Chapter 56

Samuel kept staring at Ariana's face with all the admiration in her eyes. For some reason, in his mind, he felt willing to just spend a lot of time this morning just to stare at the beautiful face of his wife who was still fast asleep in his arms.

Slowly, full of tenderness, Samuel took her hand. Caressing and then caressing Ariana's beautiful face until she heard a small moan from her lips. He repeatedly brought his fingers to gently rub her hair up to his wife's cheeks which made Ariana look more comfortable and restful.

Ariana seemed to be fast asleep. Maybe because he was really sleepy or it could also be because he was tired after making out with her intimately. When he remembered the events that he and his wife had missed last night, a smile returned to Samuel's face. How they make love each other with passion. Reflecting on the longing that had been restrained the past few days.

Samuel doesn't overdo it. It can be said that at this time he might be so infatuated with his wife. He himself never thought that in the end he could fall in love so much. Even so afraid of losing Ariana's figure that has filled her days.

After what happened to him and Ariana, he was determined never to let his wife leave his side again. Swear in my heart to guard and protect wholeheartedly. Without letting others disturb their peace.

Seeing Ariana who was still fast asleep, Samuel lowered her face full of exasperation. Bringing his lips, then kissing his wife's forehead and then both cheeks alternately.

Sensing something bothering her, Ariana finally woke up. Slowly opening her eyes, the woman then smiled.

"Dear."

A hoarse voice characteristic of waking up could be heard playing from Ariana's ripe lips. Blinking her eyes, the woman then returned to tightly hugging Samuel's body.

"Good morning, Esmeralda. Are you still sleepy?" whispered Samuel while stroking Ariana's cheek.

In Samuel's arms, Ariana nodded. Pulling her face slightly, the woman looked up.

"Actually it's not sleepy that I'm feeling right now," said the woman.

Samuel's brow furrowed in reflex.

"Then, if you're not sleepy, what do you feel?"

"Cape," Ariana muttered. "This is how it really feels when you feel homesick."

Samuel immediately burst out laughing at Ariana's confession. Judging from his expression, his wife was really exhausted.

"Don't worry, I'm already tired. In fact, all day I just want to take you under the covers."

"Oh my God Samuel. I'll go crazy if I stay in the blankets all day."

"Why are you crazy? No, please. In fact, you'll be happier."

"What's fun. Even this one still feels tired."

Samuel just smiled. Unexpectedly, the man's fingers slowly moved. What used to be caressing the cheek, is now slowly dropping. Swept every inch of Ariana's body that was still open and then stopped. Accidentally landed on Ariana's thigh.

Samuel's hand kept stroking inside. Aimed, then stopped at Ariana's sensitive area. As if he knew which place could make his wife go back.

"Samuel," Ariana muttered nervously when the man's fingers returned to caressing, deliberately stroking there in an up and down motion. Instantly, Ariana's hair bristled at the sensation it caused.

"Are you sure you don't want any more?" asked Samuel, winking playfully.

While his fingers still feel at home under there. Slow moving. Then it didn't take long to move faster. Making Ariana involuntarily groan.

"Samuel, don't play games," Ariana squeaked. The woman's eyes were only able to close feeling the tingling sensation mixed with the pleasure that Samuel gave her.

Samuel smiled. Switching positions, the man bent Ariana's legs before finally positioning himself right in the middle. Grinning meaningfully, calculatingly the man returned to Ariana's core. Move slowly with a slow rhythm at first. Then over time it changes faster, deeper. Until sigh after sigh came back from Ariana's lips.

Until finally the feeling they had been chasing was conveyed. Soar high. Making them both fly again.

"Samuel, you are absolutely nuts!" whispered Ariana, then hugged her husband who was lying limp on top of her.

***

Today, because it coincided with a holiday, Samuel took Ariana for a walk. The plan is that later that night Darwin and Celina will return to Ariana's residence to enjoy dinner together.

For this reason, when she left the house and finished walking for a while, Ariana immediately dragged Samuel to stop for a while at a shopping center. He deliberately wanted to buy some food ingredients to be cooked and eaten at dinner later.

"What do you want to cook, dear?" asked Samuel while pushing the trolley, when the two of them were already in one of the supermarkets.

Ariana glanced around the glass window in front of her. Squint. Examining the ingredients one by one to be able to process it tonight.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Instead of answering, Ariana even asked back. Samuel likes to get dizzy when asked what kind of food menu she wants to eat.

"Why ask me? What do you want? If I just join. Because I'm sure everything you cook will be delicious."

Ariana nodded. The woman stepped forward toward the refrigerator which contained a collection of meat, chicken, and various kinds of fish. See one by one, then make a choice.

"What if you just cook beef black pepper? I really want to cook Indonesian food. However, there are no basic ingredients and seasonings," the woman complained.

"Okay, as comfortable as you are, honey. I'll definitely eat all your cooking, really."

she smiled. Then start putting some packs of beef into the trolley. Don't forget to also buy vegetables like carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, and of course peppers.

All the ingredients and needs of the woman bought. Don't forget to include various kinds of fruit. In fact, the refrigerator in the house where he lives is now completely available without the slightest lack. But, basically women do like that, right? Sometimes buying something that is not important. And instead buy things that are clearly still in stock at home.

"Have you shopped?" asked Samuel when she saw Ariana already walking towards her.

"Looks like everything is complete."

"Where else are you going?"

"Just go home, how?"

"Don't!" Samuel replied quickly. "I want to take you to eat ice cream for a while in front of there."

Ariana just complied when Samuel asked her to eat ice cream for a while before deciding to go back home. They ordered two vanilla choco ice cream and enjoyed it together.

"You're just like a kid, just eat all the ice cream."

"It's not just little kids who like ice cream, Ariana. Besides, ice cream can reduce stress levels in the body," said Samuel while continuing to spoon ice cream into her mouth.

"Oh yes?"

Samuel nodded.

"Seriously. If you're sad. You have a lot on your mind or are stressed, just try eating ice cream. Soon your body will feel relaxed."

Ariana blinked. Then it didn't take long to react. The woman then cast a suspicious glance at her husband.

"Here, you suddenly asked me to eat ice cream not because you were stressed, right?"

A chuckle escaped Samuel's lips. He could see the worried look on his wife's face.

"No, honey. I'm not stressed anymore."

"So? Why are you suddenly asking me to eat ice cream?"

"Yes, because I just want to. It's been a long time since I've eaten."

"Certain?" Ariana's eyes narrowed again. Ensure clearly that the husband is telling the truth to him.

"For God's sake, I'm not lying. I just want this again."

"Thank goodness. If so, finish it quickly. When I get home, you must help me cook."

So when he got home, both of them immediately struggled in the kitchen. Even though Rachel had already offered to let Ariana use the services of an existing Chef.

However, Arabella's son-in-law immediately balked. She argued that she wanted to express and channel her hobby by cooking with her own hands and assisted by her husband.

Shoulder to shoulder both help each other. Samuel seemed to really enjoy her role in cutting the ingredients one by one. Start with meat, some vegetables, and basic spices.

Meanwhile, Ariana had the role of processing, then roasting the ingredients that Samuel had provided one by one. So that afternoon the two of them cooked four meals. From beef black pepper, tom yum, butter fried squid, and tofu sapo.

After serving, the two quickly cleaned themselves up. Exactly 30 minutes later Darwin and Celina heard that they had arrived at their residence.

"We're both not late, right?" asked Darwin as soon as he entered the house.

"No, don't worry," Samuel said. Then directed the two cousins to immediately go to the dining room. "We immediately gathered at the dining table. I'm really hungry because of that."

Darwin nodded in agreement. Then pulled Celina to follow behind him.

"What did you bring, Win?" asked Ariana when she had just arrived in the dining room and had just sat her body on a chair.

"Oh, this?" pointed Darwin. "Ordinary. This is soju. How good is it if you eat like this and don't drink soju."

Ariana chuckled. He remembered the incident the other day. Cara drank several glasses until he was drunk, then humiliated himself by rambling incoherently in front of Samuel.

"Ihh, why are you carrying soju all the time," he protested.

"What's wrong? It's delicious. It's proof that you like it too, right?"

"I like it. But now I don't want to drink anymore."

Darwin's eyebrows knit together. Of course he was curious about the reasons behind his cousin-in-law's refusal to drink.

"Why? Are you afraid of getting drunk?"

Ariana shook her head.

"Pregnant women can't drink alcohol, right?"

Samuel choked on her drink. Turning around, he shot her a questioning glance.

"Y-you're pregnant?" asked the narrow-eyed man with awe.

"No, really," Ariana replied with a grin. In fact, Samuel's heart was already rising and falling when she heard what Ariana said. "Yes, I want to get pregnant soon. So, from now on, I'm not allowed to eat and drink carelessly."

Samuel nodded in agreement. Taking his hand, the man then removed the soju bottle from Ariana's presence.

"Samuel, how come the soju was moved?" protested Darwin.

"You just drink it alone. Don't come here. Later Ariana will even want it. You can hear it yourself. She is taking care of eating and drinking during the pregnancy program this time."

Darwin sighed lazily. But, instead of protesting again, he finally agreed to what Samuel said. Because they didn't want to waste time, which was already getting late, the four of them immediately ate their dishes while telling stories to each other. Discuss all the topics they can raise at the dinner table.

"So, have you fixed your return to Indonesia?"

Samuel opened the conversation. Darwin this time he made material for discussion. Previously, Samuel knew that Darwin had indeed been assigned to Korea to take care of a subsidiary that had just started to climb up.

"Yes, I will return to Indonesia next week. So, the rest of Celina will be staying here."

"You're not afraid that if you return to Indonesia, you'll even have an arranged marriage?"

Darwin shook his head. He knows about the consequences of this one. But, because there was another reason that made him want to go home soon, Darwin ignored that one rumor.

"Ah, it's impossible for me to get married. Just so you know, all this time I've even had a boyfriend," said the man proudly.

"Seriously?"

Darwin nodded.

"1000 russ. In fact, while living temporarily in Korea, we tried to maintain a relationship by undergoing LDR. And until now, our relationship is fine."

"Where's your boyfriend, anyway? I think I know him, don't you?"

"I don't know whether you know him or not. What's certain is that he's actually an old friend of mine. We've been dating for two years. It's nice if Papa or Mama ask to break up and then set me up with another woman."

Basically, everyone doesn't like matchmaking. However, most wealthy tycoon families deliberately match their sons and daughters to fellow business partners to expand their business network.

About love and feelings, it can only grow over time. Most importantly the business remains smooth and safe.

"What about you alone?" Darwin asked back. "Are you sure you want to stay here longer?"

Samuel immediately turned to Ariana. Personally, he has no problem wanting to linger in Korea. After all, currently free from work.

"I'm up to Ariana. If you want to stay here for a long time, that's okay. If you want to go home early, that's okay. But, I can't guarantee it won't take too long. I heard people complaining that they miss Indonesian food last night."

Darwin and Celina both laughed. The two of them had even felt what Ariana was complaining about at this time.

"It's the most delicious in Indonesia," said Celina. "It's really hard to adjust the food here. I used to cry for days because I didn't feel comfortable."

"Now!" Ariana exclaimed. "This is what I've been feeling since yesterday. I don't really feel comfortable anyway. Where is it that Samuel isn't there?

"Why is it Darwin?" asked Samuel probingly. "What did he do to you when you were sad?"

"I love you, man," Darwin chirped innocently. It's a pleasure to piss off Samuel.

"You don't need to mess around. If I want, you can't go back to Indonesia."

"Don't be, Ken." Darwin immediately answered quickly. The mischievous expression he had previously shown was now panicked. "Just kidding, time. Besides, you should thank me. As long as you weren't around, I was the one who brought Ariana food every day. Those who accompanied her talked all kinds of things."

Samuel then turned around. Staring intently at Ariana.

"Is that true?"

Ariana nodded.

"If Darwin didn't come, maybe I really went crazy yesterday."

"Because of that, because Darwin is already good, I will recommend Uncle Purnomo to marry him to his girlfriend."

Darwin smiled broadly. He liked Samuel's words on this one.

"Well, for this one I agree and support 100%. If necessary, you seduce my papa so he agrees to move me forever in Indonesia."

"How much are you willing to pay if I succeed in seducing uncle Purnomo?"

"Because you're already rich, I'll just pay with prayer. Hopefully in the near future you and Ariana will have a baby soon."

Samuel smiled broadly. In my heart, I also believe in the prayer that Darwin said just now.
