Handsome CEO And Secret Wife
Trying to get started

 “Uhukk !”

“Gosh.. sorry.. sorry.” Arini was stunned when she saw Tian's face flushed red from choking, with a lightning-fast motion she got up from her seat, poured mineral water into the glass and thrust it towards Tian who immediately grabbed the glass and gulped it down to the toilet.

“M-Sorry..” reset Arini again really sorry. He returned to his seat with his head bowed.

“It's okay. This is the result because I ate it too excited.” Tian said that he was half-moved, trying to shift his sudden feeling like he was struck by a piece of Arini's sentence just now.

Arini looked at Tian again, making the gazes of the two of them locked onto each other. “A-Can I ask ?” finally he decided to brave himself to continue opposing Tian's dark bead of eyes.

“What's up?” tian's voice sounded soft, unlike the previous days of this day Arini was like looking at the other side of Tian, and it made him wonder in silence.

“K-Why all day you. You changed like a different person.” asked Arini carefully.

“Change ??” repeated Tian while frowning his brows, trying to understand what Arini really meant.

“You. Right now I even have to convince myself that most of the day you are the same person as the one who married me,” Arini must strengthen his heart when he has to say what is a big question in his mind all day.

Tian who had just finished his mouth with a piece of tissue paused for a moment, of course he perfectly understood the meaning of Arini's question. “If today my attitude changes, are you not happy with the change ?”

“T-No. I'm happy. but I. I just feel..” Arini stammered, unable to find the right sentence for her to say in order to represent her feelings now.

“Arini.“

Call Tian softly, making Arini seem unable to believe his own hearing.

“I'm just trying to make things simple, because between us something should have changed. If I insist, and you remain stubborn, I don't think it will take us anywhere, let alone to our original destination of marriage. Isn't that so ?”

Arini heard it.

‘Initial destination to get married ? what does that mean.. Tian was discussing about the heir of the Djenar family, as clearly stated in the initial agreement before their marriage ? so that's why Tian changed ? that's why this guy is trying so well on her.?’

“You once said that you want us to get to know each other first, right ? It’s okay. let's try.”.

Tian looked at Arini who was still bowed silently before him.

“Arini..” call Tian slowly, trying to get his wife's full attention.

“I. of course I want us to try to get to know each other. But as I said the other day, can.. can we start slowly ?”

Verily his heart still ached when he realized Tian's current goal. But Arini knew that he was in a position where he could not avoid it anymore, except to buy time.

Arini gulped her saliva as she looked at Tian who had yet to respond to her request. “I.. I'm sorry for my stubborn attitude all this time, but can I ask for a little chance ? please give me some time, because honestly I don't feel ready to.. ” Hanging. Arini could say nothing more. In the corner of his heart he happily accepted Tian's softening attitude towards him, but on the other hand he could not prevent if his heart was also injured at the same time.

Arini could not deny the feeling of indecision that was still lingering in the other room of her heart. Somehow his feelings of sadness have been mixed, even the feeling of fear mingled in it without Arini understanding what he is afraid of at this time..? did not from the beginning know this match he had prepared the heart from far away ?

Suddenly the shadow when Tian stole as well as the first kiss and second kiss earlier flashed. Arini understood that Tian was her husband who of course had full rights over her. He could not deny how happy and pounding he was to receive the treatment of the man, but still in the other corner of his heart he was still a woman who yearned to be loved, given affection, and still loved, and the desire to be owned and desired by her own husband. A sincere feeling, not just being an impingement of lust a moment ago.

Tian who was trying to digest what Arini meant finally chose to suppress his ego. His pride was stupefied when he realized that Arini was indirectly clearly implying a rejection, while Tian himself had put his pride at stake.

Is it because Arini does not have deep feelings for him yet..?

So at this time is he the only one who always feels the feeling of a somersault because every inch of his mind is always haunted by the shadow of his wife ?

Even Tian had to admit that gradually without him realizing the presence of Arini was even able to change his mindset, destroy his self-control, even control his mood.

Right now Tian even wanted to laugh at himself.

‘Hehh... for what sake ?’

Even this woman could easily just reject a Sebastian the Son of Djenar, who was clearly already

her husband. A Sebastian Son of Djenar who is valued by all women, and never rejected by any woman, except women without the advantages that exist in front of him.

There's no other way.. Tian has only one goal for an Arini Ramdhan, which is to be the victor over this woman. Because if not ? maybe he could go crazy like Rico !

“Alright, if that's what you want, I agree. It is appropriate that we know each other before I do. something more.” said Tian finally.

“M-Sorry..” bowed.

 “It's okay. I was too rash to explain anything before, so it's only natural that you might be surprised to even feel afraid of all my attitudes all day..” said Tian like being able to read what is struggling in the mind of Arini. “And forgive me for kissing you earlier, I promise from now on I will not act arbitrarily again. Is that enough as a guarantee ?”

Arini looked at Tian before finally cawing slowly. Tian's sincere smile was able to make Arini's heart feel a little relieved. At least he could return that smile with no weight even though he could not guess what kind of future picture he would go through with Tian later on.

“Alright, how about we start by making friends first ?” Tian asked glanced at Arini who was looking at him while nodding small.

“Is with friends, the agreement on the punishment is no longer valid ?” Ask Arini later.

Tian gnawed, as if wanting to remember something. “Punishment ?”

“Iya, punishment.that punishment..egh earlier.”.

Tian's eyes suddenly rounded as he understood the direction of Arini's conversation. “No, it's not included. Punishment is still punishment. Otherwise you will call me arbitrarily.” Tian said impassively.

‘Semena-pen ? jeez..when did I do that?’

“Where might I arbitrarily ?” arini Protest.

“I don't want to hear any more objections. You can only call me ‘Pak’ and speak formally only while you are at the office. Just try it if you dare to violate.!”

“But you just promised not to act arbitrarily, while the punishment you're talking about includes arbitrary actions.”

“Do you forget that at that punishment you should kiss me, and not me. So I didn't do anything you said at all. Understand ?” insisting.

Arini swallowed her saliva. Staring at Tian with a look of protest but the man turned back to glare at him.

“Iya alright. alright.. ” Finally. There was no other choice for Arini but to give up. The great lord before him turned out to never stop being a forced will.

‘Alright. so next I have to be more careful if I do not want to bear the shame of having to kiss this crafty man first.’

Arini was reminding herself in the heart.

A moment later they were silent, busy with their own thoughts.

“You haven't packed for departure tomorrow morning right. Want me to help ?” Arini opened her voice after a few minutes between them, only to be overcome by silence.

“Bby,”

“Good. Then I'll sort this out first, “ Arini smiled as he got up from his seat. Clean up the dining table they just used to eat and bring dirty tableware to the dishwasher.

“This is what I helped you with.”

“No.. Let me just, a moment also be sorted out,”

And finally Tian really only became a spectator of Arini's nimble movement who was so skilled at cleaning the dining table and kitchen.

The sight was so soothing to Tian that it seemed as if it had just come to a realization that just staring at a wife in the kitchen who was washing dishes and cleaning up some small mess in the kitchen could make the recesses of his heart feel a foreign happiness he had never felt before.
