Chapter 45 - Tones of Love

"First, take care of your eyes and heart. Your love is for me only one. Mandatorily. Can't be bothered. Non comma point."

"Secondly, it is forbidden to have physical contact with any boyfriend. If you can stay as far away as possible. Just be friends with women."

"The third, at the latest six months must be officially my wife. If less than six months is also increasingly recommended. I accept it with open arms and am happy for sure."

"If you break it, I report to Papa and kidnap you to the ruler for our marriage" Arjuna said in a firm tone.

Bening was just cengo and gawking at the words of Arjuna. Then subconsciously the corner of his lips curved the sign of him smiling to hear it.

"Why should I be friends with women? Not good ah. Monotonous and colorless," Bening's great-grandson deliberately rejected Arjuna's request. Even though he wasn't serious about what he said. But it was taken seriously by Arjuna.

"Can't, period! Even if you need your friend those men should not look at you for more than 2 seconds" Arjuna said firmly.

"Why?" ask Bening wonder.

"I could die of jealousy."

"And for sure they will get mired in the ravine of your charm when you see you in the third, fourth and so on until unlimited," said Arjuna in a sharp tone.

"Yesha... Arjuna's... Arjuna. Who are the men out there who want to be with a woman who is no longer a girl like me," Bening said while laughing but at the end of his sentence sounded sad.

Unknowingly the corner of Bening's eyes dripped tears then Arjuna who saw it immediately rubbed it first. Faster than Bening's hand that will wipe it so Arjuna doesn't know.

But Arjuna who was more alert then now his handsome hand had managed to wipe away the tears of his woman.

"For me you are perfect. It's even more perfect than any woman out there. Because you love our son so much. If a woman loves her child, the heart of the woman must also love the father of her child. Even though destiny says otherwise that our child should be called the Creator first. Don't feel insecure, Bening. Sorry."

"If the world were to reject you a thousand times, I would still love you a million times, receive you all my body and embrace you for the rest of my life. Take that," said Arjuna firmly and with confidence.

Bening who was amazed by Arjuna's speech plus the handsome face looked at him so deeply that when he realized, Bening was the one who looked wrong.

"Ehem..."

Deheman Arjuna realized Bening who was daydreaming.

"Eh, sorry."

Arjuna also smiled looking at this woman who was so charming in his eyes. Dropping Arjuna into the abyss of his deepest love. Just for a Bening.

"Can I ask you something?" ask Bening lirih.

"Can. Just please. You are my future wife. So entitled to ask whatever it is," replied Arjuna firmly.

"At that time, I vaguely heard you mention the name of a woman. It seems you love him very much. But he sounds angry. Is she your lover?" asked Bening softly and looked down.

Clear who is still afraid because anxiety disorders still sometimes arise drowning in him, he just squeezed his fingers and remained down.

"Look at my eyes, Bening. This is the order of your future husband" Arjuna said in a firm tone.

Finally, Bening tried to neutralize his breath first. Then raised his face which was originally lowered now he looked at Arjuna directly.

The two pairs of eyes were staring at each other in the same straight line with the same thump unknowingly. Finally Arjuna told me a little about Stella, his former lover.

Even the faithful listen to Arjuna's explanation trying to be a good listener and do not cut and ask further about Stella. He knew it was Arjuna's past.

Even in the corner of his heart as a woman slightly pinned feel Arjuna was so loving Stella to survive long enough dating despite obstructed blessing from the mother. Unknowingly, Bening's heart has been embedded in love in the name of Arjuna.

So that makes him jealous invisible to the name of Stella or certainly later if there are other women who approach Arjuna. Understand this is the first time Bening felt in love and reciprocated loved by a man.

All this time his life was just learning, school and always obeying what the Papa's will to the inner and physical torment that always visited his life that seemed monotonous and colorless.

Now, the arrival of an Arjuna who brings a love for her and a beautiful hope for a future, makes Bening's life more colorful and vibrant.

After speaking lightly enough again, Arjuna finally delivered Bening to his workplace. Then he rushed to a place called a funeral.

At the cemetery, Arjuna asked the tomb guards who had been very familiar to help maintain and clean the tomb of the son in addition to the tomb of the father who had been routinely guarded.

Of course the guard was shocked to death. Because he already knows the Arjuna family, especially Arjuna's late father. All he knew was that Arjuna was not married. But now the new fact turns out Arjuna already has children.

Arjuna was forced to lie because he tried to keep the good name of Bening and the Bening family. He said that he was married in series and would soon formalize his marriage.

The guard nodded in understanding. Don't forget Arjuna gave me some money. Even Arjuna showed the guard a picture of Bening and said that Bening was his wife.

Arjuna advised that if Bening visited his son's grave and gave some money for his son's grave, there was no need to accept. And the secret about Arjuna telling him to also have to be kept neat. No one should know including Bening.

Arjuna wants to do a lot in life. He wanted to make amends for all his mistakes in the past.

The next day, when Bening was busy counting the number of cakes that were ready in the storefront, suddenly someone called him from the side. That person was quite surprised to stare at Bening. For all he knew was that Bening was dead.

"Be_ning," call her in a stammering tone.

Bening turned his head and was also surprised to look at the person who called him.

Degs...
