2023-12-07 12:13:34While enduring the pain, Dave took slow, shuffling steps towards Aurora's hospital room, which was next to his. Daveina, annoyed but concerned, followed him closely, helping to hold the IV pole and standing by in case anything happened.
Dave knocked on the door with a racing heart, and shortly, a beautiful woman in modest attire, Maria, opened it with a warm smile.
"Dave, come on in!" Maria welcomed Dave and Daveina.
Aurora's body tensed immediately upon hearing her boyfriend's name mentioned by Maria, and Arabella stopped what she was doing, which was combing Aurora's long hair. Aurora turned and spotted Dave standing at the door of the room, sporting his new appearance. His hazel eyes gazed at her affectionately from behind black-framed glasses. Despite the faint obstruction of injuries, Aurora couldn't deny that his charm had increased.
The two lovers locked eyes in silence.
Silence.
Still, with her eyes locked, Dave slowly walked towards

Anton stood between Aurora's hospital room and Dave's. His heart suddenly raced as he imagined Daveina's face welcoming him into that room. After Anton had given Dave a blood transfusion yesterday, he intentionally didn't return to the hospital. He was puzzled by the sudden heartache he felt every time he encountered Daveina since their meeting at the hospital yesterday. Anton tried to suppress the unfamiliar feelings for the girl he found incredibly annoying. A mature man who worked as a lecturer couldn't possibly fall in love with a young girl like Daveina. She was a far cry from his ideal wife, as Anton longed for a pious woman who could maintain her modesty and behavior, someone mature, not a playful girl in skimpy outfits like Daveina usually wore. Anton admitted that Daveina's stature was not as tall as Aurora's, but in certain areas, she was quite curvaceous and well-endowed, and her always-sexy appearance had turned Anton's life upside down for the past two months.An

Now, Aurora stood in front of the door without daring to knock. Her hands clenched each other nervously. Anton, who was by Aurora's side, closely observed her demeanor, which had been anxious since the kidnapping incident. The cheerful and super confident Aurora had now turned into a somber girl. Even during her two-night stay in the hospital, Aurora could never sleep peacefully; the traumatic event always haunted her dreams. During that time, the doctor always prescribed sleeping pills to help Aurora rest peacefully.Anton let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly while embracing Aurora's shoulder. He knocked on the door, and at the same time, Ferdinand arrived."Let's just go inside," Ferdinand said, then reached for and pushed the door handle, opening it wide.Aurora smiled as she greeted Sekar, then turned to look at Dave, who appeared to be peacefully asleep with regular breaths. Anton led Aurora towards the bed and pulled out a chair for her to sit on. Afterw

The sound of shattering objects erupted from Aurora's room. Maria was startled and immediately woke up Hendrik, who was in a deep sleep. Equally surprised, Hendrik leaped off the bed and rushed toward Aurora's room. Hysterical screams and heartbreaking sobs could be heard as Maria followed Hendrik, who arrived first in Aurora's room."Oh God, Aurora!" Maria exclaimed, her hand covering her mouth as she saw Aurora sitting in the corner of the bed, clutching her knees, tears streaming down her face. With a trembling body and tears flowing like a river, Maria slowly approached Aurora, who was now in the comforting embrace of Hendrik, her husband."You're safe, my love, calm down!" Hendrik whispered while showering Aurora's forehead with kisses. Aurora slowly lifted her face, looking into Hendrik's eyes, filled with concern.Aurora bit her lower lip, trying to stifle her sobs, her body still trembling. Those nightmares always haunted her every time she tried to clos

Aurora stood in front of Dave's hospital room, torn between embarrassment and longing to see Dave, while her parents headed straight to Dr. Miranda's office.With a loud gulp, Aurora's right hand reached for the door handle and pushed it open as she greeted the room, entering it slowly. Sekar, who was tidying up Dave's breakfast, immediately turned and smiled at Aurora, who stood stiffly at the doorway."Come here, sweetheart!" Sekar called out and walked toward Aurora, taking her hand to sit on the couch next to Dave. Dave just chuckled at the sight of his shy girl.Before Aurora could say anything, Sekar said, "Mommy will be outside for a while, okay?" Sekar excused herself and quickly left the room, intentionally giving Dave and Aurora some time alone to talk freely.Without saying a word, Dave gently embraced Aurora, using his left hand, free from the IV line. "I was so worried about you, sweetheart," Dave said as he lovingly kissed the top of Aurora's

Within a week, Aurora had undergone therapy three times with Dr. Miranda, and Dave and Maria had been by her side throughout this time. Aurora's trauma was far from healed, and it was possible that she might never forget the incident for the rest of her life. However, at least Aurora had started sleeping peacefully for two nights in a row. The frequency of her nightmares slowly diminished as her self-confidence began to grow.For the time being, Aurora's photo shoots were canceled during her recovery period, and all the contracts she had signed were handled entirely by Gracia, her manager. The dads had returned to their respective cities to attend to their work, leaving only the moms in Yogyakarta to accompany and care for their children during the recovery period.Everyone was grateful that Delon had been able to work effectively and discreetly so that the tragedy that befell Aurora did not become public knowledge.

Aurora emerged from the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe, with a towel wrapped around her head. Arabella shook her head in amazement, wondering how Aurora could casually come out of the bathroom wearing just a bathrobe, especially when Anton might suddenly come in and see her. Even though they were still siblings, Aurora should know her limits. She was not in her own home."Why?" Aurora asked with a raised eyebrow, seeing Arabella's strange expression as she dried her wet hair with a towel.Before Arabella could reply, the bedroom door suddenly swung open wide. Aryan and Laura stood there with wide-open eyes."Eh, eh, you're enjoying the view, huh?" Laura exclaimed while covering Aryan's eyes with her hands and turning his body around, urging him to leave immediately."This is what I don't like about you, Ra, careless! Right now, you're at Uncle Alan and Aunt Erika's house, not your own. Don't repeat it, okay?" Arabella gently but firmly reminded her.

"You can take my daughter away after you recite the marriage vows in front of me," Hendrik continued with a thin smile, and the tense atmosphere was suddenly replaced by enthusiastic applause from everyone.Aurora's eyes welled up as she looked at her father, while Dave remained frozen in place, still with his back turned to everyone. Hendrik nodded, signaling Aurora to follow Dave."Dave," Aurora whispered right behind Dave's back, her right hand lifted, intending to touch Dave's body. However, she quickly withdrew her intention.With a racing heart, Dave slowly turned around, gazing at Aurora's beautiful face, which looked tired, and looking into her teary eyes. He delved into Aurora's deepest feelings, ensuring that his love wasn't unrequited. Dave only wanted to make sure that his love wouldn't go to waste. The memory of Nadine's rejection still lingered in the corner of his heart, and he didn't want to fall for someone again only to be hurt.His copp

As if conspiring, both Aurora's and Dave's families cut off their communication, leaving them no way to reach out to each other. Even more cruelly, Ferdinand dumped all the office work on Dave's shoulders. Keeping Dave busy and distracted from Aurora was their goal.Brak... Dave threw his pen toward the office door, and the sound of clashing teeth could be heard in the silver-themed room. His finely-bearded jaw clenched as he swiveled his large chair to face the enormous mirror in front of him. The city lights outside began to twinkle one by one, signaling the approach of evening. Yet Dave was still drowning in the towering stack of papers on his desk, seemingly untouched, even though he recalled working with those annoying documents since seven in the morning."Is everything alright, Sir? I heard some noise from Mr. Dave's office, so I rushed over!" Veny said, her breath fast-paced from her hurried walk after hearing the commotion from her boss's room."Are you

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.

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.

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.
