The man smiled thoughtfully looking at his wife funny behavior, "Is it still in pain?"
"I am not sure" She whispered. It was her honest response from a woman who just experienced the whole thing for the first time. She still did not understand this condition.
"Wait a moment" Hendra said as he walked to the door. The girl was standing awkwardly at the corner with the blanket still wrapped her body.
"I can do by myself, errr…" Aruna felt unsure and doubtful. She still held the blanket tightly around her body. After what happened last night, it did not make her automatically relaxed to face him.
"Wait…. I just want to pick up the chair," Hendra walked faster. "So that you can sit down comfortably." Opened the door and closed it fast. No on e knew that he stood behind the door uneasily, rubbing his chest several times, then walked around the room to find what he looked for.
"Ughhh…why is it like this?"He murmured to himself. Last night things went on naturally as his instinct guided him because he was so much longing for her and impatience. He was so much carried away with all his emotions.
Unfortunately, this second his instinct worked differently, giving him conscience when he wanted to bathe her.
Wait! He ever did it sometime ago but why he behaved like a fool? His heart bit faster again and again like it did last night.
He grabbed that chair, stopped for a minute to smile widely, he was so grateful that the woman who used to give herself with compulsion, but it was all his now, every inch of her skin was his.
"Hendra, I.." a scream came from inside there, "I decided to take a bath by myself!". That scream was soon followed by request that was impossible for him to adhere.
"Oh?!" Mahendra was startled, then hurriedly managed to compose his expression. "No..no..no.." He replied it by shaking his head showing disagreement. The next second, the door was opened, presenting different expression of the man with blue eyes. He was obviously trying hard to look calm.
"Sit down please!" He commanded, "And if you are embarrassed, turn around, don't face me."
And the daughter of Lesmana gave the grandson or Mr. Wirya her back. Even when she tried to reach the chair, she did it in a funny way.
While dropping the blanket covering her body, she moved to the right side every step without turning her body.
This of course invited laughter of the man behind her. He laughed out loud. "Are you still ashamed of me after all we have done so far?" She simply nodded in answer.
"We did it once, did we?"
"At that time I was still with my panties. You could not forget it, couldn't you?"
"We simply need to get used to it each other, right? You said we would try it again next time."
"But….not..errr…" She hesitated to say what she had in her mind.
"Now??" He continued his wife unfinished words. Aruna nodded once more.
"Of course not. I won't have a heart to do that". The man reached his wife's long hair and let it loose. As he held the hair of the woman he loved, water started dripping from the shower to her hair until it soaked wet, so as to her body.
"I love to see your hair loose and cover your neck. Can I see you without having it tied in pony tail?" Aruna looked up and she pouted her lips. She did not like to be criticized the way she treated her hair. She liked to have her hair tied that way because it was simple for her energetic life style daily.
"I don't like it you expose your neck," he continued while wetting it and applied some shampoo. "Not because I look more beautiful with my hair loose free?"
"No," He replied firmly. His hands rubbed his wife's hair and made foam out of shampoo he poured, and massaged her head on and off.
"Why so?"
"Because your neck is my favorite spot,"
She froze. That light reply affected her much. He was not a seductive type but his simple expression and too straight forward could make anyone's heart melt somehow.
Aruna felt as if she had no option at all when her husband bathed her completely. That blue eyed man rubbed her back, her arms, even the front part leaving no inches unexplored. Drips of water and the touches from him were competing to stroke her thin skin.
"Anytime we are together, I want my hand get the privilege to clean you,"
Aruna stayed mute. She did not need to ask the same question 'why' because she knew Hendra's answers would make her defense fell apart and melted.
"For your information, every inch of your skin is mine," This sounded too possessive and arrogant, but she preferred to stay silent. Listening to Hendra's talking turned to be her new hobby now and she enjoyed it. "So, bathing you is just like keeping the best and mosr precious part of me."
Her cheeks went blushing. It was worsen when those hands were touching some sensitive parts of her. Although it was unintentional touches, still she could not help having her face red and blushed. It was unavoidable.
He was serious, focusing on cleaning her body and finishing it when his little angel smelled good, and covering her body with a bath robe.
Aruna thought that he would finish spoiling her with all sweetness possible when they were leaving the bathroom.
But, that blue eyed man did not stop right there. He lifted her body and took her to their room, and sat her right on the dressing table. The next second, he dried up her hair with a hair drier. The warmth of the air blown from that machine to her hair warmed her body as well.
Hendra really treated his woman like a queen. After combing her hair neat, he kissed her on top of her head. "Now it's all done. My wife can sleep well now".
"Wait a second. Aren't you hungry?"He asked.
Yes, indeed she was hungry. It was a long night and taking a bath in the early morning made her tummy scream for food.
"Too bad this mansion is seldom used. There are no supplies in the pantry," Hendra looked the clock. "The mall down there may be closed at these hours. I will try to get something for your stomach. Are you okay to be left alone here?"
"No, I don't want it"Aruna shook her head fast.
"Then? What should we do?"
"We are back to sleep again. We think about it tomorrow." She gave an offer.
"Are you okay to remain hungry the whole night?"
"Sure I can….you are by my side anyway," She spoke sweetly to that man. Her cheeks blushed once again when she was shy.
Aruna lay in his arms, and Mahendra was still awake by her side.
That blue eyed said, "Thank you very much for giving yourself completely to me. I do hope you go home and stay with me."
"That main house is still a trauma for me," Aruna replied. She could not rest her eyes as well. "Can't we just stay here?"
Hendra did not reply right away. There was a silence. "But we have to go to that main house, sooner or later,"
Aruna smiled listening his reply. She turned around to face him and hugged him tightly. "It means we can stay here for some time,"
"On one condition," Hendra spoke and stared at her as if to send a message, an important message, "No one must know you are here with me. I will try to come here every night to accompany you until the morning comes. You get it?"
"Why??"Asked Aruna.
"No more why," This time it was Hendra.
"For a woman who gives herself completely to you," Aruna repeated that man words and used the same intonation as his.
_because Mahendra's woman will always be in danger_ Aruna answered her own question by heart. She was informed this by Rey.
"I will be fine. Don't look at me like that! Your worrying face scares me more!" She turned to face away from him and hugged her bolster instead. The next second, her husband hugged her tight.
