Chapter 112 - Sparkling Light

"Look!". Hendra looked back. The terrace and living room were only separated by walls and doors which were dominated by glass. That adult couple was kissing tenderly in the living room that looked quiet. Still dominated by the sound of the TV. They didn't know that Aruna and Hendra could catch their scene red-handed, who were kissing so deeply.

"They haven't even got married but they can be that intense". Hendra was so envious.

"Could you give me the same thing as what your sister did to Aditya?". #soenvy2

Aruna only glanced at the man beside him lazily.

"Did you forget that we're not a couple? Even our marriage is only a deal. So, we are different from them emotionally". Aruna said it without emotion, didn't look at her husband.

"They love each other, even their relationship has been going on since high school".

Ouch'

_So it's just me who likes you_ Hendra played the water in front of him. There was a pain that he knew what it means now.

.

.

"If you can't give me a kiss, could you get closer so we can look romantic?". Hendra's words seemed far-fetched. Aruna only frowned.

"I don't want to!".

"Your dad is paying attention to us".

"No! I don't believe it. You're lying".

"Look at the 2 o'clock angle behind you. He is staring at us from behind the window".

"Really? Hendra?! You're not lying?". With Hendra's instruction, this girl secretly tried to glance at something that was disclosed by Hendra. A silhouette of a man standing behind the window was caught a bit.

Aruna immediately hugged her husband. Hendra smiled happily.

_You may not fall in love with me yet, but I still have enough chance_ This man mustered up his courage. Now he knew his feelings were called falling in love.

"You want us to look romantic in front of your dad". A nod was given in response to his words.

"What can I do? I don't want my dad to worry".

_This kid really loves her family_ She's still kind, even though her attitude gets worse.

Hendra tightened Aruna's hug, rubbing the hair of the girl beside him. Sort of getting a bonus, that man kissed Aruna's lips lightly a few times. This girl surrendered helplessly, she was tired of the disgusting feeling in her heart.

They looked romantic from behind. That's what was caught by Mr. Lesmana. Aruna's hug from a side angle and leaned on Hendra's shoulder. She looked like a woman who really loves the man beside her. Hendra already went down from his seat. He was wet, dipping half of his body in the swimming pool and stood in front of Aruna.

"You know, Dad is still peeking at us. We need to be more romantic". He started activating his goofy instinct.

"Really??". Aruna wanted to take a peek at her dad again.

"Don't turn around or you'll get caught. Your dad is paying attention to us carefully", he said without emotion, convincingly.

"So, what if I get a hug?! You need that, so your dad becomes more certain that we're a perfect couple". He made his most skillful trick, giving bait.

"Unlucky.. Unlucky..", Aruna complained.

Hendra indeed immersed his body, but only half of it was wet. Since he is pretty tall, his face and Aruna's face were at the same height.

That man put his hands on the right and left sides of Aruna's seat. He started staring closely at the girl in front of him. The blue eyes that were caught as a threat in Aruna's eyes, started getting closer.

That hand traced down Aruna's hair and took off her ponytail.

"Hendra! I don't like the way you're looking at me. You're getting scary!". She wanted to leave.

"Nothing will happen, because it's an open space. Didn't I already promise that I won't repeat what happened that night? You can keep my promise".

"Is my dad still at the back?".

"Yeah, of course".

_He just disappeared_

"I'll only give a hug. I don't want to kiss you!".

_Whatever that is, as long as I get something_

_Because you're really beautiful right now_

The exposure of the morning sun pierced through the water and reflected perfectly, radiated sparkling light. The light also lit the face of the girl at the front. Aruna looked so shining. That girl slowly pulled her husband's body into her hug. Hendra hugged her too.

This goofy man embraced Aruna, carried her.

"Hendra?! What are you doing?? I don't want to get wet!". She hit Hendra's shoulder.

Hendra reminisced about it, smiled slyly carrying that tiny body away from the side of the swimming pool.

Aruna embraced herself so she wouldn't get wet. The water on the side where they stood at was only waist-deep. Going further would be deeper, it was designed that way so that all ages would be able to make use of it.

"Give me a kiss, I'll take you back to the side without getting wet", he persuaded his wife, his ability slowly matched his desire.

"Damn..! You purposely set me up".

"Really! Dad is still at the back".

"You're lying! I know you're good at lying". Hendra laughed happily, admitted it.

_He is indeed a good liar_ Aruna felt betrayed.

"No! Nothing for you! Take me back".

"Come on..", he held the tiny body that was still resting on him tightly.

"Hendra, you're really annoying!".

"Hahaha.. Sorry..". That chuckle reflected in the water and spread into the air. They were really caught red-handed being affectionate to each other by dad and the whole house.

In the family pool which was located outside the house, what really happened was an argument. But people who saw from a distance without being able to listen closely to the conversation between these unique husband and wife would think that both of them are newlyweds, who were being intimate and teasing each other.

Aruna didn't intend to give something that Hendra wanted. She chose to get off of her husband.

Her face was angry. She pushed Hendra's body. She forgot that Hendra was too strong for her. The wife fell down to the water and all wet including her hair.

Hendra couldn't hold back himself. Wiryo's grandson laughed out loud seeing Aruna fall by herself funnily.

That person in white presented something exciting again. Once again, she made Hendra's face and ears turn red.

Those tiny hands almost reached the side of the pool, after walking slowly through the water. Not sure what happened, Hendra didn't want to miss this moment, he walked in a hurry reaching Aruna's back, hugged her strongly from behind : "I love you, really love you. Give me a chance, I beg you".

.

.

"Argh. Let go! Let go of me..!! Lately you've been acting as you wish. Don't hug me randomly!".

"Argh.. The water is trapped in my ear..".

"Ugh.. It's aching", Aruna looked busy tilting her head. Looks like falling into the bottom of the pool made the water entering her ears.

"You didn't listen to what I talked about?".

"Huh, what??".

Hendra smiled again, laughed at himself. It's always messed up and not on target. He closed his eyes for a moment. He felt that his effort fighting between his heart and mind was just useless.

No one really knew whether the phrase from Lesmana's daughter was a disguised rejection or her ears really couldn't hear. Aruna is the smartest kid in terms of hiding her desire.

.

.

They were soaking wet and took turns using the bathroom. When that girl came out of her bathroom, a towel was used to rub her hair. A scenery that caught his attention. Hendra was still immersed, trembling inside a wide towel which he got from being thrown by Lesmana's daughter.

"Hmm.. You smell so good.. You don't usually smell this good". Hendra complimented her, something that was indeed true.

"This is my favorite soap, a homemade soap by my friend, a start-up product by young adults. Like Magic Letter".

.

.

"Aruna.. The soap is the bar one, right?". Not long after entering the bathroom, that man screamed loudly.

"Yes, why?".

"Ah. I can't use it. Get me my soap in the suitcase".

"Huh.. This human is so complicated".

"Open the door". Aruna knocked on the door lazily.

"Why did you take off your clothes carelessly?". Hendra didn't wear anything except a towel that covered his lower body part. His hair was full of shampoo foam and his forehead flushed.

"I'm taking a bath, of course I took off my clothes!".

"At least wear your clothes so I won't see your weird view".

"Don't complain too much. I really have a hard time taking a bath here. That shower is hurting my head".

Finally, Aruna smiled. Hendra's height didn't match her tiny shower that was installed permanently on the wall of the narrow bathroom for Wenceslas's young master.

"Use the tub behind you..!".

"Ah. I can't use it. Taking a bath using a puddle of water. It doesn't make sense".

"Ugh. This human..!!". Aruna gave Hendra's liquid soap harshly.
