Venus (Chapter 7)

VENUS (Chapter 7)

The next day. Frans asked Venus to take him to the airport. According to the schedule, today Frans' daughter, who lives in Germany, will return to Indonesia. Therefore, Frans had been preparing since early morning.

"You can drive, right?" Fran asked

ensure.

"Of course, I can drive, sir. While working as a construction worker, I was often invited to be a car driver and learn to drive a little bit," explained Venus.

"That's good then. Today you'll just drive. We'll go to the airport to pick up my daughter who came from Germany," asked Frans without thinking anymore.

Venus gaped, "Driving, to the airport? Now? But, I don't have a driver's license, sir. That would be against the rules."

The statement that came out of Venus' mouth was true and it was not wrong for her to say that. However, it wouldn't be Frans Hadiningrat if he couldn't make the impossible possible.

"This is your driver's license." Frans handed over an object in the shape of a card like an identification card, but the color was slightly different.

Venus obviously glared when she saw the card which was thought to have her name on her driver's license, "Sir, you're not kidding, right? I must be dreaming."

In order to prove whether this was a dream or not, Venus pinched his cheek very hard. As a result he screamed in pain.

"Oh my God! It turns out this isn't a dream. Really, this isn't a dream," said Venus at a loss for words.

The driving license he had been dreaming of for so long was finally before his eyes. It's even in his grasp now.

Frans chuckled, seeing the innocence of the young man he had only known a month ago. It was unexpected that Venus was so happy with the gift she gave.

"Master, is this real?" Venus asked again, just to make sure that the driving license in her hand was genuine and not a fake.

"Just try biting it. If you can eat the card, it's chocolate," replied Frans in a joking tone.

Venus scratched her head which didn't itch. He grinned while showing a row of white teeth, "I'm embarrassed, sir. Thank you again for trusting me so much. Really, I'm running out of words to express my feelings now."

Frans patted Venus on the shoulder with pride, "It's not wrong if I trust you, Venus. You are a good child, polite and honest. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Venus hurriedly nodded her head accompanied by a quick bow, "Of course, sir. I will not disappoint you and your family. I will work hard and not be lazy."

Hearing this answer made Frans believe in Venus even more. His decision to make Venus his bodyguard was really the right way. Hopefully Venus can carry out her hopes well.

After a light conversation, Frans immediately took Venus to the car that the driver had prepared in the front yard.

"Sir," greeted the man in a black suit respectfully with sunglasses and earphones in his ears.

Frans descended the stairs in front of the entrance to his mansion. He chatted a little with the Bodyguard who had worked for him for the last five years.

"Today you will just guard behind me. Let Venus drive for me," said Frans with authority.

The bodyguard nodded, "Ready, sir!!" he said respectfully and immediately closed the door after Frans got into the car.

Then, he himself rushed into the car parked right behind Frans' car. Soon, Venus sat in the driver's seat.

There was anxiety and worry mixed together in the depths of his heart. This was also his first time driving a luxury car, unlike previously only holding the steering wheel of a pick-up truck.

"Oh my God," said Venus to himself.

Before leaving, he recited a prayer first. The reason is clear: to be protected from danger and hopefully be saved at your destination.

After the prayer was said, Venus immediately started the car engine. Not long after, the car moved, left the mansion and went to Soekarno-Hatta airport.

***

There was a mistake because Venus didn't know the way to the airport. However, Frans patiently told Venus which direction Venus should take.

The distance that was supposed to take an hour and a half, ended up stalling a little to two hours. However, Frans was not angry at all. On the contrary, he kept smiling because he felt funny at the young man who had just become his driver today.

The group arrived at the front yard of the airport entrance. There were three cars escorting behind. Not all of them came in, only one bodyguard followed behind Frans and Venus. His job is just to be on the safe side.

They immediately rushed to the passenger arrival gate. According to the schedule that had been set, it should only be a few minutes before the plane coming from Germany would land.

Frans couldn't wait to meet his only daughter. After almost ten years his daughter settled in Germany to continue her studies there.

Frans brought a large bouquet of white roses to welcome his beloved.

Venus felt curious now. What Frans Hadiningrat's daughter was like, he himself couldn't guess, because Frans never told him about his daughter.

If you look at Frans Hadiningrat's calm and modest demeanor, it is possible that his daughter's character is not much different from her father.

As people often say. 'Fruit does not fall far from the tree.'

"Hopefully she's not like that Witch," thought Venus, when she remembered the figure of the woman who was the stepmother in her life. Yes, who else if not Eveline.

After waiting for almost fifteen minutes, finally what he had been waiting for began to show itself.

"Arumi, darling!" Frans called out in a fairly high voice, waving his right hand, giving a code to the princess who was visible to his eyes.

A beautiful woman clad in a black blazer with her hair flowing over her shoulders waved at Frans Hadiningrat.

The beautiful woman immediately ran from the passenger arrival door there.

"I really miss Daddy." Arumi immediately anchored her body in a tight hug to the fifty year old man.

"Daddy really misses you too, darling. How are you? Did your trip go well?" Frans asked while stretching his arms around Arumi.

"Yes, Daddy. The trip was smooth, if it wasn't smooth, Arumi wouldn't be able to hug Daddy here," said the beautiful girl, named Arumi Widia Sari Hadiningrat.

"You can do it. Daddy will cry blood if you don't arrive in Indonesia safely," replied Frans, while pulling Arumi's nose in exasperation.

Frans also didn't forget to hand over the bouquet of flowers he had specially bought.

"Daddy, it's really romantic. I feel like that." Arumi sniffed the aroma of white roses that had been arranged in such a way.

"How do you feel, darling? You will always be the most special woman that Daddy has," said Frans honestly, while stroking Arumi's cheek and ending with a kiss on her forehead.

"Daddy, who is he?" asked Arumi who directed her gaze at Venus.
