After Dave had finished selecting clothes for Aurora, they headed to the food court to buy food and drinks. Dave began to feel annoyed when he realized they were becoming the center of attention among the food court's visitors. Aurora, on the other hand, was nonchalant and didn't care about Dave's irritation. She was accustomed to her status as a public figure.However, suddenly, three teenage girls approached them, greeted them hysterically, and asked for photos and selfies together."Aurora, right? I'm a big fan of Aurora! Turns out you're not just pretty in photos, you're even more beautiful in person. Oh, and your boyfriend is so handsome," one of the girls exclaimed while holding Aurora's hand with admiration. The other two girls stared at Dave with adoring eyes, making him feel uncomfortable and disgusted.Finally, Aurora accepted their photo request and then quickly left the food court before more fans arrived and they got stuck there. Seeing Dave's irritated and uncomfortable
After returning from the shopping center, Dave's demeanor went back to being the "Two-Door Fridge Uncle" – cold and freezing. Aurora chose silence as her response, gazing out at the congested traffic on the road. She just wanted to get back to Dave's house, pack her things, and return to Yogyakarta. She longed to return to her life as it was before she met Dave, to forget everything that had happened between them.Upon arriving at Dave's house, Aurora immediately went into her room and didn't come out until she and Gracia were ready to leave. Dave didn't show up as Aurora said her goodbyes to his parents. A sense of disappointment lingered in Aurora's heart. Once again, she gazed up at the second floor, hoping to catch a glimpse of Dave before leaving. At least seeing him at the front of the house would ease her mind. However, her hopes were dashed as the car that Aurora and Gracia were in left the grand estate, heading towards Juanda Airport.Once again, Aurora checked her phone, hop
In her heart, Aurora cursed herself. Gracia must have already suspected that she had fallen for Dave, even though Aurora herself was still unsure about her feelings. She admitted that she was attracted to Dave's personality, but his cold attitude during their last encounter had made her want to dismiss her feelings before they became a problem.Elsewhere, Dave was just waking up to Sekar knocking on his door, inviting him to have dinner with the family. Sekar was surprised to see Dave's disheveled bed and noticed that he was still wearing the same clothes from this morning when he went out with Aurora. Something must have happened during their time together, especially considering the melancholic look on Aurora's face when she said goodbye.Dave tied his hair up and headed into the bathroom while Sekar sat on the edge of his bed, waiting for her son to finish cleaning up. The sound of the shower came on as Sekar tidied up Dave's bed. Thud... Sekar's heart suddenly pounded as she saw a
Aurora's body froze the moment Reynald hugged her. The masculine scent of his cologne tickled her senses, and her heart raced due to their physical contact. This had happened many times between them in the past, and it never caused her heart to protest like it did now. But the difference this time was that they were meant to be set up together, and it wasn't the familiar excitement she felt with Dave, but rather an awkwardness that had suddenly crept in.Their last encounter was when they were both in 12th grade. Reynald, who stood before her now, was a far cry from the teenager she once knew. His well-built physique was evident through the black t-shirt he wore, and he appeared more mature and groomed."Um... when did you come back from Germany, Rey?" Aurora asked as she pulled away from Reynald's embrace. She averted her gaze, pretending to search for something in her bag, to avoid his penetrating eyes that held a knowing smile."I returned two days ago. I came here on purpose to se
"Who was that handsome guy, Ra? I don't think I've ever seen him before," Delon teased while shifting his chair next to Aurora's as she entered the classroom."Nosy! It's my business whom I go out with. There's no rule against it for a single and beautiful girl like me," Aurora declared, flashing a teasing smile at Delon, who pretended to gag."Pssh... You said you didn't want a boyfriend? And now you have a crush? I'm taking care of you, so you better be careful or I'll sell you out," Delon taunted with raucous laughter, earning a swift binder to his cheek from Aurora."You're such a mean friend. If my handsome face gets scratched, you'll be responsible," Aurora threatened playfully while Delon rubbed his cheek with a combination of annoyance and surprise since they hadn't noticed their lecturer entering the classroom."You're such an idiot!" Aurora retorted as she ordered Delon to move his chair back to its original position.Lost in thought, Aurora left the classroom with a downcas
A pale color immediately adhered to Aurora's beautiful face. She had forgotten to reply to a message from Anton, her cousin, asking her to come to his house three days ago. It wasn't that Aurora declined; she simply didn't want to discuss a topic she was actively avoiding. Seeing Aurora's terrified expression, Anton chuckled as he walked closer to his younger cousin."You're really naughty, you know. Mom and Dad have been waiting for your arrival at home. If anything happened to you, your parents would be furious with us," Anton said, affectionately ruffling Aurora's hair."I'm sorry, seriously, I forgot to reply to your WhatsApp message," Aurora replied, raising two fingers in a peace sign while offering a relieved smile, as Anton wasn't pressing the issue about her time in Surabaya."You owe me an explanation about the guy who was with you in Surabaya," Anton said while he affectionately draped an arm around Aurora's shoulder, leading her inside his house. Aurora could only respond
After the photoshoot in Surabaya a while back, Aurora had boldly shared her entire story with Dave to her two friends, without holding back any details. She was tired of keeping it to herself and needed their support to avoid making the wrong moves. However, their advice to forget Dave seemed so hard to follow. Every moment she spent seemed haunted by the image of the two-door refrigerator guy."Okay, I admit it, I'm IN LOVE WITH THE TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR GUY. Are you satisfied now? Go ahead and laugh all you want!" Aurora exclaimed, emphasizing her words in capital letters in the long sentence in 'The Angels' group.Laughter emojis filled Aurora's phone screen. She felt frustrated for always being the subject of their jokes. Aurora acknowledged that she had never been lucky in love, as if Lady Luck had forgotten that there was a maiden of love waiting for her prince. "Please, Cupid, aim your arrow at Mr. Two-Door Refrigerator so that he falls in love with me," Aurora said in a monolo
The two love-struck individuals remained entwined in silence, occasionally sharing smiles as they suppressed the intense pounding in their chests. Suddenly, Aurora's body jolted as thunder roared through the sky, accompanied by crystal droplets that summoned a torrential downpour. Dave grinned, seeing the orange hue that appeared on Aurora's fair cheeks when their eyes occasionally met. She had turned into a shy girl instantly, making her look even more adorable. Dave patted the empty spot on the sofa next to him, urging Aurora to move closer. However, she quickly shook her head, refusing Dave's command.A mischievous grin took over Dave's face as he decided to yield, moving to Deanona's side instead. Aurora quickly shifted her body to the edge of the sofa, and Dave followed her movements, cornering her until she couldn't escape. This time, the orange blush on Aurora's face turned pale as she imagined the intimate scenes usually depicted in foreign films she had watched. Especially no
