Love Heals Wounds
52. Gazebos

Aaron is looking at all the evidence they gathered to bring down Arneta, including evidence of his affair with Roki that was obtained from a spy at the hotel.

"Women can be more dangerous than men" he murmured softly.

"True, so never underestimate their kind. Even if they look meek and beautiful like roses, they can turn into deadly weapons." Bagaskara.

Aaron smiled wryly. "Including Audrey."

"Yes, including him." Bagaskara smiled amusedly. "So you don't think you're gonna be a bad guy anymore, do you?" he said while playing his eyebrows.

Aaron chuckles at that. "Of course not pa." Aaron lowered. "He's so precious to me, after everything we've been through, I'm not gonna waste him."

Bagas patted his son's shoulder. "Good."

"But, who are Arneta's hired men?"

"They are Sebastian's men. Sebastian's family builds a personal bodyguard service business after Tiara's death. That's the information I've been given." Bagas sipped his tea.

"Papa tells Sebastian that Roki is helping the woman. And it turns out that Arneta asked Roki to arrange for everyone to be involved, so Roki hired Sebastian's men. The reward for Roki's cooperation was Sebastian's subsidiary in the city of Y."

Aaron nodded his head at the words of his father and then sipped his tea. They were enjoying an afternoon at the gazebo in the front garden of the mansion.

Before long, a silver Ford Ranger appeared. The car looks dirty, reddish mud looks filled the tires and splashed on some of the car's body. Isak and Tika came out with beaming faces.

"Good afternoon." greeted Isak and Tika at the same time as they entered the spacious gazebo.

"Sore. Just finished offroad?" Bagas looked at his sister's car.

"Yes, Tika felt bored with her routine" Isak said as he sat down.

Edward and a few of the waiters standing around them were springing up serving tea and his companion who was already located on the food trolley.

"Tante, I called Audrey. But the number is no longer active. I forgot to tell aunt."

"Gosh, sorry. It's aunt's fault." Tika patted her forehead. "When she took all her stuff, Audrey didn't pick up the phone she gave her. So now he's using his own phone."

Tika opens her phone and shows Aaron, Audrey's mobile number.

"Have missed ya." Tika seduces.

"Of course, since that event we have rarely met because of the busyness in the office." Aaron looks lethargic.

"Why not ask your father to ask him?" Isak gave advice.

"Sebastian wants Rangga who was married first, Audrey's new." Bagas.

The roar of a car made them all speechless. Seen Mercedes Benz S Class silver approaching the mansion.

"Waiting for someone?" ask Tika on Bagas.

"So Marthen called, he said Sofia would come with the file. I said it tomorrow."

"The name is also effort." Tika's voice sounded cynical.

"The vain enterprise." Isak. "The way he looked at Aaron the other day made my stomach churn."

"You look so sick of Isaac." Bagas smiled amusedly.

"Yes, because he looks like a stray cat after a fish." Isak did not like the typical aggressive woman like that.

The car stopped near the main door, the woman driving it down very gracefully. Sofia knew that the people in the gazebo were watching her, so she started acting like a graceful and weakly graceful woman.

This afternoon he wears a plaid motif dress along the knee, equipped with flat shoes in dark blue. Her hair was intentionally left unraveled, and her make up this time was thin. It was different when they had lunch at the restaurant the other day. The look makes sofia look younger.

"Is she trying to look like Audrey?" Tika squinted her eyes.

Aaron looked the other way, reluctant to observe the woman who had made him uncomfortable. If it wasn't for work, Aaron wouldn't have been so friendly.

"Good afternoon, Mrs." Sofia smiled sweetly.

"Good afternoon Miss Marthen, please join us" said Bagas showing the hospitality of the host.

The girl entered then sat down gracefully, her smile never fading.

Aaron, who was looking at his phone, stared at him. As Aaron stared, Sofia smiled shyly while tucking her hair into his ear. Aaron shuddered in horror at that, let alone the call of Kak Sofia.

"We're not that familiar Miss Marthen" said Aaron blatantly.

"It doesn't have to be familiar, because Sofia is one year younger" Sofia said kindly, Aaron only sighed harshly.

Brother, Sofia? This girl is too!!! Isak snarled in the heart. Her hands clenched, Tika who saw that directly rubbed her husband's back.

"Where's the file Marthen wants to give you?" Bagas tried to melt the atmosphere that felt strange because of this aggressive girl.

Sofia took out a file from inside her bag and handed it to Bagas with a sweet smile. Not to forget he lifted a paper bag bearing the famous bakery.

"It's a Red Velvet cake, I hope Brother Aaron likes it" he said as he placed the paper bag on the table.

"Thank you." replied Aaron briefly.

There was the sound of the roar of a sports motor from the gate, before long seen the BMW HP4 sports motor in black and white variations. Judging from the silhouette of the rider, it seems that she is a slender woman. He parked his bike next to the mercedes silver earlier.

Outfit worn all black. Starting from ankle boot, trousers, jackets even full face helmets are worn. Make everything in the gazebo curious. Tika seemed to be smiling happily, as she was the one who called the rider to the mansion.

Before getting off the bike, the rider opened his helmet. Her long and beautiful hair immediately fell down as she pulled the helmet off her head. It was clear Aaron was holding his breath when he saw the girl's face.

Audrey looks very pretty with the outfit rider she is wearing. And that strengthened Aaron's conviction. The savior of the past few months was Audrey. Aaron smiled happily to find that thought flashed through his mind.

The girl stepped quickly towards the gazebo after putting the helmet on the bike.

"Good afternoon." said he.

"Good afternoon." replied everyone there at the same time. The friendly smile looks fluffy even on the face of the maid.

Except for Sofia, he stared cynically at Audrey. His eyes scanned the girl from head to toe. He increasingly disliked let alone see Aaron flabbergasted staring at the arrival of Audrey even had time to hear the young man's bated breath.

"This is the design that aunty asked for." said Audrey as she opened the drafting tube that was crossed on her shoulder. He pulled the paper from the tube and gave it to Tika.

"Mode." sizzled Sofia and sounded very clear.

Tika raised one eyebrow. "Did you take my job for granted Miss Marthen?!" tika's sharp, piercing gaze rained down on Sofia.

"Ti-no, mom-it's not that mom...."

"I told him to come here because after offroad my husband and I didn't go straight home. Unlike your father who sent his daughter to a house that does not have a House Mistress." Tika's sentence sounded piercing.

"I-i..." Sofia is still stamped.

"Now my artisans will come, therefore I..."

"Auntie." Audrey held onto Tika's shoulder, she flanged slowly as Tika looked at her.

Tika exhaled her breath violently. Her mood became damaged due to Sofia's speech.

Tika's seat next to Aaron made the young man easily reach Audrey's hand. With a single pull Audrey was already on Aaron's lap.

"You don't want to appease your future husband, hmm?" Aaron grabbed Audrey's hand and kissed her.

"Geez, brother, you're really shameless." Audrey paused and tried to stand up.

"Take us as a plant." Bagas glanced at Aaron, his expression looking funny.

There was laughter coming out from the mouth of the Saka family. Edward and the other waitress looked down and smiled. While Sofia clenched her hands, she held back the fury that went out with all her might. The words of the future husband spoken by Aaron confirmed the reason for the puja-filled gaze that was always visible in the young man's eyes when he saw Audrey.

But Sofia Marthen always gets what she wants, so she won't consider herself to have lost. As long as they have not officially become a married couple, as long as Sofia will continue to approach Aaron.

I'll bring you to my knees, Aaron Bagaskara. I'll make you look at me full of cravings.
