The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 130
Advertisement
An arrival that was so crowded. This husband and wife hadn't got out of their car yet, but they'd been ambushed by reporters who'd been waiting, blocking their car.
The issue of a phenomenal marriage between a sophomore student who was reportedly an ordinary girl with the sole heir of the Wenceslas group, the most wanted male in recent months.
His handsome face and charming background had become the most popular search engine on social media, especially Mahendra Wenceslas's official account.
Especially after he was involved in a scandal with a group of artists when they were making a bet. The scene in the short video that was taken by Kia had been parodied by YouTubers several times. And this was what caused it to become increasingly booming.
Another reason this couple was sought after was that the two of them promised to provide clarification. In fact, there was no immediate continuation. Even though their wedding photo was on the mayor's social media account, who allegedly attended to witness the marriage.
"Surya, what's the matter? Why is it this crowded?".
"Wait a minute! Let me find out".
The secretary began to make some calls to several parties, especially Riswan and his team.
Riswan said that he accidentally uploaded an Instagram story containing a development project that would be discussed with Mahendra Wenceslas.
And he didn't realize that it could bring in many journalists. Even though the meeting that they were going to hold would be held in a public meeting room which was intentionally booked because the place wasn't far from the construction site.
Riswan promised that his bodyguard would help as much as possible. He was ready to ask several security units for help. Hearing this, Hendra refused. The CEO only needed to contact Raka's team, including several people from the D floor.
"Hendra, what's wrong??". The girl beside him was fidgeting. How could she not? The CEO of the Wenceslas Group put on a black bluetooth hearing device, the separation type that left an impression on Aruna's mind. A sign that he was being followed, a sign of an accident, a sign that Hendra was being watched by many bodyguards. That means the danger was greeting. Aruna's brain conclusion described it as simple as that.
"Aruna, don't come out without instructions from me". Hendra stared at her while stroking his beloved wife's hair. That man slowly got out of the car with a broad smile waving to several reporters.

In the next moment, Surya trailed behind. The two men knocked on the car in front of them, the car of the bodyguards. A woman got out of the car of the bodyguards. Hendra was seen chatting with her, then the woman moved backwards towards Aruna's car and sat next to Aruna.
"Ms., Hendra said you want to use make-up. Let me help". Aruna wasn't that interested in using make-up anymore. She was more curious about what these people would face. Was being in a public place or in a crowd so dangerous for Hendra?
Lesmana's daughter still remembered it clearly. Back in the day when they visited the mall, there were a lot of his bodyguards who sneaked into protecting him secretly.
"Leona, what is actually happening? Why does Hendra have to use the separation type on his ears? Why can't I go with him?". Aruna was still curious.
"You and Hendra must always be safe, that's why we're here. And that's why you haven't been allowed to come out yet". Leona tried to explain in broad terms.
"Are crowds a huge problem?". Aruna wanted to know what the reason was.
"It's not just a crowd, but more about the presence?".
"What do you mean??". The girl from an ordinary world hadn't understood what Leona was saying yet.
"Ugh. Where should I start explain?? So, just like the journalists around us right now, if only they hadn't known where Hendra was, they wouldn't have been here".
"Apart from the journalists, there are other things out there to watch out for as well. And we're here to keep everything going well. Including the safety of yourself and most importantly Hendra because he's our leader". Leona tried to explain it as simple as possible.
"You really don't want to use make-up?". Leona asked once again.
This girl only shook her head. She didn't want anything.
"No need to". Aruna was more concerned looking at the back of the man on the other end who was walking slowly among his bodyguards, trying to get rid of the crowd of reporters.
"You should be thinking how to look attractive since your husband is so attractive. Even though you don't really want it, you should know how to compromise with the situation". Leona seemed to deliberately offend Aruna.
This woman seemed resigned to Leona's words. She began to put out a collection of very simple make-up tools. Lip tint, moisturizer, and powder.

Leona, the woman who Aruna knew had been seen following Hendra several times when he went to work. Reportedly, she was expected to be a female secretary who would accompany the activities of the Wenceslas Group's CEO.
Since Surya was starting to get overwhelmed, the blue-eyed's best friend also had another schedule, which was taking over Hendra's work when his schedules overlapped.
To be honest, Hendra was getting busier because he'd receive a new mandate as president director. And Surya was slowly taking part as the second person to represent Mahendra in several business assignments.
Aruna didn't know about this at all. All she knew was Mahendra was very busy and often came home late. She left him cooped up in the room alone.
"Is this all you have?".
Hendra's wife nodded.
Leona swiftly got out of the car and came back with extraordinary make-up kits. It was extraordinary because the products were quite famous for being expensive and there were so many varieties. A pouch full of it.
"How come you don't have complete make-up? If you ask for something, everyone will definitely prepare it for you?". She was offensive again but it was more subtle.
"Hehe. Looks like make-up is my weakness and I'm not that interested. That's why I forgot to prepare these things properly." Arunda defended her humble existence.
"There should be a little bit of effort, even though your current existence isn't where you want it to be. But look, Ms., a lot of people want your place. Otherwise, these people wouldn't chase you so excitedly".
Lesmana's daughter just fell silent.
"Yeah, I'll try.." This girl replied briefly while staring outside the Bentley Continental.
"You have to focus, not just trying. Focus on staying here or choosing to return to where you came from, so that other people will easily find the right course of action."
Aruna just smiled. She knew the expression of a woman who reportedly was Hendra's childhood friend was pretty on point and often offended her.
Her hands began to polish Aruna's face. Unfortunately, her face was flat. She rarely smiled.
This girl was looking for her solace. She was a little depressed by the atmosphere that she encountered. Somehow the woman who was polishing herself quite bothered her.
She was browsing on social media that she rarely opened. When browsing several incoming messages, she found a surprising message : "Miss you too, Aruna".
_Damar, he replied?! How is he? Is he okay?_
*Damar, where are you?
*How are you?
*Are you okay?
*I'm very worried.
*I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything at the last meeting.
*Why didn't you reply?
.
.
"Next time, please be more careful. We don't want something like this to happen again. You should know that not everything needs to be shared on social media. Even though you're a politician who needs followers to maintain your existence". Not many had seen Surya angry yet, but today his words were so bold as to strike the mayor.
Surya even expressed his disappointment because he had to hide the wife of the CEO of the Wenceslas Group who accompanied her husband today, so that the reporters out there wouldn't know that the couple they were chasing was present at the same time. Because of that, Aruna was still stuck in the car.
Surya's expressions annoyed the people around him, especially those from the mayor's team.
"How can these people feel more powerful than Mr. Riswan?". The whisper began to be heard between the ears.
"Reportedly, they were Mr. Riswan's superior when he was an architect".
"But they should know who Mr. Riswan is now?!".
"Wait! Is that Mahendra??". A woman who was also present at the civil servant-style meeting which was so complicated with the protocol threw her remarks softly.
In this meeting room, there were too many people who weren't really needed. But whatever, maybe this was the rule that Riswan must've followed. Hendra had guessed, that was why he was lazy to accept Riswan's request.
"Wow, no wonder those actresses are willing to risk their reputation for this man". The remarks were getting hotter, making Hendra a little hot.
"Shall we start? What should I do now? Wenceslas Construction needs to present the progress of the project or do we have a two-way discussion?!". Hendra didn't want to linger.
One of Riswan's team approached, whispered something to Mahendra.

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
