"I'm going to work first, honey. If you need anything, call me immediately."
Aurora smiled. Before actually letting Mario go, he didn't forget to hug his husband's body once again tightly. Unraveling it, then slightly tiptoe to be able to kiss the man's lips.
"I really love you, Mario," Aurora whispered suddenly after kissing her husband. Of course that expression made Mario a little confused. Aurora wasn't usually as outspoken and sentimental as she was this morning.
"Hey ... I really love you too, honey. From the past, now, and until later. That feeling will never change one bit for you."
Aurora smiled. Nod. Not one bit doubted that expression. If not love, how could Mario want to wait for so long. In fact, the man was willing to take pains to approach, to fight for, until he finally won Aurora's heart after all this time.
"Yes, I know about that, Mario. I'm sure you really love me."
"And love our future baby too, of course," added Mario, adding to Aurora's words. "What is certain is that you two are my life, my life, and also my spirit. Never ever intend to leave let alone leave my side."
"Gosh, Mario," Tristan scolded before Aurora gave a response to what the man said. Maybe you are sick or lazy to linger seeing intimate scenes that are presented directly without the slightest censorship in front of him. "Can you just make out in your room? Not in the living room like this? I feel uncomfortable looking at it. It feels like the world only belongs to the two of you."
Aurora immediately chuckled. He came closer, then pinched the arm of the man he already considered like his biological brother. Why is it still so early in the morning like this already talking a lot as if asking him to go to war?
"You are very talkative, Tristan. In fact, you used to be crazier than what we did. Don't forget, you also often make love to the point of making love to Sophia in the living room without caring about other people. I just don't protest about what you do. "
Tristan sighed. He meant to make fun of Aurora and Mario, in the end he was the one who got teased back. However, because of Aurora's previous words, he remembered the times when he made up with Sophia, often spending time together indiscriminately, and often making love, even though there were people around them.
"Ah, never mind. Why are you even discussing about me and Sophia?"
"You started it. I'm just giving a response so you don't forget yourself," Aurora debated, not wanting to lose.
Mario who listened immediately laughed. Realizing that it was getting late, he took the initiative to quickly say goodbye before it got too late for him and Tristan to go to work.
"Again, I'm leaving for work first. Later, after the meeting or at lunch time, I'll call you."
Aurora nodded with a smile.
"Yes, honey. Take care. If I can't be contacted later, I hope you won't worry. It seems like today I'm going out to go to the salon. Or, if I'm too lazy to go anywhere, I want to spend the day taking a nap all day." ."
Mario nodded. Grabbing Aurora's body to then hug her briefly. Satisfied, he kissed Aurora's forehead and lips alternately, then said goodbye to leave.
"See you later, Aurora."
"I will miss you very much, Mario."
Then, Mario really went to the car and then went with Tristan. Aurora just kept watching. Until finally Mario's shadow disappeared from view, without feeling the tears falling down his cheeks.
Holding back tears, Aurora hurriedly stepped into the room. Enter, then lock the door tightly, and then get ready to leave.
After she had tidied up all the important items into her bag, Aurora waited for a moment, until she finally heard a call from outside the room.
"Aurora... are you in there?"
Aurora quickly got up. Step towards the door, then open it.
"Sophia, what's wrong?" Aurora asked casually. Even so, he knew the schedule of the woman who would go to visit her parents' house this morning.
"I'll be out for a while. Maybe later this afternoon or evening I'll be back with Tristan. Do you have no problem with me staying home alone?"
Aurora smiled.
"You don't need to worry, Sophia. Aren't Samantha and the other assistants there? Besides, I also got Mario's permission to be out this afternoon. I have a few things I want to buy."
"Ah, I see. Then I'll go first. You be careful. If you need company, just ask Alexius to escort you."
Sophia then said goodbye. Hugging Aurora briefly before finally walking towards the car, then left.
Believing that there was no one else, Aurora immediately changed her clothes. Not forgetting after sitting for a while in front of the dresser, to write something down on a piece of paper, then neatly tuck it under one of her favorite perfume bottles.
After making sure everything was ready, Aurora picked up her shopper bag and left the room. As he expected, there was a figure of Samantha who was cleaning the room at that time and immediately reprimanded her, seeing her about to leave.
"You want out, madam?"
"Yes, I want to go out, Samantha."
"Would you like me to ask the driver to prepare the car?"
Aurora shook her head.
"No need. I was picked up by one of my friends."
Samantha simply nodded. A few minutes later, the car that had picked up Aurora finally arrived and took the woman away immediately.
Meanwhile, throughout the journey, Aurora was silent. After 30 minutes, he finally arrived at his destination. Also, as soon as he got out of the car, there was already a male figure who had been waiting for his arrival.
"Finally you arrived, Aurora. Papa is happy, you finally made the right choice."
James Franklin Harald seemed to smile broadly. He was really happy because the persuasion he conveyed to Aurora bore fruit. It was proven that his son-in-law agreed to leave Mario as soon as possible and go far away to a place where his son would not be able to find him.
"Here are all kinds of documents that you will need there later. Inside the envelope is also a blank check that you can fill in with the nominal you need later to live with your baby." Then James received another file from his assistant who was also standing not far from him and Aurora. Then, James gave the file in a hurry to his son-in-law.
"Don't forget, before you leave, you must first sign this divorce suit. Papa make sure the process will take less than a month. After that, you are free to live with any man."
Aurora took a deep breath. Grabbing the file as well as the pen that was offered to him, without saying much he immediately put a signature without the need to read the contents of the file again. It's too desperate to accept the bad luck that has befallen him lately.
"You can be counted on, Aurora," James said later. "After this you don't need to worry about Calvin's fate. Papa is sure, he will definitely find a replacement for you soon and live happily."
Aurora nodded. His tongue was too numb to respond to the hurtful words his father-in-law had just said. How could that man have the heart to separate himself and Mario. As well as ensuring that his son after separating from him will live happily.
"I hope Calvin is really happy after this. I also hope that Harald's family will no longer be ashamed of the stupid things I did before."
"Don't worry," James said back. "I can take care of that. Then. Come on in. I'm sure your plane will be taking off soon."
With reddened eyes, and feeling devastated, Aurora walked away leaving her in-laws. While in the waiting room, he took the initiative to contact Mario one last time.
"What is it, honey?" asked Mario on the other end when he received a call from Aurora.
"Nothing, I just want to say that I really love you, Mario. No matter what happens to us, I will never turn my back on you," Aurora said softly.
"Oh my God, Aurora. What's going on? Why are you sounding so mellow last night? Did something happen to you? You seem suspicious because you're acting so uncharacteristically."
"That's just your feeling. Consider it payback because I never once said anything romantic to you before."
A chuckle escaped Mario's lips. Maybe just happy for the sweet attitude that Aurora showed him.
"I love you too. I can't even wait to go home and meet you, Aurora."
"In that case, just continue with your work. I want to go first."
"All right. Be careful. Don't forget to let me know when you arrive and return home."
As soon as the call was cut off, Aurora burst into tears. Can't imagine how Mario will feel when he comes home not finding himself at home.
However, what else can I do? He has already made up his mind. It's okay for her to give in and choose to go for Mario's happiness and to protect the good name of her husband's extended family. Think of it as a reward for the stupidity he has done before.
