Ruka who had just arrived immediately entered his luxurious mansion.
"Sister!"
Upon arriving inside, Ruka immediately saw Karaz running towards her with a smile that made her look ridiculous.
"Son, I miss you...!"
Karaz who just wanted to hug Ruka also failed. Remembering Ruka who refused romantic between brothers even directly with one hand stopped Karaz before actually hugging him.
"Sister, I miss you come on. Let's hug." Karaz insisted he wanted to keep hugging his brother.
"Dare to force a hug I burn all your cars!"
Ruka succeeded instantly. Karaz stopped asking for a hug and instead showed his clear look.
"Sister, you've been cruel. But that's how my brother is" said Karaz who then smiled cheerfully again.
Ruka could only sigh as if she was no longer surprised by Karaz's behavior which was quite spoiled. Ruka herself is not too much trouble with Karaz's attitude which is quite fond of sticking to her. For Ruka even though Karaz is spoiled and likes to depend on him, he still considers him as a sister that he must take care of.
"You've just come home, haven't you, what champion in this race?" Ruka asked with flat intonation.
"I'm a one-foot champion, and in three months I'll be at the grand prix in Tokyo. You have to see me okay!"
"Yes if I have time," Ruka replied sounding indifferent.
But even though it sounded funny, Karaz was not offended at all. Given that he knows exactly that his brother's character is so. Because even though it looks like indifference, cruel and temperament, but Karaz knows very well that Ruka is really caring and loving.
"Oh, where is the old man?" Ruka asked while taking off her suit.
"Grandfather he's in his study. Oh right, brother, I heard you want a fiance with Bianca is that right?"
Ruka glanced sharply at Karaz and said. "How do you think?"
"Um— i-it seems to me that it's up to you hehe," Karaz replied in a panicked tone looking at Ruka's gaze. Moreover, he also knew that his brother did not have any feelings for Bianca.
"I'm going to see Grandpa first." Ruka went straight to her grandfather's room.
...🌸🌸🌸...
In his room, Aran, who had just finished bathing and changed his sleeping pajamas, was seen drying his wet hair. The heat of the wind that gushed from the hairdryer hole invaded Aran's wet hair until it slowly dried.
After drying his hair, Aran pulled out the hairdryer cord and put it back in his dresser drawer. Because it is done doing all its activities such as dinner, and bathing it feels like Aran wants to immediately lay down his body in bed and sleep. Unfortunately, it certainly cannot be done immediately, considering before going to bed he must accompany Jia and read her a fairy tale before going to bed. Because looking at the digital clock on the nightstand has shown at 09:00 p.m. Aran was prepared to invite Jia who is still in the main room drawing.
Aran was wearing his slipper slippers, and was about to leave the room. But his steps immediately stopped when he heard the ringtone of his phone ringing.
"Who's the phone at this hour?"
Feeling curious Aran immediately turned around, and immediately grabbed his cellphone which was none other than a gift from Rowen at that time.
When he saw the screen of his phone ringing, Aran immediately frowned while astonished to see a number that he did not know suddenly called him.
"Whose number is this? Is it possible for a prankster?"
Aran felt suspicious and hesitated to lift him up. But seeing his phone ringing incessantly, he couldn't stand it and finally picked up the call.
*Hello...
Uh this voice? Somehow Aran like to recognize the hiss sound that just sounded from his phone.
"Hello, who are you?" Aran replied with caution.
So you really don't remember my voice?
Huh uh?
His big eyelids opened wide shortly after he realized the owner of the husky voice was calling him. Of course, Aran's whole life he only knew one person who had a deep husky voice and sounded as gentle as he called.
"Tu-mister Ruka?"
... I thought you wouldn't realize.
"Sorry, but what's wrong? And...how do you know my number?"
...I think your question sounds demeaning to me....
Oh yeah I forgot, right now I'm talking to the richest world-class CEO in the country. Getting the number of a commoner like me was of course a trivial thing to him.
"I'm sorry. I forgot that you're a Ruka Arshavin, of course getting my phone number is as easy as clicking a finger."
... What are you— doing?
Aran was instantly killed and felt strange. Maybe if he was still the old Yuka, Aran would not be surprised like this. Unfortunately this is Ruka, the wealthy CEO who is known to be haughty and ruthless. How could I suddenly ask that?
... Hey are you still there, Miss Arana?
Arana's?
Inside Aran's chest was suddenly a gentle spring breeze. How not, the only person who often called him 'Arana' was only Yuka, and now he called her with the same call. It was as if he was talking to the figure of the old Ruka.
"W-yes, sir, what's wrong with me?"
^^^Look, I mean— I just wanted to ask. Do you have anything you want or need?^^^
Aran Langasung put on a confused expression.
^^^ I mean, ah well... The point is I still feel guilty about the charges back then. So I thought, to resolve this guilt of mine by granting your wish.^^^
"But didn't you compensate me by raising my salary ten times?"
It's true, but for Ruka he feels not yet calm.
Actually Aran does not know what he wants. Requesting car? But isn't that greedy...? Hem.. Let me think again.
.. Miss Arana?
"... Ah yes, tuan—"
...So is there your request?...
"... Um— I don't really know what I want right now. But I guess if you're willing, can you give me three tickets to the skyland playground?"
Ruka was a bit surprised to hear that.
... You sure that's all?
"Yes I'm sure."
... Why tickets to Skyland? Are you going there?
"I-that's yeah— like this, I mean there's a neighbor of mine that he'd love to take his son with. So, i..." Of course Aran can't possibly tell Ruka the truth if it's actually the ticket for her and their two children.
^^^Yes... I honestly don't care about your neighbors, but if that's what you want then I'll give it to you.^^^
Aran immediately smiled broadly hearing that.
"Thank you, sir, you're so kind. I really don't know how to say thank you."
...Strange girl! You don't have to say thank you, it's your compensation....
"Is that so...?
Yes it is...
Instantly the two chatter felt awkward. Both Aran and Ruka, inexplicably lost the topic but besides, both of them did not want to end their conversation immediately.
""Then I..."" Ruka and Aran accidentally talk together. Ruka finally relented and told Aran to speak first.
"Yes it's me— um I mean, I think it's the phone." Aran actually did not want to hang up the phone, but at the same time he was confused to discuss let alone.
... All right then— good night.
"Yes, good night sir, see you."
. See you, good night.
"Good sleep..."
Finally Aran closed the call, and at that moment his face suddenly reddened after hearing Ruka's soft heavy voice saying good night. Aran's heart rate also became erratic.
"Oh my God how is this? Ruka's masculine voice is really still ringing in my brain!"
He immediately patted both cheeks while waking up not to be lulled, with the charm of the man again. Aran must once again be slapped to be aware of the reality, if Ruka is no longer related to him. However, Ruka who had forgotten him had no right to hope anymore. Plus their social status like heaven and earth makes it must remember to tread.
Because in this case it was Aran who was supposed to wake up immediately from his dream.
"Yourf!" Aran sighed. "Why does it feel so hard to remove it from my mind and heart?"
