Axell narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the name on the screen calling him at night like this, and it was certain that this was related to what happened this afternoon at Zahra's house.Axell ignored the first call until Axell answered the third call.Hardi.That's the name on the phone tonight. While Zahra seemed frozen, she accidentally saw Axell's cellphone screen, which displayed Hardi's name."Hello, Mr. Hardi," said Axell after sliding the green button on his cellphone."Hello, Mr. Axell, good evening," said Hardi, sounding a little stiff.Axell appeared to activate the loudspeaker on his cellphone so that Zahra could listen to his conversation with Hardi."Evening, Mr. Hardi, what's going on?" Axell asked casually."First of all, I wanted to congratulate you on your wedding. Even though I didn't get an invitation," chuckled Hardi, sounding forced."Thanks, sir. Just the wedding ceremony, sir. The reception may be in three months," said Axell."Hehehe. The world i
The two people left Mr. Ahmad's house, which was not equipped with a fence."Let them enjoy their wedding night first; tomorrow we will execute it," said one of them, grinning.Axell sat with Zahra among Zahra's extended family."What happened there?" asked Mr. Ahmad to open the conversation."Vina and the others broke into the house and destroyed the shop," Zahra answered softly."Insolent, they must be taught a lesson," said Zahra's second sister."Yes, tonight they are staying at the police station," said Axell."Are you serious, Axell?" he asked."Seriously," answered Axell."Good!""But Zahra has decided that tomorrow she will withdraw her report and refuse to give them compensation," said Axell while looking at Zahra.Meanwhile, the others were all focused on looking into Zahra's eyes."There's no point in me suing them. Those who have money, energy, and time will be used up taking care of this. Tonight is enough to be a lesson for them; hopefully they will change af
Zahra followed Axell into the room; the smell of oranges wafted out when the door was opened. The cold air from the AC, which was not turned off all night, immediately penetrated the pores. Zahra paid attention to every corner of the room, which was quite spacious; all things were neatly arranged and equipped with an indoor bathroom. Zahra's gaze stopped on a fairly large photo with a beautiful frame of a dirty village dog. Zahra's forehead furrowed in surprise.Axell noticed Zahra's confusion, then approached."He was the dog who looked after me all night in front of the orphanage when my mother left me there. At that time, he barked all night, hoping that someone would care, but people didn't understand; in fact, they were even more afraid to go out. So I was a baby all night long. The cardboard near the rubbish box is being guarded by a dog while it's cold," said Axell dreamily."Sorry," said Zahra quietly.Axell looked up."For what?" Axell asked."It tears your old wounds,"
Axell looked at Zahra, sweating the size of corn kernels beading on his forehead."Zahra, don't be afraid; we'll be fine. It's crowded, Zahra," Axell said."Yes," Zahra replied quietly.Zahra repeatedly prayed in her heart to reduce her fear. Slowly, Zahra began to feel calm, and Jojo had also returned to the road they should have passed."They've left?" Axell asked Jojo."Yes, seeing us enter a busy traffic area, they chose to detour, probably looking for another way. Let's stay alert," Jojo replied.Axell let out a long sigh."What exactly do they want?" Axell said irritably.Jojo chose to stay quiet and focus on the road, while Zahra was already gloriously calm, sitting in the back.Not long after the car had entered the parking lot of Axell Waned Group, Axell held Zahra's hand tightly towards his room. Although some employees looked closely at Zahra's closed appearance and unusual walk,.Zahra looked down, feeling that many pairs of eyes were watching her. Zahra's confidence immed
"Zahra!"A woman's voice, followed by the sound of her high heels stopping, made Axell and Zahra stop in their tracks and turn around to see who knew Zahra in the Axell Waned Group office.Zahra seemed to be tightening her grip on Axell as if asking for protection, and her hands were starting to sweat, making Axell understand that something was going on between Zahra and one of his employees. Axell knew that this woman was an employee at the Axell Waned Group, but Axell didn't know her or know what department she was in."Delia," Zahra hissed softly."Mr. Axell, is this your wife?" asked the woman Zahra called Delia, but instead asked Axell."Yeah, what's wrong?" Axell asked while putting his arm around Zahra's shoulder."Oh, it's okay, sir; Zahra is an old friend of mine. Isn't that right?" Delia asked, looking at Zahra with an expression that was difficult to predict."Ah yes, how are you, Delia?" Zahra asked nervously."Fine, very fine," said Delia smugly."Excuse us, Miss
"Sorry, boss, we don't dare take risks in the middle of traffic jams," said the two people as an excuse."Once again, you are making excuses; I will guarantee that your fate will be like Ronny's," threatened the fat man while pointing at the faces of two of his men."Yes, boss," said both of them shakily.Not long after, the two of them were thrown out of the house, and the boss expressed his frustration by smashing everything nearby."Axell cannot control the Bening Alam Company; everything must fall into my hands," determined the fat man.*"Papa isn't working?" Tama asked when he saw Axell coming down for breakfast, still wearing normal clothes."Today papa is on holiday," answered Axell while kissing the tops of Tama and Rikel's heads in turn."Earlier, Mommy made fried rice for Ikel and Tama," said Rikel while showing her plate, which contained fried rice accompanied by Rikel's favorite sunny side up egg."Wow, that looks delicious," answered Axell, pretending to want to
Rikel sobbed in Zahra's arms. Axell just watched the two of them silently, while the teacher was just confused. Rikel didn't want to be persuaded at all."They're bad for Ikel!" said Rikel between sobs."Evil, how, darling?" Zahra asked gently while stroking Rikel's hair."They're evil!""Rikel, listen to Papa, dear. What did they do to you? You know what you have to do if you're not in the wrong."Axell asked, aligning his body in front of the child."Yes, Pa, they said that Mommy Ikel was a ninja," Rikel finally answered after his crying subsided."Why is Rikel crying?" Axell asked."Mommy's not a ninja, Pa," said Rikel irritably."In fact, you should be proud if the ninja helps people. You've gone back to class, and Papa and Mommy are waiting here. If anyone still harms Ikel, call Papa," said Axell, telling Rikel to go back to class with the teacher.Finally, Rikel complied, and with the remaining tears, she returned to class, rejoining her friends."I'm sorry," said Zahr
"Sorry, my wife didn't mean to," said Axell while helping Zahra to stand up.Hearing Axell's deep, familiar voice, the woman turned her head. And at the same time, Axell also looked at him until their eyes met; they were both surprised. Especially Axell, his eyes didn't blink at the woman in front of him.He even rubbed his eyes several times to make sure that the figure in front of him was real.Emily.Yes, that woman is Emily, who happened to be at the mall shopping. He don't know what God was planning for them until they met when Axell was already married to Zahra."Emily," Axell hissed softly. However, Emily and Zahra could still hear it."Sorry, excuse me," said Emily, about to walk away. Trying to pretend not to know him.Don't know if there was a feeling she didn't understand when Axell said that a woman with an appearance like that was his wife. Deep inside her heart, there was pain and pain hearing that.Couldn't Axell be just a little more patient? Emily was preparing her he
