Camila immediately straightened up when she realized Pedro was standing in front of her under the umbrella being showered by the pouring rain. Camila blinked several times, trying to ensure that the man in front of her wasn't just a figment of her imagination, until Camila was sure that it was indeed Pedro standing before her."What do you mean?" Camila asked, confirming her words. Pedro then stepped closer, leaving Camila speechless and unable to move."Your feelings aren't in vain," Pedro said, deepening the furrows on Camila's forehead, further perplexing her with his words."One month. During that time, I want to understand my own feelings, so for the remaining time, I want to try to determine if I also have the same feelings for you, or at least during that month, let's build a closer relationship," Pedro said, causing Camila's eyes to widen in disbelief at Pedro's decision."One month," Camila murmured. It was the time she had left here before moving to California, and Camila ha
Pedro glanced at the invitation card on his table as Leo placed it there."What's this?" Pedro asked, looking at Leo, who was now sitting in the chair opposite him."It's an invitation letter for our company, more specifically for me," Leo said, causing Pedro to furrow his brow."So, why are you giving it to me?" Pedro asked again, not understanding Leo's actions."I can't go. Tonight, I have to accompany Alana and the twins. I can't bear to leave Alana alone to take care of the twins later tonight," Leo said, making Pedro lean back and look at his friend."And?" Pedro asked."So, can you represent me?" Leo said, making Pedro exhale roughly."You know as well, I don't enjoy the hustle and bustle of parties," Pedro said."I know. But still, it's not like you can refuse when your boss can't go, so the secretary has to go," Leo said, making Pedro grumble in annoyance."What if you go to the party and I accompany Alana at home?" Pedro suggested, making Leo immediately throw a folder towar
Camila looked at the dresses hanging in front of her. Actually, just being in this place made Camila feel insecure because she rarely went to places like this before, especially a boutique where the price of one dress alone was equivalent to several months of her salary. Camila glanced at Pedro, who was now waiting for her while busy with his phone.Earlier, Camila had refused Pedro's offer, citing that she had a suitable dress that she was sure wouldn't embarrass her. But Pedro insisted again that he was giving the dress as a thank you gesture, and Camila could wear it or not, it was up to her.Camila looked at the rows of dresses in front of her, with a waiter following her around."I'm actually confused about which dress to choose," Camila said with a awkward smile to the waiter, who responded with a warm smile."I can help you. What kind of dress are you looking for?" the waiter asked, making Camila think."I actually prefer something not too flashy, something that suits my body s
Camila stepped out of Pedro's car, but her movement halted when Pedro also got out of the car, causing Camila to blink a few times."Thank you for driving me," Camila said, making Pedro walk towards her."You still seem uncomfortable speaking casually with me," Pedro said, making Camila remain silent because she did find it a bit difficult to speak casually with the man in front of her who always seemed so dominant."Well then, I'll go now," Camila said, making Pedro nod. But as Camila took a step, Pedro followed her, causing Camila to stop again."Where are you going?" Camila asked."Of course, to escort you to your apartment. Where else?" Pedro answered, making Camila furrow her brow."To my apartment?" Camila asked, to which Pedro nodded, making Camila wonder why Pedro was following her to her apartment."Wasn't your foot hurt because of the coffee earlier? So I need to make sure you safely reach your apartment," Pedro said, making Camila finally understand his intention. Camila th
Pedro immediately turned around when the door to his apartment behind him opened. After that, he fell silent for a moment, for some reason, as if transfixed by the appearance of a woman that even made him freeze for a while. The dress he had previously chosen turned out to fit Camila perfectly. Her petite figure wrapped in the simple yet elegant dress made Pedro feel as if he were praising himself for his ability to choose a dress for Camila. But it wasn't just that that kept Pedro silent. One reason was when he saw the subtle makeup on Camila's face, adding a blush to both sides, making Camila look even more enchanting in Pedro's eyes, until Camila's voice made Pedro blink a few times to snap out of it."I'm ready, shall we go now?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod."Of course," Pedro replied. After that, without a word, Pedro walked ahead of Camila, while Camila felt nervous as she slowly followed Pedro's steps into the elevator, making the awkward atmosphere between them even more pa
Pedro and Camila remained silent for a while, enjoying the evening party, until Pedro finally looked at Camila, who had been quiet for some time."Are you feeling bored?" Pedro asked, making Camila just purse her lips. Camila didn't dare to say that she was really bored at the moment, but she remained silent because she didn't want to discomfort Pedro. However, it seemed that Pedro noticed Camila's gestures, as he now got up from his seat. Then, he reached out his hand and took Camila's wrist."Where are we going?" Camila asked, as they couldn't possibly leave the party right away since they had just arrived a few minutes ago."To somewhere with fewer people. I know you must be feeling crowded, right?" Pedro said, making Camila finally fall silent, following Pedro's steps that led them to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden illuminated by several pretty lights. There was no one else on the balcony, just them, making Camila finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because what Ped
Camila blinked a little as Pedro still didn't seem to move away from her, even though he had successfully released the stuck seatbelt. This made Camila even hold her breath for a moment. For some reason, the atmosphere around them suddenly became very warm, making Camila unable to speak, while Pedro was captivated by Camila's beautiful face, her small nose, full lips, and her eyes that always seemed to sparkle, unconsciously bringing his face closer until Camila felt their noses touching.The next moment, Camila could feel their lips merging into a kiss, making her heart beat faster, even feeling like her heart might leap out of her chest at any moment, especially when Pedro started to move his lips, gently sucking on her bottom lip, causing Camila to reflexively grip Pedro's shoulder, feeling the rush of every heartbeat that made her body tremble.Likewise, Pedro reached out his hand to cup the back of Camila's neck to deepen their kiss. They shared several more kisses until Pedro st
Camila writhed from her sleep as she felt something painful in her stomach, prompting her to immediately get out of bed. However, she was shocked to feel that her bed was slightly damp. It turned out Camila was getting her period. This prompted her to get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom to clean herself and change her bedsheet.Camila walked over to the bedside, grabbed a calendar, and marked it as she always did for each menstrual cycle. Her goal was to keep track of the interval between the previous month and the coming month. Camila then lay back down. However, for some reason, she couldn't close her eyes. Her stomach felt excruciatingly painful, even though she had experienced it quite often before. But tonight, it felt particularly intense. Camila tried to sit back up. It seemed she needed medicine to alleviate the pain. However, for some reason, Camila couldn't find it."I seem to have forgotten to buy it," murmured Camila, walking slightly bent over to ease the pain. S
This time, Camila walked while holding her uncle's hand, Charlotte's husband. He was a tall man, with blonde hair and striking blue eyes, leading her towards the altar, where Pedro was waiting for her with a beaming smile, making Camila's heart beat faster. Even if Danmonte didn't hold Camila's hand tightly, she would have stepped on her long dress several times because of nervousness. Somehow, his slow steps felt very fast.Until finally, they arrived right in front of the altar, where Pedro immediately reached out his hand, causing Camila to reach out her hand and greet him, prompting Pedro to immediately pull Camila up to the altar, where they would make their sacred vows for a lifetime, witnessed by some important guests attended only by friends and the closest people to Pedro and Camila.Making the sacred vows for life, always faithful in joy or sorrow, always faithful in sickness and in health, they expressed their vows wholeheartedly, living to complement each other until death
Camila stared at the large mirror in front of her, her heart pounding, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her body was now adorned in a beautiful long white dress, clinging gracefully to her figure, accompanied by makeup enhancing her face. This made Camila purse her lips, finally gazing upon herself as the bride she had dreamed of becoming.Her reverie was interrupted when someone entered, causing Camila to smile broadly. "Aunt," Camila said, as Charlotte walked in wearing a white dress clinging to her body as Pedro had described. Although her aunt was in her fifties, she truly looked like a woman in her thirties. Charlotte then approached Camila, looking at her niece with teary eyes."I never imagined my niece, whom I've taken care of since she was little, would grow up to be so beautiful, even becoming a stunning bride," Charlotte said, making Camila blush, only able to lower her head. Charlotte then reached out her hand and lifted Camila's face."You're truly beautiful. Just l
Pedro, Camila, Leo, and Alana are currently discussing the plans for Pedro and Camila's wedding, which will be held one week from now after Leo called Alana enthusiastically, who immediately agreed and promised to prepare the wedding for them. Alana asked Leo to bring Pedro and Camila to their home, and this is where they are currently discussing the dream wedding that Pedro and Camila have been longing for."I think it's better to do it indoors," Pedro said, but Camila immediately shook her head."No, I think it will be more sacred and special if we do it outdoors," Camila said, causing Pedro to turn and look at her."Darling, if we do it outdoors, the weather isn't always favorable, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's hot. Do you want our wedding blessing to suddenly be interrupted by rain? What about the guests and others? We can't just rush to avoid the rain, can we?" Pedro said, making Camila pinch his cheek playfully."But isn't there a tent we can use for outdoor events?" Camila
Leo barged straight into Pedro's room, suddenly, without even knocking, and saw Pedro looking like he hadn't slept for a week."What's up with you? Suddenly applying for leave for next week? Where are you going for a whole week?" Leo asked, seeing the leave letter submitted by his secretary."And what about you? You look really disheveled," Leo asked Pedro again, who was now sitting in front of him."Can I ask for your help?" Pedro suddenly asked, causing Leo to look at him with raised eyebrows."Looks like my guess was right, you've got a problem?" Leo guessed again."It's not really a big problem. I don't know, I could call it a problem or a blessing," Pedro said, making Leo just stare at him with a questioning look, wondering what he meant."A few days ago, after the dinner event at your place, I immediately called Camila's aunt and told her about my intention to propose to her, and also said that Camila's trip to California was canceled. And unexpectedly, she flew here right away
Pedro and Camila sat in silence, their faces tense as they occasionally glanced at the woman in front of them who was looking around."Is this your house?" the middle-aged woman in front of them asked."Yes, this is my house," Pedro answered, still with a tense atmosphere on their faces."What do you do to afford such a big house?" she asked again, making Camila immediately look at Pedro, then turning back to the woman sitting in front of her, a fashionable middle-aged woman who still looked like she was in her thirties, she was Camila's aunt named Charlotte."Aunt, Pedro is a secretary at Samudra Group. Do you know about that big company?" Camila asked, trying to explain a little bit about Pedro. After returning from dinner at Leo's house the next day, Camila and Pedro planned to tell Charlotte about their relationship. And what they didn't expect was that Charlotte immediately flew over to meet Camila and Pedro. Of course, she didn't agree with Camila's sudden plan. Charlotte said t
Pedro stopped his car right outside Leo's residence, but as he was about to step out of the car, Camila suddenly pulled the end of his jacket."Why?" Pedro asked, making Camila look at him with hesitation."I'm embarrassed," Camila said, making Pedro just purse his lips. Then, he reached out his hand and gently caressed Camila's cheek."Why be embarrassed? Weren't you very close to Alana before?" Pedro said, making Camila shake her head again."That's not what I'm thinking about. I'm embarrassed to meet Mr. Leo and to know that they already know about your proposal plans," Camila said, feeling anxious, making Pedro once again give her a reassuring smile. Pedro was captivated by the glow on both sides of his future wife's face, looking very beautiful tonight after Pedro had truly explained all his plans to Leo, even though Leo had guessed them beforehand. But Leo pretended not to know and treated the news as a surprise. That's why Leo and Alana decided to invite Pedro and Camila for di
Pedro fell silent, gazing at Camila who now only lowered her head."What does that shake of your head mean? Is it a sign that you're rejecting my proposal?" Pedro asked, causing Camila to raise her face again, looking into Pedro's pleading eyes."It's not like that," Camila said, causing Pedro to raise an eyebrow."Then what's your answer?" Pedro asked."Of course, I would gladly accept your proposal, but there's something bothering me. I'm still not sure about what you feel for me. It's hard to believe that you could declare your proposal so quickly, especially when we still have two weeks to get to know each other," Camila said, unable to meet Pedro's gaze as he now only looked at their intertwined fingers."Love doesn't require much time to settle in someone's heart. Imagine, initially I didn't think I would develop feelings for you, but when I learned about your feelings for me, I started to open my heart. And I also feel surprised, usually I never easily open my heart to other wo
Pedro stared at Camila with furrowed brows."What's wrong? I'm just giving my opinion on the movie we're watching," Pedro said, causing Camila to sigh deeply."I'm not blaming you for having an opinion about this movie, but can we not judge them based solely on scenes like that?" Camila said, feeling like Pedro was intentionally bringing up such scenes."What's wrong with that?" Pedro asked, seemingly wanting to corner Camila further."I don't know, but it's better if we just go back to watching. Besides, the scene has already passed. Look, they're not kissing anymore," Camila said, then fell silent while looking at Pedro, who was staring at her mischievously. Somehow, she had clearly mentioned the scene, making Camila close her eyes in embarrassment."You're the one who mentioned the scene so explicitly. Alright, now that they're done with their acting, I'm curious. What if we do it now?" Pedro suddenly said, making Camila widen her eyes."What?" Camila said, but her words were cut o
Camila, who was engrossed in watching the drama she had been eagerly anticipating, was suddenly startled when Pedro sat right next to her, causing Camila to furrow her brow as she glanced at him."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod briefly."Well, I was planning to rest, but it turns out I'm not sleepy yet, so I thought I'd just keep you company and watch with you," Pedro said, causing Camila to fall silent and choose to return her gaze to the flat screen in front of her. Of course, at the moment, she was watching a romantic drama about love. Camila wasn't sure if Pedro would like the drama she was currently watching, but several minutes passed and Pedro remained faithfully seated beside her, not budging at all, causing Camila to hesitantly glance at Pedro who was focused on the movie in front of him. Could he actually enjoy films like this with a romantic drama vibe? Camila wondered as she looked at him with raised eyebrows, but from his appearance, Pe
