2023-11-24 11:08:28Once again, Aurora had to swallow the bitter pill of not receiving a single reply from Dave. She found herself staring at her phone screen with anxiety, waiting for the gray checkmarks to turn blue. Aurora sighed deeply when she realized that it had been a month since the two-door fridge guy had given her any news; the man with copper-brown eyes seemed to have vanished off the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, Aurora was feeling lost in her life.
Longing? It was a feeling that always cut Aurora's heart slowly every moment. Heartbreak because of her unrequited love with Andra wasn't as painful as her separation from Dave. This man had successfully captured all of Aurora's thoughts and heart, disrupting her peaceful life. In a short time, he had written a sweet story that Aurora had never experienced before. And now, should she just forget about him? Meanwhile, the love in her heart continued to grow stronger.

Now, their two pairs of eyes locked, silently conveying their deep longing. They channeled their profound emotions through silence. The girl scrutinized Dave's face, which looked disheveled, with dark under-eye circles accentuating his strong jaw. Her gaze shifted to Dave's body, which appeared thinner than the last time they had met.Once again, the girl stared intensely at the man in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. "Dave," Aurora murmured softly, her trembling lips. There was no response from the man who remained frozen in place. **Thud...** Aurora's body suddenly collided with Dave's, and he pulled her roughly into his arms, embracing her tightly. Without a word, Dave tightened his grip, showering her with kisses on the top of her head."Sorry," Dave whispered, the only word he could utter.Slowly, Aurora's hands rose, reciprocating Dave's embrace. She inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of

It didn't take long for Aurora to drift into a peaceful slumber, but Dave, on the other hand, remained restless. His mind was solely focused on the girl he adored, who was now sound asleep in his bedroom. Dave shifted to sit up, his hands cupping his face. He let out a deep, audible sigh before rising from his seat and making his way towards the bedroom.The door creaked open softly. In the dim light, Dave could still clearly see Aurora's beautiful face, now peacefully asleep. He slowly approached the bed and slipped under the covers. Now, he could gaze at her lovely face without interruption. His hand gently brushed away a strand of hair that partially obscured Aurora's face. Dave couldn't believe that the girl he loved so deeply was lying beside him.Suddenly, a surge of irritation washed over him as he thought about how reckless Aurora had been, driving all the way to his apartment by herself. Her stubborn and headstrong nature was what o

Aurora closed her eyes as Dave's lips gently brushed against hers, her hands clutching Dave's shirt tightly. Despite her logical thoughts telling her to resist, her body had a different idea. She found herself enjoying Dave's tender affection. Dave's right hand held the back of Aurora's head, deepening the kiss. As time passed, the kiss grew more passionate, and small moans escaped Aurora's lips. Slowly, Aurora began responding to Dave's kiss, guided by her instincts. Both of them were lost in the kiss, completely absorbed in the moment, until Dave's hands began to unbutton Aurora's shirt, leaving only her black bra clinging to her body. Dave held back a groan, his gaze darkened with desire. Aurora couldn't resist; she was also relishing every touch from Dave. Aurora felt like she was floating, experiencing pleasure she had never felt before. Dave's lips explored every inch of Aurora's neck, leaving behind marks of possession."Dave," a soft, breat

Dave finally decided to go swimming in the morning to cool off the turmoil that had been awakened every time he was near Aurora. It seemed that maintaining a long-distance relationship (LDR) was the best decision rather than continuing to make mistakes. Dave knew what he had done to Aurora was sinful, but for a man who had recently turned to a more Daveout path, it was incredibly challenging to resist. Moreover, he used to be accustomed to one-night stands (ONS) with many women.That girl had come into his life quite unexpectedly, like a nuclear bomb, demolishing the sturdy defenses he had built over three years. And what was worse, she was so innocent that she never realized her revealing outfits often stirred the curiosity of men who wanted to explore her smooth, enticing body. Dave was one of them, constantly craving for her to become his."Dave, why didn't you invite me to swim?" Aurora asked, standing by the poolside without Dave notici

While Dave was picking up his car, Aurora waited in the apartment lobby, playing with her phone and checking her social media accounts. Many comments filled her post from three days ago when she endorsed a local brand called Stargirl, known for producing high-quality products equivalent to famous foreign brands. Stargirl has already introduced three flagship products: sneakers, high heels, and handbags. Affordable prices with guaranteed quality have made Stargirl popular among teenagers. Aurora's smile widened as the positive response to the product she endorsed had captured the interest of her followers on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.Tin... The sound of a motorcycle horn immediately diverted Aurora's attention from the flat object she was holding. Her lips parted in amazement as she saw Dave on a sportbike she knew must have cost a fortune. The man smiled behind his full-face helmet, instantly making Aurora's heart race again.

Dave's intuition finally became a reality when a car with a license plate number bearing the letter "B" was neatly parked in front of his girlfriend's house. He felt a mixture of exhaustion after a 7-hour drive and apprehension about how Aurora's parents would react when they found out their daughter had spent the night with a man. Negative thoughts were likely to cross their minds.Dave took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, gazing at Aurora's peaceful face as she sat in the passenger seat beside him. Slowly, Dave's hand reached out to move a strand of hair that covered her face. He traced every inch of Aurora's beautiful face, committing it all to memory, as this might be his last chance to see his beloved until he was satisfied. The feeling of not wanting to let go filled his heart, and even a brief separation drove him nearly insane. If what was currently tormenting his mind were to become a reality, Dave wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Perhaps the

After hearing her mother's statement, Aurora immediately reached for the plate on the nightstand and Daveoured the food until it was finished. Maria chuckled and handed her a glass of orange juice, which Aurora drank quickly. Maria couldn't believe how deep her daughter's love for the man named Dave was.Later that evening, Arabella and her husband, along with Baby Azka, came for dinner. The dinner went smoothly with a warm atmosphere, although Maria felt something was missing due to the absence of Hendrik, her husband. She had never been separated from her husband like this before, and suddenly, a feeling of anxiety overwhelmed her. Had Hendrik eaten yet or not? But Maria tried to distract herself by looking at Aurora's smile, which had returned after a few gloomy days. She was relieved to see her little girl now laughing happily with the adorable Baby Azka.Now they were relaxing on the floor mattress in the living room, joki

Maria didn't want to waste the remaining time in Yogyakarta. She planned to host a family dinner and invited her only sibling who lived in Yogyakarta, Alan, her brother-in-law and Hendrik's close friend. Before Hendrik arrived the next day, Maria had already planned the dinner with Erika, her sister-in-law.This morning, the women, consisting of Maria, Erika, Arabella, and Laura, had gathered at Aurora's house. Due to Aurora's minimalist kitchen, they transformed the backyard into a makeshift kitchen and dining area. Since it was a Saturday, the men were still busy with work at their respective offices until midday. So, it was Aurora who had the task of looking after Baby Azka, who was in her active and exploratory phase. It was quite overwhelming for Aurora, but at the same time, it served as a distraction from her constant thoughts about Dave."Aurora still seems a bit down, Ma?" Arabella asked while observing Aurora playing with Baby Azka

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. Aryan wiped the sweat from Laura's forehead with a tissue and gently kissed her.

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. For a moment, her body felt boneless, and she sat down on the bathroom floo

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. Arabella, along with Andra and Baby Azka, arrived early, followed by Aurora and Laura's younger siblings, who joined in to make th

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. Many of their classmates also visited Laura at home."Look, Honey, two weeks at home, and my body is getting all soft. How can I resist yo

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. Feelings of relief and worry dominated everyone's thoughts, but they all had to hide those emotions behind smiles to show support for Laura."Aryan, where's Mom?" 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. Everyone held back their tears as Laura smiled at them, trying to show that she was strong and brave. As the nurses pushed the wheelchair carrying Laura toward the door, Aryan suddenly appeared with a smile. Laura returned h

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
