The next day, Haven looked at his body, someone still there and he felt grateful for it.
"Thank you, for everything" he secretly kissed her forehead.
"You wake up?" she asked and rubbed her eyes.
"You good?" he asked while slightly rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, just a bit sore at the back" she said and Haven rubbed her back.
"Better?"
"Yeah, thank you" she hugged him.
"Again, I'm sorry" he said while looking into her eyes.
"You need to stop saying this, I'm getting bored with the same words. In the end, I don't know why you apologize for" she said.
"I'm sorry on the first date, I felt ashamed when we were at the carousel and the hotel, when I explained why I called you a wife and didn't explain about the misunderstanding between me and Melinda and also misunderstand you and Vinod" he explained.
"That's what I want to hear" she smiled and the wind blowed the curtain.
"The sunrise is beautiful isn't it?" he asked.
"It is" she slightly kissed him before they deeply continued it.

"When will you be discharged?" he asked.
"Umm, maybe today…" she said and saw him put on his jacket.
"Then, I'll pick you up" bopping his nose with her.
"Really?" Aviana clenched her hands.
"This time…I'll see you no matter what" he said, holding her hands while on his knees.
"I trust you then…" she sighed.
"Don't worry, I already learned it" he said and made her giggle.
"You study?" she laughed hard.
"To get my little queen? Of course I did!" he said proudly then kissed her.
Before he gets going "wait!" she stopped him.
Haven stopped and Aviana immediately kissed him on the cheek. He was stunned.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"Just give it a try…" she looked away.
"Give it a try huh? How about here?" he pointed to his lips.
"No you pervert! Just go already!" she pushed him.
"Okay okay, why have I always been kicked out by you?" Haven giggled and waved, then walked out.
…
Haven was going to work happily but it's not an end as he saw someone that he usually knew back then.
"Hey~" a woman was approaching him, his ex-friend, Kirina Furry.
(How did you get so many girls back then, Mr. Haven Victor?? And why can't I get a single person to fall in love with me?!) 🙄😤 Continue…
"Ouh, Miss Kirina, it's been a long time, glad to see you here…" Haven put on his smile (it must be a insincerity smile)
"Oh my god!! Don't believe that you are already this tall Haven!" she hit his chest.
"Yeah, Miss Kirana, you also grew well," he said.
"Oh come on Haven! Just be casual, aren't we friends?"
"Yeah, but we're not in highschool" Haven said as he walked away.
"I'll make you mine, Haven, I've waited for too long just to make you mine" her heart whispered.
Haven continued with his daily routine and kept waiting for the time he could pick up Aviana, if anything happened this time, he'll not take any quick decisions.
Haven was stepping his foot all along the meeting, didn't know that this would be the longest hour for him.
"So, Mr. Haven, did you have any suggestions or objections?" one of the shareholders asked.
"Huh? Ah! I…got no objection, we can just continue with that plan" he said and everyone took note.
Haven again looked at his watch, for the 20th time maybe…he kept looking and looking until other employees were being ignored by him.
"Mr. Haven?" an employee called him but he was zoning out.
"Mr. Haven!"
"Huh? Yes, what is it?" he then realized there's 2 employees in front of him.
"We're waiting here for 30 minutes to get attention," Jason said.
"What's been in your mind, Mr. Haven?" Julia asked.
"I—I'm thinking about someone…why are both of you here again?" he asked and changed the topic.
"We're here to return the management files and get your permission for the next marketing project, we got taxes to deal with too" Julia explained.
"Okay, what's the condition now?" he asked.
"Umm, that thing, we actually don't really know about that as Aviana was the last one who holds the file" she said.
"Okay…then, how about the taxes?" he asked again.
"That one…was also managed by Aviana…" Jason said slowly.
"How is she the one who did it?!" Haven started to get mad.
"Cause most of the management departure employees give us the paperwork to handle and we…handle it to Aviana" both of them confessed.
Haven sighed and sat back.
"Just settle what you can, I'll think about other problems" he said.
…
It's 4:30p.m and Haven was in the traffic while Aviana was waiting for him in the lobby. Suddenly, a male was talking to her.
"Umm, miss! Your handkerchief!" he said and handed back Aviana's handkerchief.
"Ouh thank you, it's my mom's," she said.
"She must have a good taste~" he said.
"She used to have but now only memories," she said.
"Ouh I'm sorry…" he said.
"It's okay, I'm not taking it too much, it's a long time ago" she giggled.
"Well hello~" Haven greeted.
"Hello? Who are you?" the man said.
"Ouh! Haven, you're here, let's go!" she said.
"Yeah, and who's him?" he asked in calm.
"He handed me my handkerchief, it fell just now," she said, showing her handkerchief.
"Ouh, then can we go?" he asked, grabbing Aviana's bag and her waist.
"S-sure~" she almost laughed.
"Then I should get going too, see you!" the man said, waving at Aviana.
"Yeah! Bye!" Aviana waved back while walking away with Haven.
"Bye? Not see you again?" Haven teased.
"You want me to see him again?" she asked.
"Of course not, just curious~" he patted her head.
"You're not leaving me with excuses this time huh?" she turned the table.
"It's in the past okay! I'm not repeating the same mistakes…not trying to do it again!" he said.
"So you're ‘trying’ to do it in the past?!" she voices him a bit higher.
"N-no! That's not what I meant!" he becomes panicked and makes her giggle.
"I'm just kidding!" she said while getting into his car, sitting at the same seat with the same person driving.
"You always teased me…" he said.
"I know you like it, Mr. Haven…" she made him stunned for a while.
"Aviana, what you used to call me?" he asked.
"Haven or Mr. Haven…why?" she asked.
"You always called me by my name, why don't you try something that is more special?" he suggested.
"Like what?"
"Darling? Honey? Babe? My love?"
"Don't you think it's a bit cringey? I mean, I'm not used to it though" she said awkwardly.
"Okay but I need to hear that one day, I also want to feel special" he said.
"Maybe one day~" Aviana chuckled.
…
Haven brought her to his mansion.
"Why did you bring me here?" she asked.
"You don't want to live with me?" he pouted.
"E-ek! I-it's not that I don't want but why now? I mean it's so sudden…" she's a bit awkward.
"So I can always see my future wife and…" Haven stopped and kissed her forehead.
"Make my kingdom have its own queen," he said and made her blush.
"I'll live with you but in a different room!" she said and heard him giggling.

That night, Haven was at the living room, doing his paperwork and Aviana sneaked in at the door.
"What's with the sneaking Aviana?~" he said without turning around.
"How did you know?!" she was surprised.
"I'm well trained by the FBI if you asked my mom" he said.
"Yeah, I kinda know that but your guessing was too accurate" Aviana takes a seat beside him.
"It's not first time"
"Then, you should know that now it's time to sleep, what work has my king still got here?" she looked at those paperworks.
"What did you call me just now?" he stopped and looked at Aviana.
"N-nothing…" Aviana was about to run away before Haven caught her by waist, making her sit on his lap.
"Don't lie Aviana, you call me ‘my king’ just now" he looked right into her eyes, flirty.
"A-am I call you that? I think you misheard it~" she said awkwardly.
"You'll know the sequence if you're lying Aviana~" Haven threatened her.
"Really? What's the sequence?~ Tied me to the bed?~" Aviana dared him.
Both of them stopped and Haven tickled Aviana everywhere until she could even feel her cheek anymore.
"Haven!!! Stop!!! HAHAHAHA!!" Aviana wriggled and rolled on his laps until she fell down.
"M-my b-back…" she whined.
"I-I'm sorry! Are you okay?!" Haven grabbed her in panic.
"Yeah, just a bit sore" she sighed after a burst of laughter.
"Luckily…I'm afraid of hurting you again," he said.
"You'll not" she kissed his cheek then focusing back on what she wanted to ask.
"What's with the paperwork?" she asked.
"It's the project database and analytic but none of the departures give the correct information nor report. It makes me reopen the old file just to get the information" he sighed heavily.
"This is the data from 4 months ago?" she asked and Haven nodded.
"I got the full report for it in my drive! I made a copy too!" she said.
"Really? Can you enter your account now? Using my laptop" he asked.
"Sure! Let me…" she opened her account then looked at those files before handing it to Haven.
…
"Luckily you're here with me or I'll miss another sleep" he said, leaning on the sofa.
"How much sleep have you missed?" she asked, leaning in his arm.
"Many times…I don't even remember when was the last time I got a proper sleep," he said.
"How do you want to go take care of me if you can't take care of yourself first?" she asked.
"I know…that's why, please help me with it, can you? Mad when I didn't eat, scold me when I didn't sleep, beat me when I did something wrong" he said.
"I'm not your mom Haven" she said.
"But you're the 2nd woman that I'll love and take care of for the rest of my life, my wife," he said, kissing her hands.
"Sometimes I wonder where all those sweets come from, if it's a second-hand word that you have given to another woman before" she said and it makes him surprised.
"How did you know?" he teased her.
"So it's true?" her voice is still calm.
"Kinda~" he said and giggled.
"Oh…" she gives a short reply.
"You want to know who's that?" he asked and she shook.
"Nope! I don't want to know anything, let it be the past, right now, you're only mine~" she said.
"Okay~ but if you want to know, you can always ask, anything you wanted to know, I'll say it," he said and they slept right after finishing the work.
