Magic Love
Feel the Love

...***...

Since the incident on the bridge, Juno has visited Aruna's office more often. His stern attitude was again shown only in front of Aruna alone. While Aruna's attitude towards his family, especially with his papa is still a cold war. They meet only in the company as professional superiors and subordinates. And as for Kezia, Aruna had not dared to meet the woman. I don't know, it feels like Aruna isn't ready to acknowledge her as a one-father sister.

For Aruna's residence, of course Juno can easily track it. He just looked for the Princess and asked the innocent little girl.

Like this afternoon, the lunch hour at Aruna's workplace had already arrived. The woman is seen cleaning up the files that are part of her job, and closing the laptop that is the main tool for her job.

"Mom Aruna, where are we going to eat?" tanya Indira who stands side by side with Yoga next to Aruna cubicle. The two men had been invited by Aruna to have lunch together. As for Dena, he had already gone ahead of them. He rejected Aruna's offer and said he had an appointment with his friend.

I just answered his assistant's question. Aruna's cell phone ring distracted her. There is a Juno name on the main screen that makes phone calls.

"Attime, yeah!" Aruna slightly moved away from her co-worker, to pick up the phone from Juno. Then stick the flat object in the ear after pressing the receive button.

"Yes, Juno. What's up?" ask Aruna.

"Hello, Aruna. I'm still in your office, huh. Lunch together, yuk!" Juno, who had just finished his management stint at Aruna's office, did not immediately return to his office after the trial was over. The man deliberately waited for Aruna until lunchtime.

"I have an appointment for lunch" said Aruna. His head turned to Indira and Yoga who were waiting for him to make a call. Feel bad. Aruna kept the phone away from her mouth and said quietly to the two assistants, "You guys go first. I'll be followed."

Indira and Yoga nodded in understanding. "We wait at the front restaurant there, yes, Mom," Indira told them of their destination, then left the room. Aruna just smiled while nodding, then spoke back to Juno who had become a mosquito.

"Who do you have to eat with? Just cancel, yeah! You don't pity me. I'm tired of waiting for you from now on." Juno's voice instantly sounded clear across the phone.

Aruna gave a rough breath. The man did indeed keep his promise not to force his will violently like last time. But now the effect is like asking for mercy. Juno made use of Aruna's unbearable attitude.

"I have promised Indira and Yoga to eat together. It doesn't feel good to them that I'm the one who's canceled," Aruna subtly refused. He's not acting so hard anymore. That was because Juno's attitude was too sweet when facing Aruna who was always cruel.

"So you're more willing to refuse my invitation?" Again, Aruna had to be diligent in sighing. Juno's attitude was now indeed approaching childishness.

"It's not. I have to say what's the same to them? I promise you, I'm the one who denies."

"Just like a song" Juno said, chuckling.

"I'm serious, Juno. Tomorrow, yes, eat with him" Aruna's pinta.

"No way, tomorrow I have a review at an out-of-town branch company. Fear not to rush if the promise of lunch is with you. Now just now, yeah. I've been nunguin you since, you know. Yeah, huh?" Silent for a moment. Juno was like waiting for Aruna's answer, before long the man returned to his voice when only silence was created, "let me say the same your friends, if you want to eat with a new boyfriend."

"God!" Aruna rebukes Juno. The man chuckled across there. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you they can't come to eat together. But we're eating it not the area here, yeah. I also want to eat meatballs again," said Aruna finally relented.

"Fat meatballs, anyway? Haven't you had lunch?" juno Protest.

"You, no? If you don't want to, yes, then. I'm staying nyamperin my friends, nih."

"Yes, yeah, yeah. Where you gonna meet? I'm already in your company parking lot" Juno said.

"You get out first! Wait for me at the front stop that deket the company. I'll walk there later" Aruna said.

"A lot of talk, ah. Just wait there!" After saying that, Aruna pressed the end call button. A smile she put on her lips. No doubt she feels funny too.

...***...

Arriving at the stop specified by Aruna. He immediately found Juno's car parked not far from there. Then knocked on the car door glass, and immediately opened the door by Juno. "Old, huh?" aruna asked after she sat down at the wheel.

Juno smiled. "No, kok. Make you wait a thousand years I want," he said.

Aruna almost spewed out her bowels hearing Juno's trembling. He just smiled forcedly in response to the man's seduction. "Yok, walk!" tell him while facing forward.

...***...

Fifteen minutes Juno's car cuts through the bustling streets of the capital smoothly. Aruna takes Juno to his subscription meatballs seller. They ordered meatballs and drinks to their taste.

While waiting for their meatballs to be served, the two seemed to talk lightly. Juno occasionally throws jokes and tantrums at Aruna, which makes the girl laugh sometimes.

Ten minutes of meatballs they ordered were already done. Aruna roasted herbs that did not match his tongue while tasting. "Oh, yes, Jun. Later in the afternoon I want to go to your cafe, yes," said Aruna while tasting the meatballs.

"Well? You want to see me, okay?" tanya Juno was confident.

Aruna shakes. "I'd like to see chef Al. I haven't seen him in a long time, I miss him too."

Hearing that Juno scowled in annoyance. Don't know, did that woman, if what she said just hurt Juno? It was like being pierced in pain, then sprinkled with salt on it. Whoa, Aruna!

"Why, anyway, you prefer that Al if you want to vent. You, can you tell me? What am I lacking?"

"Less salt is vinegar" Aruna said, tasting her tongue.

"Huh? Less salt equal vinegar?" Juno repeated the words Aruna.

Aruna looked up at the meatball in front of her. Then nod your head. "Yes, try rasain!" A spoonful of meatballs went straight in without any excuse to Juno's mouth. "Where? Really, right, less salt is equal to vinegar?" asked Aruna with her innocent face.

Juno almost choked on the freshly slit meatballs in her throat. He then cut a glass of water to relieve the pungent spicy taste in his throat. "You mean the meatball?" tanya Juno made sure.

"Is he, moreover? We are, right, eating meatballs again" said Aruna who seemed to be unfocused on Juno's last words.

Juno patted his forehead slowly. Then shift two bowls of meatballs that are on the table that block their bodies when facing.

Aruna was stunned when both hands were grabbed and held by Juno. He tries to rebel, but Juno's hand grip is too strong for him to fight. "I know I wasn't the one who met you first when you were having trouble back then. But I beg you, from now on allow me who you trust to listen to all your grievances, Aruna! I'm a good listener, I can also give advice that can make you rise. I ... want to be a part of your life. Trust me, yes!"

Both Aruna's eyes twitched in confusion. Staring at the two glittering netra before him. There is no doubt in that net. Juno's words successfully touched the recesses of his heart, making Aruna become a little gameless. His heart was beating faster. His blood flow rippled making his body suddenly bristled. Aruna felt a strangeness in her body, especially her heart that was slipping without knowing what the cause was. Does that mean, Aruna already feels love?
