You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 17: Months

The weather is cloudy outside. There wasn't much Arinda could do that day. After breakfast, Ardan drives Alvin home, with Victor. Bi Imah and the servants were busy with their respective tasks.

Arinda just sat on the balcony. Enjoy a day that looks like it's going to rain soon.

"Hhh..., when will Ardan take me home...? I've been wanting to work..." A smile adorns her thin lips that are always moist. He recalled being at the cafe and flirting with some of his employees. They will misbehave and lure their other friends to flirt as well. And it turns out, it can make the atmosphere in the cafe warm and more familiar.

"What's your news...? I miss you guys so much..." Said Arinda softly while wriggling.

Small water points began to fall to the earth. Drizzles adorn the beauty of the lake across there, which may soon disappear covered in mist. Arinda chose to leave the balcony and go into the room. Later then...

Tok...

Bi Imah was behind the door, waiting for Arinda to open the door for her.

"Bi Home..." Sapa Arinda's.

"Good day, Sister Arinda. Out in the rain, I'll close the glass doors. I brought warm tea and cake. Make friends Sister Arinda, let's not be lonely because there is no Mas Ardan..."

Bi Imah teased until almost giggling because she saw Arinda's reaction to the wrong behavior. His face was red, his nose was broad, there was a stifled smile on his lips.

"Bi Imah this, what the hell..." Said Arinda shyly. He was intrigued by Bi Imah's words. But there's a point too, Ardan has been coloring for a few days.

"Don't that ah, Bi. Later his wife denger..."

"Gud..." Bi Imah tightly closed her mouth, as if afraid that anyone would hear. Then they laughed together.

The rain grew heavier as it passed noon. It's lunch time. Arinda went down the stairs with a wander, thinking of having lunch alone at the big dinner table.

"Do I need to carry it, Arin...?"

Suddenly a familiar voice appeared from behind him, when Arinda had passed the last rung of stairs. Ardan and Victor were waiting for him, talking in the living room. Arinda's steps stopped.

"That's...?" Arinda turned her body. "Have you come home...?"

Arinda's face started to brighten. He smiled as he waited for Ardan and Victor who began to move from his seat. They went to the dining table together.

"Sorry, I was a little long ago. Alvin didn't want to be left, so I had to persuade him first." Ardan spoke as Arinda filled her plate.

"Why not come here again...?"

"He's going to school tomorrow."

Arinda was astonished, frowning as she placed the plate in front of Ardan.

"School...? Isn't he 3 years old...?"

"He has been in school since he was 2 years old. But school at home. He studied with a private tutor who came home every Monday to Thursday, and Friday his schedule for sports. Saturday and Sunday he's just off."

Ardan explained at length during their meal.Victor was only a loyal listener. Arinda who occasionally commented only nodded in a sign of understanding.

After eating, as usual they will take a short break in the family room. Letting food be digested perfectly while talking about things.

Arinda looked at Tivi, but her hands were busy flipping page after page of a women's magazine provided on the table. While Ardan and Victor were talking about their work.

"Aryn..." Ardan called Arinda after his conversation with Victor was over.

"Yes..."

"I want to introduce you to someone."

"Hm..? Who...?" who's...?"

"Call him, Vic...!"

Victor immediately called the person Ardan was referring to using his phone. Before long, came a thick-bodied man with a muscular body like a bodybuilder, with a man who is similar but his body is slightly smaller.

"Hahh..., who are they...?" Arinda muttered in her heart. Scrunching his forehead while squinting his eyes.

"Wait a minute, I seem to have seen them. Where is...?" Arinda remembered something.

"Good day, Mr. Ardan, Mr. Victor, Miss..."

They greeted everyone in the living room while nodding their heads.

"The late Mr. Alex and Mr. Johan. Someone wants to meet you." Ardan is trying to tease Arinda. He said that with his face and his sly smile. In his heart he laughed at Arinda's adorable behavior.

"What...???" Arinda was surprised by Ardan's words. "Cihh, you said you wanted to introduce me to someone. Now you say, I want to know them. You sneaky..!!!"

"Hello sir, I'm Arinda." Arinda stood up to the two men, and was about to shake hands.

"I'm getting to know them. You're the one who told me to get acquainted..." Sahut Arinda's.

"That's enough...!!! Let me introduce you. Sit there..." Ardan told Arinda to sit down. Arinda stepped back onto the sofa with a manyun lip. Victor becomes a loyal audience with occasional head bobbles looking at Ardan's unusual behavior.

"This is Mr. Alex, the head of security at this house. And this is Mr. Johan, he's the head of the bodyguard." Ardan introduced them one by one. They slightly lowered their heads, wryly looking towards Arinda.

"They are my confidants. Mr. Alex is in charge of security around the corner. While Mr. Johan will escort me anywhere when needed. And these people......"

Ardan hesitated to continue his sentence. He looked at Arinda. Then shocked himself as Arinda also looked towards him. Arinda waited for the next sentence.

"E..." Ardan gulped as he saw Arinda looking at him more sharply.

"And what...???" Said Arinda suddenly with a slight shout, making Ardan like out of control.

"They kidnapped you that night...." Ardan said that quickly in surprise.

"What...???" Arinda screamed, surprised.

Mr. Alex and Mr. Johan bowed their heads. They don't know what to do. Ardan's words really tormented them. "Don't we do that also because of your orders, sir..."

"Oo..., so you're the ones...!!!" Arinda got up from the seat, approaching the two men.

"Can you guys explain something to me...?" Arinda put on a threatening and unfriendly face. He was standing right in front of Alex. Squinting her eyes intimidates. One hand crossed his chest, and the other hand was propping up his chin. He looked into Alex's eyes.

Not wanting to linger with the situation, Mr. Alex began to open his voice.

"Yes, Miss. We do the. We're sorry, miss..." Mr. Alex said firmly, still quite calm. As if unaffected by Arinda's gaze.

"Why did I pass out at that time...? Did you guys hit me...?"

"No, Miss. We didn't hit you. We are only afraid if someone hears you screaming, because you were shouting quite loudly at the time. So we're taking dope for...."

"What...??? You drugged me...??? You really have to, you guys..."

"Actually, we don't intend to use the anesthetic, miss. Just in case. But it turns out, we had to use it back then." Change the voice of Mr. Johan that is heard. "You rebelled quite strongly and shouted out loud once. Although it's raining heavily, but we're afraid that anyone will hear your screams, miss."

Arinda was upset listening to their explanation. He imagined how weak he was at the time.

"I'm sorry, Miss..." Say both almost simultaneously.

"Who told you to...?" Ask Arinda later. Despite knowing the answer, Arinda wanted them to answer.

The two only glanced at Ardan who was on their left. It seemed like the two people were beckoning with their tails, unable to name.

Arinda who still wanted to hear their answer, repeated the question again.

"Who told you to...?" This time, his tone was quite frightening, and made the two people choose to talk.

"T.. Tu's.. Mr. Ardan, Miss..." Said Mr. Alex who wanted to end things quickly.

"Hey.., you guys..." Ardan did not accept, he pointed at the two people with thick bodies. But Arinda's gaze that was like she was about to swallow him, made Ardan not dare to say anything more.

Arinda smiled snidely as she stared at them one by one. It was clear that there was something he was planning.

"I'll make the calculations with the three of you." Arinda.

"What...?Hey, why three...?" Ask Ardan who still does not accept.

"I will repay you...!!!"

Both Ardan's confidants just resigned to hear Arinda's words. While Ardan who wanted to talk again, instantly fell silent as Arinda's eyes suddenly looked at him mercilessly. They were frozen in place.

Victor, who had been a loyal spectator, giggled at their behavior. Especially when he saw Ardan who did not dwell in front of Arinda.

"Hey, you..." Suddenly Victor shrieked at the cry of someone fixed on him. He looked at the owner of the voice.

"Think of the right reply for them...!!!"

"Hey, Miss. Why are you involving me..? I didn't do anything..." Victor shouted helplessly towards Arinda who had already climbed the stairs.

"I'm waiting for your answer...!!!"

Arinda yelling. Victor felt intimidated by Arinda's sharp glare from upstairs. Then Arinda disappeared behind the door of her room.

The four gallant men downstairs, just looked at each other and still did not understand what was happening. Being the months of a horrible little girl in broad daylight.

"Ish.., Really.." Ardan feels stuck with his own game.
