"Aarrrgghhh..." Aryan grunted loudly as his body shivered, still unaware that he hadn't slept alone last night.
"Come on, Aryan, it's morning already," Laura said while pulling the blanket covering Aryan's body. Laura chuckled when she saw Aryan's irritated face beneath his baby-faced appearance. Laura had gotten to know Aryan's character and habits a bit during the month before their wedding. Aryan and Laura had spent a lot of time together preparing for the wedding, thanks to Arabella and his mother-in-law's efforts to make them spend time together."Later, Ma," Aryan replied, still with his eyes closed. He reached for the blanket that had slipped off his body and covered himself with it. Laura furrowed her brow upon hearing Aryan's response."Aryan dear, I'm your wife, Laura, not Mama Liana," Laura whispered into Aryan's ear."Laura!" Aryan yelled, causing him to sit up abruptly. He rubbed his face and stared at Laura from head to toe, his hands folded over hiPrang... Prang... The noisy clatter echoed from the kitchen. Laura intentionally dropped the pot lid repeatedly to the floor, doing it on purpose to wake her boss up for the morning prayer. Laura grew increasingly frustrated when she saw that the kitchen wall clock already showed 5:17 AM, but Aryan was nowhere to be seen."This girl is really giving me a headache," Aryan grumbled, still curled up in bed with his face buried in a pillow. He tried to close his eyes again, but the noisy disturbance from the kitchen prevented him from doing so. Finally, with annoyance, Aryan got up to clean up in the bathroom.Klek... "Aryan..." Laura's words were cut off because it turned out Aryan was lying down. Laura smiled because suddenly an idea crossed her mind. It wouldn't hurt to play a little prank on her husband temporarily. She went back to the kitchen, carrying two pot lids in her hands."One, two, th—" Prang... The sound of the pot lids colliding created an incredibly
"Drink up, Laura,"Aryan said as he helped Laura sit up to drink the freshly brewed tea."I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't swim," Aryan continued, then placed the glass on the nightstand after Laura had taken a few sips. Suddenly, Laura pulled back the blanket covering her body. She felt something strange, looking at Aryan's face, which was also staring at her."Aaaaaa...!" Laura screamed when she realized her clothes had changed, and she instinctively covered her breasts with both hands, her eyes wide open."Shuuuutt, what's wrong with you, screaming like that? I was just helping you change your clothes. You weren't waking up, and I didn't want you to get sick. Otherwise, I'd be the one in trouble!" Aryan tried to calm Laura down."Bruk…" Laura kicked Aryan until he fell and bumped into the cabinet behind him."Come on, you were just looking for an opportunity!" Laura yelled, then quickly covered her body again with the blanket. She peeked insi
"Grip tight! I don't want to take responsibility if you fall later," Aryan yelled while opening the visor of his helmet."Yeah, you're so noisy," Laura replied with an annoyed expression. Earlier, Laura had tried to dress as attractively as possible to be Aryan's lady, wearing a hijab and a pale pink t-shirt, skinny jeans, and applying a thin nude lipstick on her sensual lips. She was surprised when Aryan brought his sports motorcycle keys. Laura didn't like riding sports motorcycles, not for any particular reason, but back in high school, she had asked Ricard, her classmate who owned a sports motorcycle, for the reason, and his answer had left Laura stunned. He had said it was enjoyable because there were plenty of girls interested in it without him having to chase after them.Thinking of Ricard reopened old wounds. Ricard was Noval's friend and her first love."Come on, we're newlyweds, so let's look affectionate," Aryan said, snapping Laura out of her thoughts. Lau
"Aryan, what does this mean? You transferred more than our agreement?" Laura displayed a bank statement showing a transfer of 20 million into her bank account."Just consider it a bonus for playing your role so well!" Aryan replied casually, then continued sipping his own coffee. He was annoyed because Laura had successfully played a prank on him yesterday."Why aren't you drinking the coffee I made for you?" Laura asked when she saw Aryan holding a cup of coffee, even though the coffee she made was still untouched on the dining table. Aryan just shrugged and was about to leave, leaving Laura by the poolside."Okay, I'm sorry for my mistake yesterday," Laura said, folding her hands in front of her chest and looking at Aryan earnestly. Once again, Aryan remained indifferent and walked away, making Laura feel embarrassed."I just want to receive the money according to our agreement, I'll transfer it back later," Laura continued, following Aryan as he headed
Aryan and Laura's relationship is getting closer and more intimate. During their one-week break, Laura regularly prepares meals for both of them, and they do many activities together, including cooking, shopping, and cleaning the house. Laura also takes on the responsibility of doing their laundry. Laura wonders why Aryan has always been doing household chores on his own during his time in the apartment.On one morning, while having breakfast dressed in his office attire, Aryan spoke up, "Laura, I'm going to the office today, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You don't have to wait for me if you want to have lunch. By the way, how's your college going? Do you want me to buy you a motorcycle?"Laura replied after taking a sip of her tea, "Hmm... Okay. I do have a class at 10. I'll just take the public transport since it's close, just 2 kilometers from here.""Are you sure you don't want a new motorcycle? We can give your old one to Nancy for school," Aryan sugg
"Laura, tomorrow morning I'm heading to Bali for a project. Are you okay staying alone in the apartment? If not, I can drop you off at your mom's place," Aryan said, breaking the silence without taking his eyes off the square screen in front of him, displaying people running and chasing after a ball. Laura had been sitting quietly for over an hour, just keeping Aryan company while he watched soccer, occasionally playing with her phone."Hey, are you even listening to me?" Aryan called out and pinched Laura's cute nose playfully."Mmm..." Laura mumbled half-heartedly, stealing a brief glance at Aryan. In truth, Laura didn't want Aryan to leave for Bali.Click... Aryan turned off the TV with the remote control and placed it on the table."Hey, what's wrong? Is it that time of the month? My friend told me girls get moody during PMS," Aryan said gently as he changed his position to face Laura. He observed Laura, who was still engrossed in her phone, with a sm
"Noval? What are you doing here?" Laura asked, still frozen in place. It had been a year since she tried to forget her ex-boyfriend, and now he was back without an invitation."It turns out I could only hold back my longing for you for a year," Noval said as he approached Laura, wearing his characteristic grin."I want to go home," Laura replied coldly, refusing to let her gaze linger on Noval."I just want to talk to you for a moment. I'll be the one to take you home afterward," Noval said, his smile slowly fading as he noticed Laura's less-than-enthusiastic response. Noval admitted that he had been wrong to unilaterally end their relationship."There's nothing we need to talk about. It all ended a year ago, and it was because you wanted it, right?" Laura replied, her tone icy. She didn't want to rekindle her romance with Noval, especially now that her status had changed. She wasn't alone anymore; she was temporarily a part of the Al-Farizi family.
With the sweetest smile on her face, Laura walked toward Aryan and the beautiful woman. She observed the woman carefully, who appeared perfect in her knee-length black dress that contrasted beautifully with her fair skin. Her long, curly brown hair cascaded elegantly, and her natural makeup enhanced her features. Her 7 cm high heels added a sensual touch to her slender figure.Aryan smiled as he saw Laura approaching, and he reached for her hand, guiding her towards where the woman was standing."Vika, let me introduce you to Laura, my wife.""Darling, meet Vika, my college friend." Aryan introduced them one after the other, and Laura offered a friendly handshake. "Did Aryan just call me 'darling'?" Laura's mind suddenly went into overdrive as she tried to process something, her gaze shifting between Aryan and Vika."Laura," Laura replied, momentarily breaking Vika's contemplation."Vika!" Vika responded to Laura's handshake, looking at the young wom
