It could be said that Aurora's condition today is much better. After receiving treatment and taking medication as prescribed, she can feel that her health has improved and gradually returned to normal as it used to be.
Still accompanied by Elenna, Aurora is sitting in front of the wardrobe this afternoon, arranging her clothes into the suitcase. Packing some items she wants to bring for traveling in the near future.
"Are you sure you want to go alone?"
Elenna reassured again. Still anxious about the decision made by the princess.
After discussing with both parents and her younger sibling last night, Aurora finally heeded her mother's advice. She decided to take a break. Asking for time to calm herself until all the recent problems are resolved as she hoped.
"If that's your decision, please go ahead. I, Mom, and Dad will fully support you."
After the discussion, Asher expressed his opinion. Knowing that his sister was sick due to too much str
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Alden seemed focused on driving as he had to take his mother to one of the hotels. As far as he remembered, there was a birthday celebration event today that they had to attend.Upon arrival, Alden helped his mother open the car door. But instead of letting him go after that, his mother held him back and invited Alden to come inside."You have to accompany Mom inside."Alden was surprised. This wasn't what they agreed on at home."Why does Alden have to accompany Mom? Usually, Mom also comes by herself to every celebration or gathering. Why does Alden have to come now?"Zendaya seemed indifferent. She didn't let go of her son's arm."The thing is, Aunt Riana is celebrating her birthday today. Mom feels bad if you don't come along. She invited both of us."Alden was even more surprised. Only now did he know that it was his mother Regina's birthday."But, Ma. I already have plans. If I don't hurry, I'll be l
Alden: Honey, can you wait a little longer? Mom is still having a hard time being left alone. I'll leave in five minutes and come to pick you up right away.Alden: Just a moment, Sweetheart. Sorry for being late.Aurora took a slow breath after rereading the short message Alden sent an hour ago. Checking her gold Aigner watch wrapped around her left wrist, the time showed twenty minutes past six.Initially, Aurora intended to remain patient. She even tried to contact Alden, but he didn't pick up several of her calls.Convinced that there was no hope of meeting her lover today, Aurora decided to leave the restaurant immediately. She contacted Asher, who happened to be on standby not far from where she was.Five minutes later, while waiting in the lobby, Aurora spotted Asher arriving with his favorite black Rubicon."Are we really going straight to the airport? Don't you want to wait a bit first?" she asked.While fastening her seatbelt
Alden didn't waver his gaze away from his mother. Intentionally sitting face-to-face, he waited earnestly for his mother to provide an explanation.Disappointment was clearly etched on Alden's handsome face. Since the beginning, when his mother asked him to keep his distance from Aurora, he had worked hard to explain. He tried to reassure that without needing to distance or end the relationship, he would resolve the ongoing issues.Truly, Alden didn't expect his mother to do what she did. Because she couldn't make him stay away, suddenly she went to Aurora and asked her to grant her request."For God's sake, what Mama did was way out of line."Alden spoke up again. He waited for Zendaya to speak, but she seemed content to remain silent for a while."Mama says she's doing all this for my happiness?" Then he chuckled bitterly. "But Mama's doing all this for her own sake.""Alden, enough!"Zendaya finally responded. The middle-aged woman
Ultimately, Alden had to admit Dilan's words were true, that holding back longing was indeed very difficult. It had only been three days since he hadn't met or communicated with Aurora, yet it felt so agonizing.Even though he knew Aurora would never reply, almost every day Alden still tried to send messages. He told her about his activities, hoping that perhaps her phone would suddenly become active and then Aurora would read what he sent, stirring her heart to respond.Admittedly, the likelihood of that was very slim, especially since Asher had repeatedly confirmed that Aurora needed time to be alone."Doc, don't look so gloomy and sad."Velia intervened. At that moment, she saw Alden sitting in the hospital cafeteria lost in thought. She approached him and offered a box of cakes and snacks she had just bought from the market."Eat first. To boost your spirits. Otherwise, we might find Doctor Alden fainting in the operating room."Alden lo
Of all the days, let's say today is the most awaited day for Asher.After gathering ample evidence, assisting in the investigation, and engaging in lengthy discussions, finally, what Asher has been striving for can soon be realized.Truly, from the outset of knowing the turmoil happening in Aurora's household, Asher has been fed up and wants to resolve it immediately without any residue. But, because Aurora is overly kind, the significant real problem was left untouched, with the excuse of granting forgiveness and a chance simultaneously.And, what happened in the end?Aurora's kindness was instead betrayed. Instead of being grateful for the chance to improve herself, Savana acted up. It started with the attack at the hospital. Then it continued with the slanderous accusations that the old woman spread to everyone.Perhaps, Savana felt on top of the world. The slander she spread actually managed to influence Alden's mother and ultimately led her to a
Alden had just finished showering. As soon as he heard the phone ringing, he hurriedly ran towards the nightstand. Lately, he had always been enthusiastic when his phone rang.Often, Alden hoped it was Aurora calling him, although the likelihood was very slim.When he checked, Asher's name was clearly displayed on the phone screen. Realizing that this was an important call, he quickly answered."Alden, where are you?" Without even saying hello, Asher immediately asked, ensuring once again where Alden was currently located."I'm still at the apartment. Why, Ash?""Can you come meet me right now?""Meet you?" Alden repeated. His brow furrowed with curiosity as to where Asher was inviting him to meet. From the tone of his voice, Alden guessed the man seemed to be in a hurry."Yes. Come meet me at the place we discussed before."Alden nodded. He understood what Asher meant. It seemed that Aurora's brother was indeed inviting him to meet at one of the restaurants where their mother attende
"What? Living abroad?"Alex had just finished showering and was getting ready for breakfast. Just as he settled his body, he received news that immediately made him seriously wonder."Yes. Mom has made an agreement with Asher, Aurora's younger brother. Next week, Mom has to leave for Turkey. Can Mom really move there alone?"Alex still couldn't accept it. Even though his mother seemed so pleading, it felt very burdensome to grant such a request.Besides, starting a new life over there would take Alex quite some time to adjust. Even though he had lived there before and had many relatives, it still felt difficult."How am I supposed to move to Turkey? I just got accepted to work at one of the foreign companies, and the position matches what I chose.""Then, are you just going to leave Mom there alone?"Alex sighed. He felt torn."Isn't there a lot of Mom's relatives there? Almost our entire extended family is there, right? Besides, why Turkey?""Well, what else can I do?" Savana replied
"Geez, seriously! Turns out you've been lying to me all this time."In one of the cafes, Regina grumbled angrily. She didn't care if there were some customers who were watching her that afternoon.After previously avoiding, even seemingly intentionally not wanting to respond, only today did Regina manage to meet Nicole. And even that, their meeting happened as if by accident.Initially, Regina wanted to have lunch. Because God was being kind, she was brought together with her friend in the same place."Gina, can you speak softly, please? It's embarrassing to be stared at by so many people!"Nicole glanced around. From the corner of her eye, she realized that other cafe patrons were watching because of the commotion Regina had caused."Let them! Let everyone hear and know."Nicole sighed in annoyance. She pulled Regina, who was standing, to sit in the available chair next to her. However, she was embarrassed to be the center of attention of so many people."Come here, sit. Speak proper
