Current Astra " with the time we get more closer and closer I even went to his house and meet his family members... I learned that he is from mafia family .... But the elder brother of leo handled the mafia system and he was set for the company work ...which was much more safer .
Then one day, Leo was absent.
I kept looking at the classroom door again and again, waiting for him to walk in, but he never did. A day passed… then another… and then a few more. Still no sign of him.
When he finally returned, I couldn't control myself.
The moment I saw him, I rushed forward, hugged him, and kissed his cheeks right there in front of the whole classroom. Leo froze, his face instantly turning red in shock.
Only after doing it did my brain catch up with my actions.
I dropped my head onto the desk, my eyes burning with tears.
"What is wrong with you, Astra… at least check your surroundings first…"
Leo smiled softly and patted my head.
"It's okay, Astra. It's not that big of a deal."
I slowly lifted my head, still feeling gloomy.
"Hmm… where were you?"
He answered calmly, saying he had gone on a business trip, and then his rut had started, but now he was completely fine again.
"Oh… a trip…" I muttered.
He nodded with a small smile.
I kept staring at him.
Leo tilted his head, confused. "What?"
"If you were in rut then did you…" I stared harder, my thoughts screaming.
He immediately grew nervous and denied it, saying nothing like that happened and that he took pills.
I relaxed instantly. "Then it's fine."
Leaning closer with a teasing smile, he asked what I would do if he had slept with someone else.
I crossed my arms and rested one leg over the other.
"Hmph… I will kill you!!"
He gasped, then burst out laughing.
"Why? You love me or something?"
I didn't answer. My face burned red.
Leo stopped laughing. He stared at me in surprise.
"Astra… are you—!!"
I turned my face away.
He smirked.
"Is that so…"
Before leaving, he told me to meet him outside the university that day.
---
Outside the university, I walked out nervously, my mind replaying everything that had happened in class. Near the flower garden, I saw Leo standing alone.
"You can do this, Astra," I told myself, taking a deep breath before walking toward him.
"Ahm… Leo."
He turned around. "You finally came."
I nodded, too nervous to say much.
The next thing I knew, I was frantically looking for Leo's car keys, my frustration boiling over.
"Ahhh!" I threw the grass in my hand onto the ground. "What I thought… and what we are doing now… ahh!"
"I found it!" Leo shouted.
I sighed. "Good for you then."
Suddenly, he hugged me from behind.
A shiver ran down my spine as his body pressed against mine.
"L-Leo… what are you doing?" I gasped, blushing.
He rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Hmm… I wanted to tell you something…"
My heart started racing.
"Ahmm…"
His cheek brushed against mine.
"I think I'm in love with you, Astra."
My heart felt like it would explode. My face burned, my vision spinning.
"U-uhhmm…"
He turned me around to face him properly.
"Do you like me too, Astra?"
I covered my mouth with one hand, my eyes filling with tears.
"I… uhm… yes. I love you too."
Leo pulled out a ring box from his coat pocket and opened it.
"Will you marry me, Astra?"
My head spun, my face felt unbearably hot, tears spilling as I nodded.
"Hm."
He smirked and hugged me tightly.
A few minutes later, a teacher yelled at us, asking why we were sitting inside the flower garden and what was going on.
Leo and I looked at each other… and laughed.
The teacher stood there, confused.
"Did I mess up?"
....
Current Astra closed his eyes, remembering that beautiful moment as he told the story to Aki and Yuri.
"Then we got engaged… had Akira, and then Yuke," he said softly. "Leo became the CEO of AZ Enterprises, while his elder brother—still unmarried—handled the mafia business."
Aki blushed, and Yuri giggled.
"Then what happened, mother-in-law? We want to know what came after."
Astra laughed, but it was forced. His eyes slowly filled with sorrow.
Aki and Yuri gently placed their hands on his shoulder.
"Did something bad happen, Mom?"
Astra clung his hands tightly and nodded his head.
"But first promise me you guys will never tell about this to anyone. I am only telling you—especially to your husband Akira and Yuke…"
Aki and Yuri looked at each other, then smiled.
"Yes, Mother. We promise. We'll keep it a secret."
Astra sighed.
"Okay then…"
When I got married to Leo, everything was going smoothly. We were living a happy life with two kids.but then-
