VENUS (Chapter 26)The next few days. Arumi acted so cold after the incident at the club. Arumi no longer talks as much as before. Arumi followed every word Frans said without any objection. Today Arumi happened to have a schedule to meet her Daddy's friend. The meeting will discuss Arumi's plans to launch the newest application under the auspices of his Daddy's company. Investors are interested in the ideas put forward by Arumi in the plan to launch its application. The meeting, which lasted about an hour, finally reached a mutual agreement. Arumi managed to get capital of 1 billion to build the application he had been planning for a long time. *** Arumi returned alone, Frans didn't come home because he still had to take care of his work. Arumi looked gloomy and didn't talk much while on the trip. Venus occasionally watched the beautiful girl from behind the rearview mirror. Venus really wanted to reprimand Arumi, at least open the conversation so that the atmosphere wou
VENUS (Chapter 27)The day began to turn dark. However, Arumi and Venus never came home. Frans, who had been at home since 14:00 WIB, was worried because his daughter had not yet arrived. After returning from work, he was surprised because Arumi had not yet arrived home. Even though his daughter had already left the office earlier than him. After contacting Venus. The bodyguard said that Arumi was with him at the shopping center. After hearing the news, Frans could breathe a sigh of relief. "Where are they, they haven't come home at this hour?" Now he was worried again because Arumi still hadn't arrived home. When he called, his cell phone was not active. Even with Venus. I wonder if something happened to two people whose ages are not that far apart now, to the point that both of their cellphones are not active? Bad thoughts then filled the empty space in Frans' head, "Where did that kid go? Could it be that Arumi met that bastard again?" There was no reason for him to t
VENUS (Chapter 28)"Excuse me! Sir, it's me!" Venus called, knocking on Frans' study door. "Come in!" Frans shouted from the other end of the room. Venus took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Try to stay calm. Venus pulled the door handle, moved it slowly and heard a soft rubbing sound. Not long after, the door opened. Venus looked around, "Come in!" ordered Frans who was already sitting in the middle of the room. Venus nodded, she immediately closed the door. Walk slowly towards Frans who is at the end of this room. The feel of the room which is dominated by bookshelves clearly shows that this place is only intended for work and nothing else. "Sorry sir, I came late," said Venus. However, his sentence was interrupted when Frans closed his laptop and looked at him coldly. Venus swallowed heavily. He was unable to continue the sentence which he thought would further worsen his employer's mood. "Be honest with me, where did Arumi go this afternoon?" Frans immediately asked a q
VENUS (Chapter 29)Still on the same day. The atmosphere is different, far from the Hadiningrat family residence. Mallory had just returned from the farm. Apart from being successful in business, the Hermansyah family also has a fairly large farm. The car was parked in the front yard. Mallory immediately locked her car and drove away. Mallory, whose wife left him twenty years ago, has absolutely no intention of remarrying. From her marriage, Mallory did not have any children. That's why he considers Venus like his own son. "Master is back?" ask and greet the waiters who work and live there. The woman who was approximately forty-five years old was named Endang. Usually called Mrs. Endang. Mrs. Endang has worked with Mallory for almost twenty years. Before Mallory's wife died, Endang had worked there. Despite staying there. However, the location where Endang sleeps is not under the same roof as Mallory. The twenty year old widower built a special residence for Endang to leave, whic
Venus (Chapter 30)"Master, what's wrong?" Mrs. Endang came after hearing a commotion coming from Mallory's room. "Oh my God! Oh my God," said Mrs. Endang spontaneously, covering her eyes with one hand. Just not because he saw Mallory, but Eveline who was only wearing underwear. "Quickly get him out of here!" Mallory ordered in a loud tone. He immediately turned around, avoiding direct contact with the woman who was still his sister-in-law. Eveline raised an eyebrow, narrowing her vision, "Wait a minute! Why did you suddenly throw me out?" Eveline became furious, immediately stood up and wrapped the cloth that had come loose. The cloth was not opened by accident, but it was opened on purpose to attract Mallory's attention like before. "Go away from here!" Mallory snapped again, without lowering her intonation at all, "Mrs. Endang. Please help my sister-in-law find the exit. I don't think she knows the way home!" Mallory said sarcastically. Eveline stomped her foot several
VENUS (Chapter 31)Eveline had left the room a few minutes ago and followed by Mrs. Endang also leaving there. When the mind is filled with guilt, the entire room becomes empty without any color. Mallory's thoughts were suddenly broken when her cell phone rang, it said 'Venus' on the black screen of her smart object. There is doubt accompanied by fear of pressing the green button. In line with his thoughts, he was afraid that the incident with Eveline's arrival would be heard by his nephew. Until finally, the ringer turned off by itself. At least Mallory could breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this calm didn't last long because suddenly someone broke open the door to his room. "Uncle!" It seemed that Mallory had a visitor whose presence she really didn't expect now. He turned around and suddenly saw the figure of the young man whom he had always considered his own son. "Venus..." he stammered. His hands and feet were shaking, his face and back were sweating, but it f
VENUS (Chapter 32)During the following week, Arumi did not show any suspicious movements. Alias, he just stays in his room quietly, even though he occasionally goes to the mall and park to exercise. The cellphone is cool and doesn't make much sound. Several times I heard incoming calls, but they came from close friends and not from Riki, which of course made the whole house noisy. Today Arumi and Frans attended a meeting to sign cooperation contracts with several large companies. It's no joke that the capital they invested in the development of Arumi's application. So far, the application, which is predicted to cost billions of rupiah, is still at the 50% design stage. If time is not tight, the application will soon be introduced to the public around mid-August 2023. There are still more than 9 months left for the application to be made. If the funding problem has been resolved, then you can be sure that the application work will be easier. Frans occasionally noticed a beaut
VENUS (Chapter 33)At night. Before dinner time, Arumi immediately dressed up as pretty as possible, then put on the pink dress she had just bought a few days ago. This beautiful girl, who was not yet thirty years old, looked so happy when she looked at herself from behind the reflection in the mirror. Arumi turned her body several times, as a result, the dress, which had an orchid flower pattern, looked like it was blooming at the bottom. Arumi was even happier because it wasn't in vain that she bought the dress to attend her friend's engagement event which will be held tonight. The strongest reason is that Arumi dresses up like Disney princesses. "The dress is beautiful, the make-up is OK. So what are you waiting for, it's time to go," muttered Arumi enthusiastically. Arumi looked at all sides of her body from the reflection in the mirror, to make sure there were no defects because she wanted to appear perfect in front of her friends. After feeling that everything was perfec
