Are you sure of what you said?"
To be honest, there is a sense of pleasure in Damaresh hearing Aura's words, but he does not want to drown in that pleasure because there is one fact about the Damaredh family that Aura does not know.
It could be that later the girl will dampen her steps
after knowing the truth.
"Yes." Yeah." Aura again gave a definite answer that was accompanied by a determined look.
"There's one thing you need to know about my family, Arra! that any woman who entered the Willyam family would only have two paths,
Shackled in a loveless bond, or entangled in a love without bond."
Aura was quite surprised to hear that, such rumors had already been heard in the L&D Foundation before she met Damaresh and worked for him, but only limited to rumors that were not yet known. Anthoni had hinted that it was true, and now Damaresh firmly stated that it was true.
Really the two things that Damaresh mentioned are things that no woman wants. Right no?
"Is that the color, in the beginning of marriage you made a rule not to fall in love with each other?"
tanya Aura was reminded of the first condition that was put by Damaresh first in Aura's room after the marriage contract.
"One of them, yes."
"Then you're gonna put me in which position?"
Aura felt she had to clarify everything.
"For now, I don't know. Sorry," said Damaresh quietly and cut off his gaze just like that from Aura. Damaresh hates that he should be in this condition right now, a condition where he cannot decide quickly and firmly as how he has been working to lead Pramudya Corp.
Of course different, making a decision for a feeling is not as easy as making a decision about
the company. Damaresh is successful in leading the company but not necessarily he will be successful in matters of feeling.
"Father Aresh, I understand," said Aura looking understandingly. He seems to be okay with that.
"Ahh it seems like I want to continue my sleep," he said again later.
"Yes, go back to sleep!"
"You should sleep too, Aresh!"
After getting a nod from Damaresh, Aura immediately brought herself with a rush back to the room. And as soon as his hand reached the door of his room, the tears he had been holding back from hearing Damaresh's reply fell on his cheek.
The aura is not okay. Heart's hurt.
And the disappointment and sadness of the reply of Damaresh who tried to cover it up , spilled just like that in a form of unstoppable tears.
