The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 177

"Hendra has already left, huh?". The girl who just woke up from her sleep sneaked into the bathroom to clean herself. When she came out, her cellphone rang. A bodyguard was waiting for her outside the door.
"Is there anything that can make me look like a girl?". She only found a comb.
Aruna tried to open a few more drawers, hoping to find something. At least powder or lip tint. A simple make up for girls was enough. She was only combing her hair on the stretched mirror in the bathroom. Unfortunately, all the products around the mirror were products for the blue-eyed man.
"Isn't this…?". That girl was shocked. She immediately took the red box tucked inside the nightstand, near the gray super king size bed.
She found a reddish pomegranate pendant, complete with a chain necklace. This girl hurriedly grabbed that box and ran back to the bathroom, looking at herself in the wide mirror. She opened the pomegranate necklace that someone had given her as fast as she could.
Aruna put it on.
_Pretty_
~Don't forget your color. The color that always warms up every time you step into the world at that time.
~Don't wander too far. I'm afraid you're getting cold. Go back to where you came from. I'll teach you how to find the old you I used to see, laughing every time.
Happy birthday Aruna
From thebestfortress
This woman touched the necklace on her neck.
"Hehe. Cheerful Aruna". That girl laughed at herself while touching her face in the mirror.
She grabbed the comb and styled herself like her old self, a ponytail girl. She looked for clothes that were prepared by her husband's maid. It was predictable that there was only a midi dress in front of her.
_Midi dress with loose hair. Damn, who are you?_
That girl was forced to wear it. She went out to find the bodyguard who was waiting for her outside.
Turns out it was Juan.
"Where's my husband?". Her question was answered with a shrug as a sign that he didn't know.
"Let me ask his secretary". Juan composed a message.
"I want to go shopping but I don't have money. Could you lend me money?". Aruna asked.
"Alright".
.
.
It turned out that the young lady asked her bodyguard to accompany her to the shopping center. She ran towards the clothing display. She chose some jeans, t-shirts, and outerwear.

She stared at herself in amazement as those clothes brought back her old self.
"Hi, Aruna.. Long time no see. How are you? Let's go home one day". That girl was talking to herself in the dressing room mirror.
Hair tied up, jeans, a white t-shirt, and an outer. It made someone dumbfounded.
"Why are you wearing clothes like that?". Juan, her bodyguard, was stunned.
"Hehe. This is the real me. The lady you met yesterday, I didn't recognize her either". The lady replied with unique sentences.
"Alright. Because I'm hungry, I'll also borrow your money to eat". She asked again.
"May I comment?". Juan said. Aruna smiled brightly.
"You're really different with this style. I forget that you're Miss Aruna". Juan explained.
"I'm not Miss Aruna. Call me Aruna. Don't say Miss Aruna, I don't like it".
.
.
"The day after tomorrow I'll go on a honeymoon with my wife. It seems I can't lead this investigation. I'll leave everything to you guys. I'm sure you can do your best". Hendra gave encouragement to the leaders of the D floor. The first thing they had to look for was the motives of the Tarantula Group.
The traitor council left with the best deal. They brought Wenceslas oil company, a mining company owned by Wenceslas Group, which Wiryo gave up to stop the endless disputes.
A company with a bright future. Now, that company was able to monopolize many things, especially in the mining and processing sector of petroleum resources.
Were they too greedy? Was there a grudge in the past that hadn't been completed? The grudge was still burning to this day until they kept threatening the heir of the Wenceslas family.
"Riswan. Once again, thank you very much. Because of your help, we were able to solve the puzzle that had been wrapped around the Wenceslas Makmur Group. They attacked us so neatly, but apparently they forgot the simplest thing. Like the cheque they handed over. Ah. Such a simple thing can make us discover something big", Hendra said special words for the Mayor.
_Isn't this similar to me? A simple tiny girl who can divert many things_ In a serious discussion, suddenly Hendra smiled to himself.
"It's time for this meeting to end".
_Aruna must've been waiting for me. I miss her so much_
.
.
"Miss, why do we have to eat in a strange place like this?". Juan protested. He didn't like Aruna's choice of food.

"Just eat it. It's delicious… You look like someone who's fussy about food". Juan made Aruna not in the mood to eat. Aruna didn't allow Juan to protest.
"Look at yourself. If you wear clothes like this and eat at a place like this, people won't realize that you're the wife of the Wenceslas family". Juan voiced his point of view.
"Really?? That's what I want. Just so you know, this is the real me". Aruna looked relaxed and enjoyed herself. She even ate in her way. The way she ate as she was which she slowly abandoned.
"One more time. Don't call me Miss Aruna. Just call me Aruna". This girl said what she wanted.
"When other people see us like this, we're like two people who are friends or lovers. It's interesting to be your bodyguard". Juan joked.
"Whatever". Aruna continued to eat.
.
"Juan, can we go further?". Aruna asked.
"We shouldn't, but I'm a bodyguard and I'll do what you want".
"Hehe. You're smart! I like it".
"I have a Bachelor degree and you say I'm smart just because I want to obey a girl like you. Huh, my intelligence level is so low". Juan complained while taking out his wallet and giving some money to Aruna.
"Wow.. You have a platinum card?! Can I borrow that too?". Aruna interrupted. Her eyes sparkle at the platinum card tucked in Juan's wallet.
"How does your husband treat you? Do you get no benefits at all or don't get money? So it's true that you're held hostage and don't get a penny?".
"Don't speak too much. I'll borrow it!".
.
.
"Hey hey.. Miss, you're going to buy this much food? Are you sure you can eat everything?". Juan gaped at what Aruna did. So many snacks, several packages of junk food, soft drinks, and the last one was ice cream.
"I want to greet my greedy friends. Take me there… But by the way, Hendra hasn't finished, right?!" That girl asked, between excited and a little afraid of the risks that would occur.
"Surya said your husband's meeting is quite a while". Juan replied.
"Alright. Take me to the Magic Letter". Aruna shouted excitedly.
"What is it? Is it some kind of fantasy or imaginary place?".
"Just come. Don't ask too many questions".
.
.
The ponytail girl in her own style was so excited. The rusty outlet entrance that she missed. She even opened the door twice. The sound from this outlet door was indeed special. The alarm that was made by Agus greeted her twice.
She didn't go upstairs immediately. She took two trinkets and opened them. The bracelet she wore on her left hand was double layered. She was completing herself, completing the old Aruna.
Juan carried her stuff. He pushed open the door and was surprised by the greeting that came from the shop door. Unique goods shop. That's what Juan had in mind.
_Huh. Why am I even amazed like this?_ Aruna muttered to herself.
"Why are you teary eyed, miss?". This bodyguard had been confused since earlier.
"Hehe. I'm very happy. Hey.. I told you not to call me that!". She ordered.
"If you don't want to be called that, help me carry your stuff".
"I'm sorry. I'm so happy until I forgot to help you". Aruna took the stuff from Juan's hands, while Juan returned to the car to bring the others.
"Hi… I'm coming..". That girl greeted her friends on the second floor.
"Stop your work! Let's have a party today..". She exclaimed as she put her stuff away.
"Arunaaa… Aaaa.. Miss you..". Dea, Lili, and Laras immediately rushed to hug her.
Meanwhile, Agus and Tito grabbed her stuff.
"Clean up! Get rid of your work. Let's eat first, guys". Aruna said excitedly.
"Wait! Why am I feeling deja vu, huh? Haha..". Agus made a light joke.
"Yes. Last week, we also met and ate together. But I feel like you've been missing for months and only saw you now". Lili expressed how she felt.
"It's not just you.. I feel like I'm losing myself. How am I today? So Aruna, right?". That cheerful girl questioned herself.
"Don't talk too much. Let's eat first". Agus said.
"Wow.. That's so you, guys". It was indeed the Magic Letter team's habit.
As expected, they were very noisy. Chatting here and there while quickly finishing their food. Aruna was seen laughing cheerfully with her friends.
