"Darn it!!!"

Aurora screamed loudly while in her room. She vented out the frustration that she had been holding back since earlier.

Although Aurora had already shampooed, showered, and even soaked in warm water for a while, for some reason, she still felt the sparks of emotion inside her heart not subsiding.

Since earlier, Aurora had been trying to forget. But still, the image of what happened in the car on the way home kept crossing her mind.

"Does Dr. Alden still live with Mama Zendaya? Or does he have his own place?"

Regina, sitting next to Alden, asked casually. From the beginning of the trip, she had been discussing something or the other. Truly, Aurora felt irritated just seeing the woman's behavior.

"He lives in an apartment."

Regina blinked. She turned to make sure she heard correctly.

"Seriously, now he lives alone? I thought he still lived with Mama. I remember vividly how your mom used to nag about not letting Dr. Alden study abroad because she didn't want to be far from he

    Although the conversation lasted only about 15 minutes, Aurora still felt irritated. After dropping Regina off at her destination, she chose to remain silent.Maybe because she felt something was wrong, Alden briefly explained. Before getting out of the car, he held Aurora back for a moment, then told her what he wanted to say at the café earlier today."It's not about being overconfident; I know you might feel uncomfortable and uneasy about Regina's behavior since she arrived yesterday, right?"Aurora remained silent at that moment. She wanted to honestly admit it, but she felt embarrassed."No. I'm fine."Alden smiled. He had known Aurora's character for more than a day or two. They had been close for several years. Of course, he knew her habits and gestures."Okay. But, I think it's necessary to explain this to you so you don't misunderstand. Regina and I do know each other. Besides being neighbors, our parents are also friends. When we were kids, she often stayed at our house."Au

    "Alex, what brings you here?"After a brief moment of confusion, Aurora immediately threw the question. She was a bit surprised to suddenly find Alex standing right in front of her room's door.She had been happy not to have any contact with her ex-husband. So, why did he suddenly appear like a ghost?"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you."Alex seemed visibly nervous and awkward. Perhaps he still felt guilty and uncomfortable about the wrongs he had done to Aurora."I was directed by the head pharmacist of Santa Monica Hospital to meet you."Aurora's eyebrows furrowed. She couldn't help but wonder why they asked Alex to meet her and what business they had with her."They asked you to meet me? What's it about? Is it related to the hospital or something?"Still standing facing each other, they engaged in conversation. There was no intention from Aurora to invite her ex-husband in or let him sit down first."Well, I'm currently working for a company in the medical supplies and pharmaceut

    Aurora heard humming. Her mood was indeed good this morning. Her face looked visibly cheerful as she cooked and prepared meals to take to work.There was a reason why Aurora was acting like this. It all started last night, before going to bed, when she suddenly received a call from Alden."Sorry if I'm disturbing you. Are you already asleep?"Alden asked in a soft tone. After reconnecting after a long time, this was the first time Aurora had heard his voice again through a phone call. Back in their dating days, almost every night before bed, he would make time to chat over the phone."Not yet. I'm finishing up some patient report summaries. Why are you calling all of a sudden?""Yeah, because if I send a message, I'm afraid you won't read it because you're already asleep.""No, I haven't slept yet. What's up? Is there something important?""No. I just wanted to let you know that I can't pick you up and drop you off at the hospital tomorrow morning. I have a surgery scheduled for 6 a.m

In front of her, Aurora sat, arranging some documents into the turquoise folder that was already prepared.Yet, at nine o'clock, some doctors, nurses, and several core hospital staff at Santa Monica were gathering and getting ready to leave for the two-day gathering event held in the city of Bandung.Initially, Aurora was all set to participate. She had even packed her clothes and various items she would need.However, an emergency came up that made Aurora change her plans. And Velia was disappointed by this. She had even made many plans for what she and Aurora would do together when they arrived at their destination."Yeah, I can't join. Last night the nurse on duty informed me that my patient in the NICU PICU needed to be observed today."Velia sighed deeply. It was truly disappointing that Aurora couldn't join the annual event that was guaranteed to be fun and lively.From previous years, it was c

Of course, it's a mix of emotions when suddenly finding Alden standing there, perfectly poised while throwing a smile her way.Swear to whatever, Aurora was momentarily dumbfounded. In her mind, she felt like she was dreaming. Aurora was sure that her ex-boyfriend had joined the gathering convoy this morning to head to Bandung.However, strangely, why is he suddenly in front of her now? Did something get left behind? Or is there an emergency call that made him decide to return to the hospital?"Alden... why are you here? Weren't you supposed to go to Bandung for the Gathering?"Alden still wore a smile. Stepping forward, he approached the bewildered figure of Aurora. More shocked, actually. Clearly not expecting and wondering why Alden decided to return."Earlier, on the way, Asher called. He said he needed my help tomorrow morning to handle a heart bypass operation."Alden wasn't boasting. Along the way to Bandung, his mind was indeed in turmoil.

    "Hey Aurora, how's it going? Is Alden's mom okay? And how's her attitude towards you? She didn't kick you out, did she?"Just arrived at the hospital, Velia was immediately nosy. Instead of bringing souvenirs from Bandung after attending the Gathering two days ago, the woman bombarded her with many questions.Last night, Aurora did tell Velia a bit over the phone. She informed Velia that she was invited by Alden to meet and have a meal together with his mother."Instead of bringing breakfast or souvenirs, you've been gossiping since morning."Aurora protested hastily. Why not let her sit and relax for a moment first? Just take a breath. But, she was bombarded with many questions."Sorry. I'm just curious."Velia had been curious since last night. She even had to patiently wait for Aurora to hear the story directly from her friend.However, since souvenirs were mentioned, she immediately pulled out a silver paper bag she had prepared.

    One day before Zendaya Harvey's birthday celebration, it was Alden's turn to be invited to dinner with Aurora's large family. Held at Elena's house, Asher and Chava were also present at the dinner event.Since morning, Aurora had been busy in the kitchen. Alongside Elena, they cooked themselves for the dinner to be served later, to be enjoyed together when dinner time arrived."Are you sure you cooked this much?" Elena shook her head, momentarily disbelieving at her daughter's enthusiasm in cooking so many dishes, especially when only Alden was invited."But Asher and Chava are also here, Mom. Besides, we can share this food with the other workers too. So everyone gets an equal share."Elena smiled knowingly, liking Aurora's inclusive thinking, never differentiating between family and workers; everyone was considered family and entitled to the same food."But, Aurora..." Elena interjected again. "These dishes aren't like the usual ones we cook for events. Could it be that this—""Hehe

Upon reaching the front of the room, he found Velia and Asher already standing there, waiting.Alden approached, wanting to ensure his wife's condition for himself. Despite faithfully waiting all along, he hadn't noticed anything strange about her all day. Now, he couldn't believe that Aurora had fainted like this out of the blue. If he had known something was wrong, he would have been the first to tell her to rest."Asher... Velia," Alden called out, his face still marked with worry. "How's Aurora? What happened? Why did she suddenly faint like this?"Asher shook his head, also unsure of what caused his sister to lose consciousness. Then Alden turned to Velia, who answered his curiosity."I think Aurora's just exhausted, Doc. Since this afternoon, I've noticed her looking a bit pale. She complained about back pain and seemed really tired, constantly moving from the second floor to the ground floor."

    Alden just got home around eight o'clock at night. A bit worried, the man strode quickly towards the bedroom. He had been trying to reach Aurora since earlier, but instead of getting a response, it seemed like his wife was intentionally ignoring him.Alden had asked Velia, his colleague, who said that Aurora had been home since late afternoon. Also, confirming Aurora's presence through the house assistant, they confirmed that the lady had indeed been home since then.What puzzled Alden was why Aurora was ignoring him. Was his wife busy? Resting? Or perhaps angry and upset with him?That's why Alden wanted to make sure. Rushing into the room, he found Aurora sitting on the edge of the bed, her head bowed. Faintly, he could hear sobbing coming from her."Sweetheart..."Alden quickly approached. With a puzzled feeling, he sat down in front of his wife."What's wrong?" he asked with concern, clearly anxious. Afraid that something bad might have happened to her."Why are you crying like th

    Aurora sighed wearily as she stared at the pregnancy test she held. The two red lines she had been hoping for seemed nowhere in sight, despite her numerous efforts.She wondered how many times she had tried this. It had been almost six months since she married Alden, but signs of pregnancy had yet to appear.Honestly, Aurora had been worried. There was a fear lurking in her mind that the rumors about her difficulty in conceiving might be true."Don't judge Alex. Who knows, maybe you also have difficulty getting pregnant or having children," Aurora remembered Savana's words vividly. Although they were long ago and she had initially dismissed them, recalling them now felt painful. Perhaps this was the curse Savana had given her."Just wait until after you get married. I'm sure you'll also have difficulty having children. So, don't think you're so great by blaming Alex as the reason you don't have offspring and eventually your marriage falls apart," Savana had said.Yet, Alden had tried

Truly, he wanted to enjoy the joy of life when called with endearing terms that delighted the ears.However, as his consciousness gradually faded, this time Alden felt something warm touching his lips. Opening his eyes slowly, he found Aurora, who had just finished unraveling a kiss, then smiled sweetly right in front of his face."Wake up, my dear husband. They said today we're going to pick up Mom and then accompany her to a charity event. You haven't forgotten, right?"Alden nodded. The man smiled."Yeah. I haven't forgotten. But, by the way, who was it that called me 'my dear husband'? Was it you? Or was I just dreaming?"Aurora sighed. She pinched Alden's cheek fondly. Hoping that he would realize he wasn't dreaming."That wasn't a dream, my dear husband. But yes, it was me who called you."
