Surprise

Two days passed after returning to Jakarta, Ethan invited Luna to visit Shandra's house after a check-up with an obstetrician. They have asked about good intercourse for pregnant women. Even though Luna was embarrassed, she just gave up. After all, for the twins' good.

"I'll leave Luna for a while because I have an important business at the office," said Ethan when he was almost half an hour at Shandra's house.

"Yes, you take it easy. Your wife is safe here," replied Shandra with a friendly smile.

"Later, don't pick up too late!" Luna messages. She looked like she didn't like Ethan to leave her.

"Yes. I'll pick you up in the afternoon," Ethan promised with a reassuring smile. He immediately left the house and drove the car but did not go to the office, but returned home.

At home. Ethan asks David and Vira who was he deliberately invited to help her prepare a surprise for Luna.

Now, they are in Ethan's private room with busy activities decorating the room to make it look more romantic.

"Is this a surprise in what order?" asked Vira curiously? As far as she knew, today wasn't Luna's birthday.

"Their first night," said David. He knew it because Ethan had confided in him.

Vira's eyes widened successfully. She did not think her best friend had been married for a long time and had not made love. "Seriously, how can you be like that?" She asked.

"I don't know," David replied with a shrug, while Ethan just smiled at the conversation between Vira and David. He was busy sprinkling roses on his bed.

"Is it true that you haven't done it after marriage, all this time?" Vira asked as she looked at Ethan who was just silent.

"Yes. Don't you also know that she didn't love me before?" Ethan asked in return as he walked toward the balcony. He prepared a candlelight dinner on the balcony of the room and David helped him put up the lamps and candles on the table.

"Does she love you now?" asked Vira while arranging flowers as decoration on the table.

"Yes. I think she loves me. patience always pays off," Ethan replied.

Vira nodded understandingly. She stared proudly at Ethan's struggles to endure Luna's indifference. They both have a couple of goals, especially when their children are twins. uh, Vira felt anxious at the thought of how cute the twins would be.

"When you finish this, you guys go home! I want to be alone," Ethan exclaimed with a big smile on his lips.

"Yes, I hope Luna likes it," Vira replied as she finished her task of arranging the flowers, while David raised the sound system to the corner of the balcony.

"Are you going to ask Luna to dance?" David asked, glancing at Ethan.

"Of course to play romantic songs, right?" Vira glanced at Ethan who was busy with the lights.

"Of course," Ethan replied without turning his head.

During the afternoon, Luna is getting restless because Ethan hasn't picked her up yet, while her husband is still busy preparing dinner for her.

Ethan cooks on purpose. He makes simple chocolate pancakes like the old days when Luna asked him to make pancakes. Now and then he is helped by Ira, her household assistant. Meanwhile, David and Vira have returned home.

DRETT .. DRETT

Ethan's cell phone rings because of an incoming call from Luna. he immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Luna," Ethan said in a tired voice.

"Why haven't you picked me up. It's already past five?" asked Luna from the telephone.

"Sorry, I'm very busy. I have to work overtime too. So, you just ask Arsha to take you," Ethan answered lied. Even though, he was cooking.

"Huh, you lied, broke promises, sucks!!" said Luna sounding curt than the disconnected direct telephone line.

"Yeah, I'm busy. Busy preparing for our first night," Ethan muttered with an amused smile, then continued his activities. He tried to finish everything quickly so that when Luna came home, everything was in order.

Shandra noticed Luna's sour face after calling her husband.

"Why what happened?" She asked.

"He couldn't pick me up. He said he was busy," replied Luna irritably.

"Hmm be patient, Arsha will take you. Soon he will come," exclaimed Shandra.

"Well, what else can I do. I'm taking a shower here," replied Luna curtly. She got up from her seat and walked towards the guest room in her sister's house.

Luna immediately took a shower. There happens to be a fairly large outfit belonging to Shandra for her to wear. After that, she lay on the bed while waiting for Arsha to come home from work.

"LUNA ... BROTHER ARSHA HAS COME," Shandra shouted from the door. Luna immediately got out of bed and walked out of the room. She walked over to Arsha, who had just come home from work and was still wearing a blue tuxedo.

"Take me home," said Luna, still with an annoyed face.

"Don't be angry ... maybe your husband is busy and can't pick you up," Shandra persuaded

"Come on, I'll take you before it's too late," said Arsha as he looked at his watch which showed the time at 18:30 WIB.

"I'll go home first, Sis," said goodbye to Luna while hugging Shandra.

"Be careful. If you have free time, I will come to your house," replied Shandra.

Luna immediately took off her hug. She walked out of the house to the car with his brother-in-law who would take her home.

Ethan has finished preparing a simple but romantic dinner. He immediately took a shower and changed clothes. After that, he waited for Luna behind the bedroom door and deliberately didn't turn on the light.

'I'll just wait here. Hopefully, his anger will wear off after this shock,' Ethan thought.

When she arrived home, Luna immediately walked into the room with lazy steps, while Arsha went straight home. Luna immediately rushed to the room because she wanted to go to sleep. Ethan broke his promise, it put her in a bad mood.

"Maybe he'll always be over time, leaving me alone. This is so annoying," muttered Luna as she climbed the stairs to the room.

Luna opened the door to her room, which looked completely dark. 'How dark. I think I didn't turn off the light before leaving,' she thought as she entered the room

Suddenly, Luna felt a hand close her eyes. "Who is this?" asked Luna as she tried to get the hand away from her eyes.

"Your husband," Ethan whispered. He immediately led Luna to the balcony.

Luna just gave in with curiosity about what Ethan was going to do.

'He said over time, but he was at home. Where do I want to be taken? ' Luna wondered as she walked, led by Ethan.

Arriving on the balcony, Ethan immediately removed his hand that was covering Luna's eyes.

"Surprise," Ethan whispered.

Luna smiled with a happy hue on her slightly chubby face when she saw the candlelight dinner that Ethan had prepared on the balcony in front of their room.

"You prepared this?" asked Luna as she looked at Ethan.

"Of course," Ethan replied as he pulled out a chair and invited Luna to sit down.

"So, since you were home, not to the office?" asked Luna as she sat herself down.

"Yeah. Sorry, I lied," Ethan replied as he sat in the chair opposite his wife.

Luna saw a table decorated with candles and roses, pancakes with melted chocolate, and a glass of milk. Ethan seemed to be preparing this simple dinner himself.

"Did you cook it?" asked Luna, raising her eyebrows.

"Yes. I remember, you like pancakes with melted chocolate, I cooked it, "Ethan replied with a smile.

Luna sighed, staring sadly at Ethan, who had worked so hard to surprise her. "You shouldn't have to bother like this. I haven't made you happy yet," She said.

"It's okay. I'm not bothered it's just a simple dinner, the menu is only pancakes and milk that you usually drink," Ethan replied with a smile that never faded from his handsome face.
