When Jason was about to unfasten his seat belt, he was immediately stunned as silence greeted. Jason turned his head to the side, his smile immediately expanded when he found Aurora peacefully asleep. Apparently, throughout their journey, he did not realize that Aurora had fallen into sleep. His mind was completely focused on the road and wanted to quickly get to the orphanage so that the woman would immediately rest. Jason exposed his body to Aurora, looking at the beautiful face in silence. Then his hand, touching the side of Aurora's head. Jason smoothed Aurora's furthest hair covering part of her face, tucking it behind Aurora's ears. The touch is as light as a feather, gently caress Aurora's face. Aurora's deep sleep habit of not waking up under any circumstances made Jason shake his head. This woman is very careless in taking care of herself, which is why Jason never lets Aurora go home without him after finishing work. Because this woman is a sleeping creature that can fall asleep anywhere without careful consideration first.
Jason reflexively retracts his hand as Aurora moves her head and wriggles slightly in search of a comfortable position, straining her back. The woman was now asleep on his chest, making Jason's heart beat faster. He stared deeply into Aurora's face, enjoying every beauty of her beautiful face line. Sensual lips, thick black eyebrows, tapering and thick eyelashes, complete with a sharp nose, further add to Aurora's beauty. Until now, not a single woman has thrilled his heart. In contrast to just seeing Aurora, Jason could not resist falling in love with her. Because in the end, who can guess that his friend can vibrate his heart? Jason slips his hands behind Aurora's head, pulling gently to then rest comfortably on his chest. He did not want time to quickly pass, driving away this rare warmth. Jason immediately pressed his face against Aurora's head, closing his eyes for a moment as if enjoying that serene calm.
It's so cozy, I kind of Found My Home With You Aurora.
Jason raised a faint smile on his lips while whispering those words.

"Ken, what are you doing there?"
Hearing his name called out suddenly made Ken's back tighten for a moment. With a lightning movement, his hand pulled the long white cloth, closing the glass window that revealed the outside world. Then Ken turned around, throwing a flat gaze as if nothing had happened to Shasa.
"Nothing. Just counting the stars." He said briefly. There was absolutely no change in his expression.
"What did you say? Counting the stars?" as she stepped closer to Ken, she spoke. Shasa's forehead even frowned in confusion at the man's implicit answer.
"What do you want to do?" Ken immediately blocked Shasa's Steps who were about to go to the glass window.
"Want to see the stars? What else?" Shasa said she didn't want to lose.
"No need. The star is gone." Ken gripped the curtains tightly, hiding something behind the glass window.
Shasa's forehead furrowed even more. "What are you saying? A second ago, it was still there. Now you say not. I think you're too smart to make your brain sometimes malfunction." Shasa hissed in a rough voice, then turned her eyes behind Ken's back. "Get Out Of Here, Ken. I no longer want to see the stars. Aurora, until now, never go home. I was just wondering if Uncle Jason's car was in front of the House?"
Ken swallowed, his face turning deathly pale while his body froze. His brain is forced to think hard, composing words so that Shasa can undo his intention. But he lost his vigilance, because without realizing it, Shasa has stepped towards the door. Ken forced his consciousness before then running to resist the movement of Shasa's hand that was about to open the door. However, in the same second, Ken and Shasa immediately turned their heads together when they saw the door had been opened. Luckily, Shasa immediately stepped aside, otherwise he might moan in pain because he was hit by the door that opened suddenly.
"Aurora?" Shasa's beautiful face shone, her eyes sparkled with joy when she discovered Aurora's presence there.
"Hey... why aren't you guys sleeping?" Aurora said softly, immediately kneeling in front of Shasa and opening her arms to welcome the woman's embrace.
"I can't sleep. I was so worried about you. You rarely come home so late." with a spoiled whining tone Shasa spoke, sticking his face on Aurora's chest.
"I'm sorry dear, the cafe is very crowded today, and it makes me have to work even harder, so forget about the time to go home." Aurora said weakly, her face filled with guilt.
Shasa pulled her face, then brought her hands together, cupping Aurora's face in her tiny palms.
"Don't overexert yourself, Aurora. You know it's not that if I love you so much, I don't want you to get sick." Shasa spoke with teary eyes.
Aurora chuckled softly, then kissed Shasa's forehead briefly.
"Okay, honey, I'm home. So please don't cry." Aurora flanked the tip of Shasa's nose slowly with her fingers.
Along with the completion of Aurora's words, Shasa's face shone brightly again, her tiny lips bringing out a big smile. Then Shasa threw her body into Aurora's warm embrace.
Aurora immediately wrapped her hands around Shasa's small shoulders, then kissed the little girl's cheeks gently. Aurora's eyes fell on Ken, who had been staring at their interaction silently. The man was used to seeing intimacy between herself and also Shasa. For this reason, Ken could only flinch, not at all interested in getting involved in the atmosphere.
"Mrs. Amira is asleep?" says Aurora slowly, towards Aurora.
Ken opened his mouth to respond to Aurora's words, but a voice that followed behind his back instantly discouraged him.
"I've been waiting since. You don't understand how dizzy mom is in the face of Shasa's stubbornness that forces her to stay out of bed before seeing you." Amira said with a sigh, looking at Shasa in annoyance.
"You don't want dinner? I have cooked your favorite food and all the children of the orphanage have also been fast asleep since." She continued to give a firm answer when she found Aurora's brown eyes looking at the entire room, trying to find the whereabouts of other orphanage residents.
Aurora smiled in a knot, dragging her body from Shasa before then standing up from a kneeling position. Aurora threw a soothing look when she saw Shasa about to protest, which immediately made the little girl clench her mouth.
"Thank you, mom, but I'm not hungry right now. I just wanted to sleep. My whole body felt numb and wanted to be laid down immediately." Aurora's fingers were raised towards her back, giving a gentle massage there.
Amira's mother let out a quick sigh. "Okay, you can rest. Ken and Shasa need to get some sleep, anyway. Tomorrow they have to get up early to go to school."
Shasa's face instantly turned sour when she heard Amira's last sentence.
"Can't I enjoy my sleep all day without having to think about getting up early just to go to school? It feels very annoying if you have to get up early." Shasa said with a thick, irritated attitude, making the atmosphere between them quiet for a moment.
Aurora's smile unraveled quickly, her head looking down at Shasa, who seemed reluctant to return her gaze and threw her gaze towards the floor.
"You idiot. If you don't go to school, how can you change your future?" in the end it was Ken who first broke the silence with his scathing sentence, making Shasa raise her head quickly and then throw an angry look at the man.
"I'm not talking to you. Why did you take my word for it?" Shasa released her hand violently from Aurora's grasp, stepped closer to Ken, and then raised his chin like he wanted to challenge.
"Use your brain well before your mouth speaks. You are so stupid." Ken continued, then slipped a thick insult in every word.
Ken's words, of course, further ignited Shasa's anger. Bravely, he lifted one of his legs then stepped on Ken's foot as hard as he could, making the man instantly scream loudly in pain.
"Shasa, what are you doing?" Amira ran up to Ken, hugging the man with alacrity.
While Shasa still installs a calm attitude, not caring about Ken's pain. Until when she felt a touch on her back followed by Aurora's soft voice, Shasa's face immediately looked down full of guilt.
"You've gone too far, Honey, apologize to Ken." Aurora's tone of voice remains soft. Her patience is truly amazing.
Shasa squeezed both hands, "he taunted me and said I was stupid. Don't I have a right to be angry with Aurora?"
"Darling" Aurora's fingers grabbed Shasa's chin gently then confronted her, bringing their views together. "Just because you're being ridiculed doesn't mean you should retaliate harshly like that. Ken didn't mean it, he just couldn't have said it with better words. Apologize to him, because asking for forgiveness will not make you a humble person. You understand me, hm?"
Shasa shrank her tears and looked at Aurora sadly. Then she nodded her head weakly, then turned her back, about to step towards Ken before the sound of the door being opened violently jerked her back and reflexively disallowed her intention.
Aurora, who heard the door as if it was being broken down strongly, immediately turned over. At that moment, Aurora's heart was about to jump out when she saw Darren standing proudly at the door. The man smiled obliquely as his eyes stared into Aurora's eyes as if through her chest. Aurora's breath choked, her body frozen stiff. Even when the man spoke, Aurora did not hear clearly at all, for her intense heartbeat made her concentration break.
Darren raised his eyebrows before then speaking in a stern, cold voice.
"We meet again Aurora. If I remember correctly, this is the third meeting. Isn't that a sign that we were together?"
