"Dad, Tama and Rikel want to go to school with Mom today, Dad. Please," both of his children pleaded with pitiful expressions."Mrs. Sri, what's the matter?" Axell asked, looking at their caregiver."It's okay, Dad, we just want to be with Mom for once," Tama replied."Tell me the reason first," Axell said, wiping his mouth with a tissue."We want to be like our friends who are always waited for by their moms," Tama and Rikel answered simultaneously, looking down.Axell saw the sadness in their faces."Alright. But be careful," Axell said, stroking Tama's head."Hooray! Thank you, Dad," Tama and Rikel exclaimed, running to hug their father.Zahra just smiled at the joy of her two children. They had repeatedly insisted on being escorted by their mother, but Axell always refused.Axell's reasons for not allowing Tama and Rikel to be escorted by Zahra were not without merit. He wanted to let his mother know that there was someone responsible for certain tasks in this household, not every

Mrs. Ania, who saw Mrs. Celline coming out of the room carrying a large suitcase, immediately approached her."Where are you going?" asked Mrs. Ania, holding Mrs. Celline's hand."I'm going back to my house. It's pointless for me to stay here since my child never appreciates me, never acknowledges my existence, and even dares to shout at me," replied Mrs. Celline while crying, glancing at Axell and Zahra who were eating.Zahra chose to stop eating, while Axell seemed indifferent and continued eating, only glancing briefly at his mother who was playing her act. Playing the victim."Let's talk about this calmly. Wait until Axell finishes eating," coaxed Mrs. Ania, guiding Mrs. Celline to sit on the sofa in front of the TV. Meanwhile, Mrs. Sri chose to go back to her room, not wanting to get involved in her employer's family matters.Mrs. Celline complied, sitting on the sofa while wiping her tears as if she was the most mistreated person, when in fact, it was quite the opposite compared

Sometimes a wife’s intuition is never wrong, and that was the case with Zahra. Normally, even if Axell came home late, Zahra would never call. But today, she suddenly did."Where are you, dear? Sounds like you’re on the road?" Zahra asked."No, I’m still at the office. I'll be home soon," Axell replied, slightly nervous.Zahra stared at her phone screen; something was off about Axell. Yuda had said Axell wasn’t at the office, but Axell claimed he was."Maybe dear Axell was in another room," Zahra murmured, trying to stay positive about her husband. She knew Axell had never lied to her before.Axell arrived at the office and went straight to the bathroom, cleaning up. He waited until his hair dried before heading home. The guilt towards Zahra haunted him."Earlier, Mama called, and I looked for you but couldn’t find you in your office," Yuda mentioned as they were on their way home."My stomach was really upset, so I was probably in the bathroom," Axell replied nonchalantly while delet

"Dad, Mom, what are you looking at?" asked a beautiful woman who looked like a model."That's your brother," said her father, pointing at Axell and Zahra who were eating.The woman immediately turned and gaped when she saw Axell in person."Let's go over there, Dad," she suggested."No," her father replied.At the same time, Fred and his wife and child were also enjoying dinner at the same restaurant as Axell and Zahra."Who's the man next to him, Dad?" asked Alin, Fred's daughter."That's his bodyguard," Fred replied, without taking his eyes off Axell."Wow, so low-profile, even eating at the same table with his bodyguard," admired the child."Yes, his foster mother is really good and has raised him well. If he was raised by Celline, he wouldn't be like that," said Fred."Just like you," murmured his wife."Is that his child?" asked their daughter, curious."That's the child Axell took from the orphanage and is raising with Mattew's grandson," Fred replied.Fred's youngest daughter,

"What time will they be back?" Axell asked Zahra. "They said they were on their way," Zahra replied. "Okay," Axell answered briefly and sat on the sofa, playing with his phone. Zahra, who was putting on her hijab and niqab, glanced at Axell who was smiling at his phone. Curiosity stirred in her heart, but she chose to remain silent and never pried into Axell's phone. Zahra was too afraid of the truth, scared of finding something hurtful. It's not that she was suspicious, but she knew who her husband was. There must be many women offering themselves to him, even if Axell didn't respond, it would still hurt to see him being flirted with by others. "Honey, let's go downstairs," Zahra said, now fully dressed in her hijab and niqab. "Are you ready?" Axell asked. "Yes, let's go down and wait for Tama while watching TV," Zahra invited, pulling Axell's hand. "Let's go," Axell responded. They descended the stairs and found Mrs. Ania and Mrs. Celline watching television while en
