Alden admits, this is his dream to marry and make Aurora his life partner. Since the beginning of their relationship, he has been determined to be serious and to do his best to maintain their relationship so that it can progress to marriage.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

However, due to misunderstandings, he and Aurora had to part ways. It was even more painful to know that the person he loved so much ended up choosing and marrying another man.

Alden’s heart was shattered at that moment. It wasn’t easy for him to heal from the wound. In fact, he was so unaccepting that he prayed to God for Aurora’s marriage not to last long and to be unhappy. Never mind if his prayers were considered bad. What mattered was that he hoped the woman would return to him someday.

And, it seems that God was moved to grant Alden’s prayers that he uttered day and night. After going through hundreds of days, numerous seasons, and various obstacles, Alden finally succeeded in proposing to Aurora and making her his partner. A wife and also a future mother to their children.

Now, he even just stares in amazement. Still can’t believe that he can now share a room and even a bed with that beautiful woman.

“Why are you just staring into space? Are you okay?”

Aurora, sitting right beside Alden, asked. It had been more than five minutes since the man had just been staring silently. Observing Aurora closely without saying a word.

It’s not like Aurora was doing anything wrong. She was just worried. What if Alden was possessed or even possessed by demons because he hadn’t responded to her at all.

“Is there something wrong with me? Or is there something about my appearance that doesn’t meet your expectations?”

Aurora even held her cheeks. Who knows if there’s something strange about her face. Or maybe there’s something wrong with her that makes Alden feel uncomfortable. Aurora was certainly worried. She didn’t want her husband to feel uncomfortable on their wedding night.

“If there’s something wrong, just let me know. Don’t stay silent like this. I keep feeling guilty and confused about what to do.”

Aurora was about to get up. Just wanted to get out of bed, Alden suddenly responded. He took her hand, then held Aurora back from moving anywhere.

“Don’t go anywhere,” Alden requested while continuing to gaze at Aurora closely. “There’s nothing wrong with you either.”

Aurora frowned. She wondered why he had been silent if there was nothing wrong? She even asked twice. But, was ignored.

“So, why have you been staring blankly all this time? I’m confused about what to do if you’re unclear like this.”

Alden shook his head. His gaze was noticeably melancholic.

“You don’t need to do anything. Besides, all this time…” Alden paused for a moment to take a breath.

“All this time what?” Aurora inquired.

“All this time, I’ve been silent on purpose because I wanted to savor your beauty.”

Aurora, now stunned by Alden’s answer. For what reason, had her husband been silent for so long because he was admiring her beauty?

“Huh? What do you mean by savor?”

Alden seemed to nod slowly.

“I… for the first time, see you without a hijab. My God, I just found out that all this time you have such long and beautiful hair. Not to exaggerate, but I feel hypnotized. I never imagined that my wife is not only beautiful. But, indeed incredibly beautiful.”

Aurora blushed with a flushed face. What had her husband been created from? He was so clever at melting her heart, both in words and actions.

“Exaggerating.”

“No,” Alden defended himself. “I’m not trying to flatter you to win your heart. Besides, why bother with flattery? After all, you’re already my wife, right?”

Alden’s words had truth in them. He had always been honest and never exaggerated in his judgments. If it’s good, it’s good, if it’s bad, it’s bad. If he said it’s good, it means it’s really good. If he said it’s bad, it means it’s really bad. He never expressed an opinion that seemed gray or exaggerated.

“So, am I really beautiful?”

Alden nodded repeatedly. Daringly, he brought his hand to touch Aurora’s soft hair for the first time.

“Even I think you’re the most beautiful woman on this earth.”

“If that’s the case, I’m sure your words are exaggerated.”

Alden chuckled. Especially seeing Aurora’s expression as if she was about to vomit.

“That’s according to me. So, feel free to give any opinion.”

Aurora just nodded. She simply accepted her husband’s opinion.

“Anyway…” Alden continued. “I’m really grateful that I can finally be your husband.”

“Me too,” Aurora nodded along. “I am very grateful to have a handsome husband like you.”

“Just handsome?”

Aurora laughed seeing Alden’s face like someone who wasn’t satisfied.

“No, of course not. You’re handsome, stable, smart, independent, kind, understanding, responsible, kind-hearted, not arrogant, and diligent in saving money.”

This time Alden immediately pinched Aurora’s cheek fondly.

“Exaggerating. But, what we feel today is the result of prayers and efforts we have made.”

Aurora seemed to agree. But instead of responding, she brought up another topic.

“So, what are we going to do tonight? Just compliment each other? Don’t you want to do something else?”

“I was thinking, I could invite you to review journals and patient reports together.”

Aurora immediately grimaced. Just because they have the same profession, does their wedding night have to be spent discussing patients or work reports? Ridiculous.

“Eww, so lazy. Besides, don’t you want-”

Alden immediately put his index finger on Aurora’s lips. Shaking his head, he gestured for his wife not to continue speaking.

“I know. Have you-”

“I’m ready,” Aurora quickly replied. Cutting off Alden’s sentence, she gazed into her husband’s eyes intently. “I’m ready whenever you are.”

Believing that Aurora had fully surrendered herself, Alden without further ado reached for Aurora’s chin. Slowly but surely, he planted a gentle kiss. It was evident that he was trying to make her feel comfortable, and soon Aurora responded in kind.

Then, without any hesitation, Alden dared to untie the knot of Aurora’s nightgown until it came off completely. At that moment, from his eyes, he could clearly see Aurora’s body in all its beauty without any barrier.

Alden was mesmerized for a long time. Once again captivated by the beautiful sight before him. Then, not long after, Alden’s lips moved over every inch of Aurora’s body without any hesitation. He caressed and adored every part of his wife’s body as if nothing could separate them.

And Aurora enjoyed it too. She surrendered herself to Alden’s power that night. Whatever her husband wanted to do to her, she was willing. Until finally, their union happened. Signifying that they were now bound to each other.

***

Alden woke up from his sleep. Opening his eyes, he smiled. His heart warmed to find Aurora sleeping soundly in his embrace.

In his 35 years of life, this was the best moment he had ever experienced. Alden vowed to repeat something like this every day. He promised never to tire of it.

Grateful to God, Alden kissed Aurora’s forehead, then hugged her tightly. Even when he loosened his embrace a bit, he looked at Aurora’s face before planting a brief kiss on her lips. But, unexpectedly, with her eyes closed, Aurora responded to the kiss.

Alden was momentarily surprised. But afterward, he just enjoyed the kiss until finally, satisfied, Aurora herself ended it.

“You’re so happy you’re disturbing someone’s sleep.”

Aurora opened her eyes. She hugged Alden tightly. She deeply inhaled the scent of her husband’s body. Somehow, it felt addictive and calming.

“Are you still sleepy? Sorry. I just couldn’t resist waking up and finding you in my arms.”

Aurora laughed. Still hugging tightly, she responded to Alden’s earlier statement.

“Don’t worry, you’ll enjoy this new habit every day.”

“Turns out marriage is nice, huh? Having someone to accompany you while you sleep. And waking up to real morning greetings in front of your eyes.”

Aurora laughed again.

“Yes. Especially when you open your eyes and see an angel like me, right?”

“I believe,” Alden agreed without argument. “Anyway, I’m really grateful for this achievement.”

Then, Alden hugged her. He held Aurora as if he didn’t want to let go of her.

“Our flight is at two o’clock today, right?”

Aurora nodded. She certainly didn’t forget that today they were scheduled to leave for Switzerland for their honeymoon. Aurora was extremely grateful for the gift Rayyen had given.

“Yes. Fortunately, all the luggage has been prepared by Mom. So, we just need to bring our suitcases. Before we leave, let’s have lunch together with the whole extended family.”

Aurora then pulled back the blanket. She got up and stood by the bed.

“Where are you going?” Alden asked, as if reluctant for Aurora to leave his side.

“I’m going to take a shower and get ready. Besides, both of us haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“Okay. After the shower, shall we have breakfast in the room? How about that?”

“Are you coming?” Aurora asked afterward. And this ambiguous question immediately made Alden think hard.

“Coming? Coming where? Do you mean breakfast?”

Aurora smiled. She shook her head.

“No, not that.”

“Then what?”

“I mean, are you joining me for a shower?”

Alden was taken aback. He was sure he hadn’t misheard her just now.

“You mean? Shower together with you?”

Aurora nodded repeatedly.

“Yes. Are you coming?”

“Is that allowed?”

With his innocence, Alden confirmed Aurora’s offer just now. He thought, maybe his wife just wanted to tease him.

But, Aurora wasn’t playing around. She reached out her hand, then pulled Alden closer.

“Why wouldn’t it be allowed? Who’s stopping us?”

Alden shook his head.

“No one.”

“Okay then! Come on, quickly. I might change my mind.”

Alden smiled broadly. Full of confidence, he carried Aurora to the bathroom. Who asked his wife to make an offer? So, don’t blame him if this shower ritual took longer than usual.
