Exactly at seven o'clock at night, the doorbell rang from Ethan's main door. Ira, who was still loyal to being a maid in the house, imdiately opened the door.
"Good evening, Mrs, is Keyra there?" Aaron asked politely with a smile.
"Yes, please co in, I'll call her," Ira said politely too, then she walked towards Keyra's room which was located upstairs where she had to cross the living room, where there were Ethan and Luna who were enjoying a cup of tea while watching a movie.
"Who's coming, Ra?" asked Ethan.
"Um, a man wants to et Miss Keyra," Ira answered, sowhat hesitantly, because she knew that Ethan was very picky about who his daughter would hang out with.
"Well, call Keyra," Luna exclaid.
Ethan imdiately got up from the sofa.
"Where are you going?" asked Luna.
"I have to see who is the man who dares to co to my daughter," replied Ethan then walked towards the living room without waiting for a response from Luna.
Luna sighed resignedly, she went back to watching tv.
Keyra descended the stairs slowly followed by Ira, then imdiately greeted by Luna.
"Keyra, who is coming, a good man? Your dad is hard to deal with, he must be interrogated." Luna looked worried if Ethan kicked the man out if he was caught being the slightest bit rude.
"Ah, is it true that daddy has t him? That's good, Mo. I want to see how he deals with daddy, at the sa ti I want to see he is gentle or not." Keyra even agreed.
Luna took a deep breath, then turned her attention back to watching TV. "Daugther and father why so like-minded but it's true." Luna monologued with herself.
Kyra walked into the living room where Aaron and Ethan were talking about business, she didn't expect her father to look so relaxed with the man. her father will usually kick her out if he feels the man is not suitable for her.
"Aaron, have you been waiting long?" Keyra asked as she sat down beside Ethan.
"No, your Dad invited to chat. So I'm not tired of waiting for you," Aaron replied casually.
"How long have you two known each other?" asked Ethan with a probing look at Keyra and Aaron.
"Just now on the plane, Dad, we happened to be sitting next to each other," said Keyra.
Aaron nodded as well.
While the three of them were busy chatting, their attention was focused on Keenan who had just entered with unkempt clothes, the tie was not properly attached.
"Keenan, where have you been?" Keyra asked as she got up from the sofa and approached her twin.
", I have business with my college friend," said Keenan a little nervously, then hugged Keyra. "I miss you, My Twin, we haven't seen each other in almost a year."
"Ihhh, you stink, let go of ," said Keyra while pushing Keenan to let go of his embrace.
"You should take a shower first, Keenan, after we have dinner together," Ethan exclaid as he got up from the sofa, then walked towards the living room to approach Luna.
Keenan glanced at Aaron who looked foreign to him. "Who's he?" he whispered to Keyra.
"My friend," Keyra briefly then walked back to the sofa and imdiately sat opposite Aaron.
Keenan walked over to Aaron then held out his hand. "What's your na?"
"I'm Aaron, Keyra's friend," Aaron answered, shaking Keenan for a mont. "You, Keira's boyfriend?"
Keenan smiled faintly because not a few thought he was Keyra's lover when they were together eting new people. "I'm Keenan, Keyra's twin."
"Oh, you two don't look alike, but you look so much like Mr. Ethan," Aaron said with a chuckle.
"If Keyra looks like , maybe she's not beautiful," Keenan replied while glancing at Keyra who didn't like his statent.
"Co on, hurry up and take a shower, you sll so bad!" Keyra exclaid.
"Why to tell , aren't you the one who usually lazy to take a bath, hem?" Keenan even exposed the disgrace.
"That was back then when I was little. Now go or I'll kick your ass!" This ti Keyra had moved from the sofa, approaching Keenan who was standing near Aaron.
"Aw, you are so grumpy." Keenan glanced at Aaron. "Hey, you have to think twice before you approach her because when she's angry, she's like a hungry lion."
"Gosh, why are you being a slanderer? Hurry to the room!" Keyra pushed Keenan to get away from the living room.
"Oh my gosh, Keyra I can walk alone or you want to bathe , hem?" Keenan glanced at Keyra teasingly.
"Geez, you perverted brain!" Keyra imdiately pushed Keenan into the living room, then she imdiately returned to the living room.
Keenan stopped in the living room for a while to just kiss his mother's cheek and drink his mother's tea, because that's his habit.
"Where have you been?" asked Luna.
"My friend's car broke down and was taken to the repair shop he asked to pick him up, when he arrived at his house, he even asked to drink coffee together," explained Keenan lying, because if he was caught bringing a woman living in his apartnt, surely his father and mother would be angry.
"Well, hurry up, take a shower, Mommy will prepare dinner together," Luna exclaid, while Ethan only focused on watching tv.

Keyra sat down on the sofa, facing Aaron who kept staring at her. occasionally the man glanced at the wall that contained family photos when Keenan and Keyra's birthdays were celebrated in Singapore.
"Your family is so harmonious, even complete," Aaron muttered.
"This is because they are gathering, they usually feel lonely because they are busy with their own business," said Keyra with a smile.
"I never felt together like your family, even since childhood, I was raised by my uncle." Aaron started talking.
"Where are your parents?" Keyra asked with a frown.
"They are dead when I was five years old, they had a plane crash. Not even their bodies were found," Aaron explained stoically.
"Oh, God. I'm so sorry to hear this news, I'm sorry about that," said Keyra, looking at Aaron with pity.
"It's okay, anyways it happened a long ti ago, I can only rember them in my heart and sow flowers every year in the sea where the plane carrying my parents crashed," Aaron replied with a stoic smile.
"You are patient, everything must have a lesson," said Keyra while rubbing Aaron's shoulder.
"Yes, I'm sorry even told you, because I want to have a family like in your family photo," said Aaŕron while looking up at the family photo where there were Ethan, Luna, Keyra, Keenan, and Kevin blowing out candles together.
"You can think of this family as your family too because it seems my dad doesn't judge you badly," said Keyra with a smile to comfort Aaron.
"Yes, thanks, but I'm just a stranger. I'm a stranger everywhere," replied Aaron in a desperate tone.
"Why is that, you said you were raised by your uncle, did your uncle exile you?" Keyra asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My uncle has a son who is the sa age as , for so reason he hates , sotis I choose to live in an apartnt instead of being with uncle, but uncle always prevents ," said Aaron looking at Keyra who was so serious listening to every story from him.
"Gosh, I ca just to tell you about , we should just talk about other topics," Aaron said with an awkward smile.
"It's okay, I like your open attitude," Keyra replied with a sincere smile.
