Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 172

"So actually, there are two things that make us interested. Even you guys who are at home will definitely be interested. The first is the groom who'd gone viral because of the betting case of several actresses. Because, geez, he's just really handsome. You know what kind of public figures that we like, right? Hehe. Rich!". Ayu was talking nonsense.
"This is what we're waiting for. Prepare your hearts because what we'll discuss today is.. Byan, how is this? My mouth can't even call our guest stars today". Ayu joked, opening the talk show session.
"You're exaggerating, Yu. But anyway, you're telling the truth. Indeed, our guests are very special. Who else, if not the new couple who were being chased by the media crew yesterday?". Biyan replied.
"So actually, there are two things that make us interested. Even you guys who are at home will definitely be interested. The first is the groom who'd gone viral because of the betting case of several actresses. Because, geez, he's just really handsome. You know what kind of public figures that we like, right? Hehe. Rich!". Ayu was talking nonsense.
"You make us not focus, Yu. I swear!". Biyan said.
"I'm not done talking yet. Don't disturb me! And second. It turned out that before this case was actually over, the CEO of the Wenceslas Group or Djoyo Makmur Group, surprisingly married an ordinary girl. A sophomore majoring in design. Which makes us desperately curious, because the wedding was also so extraordinary called Blue Oceans. See. You guys are already starting to realize who's going to be here. You can't believe it, right?? I can hardly believe it too!! When it's confirmed that our guests are willing to come today..". Ayu exclaimed excitedly like a professional host of the show.
"And to make matters worse, that marriage was hidden from the media. Including his wife, who was said to be the luckiest woman in this year, was also hidden from the media. And today.. WOW WOW". Biyan was hysterical. His expression was so eye-catching.
"Both of them came to For You talkshow, special for all of you who are at home and in the studio. Let's welcome CEO Mahendra Wenceslas and his cute wife, Mrs. Aruna. Please..". Biyan's voice brought the footsteps of the married couple to the stage. Hendra was seen holding Aruna's back. Aruna's footsteps needed to be guarded so they didn't fall. She was wearing slightly taller shoes today. She still looked tiny.

Hendra seemed to stop for a moment and smiled at the camera. He helped Aruna to do the same. A little clumsy but Aruna tried to follow the blue-eyed's direction.
After shaking hands and sitting on the sofa, this girl became even more tense.
"See.. See.. He's so handsome". Ayu joked.
"Yu! He's someone's husband. Remember". Biyan said.
"How does it feel to have a handsome husband? Aa.. He's looking at me, Biyan". Ayu joked.
Hahaha. They laughed together.
"Let's ask a standard question first..". Biyan tried to go back to the original topic.
"Hi, Hendra. Could you introduce the cute wife beside you? Reportedly, who's very difficult to be searched by reporters. It doesn't seem like she does a lot of outdoor activities, huh??". Biyan asked.
Before answering, the Wenceslas Group CEO sat up with attentive eyes and gave a warm smile.
"Honey.. Let's greet the viewers at home first?". Mahendra asked Aruna to wave at the camera.
"As you mentioned earlier, my wife's name is Aruna. A second year student, right?". Hendra was indeed smart. He stole the attention of many people, including showing a warm impression regarding his marriage.
Aruna nodded as she took Hendra's hand, a sign that she was really nervous. Nervous because she'd be widely known as part of the Wenceslas family. More precisely, the wife of Wenceslas's sole heir. A status that she didn't want from the start.
"Indeed, my wife is currently on leave from her college. She's a little traumatized when she was chased by the media crew to the campus lobby. Maybe someone still remembers I made a statement in front of the Tri Pusaka campus because of my wife. Oh, at that time she wasn't my wife yet. So, she was urged to make a statement regarding the viral photos of us that were accidentally spread widely". Mahendra reminded the public how Aruna was once 'held hostage' on the second floor because she was being hunted by journalists. Actually, that incident was done by Hendra, by asking Pradita to distribute photos of himself with Aruna to clear his name.
"Ah, right.. I remember very well. Actually, at that time you were being rumored to be close to Tania, right?". Ayu confirmed.
"We miss Tania.. Since the rumor of spending the night with you at the hotel, Tania is like being swallowed by the earth.. Even all her advertisements and drama series contracts were suddenly terminated.. Perhaps you know about Tania?". Biyan said.

Hendra just smiled. This was why he really didn't like attending TV station exclusive interviews. Because this was a live event, Hendra had to respond.
"Honestly, like my statement from the start, we both have been friends since high school. It can be confirmed to some of our high school friends. The rumors saying I brought her because she won a bet or we spent the night together at my hotel and so on, all of them were a big mistake because I brought Tania home that night. Previously, we'd stopped at the Wenceslas Ritz hotel because I had things to do at that time. I'm sorry I spoke at length because I hope that my good name, including my best friend Tania, is completely cleared".
Mahendra covered the anger in his heart. Other people wouldn't be able to see it because that face was still bright and full of smiles. Except for the tiny girl beside him who began to understand that there was something different about Hendra's face.
"How about the communication with Tania? Is it still good or…?". Biyan hadn't finished talking yet.
"I also lost contact with Tania since that incident. It's too bad how a rumor can destroy our friendship". Hendra hastily interrupted Biyan's question.
_Ah, right.. I forgot about Tania. Where is that old man hiding her?_ The latest info about Tania that Hendra received was that she and her manager were under Wiryo's supervision.
_Oh my God.. How could I forget about something important?_
"Okay. Alright. Let's go back to the main topic, okay? Hopefully, in the future we can see Tania again in the drama series. Hi, Tania.. We miss you.. Your rumors are cleared now. Come back. Work again. Love you, babe". Ayu said. She was part of Tania's friends.
"For Mrs. Aruna. How does it feel to be the wife of CEO Mahendra? With his handsome face and reportedly, also the main heir of the Wenceslas Makmur Group. Is that true?". Ayu asked Aruna a question.
"Hmm…". This girl looked at Hendra. Hendra rubbed Aruna's arm as if he meant 'it's okay, just answer it'.
"Hehe.. So-so". That girl's answer brought laughter to the people around her. They couldn't understand how she could make such a simple answer to a long and emotional question. Naturally, in general, women would answer while showing off how amazing she could have a husband who was being loved by many people. He even became the target of Indonesian actresses.
"Please. Is there another answer?". Ayu urged.
"Hm.. Sometimes, I'm also happy". Aruna added.
"Hehe.. You seem like a funny girl, right?". Biyan guessed.
"Not funny, but adorable". Hendra added sweet words. He knew Aruna was nervous.
"I can't accept if the answer is just like that". Ayu whined.
"What about Hendra? How does it feel to have a wife who's seven years apart? Is that right? And still a college student". Biyan chattered.
"More precisely, it's almost eight years apart between me and my wife. She just had her 20th birthday while I'm gonna be 28 soon". Hendra answered.
"Then, how do you feel? Don't answer 'so-so' or 'sometimes, I'm also happy'. Haha". This male host gave Hendra an ultimatum while remembering Aruna's answers earlier.
Hendra laughed before answering: "My life is more colourful. To be honest, even though she's much younger than me, I learned a lot from my wife. We have slightly opposite characters. I find it a bit difficult to socialize because of my busy schedules. Meanwhile, my wife, from the first time we met, I knew she's a warm and cheerful girl. It makes me want to be home soon".
"Uh.. So sweet…". Ayu also blushed.
"Then.. Is there anything else?'. Ayu asked.
"What else?". Hendra was also confused.
"I'm definitely happier now than when I was alone. So, those who are still single, get married quickly. Hehehe". Hendra's answer ended with a chuckle. His dimples were seen on camera. He looked much different from his aura that seemed cold. Now, he looked like a warm man.
"Hendra is making fun of us". Biyan said.
"Just you, not me. I've been married even though I'm a widow now. Hahaha". Ayu joked.
"Please, God. Leave one more guy like Hendra. I'll marry him immediately". Ayu exclaimed, making the whole studio laugh.
"Okay. Don't go anywhere. After this, we'll come back. For You, special for you". Biyan closed.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
