Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 79. Go Home 2
A faint smile appeared on Dave's face as he followed Aurora towards the back of the cafe. He was briefly puzzled by a question that crossed his mind but was quickly enchanted by the beautiful and natural scenery of the cafe. The cafe's interior was designed to resemble the great outdoors, complete with the sound of flowing water from an artificial river and a few pairs of live pigeons with their cages perched on top of trees that surrounded the cafe.Now they were sitting in one of the gazebos and had ordered food and the cafe's signature drinks. The initial awkwardness had started to fade as they engaged in warm conversation about various topics, sharing stories about their experiences and even discussing Aurora's arranged marriage to Reynald. For some reason, Dave felt a twinge of displeasure when he heard about it. However, their conversation came to a halt when Aurora inquired about Dave's personal life, something Dave had intentionally buried deep inside. Dave didn't want to reop

Upon arriving at Juanda Airport in Surabaya, Dave immediately headed to Medika Hospital where Sekar was being treated, taking a taxi from the queue outside the airport. He took a deep breath as he gazed out of the window, watching the twinkling lights of Surabaya and the bustling streets that never seemed to sleep, as if they warmly welcomed him with glimpses of the past he had spent with Nadine and Ricky, all neatly framed in the corner of his heart.He leaned back against the seat, closing his eyes. His mind and heart were in a fierce battle of emotions and thoughts. The turmoil seemed like it wanted to erupt at that very moment. However, the taxi driver's voice suddenly diverted his attention as they had reached the entrance of Medika Hospital.Carrying only a medium-sized backpack, Dave walked towards the room that had been informed to him by his younger sister, Daveina. His heart raced as he stood in front of VIP Room 02, where Sekar was being treated. Slowly, he lifted his hand

Aurora walked listlessly from the campus parking lot to the law faculty building, only a thin smile appearing at the corners of her lips when she received greetings from fellow students. Delon ran up to her and lightly tapped her shoulder."Why's your face all crumpled like that?" Delon asked casually, his left hand resting on Aurora's shoulder."Just annoyed," Aurora replied with a hint of irritation in her tone."Annoyed? What's bothering you? As far as I know, you're a chronic single, so it's impossible for you to have a broken heart," Delon continued with a mocking expression."Easy for you to say. Aren't you full of yourself? I have loads of fans; the problem is, I don't want to find a boyfriend, I'm looking for a husband," Aurora clarified with a clear tone, which made Delon burst into laughter."Just focus on your studies; your destiny will come on its own. Hmm...who knows, maybe I'm your destiny. Lucky you, getting a handsome, smart, and kind husband like me," Delon said arrog

"Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, mmmmm," Aurora mumbled as she raised her hand high in the air, counting the days while imagining Dave's smile on her bedroom ceiling. That faint smile that she had seen only a few times but had managed to keep her longing for him constantly.Restlessness crept in on the third night after her last meeting with Dave. Her heart felt dull as she hadn't received any messages from the man with copper-brown eyes. She had checked her phone screen countless times throughout the day, hoping to see the name 'Oh, two door refrigerator' appear there. Disappointed? Absolutely, because the man who had stolen her heart was not being responsible, leaving her buried in false hope.She typed a long series of sentences with a pounding heart and then clicked the send button. Aurora sighed in disappointment when only one checkmark appeared. She counted to ten and then clicked the option 'delete message for everyone.'"Damn it!" Aurora cursed, remembering her two friends' words

"Of course, Mommy just wants to see you and your sibling happy. Whoever that girl is, Mommy will support you as long as you love her," Sekar replied, instantly making Dave take a deep breath."Love?" Dave murmured to himself, not even knowing the confusion in his own heart. Nadine was no longer within his reach. But suddenly, Aurora's smile flashed through his mind uninvited. Dave quickly shook his head, trying to dismiss the strange thought.Sekar's lips curved into a faint smile when she sensed her son's inner turmoil. Dave seemed to be weighing something, but doubt clearly lingered in his ego."Mommy will patiently wait for you to bring that girl who has stolen your heart," Sekar whispered gently, causing Dave's body to freeze. His mind raced to comprehend Sekar's last words before he got up from the bedside and walked out of the room."What do you mean, Mom? Dave doesn't have a girlfriend yet," Dave said as he followed Sekar down the stairs towards the dining area."Did Mommy ask

After having dinner with his family, Dave entered his room. He felt tired from a long day of work and wanted to rest, but sleep seemed to elude him. The king-sized bed with its cream-colored sheets had been tossed around like a ship in a storm. Various sleeping positions failed to coax him into slumber. All of this was because of the girl who looked like Aurora he had met at the office earlier. He had managed to push thoughts of the spoiled girl aside for a few days by burying himself in his mountain of work, but everything went haywire since that afternoon.Lying face down, he grabbed a pillow and buried his face in it, trying to shut out the world. He lost track of time as the clock's ticking failed to pull him into the realm of dreams. Annoyed, he threw the pillow away from his face and sat up to see the clock stopped at 11. He got up from the bed, changed into a pair of loose pants and a white polo t-shirt. After tying up his long hair, he grabbed a black leather jacket and the ca

One of the reasons David refused to commit to any woman was this nightlife scene. He enjoyed the freedom it provided, despite Bagas repeatedly warning him, and his own family constantly pressuring him to get married—a ridiculous notion he never entertained. As long as his biological needs were met, he saw no reason to complicate his life with marriage."Stay here, I'll deal with this," David said as he got up, tapping Dave on the shoulder.Dave played with his phone, checking his social media accounts. He opened Aurora's Instagram account and couldn't help but smile at the pictures. He gently caressed her face on the screen, feeling a twinge of longing deep within. Suddenly, his attention was diverted when he saw a girl's leg accidentally bump into a table in front of him as she rushed past. She seemed frantic, as if searching for someone.Dave got up from his seat after retrieving his jacket from the back of the sofa. He headed towards where David was standing, as David seemed irrita

Ahem... Ferdinan's clearing of his throat successfully broke the silence."In that case, you should propose to Aurora right away, Dave, no need for a long courtship," Sekar chimed in with a wide smile. The hijab-wearing beauty hadn't expected her son to bring a prospective daughter-in-law so soon.Aurora, in response, choked on the drink she had just taken, while Gracia remained frozen in disbelief at the surprises she was getting from her friend and boss."Slow down, dear," Dave said as he grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the liquid from Aurora's lips, his gaze locking with hers."We..." Aurora began, wanting to clarify the truth."We will get married after Aurora finishes her studies, Mommy," Dave interjected quickly.It was futile to argue, so Aurora decided to go along with the drama Dave had created. "It seems like I need to learn acting now," she muttered to herself as she forced a smile towards Sekar and Ferdinan."As long as you both can maintain proper conduct, it's fine by

Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 208. Last Part
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
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 204. Seminar Proposal
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

Laura completed her makeup exams without any issues. Everything went according to the schedule set by their respective course instructors. And semester 6 ended with a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.6, alongside Arabella, her close friend and now her sister-in-law.Laura spent her semester break learning to cook with her mother-in-law, Liana. 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
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 201. Operation
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
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 200. Laura's Disease
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
