Chapter 100 - Ruining The Aesthetic

"What do you think about this?" They are having an important meeting in Wenceslas Constructio

"I think the design is good enough. But it isn't environmentally friendly and will waste a lot of electricity." (Hendra)

"Yes… I agree!" (one of the architects from Wenceslas Construction)

"I don't like the ladies' bathroom design in the other one. It's too open." (Riswan)

"How about we make this project as a collaboration between the architects to realize our expectation faster. Is it possible?"

"That's right. Why don't we think about it sooner." (one of the architects from Wenceslas Construction)

"Is there anything that you want to add, Riswan?"

"I am majoring in Urban Design, specializing in Urban Planning. Regarding functional and the technological aspect, I can help but regarding interior and beauty… you guys are better than me." (Riswan)

"So we are going to put the library... " (Hendra)

Bip Bip Bip

"Wait a second."

"Yes, hello, Aruna."

"Um… Can I know how to order the menu that you usually send to the Surat Ajaib outlet?" (Aruna)

"Is that it? Nothing else?"

"Um… when are you coming home?"

"A bit late tonight."

"You haven't replied to my first question."

"Don't worry, Surya will take care of it."

"Is there anything that we need to talk about?" (Hendra)

"If there isn't…" (Hendra)

"When can I go back to my study and work with my friends?"

"Wait… we still need to prepare for it."

"What do you need to prepare?"

"I'll tell you later, okay?"

Hendra then goes back to his busy schedule.

.

.

"Aruna… where are you?" He enters the room carefully. It's 21.22 so Aruna might have been asleep. But the maid that he asked to wake her up says that she isn't sleeping. Maybe she is in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, Hendra doesn't find anyone in the bathroom.

_What the hell is that? Is she crazy?_

"Aruna… Aruna… where are you?!"

_She is really ruining the aesthetic_

_But..._

"Hehe…" He is blushing as he is looking at the strange things in the bathroom shyly. Even the tips of his ear reddens. He closes his eyes with his fingers, shaking his head. The dimples on his cheeks show when he smiles widely because he doesn't believe what Aruna is doing.

The man hesitantly raises his finger, but… Ah… He really wants to touch them.

_Is it okay to touch it? Oh my God, I have become a pervert_ His fingers trying to touch the cups of Aruna's bra which she hangs inside the bathroom. He can even see her panties beside it.

_This girl is making me… Ah… I'm embarrassed_ He starts to walk away but only after two steps, he comes back again, don't wanting to lose the chance.

He is looking at it then he smirks and grabs the laundry to hide it somewhere.

"Hehe…" Then he finds a drawer to hide it and locks it. He tosses the key to the air and takes it back. He then leaves the bathroom happily while humming although he can't sing at all.

"Where is she?" He stops for a while and takes a look at the maids who are bringing the clothes that he bought for her.

Today, Hendra wants to surprise her by not only buying new clothes for Aruna, but also the pair of shoes that she wants.

_Maybe I will ask for compensation later_

_Does she want to though?_ He enters the large dressing room.

Being a perfectionist that he is, Hendra then starts to take off his watch on his wrist. He puts it on the same spot he took it before. And then he starts to walk closer to the mirror while taking off his cufflink.

His eyes suddenly widened as he caught the sight of the woman that he has been looking for. Then he moves stealthily.

The M shaped room with the mirror along the wall helps to show everything that happens in every corridor.

Including the back of the petite body in the mirror who is busy choosing her clothes.

"Hehe." Hendra giggles happily when the naked back is slowly revealed. She is going to change her clothes. The man is getting more curious as he moves closer to the mirror and finds a place to watch her.

_Take it off… Ah.. why she is looking that way_ And her naked back is finally shown.

"Hehehe…" Hendra can't control his laughs. The man hits the wardrobe door, a bit too happy when he realizes that Aruna doesn't wear any bra. That means the things that ruin the aesthetics are all in laundry and he manages to hit them.

_Um… is that?_

_Ah… just forget it_ Aruna takes another clothes and starts to slip the arms into it.

"Wait! Is that a laugh? Who is laughing?"

She turns around.

"HENDRAAAAA!!"

"BRAK!" The man is shocked and runs as quickly as possible, into the drawer table that is lined up in the middle of the hallway where Hendra puts his accessories. 

Aruna grabs her husband quickly.

"You… You… Are you peeking at me after being a stalker?"

"Who is peeking at you? I was changing my clothes."

"Huh… you're lying."

This man starts to open his shirt buttons one by one.

_Hehe… She wouldn't be able to see it_

"Wait… wait! Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"I have told you that I want to change my clothes."

_Hehe_ He holds back his smile.

He manages to take off his shirt and the broad chest is available for Aruna to see.

"Argh". The woman shrieks and closes her eyes with both hands.

"Hendra, you are too much! Don't take off your clothes in front of me!" She manages to take a peek behind her fingers. Hendra is quite intriguing and thrilling. 

"You also take off your clothes as you like. So, why shouldn't I?"

_Take off my clothes as I like?_ Her brain starts churning, trying to grasp what Hendra means.

"Hendra, you said that I took off my clothes as I like?"

"That means you are peeking!" The woman clenches her fists and moves closer to the blue eyed man.

"Ingat! Melihat bagian tubuh lawan jenis tidak di atur dalam MOU.. Kau tak boleh marah hehe". Pria ini pandai mengada-ngada.

"Remember, peeking isn't mentioned in the agreement! So you can't be angry at me hehe."

"What the heck? Not everything can be mentioned in the agreement!"

"Sini kau..!!". Aruna, Gadis kecil ini mengabaikan ke canggungan-nya. Mengepalkan tangan kecil berjalan ke arah Hendra, berniat memukulnya.

"Come here!" Aruna shrugs off her awkwardness. With fists clenched, she walks to Hendra, wanting to hit him.

But the blue eyed man stays calm. He even starts to provocate Aruna by moving closer to her to show how cool he is with his naked chest. He knows that she will be flustered.

He is right. His wife moves back with reddened cheeks. She looks cute when frightened.

"You can touch it, but you should open your hand and not clench it. Hehe.."

"It will feel better…"

"Hendra, you!"

"Argh… shit…" She runs away, frightened and embarrassed.

"Hahaha.." Hendra laughs loudly to celebrate his win.

.

.

"Hen.." The man is tidying the clothes that he bought for Aruna. He sits on the sofa and puts every clothes on the hanger, preparing to put them on the left side which has been emptied out by the maids. There are still a lot of empty spaces because Hendra hasn't bought many clothes for Aruna in one go.

She needs more, he thinks when he arranges and stacks them perfectly from the lightest colors to the darkest ones.

"Hendra, do you see something inside the bathroom?"

He shakes his head and feigns innocence.

"Where are they… I just left them behind for a while to change my clothes and I am sure I left them there."

"Sit for a while. Don't you want to thank me?"

"I also buy you…"

"Wait! Hehe." He looks at her for a while.

_Ah.. I have seen foreign women go topless during summer. But why… hers is..._

"Hai!" Aruna notices that Hendra is staring at her breasts openly.

"Just take a seat first. Here… this is the shoes you wanted." Hendra gives her the dream shoes and the girl smiles widely because she is so happy.

"But… Wait… I need to find my things first."

"Where are they?" 

"Maybe the maids have cleaned them somewhere?" (Hendra)

Hendra's words make her stand up quickly, move to the telephone and make a call. But it turns out that the maids don't know about it.

"What are you actually looking for? Is it really important?"

_Ah shit… why is it so interesting?_ She is wearing one of his pink shirts and he manages to catch "something" that makes him want to look at her for a long time.

_Damn… am I really a pervert just like Aruna say?_

_Be patient… I need her to trust me so I can touch it_ He imagines it with a shy smile.

The girl sits beside him, looking anxious and is silent for a while.

"Hendra, did you buy these clothes for me?"
