The Gabrian heart stopped beating. He did not believe what he saw. Andrea stood up while smiling towards him.
"Mommy, he said he couldn't pick her up so ask uncle to pick her up" said Angelia who was in Gabrian's arms.
Gabrian. If the woman who is now standing while hugging Bernetha is Andrea.
"Mommy misses you." Andrea.
"It was also just this morning separated, mommy was already kangen with us. Mommy really loves us, huh?" bernetha said that kissing Andrea's cheek made her smile happily.
"We go eat ice cream, yuk!" bring Gabrian.
"But eating his ice cream near the house alone is uncle. So there's a swing." Angelia.
"OK." Answer Gabrian. Heart's flowering. I don't know why he was nervous to be close to Andrea.
When they were sitting in the Gabrian car, Bernetha immediately asked Andrea to sit in front.
"Mommy, sit just the same uncle. Poor uncle himself."
For the sake of her children, Andrea sat beside Gabrian. The woman was also seen nervously sitting near Gabrian.
During the trip to the ice cream shop, Gabrian and Andrea did not say much. Both of them only heard the babbling of their two daughters and their funny behavior
t mimics the style of some friends in their class who love to cry if abandoned by their parents.
"That means Lia and Etha are great don't cry even if no one is watching?" Gabrian.
"Sure dong, uncle. You also have to cry. We're all grown up. The crying is just a baby." The word Bernetha made Gabrian and Andrea both look at each other with a smile.
Finally we arrived at the ice cream shop. Bernetha and Angelia ordered strawberry flavors and immediately sat down at the child-only table available there while Gabrian and Andrea sat at the adult-only table.
"Aren't you eating ice cream?" gabrian asked, breaking the silence between them.
"I'm still full." Reply Andrea. He glanced at Gabrian and then refocused on their twin daughters who were still eating ice cream while occasionally playing toys that were available at each children's table.
"I'm happy that you came here." Gabrian said between his beating heart so fast.
"I thought about Alana. It would be unfair if he had to take care of the twins while he was waiting for the birth of his first child with Inzagi. Surely Alana wants to give birth in the kingdom as we have always wanted. Giving birth in the kingdom, the future mothers will get a series of special ceremonies and prayers from the elders. When we were small and often peeked at the ceremony, we both often said we wanted to like that. If the twins along with Alana continue, surely he will not be able to pass the 3 monthly, 6 monthly and 9 monthly ceremony."
"You yourself don't experience that."
"No problem. Because I got 2 kids at once. During pregnancy the twins never troubled me at all. It's just that during their childbirth I had to have surgery because my own condition wasn't strong enough to give birth normally."
Gabrian looked at Andrea with great admiration. "I'm proud of you, Andrea. Must not be young through all this."
"Aunt Grace, special came from London and accompanied me to give birth. Eilaria asked her mother here, at my mother's request as well. Aunt Grace even stayed here for 1 month."
"God bless their goodness."
"Amen."
Both are silent again. Their view only focused on the twins who were now playing the swing.
"Ian, you were in the car calling the twins Lia and Etha. Is that your special call to them?" This time Andrea started the conversation.
"Daddy Jero called them that way. And finally the whole family called them that."
"Said Alana, if the twins have gone to your house, then they often do not want to go home."
"Yes. Daddy and Mom always pamper them. When I first brought them home, my mother even cried for a long time because she was happy. Daddy couldn't even sleep all night because he kept thinking about the twins. Thank goodness Alana allowed me to meet the twins whenever I wanted."
Andrea looked up at Gabrian. He seemed hesitant to say something.
"What's up?" gabrian asked as if he could understand Andrea's unease.
"Alana, next week he'll be back in the kingdom. The content will enter the age of 3 months. She will be having her first pregnancy. So I'm going back with the twins. Alana means that the twins are not confused anymore so they must know that I and Alana are twins like you and Iel. And Alana wants the twins to call you da. daddy instead of uncle."
"of course. That's what I want." Gabrian touched Andrea's hand on the table. "Andrea, let's rebuild our domestic relationship from the beginning. I told you that I love you and want you to be a part of my life forever. I want our children to live in a whole family."
Andrea pulled her hand slowly as she saw Bernetha staring at them in bewilderment. "Ian, I want us to go through it slowly. We make the twins accept you first as their daddy. We are talking about the status of our relationship. Who knows as time goes by you will meet someone who will...."
"No!" Gabrian again grabbed Andrea's hand and clasped it tightly. "I just want you to be the last woman in my life. I can't change."
Andrea's tears fell without her being able to hold back. Being loved is beautiful, right? Especially if we are loved by someone who loves us.
***********
At first, the twins were a bit confused when they saw their mother had two. But after Giani explained that it seemed like Angelia and Bernetha, as well as Gabrian and Gabriel, they finally accepted although they still did not want to call Gabrian with the name daddy. Gabrian quite understood, because in their view their daddy was Inzagi.
After Alana returned to the kingdom, Gabrian actually invited Andrea to live together in their home. Andrea chose to stay at home. While reimagining his relationship with Gabrian until he is completely ready to accept Gabrian as a part of his life.

Gabriel frowned, looking at Gabby sitting in front of him. He felt he had no appointment with Eilaria.
"Please let him in!"
Not until 2 minutes, Eilaria had entered Gabriel's room. The girl was a little surprised to see Gabby there. Eilaria quickly changed her surprised face with a smile.
"Good afternoon. Am I interrupting?"
"No. We're talking about some work. Let Eil sit down." Bring Gabriel.
Eilaria took a seat in front of Gabriel and Gabby.
"What do you want to drink?" gabriel asked, standing up and calling Gerry.
"I don't want anything. I just want to talk to Iel." Eilaria.
"alright. Just talk to me." Gabriel said. It looked so ordinary he spoke and it was very hurtful to Eilaria.
"Eh..this." Eilaria said as she looked at Gabriel and Gabby in turn.
Gabby stood up. "Iel, we'll continue. I was in my room. Eil, please!" Gabby said kindly and then walked out of Gabriel's room.
Eilaria. Gabriel's change in attitude really made him feel like he was no longer needed.
"Please Eil! What do you want to talk about?"
"I..., I."
"What do you want our relationship to be like?"
"You used to say that you wouldn't divorce me unless I asked for it."
"Yes. I still hold my word. Even though what I've seen, without you asking, you've already determined the status of our relationship."
"What do you mean?"
"You're not using Dawson's name anymore, are you? You're back in Thomson's name. So there's a piece of paper we're gonna sign together as a formality."
"Iel, it's not like that, I..."
"5 years I've been waiting for news from you. You cut off contact from me yourself. I actually want to know the news about you, want to congratulate you on your birthday, want to give encouragement while you're in college, want to pray for you when you're sick. But you're the one who closed the road for me to meet. And now you're still asking about the status of our relationship? I'm tired Eil. Tired of this uncertainty. Tired of you not being able to determine where your heart will be anchored."
"Iel, don't you love me anymore?"
"Did you never know how much I love you? Can't these five years prove to you all my feelings?"
"Iel, I.."
"What's? You want to tell me that you love me? Love requires sacrifice, Eil. And I've sacrificed enough all this time for you. Sacrifice has its limits. That's what I think."
Eilaria. He took his bag. "I'm leaving!" Pamphitt.
"Are you going to keep running without solving any of our problems? It turns out that for 5 years, you haven't grown up yet."
Eilaria's steps stopped. He looked at Gabriel with his face. "What do you want, Iel?"
Gabriel approaching. "Feelings, Eil. A feeling that is no longer overshadowed by two faces with the same taste. That's what I want to know."
The two stood facing each other. Their distance is so close. Their eyes were met with a gaze that was difficult to decipher.
Eilaria took one step forward, and out of nowhere she got the courage she had, she wrapped her one hand that was not holding the bag to Gabriel's neck and quickly kissed the man's lips.
Getting such an attack was of course Gabriel was shocked. But not until a few seconds, he had returned to the taste that Eilaria gave on his lips so that his hand immediately coiled on Eil's shoulder and deepened their kiss.
"Iel, I'm going to pick up the twins for....." Gabrian who entered suddenly without knocking on the door was immediately shocked to see the hot kiss scene. "Sorry, I..."
"We're done." Eilaria said with a red face. He picked up his bag that had fallen to the floor and immediately left Gabriel's room.
"Basic bully!" gabrian's annoyance made Gabrian laugh and immediately walked out of Gabriel's room before hearing the expressions of his twin's annoyance.
************
What was the reason that Iel had acted and spoken such words to Eilaria?"
Anyone know Iel's wishes with his attitude towards Eil?
Where's mom's comment.....
