The children seemed enthusiastic to queue up. Ethan gave them a rice box and Luna gave them a toy. she chooses a toy that fits and matches the gender of the child. Provide school equipment for children who are around the age of six and over. next Nathalie handed over the available envelope.
With friendly smiles and greeting the children, the husband and wife share their sustenance until they run out and everything has been equal.
"Hope it is useful and they like our gift," muttered Luna while glancing at the children who were opening their gifts of toys and school supplies. The children show each other gifts and smile happily. Some children immediately eat the food from the rice box they get. They seem very fond of side dishes that they may rarely get.
"Poor them," Ethan muttered. He remembered that he too had lost his father figure. The man thought of Edward too. he remembered that his step-brother's mother had died in childbirth.
"Seeing the baby reminds me of Edward," Ethan said. Luna immediately looked at the baby that her husband meant.
"What's wrong with Edward?" Asked Luna.
"He has lost his mother since he was a baby. he must be sad, I miss him now. It's been a long time since I saw him, is it possible that he is still angry with me for accusing him?" Ethan imagined his childhood with Edward. Although not a real brother, he loved him like his own sibling.
"I don't know," Luna sighed. "There's nothing wrong with hugging him back if you want. The younger ones should start. I don't want you to keep moving away from each other because of me either." She continued because she felt that Edward was not the culprit. considering that man had accepted Viona as his wife.
Ethan nodded in agreement and said, "I'll see him sometime. And don't blame yourself, you're not wrong."
Luna nodded and returned to focus on the charity work. "It's finished, are we going home now?" She asked.
"Yeah, I've got to get to the office right away," Ethan replied, then asked in return, "you're coming home with the bodyguards, It's okay, right?"
"Yes, it's okay," replied Luna.
"We'd better leave now." Ethan led Luna over to the caretaker of the orphanage to say goodbye.
"Mrs, we say goodbye to go home. I have to go back to the office and my wife has to rest at home too," Ethan said politely.
"Yes, sir. We are very grateful for the help you provide," replied the leader of the orphanage, then turned to look at Luna, who was smiling gracefully. "Hopefully you will always be healthy and be given a smooth beginning in the process of giving birth, Mrs."
"Yes, Mrs, thank you for the prayer," replied Luna kindly. Meanwhile, Nathalie, Andrew, Toni, and the three bodyguards did not budge as they watched the interaction between their boss and the leader of the orphanage.
"Then we'll go home now," Ethan said goodbye.
"Be careful," ordered the leader of the orphanage.
Ethan smiled and nodded, then led Luna to the car to go home with her two bodyguards.
"Take care. Don't go to the pool again, I'm worried if you will slip up like last night." Ethan gave a message then kissed Luna's forehead. He still remembered the moment his wife slipped and fell into the pool.
"Yeah, I won't be slip up like last night," replied Luna with a reassuring smile. He kissed Ethan on the cheek and hurried into the car.
After Luna left, Ethan returned to the other car as he was going to the office with his bodyguard. Nathalie and Andrew immediately got into their private cars to go to the office too.

at night, Luna waited for Ethan to come home from work while sitting relaxed in the living room. She feels bored and plays with her smartphone.
"Edward with Viona... They take a photo together," muttered Luna when she opened her Instagram and saw Edward's post on the porch.
"How was the charity, Mrs?" asked Ira while sitting on the sofa opposite Luna.
"Everything is well, Ira," replied Luna. She put down her smartphone and began to tell her story, "the condition of the orphanage building was very poor, I saw the children were uncomfortable they are also wearing uncomfortable clothes, perhaps seldom eating special food."
"Are there a lot of kids there, Mrs?" asked Ira again.
Luna recalled for a moment and then replied, "A lot, about 240 kids."
"Wow, that's a lot, but the place is not quite feasible. Poor them," murmured Ira.
"Ethan has already given money for renovations. Hopefully, it will be carried out quickly so they can find a comfortable place," said Luna.
Ira nodded knowingly, then remembered Ethan's kindness to her. "Mr. Ethan has always been good, I often get bonus money on payday. When my parents were sick too, Mr. Ethan covered all the hospital bills, without deducting my salary."
"Is that true, Ira?" asked Luna, raising her eyebrows.
"That's right, he's kind like Mrs. Dina," answered Ira.
"The kindness of parents always passes on to their children." Luna smiled remembering her kind and aware mother-in-law.
"Yes, the twins will be as well, as Mrs. and Mr. Ethan." Ira imagined that the house would be crowded with the tears and laughter of twins who would be born in about two months.

in another place, Viona was relaxing in the room while playing with her smartphone. While Edward, already sleeping beside her. In fact, at that time it was still eight o'clock at night.
Viona sees many food posts on Instagram. Her attention was drawn to one of the foods he had never eaten. Namely Serabi. The food is shaped like a small pizza with various types of toppings on it.
"It looks so delicious, I want to buy it," Viona muttered, then focused on the watch on her smartphone. "It's not too late yet."
Finally, Viona decided to wake Edward up. She wanted to buy the food with her husband.
"Honey, wake up! Take me to a restaurant." Viona patted Edward on the cheek lightly.
"Hmm. What do you want to go to a restaurant at these nights?" asked Edward, eyes that were not yet fully open.
"Buy this." Viona showed a photo of the Serabi that managed to catch her attention.
Edward glanced at the photo and frowned and asked, "Where can we get this food in a restaurant?"
"In the central Jakarta area," answered Viona.
"Gosh, that's quite a distance. We'll buy it tomorrow!" Edward instead covered his face with a pillow. He was lazy to hear Viona's craving chatter.
"Honey, come on. If we leave now, it might be ten in the evening. The restaurant is open until eleven." Viona tries to persuade Edward. she opened the pillow that covered her husband's face.
"Tomorrow I will take you!" Edward insisted on refusing.
Viona felt annoyed, disappointed, ah ... she felt like she was not loved. Because her feelings are still sensitive, she suddenly cried because she wanted the food so badly.
"Even though I just want you to take me, what's so hard? So far I've never asked you." Viona grinned at Edward's annoyance, who was still sleeping.
Hearing Viona continues to cry, Edward finally forced himself to get up. although his eyes are difficult to compromise to be literate.
"It's late, Honey. We'll buy it tomorrow." Edward persuades Viona with his seduction.
"It's still eight o'clock. Until there the restaurant will still be open!" Viona insisted again.
Edward sighed. "I'm so sleepy, honey. danger if I insist on escorting you. We might get an accident because I was driving sleepy."
"But I want now, we eat together there!"
"Please ... tomorrow. I promise to do whatever you want. Going around Jakarta looking for a variety of foods that you might like, I will do!" Edward persuaded while hugging Viona from the side.
Viona turned around to face Edward.
"Promise?"
,
"Yes I promise!" Edward confirmed.
"Yes, just watch out if you don't keep up!"
"Yes, I will keep I also understand you have cravings, I don't want my child to feel sorry for not following your wishes." Edward embraced Viona. Hoping that his wife can divert his desire to the restaurant, can be postponed.

It's ten o'clock in the evening. Ethan gets out of the car and walks into the house. He just came home from work.
"Just got home." Luna approached her husband who had just arrived. Since earlier she was waiting in the living room.
"Why have not you fallen asleep yet?" Ethan asked as he took Luna's hand and led her to walk up the stairs to the room.
"I'm waiting for you because it is difficult for me to sleep if you are not there," replied Luna.
"Tomorrow I won't be overtime again."
Arriving at the room, Luna immediately prepared warm water for Ethan's bath. While waiting for her husband to take a shower, the pregnant woman tidied her husband's clothes and prepared a change of clothes.
Drett ... Drett....
Luna's smartphone placed on the bed vibrated. she immediately takes itan and sees incoming call from Shandra, then answers it right away.
"Hello, Sis."
"Hello, Luna. I'm at the airport now. I'm going to Batam," said Shandra from the phone sounding panicked.
Luna frowned then asked, "why suddenly, what's wrong, Sis?"
"Daddy had an accident, his condition is critical," replied Shandra, sounding sad
