Ashlyn, Not Substitute Love
How to Pass the Day

“Hahaaa, .. That's what our family is like! But this is the first time there are twins, because in the genealogy of the Xavier family we always give birth to a pair of twins. But Zhia and Lucia seem like special pedigrees!” noland was proud.

“Of course! Because later there will be blood of the Zaender family also flowing in their bodies,” said Grandpa Roman who was no less want to boast of his Zaender family.

“Ouhya, Grandpa and Grandma! Levi hears that Luca has been attending blind dates with Papah's chosen woman. Is that true?” levi asked who remembered Luca when they were busy discussing the issue of twins.

Now Levi was used to the call, unlike before Levi who sometimes still called both Master and Madam on Noland and Julia as well as on Rayden and Zhia.

Now Levi has even dared to behave the biological children and grandchildren of the Xavier family. He became Zhia and Rayden's daughter-in-law.

“Ouh, .. Really? But why does Brother Luca agree? Wasn't Brother Luca the most anti with the name matchmaking?” cecar Lucia who was surprised because she just found out.

“It's true! We have warned so has Mamahmu, but Papahmu thinks that maybe finding another love will make Luca can quickly forget about Axlyn,” explained Noland who momentarily stopped his chess game, grandpa Roman listened silently to the conversation.

“But it won't hurt Brother Luca even more!” exclaims Lucia who knows exactly how the nature of her twin sister.

“You're right, Luci! Now what Grandma sees Luca as an empty shell. She did go through her days as usual, but actually Luca did not feel alive at all,” said Julia clearly look sad face on her face when telling about Luca.

“What do you mean, Grandma! During this time Luci always video call with Brother Lucia, he looks ordinary and even smiles when Luci shows me this distended stomach,” explained Lucia who does not believe in her Grandma story.

“That's because Luca doesn't want you to worry about him. Especially in the beginning of your pregnancy repeatedly problems occur, Luca does not want anything to happen to you or the baby in your stomach. Because of that whenever you have, then Luca will always smile.”

Noland immediately explained the situation and compared it to what Lucia saw. Levi just silently listened as Noland discussed Lucia's pregnancy.

Because indeed he had asked Luca, not to make his wife worry about his situation that could cause stress or adverse effects to Lucia and their future children.

“True, Lucia! The way Luca goes through his days is by busy himself with his office work, even Grandma had several times to see Luca working at night. Luca would visit Axlyn's grave every day. No matter if he is sick or the weather is not supportive, Luca will still visit his grave.”

Julia added, she explained in detail the activities of Luca after Axlyn's departure.

Then, Julia again said, “Luca, she will act like she is doing fine. However, he would cry bitterly every time he was in front of Axlyn's tomb! Grandma had followed him several times and saw Luca crying there!”

“So, all this time Brother Luca lied to Luci?” lucia asked with tears.

“Darling, don't cry! Maybe Luca did that so as not to worry you about her condition, especially now that you're pregnant!” said Levi who immediately approached Lucia and held her body into her arms.

“Yes, maybe like Levi said! Therefore also Grandma and Grandpa came here to ask you to be close to Luca. Who knows with your presence next to Luca can help him forget a little Axlyn,”, said Julia who expressed her intentions other than wanting to meet Lucia and their future great-grandchildren.

“But Grandma, Brother Levi can't leave his job here! And Luci also can not be far from Levi's sister, because since the twins' pregnancy Luci hormones continue to rise and fall unclear,” explained Lucia, instead she does not want to help her twin sister. However, her pregnancy did not make it far from the husband.

“Grandma understands! Take it easy, Grandma will not force you ‘kok!” julia can understand Lucia's current position.

The conversation about Luca was over. In order for Lucia not to keep thinking about her sister, Julia immediately shifted the topic of their conversation by discussing about Lucia's pregnancy again and preparing for her birth later.

Even so, Lucia still silently thought about her brother's state. But she did not tell anyone, including her husband.

...****************...

The day changed again, ….

That day, just like his usual activities at Xavier's residence. They will always have breakfast together before starting their own activities. Back then, inside the residence there were only Zhia, Rayden, Luca and Regis alone.

Because Noland and Julia are staying at Levi's and Lucia's place that will soon welcome their great-grandchildren. While Ryuga and Rayga have chosen to live in their respective apartments, because they are focusing on their lectures.

Amidst their eating, Rayden suddenly said, “Luca, come to the usual restaurant to meet someone there!”

“Is Papah still arranging a blind date for Kak Luca?” chirp Regis who's heard about this over and over again.

Suddenly, Zhia and Luca immediately stopped their eating when they heard Regis's curse. Luca just stared flatly at her Papa, but in contrast to Zhia who threw a sharp look at her husband.

“Aish, ... This child always interfered,” grumbled Rayden who was upset by the behavior of his youngest son.

“Darling, is it true that you arranged a blind date for Luca again?” lick Zhia was still with her sharp gaze, she was completely inexhaustible with Rayden's thoughts.

“I-iya, baby! But I didn't force Luca to marry her straight away, I just wanted Luca to see her for a little while. Who knows later they will feel suitable and decide to get married,” explained Rayden who tried to reason.

“You are, Ray! I've said it over and over again, never interfere with children's lives. We as parents can only watch over him, give his blessing and remind him if they do wrong. But why are you still like this ‘sih, Ray!” zhia exclaimed who began to show her frustration with Rayden.

“I know, baby! But I really just want to help Luca forget his past,”, said Rayden who unknowingly talked about the late Axlyn again.
