Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 13

"You must be thirsty." Damar guessed Aruna's tired face, who fell down beside him.
Damar opened his water bottle, handed it to the ponytail girl. Aruna nodded as she answered him. Damar's sweet treatment attracted Hendra's attention.
'Is he Aruna's boyfriend? Hmmm... (mysterious smile) It means we are balanced. There won't be a problem. She and I both have another man and woman.' Hendra noticed the two young people's movements.
Hendra just didn't know that Damar and Aruna had a one-sided love relationship. The relationship built on the foundation of friendship made Damar shackled to just declare his love for Aruna.
They ended in their respective perspectives. For Aruna, Damar's sweet treatment applied to all women. Understandably, this literary student was good at composing words, and his work was spreading the silly virus to many girls.
The victims fell countless times. That was the rumours circulating.

"You guys eat with me first, then I'll take you home." Surya was confused about where to start the conversation.
"Aren't you interested in introducing myself, Surya?" The beautiful artist was sticked to Hendra.
Surya irritated seeing her. Didn't she realise that her boss's future wife was among them?
"I have to introduce you as what? Artist? A High school friend? Or something?" Hendra's assistant shows his saturation.
"You still like to bother me?" Tania smiled sweetly. She really shined with her ideal body and feminine fashion. Ah, very far from Aruna.
The woman's presence didn't disturb Aruna's calm at all. She even suspected from the very beginning that the marriage contract was made. Aruna believed the reason was the woman beside Hendra.
"I'll go with Tania, you take care Aruna and him." Hendra stood up. It wasn't suitable for him and Tania to be seen together openly.

Moreover, this boutique was a place where Tania's friends regularly ordered dresses.
"Wait a minute, I still don't agree with the dress." Aruna was more annoyed by the fluffy dress than the complicated relationship between the five people around her, including herself.
"Miss Aruna just submitted her request yesterday so Dede prepared the existing collection first." Surya gave an explanation.
Hendra immediately asked Dede to specifically communicate with Aruna. With pleasure, the famous designer listened to the expectations of his VVIP customers.
He also included some additional questions. Did you like flowers? What colour did you prefer? Pearl or rock crystal? And so forth.
"I can't stay here long, Surya" Hendra whispered to his assistant.
"Just go, Aruna come home with me." Damar didn't intend to eavesdrop or anything, but the two men were right in front of him. They simultaneously turned their heads.
"I disagree, just drive her home. Much safer." Hendra delivered his instructions to Surya, but his gaze was on Damar.
"Try asking directly to Aruna, she must be more comfortable coming home with me." Damar was very confident in his expression because he knew who Aruna was.
"Like you, who want to go out with that woman." Damar added a word of resentment with his trademark expression, an expression usually he used to break the hearts of bullies.
'Ouch, this man is really dangerous. He doesn't know who Hendra really is. Aaargh what should I do?? My life is tough today.' Surya complained.
Fortunately, Aruna has finished with Dede. The girl took her bag. Damar stood, following Aruna's motion.
"Thank you very much for today, Damar and I can go home alone. We will go first." Aruna exclaimed.
"Are you sure you're fine going home with that man?" The expression of the word 'man' was implicitly referring to Damar.

"I knew him for two years, not two weeks." Aruna threw a sweet smile at Surya and Hendra. She even shook Tania's hand and introduced herself for a moment.
"Aruna." She greeted Tania.
"Tania." Tania had time to tuck her beautiful hair behind her ear, an expression she presented to make it look dazzlingly beautiful.
"See you." The little girl was completely unfazed, waving down the stairs.
Damar walked over while glancing at Hendra and releasing a fake smile full of triumph.
'What are they doing?'
Hendra was accustomed to being respected by thousands of Wenceslas Group employees. No one even dared to go against his request, let alone throw innuendo directly at him. And now, two young people who just became known were bringing it up openly.
"Tania, you go home alone." Hendra handed over Tania's car key.
"I still have a need, next time we meet again." Hendra entered his own car. Surya was surprised by Hendra's decision.
'What else is this?? Why did he suddenly change his mind? Surya had asked where they were going this time. No answer. Hendra was busy calling someone.
***
"Make sure you watch them! If necessary, take their pictures and videos! Report to me any time!" Those were the only words Surya could hear.
'Who is watched by hendra??' Surya wondered what was so severe that he didn't want to be separated from his phone.
"Yes, definitely not far from the boutique."
"That's right, a long sleeved shirt with jeans."
"Just send the photos." Surya heard Hendra's voice once again.
Not long after, his boss was busy with his phone and was busy checking some pictures.
"Please answer me a moment, we go to the office or return to the house." Surya asked.
"Go to the office, I'll rest at the hotel." Hendra answered.
"Ah, what the hell are you saying now." Surya turned the steering wheel covered in annoyance. The assistant was getting tired.
"Banggg." Hendra's phone fell. Surya glanced at him, resetting the speed of the car.
'Wait? What did he just see?? Oh my God..' Surya realised why Hendra had been unfocused.

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.

Persona Non Grata
After the events of Dr. Jose Rizal's second novel "El Filibusterismo", the story follows the tale of the former students Basilio and Isagani in the aftermath of the failed assassination plot against the most powerful governing political figures in the Delos Santos residence. Now a licensed doctor and a tenured businessman, Basilio and Isagani returns to the Philippines after their 10-year venture in Spain and in the United States to spearhead a large-scale project for the Spanish crown. For the first time in the history of the country, the Spanish government has allowed Indios to pioneer major public works, and the Filipinos, seeing this as major milestone of their race, welcomed it cheering and with open arms. It was also during that same year when the new Captain-General was appointed to the Philippines following the scandal involving the outgoing Captain-General, who sent an entire battalion of Indio conscripts to be deliberately slaughtered by a gang of tulisanes led by a man going by the name 'Matanglawin' (Falcon-eye). Leonardo Montes, the incoming Captain-General, was both feared and loved by his subjects. A close friend of the king and reputed for upholding honor, discipline and goodwill among his subjects, he won the confidence of the Cortes and of the Filipino people when political unrest arose during the tenure of his predecessor when he represented the Philippines in the high courts and won the case. However, Montes, now at the early days of his tenure, is faced with a huge and pressing problem: the widespread opium trade in the Philippines. Chinese immigration to the Philippines has increased at an exponential rate since his predecessor came to power and so is the circulation of the substance within the country. And to make matters worse, strange cases of killings and abductions began to terrorize the country, with the motives of the culprit unknown...

Souls of Savagery
Souls of Savagery is a series of short stories intended to function much like a comic book series. However, to experience the complete story in a logical order you should read the volumes in numerical order, starting of course, with Volume 1: A Bloodbath by Any Other Name. Each volume is told from a single point of view and that will change from volume to volume. Though, the narrative will require later volumes to return to characters that have been featured previously. I hope you enjoy.
