Chapter 21

Aurora's POV
"Aurora, I'm sorry. This is all my fault for making you like this," said Dante while stroking my hair and kissing my cheek. I felt like my cheeks were wet, was he crying? But I've never seen a man cry.
Slowly I was able to open my eyes. I saw Dante's eyes were glassy so he was really crying.
"Aurora, thank God you finally woke up," said Dante then kissed my face.
"I heard everything. It's just that I can't open my eyes." I can now also move my whole body.
"Oh yeah? Wait a minute, I'll call the doctor." Dante called the doctor and he came with the doctor.
"Thank God Mrs. Aurora is awake. Your condition is slowly getting better. As long as you don't get stressed. Moreover, you are pregnant with triplets and that will make your psyche shake faster,'' the doctor explained.
Is it just because I'm annoyed with Dante that makes me like this? This is too much. “I’m hungry.”
“What do you want to eat?” Dante asked with a worried expression.
“I want to eat hotplate chicken steak.” For some reason, I suddenly wanted to eat that.
“Okay, wait a minute, I’ll buy it for you. You don’t mind waiting a minute, right?”
I shook my head. I saw Dante leaving me. Was he too worried that he didn’t just tell his assistant to buy the steak I wanted? Especially if he had to buy it and queue at the hospital cafeteria, wouldn’t that embarrass him?
Only fifteen minutes later, Dante returned with a tray of hotplate chicken steak and avocado juice without ice. Wow, he really brought all that to me. Dante helped me, who was still having trouble sitting up, to raise the top of my bed so I could eat comfortably.
“Let me feed you,” Dante said.
I just followed suit because I couldn’t eat by myself right now. My stomach still felt cramped so I couldn’t move much.
Dante patiently fed me until the steak on the hot plate was gone without a trace. Then he gave me avocado juice. "That's enough."
I, who felt full, couldn't continue drinking my avocado juice. I could drink some more.
"Sorry, for bothering you," I said guiltily.
"No. I don't feel bothered at all. How's your stomach now? Does it still hurt?"
Ake shook his head. "Not just a little cramp. By the way, why did you come home even though it wasn't your usual closing time?" I was curious because it was still one in the afternoon when Dante usually didn't come home.
"I don't know why I felt uneasy and I called you several times but your phone was off so I thought I'd just go home and sure enough you were sick."
I was indeed grateful that Dante came home soon. If not, I don't know what would have happened to me earlier. "Oh, is that so? Luckily you came home. Thank you."
The attention I felt from Dante was something I had never imagined before. Maybe I always thought narrowly so I didn't see how he treated me well. Even though I know that those who look negatively at him. "I apologize."
"You're not wrong. Can we start over again?" He asked.
I looked at Dante, I didn't expect my husband to be so sincere to me. "I forgive you. We were both wrong. I apologize because I still act immaturely."
Dante hugged me. Today I was forced to stay in the hospital because I had to undergo several treatments. Especially until my cramps disappeared. I also have to take care of my physical and mental health.
That night my parents came to visit me. My mother looked very worried. She brought my favorite chicken porridge. She also asked me why I ended up in the hospital and I also told my mother everything.
As usual, my mother lectured so that this kind of incident would not happen again. I also listened to all of my mother's words so that there would be a new commotion. Because a mother certainly knows what is best for her child.
Of course, a mother's role is very important in guiding her children. Advice and lectures from parents often come from a sense of love and desire for their children not to repeat the same mistakes. Listening to what my mother says can be a wise way to avoid future commotions.
Exactly at 9 pm, my mother and father said goodbye. Well, I was alone with Dante, my husband here.
"Do you want to eat something else?" Dante asked.
That was a sweet question from Dante! Maybe I could consider enjoying a snack together or trying something simple. "I think I want to eat peanut cake from the cake shop yesterday. I'll order online. They close at 10, right?"
Dante just nodded. A sign that he agreed with me. "Very good! It seems that you have decided to enjoy peanut cake from your favorite cake shop. Ordering online is a convenient option, especially if they close at 10 pm. Make sure to order before the store closes so your order can be processed properly. Enjoy your sweet treats!”
Dante’s words were so sweet this time that I felt quite at ease with his words tonight. It didn’t take long for me to receive the peanut cake that I had ordered. I immediately ate it while I saw Dante looking sleepy. “You go to sleep!” I said.
It seemed like a calm and comfortable atmosphere, huh? Sometimes, simple moments like a calming conversation and enjoying our favorite foods can make us feel better. “Is there anything else you want to tell or discuss?”
“No. I just want to eat this peanut cake. If I need something later I will wake you up.”
“Glad to hear it! It’s true, simple moments like that are very precious. Enjoy your peanut cake, and don’t hesitate to wake me up if there’s anything you need.”
“Okay, my husband.”
Dante then kissed my forehead and I also smiled faintly. He then moved towards the bed that was intended for those waiting for patients.
