Aran and his two children finally arrive at Sean's tavern. There the three of them were immediately greeted by Sean who was dressed as a coffee shop manager.
"Welcome" said Sean.
Aran Sean's eyes now look a little different from the office. If in the office he looks very neat and formal, in his shop the handsome man even looks more relaxed wearing a shirt that is rolled up to the elbow and aprons typical of his shop.
"Thank you for welcoming us." Aran then asks his two children to say hello and thank Sean.
"Hello uncle, thank you for being welcoming" Theo said politely although his face looked as indifferent as Sean had seen it.
"Yes together and..." Suddenly the tail of Sean's eyes were made to be misfocused by the presence of a small girl with shoulder hair tied to the side with a brightly colored ribbon clip that was next to the right side of Aran. He then scrunched his eyes while smiling trying to guess the cute girl. "Beautiful boy, you must be..."
"Hello Uncle Sean, my name is Selizia Haurin, but it's usually Jia's name, greetings."
Jia bergitu kindly greeted Sean, making the man's heart want to melt so stunned by Jia's hospitality and timidity. Yes, compared to Theo Jia is very contrasting, Jia nature is more like Aran is warm and soft. Unlike Theo who may be more like his father who knows who.
"Hello Jia, you're so sweet. I'm Sean Asuka, greetings." Sean shook Jia's small hand gently while throwing a sincere smile.
And without lingering, Sean immediately asked Aran and his two children to come in and enjoy all the facilities of the store. Sean's shop today looks crowded, probably because of the weekend, plus that Aran knows after browsing this shop is indeed one of the popular coffee shops in this city.
While Theo and Jia are on the third floor playing in the playground area. Sean seems to have just made coffee latte art for Aran. The man who had just made a goose-shaped latte art immediately presented it to Aran who was sitting at the bar table.
"Please."
Aran was amazed to see the latte art made by Sean. He didn't think Sean had this side. According to Aran besides a marketing director he is an artist and a cool coffee maker.
"Why is it only glanced and undrinkable? You don't like the picture, do you, Aran?"
"... Ah ma-no, it's just that seeing the picture is too pretty, I feel good to drink it."
Sean laughed amusedly.
"Why laugh?"
"You're so funny, Aran, I just don't think about it. But if you don't drink my latte, then you won't know how good my coffee is."
Sean's right. "I'm fine with drinking."
The latte coffee was wiped by Aran, and he immediately rounded his eyes to look at Sean while gasping.
"How does it feel?"
"It's really delicious, honestly, even though I've learned a little about coffee. But I really don't like coffee very much, but this lattice coffee I really like. I think this is gonna be my only favorite latte coffee!"
"really?"
"Yes really."
"Thank God..."
Sean was happy to hear that, for Sean, Aran's praise had really added to his confidence as a coffee shop owner.
While enjoying a latte coffee, Sean and Aran chatted casually. Sean was immediately amazed and fascinated to see every move of the girl sitting next to him. For Sean, Aran looks more beautiful than he usually sees in the office. Of course Aran was always beautiful because he was born that way, but today his hair is not tied or curled like in the office. His long hair is allowed to decompose beautifully and in terms of appearance, Aran is also very sweet and natural. Wearing a knee-length dress with arms that show little of her pretty shoulders. Simple but charming, that's what sean had in mind seeing Aran's current appearance.
"Siran, why do you see me that way?" Aran's eyebrows shriveled the wonder mark.
"Ah ti-no really. Just um— oh that I want to know about the news that I heard, said you almost want to be fired, is that true?"
After sipping his latten coffee and sighing Aran replied by assuring him.
"Eh why can, and why can you deal directly with Mr Ruka?"
"That's..." Aran did not hide anything, he told all the chronological events that happened to him at that time.
"Thank God I'm relieved then."
Sean was really calm when he found out Aran wasn't fired. But he was suddenly too was was to remember he knew exactly what Ruka's track record as CEO and the proud grandson of the Arshavin bloodline. Families that are very, very well-respected in this country even abroad are also quite well known. But that's not the point, Sean is only worried that if Aran deals with the family, he could be in danger considering the Arshavin family despite being known philanthropists, but they are also known to never be indiscriminate in facing their opponents.
"Aran, the point is I just want you to remember my message so that, never again deal with Mr. Ruka or his family."
From Sean's words, Aran can immediately know how much influence and power Ruka's family in this country, to a man who is also rich in dignity like Sean alone as if he did not dare to him.
"Yes I'll remember that."
Actually even though he was not reminded, Aran will also definitely avoid as much as possible he met and had relations with Ruka. Plus Aran already realized that her ex-husband is now no longer likely to remember her, and....
Aran suddenly had a grim face, remembering himself when he saw firsthand Ruka who was being held by the woman in the lobby at that time. He really can't lie that until this moment he still loves Ruka.
"Aran...?"
Sean touched Aran's hand on the table. But swiftly the girl immediately withdrew her hand as if refusing to be touched.
"Se-sean, I'm sorry I was daydreaming." Aran was a little embarrassed.
"Oh, that's okay..." Actually I was curious, what suddenly made her grim just now?
...🌸🌸🌸...
In a fancy billiard cafe, Ruka seems to be enjoying her time with her two friends Juan and Hiro. As usual, Ruka did quite often spend her free time in the cafe which happened to also belong to her friend Hiro's.
Ruka looked so good at thrusting the tip of the billiarad stick towards the balls on the green board while smoking a cigarette on her lips.
"Ah shit, I lost again!" Exclaimed Juan who was upset because he again lost to Ruka. While Ruka was just flat while peeping the tip of the billiard stick.
"You're not a talent."
"Did you say Hiro? I beat you once!"
"Damn! But... indeed my super handsome friend is always great in many ways, is it not Ruka?" Juan raised his eyebrows to look at Ruka while embracing the familiar.
And instantly Juan's hand was immediately knocked down by Ruka with his current flat face. Ruka did it because she knew Juan was teasing her.
"You're why it's so rude, we've been friends for a dozen years..." Reveal Juan while whining spoiled.
Among Ruka, Hiro, Juan and Lucas, Juan is indeed the youngest so it is natural that he is somewhat unstable and likes to be spoiled in others, especially Ruka.
"Juan you are noisy! Don't you know that young master Ruka Arshavin has been in a bad mood since yesterday!" Hiro was blunt as usual.
"Is that really Ruka's sister?"
Ruka did not answer and instead lit another cigarette on her lips and sucked it. But Juan who is basically nosy of course does not want to give up, he continues to urge Ruka and try to comfort her at the same time. "Oh come on Ruka... Is this about Bianca?"
"What else is it?" Sahut Hiro who casually opened a bottle of wine to give to Ruka and Juan.
"Oh so you really don't want to be engaged to that woman?"
Of course Ruka doesn't want to. Indeed, who would want to get engaged to a woman who has ever appeared to you before, like there is no self-esteem!
Ruka immediately downed the wine poured by Hiro just now.
"Hey Ruka," Juan patted the shoulder of the man taller than him.
"How about you just have fun with them!" Juan pointed towards the women sitting across there. Yes the women were acquaintances of Juan who he deliberately asked to come to enliven the atmosphere and entertain his friends. Unfortunately Ruka is not Juan who is an acute playboy. Ruka doesn't like to collect so many women. Not that Ruka never paid women to accompany her to drink, but for Ruka even if she hired women to accompany her is not such an arbitrary woman.
"You just do your hobby of collecting women yourself. After all those women of yours are nothing that meets my standards!" Said Ruka who seemed to have left.
"Have you left Ruka?" Hiro the cafe owner.
"Yes, I'm gonna get some fresh air outside."
"All right then."
"Hey Ruka, where are you going? I can find you a lot prettier if you want?" Juan keeps Ruka from leaving. But a moment later it seemed like he had no intention of holding it back, looking at Ruka who was already looking at him with her pouncing eyes.
Ruka then gives a credit card to Hiro as a sign of payment..
"Are you going to pay for it all today?"
"Yes!"
"OK, it's nice to have a customer like you, Mr. Ruka."
"I go first" said Ruka and then waltzed away.
...🌸🌸🌸...
On the way Ruka who was stopped at a red light, accidentally when looking to the left see the figure of Aran from a distance out of the holycoffee coffee shop that he knew was Sean's coffee shop. Ruka immediately frowned.
"Why he could be there, and..." With the face of Ruka's prestige. "From a distance she looked beautiful."
But instantly Ruka straightened her words earlier. "I must be in a mess, I can praise the woman who has doused me! What do I care about him for anyway!" Ruka also tried to ignore and immediately returned to drive a white bugatti car that he was driving.
Meanwhile, Aran and his two children also say goodbye to Sean.
From the look on his face, it looks like Jia and Theo are quite enjoying their time in the tavern owned by Sean. Especially Jia, the cute beautiful girl looks very cheerful after coming out of the playgroud.
"Do you like playing here?" Sean asked while crouching in front of Jia.
"Yes, I like it! Uncle's place is very fun, there are also many toys there! Is that right, brother?" Jia pulled the end of her brother's sleeve.
"Yes pretty good," Theo replied as usual somewhat indifferently.
"Thank God you're happy I'm happy too."
Sean stood up and thanked Aran for coming to his shop.
"Ah no, it is precisely me who should thank you for welcoming us so well."
"Either. But Aran you sure you don't want me to take you?"
"No, I'll take a taxi. Then I go home first... Kids come on thank you and say goodbye to Uncle Sean."
"Thank you uncle Sean, Jia was so happy. I can play again sometime, right?"
"Of course, beautiful Jia..." Sean smiled as he rubbed Jia's head.
"Uncle, thank you for welcoming us" Theo said.
"Sean we go home first, see you later."
"Yes, see ya."
Finally, Aran and his two children came home by taxi.
...^^^°°^^^...
In the silver bugatti car, Ruka who was driving looked agitated since passing Sean's coffee shop. Somehow he kept thinking and wondering what exactly Aran was doing in Sean's shop?
"Oh come...! Why am I so curious and so unsettled this is how it feels?"
