Magic Love
Kezia's Request

...***...

As planned. The next day, Juno comes to Aruna's company. Aruna who already knew first acted ordinary. Not like his coworkers who behave excited with all his makeup. Who else if not Dena.

"Make-up I'm stuck, aren't you, Ra?" Dena asked Indira who was focusing on her work inputting financial data. The girl turned towards Dena. A little look up so that it is clearer to see the face of the superior behind the cubicle.

"Yes, his face was like flour," replied Indira honestly. Aruna and Yoga who were there almost blew up a laugh. Luckily they could hold him back, because otherwise, Dena's voice would have broken their eardrums with her scolding.

"Eh, who are you? It's expensive powder. Time is like flour." Dena looked at her face at the small mirror in her hand. He did not accept expensive powder likened to tapioca food. Indira spread her shoulders no matter. His innocent face felt completely innocent.

Aruna knew Dena was dressing up in such a way because she said the handsome CEO of her idol–Juno Abercio, had arrived at their company, and was now in the president's room of directors. Aruna decided to leave her office. Aruna didn't want to listen to Dena's next babble.

"I go to the toilet first, yeah!" Aruna said goodbye and left immediately without waiting for a response from her co-worker.

Arriving at the toilet, Aruna simply washed her face in the sink that was outside the toilet room. Aruna closed her eyes while a water droplet swept across her face. Feeling a cold sensation that made his face fresher than before.

"Hi, Re."

Aruna was slightly jolted as she opened her eyes. A Kezia suddenly stood next to him and greeted. I don't know when the woman entered the bathroom. Not even the sound of her footsteps was heard by Aruna.

"You're like a ghost, you're surprised to know!" decak Aruna sighed and then wiped his face with the tissue he took from his place near the sink.

"Aren't you like a ghost, who likes to disturb my life?"

"You mean?" Aruna was facing Kezia. His forehead creased trying to digest the woman's words.

"Yes, you are the ghost of my life. Since fate brought our mother and father together. My life changed because of that."

Aruna smiled lightly. "When it turns into a rich man, and has a papa figure. That's, right, what you want?" tukas Aruna with a soft tone.

"You're wrong, Re. We were never interested in your wealth. That's why my mother didn't want me to work under her leadership. And yes, I did get the figure of papa, but I lost the figure of mama. You know, ever since we came into your life, Mama's been more concerned with your feelings. Mama always told me to give up on you, but you never considered my mother's affection. To you, we are just the bad guys who have taken your papa. You're selfish, Re! You're selfish!" Kezia pointed out at length. The strands that he had been holding all this time finally ejected accompanied by melted tears that came out.

Aruna budging. His memory recalls the time he lived and the stepmom. The woman who had taken her papa had never been rude to her. You could even say very good to him. However, somehow his heart could never see that kindness as a sincerity. He always thought it was a pretense.

It happened because Aruna also always remembered the memories when she had not lived with them. After her parents divorced, Aruna went with her mother. He was very small at the time. The fact that the mother struggled to live alone made her hate the new wife of her father, who was soon married after divorcing her. Especially when he knew the mother suffered severe pain, then died. How broken Aruna's heart was. He who is still in school must live with the person who has ruined his happiness for fulfilling his mother's will.

However, Aruna is not a child who is not devoted to parents. He still wants to help the company of his father who is experiencing a setback. After completing his academic studies abroad. Aruna who often confine himself never appear to be his son Surya in public. So rarely do people know, if Aruna is the biological child of the owner of the food and beverage company where she works today. Aruna is Surya's daughter from her first marriage.

"Wait first! I'm not just here to talk about it," exclaimed Kezia.

"Tell me! I don't have much time." Aruna brushed off Kezia's hand, without looking back at her.

"Never approach Juno! He's mine."

Hearing that, Aruna turned to face Kezia. Both of his eyebrows were clutched with furrowed eyebrows. What does Kezia say if Juno is his? Is it possible that Juno already has a lover, then seduces her? In that case, she is the third person in her stepbrother's love story.

"Juno's your boyfriend?" asked Aruna with a full glance.

"Not yet, but I love him. I don't want to give up on you anymore, Aruna. Let me get my happiness too. Please, you don't act so cool in front of him. He wouldn't be interested in you if you kept up your appearance like this. Don't target him, Aruna!"

Aruna's laughter broke instantly. Kezia's words just now were not like a warning, but rather a plea. Kezia is afraid of competing with Aruna.

"Why are you laughing? Is it too funny if I love someone?" kezia protest put on a sour face.

Aruna stopped her laughter, and left a grin on her lips. "You're funny. Why should I say that Juno is yours just because you love her. Not necessarily she loves you too, right?" aruna Ledek.

"Do you love him too?" Aruna was asked like that.

A moment later, he laughed again. "No, lah. I never believed in the same thing as love. It's lying!" Aruna said with emphasis after her laughter subsided.

"If we agree. Let's just say this is a request from me, in return for my defeatist attitude since childhood." Kezia can breathe a sigh of relief. Aruna is the same as before. Women who do not believe in true love.

"I don't promise, yeah." Aruna pressed her shoulders. Be stupid. "I never asked for any sacrifice from you. We can compete healthy to get what we want. Do not be a loser who gives up on the situation," said Aruna as challenging.

"Say you don't love Juno, but why would you compete with me?" Tension was again seen on Kezia's face. Aruna was playing herself.

"I could have avoided Juno, but would Juno have avoided me? Ask him first!" Kezia. As is known about Juno's changing attitude since meeting with Aruna. He was sure that the man had special feelings for his half-brother.

"No love doesn't mean you can't be friends, right? So, sorry. I refused your request." Aruna added her words, which left Kezia speechless a thousand languages.
