Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 95. Crush 2
Dave covered his head with his jacket and dashed through the drizzling rain, heading towards his parked car. Aurora watched Dave until his car disappeared at the intersection of the housing complex. She closed the door and quickly locked it from the inside. Her body suddenly felt like jelly, melting behind the door as she gripped her chest tightly. Perhaps, in the past, Aurora had been in love with Andra. But with Dave, there was an unfamiliar and undefined feeling that was much stronger.She gently caressed her lips with her fingertips, feeling the lingering softness of Dave's lips that had made her feel like she was floating on clouds, the warmth coursing through her veins as she remembered their beautiful first kiss."I love you, Mr. Double-Door Fridge," she murmured while covering her face with her hands out of embarrassment.***The next morning, precisely at 7 a.m., Dave's car had already entered Aurora's driveway. He purposely arrived early because he wanted to have breakfast w

Dave parked his car right in front of Aurora's faculty building. Dave waited for Aurora to bid farewell, but she remained in her silence, leaving Dave puzzled. He didn't know how to make the girl beside him not angry with him anymore. Dave used to date around frequently, but he had never been in a serious relationship. Before he met Nadine, love was just empty words to him. However, everything changed after he met and fell in love with Nadine; she became the center of his life. But when Brian reentered Nadine's life, Dave felt threatened and was determined to eliminate Brian forever.Dave still observed Aurora as she retrieved a navy blue sleeveless cardigan from her bag and casually put it on before finally getting out of the car without acknowledging Dave.Brak... The car door closed loudly. Dave let out a heavy sigh as he watched Aurora walk towards the second-floor staircase. Dave's eyes widened when he saw Aurora turn towards a guy who was calling her, likely one of her classmate

Aurora admitted that aside from being smart and articulate, Delon possessed strong leadership skills. Unfortunately, Aurora and Delon had never fallen in love with each other, despite many hoping they would date due to their closeness and compatibility. Physically, Delon was quite handsome with his typical Indonesian, tanned complexion. Aurora often compared him to the Indonesian actor Nicholas Saputra, either because of their similar looks or something else. Delon himself never protested; in fact, he often put on a fake handsome face in front of Aurora."Sorry, I have to go back now," Aurora said while ruffling Delon's hair, intentionally making him even more annoyed. Just as Aurora reached the open classroom door, her steps halted as she saw the annoying figure of Kenzi waiting in front of the classroom. She immediately turned back and approached Delon. Delon raised an eyebrow, observing Aurora's anxious expression.Delon quickly secured the straps of his backpack over his shoulders

Seeing the sudden melancholy in Aurora's face, Dave chuckled, enjoying teasing the girl in his arms. Sensing Aurora's attempt to loosen their embrace, Dave held her even tighter."Nadine is the only woman I've loved all this time," Dave said softly. He wanted to be honest about his past so there would be no misunderstandings later. Dave felt Aurora's body tense before he continued his story."I met her by chance at a small clinic in Samarinda. I happened to have a project there for a week. I saw her crying while holding a toddler who was weak and ill in her arms. The toddler was suffering from dengue fever, and his platelet count was dangerously low. The doctor recommended transferring him to the city hospital for more comprehensive medical treatment. The distance from the clinic to the city hospital was quite far, and the only ambulance the clinic had was on its way to the city hospital with a critical patient. The toddler needed urgent medical attention. So, out of humanity, I convi

Aurora took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before nodding and smiling at Dave. They walked side by side into the house, and Aurora occasionally glanced at the man beside her, who appeared calm unlike herself, who felt extremely nervous. Just as they were about to knock on the door, Anton emerged from the garage, dressed casually. His eyes widened when he saw his cousin with the tattooed man again.Anton's sharp gaze focused on Dave, who greeted him with a friendly smile. Dave extended his hand to introduce himself, but Anton immediately rejected it and pulled Aurora to his side. He held Aurora's wrist tightly, causing her to wince in pain, which instantly ignited Dave's anger. His jaw clenched, and his hand balled into a tight fist, struggling to contain his emotions. The warm, welcoming expression he had shown earlier now turned dark and cold.Seeing Dave beginning to lose his temper, Anton smirked slyly. In his heart, Anton acknowledged the man's masculinity standing before him, m

Dave felt relieved after meeting Aurora's uncle and aunt who welcomed him warmly, even though he hadn't yet received their blessing to marry Aurora. However, the warm reception from Alan and Erika only strengthened Dave's resolve to win over Aurora's parents. As for Anton, Aurora's cousin who openly disliked him, Dave didn't bother dwelling on it. He understood that Anton's protective attitude was natural for an older brother towards his younger sister. If Dave were in Anton's position, he would also be the front-line protector for Daveina with all his heart and strength, and he wouldn't hesitate to stand up against anyone who dared to harm his sister."Dave, can I take you to the airport?" Aurora asked as Dave's car entered her house's driveway."You can stay at home; one of the café employees will take me to the airport. Don't worry, I'll try to come every Saturday and Sunday," Dave replied, turning off the car's engine and looking

Dave played with his phone on the table, lost in thought. A smile spread across his face as he pressed a sequence of digits that were stored only in his memory. "I need your help," Dave said after the call was connected. After explaining the task to the person he called, Dave promptly disconnected and cleared the remaining conversation.***Alan approached Erika, who was sitting leaning against the back of the bed, her face displaying a dominant sense of unease. Alan smiled gently and sat beside Erika, holding her hand tightly. Alan knew what Erika was thinking about right now, who else but the man who had come with their niece, Aurora, earlier this evening."You must be thinking about Dave, right? I'm sure we're both thinking the same thing. That man looks so much like our friend, Ferdinand, doesn't he?" Alan said, instantly making Erika nod with a mix of anxiety and curiosity."Don't

Little did Aurora expect that the next morning her mother would call as usual, as if nothing had happened. Her mother didn't ask at all about Dave's visit to her uncle and aunt; instead, her mother's voice sounded incredibly cheerful. Maria, her mother, only asked about her well-being and informed her that she couldn't visit Yogyakarta for the time being due to her father's work commitments.On campus, before classes started, Aurora walked to the Faculty of Economics building to meet Arabella, her sister-in-law. Aurora was curious if her parents had already called her sister and asked about Dave. However, once again, Aurora was left stunned as Arabella explained that her parents had indeed called but only to inquire about her and express their longing for Baby Azka, their grandchild, as usual.After being disappointed with Arabella's explanation, Aurora hurriedly returned to her faculty building. Her class would start in 10 minutes. However,

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

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
