2023-11-18 11:40:48Dave felt relieved after meeting Aurora's uncle and aunt who welcomed him warmly, even though he hadn't yet received their blessing to marry Aurora. However, the warm reception from Alan and Erika only strengthened Dave's resolve to win over Aurora's parents. As for Anton, Aurora's cousin who openly disliked him, Dave didn't bother dwelling on it. He understood that Anton's protective attitude was natural for an older brother towards his younger sister. If Dave were in Anton's position, he would also be the front-line protector for Daveina with all his heart and strength, and he wouldn't hesitate to stand up against anyone who dared to harm his sister.
"Dave, can I take you to the airport?" Aurora asked as Dave's car entered her house's driveway.
"You can stay at home; one of the café employees will take me to the airport. Don't worry, I'll try to come every Saturday and Sunday," Dave replied, turning off the car's engine and looking

Dave played with his phone on the table, lost in thought. A smile spread across his face as he pressed a sequence of digits that were stored only in his memory. "I need your help," Dave said after the call was connected. After explaining the task to the person he called, Dave promptly disconnected and cleared the remaining conversation.***Alan approached Erika, who was sitting leaning against the back of the bed, her face displaying a dominant sense of unease. Alan smiled gently and sat beside Erika, holding her hand tightly. Alan knew what Erika was thinking about right now, who else but the man who had come with their niece, Aurora, earlier this evening."You must be thinking about Dave, right? I'm sure we're both thinking the same thing. That man looks so much like our friend, Ferdinand, doesn't he?" Alan said, instantly making Erika nod with a mix of anxiety and curiosity."Don't

Little did Aurora expect that the next morning her mother would call as usual, as if nothing had happened. Her mother didn't ask at all about Dave's visit to her uncle and aunt; instead, her mother's voice sounded incredibly cheerful. Maria, her mother, only asked about her well-being and informed her that she couldn't visit Yogyakarta for the time being due to her father's work commitments.On campus, before classes started, Aurora walked to the Faculty of Economics building to meet Arabella, her sister-in-law. Aurora was curious if her parents had already called her sister and asked about Dave. However, once again, Aurora was left stunned as Arabella explained that her parents had indeed called but only to inquire about her and express their longing for Baby Azka, their grandchild, as usual.After being disappointed with Arabella's explanation, Aurora hurriedly returned to her faculty building. Her class would start in 10 minutes. However,

Aurora's smile widened as she looked at Anton, amused by the thought that Anton and Ranita were both still single. Ranita was one of the youngest, beautiful, and smartest lecturers on campus. At the age of 27, Ranita had completed her PhD education and was about to obtain her Doctorate degree. Matching Anton, who also held a Doctorate degree, the handsome lecturer with his distinctive Indonesian charisma had been labeled as a playboy, yet strangely, he remained single at the age of 31. Rumors had circulated around campus during her education, but Aurora wasn't sure about them as far as she knew Anton was still single up to this moment.Anton's eyebrows knitted together as he noticed Aurora's strange expression. He was well aware that Aurora thought he might be hitting on her academic advisor. Anton acknowledged that Aurora's academic advisor was indeed beautiful, meeting the criteria of his ideal wife, but he didn't feel any connection. His heart d

With a pounding heart, Aurora drove her car into the airport's pick-up zone. She had purposely chosen to pick up her boyfriend herself. She couldn't deny that she was eagerly anticipating their first meeting after they officially became a couple. The car's engine came to a stop, matching the rhythm of her increasingly erratic heartbeat. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly while checking her makeup in the rearview mirror.Aurora stepped out of the car, waiting anxiously for Dave's arrival as she leaned against her vehicle. Not long after, a man with shoulder-length hair and black sunglasses walked from the arrival gate. Aurora's world seemed to halt as she could feel her entire body going numb. Once again, she was mesmerized by the man who always had a masculine appearance. Aurora tried to hide her nervousness by returning Dave's approaching smile. The distance between them gradually disappeared until Dave stood right in front of Aurora, and he removed his

"I'm going home now, Dave," Aurora said, still standing at the doorway, feeling hesitant around Daveina. Dave, who was busy taking off his shoes, got up from the sofa and took Aurora's hand."Just stay, I've missed you. You can sleep with Daveina, and I can sleep on the sofa," Dave said, guiding Aurora to sit on the sofa with him."Here's fine, Aurora. You don't need to be shy around me. I mean, you're practically my future sister-in-law; there's no reason to feel awkward," Daveina added casually as she shifted to a sideways position with her right hand supporting her head."Tomorrow morning, I have a photoshoot, so I need to get ready Antonght," Aurora explained, causing Dave's expression to suddenly turn cold. Realizing Dave's change in demeanor, Aurora quickly gave an explanation, but he remained silent."Dave," Aurora called out as Dave got up from the sofa and entered the bathroom.

"You look beautiful," Dave praised with admiration as he scanned Aurora's appearance from head to toe. Aurora was wearing black skinny jeans and a long-sleeved white t-shirt. Dave preferred Aurora's look with minimal makeup, her brown-blonde hair tied back in a ponytail like this. Aurora looked like a teenager, while Dave seemed more like an older brother or, more accurately, an uncle. "I might really be turning into a pedophile," Dave muttered to himself with a amused smile.Suddenly, Dave's hearty laughter filled Aurora's minimalist house, leaving both Daveina and Aurora baffled by Dave's strange behavior. It was the first time Aurora had seen Dave laugh so freely, and it somehow elevated his level of handsomeness."Dave, I think the house's resident spirit possessed Dave," Daveina said, still staring at Dave in horror."Hush, don't say such things, Vin. You'll scare me. I'm alone in this house every day," Aurora repli

"Young lady, you're grinning by yourself, where are your parents?" the man asked, pushing Daveina's hand away from his body."What? Young lady? You must be senile, sir! Look at my sexy body! There's no way a sexy young lady like me could be a child," Daveina challenged because she couldn't accept being called a child. She thought she had dressed as beautifully and as sexy as possible, but suddenly, the man in front of her shattered her confidence. With a cold stare, the man followed Daveina's gaze."Forgive me, Lord," the man muttered and quickly averted his gaze from Daveina's cleavage, which was clearly visible from where he stood. An odd sensation seemed to flow through his veins, making him uncomfortable. He shook his head quickly when his brain started to misbehave.The man tried to deny his attraction to the girl, but his heart reluctantly acknowledged her beauty. Yet, his mature and handsome self cou

Meanwhile, Daveina was accompanied by Gracia, busy hunting for various affordable Yogyakarta souvenirs. Daveina hoarded various accessories made from beads and silver with different designs, patterns, and sizes, as well as rattan bags that matched her taste. Gracia wasn't surprised by Daveina's consumeristic enthusiasm because when they were in Surabaya, Daveina had once taken Gracia to her boutique. Besides offering her own clothing designs, the boutique also had many accessories, and Gracia was sure Daveina wanted to add to her boutique's collection."Gracia, next time, accompany me again for shopping, okay? Everything here is good and affordable, perfect for my boutique collection. If I had my own vehicle, I'd definitely shop even more," Daveina explained while they were choosing some woven rattan bag designs."Of course, Miss Daveina, I'd be happy to accompany you," Gracia replied warmly and sincerely."Oh, don't cal

After the birth of the twins, the life of Aryan and Laura's small family became even more colorful. There was no happiness that could replace it, but behind all that, Aryan became the subject of jokes among relatives and family members due to the fainting incident while accompanying Laura during her recent surgery."Seriously, you're so funny for fainting next to your wife during her surgery. Luckily, Laura didn't go into shock; it could have been fatal," Andre said with laughter as they had just returned home from the hospital."Let it go, Dad, there's no need to talk about it again," Aryan replied with irritation as he guided Laura into the bedroom, while the twins remained calm in the arms of Liana and Della.Laura rested for a while, trying to ease the pain from the incision in her abdomen following the cesarean section surgery, which still greatly affected her movements.

Seven months later…Laura and Aryan were now in the final trimester of her pregnancy. It wouldn't be long before she would give birth to their twin babies, a boy and a girl, according to the ultrasound results. Laura's pregnancy had been progressing smoothly, even though she had experienced morning sickness for two months.She managed to meet all of Dr. Rahma's recommended nutritional requirements. Despite occasional morning sickness and vomiting in the morning, Laura's appetite had increased with her advancing pregnancy. It wasn't surprising that her weight had increased by 30 kg. Dr. Rahma estimated that each baby weighed around 3 kg, so Laura was advised to follow a diet while waiting for the delivery.For the past two months, Laura and Aryan had moved to a ground-floor room, using the living room as their bedroom because Laura wasn't allowed to go up and down the stairs. When Aryan was at the office, Liana, his mother, would be on standby, and Bi Ana an

Aryan's overprotective attitude made Laura both happy and annoyed. She was ecstatic because she felt deeply loved, but at the same time, she was frustrated by Aryan's constant restrictions. Like tonight, Aryan didn't allow her to do anything except go to the bathroom. He prepared a glass of water for her medication along with the prenatal milk they had bought at the mini-market. And, of course, he always accompanied her to the bathroom every time."Thank you, Honey, for all the happiness you've given me. I promise to be the best husband and father for you and our children," Aryan whispered while hugging Laura from behind. He nuzzled his face into the curve of Laura's neck, his right hand gently caressing her still-flat stomach."You're welcome, and thank you for all your love," Laura replied while stroking the back of Aryan's hand, which was wrapped around her belly. Laura couldn't believe that after all the pain she had endured, God had given her a perfect husband and

Slowly, Laura's eyelids opened for the second time, and now it was the peaceful face of Aryan that greeted her. Laura gazed at the handsome man's face in front of her for quite some time. He was the source of her love and greatest strength up to this point. Not satisfied with admiring her husband's handsome face, a sudden sense of curiosity began to disturb her. She glanced at the wall clock, which had stopped at exactly 4 in the early morning. Without much thought, she pulled open the drawer next to her bed, carefully retrieved a pregnancy test from inside it, and entered the bathroom without making a sound that could wake Aryan.Laura's heart pounded loudly as she looked at the pregnancy test that she had dipped into a small container containing her urine. She lifted the test stick slowly with trembling hands, and there it was... two red lines she had been waiting for appeared. It was crystal clear.

Laura's proposal seminar went smoothly with an A grade, which made her more enthusiastic as she entered the final semester of her college. She only needed to complete the data from her research that she had already conducted. Anton, as her thesis advisor, was now more flexible with all of his supervised students, even though he had a busy schedule as a professor and head of the university's research center. Everything was scheduled, from the day, time, and location of the advisory sessions. If he had any sudden commitments, he would reschedule them at another time, ensuring that all his students for the year progressed smoothly, including leading up to their thesis defense in two weeks."Look at that belly, just like a balloon, Ara," Laura pointed out as she walked with Arabella towards the faculty cafeteria after their last thesis advisory session before the upcoming defense in two weeks."Yeah, it's like a balloon. It can expand and deflate," Arabella replied, pantin

They experimented with various recipes from both Indonesia and other countries. Aryan no longer worked late into the night at the office, and if there were urgent tasks, he entrusted them to his personal assistant, Jefri. On Sundays, he spent quality time with his family at home or went out with Laura. Trying out new recipes was something Aryan looked forward to every day because his wife's cooking experiments never disappointed.Finally, the plan to cook together with Laura's friends could be realized.

One week after the surgery, Laura had already started to resume her usual activities. During that week, Aryan had been constantly by Laura's side, handling all his office matters while Andra and Jefri took care of them. Even if there were documents requiring his signature, Jefri would bring them home, allowing Aryan to stay close to Laura and attend to her. Aryan could still manage to check on Jefri's work and reply to emails from his colleagues at home.He did all of this solely for Laura's recovery. Laura often urged him to go to the office, but Aryan refused to budge. He wanted to focus on taking care of Laura until she was completely healed. Arabella and Aurora, as their best friends, always provided their support. Additionally, Nancy and Ricard came to the house to deliver Laura's favorite dishes, prepared by her mother, Della.

The long-awaited day finally arrived, the day when Laura was to undergo surgery to remove the cyst in her abdomen. All the preparations for the surgery were in place, and there were only 30 minutes left before Laura would be taken into the operating room.

Laura asked anxiously, looking at the clock on the white-walled room. In five minutes, she would be moved to the operating table, but Aryan had not been seen since he left briefly to go to the bathroom.Liana was nervous, but before she could answer Laura's question, two male and female nurses entered to take Laura to the operating room.

Aryan could only gently pat Laura's trembling shoulder. He was confused about how to calm his wife. Since returning from the hospital the previous night, Laura had been silent in her room. Aryan had been shocked by the results of Dr. Rahma's explanation that Laura had been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. This was the reason for Laura's recent abdominal and hip pain, as well as her occasional fever and nighttime vomiting. What pained Aryan even more was that he had been unaware of Laura's illness. Regret. That was the feeling weighing heavily on Aryan's chest now. He felt like he wanted to pound his own chest in frustration. His heart shattered as he looked at Laura's sad state, a promise to never make her cry that he had now broken."I'll get you breakfast first," Aryan said softly as he kissed the top of Laura's head before leaving the room.Aryan walked to the dining room with a heavy heart. Instead of finding his parents there, he saw Ana, their maid, covering the d
