Chapter 35: Chapter 35

"For God's sake, it looks like our family is blessed. Papa is really happy because tonight, after all this time, we can finally have dinner together with a very complete formation."

Raphael raised the glass of wine in his hand. Inviting sons, daughters, and also their in-laws to toast together celebrating their family's happiness tonight.

A wide smile was obvious the man was smiling. It was clear from the look in his eyes that at this moment he was really happy because he could finally see Aurora and Mario back together.

Don't get me wrong, recently, Raphael was sad when Aurora and Mario got into a big fight. For God's sake, he was so afraid that his beloved daughter would get a divorce and later become a single parent. Too bad he said. Having been born an orphan, how come that woman has to become a single parent.

Really, Raphael really wanted to see his adopted daughter happy. He has made various attempts. He even asked Tristan to help persuade Mario to forgive all the mistakes Aurora had made.

Not to mention another disaster that his daughter had experienced. Which is when the woman had to be hospitalized and even received intensive care because of an overdose of sedatives.

Now, however, seeing Mario is back and forgiving all wrongs. Even promised never to leave Aurora again. This of course made Raphael's heart warm. At least, he could calm down and breathe easy because the princess could again receive protection and of course attention from the man she loved.

"Here, tonight, from the bottom of Papa's heart, sincerely praying for you, Aurora, Mario, Tristan, and Sophia too. Papa hopes that your marriage will always last until grandparents and only death can separate you all."

Tristan also raised the glass next to him. He of course confirmed the good prayer that his father had just said. He also hopes that, after the various problems and twists and turns that he and Sophia had to go through, now is the time to enjoy happiness.

"I believe in the prayer that Papa has said. May God really bless our family and our future children and grandchildren. I hope Sophia and Aurora's pregnancies will be smooth, healthy, and without problems until each of them gives birth to the best son and daughter in this family. ."

This time it was Mario who also raised his glass. Don't ask how many good prayers he has said. This time, he promised that no matter what happened, he would never leave his wife.

"Thank you very much for still accepting me in this family, Pa," said Mario later. "I won't promise much. What is certain is that whatever it is is for the happiness of Aurora and our baby, I will definitely strive for it. I'm also sorry for making Papa worry about the fight we had."

"I'm sorry too. I've made too many mistakes, especially Papa and Mario."

Aurora replied. After all, he is the source of all the problems that occur.

Starting from his reckless attitude that wanted to trap Tristan by giving sleeping pills but his father finally found out. And in the end they even got drunk and had a one night stand with Mario.

Not to mention the arrogance and stubbornness he always shows. Coupled with his stupidity that deliberately lied to Mario by going to the Reunion event and instead committing immoral acts which ultimately caused Mario's wrath.

Really, if you remember, Aurora has committed a lot of sins. Many of his actions went too far and probably disappointed everyone.

However, if we examine it again, it is Mario who always tries to be patient. The man was also the one who always held himself back by Aurora's side and tried to compensate for all of her foolish behavior. Aurora should be grateful. Especially when she later found out that the man she had rejected so hard was the first love that Aurora had been looking for all this time.

"Come on, Aurora. We don't need to talk about it anymore."

Raphael cast a deep glance at the princess. Give advice so that in the future Aurora will no longer do harmful things.

"The important thing is that you are aware and promise not to repeat your stupid actions again. Poor Mario. He has made too many sacrifices. He has cultivated countless patience so that he can continue to please and accompany you."

"I know that, Pa," Aurora said afterward. Then he turned to Mario who was sitting right next to him. He took the man's hand and held it tightly. "I promise I will not waste the second chance Mario has given me. And I beg you, please warn me if I make a mistake again in the future."

He smiled. He grabbed Aurora's wrist and kissed it. Meanwhile Tristan and Sophia could only stare gratefully. At least after this there is no more fighting or hostility in their family.

"Now, apart from focusing on the company, we also have to focus on the health and pregnancy that Sophia and Aurora are living. Moreover, in less than two months, they may give birth," Tristan said afterwards.

Mario nodded. He began to feel anxious when he realized that Aurora's pregnancy was already in its final trimester. There were concerns that Aurora would give birth while she was busy working or holding a meeting outside the office. Also, Mario wanted at this historical and important moment, he could be there 24 hours to accompany Aurora through the stages of labour.

"From now on I will also increase my vigilance. Anyway, don't let your guard down and always be alert. I'm afraid they will suddenly want to give birth while we are busy working."

Tristan laughed and nodded in agreement. He also had to anticipate emergencies like this.

"Yes, if both of them give birth while we are doing work or a meeting, just ask the client for permission to continue the work the next day. Or we can just smartly arrange how good it is."

Dinner continued with interspersed light conversation. Everyone seemed to exchange stories with each other. As if they had not done this moment together for a long time.

***

"Gosh, Mario. Are you actually massaging me or are you teasing me on purpose?"

Currently, the two of them were sitting on the bed with their backs to each other. Remembering Mario's habit before going to sleep, he always massaged his wife so he could relax and sleep well. So tonight, Mario wanted to get back to massaging Aurora's body after a long time.

It's just that, because of the passionate feeling of longing, of course it's not just a massage that Mario gives. Aurora's neck and shoulders felt hot and also wet from the light kisses he deliberately gave his wife. In fact, the kiss gradually felt not like an ordinary kiss. Instead of biting and sucking, which made Aurora's body twitch every now and then.

"I'm doing this because I really miss you, Aurora," Mario whispered from behind right in his wife's ear. Mario's hot breath when it hit Aurora's open shoulder skin certainly made the hair on the woman's neck immediately shiver.

"You think I don't miss you? I even begged many times to be able to meet and talk to you because I really miss you," Aurora admitted honestly.

"Is it true?"

Aurora then nodded. Where had he previously felt an extraordinary longing like what he felt yesterday when he begged to meet. But, basically Mario was still angry, the man instead flatly refused his request.

"I'm sorry for what I did. I did it on purpose so you would be aware and feel what I've been feeling."

"And it turns out that it's really torturous," Aurora continued quickly. He said everything he felt yesterday.

Taking his hand, the man returned to gently massaging and now chose Aurora's two backs. Pull the dress knot straps attached on both sides. Opened it completely, then threw it anywhere to reveal Aurora's smooth, innocent-looking body.

Then after that the hand slowly descended again, then stopped right at Aurora's stomach which was getting bigger. Rubbing the surface of Aurora's open stomach, while speaking again.

"Too bad I have to be apart from you two, honey. For God's sake, I miss every moment we were together. It hurts so much to have to hold back not being able to rub your belly like this."

Mario's hand on Aurora's stomach apparently got a response from their child inside. One obvious kick was felt when Mario continued to rub Aurora's stomach gently.

"See, your child seems happy in there. I'm sure he must be happy because his father is back and now he will always talk to him. Please, don't leave me and our future child again like yesterday," Aurora asked seriously. There was a tone full of fear clearly heard in the words he threw.

"No one will leave you, Aurora. Because yesterday I made you miss on purpose, tonight I will make up for it by inviting you to have fun."

"Mario ... you drive me crazy."

While closing her eyes, Aurora seemed overwhelmed by the treatment Mario had begun to give her. Half of his consciousness was almost gone when Mario deliberately leaned his chin on Aurora's shoulder. Turning around slightly, the man instead sucked Aurora's earlobe until it got wet.

More than that, which made Aurora even more agitated, Mario's lips kissed on Aurora's neck. Sucking then biting deliberately there. While the man's hands were even more guerrilla. Moved from the stomach, then played on Aurora's chest which looked tight and full.

As if ignited by what Mario did to her, Aurora turned around impatiently. Grabbing Mario's face, then landing a deep kiss. Really, he is no longer ashamed to start first. While Aurora's hands did not remain silent, while continuing to sip and crush, she slowly unbuttoned the pajamas her husband was wearing one by one until they were completely open. Pull it off, then throw it away.

Knowing what his wife wanted, Mario happily and gently guided Aurora to lie down immediately. Truly, Mario will not waste the opportunity tonight to channel the longing that he has nurtured for so long. After all, this was the first time after a long marriage, consciously and without a hint of resistance, Aurora was willing to make love to him.

Making sure that Aurora was lying down comfortably, Mario then looked for a position that was right and safe, considering that Aurora was currently heavily pregnant. Of course, he hopes that his actions after this will not hurt or endanger his wife and also the baby in Aurora's stomach.

After finding the right position and right, then slowly Mario put himself together. Filling Aurora's core with his own. Move with care and gentleness. Making sure what he was doing made Aurora comfortable and lulled.

Moan after groan was heard flowing from Aurora's lips. The thirst for longing that had been suppressed had now evaporated replaced with a feeling that was difficult for him to describe.

Until at one point, both of them felt the same thing, namely satisfaction. There was nothing Mario could do other than hug Aurora tightly and continue to kiss Aurora's back lovingly. He hopes that the togetherness and happiness he is feeling tonight will be felt every night and in the following days.
