Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 98
Advertisement
"I promise I won't sleep earlier this time. Because I have been sleeping all day long."
Hendra just watches her and he shows his palm asking for the key. Aruna hides it behind her back.
"Why don't you take off your suit and shoes? I will be awake, I swear!" The wife persuades. The man walks around the bed, stops when he reaches the work table near the right side of the bed, takes off his suit, loosens his tie, and puts them on the table. Then he turns around to look at Aruna.
Suddenly Aruna realizes that the blue eyed man is indeed handsome, just as when they first met in La Rose Cafe (Chapter 2) Although finally the meeting ended with her disliking the arrogant and rude man that outshines his visual quality.
Back then, Aruna was still a cute and cheerful girl. She didn't quite understand the crude and harsh words, including the proper way to reject someone, especially when she had to reject Damar without hurting his heart (Chapter 9)
From Hendra, she learns how to reject, hit or even grab someone by the head if it's needed. Because the CEO of Wenceslas Group continuously forces her to do something that she doesn't want. And now, the crazy CEO has become her husband.
He takes off his shoes and slips underneath the cover, laying on the king sized bed divided into two by two bolsters.
"Hendra, can I ask you something?"
"Ya."
"Why is there a bruise on your chin?"
"Oh, I fell down last night."
"Then why is there a bandage on the back of your palm?"
"I was hurt when I fell down."
"I see.."
"Next time, you have to be careful."
"Yeah, I will keep that in mind."
.
.
Aruna doesn't hear any sound coming from Hendra, might be he has fallen asleep.
Aruna stands up and looks for his phone, trying to find more information about the man that has now become her husband. She moves closer and uses his fingers to unlock Hendra's phone.
First, she opens WhatsApp. There are not many personal messages, it seems like his circle of friends are quite small. Maybe it has been taken care of by his secretary.
The groups are all work related, unlike hers. Except the Wenceslas's family group. And he doesn't even open the groups in his WhatsApp, ignoring tons of unread messages. He might be so busy that he doesn't have time.
Aruna doesn't date to open any messages because she knows that it is his privacy. She then leaves WhatsApp and moves to another app. Yes, she is curious to take a look at Hendra's instagram. But when he opens the app, there is no Official Mahendra Wenceslas's account. Instead, she finds a familiar account with a photo of the sky as its profile picture named bluehadyan.

_Wait, this account always leaves a like on my posts!_ Aruna searches for her own Instagram account from Hadyan's account. That's right, he even sent some love emoticons or sentences like 'I like it!' on Aruna's comment section. Aruna starts to smile shyly at herself.
The account also follows her friends in Surat Ajaib : Lili, Agus, Dea, including Damar. He even follows the Surat Ajaib official account. Despite his cold facade, this man has another side of him. Aruna just remembers that Hadyan is his middle name when she designed the wedding invitation.
She misses her friends in Surat Ajaib. Last time she heard, they were so busy because the customers coming wanted to have the same wedding invitation as the CEO of Wenceslas Group which caused the company going viral.
*Surat Ajaib, a startup behind the Blue Oceans themed invitation.
*Unique invitation from the wedding of the Handsome CEO of the Wenceslas Group.
*Wedding Organizer of the CEO of Wenceslas Group says that the concept of the Blue Oceans was taken from the 3D wedding invitation made by Surat Ajaib.
Those are several online articles that pop on every news portal.
Hendra pushes her to take this project and it turns out it gives the positive effect to the startup that she built with a dream.
This girl is getting more and more curious. She swipes to find other apps but pouts when she finds nothing interesting. Work note, Business news related app, Finance app, Shares data and other boring things related to Hendra's work.
She puts down the phone for a while, trying to hold back her curiosity.
But then she changes her mind, puts his finger to unlock the phone again and opens the photo gallery.
This guy might take a lot of pictures because he knows that he is handsome. Aruna plans to get his photos secretly in the gallery to show others when they ask where her husband is. She plans to show him around.
But when the gallery on Hendra's iPhone finally opens, Aruna's heart stops beating, there isn't any picture of himself. Instead this gallery is filled with her photos taken secretly.
On the fast food restaurant, inside the Trans bus, on the rooftop of the residential complex building, on the train. He was stalking her. Mahendra saves all Aruna's photos and crops Damar out of the picture so he can focus only on Aruna.
Although the photos are not perfect, only half of her face, back, side profile, and other shoots that aren't perfect, Hendra saves it all. And every Aruna's expression, from smiling, when she is angry or laughing, has been documented neatly in his gallery.

Aruna is getting more and more curious to find out his perspective of her and how he lives his life daily. She puts down his husband's phone and moves closer to take a look at him who is sleeping peacefully.
His personalities are like two sides of the coin. He can change into a devil and in one second, turns into an angel.
Aruna lays down near her stalker closer and hugs his arms. She puts her head on his shoulder, on the man that she puts as 'The Crazy CEO' on her phone book. And Aruna wants to hit him when she sees that he has saved her number under the name 'The teasing lips'
What the hell was that?!
He is indeed crazy!!
.
.
'Mommy.. Where are we going, Mom?'.
'We are going home.. Do you know Indonesia?'.
'I disagree, I prefer it here. I don't like to change anything.''
'Nothing will change, I will still love you'
_Whose breath is this?_
_I can even hear her heart beating_
_Whose breath is this?_
_I can even hear her heart beating_
_Is it Mommy?_ The man is caught between the dream and the reality.
"Hug me tonight, don't break your promise."
"Why was I so lonely? Mommy said you would still love me."
"Why do I have to sleep alone?"
"Did you forget that I was afraid to sleep alone?"
_Thank you for accompanying me tonight_
The boy born in the foreign land, just lived with his mom and they were inseparable. Only her that he has seen, loved, and owned since the first time he opened his eyes to see the world.
The boy now curls up, trying to find his mother's arms and hugs her as if he is back to the five years old little boy.
It seems comfortable and he is no longer afraid to sleep alone. He is so happy, his mother can accompany him to sleep.
_Wait, is this just a dream?_
_How can it feel so warm?_
_Where am I?_
_Why is there someone on my arms?_
_And her clothes? What am I dreaming?_
Hendra blinks and sees a body on his arms.
"AARGH!" The man pushes Aruna away and falls down from the bed. His chest is hurt and it is difficult to breathe. Hendra hits on his chest to find his own sanity. Is this a dream or a reality?
"Hendra… What happened?" His wife wakes up and looks at him in confusion.
"What happened to you?"
The man moves back a little, eyes widening trying to make sure that she is not his mother.
"Huuh.. huuh.." He tries to control himself and breathe normally.
_Remember, Hendra. She moves.. She wakes up.. She breathes.. She is alive and isn't dead_ Hendra tries to remind himself.
"Aruna, get me a glass of water." The petite wife immediately follows his instruction. She moves closer to Hendra who is still sitting on the floor, watching him as she gives the glass to him.
"Are you having a bad dream?"
"I think so."
Hendra looks so tired with uneven breaths.
"Are you okay? What can I do to help?"
"Em…" Aruna walks trying to find tissue to wipe his cold sweat on the forehead. At the same time Hendra stands up and puts on his shoes.
"Change your clothes." He instructs and the man has found the key that Aruna puts below the pillow.
"Where are you going this late at night?"
"Just go to sleep! I will be back." Without sparing her another glance, he walks out of the room.
Just as she is curious about the blue eyed man's phone, Aruna creeps on behind Hendra's back. It's 2.30 AM, where is he going? The man walks through the corridors of the main house which is similar to a castle. He walks on the stairs to go to the 3rd floor, one floor above their room.
"Whom is he meeting? Who is that woman?"
Aruna can see him talking with a young woman, maybe she is around her age, then they enter into a room.
Aruna moves closer, trying to find out what they are talking about. But her effort is futile.
She moves back and sits at the corner, hidden to watch over the door. However, until dawn Hendra doesn't leave the room.
So Aruna just let it go and walked back to her room immediately. She stops for a while to ponder about the house of the Wenceslas's family. Every room is too complicated for her and Hendra is a mystery.

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...
