Chapter 168 - Their Harmony
Sunlight infiltrated between the ventilation holes in Luna's bedroom window. She slowly blinked her eyes because of the glare, then glanced to the side where Ethan was still asleep while embracing Keenan and Keyra who were sleeping. the young mother smiled seeing the togetherness of her husband and two babies, she immediately sat up and took the smartphone which was located on the table.
Luna took a picture of Ethan with his two babies, then sent it to his in-laws via WhatsApp with the caption; "They're already together."
after making sure the message was sent, Luna bent down and kissed the three most loved members of her family.
"Foolishly I have kept you apart." Luna cursed herself while kissing Ethan's cheek which was still hot. "You still have a fever," she said
Luna immediately got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to wash her face. When she was done, she left the room and headed for the kitchen to prepare Ethan's breakfast. There, her mother and her two babysitters were seen cooking.
"Mom.
"You're awake." Rita glanced at Luna while mixing spices.
"What do you want to cook?" asked Luna.
"I want to cook soup, soy sauce chicken, crispy chicken, and much more," answered Rita without turning her head. She enjoyed the activity, while Anna and Gita also helped while waiting for the twins to wake up.
"Why do you cook so much, Mom?" asked Luna, raising her eyebrows.
"It's your birthday, you have your husband and two guests too. Mommy has to cook a lot so that they feel at home and don't give up coming here," explained Rita with a relieved smile.
Luna sighed and hugged her mother from the side spoiled. "Mommy is very kind, even without this they will feel at home, Mom."
"It's okay, dear. I like to cook and lt for them because this is also my hobby." Rita released Luna's summary, then said, "You better spend some time with your husband, sorry he's sick, he needs your attention."
"I just want to help you, Mom, he's still sleeping," said Luna.
"Who said I'm still sleeping? Look, even the kids are awake." suddenly Ethan appeared into the kitchen while holding Keenan and Keyra together.
Luna turned and smiled at Ethan, then took Keenan to carry him. "I thought you were still sleeping soundly."
"They immediately woke up when they realized you were gone," said Ethan as he brought Keyra closer to his face, then kissed her. He liked the smell of the baby even though he just woke up very fragrant.
"Maybe they are thirsty," Luna glanced at Keenan who was sucking his thumb.
"You just feed them, dear," Rita exclaimed while glancing at her two grandchildren, then focused on Ethan. "What do you want for breakfast, Tan? Let me prepare."
"Just eat with the same side dishes as everyone else, Mom," replied Ethan with a friendly smile.
Rita nodded in understanding, then continued her cooking activities. Luna immediately walked to the living room and sat on the sofa while staring at the television screen showing the animation program of two bald twins.
Ethan immediately followed Luna with a sturdy right hand that was still holding Keyra. "Look, honey. Your twin is drinking breast milk, you have to stand in line for a while," she said as he looked down at his baby who was waiting for alternate breastfeeding.
"Usually do they always line up like this?" asked Ethan as he sat on the sofa right next to Luna so close together.
"Yes, sometimes if they are impatient, formula milk will be made one of them," answered Luna while holding Keenan's adorable hand embracing the source of his milk. the baby glanced at his twin and the father seemed afraid of the source of his milk taken.
"Why not try breastfeeding both of them straight away?" asked Ethan, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehehe... sometimes it's like that when it's just the three of you in the room. Breastfeeding while lying down." Luna chuckled shyly.
"Then, let's go to the room. Poor Keyra waiting too long, she looks very thirsty," said Ethan while glancing at baby Keyra who was getting restless sucking her thumb.
"Really? I'm embarrassed." Luna shook her head reluctantly to comply with Ethan's invitation.
"I'm your husband, why should you be ashamed? Come on, poor Keyra." Ethan got up from the sofa while holding out his hand to Luna who was still breastfeeding Keenan.
Luna sighed, then pulled out Keenan's lips from her nipples to stop sucking her milk. "Let's continue in our room, honey," she said as she got up from the sofa. She immediately walked into the room followed by Ethan while holding the baby.

Elsewhere, Alexa just woke up. She was still lazing on the queen size bed where she was staying at the hotel because after she finished surprising Luna, she invited Andrew back to the hotel by sleeping in a different room.
Otherwise, they will be raided because they are not husband and wife.
knock... knock... knock...
There was a knock on the door. Alexa lazily got out of bed and walked to the door and opened it.
"Good morning, sweetheart."
Andrew greeted with a seductive smile. He looked at Alexa who still looked like she had just woken up, then said, "Don't you want to see Ethan and Luna? Why aren't you ready yet? Or... do you want us to go for a walk. We happen to bring Luna's car, right?"
"I'm so tired, Drew," Alexa said as she turned back into the room. She walked lazily towards the bathroom to wash her face.
Andrew sat on the sofa while waiting for Alexa who was washing her face and brushing her teeth.
Check...
Alexa came out of the bathroom with a fresh face, then sat down next to Andrew who kept looking at him.
"Let's go there now because I will stay there for the next trip," said Alexa while leaning her shoulder.
"Why not just here?" Andrew asked.
"Ethan said, tomorrow you have to go back to Jakarta. So, I'd better stay there," Alexa replied casually.
Andrew took a deep breath, then turned his head away. "I thought you would come with me back to Jakarta."
"Impossible. I want to be here longer, while on vacation," Alexa said as she got up from the sofa and walked to the table to take her smartphone.
Andrew got up from the couch and walked over to Alexa, then hugged her from behind. "Alexa, I love you. Why don't you just answer right away?"
Alexa didn't flinch when she felt Andrew's face pressed against her shoulder. 'Oh, what should I say? I want to be his girlfriend soon, but I'm afraid he's just like other men who get bored easily when they get love."
Andrew let go of his arms and was about to turn around leaving Alexa who was silent without answering. "It's okay if you still don't answer now. I'll wait but keep my distance."
Alexa immediately turned around and pulled Andrew so he wouldn't leave. "Andrew don't go!"
Andrew smiled faintly, then turned to look at Alexa who was currently holding his hand.
"Why?" he asked.
"Exactly ...."
"What exactly?" asked Andrew with a slight bow to glance at Alexa's face, which looked down shyly.
"I like you and want to accept you, but ... but I'm afraid you're just like other men who will get bored when they get my love and will leave me."
Andrew smiled in relief as he grabbed Alexa's hand with both hands. "Alexa. I'm not a childish guy and I won't be, because I want to be in a serious relationship. I just want reassurance from me."
"Is that true?" Alexa asked as she looked up at Andrew's handsome face that always stole her heart.
Andrew smiled nodding confidently. "I'm not toying with you. Or Ethan will rage and tell people to beat me up if I hurt his beloved cousin." Andrew pinched Alexa's cheek which wasn't too chubby.
"So you're just afraid Ethan will get mad?" Alexa asked with pursed lips.
"No, that's not what I meant," Andrew replied then pulled Alexa back to sit on the couch.
"Maintaining a relationship with a classy girl like you is very hard, Alexa. So, I can't waste you if I have earned the trust of Ethan or your father, your mother, Mrs. Dina, and all your family members. I know myself quite well with my low status. Then I will prove that I am worthy of you."
Alexa instantly blushed at Andrew's seriousness. she embraced the man of her dreams as she said. "I don't care about your status, Andrew. Rich or simple men are the same to me. All I want is seriousness and loyalty. Because all this time I've always got a lover who only incised a wound for me."
