The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 51
Advertisement
A bride and groom came out of the old man's room with a different aura.
Hendra felt so relieved to have made a decision.
Meanwhile, the woman looked threateningly.
"Let go of my hand!!" Aruna off Hendra's hand.
The girl let out a long breath many times. She seemed to be relieving her shortness of breath.
She was angry because the blue-eyed man cut off her explanation.
"Hey .. I should be angry. Look! You hurt my fingers!" Hendra showed her that the corners of his fingers were red because of Aruna's nails.
"If you dare to be angry with me, I will ...."
Aruna was intimidating, pointing her index finger at Hendra's chest, exploding with frustration.
It was strange!
Her words suddenly stopped as fast as lightning, hiding her brave fingers behind her back.
"Ehh .."
'What's wrong with her?' Hendra caught Aruna's sweet smile.
This unique girl's expression changed 180 degrees.
In the hallway, an old woman walked gracefully behind Hendra's back, followed by a young woman in uniform.
'This girl?! Very good at changing expressions. She was even smarter than Tania (Tania worked as a drama series artist)' Hendra muttered.
"I heard the news that Aruna came. I'm glad to meet you." The woman named Sukma smiled and held Aruna's hands, reciprocating.
"How are you? Grandma, I'm also very happy to see you." Aruna greeted her friendly.
"Uuh.. How sweet you are.. I'm good, even though I am old, I am not less healthy than the young one."
"Somehow, you greet me like this. Look at my grandson, he doesn't even know how to greet her grandma."
Sukma smiled gratefully at Aruna and wryly at Hendra.
"Haaah." Hendra sighed, feeling hot with the sarcasm.
"I hope that you will soon become part of this family. So that I will come back young, come now, come with me. We eat first."
Sukma pulled Aruna down, led her through Wenceslas's house.
Aruna spontaneously turned to Hendra.
The man looked resigned.

"Lesmana, wait a minute!" Wiryo stopped him, who started to get up and intended to leave the room.
"I don't understand you. You and your daughter can be free from us this time. Why did you give your daughter back?" Wiryo straightened his cane to his feet.

Lesmana, who was Wiryo's former secretary turned around, saluting.
He then softly lowered his head.
"Because your grandson needs her." Lesmana seemed to understand something the Wenceslas family was hiding.
"To what extent do you understand Hendra's condition?! Who told you??" Wiryo was surprised.
"It doesn't matter sir. The most important thing is that I have fulfilled my promise. I allow my daughter to be part of this family on one condition." Lesmana made a request.
"Mention!"
"Later when Aruna is unable to face this marriage. I ask you to let her go at any time." Said Lesmana.
"Okay I accept." Wiryo started the next deal.
"Please stop behaving like my secretary, we will become in-laws." Wiryo requested.
"Isn't this our agreement? I'm your secretary until I give you my daughter. When my daughter has become the daughter-in-law of this family, I will break ties with you and I will behave as a real father." Lesmana was holding back a deep crush at every word she said.
"I thank you a million. You are still my loyal secretary until the end."
'Even your daughter has the same character as you'
The old man sat back, looking at Lesmana's back.
***
"Aruna." Lesmana called out to her daughter, smiling concerning her former boss's family.
"Dad ...." Aruna's voice answered her father's call so cheerfully.
She was depressed by the polite manner of eating of the Wenceslas family members. Grandma Sukma, Ms Gayatri and Hendra.
"I have to go back to the office. I left the meeting to come here. Aruna, let's say goodbye now." Said Lesmana as he was ready to leave.
Aruna quickly got ready, she wanted to quickly disappear from this place.
"Let me take Aruna father, eh I mean uncle Lesmana." Hendra put the food down.
He then stood up, saluted, and asked permission from Aruna's father.
"Okay.. I apologize. I have to go first." Said Leasmana, leaving.
Aruna's face suddenly lethargic, seeing her father's back disappear.
"Is my grandson giving you trouble?"
Dessert got the family started to talk.
'Of course!!'
"Hehe a little." Aruna's words and heart were contradictory.
"I don't know what kind of life they live out there until the men in this family have a less gentle way of speaking." Said Sukma as if giving an explanation.

In Aruna's ear, Grandma's explanation was almost the same as the resin assignment (always scattered on the 2nd floor of the Magic Letter outlet) that she had read, Euphemism.
(Euphemism: A style of language that replaces words that are considered unfavourable with their more subtle equivalents)
Every word that was spoken was so subtle and danced in Aruna's mind, a little dizzy.
Hendra could hardly help laughing as the little girl scratched the corner of her neck, showing a confused and bored face.
"Aruna, do you want to see the room that I prepared?"
Aruna didn't have a clue to what direction Grandma Sukma dominated the conversation.
But, her last words left Aruna dumbfounded.
"What??" Aruna blinked her eyes.
'Room?? My room and the sharp mouth man?'
'Oh my God... help me... I could catch a sudden shortness of breath' Aruna was panicked, imagining marriage was so terrible.
How about the room? Ah mentally not strong enough to imagine she had to share the same room with Wenceslas's grandson.
The girl kicked Hendra's leg who was sitting beside her.
"Sorry, grandma." The man's voice was a little different.
As he was shocked, he accepted Aruna's request.
"I have to take Aruna as soon as possible. There is a schedule that I can't miss." Hendra tried to find a way to be free from Sukma's request.
"Schedule! Schedule! My ears are tired of hearing it. Now I only ask you for only 10 minutes!"
Sukma didn't care. She pulled Aruna's hand to come with her.
"We can't grandma... We have to go now." Hendra did not want to be outdone, the grandson took part in fighting over Aruna.
Hendra grabbed Aruna's left hand, and Grandma grabbed her right side.
Aruna tried to politely remove her hand from Grandma's grip.
"Huh.. you guys..." Sukma complained.
"Susi! Make Aruna on my side."
The grandmother called out to a maid who was well-built and athletic, in contrast to the graceful and polite face dressing.
She even apologized before approaching Hendra.
"Grandma, please!" Hendra tried to hold Aruna.
Aruna had pushed the man's body.
"I also want to behave selfish like you." Sukma smirked, walking first.
A woman named Susi tried to grab Aruna.
Things got messed up. Aruna just realized why Hendra needed to hold her.
What was meant by 'siding with grandma' was that Sukma was trying to take Aruna from Hendra.
"Young master, if you continue like this, sorry, I have to lock you up." A moment later, with a flash of movement.
"Argh..." One of Hendra's hands was locked on his back.
But, that man didn't want to lose.
He was still holding onto Aruna's wrist with the rest of his hand.
"Grandma." Said Gayatri.
A woman who looked very calm and beautiful, starting to rise.
The woman with a blank gaze stopped the grandmother's steps, who almost disappeared.
"As far as I know the room that Grandma prepares is still in the process of renovating. It will be more impressive if you show it, when the room is completely ready." Her speech was soft and almost inaudible.
Gayatri, Hendra's mother, tried to persuade Sukma.
"Got a new room after getting married, it must leave an extraordinary impression than seeing it now." Gayatri's words made the old lady change her mind.
She asked her maid to release Hendra.
"Sorry, Aruna, you have to see this. Sometimes we have to do this so that someone cares about this old lady."
Aruna just smiled.
'Forced to touch each other so that someone cares about this old grandmother' oh that means, forcing each other roughly so that they will care about her'
Aruna began to be good at interpreting grandma Sukma's euphemism.
"Come on Aruna, let's go!" Hendra walked without looking.
"Look, he doesn't even want to say goodbye to his grandma. It hurts my heart."
'Ah this family is a little unique'
Aruna caught Hendra's lazy face, turned around, and lowered his head.
"I go first." And he literally walked away.
Thank you for the banquet.. Mrs. Gayatri, thank you for your help.."
Aruna greeted them one by one, then jogged following Hendra's steps.
