Chapter 197 - Aloe Vera

"Ah. You haven't even washed your drool but the taste can be this good". He kissed her mouth again. She gaped because of something that her brain couldn't make sense of.

"What time is it, Hen?". Aruna asked while trying to regain her consciousness. It seemed that it was still very early.

"Four o'clock". Mahendra replied while tidying up a few things. He was preparing a jacket for himself and Aruna.

"It's still very early. Don't you feel dizzy or something because of last night?". Aruna looked at Hendra who looked neat but her eyes couldn't be fooled.

"I've taken NSAID". Hendra replied. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a type of aspirin that are often used to relieve hangover headaches.

Aruna didn't understand what Hendra said. She just thought maybe it was some kind of medicine.

"Hurry up and take a shower. We'll see dolphins on Lovina Beach. It takes two hours from here. You said you want to see the sunset with me, right? But honestly I prefer to see the dawn". Hendra said. He was still busy preparing their travel needs.

"Does that mean you're going to take me to see dolphins in the open sea?". Aruna's face lit up and immediately got up from the bed.

"Yes. We start today by seeing the dawn accompanied by dolphins".

"Thank you, Hendra..". Aruna ran to the bathroom.

.

"Hm.. Hendra, can I wear casual clothes as I want?". This tiny girl looked cheerful and forgot about what happened last night. She put a few slices of sandwich into her mouth and took a sip of the hot drink served by Hendra as fast as she could.

"Yes.. No problem.. Wear whatever you want". Hendra glanced at Aruna who ate messily.

"Sit down for a minute". The blue-eyed man grabbed a tissue and handed it to the tiny woman who was still wrapped in a pajama towel.

"Sorry..". Aruna immediately wiped the food around her mouth, including on the pajama towel she was wearing.

This girl didn't realize Hendra was approaching her, trying to squeeze and hold the thick white cloth. The blue-eyed was caught shifting the cloth that wrapped Aruna as if he wanted to see something.

Aruna spontaneously stared at him, holding the edge of the towel that wrapped her.

That man walked over to the nightstand and grabbed a green-colored tubular object that had an image of a thick leaf of the genus Aloe. Plants originated from Saudi Arabia or more popularly known as Aloe Vera.

It could be that the name Aloe Vera wasn't just because it looked like a crocodile, it was green, and had jagged edges. Maybe because this plant was able to remove the spots caused by men who liked to bite their women. Yes.. A kind of medicine for women who were bitten.

"What's that for?". Aruna asked. She was observing the movement of Hendra's hand, opening the Aloe Vera.

"This gel is used for reducing the sensitivity of the area affected by the love bites. Aloe Vera can help to get rid of the bruises from my bites quickly". Hendra said, reaching out his hand and making a dabbing motion on Aruna's neck.

"I ordered it last night.. Before I got drunk. Now open your towel so I can help". Mahendra explained while stroking the girl's neck. The blue-eyed saw more than four red marks on Aruna's neck.

"Hm.. Let me do it by myself, Hen..". This girl objected a little. She must've remembered what happened last night or maybe she didn't want the man in front of him to know how badly he behaved last night.

"I want to help you so we can leave quickly. We have to reach Lovina Beach at dawn. Do you mind?". Mahendra's gaze made Aruna unable to refuse. The husband was still stroking one of the scars from last night while looking at her full of hope. He turned into a sad man who wanted to pay off his regrets.

"I'll wear the underwear first..". Aruna disappeared for a moment, went to the bathroom, then returned with the loose straps of her pajama towel.

When she sat on the edge of the bed, Hendra immediately shifted his chair closer to reveal the towel that she refused to lower down.

Aruna immediately used that cloth to cover her belly down.

"My behavior last night is this bad, huh?". He was amazed, looking at Aruna's body which was full of red spots.

That man rushed to apply aloe vera on the red spots all over Aruna's body. This little girl also followed him.

"Does it hurt?". Every now and then Hendra asked the same question.

"A little". Her answer was always the same every time the blue-eyed asked that question.

He was done tracing the stains on Aruna's body. That girl turned around and showed her back which was also full of blemishes.

"What about the one inside?". Hendra's eyes stared at an object more intoxicating than her lips.

That girl immediately covered herself. She objected more than she did earlier. "Let me do it by myself".

"I just want to see it. I've seen it before anyway".

"No. Let me do it".

"Come on.. I'm not going to mess with you. I just want to know how rude I was last night". The man grabbed her body and tried to open it. Aruna didn't want to lose, trying her best to defend herself.

"No, Hendra! I don't want to". That girl hoped Hendra wouldn't do it.

But men were still men. They were more powerful. The blue-eyed ignored that girl's way of trying to hold on to the cloth that wrapped her.

"I'm sorry, Aruna. I want to see it". When he looked at what was revealed, this man had already guessed that it was injured.

He closed his eyes for a moment and sighed.

_She didn't even complain a bit. How can I ignore her?_

Mahendra immediately made a call to housekeeping. Soon, that person came to bring the ordered medicines.

"We should've compressed it with ice cubes yesterday". The next move that the CEO of Wenceslas Group made was to take a cotton bud and clean her breasts that were injured by his teeth with isopropyl alcohol.

"Hendra, enough! I don't like it. Let me do it!". Aruna tried to dodge. She wasn't comfortable with what the blue-eyed was doing.

"No one has the right to help you other than your own husband. I want to say sorry but what's the point? I keep repeating my mistakes again and again. Be patient.. Let me finish it so I can calm down". He pleaded, grabbing Aruna's hand who was trying to protect hers.

"Tell me if you feel hurt". That man observed the content of the ointment in his hand before he said: "It's a type of gentamicin and betamethasone, not a dangerous ointment.. Use it regularly and make sure not to be exposed to water for at least 10-15 minutes".

That girl looked away as the blue-eyed man touched her sore breasts. She was seen grinning a few times and Hendra paused for a moment when that happened.

_If it's like this, what can I do?_ She muttered. She was carrying out a heavy mission for herself.

"I decided no matter how hard you reject me, you'll never be separated from me. You're still my wife and I'm still your husband. I know the man on the other end is just as crazy as I am. He must try to forget you. I don't care if he wants to kill himself. Because the same thing can happen to me if I lose my wife. Sorry, I'm selfish". Hendra reorganized Aruna's clothes.

"What happened between me and you has nothing to do with Damar at all". Aruna got up and took the clothes she had to wear. Even though she wanted to wear clothes that suited her taste, Hendra still prepared what he liked for Aruna.
