The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 199

"It doesn't matter. My wife's cold expression is more dangerous than any threat". He said while starting the car engine, a sign the Jeep was ready to go.
Aruna started to enjoy the special Jeep car. She was amazed.
'What's wrong? What are you looking for, Honey?". Hendra asked when Aruna was seen observing and touching some of the interiors in the Jeep.
"It's cool". Aruna was amazed.
"A touch of luxury is felt in the interior. This Jeep must be expensive, right?". Aruna said. The student majoring in design was observing every side of the Jeep that belonged to the CEO of Wenceslas Group. Aruna observed the use of leather as a seat wrapper, including the door trim.
Those parts were wrapped in McKinley leather. The stitches also used contrasting threads.
That girl also enjoyed the heated front seat, cup holder, and more. The Rubicon's interior was also able to withstand shock, so it felt very comfortable.
"You like it?". The man asked.
"Yes.. Your things are amazing".
"This Jeep is a honeymoon gift for you".
"Oh, I see". That was the only expression that came out from the mouth of the adorable tiny girl. She was busy observing the interior instead of showing the excited expression that women usually showed when they got a special surprise.
"What song do you like, Honey?". Hendra offered to listen to music according to Aruna's wish. He tried to break the concentration of Aruna who was admiring the interior of the Jeep.
"Hm.. Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars". Aruna said spontaneously, bringing a smile to his face.
"You know, that song is really you".
"Don't try to seduce. You don't suit to do that. It'll look weird". Aruna responded to Mahendra's strange smile with a joke.
"Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me. And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see. But every time she asks me 'Do I look okay?'. I say". That man tried to sing but the tone was always messy.
"Hahaha. Hen.. Stop.. Haha. Please.. You're ruining the tone, you know?". Instead of looking seductive, he looked like a child learning to sing.

"Is it so bad?? Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me. Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy. She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day".
This man continued his singing regardless of Aruna's expression while presenting a slight movement in the form of a stiff and strange sway. It was too funny to watch and made the girl laugh out loud.
"Hehe.. Hen.. You look funny, not romantic. Hehe". Aruna hadn't found the romantic side that her husband was trying to do.
"You want a romantic one?". Suddenly, that car pulled over on the left side of the road which was still quiet.
"Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me". The blue-eyed sang another line. Aruna covered her mouth while holding back laughter as the man approached. This girl knew what the Wenceslas Group CEO was after.
"Come on, Honey.. I could kiss them all day". He exclaimed as he tried to grab the hand that covered the blushing cheeks.
"What.. I'll just tickle you..". He started to bother Aruna's stomach.
"Hahaha. Hen, it's ticklish..".
"Kiss me please..". The CEO of the Wenceslas Group slowly approached her. Unexpectedly, that girl put her hands on Mahendra's neck.
_Hm.. Delicious.._
"Love you..". The blue-eyed whispered before continuing it.
.
"Excuse me. Please don't park here". A Balinese man in his traditional clothes came to their car. It looked like he was a traditional policeman who was going around on a bicycle.
The two of them gasped and hurriedly apologized. While the car was leaving, a red tinge was seen on their faces.
"You kissed me too long.. We can lose the dolphins. Can I speed up?". Even the CEO who was intoxicated with love asked an unnecessary thing.
"Yeah.. Don't make us late!". The wife exclaimed, encouraging.

Lovina laid in front of the eyes. Aruna thought this place was something that carried a premium theme. A beach with luxury boats or rows of cool resort chairs, typical Mahendra. In fact, that place felt natural with local fishing boats.
Aruna was even more amazed by Mahendra's choice this time.

They came a little late so there weren't many boats left.
"You like it?". Hendra saw Aruna's bright smile.
"Don't ask too many questions. Hurry.. Pay for the boat quickly".
This man wanted to pay for all the seats on one of the fishing boats, but the man who owned the boat didn't allow it.
"Sorry, Sir. Lots of people like you can buy all the seats. Unfortunately, there will be many people who can't see the dolphins even though they've come all the way here". The friendly Balinese man explained to Hendra who wanted to be alone to please the woman beside him.
"Hey.. It's okay, Hendra. Let's just share it. It'll be fun". Aruna saw the disappointed look on the CEO of Wenceslas Group's face. That man was trying to be more human because his woman liked simple things outside of his life.
Lovina Beach was actually a beach that had a long history, not just to see dolphins playing under the tinge of the morning sun, dawn.
The name Lovina itself had a philosophical meaning, a mixture of the two syllables 'Love' and 'Ina'. The word 'Love' is from English and 'Ina' is from Balinese or local language meaning 'mother'. According to the initiator, Anak Agung Panji Tisna, the meaning of 'Lovina' is 'Mother's Love' or the noble meaning was 'Love of Mother Earth'.
'Lovina' was actually a cottage intended for tourists, a tourism idea that was considered strange at that time. Founded in 1953 by Anak Agung Panji Tisna, he got inspiration while traveling to several countries in Europe and Asia. What caught his attention the most was the life of the people in India. He stayed for a few weeks in Bombay. The way of life and conditions of the people there immediately influenced his way of thinking and insight into the future for Bali, especially the development of community welfare in the Buleleng Regency.
Meanwhile, Panji Tisna also saw a place that was beautifully arranged for people to have a vacation on the beach. That land had similarities with his land on Tukad Cebol Beach, Buleleng which was also located between two rivers. Panji Tisna's inspiration emerged to build such a resort.
Although the name was changed to Permata Cottages because it felt like it didn't show the characteristics of Balinese names, the name 'Lovina' was already popular so that until now the place was called Lovina.
Now, Hendra and Aruna were cruising the coast in a typical Balinese boat. Hendra was willing to share with several other passengers. While occasionally chattering with his wife, that man took beautiful panoramic shots of the dawn.
The man who preferred the dawn to the dusk. While waiting for the dolphin family who never showed up, Aruna observed Hendra's behavior. He was busy taking photos of himself, sometimes taking photos of the sun that had just risen.
"Hen.. Why do you prefer dawn over dusk?". Aruna asked, stopping his activity of taking panoramic photos.
"I used to be a man who worked late every day and sometimes lost track of time.
But when morning came, I got up on time, not wanting to miss the dawn.
I opened the curtains of my room widely.
To simply catch the sunrise from behind the metropolis.
At that time, it felt empty because I had nothing and no one to fill my life.
By seeing the dawn, I was given a reason to continue living.
The sun rises as if to tell me there is a reason for every life.
And that reason is beside me now.
Thank you my sun".
Mahendra kissed Aruna's cheek and smile, ending his words. That girl's expression instantly became sad.
Not long after that, it was buried by the hysterical people around because the dolphin family was seen dancing on the other end. The boatman slowly restarted the engine, trying to get close to the dolphin family.
Aruna was also hysterical. Her eyes sparkled and she patted Hendra a few times because she was so excited to see those dolphins chasing each other.
"Oh.. My God.. So cute..".
"Hen, look. Hen..".
"Take a photo of them.. Take a photo of me too..".
"Yes.. Yes, Dear..". That man said, balancing the excitement of his woman.
