The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 77
Advertisement
Hendra, who now didn't have the ability to do that, was held hostage by the love that ran all over his body for the tiny girl who was his future wife.
"Why did you change your mind?"
"Is it because of that young man?" Hendra's gaze turned sharp.
"Nothing to do with him." Aruna argued.
"Oh... then?" Hendra asked the reason for Aruna's statement.
"I just wanted to end it. That's all."
"That's impossible. There's always a reason for all action except to fall in love."
"The understanding that I just recently learned from my reading." Hendra didn't accept Aruna's answer.
"So you fell in love with him?" A question pierced Aruna.
"I told you, it has nothing to do with Damar!!" Said Aruna firmly.
"Don't say that name in front of me!!" Hendra's voice rose, and his chest ached.
"Well, I'll be honest. I'm afraid of you!"
"So scared, you followed me all the time and made me like a fugitive." Aruna explained.
Hendra held his temples. Suppose this girl knew how important her security was that it would force Hendra's people to behave possessively towards her.
Unfortunately, Aruna knew nothing and wasn't allowed to know either.
"If I stop my subordinates from following and watching you. Do you still want to continue this marriage?" Hendra wanted to know more details. He made a negotiation statement.
(Negation in Math logic or known as negotiation is defined as a statement that has a truth value that is opposite to the original statement. In everyday life it is used to build upside-down logic)
Aruna was silent for a moment.
"If only the marriage could be stopped, whatever is better." Aruna replied.
"Oh! It means you have no definite reason." The man caught Aruna in his mind space.
"Tell me the reason before I get really angry!" Hendra pressed Aruna.
Once again, Lesmana's daughter was silent without a word. She just wanted to get away from Hendra, the Wenceslas's sole heir who made her life even bleaker.
"Don't say you just hate me and want to get away from me."
"That means you hate me for no reason because you like him for no reason." Hendra combined his strong reasoning thinking with new knowledge from the novels he had read.
"What do you mean? What kind of conclusion is that?" Aruna was stunned by Hendra's statement.
She was unable to conclude her feelings and conditions. But the man in front of her very lightly formulated conclusions without further ado.

"You know, what I hold I can't possibly let go." The man caught Aruna's hand and cornered her.
Aruna tried to pull her hand as hard as she could. But she failed.
"Let me go, Hendra! Your behavior like this made me sick of you!" Aruna angrily looked at him. But Hendra didn't flinch.
"Release me!" Aruna pulled her hand back but she couldn't.
This girl raised her other hand, intending to fight Hendra. But the man was more dexterous in catching it.
"Let go of me... You scared me...." Aruna's eyes began to turn red and again felt as if she had been turned into a toy doll by the Wenceslas young master.
She cried.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hendra pulled back, letting go of Aruna's hand. Lesmana's daughter immediately wiped her tears and ran to the bathroom, not wanting to be found by her father in such a mess.
"Is Dad busy?" Said Hendra, starting a small talk.
He needed to settle his fight with Aruna.
"Yes... As you can see." Lesmana answered.
"Let me take Aruna, Dad. You can return to work in peace."
"No need. You are sick, get enough rest."
"There's something I need to discuss with Aruna. If Dad allows me, I need more time with Aruna." Hendra looked serious.
"All right, tell Aruna that I go back to the office. I'm glad you guys try to get to know each other." Lesmana left without seeing her daughter.

"Where is my father?"
"Already gone." Hendra was standing, taking a pair of clothes and a navy coat from the cupboard.
Aruna realised that this man had purposely kicked her father away and intended to change clothes to take her somewhere.
"I don't want to bother you, I can go home alone." Aruna took her bag and stepped out.
Hendra threw his clothes and rushed towards Aruna, the man stopped Aruna.
"Can you give me a chance to treat you well?"
"You're sick, right? I just don't want to bother you!"
"But I can still do it, if I just take you home." Hendra forced his will.
Hearing Hendra's words, 'Always doing so' was a collection of understandings that crossed Aruna's mind.
"Come back to your bed, let's talk properly." Aruna relented.
This girl was disturbed by the visible blood from Hendra's infusion. The blue-eyed man's hands tightened because of their bickering, resulting in an artery pierced by an IV needle dripping blood.

Aruna even took a tissue and cleaned Hendra's wrist right after the man sat on the patient bed.
It turned out that such simple behaviour made the Wenceslas's sole heir afraid of losing his future wife.
This girl was still able to calm her heart when they were fighting.
"My life used to be very simple, I was chasing dreams with my friends through The Magic Letter. I felt proud of myself every now and then when asked to be a speaker at a seminar for fellow startups. Those times made me very happy. I miss it so badly." Aruna started telling her story.

"My life used to be very simple, I was chasing dreams with my friends through The Magic Letter. I felt proud of myself every now and then when asked to be a speaker at a seminar for fellow startups. Those times made me very happy. I miss it so badly." Aruna started telling her story.
"Somehow, after you came, it seemed like I met someone from another planet. You are really different. Your mindset and your life is too extraordinary, I no longer find my dreams."
"I don't know what I should achieve. Where to walk? What is supposed to be? I lost everything, except my family. Maybe this is what I should pay for my family's happiness. That's all I have now." Hendra listened to every word that came from Aruna's lips.
As she moved, the girl cleaned the blood in his hands and put a bandage on the wound.
"So I hope we can compromise properly. I'm sorry to demand more by asking you to let me go."
"I should have realised, I am a family guarantee girl." Her expression made Hendra tremble.
"You want this, don't you?" Aruna stood up, approaching Hendra who was sitting on his bed.
Surprisingly, this girl kissed the Wenceslas Group's CEO's lips.
"Think of this kiss as compensation for being insolent, asking for something extra."
The woman carrying the double-edged knife had raised her weapon and stabbed the man's chest in front of her.
Hendra realised that Aruna had gone numb.
"Let's follow the marriage contract that we agreed on. And let's end it well in two years. I will not sue for anything after this." The numb expression and the last expression of Lesmana's daughter before leaving him made Hendra's heart and head rage.
The man held his head in frustration.
The next moment, surprisingly, the Wenceslas's heir threw all the objects nearby. He tore apart the items lined up on the nightstand. The Objects fell apart and scattered on the floor.
"Aaargh... It's not me... I didn't make her despair..."
"Aaargh... Not me." Hendra looked confused, holding his head.
His bodyguard hurriedly pressed the button for help. Hendra looked terrible and kept screaming.
"Not me... Aaargh." Hendra lost his control.
Nobody knew what was going on, except for the doctor's face that was so shocked. She ran to hug her patient accompanied by tears.
.
.
This blue-eyed man finally fell asleep in his bed after a sedative was forcefully injected into his body.
The scattered objects slowly began to be tidied up by the nurses and bodyguards.
On the other hand, Doctor Diana wobbled to see Hendra's condition. She returned to the workroom assisted by her assistants.
"Does anyone know who came before?"
'Why did my little boy return to zero like before?'
"Oh my God..." Diana couldn't cover her sadness.
"Doc!.." Tio hurriedly walked, approaching Diana.
"His future wife came before the young master lost control."
"The woman left him for a moment before Mr Hendra slammed everything." Tio just interrogated Hendra's guards.
"How do we get to meet the girl?" Diana looked for Aruna's documents. In fact, there was no phone number, and the opportunity to be contacted.
"Young master' secretary knows everything. I can ask him to come." Firman immediately called Surya.
***
"Sorry doc! I don't agree!" Surya had an argument with his boss' psychiatrist.
"I will wait for Hendra to wake up and wait for his decision before acting." Once again, he confirmed.
"If he woke up in a different state, what would you do then?" Diana strengthened her argument.
"No! Even though I was paid to bring in Miss Aruna yesterday, I will not do it. I will remain faithfully waiting for the young master's orders." Surya didn't change his stance.
"Are you sure he will make the right order after his last condition? I know you, assistants, are demanded to be loyal." Diana tried to shake Hendra's secretary' commitment.
"I trust him... He will return to normal when he wakes up. Hendra is someone who is strong enough. I'm loyal not because I'm under him but because I'm his best friend!" The secretary closely stared at Diana.
