Poison of Love Arsenio
The Last Apple Pieces

"Why do you suddenly seem to want to relax the attack, Boss?" asked Ajisaka in surprise. The man with a little beard adorning his chin stared fixedly at Arsenio.

While the boss himself sat comfortably while leaning on the back of the garden chair. Arsenio's right hand fingers clamped the cigarette that was still smoking, while her left hand was placed on the sandals she used to wear while inside the house. The bright brown-eyed man stared at the atmosphere of the night that was not too late and was still quite crowded, because the faint-hearted still heard the sound of traveling merchants on the front road.

"I've only thought about the impact of all this over and over again. It feels too tiring if you continue to fight and try to beat each other. My wife is also currently pregnant. I just want to live a quiet life and start well" explained Arsenio accompanied by a soft breath.

"So, you want to take the second plan alone, Boss? If I personally will do as ordered. Whatever you are instructing, I will certainly do it as well as possible," said Ajisaka calmly.

"Yes, Ji. I know that you and Dwiki are two very reliable people. You will always be my confidants. Anyway, early next month both my parents will be back from Holland. Papa has finished treatment and my mother also has a lot of business to be completed in Indonesia. While I still have the rest of the work." Arsenio smoked her cigarette again.

"Well, Boss. Then I will arrange everything. You just sit sweetly, until all the evidence that leads to Biantara we can get," Ajisaka replied convincingly. "However, before that I wanted to meet Dwiki in person, but he said he was busy right now."

"Yes. Since becoming Winona's personal driver ...." Arsenio was silent for a moment. He hung up his words and seemed to think. However, what Arsenio thought did not reveal in front of Ajisaka.

"Why, Boss?" ask the cousin Dwiki looks curious.

"It's okay," replied Arsenio with a deep smile. After turning off the rest of the cigarettes in the ashtray, the Dutch man then moved from his seat. "I'm going in first, Ji. If you still want to be here, please continue." Arsenio patted the arm of the man who was three years older than her. He also passed inside.

However, Lievin's eldest son seemed to stop his steps when he was already in the doorway. Arsenio turned back to Ajisaka who was still fun to enjoy the rest of his cigarettes. "Anika is a fun girl. He is also good at singing," Arsenio said suddenly, making Ajisaka immediately look over with a look of wonder.

"I will test it sometime" said Ajisaka, smiling widely. Although the man had sharper eyes when compared to Dwiki, but it did not make him look evil.

Meanwhile, at the residence of Biantara Sasmita. Dwiki and Winona are still busy talking near the pool. There are many discussions that they talk about, from serious themes to something in the form of mild jokes. Not infrequently, Winona was made to laugh by all the jokes thrown by the private driver.

"By the way, it's night. Don't you have an important event tomorrow?" tanya Dwiki ended the warm conversation.

"There's some, but I can leave a little afternoon. So, if you wake up late it feels like you can still catch up with time," replied Winona while pulling both her legs from the pool. "Do you want to sleep, Ki?" ask Winona who was standing by then.

"I used to sleep late, Non," said Dwiki who was also in a standing position. He then walked to the table where there was a dirty plate they had eaten. Without saying much, Dwiki immediately took care of it. He piled the plate into one, then carried it. "Come," invite the man with the hair that has started to shove. He hinted for Winona to follow him in immediately.

Winona did not argue much. After reaching for the empty bottle, she immediately followed Dwiki's steps into the kitchen. He took an apple from the fruit basket on the table. Skillfully, the young lady sliced it, while Dwiki washed the dirty dishes earlier. "Should you wash it yourself, Ki?" ask Biantara Sasmita's only daughter without looking.

"Want to?" bargain Winona. He put some apples in a small dish.

Dwiki also approached, then stood near Winona while leaning part of the body on the edge of the granite countertop. Arsenio's loyal adjutant glanced at Winona who was not much taller than him without a pair of stilettos. Dwiki took one piece of apple, then ate it. "So, mister Biantara will be back the day after tomorrow?" tanyanya reopened the conversation.

"Yes. Dad and Mom usually go to Singapore for a week. If that's the case, then all my office business is handled. It feels so tiring every day struggling with everything that .... have you ever thought of taking revenge on the people who have hurt you?" Winona suddenly raised a question that sounded very strange. However, since Dwiki already knew that, then he was not surprised anymore.

"I mean .. you want to see the people who have ruined your life being just as devastated or maybe even more so" Winona said.

"Should it be?" Dwiki again took one more piece of apple from the small plate that Winona still held.

"I don't know, Ki. People may think that I am a very smart and strong woman. In fact, the reality is that everything in me is just a mask" Winona said slowly.

"I'm tired of always having to look beautiful and look perfect. My face felt very heavy and wanted to go out of the house without any makeup at all. I'm also uncomfortable wearing stilettos all day. I want to go everywhere in legendary flip-flops like you wear often. I'm ...."

"Why do you keep pushing yourself in everything? Why always keep something that makes you feel uncomfortable. If it continues like that, then this life will be passed in vain. There is nothing left but regret. Time will never be played." Dwiki took another apple, while Winona had not eaten it at all.

"If time could be turned, I would never fall in love with a man like him. I would also choose to be an ordinary woman who ...."

"It's not good to regret what happened. If everyone thought so, then there would never be a learning about the meaning of life. If I wanted to, I would ask God not to take my parents too quickly. That way, maybe I shouldn't complain to myself. However, I will definitely not be the self-sufficient me I am today." Dwiki again took the apple pieces, until he did not realize that only one more piece was left in the plate.

Winona who had put on a serious look while listening to the words of the man next to her, immediately widened her eyes. A moment later, the twenty-five-year-old woman put on a sulking face. Once again Dwiki found something new from the lady, which is the spoiled side that looks very normal. "Excession!" winona protests while hitting Dwiki's arm in annoyance.

While the man only chuckles amusedly when responding to it. "Yes already. This is for you." Dwiki brought the last piece of apple closer to Winona's mouth. However, when Winona was about to eat it, Dwiki immediately put it into his own mouth. Winona is getting annoyed, especially Dwiki deliberately toying with him.

Familiarity felt. They are now not only joking through words, but have started to physically touch each other. Somehow at first, when Winona's slender waist is now in the arms of the sturdy driver who is fun.

Their eyes met each other. The view that now feels deeper and full of meaning felt by the two lovebirds. Slowly, Dwiki's hand began to turn on the beautiful face of Winona who also seemed not to want to refuse the treatment. Winona fell silent and accepted with her eyes closed, as Dwiki gently touched her plain lips. He was finally able to enjoy the rest of the apple, right from inside the man's mouth.
