Chapter 60

The atmosphere in Reyna and Aryan's room felt warm and intimate. The dim night light created a serene atmosphere, while the ticking of the clock on the wall provided a soothing background. They both lay on the soft pillows, preparing for their nightly ritual: pillow talk.

“Reyna, where are you going tomorrow?” Aryan asked, looking at his wife curiously. His bright eyes sparkled in the soft light, creating an intimate atmosphere between them.

Reyna smiled, remembering her plans for the next day. “I plan to go to my father’s house. He said there were a few things that needed to be discussed. Maybe we’ll discuss his house renovation project,” Reyna replied, gently caressing Aryan’s hand.

“Ah, that must be interesting. Your father always has creative ideas,” Aryan replied with enthusiasm. “When do you want to start the renovation? I can help if you need it.”

“There’s no set date yet, but maybe after all the plans are finalized. I want to make sure everything goes smoothly,” Reyna explained, then continued, “What about you? Any new business plans you’re working on?”

Aryan nodded, his face looking excited. “Yeah, I just met with some investors for a new project. We are planning a new product launch that I am sure will catch the market’s attention. It is nerve-wracking, but also very exciting.”

Reyna listened intently, her eyes sparkling as Aryan explained the details of his project. “You always have a way of making difficult things interesting. I’m sure you’ll succeed,” she said, giving her full support.

“Thank you, honey. Your support means a lot to me,” Aryan replied, reaching for Reyna’s hand and holding it tightly. “But, sometimes I feel lonely when you’re not by my side. It feels like something is missing.”

Reyna felt a warmth in her heart. “Me too, Aryan. Every time we’re apart, I always miss you. But I try to keep busy so I don’t think about you too much,” she said with a chuckle.

“So, what have you been doing at your dad’s house all this time?” Aryan asked, curious to know more about Reyna’s activities.

“Oh, a lot of things. I help my dad cook, take care of the plants in the garden, and sometimes we watch movies together. We also go to the market to buy fresh groceries,” Reyna explained enthusiastically.

“Sounds fun! I want to join you next time,” Aryan replied, imagining warm moments with Reyna’s family. “But don’t forget to take time for yourself too. You need time to relax.”

Reyna nodded. “I know, and I try to. But sometimes I feel like I have a lot of responsibilities to fulfill. I want to be a good daughter to my parents and a good wife to you.”

“I know you’re doing your best, Reyna. And I’m so proud of you,” Aryan said, looking deep into Reyna’s eyes. “We can support each other, right? We’re a team.”

“Absolutely,” Reyna replied, feeling touched. “I’m so grateful to have you by my side. You always make me feel better.”

They were both silent for a moment, enjoying the warm moment together. The sound of the clock ticking continued to tick, indicating the passing of time, but for them, time seemed to have stopped.

“By the way, there’s something I want to tell you,” Aryan suddenly said, distracting Reyna. “Earlier, when I was at the office, I saw a picture of us from our last vacation. It felt so great to spend time with you on the beach.”

Reyna smiled widely, remembering that beautiful moment. “Yeah, I remember! We were playing in the water, and you almost fell into the sea,” she said with a laugh.

“Don’t mention it! It was embarrassing,” Aryan replied jokingly, but his smile couldn’t be hidden. “But, it was one of the best moments of my life.”

“Me too. We should plan another vacation as soon as we have time,” Reyna suggested, imagining their new adventure.

“Deal! Maybe somewhere we’ve never been before. I want to explore the world with you,” Aryan said, excitedly.

The night wore on, but their conversation never ended. They shared stories, laughter, and hopes for the future. Every word they said deepened the bond between them.

“Reyna, thank you for being a part of my life. Every day with you is a gift,” Aryan said sincerely.

Reyna felt her heart flutter at her husband’s words. “Me too, Aryan. You are my everything.”

They stared at each other, and in the silence, they knew that their love was growing stronger. That night, before going to bed, they not only shared stories, but also shared dreams and hopes, making every second precious in their life journey together.

The next day Reyna returned to her father's house. She then shared ideas about the house renovation that her father would do.

Reyna nodded with a smile, feeling the enthusiasm flowing within her. Renovating her father's house was not just a project, but also an opportunity to strengthen their relationship. She had prepared some interesting ideas that she wanted to share.

"How about we start by repainting the walls? I think pastel colors can give a fresh feel," Reyna said, opening a conversation in the living room that was starting to get messy with various sketches and colorful paints.

Her father, who was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap, looked away from the screen. "Pastel colors? That could be a good choice. But, we also need to consider the existing furniture. Do you have any ideas for that?"

Reyna nodded enthusiastically. "I was thinking of replacing some of the old furniture with more modern ones. Maybe we can find something multifunctional so that the room feels more spacious."

Meanwhile, Aryan was already in his car, driving through the busy city streets. His thoughts drifted to Reyna and the renovation project she was working on. He knew how important it was to Reyna, and he wanted to support her in the best way possible.

After a few hours of work, Aryan felt it was time to pick up Reyna. He sent a text message, “I’ll pick you up this afternoon, okay?” and waited for a reply.

At her father’s house, Reyna received the message and smiled. She felt lucky to have Aryan by her side, always ready to help and support her every step. “Of course, I can’t wait to show you everything we’ve planned!” Reyna replied.

That afternoon, when Aryan arrived, Reyna was ready with the sketches and colorful paints she had prepared. The two of them then stepped into the house, where Reyna’s father was waiting with great enthusiasm.

“Welcome, Aryan! Come on, let’s see what Reyna has prepared,” said Reyna’s father, inviting them to the living room.

Reyna began to explain every idea she had thought of, and Aryan listened attentively, giving input and suggestions. Their discussion was warm, full of laughter and creative ideas.

“If we add ornamental plants in the corners of the room, it will definitely make the atmosphere more lively,” suggested Aryan, who also has an interest in interior design.

Reyna nodded in agreement. “That’s a great idea! Plants can give a fresh impression and make the air in the house healthier.”

That night, they spent time together, planning every detail of her father’s house renovation with great enthusiasm. Reyna felt very grateful to have the support of Aryan and her father. This renovation was not just about fixing the house, but also about creating new memories with loved ones.
