Love Heals Wounds
4. Damned Letter

One week of treatment at the Hospital left Aaron tormented. He who is used to working even crazy work, currently just lying relaxed like this makes him crazy. Damian, who visited her every day to be seductive, made himself more and more uncomfortable.

"If you have a lover or a wife, then you'll enjoy a relaxing time like this" Damian said.

"Can't you say a word that pleases my heart?" Aaron grumbling. But honestly he was happy, he realized his friend sincerely noticed him.

"Gustaf, how's your condition?" aaron asked Gustaf who was visiting his room.

"I'm fine, sir. Thank you." replied Gustaf.

"What are you working on? I saw that you were busy with your salary." this time Damian asked.

"Oh this, I'm contacting the event organizer to prepare for the company's anniversary celebration."

Aaron slapped his forehead." I almost forgot, three more days."

"Yes sir. The preparation is almost 100%."

"You are indeed Gustaf's reliable assistant." praised Damian while patting Gustaf's shoulder gently. Gustaf only smiled thinly while bowing, for him praise is an alarm to work harder and more loyal to his employer.

"You must attend Damian."

"It's an honor for me Aaron. Unfortunately in two days I have to go to country K."

"Country K? what's for?" ask Aaron.

"I passed the selection of the World Peace Forces from this country and will be sent to country K to join forces of other countries."

"What about your future wife?"

"He can wait for me."

"Aren't you afraid he's taken people?" Aaron Goda.

"If he betrays me, it means he's not my soul mate" Damian replied casually.

"Easy then?" Aaron couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's that easy. For me an affair can happen not because there is one party who is nervous, but because the other party also opens the door."

"You're not gonna kill that bastard?"

"No, instead I'll come to thank him for taking the caterpillar out of my life and career"

"Cock caterpillars?"

"And if we get caterpillars we can itch" Damian replied with a chuckle.

Hearing that answer Aaron laughed, while Gustaf just looked down and smiled.

This afternoon Aaron and Gustaf were allowed to return home. Damian drives Gustaf back to his apartment and Aaron is picked up by his family's driver.

He looked at the big house with an upset heart, the hell of the world, he said in his heart.

"Welcome, sir." Edward the Chief Maid greeted as he bowed.

"Thank you Edward." Aaron smiled.

With weight he entered and stepped straight into his room on the left wing of the Mansion.

Just about to turn into the hallway towards the room, her steps came to a halt as a beautiful woman dressed in sexy standing in the middle of the road blocked her steps.

"Dear Aaron, my future husband, you're finally home." confidently the woman developed her best smile and stepped closer to Aaron who was just silently staring. Aaron stared in disdain and stepped aside avoiding the woman.

"Until when you avoid me, baby, I miss you so much." The woman caught Aaron's arm and pursed her lips.

Intention to look cute, but somehow it makes Aaron want to vomit. He violently removed Juliana's hand from her arm.

"Don't be like that Aaron, be nice to your future wife" said a middle-aged woman as she climbed down the stairs. "Why didn't you tell us there was a sudden trip?"

Aaron just stared intently at the woman, threw his face away while grunting softly and continued his steps. After entering, he closed the door very hard.

"Auntie, look. He's ignoring me again."

"Prophe Juliana, however, you will soon be his wife" Aunt Arneta told Juliana. "You look so pretty, where are you going, baby?"

"I'm going to go shopping" Juliana replied with a smile.

"Alright, be careful on the road."

"Yes." replied Arneta briefly as he waved his hand.

Aaron put on a bluetooth headset to call and stepped into a large window overlooking the park.

"Hello, do you have time?" ask Aaron to someone at the end of the line.

"Yes, I'm free right now."

"How has it been lately? Is good?"

"Not only good, but very good. I didn't think there was going to be any extraordinary change. It seems you should come visit often."

"Yes, I plan like that. Bram, I don't have much time, six months to go. What say?"

"I think I can, if the change can continue this fast."

"Thank you Bram, I'm counting on you."

"How are you doing right now?" ask Bram.

"I've recovered, there are only bruises, it will also fade by itself" said Aaron casually.

"Next time don't be like this, you can't let your guard down." Bram gives advice.

"Yes, I know that. Bram, how many Glock Meyer 22 with carvings are in circulation in the country?"

"Glock meyer with engraving? That's very specific. It must be a private collector who owns it, meaning no more than ten people. Why?"

"I'm just asking. Thanks again Bram." Aaron disconnects with the sound of his bedroom door being knocked on.

Tok.dok..

"Yes." Yeah."

"Young master, dinner's ready. Madam is waiting for you to eat together." apparently a waitress is knocking.

"All right, I'll be there soon." Aaron headed for Walk in closet, took out an object from his pants pocket, looked for a moment at the object in his grip and then put it in a drawer.

By the time she arrived at the dining room, Arneta had already started eating. Aaron takes his place at one end of the rectangular table opposite Arneta. The atmosphere of dinner was very quiet, only occasionally heard the clang of eating utensils.

"Aaron, how are you?" Arneta started the conversation after the dessert was served.

"Good." answered Aaron briefly

"Why don't you tell me in person if you're going out of town?" Arneta still follows Edward's play, which tells Aaron that there is work out of town, not hospitalized.

"Didn't it make no difference?"

"I've been your mother for ten years. Can't you just be nice to me for a second, Aaron?"

"You're not my mother!" aaron replied coldly.

"Yes fine, it's up to you. The important thing is that I love you my son" Arneta said with a smile. "And don't forget, you must marry Juliana immediately to fulfill your papa's last will." Arneta.

"Why should Juliana? Can't I marry another girl?" Aaron hated the idea.

"Isn't it clearly written in the will. Your father wants it, Juliana is a good girl. And because no girl is your lover." replied Arneta casually.

"How will I have a lover if you terrorize a girl close to me."

"Aaron, your accusation hurt your mama's heart." Arneta looks sad with Aaron's words.

"Oh stop. I'm not a papa, so I won't work with that expression. Besides, as long as I don't see papa's body, I assume papa's alive." Aaron stood up to leave. "Regarding the cursed letter, even if there is a signature papa there, can not be proven authenticity. Moreover, the family lawyer did not know about any letters" he added as he passed away leaving the dining room.

Arneta's hands clenched, her face flushed withstanding the bubbling anger. Emotionally, he returned to his room on the second floor and immediately called someone while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Where? I need you" he said after someone picked up the phone. He nodded at the answer of someone at the end of the line.

"All right, I'll be leaving in an hour. See you soon." Arneta disconnected and entered Walk in closet to change clothes.
