The Touch of Love Aura

Chapter 40 - Becoming a real couple of lovers

Today is the last day Rendra and Aura become pretend lovers. For that Rendra really took advantage of his time for a day with Aura without doing any work. They both walked from one place to another.

Rendra took Aura to the playground. Ansel said the woman liked the atmosphere of the playground. Can ride many rides. And sure enough, Aura seemed to enjoy the rides that they were riding both of which was a rollercoaster. Sometimes Aura cheered cheerfully as the rollercoaster began to descend from its highest peak. Sometimes his eyes are closed for a little fear of looking down when his rollercoaster is uphill. The expression on Aura's face when it really made Rendra dazzled and smiled silently. You can even remember the last time he played this happy. Maybe when he was a kid.

After that, Rendra bought her a strawberry-flavored ice cream for Aura and a vanilla flavor for her. They walked while eating the ice cream. Unintentionally, there were people who passed by in a hurry to make ice cream that Aura ate hit her cheek and the ice she held fell.

Rendra who saw that, immediately wiped the ice cream on the aura cheek with his hand.

"Udah is clean" said Rendra.

Aura even fell silent. Because the distance between him and Rendra was very close. The man was right in front of him.

"Eh, for a moment, there is still a little," said Rendra then slightly lowered his head to see the ice cream marks attached there.

Duh! Why should I be so close! If he hears my heartbeat, how?

Inner Aura voiced. He was really nervous and afraid that Rendra could hear his heartbeat. Finished with what Rendra did, Rendra also gave his ice cream to Aura.

"Take my own," said Rendra, handing over the ice cream.

Because it is not accepted. Rendra pulled Aura's hand and placed it in Aura's. While the other hand Rendra used to hold Aura's hand. Like a couple, both of them walk side by side.

I don't know why his heart warmed. Rendra did not want this moment to end just like that.

Until night comes. Both of them were on the shoreline while looking at the star-studded sky. The waves seemed to accompany both. The atmosphere seemed quiet because people passing by on the beach had started to go home and also the weather felt cold.

"Au, after we don't become lovers anymore. Are you still going to be a paid woman?" ask Rendra.

"of course. Where would I get money if I wasn't a paid woman?" answer Aura.

"If I say I'll help you find another job how? So you don't have to be a paid woman."

"What kind of job do you want to offer? I'm just a high school graduate, Ren. At most stuck being a waitress restaurant, cashier or even OB and the salary is not much. While my needs are many," replied Aura again.

Rendra took a slow breath.

"So my lover again" said Rendra.

Aura smiled wryly.

"Better not Ren. You've spent too much money just to hire me as your pretend lover. After all, there must have been a lot of clients looking for me."

"I'm serious Au. So my boyfriend's not pretending anymore but real."

Aura was slightly surprised by Rendra's statement. He wondered in his heart. Did Rendra say that out of pity for him? Or is there a taste in him? But why can? He's just a low-class person.

"Your jokes aren't funny" Aura said.

"Do I look like a joke, Au?" said Rendra while pulling Aura to face towards him and looking at Aura deeply.

Aura gulped her saliva. He could see from the eyes of Rendra who was not joking. That means Rendra's invitation is the truth not a lie.

"Have you believed in love again?" ask Aura to make sure.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you comfortable being around me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you love me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The question Aura asked was always answered with a yes by Rendra without even turning away from staring at Aura.

"Why do you love me?"

"Should there be a reason for that?"

Aura nodded.

"Alright, the reason is because it's you. What you do I like. Everything in you I like. Is that enough?"

The deg! The deg! The deg!

Aura's heart beat irregularly as if beating the war drums there. He really didn't think Rendra would like it. And actually he was also comfortable near Rendra, let alone the family of Rendra who received it so well. But ...

"Better find another woman Ren. I don't deserve you," Aura refused.

"Does that mean you rejected me? If your reason is to refuse because of social status. From today on we are really a couple of real lovers. But if you refuse on the grounds of not loving me and loving other men, I accept your rejection," said Rendra.

Aura bit the tip of her fingernails. If he says he loves another man, Rendra will ask who he is.

Duh! All wrong.

"Au," called Rendra in her soft voice while clasping Aura's hand.

"Social status is not important to me. I just need you to love me. That's more than enough to make me fight to help you."

Aaaa. Why are the words he said romantic? Where is that cold, cruel Rendra? I became ...

"Hows it? Did you get the answer?"

"I-I'm t-accepting," Aura replied as she turned her face shy.

Rendra smiles pleasure. Those two words were enough for him. He did not want to ask again for fear that Aura would change her mind.

Both were silent for quite a while. A sense of awkwardness began to present between them. Being a real lover is like a dream. Rendra put Aura's head to lean on her shoulder. They enjoyed time together as lovers starting that night.
