You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 9: Not Believing

Arinda woke up when it was still very dark outside. He just sat there in place where he lay. Still thinking about his dream last night, which he thinks feels very real. A man with a well-built and fragrant body, suddenly appeared in his dream. Gently stroked her hair, and flicked it behind her ears.

"Surprisingly, I feel like he's really touching me. Even I still remember the fragrance on her body." Arinda.

"But, who did he suddenly appear in my dream...?"

Arinda who is not used to dreaming of a male figure becomes her own education made. Arinda was afraid that the dream would come true.

(When it is real, and not a dream.hihi.).

Arinda got up from her lying position. After a while ago wriggling, flexing all the muscles of his body. Now he is sitting on his bed. Then grab a glass of water that Bi Imah usually prepared on the nightstand.

Glue.glek...

Arinda finished the glass. Wishing to win himself over with the water he has gulped.

Then he dropped his head on his cushion again. Immerse yourself under his blanket. His eyes looked at the ceiling of the room that was always silent.

"Hhh..." Arinda sighed softly. And silence after. He began to feel uncomfortable. Confused what to do. He did not want to close his eyes again.

Then he tried to get up. Remove the blanket covering her body. Sit for a while on the edge of the bed. Then turn on the lights so that the room is brighter.

Arinda just walked back and forth around her bed. There's nothing he can do. His eyes caught a stack of novels that had accompanied him some time ago. He intended to reach it, but he abandoned that intention. Because actually, he had finished reading everything.

"Or just take a shower..." Her thought. "It looks like seger soaking in the water of the angel..."

He recalled the waiter who bathed him that time kept a few bottles of aromatherapy in a small cupboard in the bathroom.

"Aaaa, I'm taking a shower now ah..." Said Arinda again who immediately went to the bathroom. He then prepared warm water, and lit a small candle for his aromatherapy furnace. Choose the scent he wants. This time, he wanted to smell jasmine.

Before long, the bathroom was filled with the smell of jasmine. Arinda sat on the edge of the bath and played with the still slowly flowing water. Suddenly...

Tok..

Jekrekks...

Arinda heard the sound of her bedroom door being opened. He's surprised. His eyes glanced to the left and to the right, like looking for something. Who goes into his room this morning blind.

There was a sound of Bi Imah behind the bathroom door. Arinda was a little relieved.

"Sir Arinda, is Ma'am Arinda inside...?" Ask Bi Imah.

"Yes, Bi..." Arinda opened the bathroom door. "What's up, Bi..." Tanya Arinda who is still curious about the arrival of Bi Imah who is too early in her opinion.

"Bak Arinda is going to take a shower...?" Arinda's question was answered with a question by Bi Imah, because he saw Arinda already wearing her bathrobe.

"Yes, Bi. It's so hot, so I want to take a shower..." Answer Arinda.

"What a coincidence, Sister Arinda." Bi Imah's speech made Arinda panic. Then Bi Imah turned her head and seemed to signal someone to come closer.

"This is Bella and Siska. Those who will help Madam Arin shower and tidy up." Bi Imah.

That's right Arinda's guess. "Hhhhhh..." Arinda breathed out slowly. Arinda was about to say something, but suddenly Bi Imah said her words first.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Arinda... Bi Imah please don't reject it this time." Bi Imah's facial water shows its seriousness.

"Mmm, where are Beautiful and Siti, Bi..?" Tanya Arinda tried to buy time. Who knows there are gaps that he can use to avoid the embarrassing ritual.

"They are only temporarily seconded here, Ms. Arinda. From now on, Bella and Siska will help Ms. Arinda clean up and tidy up." Bi Imah replied politely.

4 Hours of Arinda's time to pamper herself. Although he felt uncomfortable being treated like that, but in his heart Arinda praised the way Bella and Siska worked.

They make the atmosphere very comfortable. I don't know what the cause is. For sure they are very professional, look very experienced and the results are very satisfying.

Now Arinda is neat, fragrant and fresher. His face also looks glowing. So pretty. With straight hair unraveled with a little curl on the end, covering his back.

"There's something else today..." Mumbled.

Seen Bi Imah busier than usual day. A few servants then changed. I don't know what they're doing. Arinda slowly stepped towards the balcony. Bi Imah who saw the arrival of Arinda, immediately greeted her kindly.

"Good morning, Sister Arinda."

"Morning, Bi Imah..." Sahut Arinda's. Arinda's eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of the man who was standing on his back. The man stood on the edge of the balcony, looking at the lake in the distance. With both hands he kept in his pants pocket.

"Who is he..." Arinda murmured in the heart.

Bi Imah did not immediately allow Arinda to sit down.

"Mr Victor..." Bi Imah greeted the man. Hearing the name called Bi Imah, Arinda was sure she never knew the man.

Victor turned. His eyes were fixed on Arinda, freeing his hands from his pants pocket. "Amazing..." Praising her with rage and cursing herself in the heart. He knew that there was a limit to him admiring the girl before his eyes. Although what he saw was true, Arinda was indeed admirable.

Arinda looked at Victor with a sharp look. Thinking that the man in front of his eyes is the mastermind behind the events of these few days. Arinda was silent. Resist all the turmoil that was about to spill. By still setting the heart and controlling themselves. Because he needed a lot of explanation from the foreign man.

"Who is he..? What's the importance of him keeping me here for no apparent reason...?" Arinda started putting on a hostile face.

"Good morning, Miss Arinda..." Victor greeted with courtesy. Arinda's face hasn't changed a bit. Flat, with sharp eyes. Silence of a thousand languages.

"Sorry, make Miss wait too long."

Arinda did not flinch from hearing Victor's words. He looked at Victor's clear eyes. Hoping to knock Victor mentally with that death look.

But unfortunately, it didn't work. Victor was not affected in the least. From there Arinda understood, that the figure of the man who was walking through it was not an ordinary person.

"I beg you, Miss, don't be rash..." Victor said behind Arinda's back. Victor had already caught the meaning of Arinda's gaze. She knew she was accusing him of being the man behind the scenes.

Then, Arinda had to turn her back.

"Master, can you not be convoluted...? I'm in need of an explanation from you. I'm sure you know that...!!!" Arinda's words were only answered with a smile by Victor.

Not yet had time to say anything, Victor's phone suddenly rang. Victor answered the call, after he gestured to Arinda, a sign asking for permission. Arinda doesn't care. Just take your eyes off in any direction.

"All right..." That's all Victor said, answering the words of someone behind his phone. After that, Victor ended the call. And keep his phone back in his inner pocket of his suit.

"Miss Arinda, there is someone who will explain and answer all the questions Miss." Victor's words made Arinda even more clueless about what happened.

Just as Victor stopped talking, Arinda's bedroom door opened. Someone came out the door. Arinda tilted her head trying to see the figure that came, because it was covered by the body of Victor who stood firmly in front of him.

Knowing who came Victor immediately shifted to the side, turned his body towards the person, and lowered his head. Everyone who was there did the same.

Only Arinda had a different expression. He was aghast, looking at the figure walking towards him. Her eyes widened. The entire vein in his body stiffened. Arinda was in the vortex of her anger, holding back with all her might. He didn't want to believe what he saw.

"Cand..." His lips twitched saying that name. His eyes are getting wet. Her nose is reddened. He wanted to cry, scream, and tear the face of the man who was now standing right in front of him.

Arinda looked at Ardan's eyes. Still hoping it was someone else. Arinda did not want to find the reality, Ardan is the figure behind all this. However, the smile that Ardan showed him, made Arinda sure, he was really the Ardan he knew.
