Taste and Lust

Chapter 75

6 Years later...

Since that incident, Hendry completely disappeared from Afia's life and never again communicate even Hendry did not care about him again.

Until now Hendry returned to Indonesia the first time he stepped foot after 6 years longer living in the United States. And he was immediately welcomed by his beloved family, namely Abbas Dina and Freya.

"Pa.. Ma'am.." Hendry then hugged the two men filled with longing. "How are you with mom? I hope you're okay".

Dina let out her tears, "Yes dear, as you see papa as well as mama is fine. Thanks for coming back, baby".

Then Freya approached them, with tears streaming down her eyes she immediately embraced the burly body as she said. "I miss you so much Hendry" and it made Hendry laugh ruffling his long hair. "Why?".

"You're just Freya".

"But I really miss you, Henry. Why don't you trust me? Even if it's only 6 months".

"Yes, I believe it".

That suit, Mapolo's extended family left the airport. And at home, a very special dish was waiting for him there with Freya's parents. Until now they have arrived, Uncle and his aunt immediately embraced him just as his parents did.

"Haha.. You really have grown up Hendry and also dashing. Uncle salute to you" praised Freya's father in laughter by Hendry.

"Thank you uncle".

"Even aunts just can't believe that this handsome guy standing in front of aunty is Hendry's aunt's niece" estiana said seeing Hendry's body from top to bottom still could not believe what he saw.

"Haha... Thank you aunt for praising me excessively like this. I was so happy" and they laughed together.

"Here we go, we'd better have dinner. Uncle is pretty sure you're starving".

"Gee... How did you know I was starving hahahhaha?".

"You don't think your uncle knows?" reply while embracing Hendry's back walked towards the dining table. And a very special meal was on the table, "This is all for you".

"Thank you uncle" said Hendry directly sitting on his chair. He saw that all the dishes were so very special, and that made Hendry endlessly smile happily because this was the first time he tasted home cooking again after 6 years. In fact, he is now with his extended family.

After dinner, Hendry entered his room, while the others were chatting in the family room. Then Hendry laid his body, he looked up at the ceiling of the room with a tired face.

Geck... Geck...

"Hendry can I come in?" ask Freya.

"Mmmm, come in" replied Hendry lifting his body to see Freya walking closer to his bed. "What's wrong?".

Freya smiled, "It's okay, Hendry. I just want to stop for a minute. Hows it? Do you feel like something has changed in this room? I think it's still like the old one".

"Mmmm, nothing has changed. Then I take a shower first".

"Yes, take a shower" Freya nodded.

"Ooo, have you finished taking Hendry's bath?" freya asked to see him in a bathrobe. "Hhhmmss, I think...

"What's wrong?" ask Hendry.

"Akh, it's okay, Hendry. I'm just.. Why are you taking a quick shower? Akh hahaha yes I forgot that.. No, if that's what I'm going to get out of here first. Finish you change your clothes down to the bottom floor ok".

"Yes".

Hendry then entered his clothing room, where all the clothes had been arranged as neatly as ever. Then he chose clothes that fit in his body, after which Hendry came out to approach them to the family room where all the family members were there.

"That's Hendry's coming. OMG, he's so handsome hehehe" it's good to have Freya sit next to him whispering. "You're so handsome, Hendry".

As soon as Hendry sat down, Abbas began their talks on the seriousness of his position in the Mapolo group company and also on his future.

"From tomorrow, you can already directly work in our company as a financial director. I don't think you'd mind that position".

"Yes pa" replied Hendry smilingly nodding.

"Keep, what about your future baby?" dina asked while looking at Freya's parents. "Look Hendry, your age now can not be said easy anymore. So papa same mom is planning to match you with Freya. What do you think, baby?".

Hendry remained silent. In his heart was never the slightest implied to marry Freya and also the feeling never arose at all to him.

"I'm sorry before. Why is it like this, Ma? I never thought about marrying Freya, I even considered Freya as my own sister" Hendry explained.

"Mama knows Hendry that you already consider Freya as your own biological sister. But mom and dad you've been thinking about this for a long time, and we think it's the best thing for our family".

"I mean mama?".

"Yes, after your dad retires. Then the Mapolo group will fall in your hands and surely you two will run all these companies rather than you having to marry another woman we don't know her eel's cells".

And again Hendry was silent while taking a deep breath. "I can't answer now ma. And for now, I still want to focus on work. Sorry".

"It's okay, Hendry. Papa also understands what you mean. Too forced is not good either".

"Yes pa".

"Then what about you, baby? You're still patient, are you waiting for Hendry?" dina asked Freya who fell silent as soon as Hendry refused.

"Yes Auntie, I'll wait ya".

"It's okay, baby. Trust Auntie that Hendry won't turn his back on you mmmm".

"Yes Aunty" was glad Freya finally smiled as she glanced at Hendry who looked flat like he did not want her. "Hendry, I promise to love you" he said.

Hendry then looked at her, the gaze was not what Freya wanted. "Don't force yourself too much".

"of course. But as much as possible I can make you fall in love with me. You'll see later".
