Wht are You Doin, Mario?

After going through various examinations, today Aurora was finally allowed by the doctor to go home. There were Raphael, Tristan and Sophia who both came to pick them up.

All of them specially came, then together first escorted Aurora home, then continued work.

"After this, I can go straight back to work, doc?" asked Aurora on the sidelines of the visit that the doctor was doing in her room.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you return to your activities. Just don't get too tired let alone get stressed. I feel sorry for the baby you are carrying," explained doctor Hansel. The doctor who has been taking care of Aurora's and Sophia's pregnancies.

"Why bother or rush to work, Aurora? It's better for you to just stay at home and rest," Tristan said, joining in.

Aurora chuckled. Wasn't Tristan the least bit sensitive to his thoughts? Of course he wanted to hurry back to his activities and activities in the office so he could see Mario.

"Why are you so fussy, Tristan? What if I rush to work? After all, you know that I've always liked to keep myself busy. It must be boring and uncomfortable if I have to stay at home for long."

"The problem is, you're pregnant. And you're recovering yourself. Isn't Sophia also at home?"

"But, the doctor just said it's fine, right? Then, why are you still busy banning me?"

Tristan chuckled. Even though his intentions were good because he was worried about the woman he considered like his own sister.

"You stubborn one. Why is it so hard to tell?"

"If you already know I'm stubborn, why are you still busy banning me?"

"It's up to you if you can't be told," said Tristan, starting to get exasperated. From the beginning, it was hard to tell or advise Aurora.

Finishing the dispute, Sophia immediately intervened as usual. The woman then guided Aurora to slowly go to the car. As soon as they got home, there was Samanta who welcomed them all. The household assistant immediately helped, accompanying Sophia to lead Aurora to the room.

"For God's sake, you're all overreacting. Seriously though, I'm fine," Aurora protested when she got to her room.

"It's okay, Aurora. We're all doing this because we're worried about your condition. Now, you can continue resting. If you need anything, you can call Samantha or me once," Sophia ordered before finally coming out and letting Aurora go back to enjoying her rest. .

Aurora complied this time. Because there really was nothing to do, he also chose to just sleep. Maybe about two hours he rested and woke up again at exactly two in the afternoon because he felt his stomach was hungry.

Without needing to be told, Aurora immediately got up and took herself to the dining room. Luckily Sophia was there at the time. Apparently Tristan's wife was also enjoying lunch.

"Aurora? How was your nap? Was it good?"

Aurora nodded. Bringing his feet, then immediately sat down on a chair that was right in front of Sophia.

"I sleep very well. It's best to spend time resting at home alone."

"I wanted to wake you up. However, seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bear it. I'm sure, if you're hungry, you'll definitely wake up by yourself."

"And now, I do feel very hungry, Sophia."

"Then feel free to eat. There's your favorite Lasagna and Ribollita," Sophia said, pointing to two heavy dishes that Aurora often eats.

"You guys really spoil me apparently. Since yesterday, it seems like you are very happy to give me your favorite food that I often eat."

She smiled. Little did Aurora know that the food in front of her eyes now was a dish that Mario had brought for her to eat. If that woman knew how caring Mario was, surely she would be very happy and moved. It's a shame Mario even asked to be kept secret.

"Let's just say that this food was bought on purpose to stimulate your appetite. Don't sick people often have no appetite?" Sophia guessed as if she knew.

Aurora nodded in agreement. Usually, when he is sick he has no appetite to eat any food. But, right now it felt different. Maybe it was due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, so all Aurora felt was hungry, hungry, and hungry.

"Thank you so much for the care you all give me. Honestly, it all makes me happy."

"Then, hurry up and eat your lunch. After this, it's up to you to do whatever activities you want. The important thing is not to get tired."

Aurora then continued her activities by eating lunch. Enjoy it quietly and after finishing, prefer to relax in the family room.

Maybe there were about 15 minutes of him sitting there playing on his cell phone. Until not long, seen Samantha approached. The household assistant then informed Aurora that there were guests who wanted to meet Aurora.

Initially, Aurora was surprised and at the same time wondered. Of course he was curious, who would have bothered to come visit him without prior confirmation. Is it the figure of Mario? It had crossed his mind at that time.

Therefore, for the sake of proving and checking directly on guests who wanted to see her, Aurora quickly got up and headed for the living room. There, it turned out that there was a figure of a woman he knew so well, came to meet him.

"Cassie?" Aurora scolded when she saw her best friend suddenly come to visit her house.

"Aurora ... how are you?" she asked. From the look on her face, she looked really worried.

Meanwhile, Aurora herself immediately sat herself down on the sofa. He looked at Cassie questioningly.

"I'm fine. For what purpose did you visit me here?" he asked curiously.

Cassie took a deep breath. As if relieved to hear what Aurora just said.

"Thank goodness you're okay. A few days ago, I visited your house. However, your household assistant said you were being treated at the hospital. I asked where you were being treated, but your assistant refused to tell me and asked me to come back. Just two or three days."

"Okay. But, what did you come to see me for? Do you have business to attend to?" Aurora inquired increasingly curious.

"Actually, I'm just worried about you. Last time I asked you out, you got into an argument with your husband and Lucas, right? For God's sake, Aurora, I had no idea you were married."

Aurora rolled her eyes. Naturally, Cassie didn't know she was married. The wedding party was being held in private. Even when she went to the reunion yesterday, Aurora also didn't even discuss marriage or the pregnancy she was currently experiencing.

"Forget it, Cassie. You're not wrong. I'm the one who didn't tell you this on purpose."

"But, how is your relationship with---"

"My husband?"

Cassie nodded. Of course, she felt bad because she indirectly created discord between Aurora - her husband - and Lucas. Cassie knew very well that night, even to the point of commotion.

"I have to admit that my marriage relationship is getting worse and worse."

"Good grief." Cassie exclaimed. It's getting worse to hear Aurora's confession. "I'm really sorry, Aurora. For God's sake, I didn't mean to ruin your relationship with your husband."

"It's okay. Once again, this is not your fault," Aurora said soothingly after seeing Cassie looking very guilty and uncomfortable.

"But, I'm really sorry. Actually, Lucas also asked me to meet you several times,"

Hearing that statement, Aurora's forehead wrinkled in surprise.

"Lucas? Want to see me? For what else?"

"It seems he wants to apologize to you in person, Aurora."

Aurora nodded in understanding. Actually, he didn't blame Lucas for the problems that happened to him and Mario the other day.

"No need to apologize. This is all my own fault. I should have not gone to the reunion yesterday from the start."

"Once again I'm sorry, Aurora. Do I need to see your husband to explain everything?" she offered.

"No need, Cassie. I'll leave this alone."

"But, if you need something, you don't have to hesitate to ask for my help, Aurora. I will help you as much as possible."

Aurora nodded. Because laziness made Cassie feel even worse, she chose to change the subject. They both talked to each other until the afternoon arrived.

***

This morning, as she wished, Aurora decided to return to her activities by going to work with Tristan. Even though the man continued to protest, Aurora didn't care. After all, their father agreed and gave him permission as long as he did not overuse energy and knew the limits of work.

"If you keep on babbling and giving lots of lectures, I can go by myself in my car, Tristan. Do you think that because I'm pregnant and just got out of the hospital, then I can't go to the office by myself as usual?"

Tristan let out a long sigh. It was still early, but Aurora had already engaged him in an argument.

"Okay, Fine. I'll take you with me, Princess. But, promise, no overtime and no outside work visits. You can only focus on doing work in the office."

Aurora nodded lazily. Then hurriedly said goodbye to Raphael who was still enjoying breakfast, then followed Tristan to the car.

Throughout the trip, Aurora looked like an impatient person. Not without reason, he had been eager to get here soon so he could meet or steal glances at Mario who was in the office.

That's why, upon arriving at the Exon building, Aurora was in a bit of a hurry to walk towards the room. As soon as he arrived, he closed the door, then deliberately stood behind the curtains while peeking in case Mario passed in front of his room.

And sure enough, after about 15 minutes of standing waiting, the man she was waiting for finally passed. It was clear to Aurora's eyes at that time that Mario was wearing a navy suit, walking straight towards his room.

As soon as Mario was no longer seen, Aurora immediately stepped towards the desk, checked the work agenda and then smiled happily. There, there was a note from Tristan that he had to sign right away. And Aurora is sure that Mario will meet her later to ask for the file.

While doing her work, Aurora occasionally glances at the door. Hoping Mario will come to see him soon, even if it's just a work formality.

Until it was time for break and lunch, her husband never came to approach her into the room. Aurora got nervous thinking about it.

"Is Mario really not going to meet me? Is he deliberately avoiding?" muttered Aurora to herself. Frustrated at the thought of her husband who never came.

Until finally an idea emerged. He also chose to take the file himself to Mario's room. For some reason, she was sure her husband was still in her room at this time.

With full confidence, Aurora took the file for Tristan then walked towards Mario's room. As soon as he was about to arrive, he suddenly saw a strange woman enter her husband's room.

Curious, Aurora chose to approach, as soon as she opened the door to the room, she was shocked. From her eyes, Aurora could see the foreign woman she had previously seen at the front of the room approaching Mario and without hesitation hugged and even kissed her husband on the cheek tenderly.

"Mario, what are you doing?"
