Magic Love

...***...

A month passed, Aruna's life went on as usual. Flat and full of activity. Juno never bothered him. Even for the board meeting at his company Aruna alone, Juno only told Kezia to represent him.

There is a sense of loss in Aruna, but it is best for them. Aruna who has not been able to open her heart to love, will only make Juno tormented with her feelings. The same with Alfath. They only met occasionally accidentally, and exchanged news through WhatsApp messages only.

That afternoon, Aruna was on her way back to her rented house. He saw the figure of the Princess sitting at the bus stop where she used to sell. The princess seems to be counting the money from her sale today.

"Daughter," muttered Aruna. He smiled at the little girl. Then pull the car over the shoulder of the road. It has been a month that Aruna has not met the Princess. Usually he would come to his house, if the little girl was not seen at the stop or at the terminal. However, due to Aruna's busy work lately. He did not get to see the girl at his house.

"Hello, beautiful," said Aruna to the Princess who was counting money.

Princess sontak. "Sir Aruna," he exclaimed and then hugged Aruna's body. The princess missed the girl too.

Aruna returned the Princess' embrace. "How are you, honey? I haven't seen you in a long time, yeah. Sorry, I rarely go to your house. I also rarely see you selling here. Brother's job nengpang, so–"

Sensing the Princess' trembling body in her arms, Aruna stopped her words. He pushed the Princess' body to see the little girl's face. "You why? You cry?" asked Aruna confused.

However, the Princess did not answer him directly. The little girl hugged Aruna again. His crying sounded heartbreaking. The clueless Aruna could only rub the Princess' back, trying to calm down. Then he herded the body of the Princess to sit in the waiting seat of the bus stop.

"Princess sit down first, yeah! Explain to brother, what really happened? Why are you crying like gini?" Aruna asked carefully.

The princess is still hiccuping. Sometimes he rubbed his snot with his palm. Aruna took a tissue from her small bag, then thrust it at the Princess. "This cake, honey!" the word obeyed by the Princess.

"Why you?" After seeing the Princess calm down a little, Aruna asked again.

"Grandmother, Brother. Grandma the Princess died." The princess cried again after explaining. Aruna was stunned for a moment, as if something was making her chest feel tight.

Aruna understood the feelings of the Princess. He was also abandoned by the person he loved the most in the world. The Princess' body went into Aruna's arms again. Trying to give her strength, even if she knew it wouldn't change things.

"I'm sorry Aruna, yes, Put. Brother doesn't know. When did your grandmother die?" tanya Aruna still holds the Princess.

The princess also broke away. He tried hard even though it hurt so much. Before the grandmother died she once said, if the Princess should not be sad too deep, because all living creatures will definitely die. Living in the world just waiting for your turn.

"Grandmother died two weeks ago, Sister," replied the Princess as she wiped the tears that continued to seep in her eyes. The princess did not want to look weak in front of Aruna.

"Now who are you living with?" ask Aruna to worry.

"Alone," replied the Princess with a bitter smile.

"You live with brother, yes! You were a kid. It's not good to stay alone" Aruna said. The princess shook her head in refusing Aruna's request.

"Why?" ask Aruna wonder.

"Daughter does not want to leave the house of the grandmother. If the Princess leaves, later the grandmother's house no one takes care of," replied the Princess firmly. Aruna smiled miris. His heart was like being sliced. Such a small child can solidify his heart to keep his grandmother's relics. Aruna wanted to do the same thing when her mother died. However, because he did not have the money to pay off his mother's debt that made the house as collateral. Debt borrowed by my mother for medical expenses. Aruna who knows nothing can only scavenge.

"But you're worried that you're living there alone. What if your brother lives with you. My sister's house is sold. Now I'm a vagrant, you know. But you take it easy, you'll pay like you're paying the contract now." Aruna smiled wryly considering her house sold for free. Yeah, free. Because the results of the sale of the house was never enjoyed by Aruna. Everything was given to Juno to pay for the man's luxury car repairs. Although the incident had happened a long time ago, Aruna just told the Princess.

"The story is long, Put. Later brother tell me. Now you come with brother to the contract, make bring things. Brother wants to move now." The princess nodded in agreement.

"Daughter's house is ugly, you know, brother. Is it okay if Aruna's sister lives there?" The princess was a little hesitant about the condition of her grandmother's house. Aruna was a rich man, there was no way he could stay in that shabby house.

"That's, um, easy. You can fix your grandmother's house. Later brother help, consider it a down payment pay the contract." The princess smiled hearing that. As a child, of course he was happy when his house would be made good.

"okay, Sis. We're dealing, yeah." Aruna looked at the small hand that stuck out before her. A little bit of a smile before he shook that hand to shake hands, like making a deal.

"OK," said Aruna agreed. The sadness of the little girl disappeared. Aruna's presence made her not feel alone.

...***...

"Oh, yes, Brother. At that time I had met the same om-om who had pretended to pinjem jack up those nights."

"Who?" Aruna who was driving her car for a moment turned her head, then returned to focus on the road ahead.

"That, Om Jun–Juno. Yes, Om Juno." The princess managed to remember Juno's name in her memory.

"Youtdoor? Where's where?" Aruna was a little. His heart immediately throbbed when he heard the name called.

"At deket minimarket. I knew the car, and then I knocked. At the time he looked very messed up, brother. He said he was heartbroken again," said the Princess considering the state of Juno when she met him that time.

"When did you meet him?" Aruna was curious. I don't know why his heart is not calm.

"Ehm .. If not wrong, a month ago. I inget, anyway. The next day, Grandma was very sick. I can't sell because I have to take care of grandma, then grandma died and only now I can sell again." The Princess's face returned. She must be sad to remember her grandmother who left.

"Where do you eat for a month if you don't sell?" Aruna tried to divert the Princess' grief by asking so.

"Kan, I have savings. Plus the money I got from the brother I still keep." Aruna remembers the money he once gave to the Princess.

"Then Juno said what time was it?" asked Aruna back on the main topic.

"Om Juno said he was upset with Aruna. Because Aruna's sister has been playing with her feelings. Give me hope, but I know I have a boyfriend."

Aruna gasped at the Princess's words. He did not expect that a respected CEO would confide in a little girl he had just met.

"What did you answer then?" scott Aruna again. The worry made him bite his lips.

"I told you everything. If Kak Aruna can not have a boyfriend, because Kak Aruna is afraid of being betrayed by her partner," explained Putri. Aruna grimaced while patting her forehead. He had indeed told the Princess about his family, but he never thought, if Juno would know his secret through the Princess' path.
