Leon gazed at Selena, who had been busy with vegetables and a frying pan in her hands for the past hour."Baby, can I come closer now?" Leon asked, sitting at the pantry table and looking at Selena's back."Ten more minutes, dear," Selena replied, causing Leon to let out a long sigh. For the past thirty minutes, Selena's response had remained the same, yet no food was served on the dining table.Leon's gaze then shifted to the circular clock on his wrist. In five minutes, he needed to head to the resort construction project he was overseeing with his friend.Leon didn't regret moving to this incredibly beautiful country with its extraordinary natural wealth. He was determined to utilize his business acumen to develop tourism facilities and other natural resources on Raja Ampat Island."Baby, it seems like I'll just have some bread for breakfast today. I have to get to the project in ten minutes," Leon said, causing Selena to finally turn and look at him."Even though I've prepared bre
Leon stepped out of his Jeep upon arriving at his resort construction project."Is everything going smoothly?" Leon asked one of the foremen named Aji, who was responsible for supervising the workers and managing their tasks. Leon was able to communicate with Aji smoothly in English, along with his friend Arka.Leon and Selena had been trying to learn Indonesian, which they found not too difficult. In fact, Leon had managed to pick up enough to greet the workers in their native language, even though his pronunciation was a bit stiff."Smoothly, sir," the foreman replied, keeping pace with Leon as he observed the workers."Has Arka arrived?""Mr. Arka is checking the road construction. He might be here in about an hour," Aji answered.They walked around the resort construction site, which was around 40% complete. Besides the resort, Leon was also venturing into the agriculture business. He was seizing every opportunity he could in his new home on Waigeo Island.Waigeo Island, also know
"So, you're really going to sue me?" the woman said, folding her arms in front of her chest, prompting Leon to rub his face roughly before walking quickly and embracing his younger sibling, who had irritated him just a few minutes earlier."You nearly pushed me to commit a crime," Leon said, causing Luna to chuckle in his embrace."Is that so?" Luna asked."Yeah, I was close to throwing that chair at you," Leon said."And that wouldn't have happened because Lucas would have taken you down immediately," Luna said, making Leon look towards the man who was now staring at him with a sharp gaze."Oh, hey dude, I didn't know you were here too. So, what's your role here, as her bodyguard?" Leon said, causing Lucas to glare in annoyance."Say whatever you want, but release your hold on my wife first," Lucas said, unraveling their embrace and pulling Luna closer to his side."Come on, she's my sister. You can't possibly be jealous of your own brother-in-law," Leon said, baffled by Lucas's atti
Luna was ready in her bikini, which hugged her sexy body on the shores of Waiwo Beach. Waiwo Beach is located on the largest island in Raja Ampat, Waigeo Island. The beach can be reached relatively quickly, around fifteen minutes from the city center of Waisai, using a motor vehicle. While Waiwo Beach isn't particularly large, its beauty is beyond question. It's well-known as one of the best beaches in Raja Ampat and a prime destination for both domestic and international tourists.Waiwo Beach offers breathtaking panoramas. Vast stretches of white sand are the main attraction, with soft sands resembling flour. The beach gently extends into the expansive ocean, leading the gaze towards the gradient of blue sea and sky. Not to mention the beautiful underwater ecosystem of colorful corals and small fish lining the shore. The view is further enriched by the sight of distant islands. All these features combine to create an irresistible attraction, making it hard to leave the beach.Waiwo B
The five of them were now aboard the sailboat that would take them on a several-day journey exploring the waters of Raja Ampat. Initially, their plan was to enjoy the beauty of the sea and go snorkeling, but everything changed when an old woman approached Luna on the beach before their departure.Arka, being the only one who understood the old woman's words due to his long stay in Raja Ampat, became the center of attention for the four individuals sitting in a circle with him on the sailboat."Could you explain the meaning of the old woman's words?" Lucas asked, breaking the silence among them. Luna twisted her sweaty hands, her face displaying obvious fear.Arka glanced at each of them with different expressions before taking a deep breath and answering Lucas's question."She said something about the scar on Luna's abdomen," Arka said, causing Lucas to startle, and Luna immediately touched the surgical scar on her stomach. Lucas's heart raced twice as fast upon hearing Arka's words.
Arka continued to watch Lucas and Luna from the deck of the boat as they went diving. He couldn't hold back any longer and felt the need to discuss something with Lucas. His gaze shifted to Leon and Selena, who were enjoying the view of the open sea from the boat's roof.A harsh exhale escaped Arka as he realized he was alone on the sailboat. He should have brought his fiancée along, had he known he would end up being the third wheel to the affectionate couple.Arka's reverie was interrupted when he heard Lucas and Luna emerging from the water and heading back onto the boat."We can do more tomorrow; there's plenty of time," Lucas said, draping a towel over Luna's shoulders before guiding her back onto the boat. Luna and Lucas stopped when they reached Arka. For a moment, Arka and Lucas exchanged a gaze, before Lucas finally shifted his focus to Luna, who seemed to shiver slightly from the cold."You should go up first and rest. I'll join you later," Lucas suggested. Luna stared at hi
Lucas and the others were enjoying their dinner event on the sailboat arranged by Arka. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their dinner while engaging in some light conversations."Where does Grandma Maruna live, Arka?" Luna asked, immediately stopping the movements of Arka, as well as Lucas and even Leon."Honey, why are you asking about Grandma again?" Lucas questioned."I'm just curious about what happened earlier," Luna replied, causing Lucas to put down his utensils and look at Luna with a serious gaze."Honey, forget about that incident. I'm sure Grandma just wanted to greet us as foreign tourists," Lucas reasoned, trying to dissuade Luna from asking Arka any further.However, it seemed that the reason Lucas provided wasn't convincing Luna, given her expression that still indicated her desire for more information about Grandma Maruna. "I'm sure Grandma said something about me, and I need to know the meaning behind her words," Luna answered, leaving Lucas unsure of what kind of reaso
Lucas extended his hand to gently caress Luna's face, wiping away the tears that flowed and dampened her cheeks. At this moment, Lucas had no idea how to breathe properly; his chest felt tight and painful as he looked at the sorrow on his wife's face."Tell me, Lucas, is it true that I can't have a child?" Luna's words struck Lucas once again, and he immediately shook his head, denying every word Luna had just spoken."That's not true. One day, we'll have a happy family – you, me, and our children. Children who will look just like you, and some who will look just like me. They'll fill our days with color, wipe away sorrows and tears. We'll get everything, someday," Lucas reassured Luna, as if he was giving her strength. However, deep down, he felt like his heart was being stabbed with a blunt knife over and over again.Beyond the lies he was hiding, which would undoubtedly hurt him, and the fact that Luna would genuinely struggle to conceive, there was another fact – how Lucas would c
