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
Pedro immediately took Camila to the obstetrician-gynecologist to have her condition checked, even though Camila had been refusing before. But there was no other way but to comply with the insistent man beside her, who kept hugging her tightly. Meanwhile, Camila could only lean her head on Pedro's shoulder because the pain she felt truly made her feel very dizzy.A nurse called her name, prompting Pedro to help Camila enter the room and sit her down in a chair facing the doctor."You can lie down there right away, I'll examine you," the doctor said, making Pedro assist Camila to lie down so the doctor could examine her immediately. Pedro waited anxiously. It felt like a long time, causing Pedro to glance at the examination room several times, until finally waiting for a few minutes for the doctor to come out with Camila, who still had a pale face."How is it, doc?" Pedro asked, making the doctor, who was writing a prescription, occasionally glance at Camila."Do you experience this mu
Pedro walked slowly to Camila's hospital room, seeing her still sound asleep with the IV tube now attached to her wrist. After that, he pulled the chair beside the bed and sat down, gazing at Camila's pale face. Although not as pale as before, Pedro somehow still remembered how he first saw Camila stumbling on the sidewalk.Initially, Pedro was going to visit Leo to report on some work that couldn't be discussed over the phone. However, on the way, Pedro suddenly saw a very familiar woman. At first, Pedro doubted it was Camila, but as he approached, it turned out to be her, especially when he saw Camila about to fall, prompting Pedro to quickly get out of the car and run towards her, catching Camila's trembling body. Seeing her very pale face made Pedro's heart tighten. Of course, he couldn't just stand by and watch the woman who was now close to him like that. Pedro immediately took Camila to the hospital, and here they were.Pedro then reached out, gently touching Camila's forehead,
Camila then pulled away, releasing their lips, before she realized what she had just done. Camila felt like she had been slapped by reality. She had completely realized what she had just done. She had just kissed Pedro so casually, making the man in front of her even silent, looking at her with raised eyebrows."I really have been too bold," Camila thought, cursing herself. Reading Camila's embarrassment, she finally lowered her face, feeling very embarrassed in front of Pedro."Forgive me," Camila whispered, about to move away from Pedro, but suddenly Pedro reached out his hand and held Camila's nape, making Camila blink her eyes several times."Why do you have to apologize?" Pedro asked, making Pedro approach again with their very close distance, their noses almost touching."Sorry, for being so bold with you," Camila replied again, lacking the courage to return Pedro's scrutinizing gaze. Somehow, although Camila felt uncomfortable, Pedro liked her expression just now, Camila really
Pedro looked towards Camila, whose attitude suddenly changed drastically, distancing herself, making Pedro unsure if his answer was wrong."You should just go home. I'll be fine at the hospital alone. Besides, the surgery is still scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Didn't you say you have a lot of work?" Camila said, subtly dismissing Pedro, making Pedro sigh deeply.Camila was about to turn around to go back to resting her body, but Pedro immediately pulled her shoulder, then hugged her tightly."Can you hear my heartbeat?" Pedro asked, making Camila silent, then feeling what Pedro said. His heartbeat. Pedro's heartbeat beat in sync with theirs, beating very fast, the same as what Camila was feeling right now. Camila only knew that Pedro was also pounding like she felt."Do you know why this heart is beating so fast?" Pedro asked again, making Camila silent."Can you help answer it? Because I'm not good at putting words together to convince a woman," Pedro said, still in the posit
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
