..........


8 months later...


Baby Aurora grew up really well, of course, because she had a good mother and really paid attention to everything little to her daughter.


Aurora can even crawl now, her 4 teeth have grown, two below and two above. Makes it even funnier.


"Come, Honey. Learn to stand up..." Elnaz said very gently to his daughter, he was guiding his son to learn to stand on the bed, Elnaz did not want to risk his son falling if studying on the floor. Yet Baby Aurora continued to hold on to her mother's hand while giggling, she looked as if she was still afraid to stand.


It made Elnaz also laugh with gaiety, he held Baby Aurora and twisted her in the air, making Baby Aurora laugh with excitement.


It was late afternoon, Elnaz prepared porridge for his daughter, Elnaz fed Baby Aurora while walking around the house, all enjoying the afternoon breeze.


Meanwhile, Arfan deliberately went home early today, because he was not feeling well.


"Ar, are you sure you don't want to check?" nadine asked Arfan who was currently walking to the parking lot. Arfan did try his best to avoid Nadine, because he did not want his happy household in trouble. But Nadine is still acting the way she used to be, looking for opportunities close to Arfan.


"I just have a fever, I know that" replied Arfan.


"Yes afraid of you later why why.." he said.


Nadine always appears as a friend who cares for Arfan, no matter Arfan who continues to avoid her. Does Arfan like her? Lying if Arfan says no, what else since there is Aurora, the attention of Elnaz really divided.


Arfan didn't even get half of Elnaz's attention, putting down a quarter of his.


But Arfan knew all mothers would do the same.


And Arfan also just realized, what Elnaz said is true, the temptation of the woman is not just about beautiful and sexy women. But the greater temptation is comfort, the subtle temptation, and almost no one realizes that it is only a temptation, so many fall into it. The beginning of comfort, then dependence on comfort, then the heart begins to spiral out of control, and that is the beginning of great destruction.


And Arfan was very grateful, because Elnaz had warned him far away. So that Arfan strongly resisted all temptations.


Whenever she felt like and comfortable with Nadine's attention, Arfan would always imagine Elnaz before becoming a mother, she was a good partner, a good wife. Who devoted all his love and attention only to Arfan a.


And Arfan will also remember how Elnaz went through a very uneasy pregnancy for 9 months, then when Elnaz fought and risked his life to give birth to their child.


Difficulty during pregnancy, and pain during childbirth is something that men will never be able to feel, how difficult and painful it is to be a wife. Given all that, how can Arfan replace the real comfort that only the wife can give?


Arfan opened his car door and before entering the car, Arfan turned his head and looked at Nadine seriously, then said firmly.


"Nad, don't pay any more attention to me. Because I've got a wife who gave me everything..." Nadine was just stunned to hear what Arfan said


"And don't expect anything from me, because I've given everything to my wife and my son, so I don't have anything left for anyone else" he said, then he got in the car. While Nadine had opened her mouth to say something, but Arfan had closed the door and was really reluctant to listen to anything from Nadine.


"Ar.." called Nadine but suddenly someone pulled his hand violently, Nadine immediately turned her head.


"Elsa.." he muttered.


"I know you.." said Elsa coldly "We met when I was Arfan's girlfriend, and at that time I also realized you had a crush on Arfan..." turn it over while smiling sideways.


"Yes, if I may be honest." replied Nadine casually "Until now I still like her. I didn't dare go near him because I thought he was a very loyal man..."


"And just because he married my sister, you think he's not a loyal man? Then you think you can snatch it from his wife?" rebut Elsa and Nadine just put her shoulders nonchalantly.


"You're wrong, Doctor Nadine. Just because a man doesn't marry his girlfriend, turning to his girlfriend's cousin or even his girlfriend's sister doesn't mean the man is unfaithful. That means, NOT JODOH.." said Elsa full of emphasis.


"It's that simple, Doctor Nadine. And Arfan is a very loyal guy, so stop trying to get close to him, stop trying to make him comfortable next to you. Because Arfan knows what could make his family whole or broken"
