The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 172

"So actually, there are two things that make us interested. Even you guys who are at home will definitely be interested. The first is the groom who'd gone viral because of the betting case of several actresses. Because, geez, he's just really handsome. You know what kind of public figures that we like, right? Hehe. Rich!". Ayu was talking nonsense.
"This is what we're waiting for. Prepare your hearts because what we'll discuss today is.. Byan, how is this? My mouth can't even call our guest stars today". Ayu joked, opening the talk show session.
"You're exaggerating, Yu. But anyway, you're telling the truth. Indeed, our guests are very special. Who else, if not the new couple who were being chased by the media crew yesterday?". Biyan replied.
"So actually, there are two things that make us interested. Even you guys who are at home will definitely be interested. The first is the groom who'd gone viral because of the betting case of several actresses. Because, geez, he's just really handsome. You know what kind of public figures that we like, right? Hehe. Rich!". Ayu was talking nonsense.
"You make us not focus, Yu. I swear!". Biyan said.
"I'm not done talking yet. Don't disturb me! And second. It turned out that before this case was actually over, the CEO of the Wenceslas Group or Djoyo Makmur Group, surprisingly married an ordinary girl. A sophomore majoring in design. Which makes us desperately curious, because the wedding was also so extraordinary called Blue Oceans. See. You guys are already starting to realize who's going to be here. You can't believe it, right?? I can hardly believe it too!! When it's confirmed that our guests are willing to come today..". Ayu exclaimed excitedly like a professional host of the show.
"And to make matters worse, that marriage was hidden from the media. Including his wife, who was said to be the luckiest woman in this year, was also hidden from the media. And today.. WOW WOW". Biyan was hysterical. His expression was so eye-catching.
"Both of them came to For You talkshow, special for all of you who are at home and in the studio. Let's welcome CEO Mahendra Wenceslas and his cute wife, Mrs. Aruna. Please..". Biyan's voice brought the footsteps of the married couple to the stage. Hendra was seen holding Aruna's back. Aruna's footsteps needed to be guarded so they didn't fall. She was wearing slightly taller shoes today. She still looked tiny.

Hendra seemed to stop for a moment and smiled at the camera. He helped Aruna to do the same. A little clumsy but Aruna tried to follow the blue-eyed's direction.
After shaking hands and sitting on the sofa, this girl became even more tense.
"See.. See.. He's so handsome". Ayu joked.
"Yu! He's someone's husband. Remember". Biyan said.
"How does it feel to have a handsome husband? Aa.. He's looking at me, Biyan". Ayu joked.
Hahaha. They laughed together.
"Let's ask a standard question first..". Biyan tried to go back to the original topic.
"Hi, Hendra. Could you introduce the cute wife beside you? Reportedly, who's very difficult to be searched by reporters. It doesn't seem like she does a lot of outdoor activities, huh??". Biyan asked.
Before answering, the Wenceslas Group CEO sat up with attentive eyes and gave a warm smile.
"Honey.. Let's greet the viewers at home first?". Mahendra asked Aruna to wave at the camera.
"As you mentioned earlier, my wife's name is Aruna. A second year student, right?". Hendra was indeed smart. He stole the attention of many people, including showing a warm impression regarding his marriage.
Aruna nodded as she took Hendra's hand, a sign that she was really nervous. Nervous because she'd be widely known as part of the Wenceslas family. More precisely, the wife of Wenceslas's sole heir. A status that she didn't want from the start.
"Indeed, my wife is currently on leave from her college. She's a little traumatized when she was chased by the media crew to the campus lobby. Maybe someone still remembers I made a statement in front of the Tri Pusaka campus because of my wife. Oh, at that time she wasn't my wife yet. So, she was urged to make a statement regarding the viral photos of us that were accidentally spread widely". Mahendra reminded the public how Aruna was once 'held hostage' on the second floor because she was being hunted by journalists. Actually, that incident was done by Hendra, by asking Pradita to distribute photos of himself with Aruna to clear his name.
"Ah, right.. I remember very well. Actually, at that time you were being rumored to be close to Tania, right?". Ayu confirmed.
"We miss Tania.. Since the rumor of spending the night with you at the hotel, Tania is like being swallowed by the earth.. Even all her advertisements and drama series contracts were suddenly terminated.. Perhaps you know about Tania?". Biyan said.

Hendra just smiled. This was why he really didn't like attending TV station exclusive interviews. Because this was a live event, Hendra had to respond.
"Honestly, like my statement from the start, we both have been friends since high school. It can be confirmed to some of our high school friends. The rumors saying I brought her because she won a bet or we spent the night together at my hotel and so on, all of them were a big mistake because I brought Tania home that night. Previously, we'd stopped at the Wenceslas Ritz hotel because I had things to do at that time. I'm sorry I spoke at length because I hope that my good name, including my best friend Tania, is completely cleared".
Mahendra covered the anger in his heart. Other people wouldn't be able to see it because that face was still bright and full of smiles. Except for the tiny girl beside him who began to understand that there was something different about Hendra's face.
"How about the communication with Tania? Is it still good or…?". Biyan hadn't finished talking yet.
"I also lost contact with Tania since that incident. It's too bad how a rumor can destroy our friendship". Hendra hastily interrupted Biyan's question.
_Ah, right.. I forgot about Tania. Where is that old man hiding her?_ The latest info about Tania that Hendra received was that she and her manager were under Wiryo's supervision.
_Oh my God.. How could I forget about something important?_
"Okay. Alright. Let's go back to the main topic, okay? Hopefully, in the future we can see Tania again in the drama series. Hi, Tania.. We miss you.. Your rumors are cleared now. Come back. Work again. Love you, babe". Ayu said. She was part of Tania's friends.
"For Mrs. Aruna. How does it feel to be the wife of CEO Mahendra? With his handsome face and reportedly, also the main heir of the Wenceslas Makmur Group. Is that true?". Ayu asked Aruna a question.
"Hmm…". This girl looked at Hendra. Hendra rubbed Aruna's arm as if he meant 'it's okay, just answer it'.
"Hehe.. So-so". That girl's answer brought laughter to the people around her. They couldn't understand how she could make such a simple answer to a long and emotional question. Naturally, in general, women would answer while showing off how amazing she could have a husband who was being loved by many people. He even became the target of Indonesian actresses.
"Please. Is there another answer?". Ayu urged.
"Hm.. Sometimes, I'm also happy". Aruna added.
"Hehe.. You seem like a funny girl, right?". Biyan guessed.
"Not funny, but adorable". Hendra added sweet words. He knew Aruna was nervous.
"I can't accept if the answer is just like that". Ayu whined.
"What about Hendra? How does it feel to have a wife who's seven years apart? Is that right? And still a college student". Biyan chattered.
"More precisely, it's almost eight years apart between me and my wife. She just had her 20th birthday while I'm gonna be 28 soon". Hendra answered.
"Then, how do you feel? Don't answer 'so-so' or 'sometimes, I'm also happy'. Haha". This male host gave Hendra an ultimatum while remembering Aruna's answers earlier.
Hendra laughed before answering: "My life is more colourful. To be honest, even though she's much younger than me, I learned a lot from my wife. We have slightly opposite characters. I find it a bit difficult to socialize because of my busy schedules. Meanwhile, my wife, from the first time we met, I knew she's a warm and cheerful girl. It makes me want to be home soon".
"Uh.. So sweet…". Ayu also blushed.
"Then.. Is there anything else?'. Ayu asked.
"What else?". Hendra was also confused.
"I'm definitely happier now than when I was alone. So, those who are still single, get married quickly. Hehehe". Hendra's answer ended with a chuckle. His dimples were seen on camera. He looked much different from his aura that seemed cold. Now, he looked like a warm man.
"Hendra is making fun of us". Biyan said.
"Just you, not me. I've been married even though I'm a widow now. Hahaha". Ayu joked.
"Please, God. Leave one more guy like Hendra. I'll marry him immediately". Ayu exclaimed, making the whole studio laugh.
"Okay. Don't go anywhere. After this, we'll come back. For You, special for you". Biyan closed.
