4. It’s so sweet

Not long after that, a group of house assistants served snacks on the table and those tensed faces melted. A fresh and fruity snack was too good to ignore and the yellow bright color pudding with some pieces of fruit cuts was tempting and inviting.

Surya, who was sitting next to Dea, smiled meaningfully at Mahendra. Such communication could only be understood by both the gentlemen, Mahendra and Surya. Surya had to admit how bright and intelligent Mr. Wiryo's grandson who started his communication by giving a comfortable feeling to his guests, the team of Magic Letter.

"Please serve yourselves. We are waiting for the others to join us any sooner," Hendra allowed his guests to enjoy the refreshment in front of them.

On the other side, Aruna took a spoon. She didn't want to miss enjoying a such tempting refreshment, like her friends. That pregnant woman even looked more enthusiastic in eating her pudding.

Mahendra's hand crossed the chair to caress her tummy.

"I wanted to discuss something with all of you in a more comfortable place," Mahendra knew well that his opposite partners are those of millennial generations, they would prefer something less formal.

"Unfortunately, such a place would be a bit of a problem to present ideas in the slide show. Is that okay my friends?" The team of Magic Letter shook their head, a sign to proceed for Mahendra. They had no choice but to shake their heads although they still had no idea what the topic was and where the topic would go.

"I want it once more, please," Aruna still focused on her food. Hendra turned his head back and it was answered by serving more snacks for Miss Aruna by one of the assistants. Then, they disappeared behind the door.

Some moment later. Timi and three other participants who hearsay had helped Magic Letter to develop took a seat next to the other members of that start-up company. Their coming was also welcomed with that inviting refreshment. And Aruna was enjoying her second portion.

Timi and three others looked more serious. They enjoyed their shares as well as opening their notebooks. They also discussed things once in a while.

"I am sorry, am I very late?"

"Brother?" Aruna could not believe her eyes, the man who just arrived by the door was Anantha. That girl stood up and ran to her big brother and hugged him.

Anantha brushed the back of his youngest sister affectionately, "I am late already. I will hug you longer when the meeting is over," said Anantha as he pulled her away, observing her face.

"I apologize too for coming late, the traffic is awful," it was not only Anantha who showed up before her eyes but also Aditya, the husband of her sister, Aliana, was walking behind Anantha. The man with eyeglasses patted Anantha's back, "Alright Miss, we have to work now," that naughty sarcasm made Aruna let go of her hug. She smiled in amusement when her brothers called her Miss.

.

Mahendra gave a short speech about the definition and the goals at the opening of that meeting. Aruna could grab a little of his speech, "I want Magic Letter not focus only on selling the service and accessories but on the brand, instead," almost everyone nodded in agreement unless Aruna, Lily, Tito, and Laras.

Meanwhile, Dea was a bit upset with her husband. She was feeling uncomfortable because anything she did was always corrected by her husband, such as putting her spoon or her pen on the table, it would always be straightened by him. She was treated like a child who always needed her big brother, in this case, Surya, her husband. She chose to keep her miserable feeling alone.

"To be honest, I don't understand," Lily, the straightforward girl, could not hold her mind but to say it openly.

"We are selling things and services. What is selling brand?" Timi glanced at Lily and he could not hold himself to smile mockingly at her.

And that mocking smile was paid with a scowl from Lily.

"As far as I am concerned, Lily is a student majoring in economics, aren't you?" Mahendra wanted to say indirectly that Lily should have known what he was talking about.

"I prefer implementation to theoretical comprehension," Lily simply spoke out what was bothering her right away.

"I don't understand either," Aruna gave Lily a backup.

"Aaa…of course," Mahendra just realized that he was not having a meeting with his people.

"Right after the meeting, I will explain to you things you don't understand." Aditya interfered. He just learned to be Mahendra's secretary. His previous position was a leader in the marketing division, a team that was responsible for designing marketing strategies for every subsidiary of Djoyo Makmur Group.

Lily got relieved after Aditya gave her a promise. Aditya, Aruna's brother-in-law, was a very competent person to do that. And Lily liked him.

While Lily had to wait until the meeting was over before Aditya could explain to her, Mahendra whispered to his wife to do so, "You are very capable of influencing your customers psychologically, I as your consumer believe that every single action you are taking is very professional to make me kneel. And you can create a magical impact that is very different from other women. You are irreplaceable," Such an analogy didn't make it easy for Aruna to comprehend. She got attacked with dizziness.

"Argh, I don't know. My head is hurt," her husband chuckled and the sound echoed all over the room.

"Alright, we'd better start now," He said as he stopped laughing.

Anantha stood up. He tidied his neat outfits before reaching a pointer. He opened his presentation by saying sorry, "I am sorry for what I have done to all of you in the past by pushing things on you. Now, let me offer you a different plan. You can disbelieve me but my brother-in-law is the one to be responsible for my offer to you this time."

"Take a look at my presentation, don't look at our bad past time," And slides of presentation scrolled down, showing an offer of digital products with a logo of a blue whale jumping out of the water and the splash of water around it. It was beyond the expectation of an offer.

Magic Letter is described as an online shop for accessories and celebratory items, offering a collection of bridal showers, baby showers, wedding invitations, gift packages, and expressive products for males and females. Headquartered in the capital, Magic Letter is also planned to penetrate ASEAN.

"I haven't even dared to dream this far," Aruna talked in her breath. Lily choked with her saliva after being stunned.

"it is a little gift for my wife who has let go of her dream of having a baby from me," A wave of that statement penetrated her eardrums.

"Hen, is this what you ever called taking a chopper to reach the top level?" Mahendra even forgot that he ever debated with Aruna about an analogy between taking a chopper vs climbing up the mountain with her efforts.

Aruna kept that phrase very well in her mind about 'why not trying to set up a bigger dream.'

'If your initial goal is only to climb up a mountain, why don't you try a new adventure to go further, such as going around the world with a chopper or reaching a top which can't be done with a chopper.'

'There are always ways to find your you dreams, the problem is you want to reach it or not,' (Season I, The Oasis)

Hendra provided a chopper for her, to reach her new dreams, "Thank you so much. The gift is simply too great," She cried.

"But why crying…" the blue-eyed man was shocked.

"Aah... I'm just touched so much, leave it,"

"Did I do anything wrong?"

"No, you didn't…"

"Then, why crying? Don't make me worried over nothing,"

Aruna reached her husband o come closer, "You….are…so…sweet,"

"I do like sweet," and this time Aruna's laughter echoed the room. She slapped her husband's shoulder gently.

"That cute girl went to the lake?"

"Yes…" Darko replied, his eyes were wandering.

"Then, what did you do when she reached the lake?" Leona was hunting information.

"I am waiting," Darko replied unattentively while chopping his favorite chocolate cake.

"Just waiting?" Darko shook his head.

"Then, what?

"She had to be alone,"

"After she was alone?"

"After that tall man with his flashing eyes left her, I made her follow me," Darko said blankly.

"How did you do that?"

"Emm…I can't tell anyone about our secret," Again Darko was dumbfounded in recognizing Nana and Lona.

"Darko, tell me everything you did when you played the hunting game, please!" Darko frowned.

"You said, whoever asks this, even you, we must not share. The strategy of the hunter game is just…err…" he bit a big chop off the cake, "It is told only once, the rest is to concentrate, not to fail or I will be the sacrifice," Darko licked the crumbs on his hand.
