The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 155

"It's okay. Luckily, Dea could be contacted". This woman smiled. She smiled at Aruna too. She approached that girl and made acquaintances. She jolted because of Lili's shocking shout: "TIMI! I forgot that I made an appointment with him in the parking lot of this hospital". Carelessly, that monolid glasses girl bumped into Andin, making her almost fall. Fortunately, Aruna immediately pulled and balanced her.
Lili just got to the door, but she fell against the open door. A tall man was standing there.
"Are you okay?". That young man was very neat with a shirt tucked into his trousers and matching sneakers. The impression of masculine, calm, and wise blended into one.
"Hehe". Lili who was clearly in pain only laughed.
"Eat that!". Agus said while licking the chocolate on the tip of his forefinger.
"Gus! Go away from that cake! That cake would be gone in a moment. Move!". Dea lifted the cake and started fighting. Really noisy.
"Aruna, it's Timi". Lili introduced their new team. She was shy.
"Oh.. You turned out to be more handsome than the CV photo, huh?! I understand now why someone is more excited about lingering at the outlet".
"I think Lili likes Timi". Laras whispered to Aruna.
"Please. Why don't you just SCREAM?". Lili was annoyed. Laras' voice was clearly heard in her ears.
"Why did you snap, Lili?". Laras couldn't accept it.
"Up to me. It's my mouth. You purposely embarrassed me in front of Aruna". Lili said.
"Didn't everyone already know that you confessed to Timi? Only Aruna hasn't". Laras defended herself. They argued.
"Don't be that straightforward….". Lili was annoyed. Andin and Timi scratched their necks which didn't actually itch. They were really noisy. Over there, Agus and Dea hadn't even finished fighting for the cake (or their own version of securing the cake).
The cake fell on the floor.
"Argh….". Dea shouted furiously for the first time.
"Agus, you made me angry". This girl threw the cake at Agus because she was so angry. Agus couldn't accept it and threw it back.
"Hahaha". Aruna giggled seeing them. The girl named Lili who was furious at Laras joined in making a mess. She threw the cake at Laras but it hit Aruna.
"Oops! Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose, Aruna". Lili regretted.
"Aw.. Hahaha". She laughed out loud. She took the cake on her top then threw it at Timi.

"You're the wrong one, the newcomer who made my friends fight".
"Why am I, Miss?". The new kid called Aruna with a wrong nickname.
"Hmm, Aruna.. You can't bully me". He picked up the rest of the cake that had fallen, returned it to Aruna, trying to erase the memory of the misspell.
The giggles and the scattered cake were inevitable while the beautiful Andin stepped aside, afraid of being hit.
"Andin is still beautiful. That's not fair".
"Yes".
"Come here".
"Hahaha".
Someone outside was just watching their behavior, from a rectangular glass. He was actually only focused on one person. His wife was laughing happily while sitting on the bed. It seemed that Aruna was enjoying her happiness with her friends. The blue-eyed didn't want to bother by standing for a long time in front of the door.
Until a woman opened the door wanting to get out. Surprisingly, a woman ran and hid behind his back.
The cake for that woman hit the blue-eyed. Everyone gaped awkwardly. That woman also gaped.
Behind, there was a woman who couldn't wait to climb down the patient's bed.
"Hendraa…". This girl rushed over, ignoring the drip in the hand that Timi was forced to push. She hugged Hendra. The startled man received a hug that was completely unexpected.
_What happened? Last night I choked her and her expression towards me was really bad_. Hendra was really confused.
"My clothes are dirty.. Now you're dirty too". Hendra couldn't keep up because he was full of cake. In that scene, there were many people who suddenly transformed into cleaning services.
"Hehe. It's okay". This girl even looked up with her sweet smile.
_Aruna.. What kind of girl are you? You're so hard to understand_
"Hmm.. Hendra.. Hehe.. Sorry for disturbing.. But.. My friends and I want to.. Apologize". Lili was afraid because Aruna's room didn't look livable.
"Yes.. I'm sorry too".
"Sorry.. Okay?". They apologized one by one.
_Oh, it's Hendra_ Andin mostly observed someone who made her curious.
"It's okay, guys. My husband won't be angry. Right?". Aruna was still holding her husband. As if this girl hadn't met the blue-eyed man in a long time. Even though she accompanied this man when he was losing consciousness last night. In fact, Aruna was grateful for the fact that Hendra had awakened and was fine.
"Right. It doesn't matter as long as you guys are happy.. My wife must be happy to be surrounded by you".

"Wow.. What's this??". Just as they tolerated each other, Surya came in with a shocked expression.
With a grinning expression, in order not to spoil the moment, Hendra made a request: "Surya, make a reservation for a nearby restaurant. So that my wife can celebrate her birthday with her friends".
"Wow". Agus looked very happy.
"Ah right.. Prepare their clothes as well". Hendra added.
"Surya, I want to talk to my wife for a while.. Escort Aruna's friends out and get ready". He whispered to Surya.
Along with the way Surya smiled kindly and gave directions to Aruna's friends, this man closed the door. He helped Aruna sit on her bed. He shifted a chair, sat right in front of his favorite little woman.
"You must be very disappointed in me?". He said in regret.
"No". Aruna replied casually, unlike usual.
"I'm sorry. You must be tired of hearing me apologize all the time".
"It's okay, the important thing is you..". Aruna hadn't finished her words but she chose to embrace him in her arms.
"What's wrong with you? You seem different". The blue-eyed thought that Aruna wasn't like herself.
"Different? Really?".
"Yes.. Really different".
"What's the difference?".
"You become so easy..".
"Was I very difficult before?".
"Hehe.. Too difficult. When you're like this, I become more suspicious".
"Let's just say that I just realized and you're lucky now".
"Thanks, Aruna..".
"You're welcome, Hendra.. Sorry, I must've caused a lot of trouble for you".
"You make me even more suspicious if you're like this..".
"Let's get ready.. We have to change clothes as soon as possible.. My friends must be waiting".
.

"Hendra, find me a female nurse who usually helps me change clothes, please?!". The woman in the bathroom screamed loudly for help. Her husband was already handsome and neat, but she had difficulty changing clothes with an IV attached.
"I'll just take off the IV, okay? It's troublesome". She shouted again.
"What's the matter??". The man who'd been getting yelled at was curious until he opened the bathroom door just like that.
"Argh! You!". Aruna was so embarrassed that she only wore a bra on her chest. Her top dangled in her left hand. She didn't know how to take it off.
"Let me help. Come here". This man's ears turned red like a fireplace.
"Towel. Cover me first with a towel..". Aruna's ears were even redder.
"Yes..". The man continuously exhaled following his wife's orders. He covered that girl's body with a towel then tried to lower the IV to take off Aruna's clothes.
"Now get out.. I'll call you again if I need help".
"Just like that? I'm not allowed to bathe you??".
"Don't be stupid..".
"Next time let's take a shower together, okay?".
"Stop talking about something weird.. Get out.. Hehe".
Mahendra's face was pitiful.

"What's the matter, Gibran?". The coffee hater sat with a raging aura and put on a face that troubled the other person.
"Sit down.. You have to move fast this time". He asked.
_Ah, why is his expression worrying?_
"Gesang.. I don't know what happened. We lost contact. I'm afraid something happened to him". Gibran's jet black eyes looked wandering.
"What do you want me to do?". The other person replied, the man with a bracelet made by the founder of Magic Letter.
"We just managed to wreck one of the Wenceslas Construction's projects. It's gonna be big news tomorrow. The town officials have got the money to speak according to our orders".
"Now, disturb that girl. I want to see how he handles it at once. It'll be interesting". The coffee hater smiled.
"Wait! Didn't we agree yesterday that we wouldn't use his wife as a victim??". The owner of the bracelet was disappointed.
"Not kill her, just disturb her. I want to know the reaction of that cold guy. You know that I got the Blue Oceans' party footage after going through so much trouble getting someone in there. It turns out that Gesang managed to get the documentation from inside the party (Blue Oceans strictly prohibited taking photos and videos). The councils also want the same party at my wedding with the Baskoro family's daughter". (Gibran)
"Hendra seemed to be enjoying that party. Like what you expected, the wedding looked perfect". An arranged yet loving marriage from Gibran's point of view.
"Have you met Syakila?". The other person asked a question about Gibran's future wife, the youngest daughter of the Baskoro family.
"Haha. Don't ask. I don't want to discuss it".
"Rey, try to be faster in sneaking in and strategizing or the boards will take over. It'll be even more chaotic". The man in front of him nodded.

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
