All family members were going about their usual activities, except for Anton and Brian, who planned to return to Surabaya on Monday afternoon. The ladies had gathered at Aurora's house. They talked about various topics as women often do. It seemed they never ran out of things to discuss. They began with the amusing antics of the toddlers and then moved on to favorite movies, eventually leading to conversations about how besotted their husbands were.
"Ra, are you sure you want to be a stay-at-home mom?" Arabella raised an incredulous eyebrow when her sister expressed her desire.
"Yes, Arabella, I've decided to leave the modeling world. I want to focus on my boutique. When I reflect on it, I've missed out on so much while chasing my career when true happiness lies in being with family. I want to enjoy being a mother who can always be there for every milestone of my children. I don't want to miss moments that will never come back. I realize that, when they become teenager
"Honey, please don't stay silent like this," Dave pleaded while gently caressing Aurora's shoulder as she lay with her back turned. Aurora remained unmoved, pretending to be asleep. It was clear that Aurora was angry and jealous upon discovering WhatsApp messages from another woman on her husband's phone.Negative thoughts started to creep into her mind as she recalled how she had been too indifferent to her husband's personal affairs while being preoccupied with her own. Could it be that Dave was tempted by women out there who were sexier, prettier, and younger than her? Aurora herself had witnessed how Dave seemed to attract the attention of women when they picked up their children from school. Yet, it was clear that Dave was with his legitimate wife.Failing to get a response from the woman he loved, Dave slowly moved under the covers and reached out to Aurora. He held her tightly and began kissing her shoulder with love. He knew his wife hadn't really fallen asleep
Six months later..."Mommy has something for you all!" Aurora exclaimed, instantly diverting the attention of her three loved ones.Aurora, with her slightly bulging belly, appeared carrying a tray of food and drinks for them all. Brownies she had baked herself, accompanied by apple juice. Not forgetting a hot cup of coffee for the hazel-eyed man who was now gazing at her with deep affection.Aurora took a seat and waited for her three loved ones to join her, gently caressing her belly.Elora, who had become a skilled swimmer, was sitting by the edge of the pool on her own, while Ivand, still learning, was in Dave's arms. Seeing Dave's six-pack abs made Aurora swallow hard. She had an overwhelming desire to hug that broad chest and kiss it. Aurora quickly shook her head to redirect her thoughts. She focused on Elora and Ivand, who were enjoying the brownies she had made.During this third pregnancy, Aurora admitted to experiencing a different sensa
"Smile, Laura!" Aryan whispered in Laura's ear while embracing her slender waist possessively. Laura just snorted in annoyance and then tried to smile happily as she greeted the wedding guests who were starting to climb onto the stage to congratulate the newlyweds. After all the guests had taken their turn to descend from the stage, Laura saw Arabella and her husband approaching with beaming smiles."Congratulations, Laura, may you have a happy family." The heartfelt words from her friend Arabella brought tears to her eyes. If only she could be honest with Arabella, that she was marrying not out of love. Laura couldn't help but feel envious of Arabella's intimacy with her husband, especially since the arrival of their little son, their family seemed even more harmonious."Amen, thank you, Ara," Laura replied briefly, then hugged Arabella tightly."After this, you have to call me your sister-in-law, right? You're marrying my little brother," teased Arabella, making Ary
"Aarrrgghhh..." Aryan grunted loudly as his body shivered, still unaware that he hadn't slept alone last night."Come on, Aryan, it's morning already," Laura said while pulling the blanket covering Aryan's body. Laura chuckled when she saw Aryan's irritated face beneath his baby-faced appearance. Laura had gotten to know Aryan's character and habits a bit during the month before their wedding. Aryan and Laura had spent a lot of time together preparing for the wedding, thanks to Arabella and his mother-in-law's efforts to make them spend time together."Later, Ma," Aryan replied, still with his eyes closed. He reached for the blanket that had slipped off his body and covered himself with it. Laura furrowed her brow upon hearing Aryan's response."Aryan dear, I'm your wife, Laura, not Mama Liana," Laura whispered into Aryan's ear."Laura!" Aryan yelled, causing him to sit up abruptly. He rubbed his face and stared at Laura from head to toe, his hands folded over hi
Prang... Prang... The noisy clatter echoed from the kitchen. Laura intentionally dropped the pot lid repeatedly to the floor, doing it on purpose to wake her boss up for the morning prayer. Laura grew increasingly frustrated when she saw that the kitchen wall clock already showed 5:17 AM, but Aryan was nowhere to be seen."This girl is really giving me a headache," Aryan grumbled, still curled up in bed with his face buried in a pillow. He tried to close his eyes again, but the noisy disturbance from the kitchen prevented him from doing so. Finally, with annoyance, Aryan got up to clean up in the bathroom.Klek... "Aryan..." Laura's words were cut off because it turned out Aryan was lying down. Laura smiled because suddenly an idea crossed her mind. It wouldn't hurt to play a little prank on her husband temporarily. She went back to the kitchen, carrying two pot lids in her hands."One, two, th—" Prang... The sound of the pot lids colliding created an incredibly
"Drink up, Laura,"Aryan said as he helped Laura sit up to drink the freshly brewed tea."I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't swim," Aryan continued, then placed the glass on the nightstand after Laura had taken a few sips. Suddenly, Laura pulled back the blanket covering her body. She felt something strange, looking at Aryan's face, which was also staring at her."Aaaaaa...!" Laura screamed when she realized her clothes had changed, and she instinctively covered her breasts with both hands, her eyes wide open."Shuuuutt, what's wrong with you, screaming like that? I was just helping you change your clothes. You weren't waking up, and I didn't want you to get sick. Otherwise, I'd be the one in trouble!" Aryan tried to calm Laura down."Bruk…" Laura kicked Aryan until he fell and bumped into the cabinet behind him."Come on, you were just looking for an opportunity!" Laura yelled, then quickly covered her body again with the blanket. She peeked insi
"Grip tight! I don't want to take responsibility if you fall later," Aryan yelled while opening the visor of his helmet."Yeah, you're so noisy," Laura replied with an annoyed expression. Earlier, Laura had tried to dress as attractively as possible to be Aryan's lady, wearing a hijab and a pale pink t-shirt, skinny jeans, and applying a thin nude lipstick on her sensual lips. She was surprised when Aryan brought his sports motorcycle keys. Laura didn't like riding sports motorcycles, not for any particular reason, but back in high school, she had asked Ricard, her classmate who owned a sports motorcycle, for the reason, and his answer had left Laura stunned. He had said it was enjoyable because there were plenty of girls interested in it without him having to chase after them.Thinking of Ricard reopened old wounds. Ricard was Noval's friend and her first love."Come on, we're newlyweds, so let's look affectionate," Aryan said, snapping Laura out of her thoughts. Lau
"Aryan, what does this mean? You transferred more than our agreement?" Laura displayed a bank statement showing a transfer of 20 million into her bank account."Just consider it a bonus for playing your role so well!" Aryan replied casually, then continued sipping his own coffee. He was annoyed because Laura had successfully played a prank on him yesterday."Why aren't you drinking the coffee I made for you?" Laura asked when she saw Aryan holding a cup of coffee, even though the coffee she made was still untouched on the dining table. Aryan just shrugged and was about to leave, leaving Laura by the poolside."Okay, I'm sorry for my mistake yesterday," Laura said, folding her hands in front of her chest and looking at Aryan earnestly. Once again, Aryan remained indifferent and walked away, making Laura feel embarrassed."I just want to receive the money according to our agreement, I'll transfer it back later," Laura continued, following Aryan as he headed
