Chapter 13 - Suppose
After the barbeque party is over, all the family members gather in the living room. They are chatting while drinking tea. Luna, who felt hot, decided to go to the garden beside the house to get some fresh air.
Luna sat back on the chair while staring at the sky, feeling the night breeze that made her stifling feeling slowly disappear. That night the moon did not appear, but was replaced by millions of sparkling stars.
"Luna," said someone from behind walking toward Luna.
Luna looked lazy at someone who came over to her. She turned her face away and returned to relax by leaning back on the chair.
"Why are you here when everyone is gathered in the living room?" Edward asked as he sat himself beside Luna. close distance, like when they were dating first.
"Get some fresh air," replied Luna as she shifted her seat so that she didn't get too close to Edward.
"Why stay away, didn't you always like to sit next to me?" asked Edward, smiling at Luna who looked indifferent to him.
"Huhh ... it doesn't work anymore," replied Luna sarcastically, turning her face back to look at the sky.
"I'm sorry, Luna. stop being so indifferent to me."
"It's easy to say sorry, I hate you Edward and what's the use of excuse me? we already have our respective partners now. " Luna looked annoyed at the man in front of her.
"I don't love her, you don't love Ethan either. I know you guys got married because of the incident. Ethan has told me everything." said Edward with a reassuring look.
Luna was just lazy to reply to Edward's words. Whether Edward loves Viona or not, for her Edward is a hypocritical man who left her only because of Viona's wealth.
"Luna ... Edward," said Ethan, who had just come over to Luna and Edward.
Luna let out a rough breath and immediately got up from her seat to get to Ethan. "Come on to back in the room, I want to lie down," said Luna.
"We'll go in first," Ethan said goodbye to Edward, who was still sitting in the chair. Edward only responded with a nod.
"Why are you outside, do you want to chat?" Ethan asked as he walked hand in hand with Luna.
"I'm hot inside. So I went out to get some fresh air," replied Luna as she continued walking.
Viona walking over to Luna and Ethan when they arrive at the terrace.
"Do you know where Edward is?" Viona asked as she looked at Luna and Ethan.
"It's in the side garden," Ethan replied. Meanwhile, Luna was silent, occasionally watching the woman who had become the wife of her former lover.
Viona immediately walked to the side garden leaving Luna and Ethan behind.
"have you drank milk?" Ethan asked.
Luna rolled her eyes lazily. She feels bored if she continues to drink milk. And her husband never forgot his obligation. Even to Singapore he didn't forget to bring it.
"Not yet. I'll make it myself later," replied Luna with a flat gaze as she walked toward the kitchen leaving Ethan alone.
Ethan exhaled harshly as he watched Luna leave, "Indifferent again but sometimes you're friendly, " Ethan mumbled as he walked to his room, while the others were already in their rooms because it was bedtime.

Luna stared lazily at the special milk box for pregnant women in front of her. "He doesn't know how bored I keep drinking this," annoyed Luna as she measured the milk powder into a glass with a spoon.
Besides the milk box, there is also chocolate powder. Luna thought about doing fun with Ethan. coincidentally the milk for her tastes chocolate, she intends to swap her special milk with ordinary cocoa powder.
"I'll just change it, and you drink this pregnant milk," muttered Luna with an amused smile. She immediately measured it with a spoon of cocoa powder into the glass.
"Luna," said Dina, who had just entered the kitchen and saw her daughter-in-law making milk and hot chocolate
"Make milk, Mom," said Luna, while throwing a friendly smile.
"Good, so that my grandchildren are healthy," said Dina with a happy face.
Luna just responded with a nod and smiled then said goodbye to the room carrying a tray with two glasses of milk and hot chocolate.

In the room Ethan is sitting in focus staring at his laptop. He seemed to be working on something. Luna immediately approached him by hugging him from behind.
Ethan was surprised that Luna became spoiled again. He just smiled and turned to look at his wife.
"Why?" He asked.
"I saw the chocolate powder earlier. I made it for you," said Luna with a sweet smile. but there is a hidden purpose behind it. Namely so that Ethan could taste the pregnant woman's special milk
Luna gave Ethan a glass of special milk for pregnant women. Meanwhile she drank chocolate.
"Thanks," Ethan said as he took the milk and drank it unsuspectingly.
"Why does it feel different?" Ethan asked after downing the half glass of milk.
"How different. Isn't it delicious?" Luna asked, holding back her laughter as she saw Ethan's expression, who drank the milk again.
"Not sweet, less chocolatey. A little nauseous," Ethan replied.
"Hahahah ...." Luna finally laughed after trying to hold her back. Ethan frowned at Luna's sudden laughter.
"Why" asked Ethan in surprise.
"That's a pregnant woman's milk hahaha ..." said Luna chuckled.
Not annoyed or angry. Ethan even smiled seeing Luna laugh out loud. Usually Luna is cold and seems indifferent to him. He went back to drinking the milk until it runs out.
"Isn't that good?" Asked Luna while continuing to smile watching her husband drink special milk for pregnant women.
"Of course. that's why you have to drink this every day, "Ethan replied casually.
Luna pursed her lips. "I am bored."
"Tomorrow we look for other flavors."
"Are we not back in Jakarta tomorrow?" Asked Luna, who was no longer smiling. Her mood is very easy to change
"Not yet. I want to take you out. Do you want it? "
"Of course," replied Luna and then finished her chocolate which was not too hot.
"I want to finish my work first," said Ethan as he focused on looking at his laptop again.
Luna, who was annoyed because Ethan had returned to focus on his work, immediately lay down on the bed while playing with her smartphone.
---
Only eleven o'clock in the evening. Luna can't sleep. Ethan is still focused on his laptop. He did go to Singapore, but his brain was still working. This doesn't seem refreshing to Luna. She wanted the usual attention from Ethan.
"Ethan," called Luna spoiled. She was still in bed hugging a pillow.
"Why?" Ethan asked without looking.
"Come here, I can't sleep alone," ordered Luna in a spoiled tone.
"I'm not done yet. Wait a minute."
"But I can't sleep alone."
Ethan took a deep breath and then turned off the laptop and set it down on the table. Luna smiled with satisfaction seeing Ethan stop his job and chose to sleep with her.
Ethan lay down beside Luna. Luna immediately shifted her body closer to Ethan and used Ethan's hand as her pillow. Ethan's scent had become addictive for Luna. Although she doesn't know for sure if she already loves Ethan or just because of the impact of her pregnancy.
"Can i hold the twins?" Ethan asked softly as he looked down at Luna.
"Em. Of course," replied Luna, who initially hesitated.
Ethan lightly touched Luna's belly and rubbed her gently. Suddenly there were small movements that made Luna feel amused and smile. Ethan smiled too.
"They like you to hold it," muttered Luna, smiling down at her stomach.
"Are they fighting inside, or want to play football?" Ethan asked innocently.
Luna just chuckled at her husband's impossible question.
"Maybe, but if they were girls, they would be famous models or ... good at playing guitar like Alexa," replied Luna supposingly. Imagining two little girls posing on the stage wearing princess-like dresses.
"If they are men. Will be good football players because they like to kick. Don't you feel it?" Said Ethan who also wished his son would become a good football player.
"Huhh ... don't be a soccer player. Better be an actor. Or a businessman like you. Many beautiful girls will admire their good looks later." Luna secretly acknowledged Ethan's good looks. She imagines handsome twin men who compete in a film or become a singer who likes women.
"If they are men and women like my mother and uncle Doni, how about it?" Ethan asked, who still put his hand on Luna's stomach, who occasionally still felt the twins' small movements.
"Um ... they're going to be a ballet, or salsa, that's really cool," said Luna as she played her fingers on Ethan's chest.
"Can't wait to see them born," Ethan muttered. He imagined their child would be born healthy and would raise with Luna. Even though she didn't know what Luna's decision would be after giving birth. He didn't want this togetherness to end just like that.
Because daydreaming. Ethan did not realize that Luna was asleep. Ethan stared intensely at Luna's face, which began to look more chubby. Ethan gently rubbed Luna's cheek and kissed her forehead. Luna, who felt movement on her face, squirmed and hugged Ethan. Ethan was even happier in Luna's arms. He smiled and immediately closed his eyes. Hoping that dreamland will lead him to beautiful dreams with Luna and the twins.

Elsewhere in Edward's room. Viona didn't sleep soon. When everyone is asleep, she is busy playing with her smartphone. Secretly she became a stalker. stalker for Luna because she felt something was wrong between Edward and Luna.
Since Ethan married Luna. Edward came to Ethan's house a lot without even asking him. In fact, usually Edward seldom visits his step brother's house.
"If it's just friends, they should get along well in front of everyone. Not secretly familiar," Viona muttered. Because every Edward and Luna are face to face. Luna looks lazy while Edward always stares at Luna and they rarely chat when Viona and Ethan are around. viona feels that something is hidden by the two of them.
Viona continues to seek information about Luna via the internet. Because Luna is a famous model. Surely whoever she is dating, there will be gossip .
