"It's like someone is watching," muttered Axell. Axell went out onto the main road and looked around, looking for the suspicious man, but the man had actually disappeared somewhere. Axell thought for a moment, then took all the toys he had bought earlier and went into the orphanage to meet his younger siblings. "Hello everyone," said Axell when he saw his younger siblings gathered in the living room, busy playing. "Brother Axell." All the children who were busy playing immediately ran to welcome Axell's arrival, especially when they saw Axell coming with lots of toys for them. "How is everyone?" “Fine!” they shouted in unison. A few moments later, Axell was so caught up in the excitement of playing with his younger siblings that he got tired and fell asleep at the orphanage. After lunch, Axell said goodbye to Mrs. Ania and went home. Because he was passing through town, Axell went back to buy some of Emily's favorite foods, which he couldn't find around his house. Axell als
Tut. Tut. Axell continued to hear the beeping of the call without anyone getting an answer. Axell was getting more and more angry until he forgot the reason he had come down earlier: to meet Emily in her room. Tut. "Hello," answered Mrs. Ania's voice on the other side. Finally, Axell called Mrs. Ania, and her mother answered immediately. “Hello, mom. And everything is okay, right?” Axell asked. "Yes, you saw for yourself that we were all healthy and fine. What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Ania. "Did a stranger stop by at the orphanage earlier, mom?” Axell asked. "There aren't any." "An unknown buyer, for example?” Axell asked again. "We don't all know the buyers at that stall; it's also called a stall on the side of the road," answered Mrs. Ania calmly. "Okay then, mom." "What is it?" asked Mrs. Ania curiously. "It's okay, mom; I'll hang up the phone, mom," said Axell. Tut. Call ended. Axell breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure that his mother and all her family were
Emily was already holding the cutter in her hand, looking at Axell, who was sleeping. Emily was silent for a long time, looking at Axell and cutter alternately. At that time, Axell stretched, and Emily swiftly hid the cutter behind her body.It turned out that Axell didn't wake up; he just changed his sleeping position. Cutter was still in Emily's grasp; even cutter's eyes seemed to be directed at Axell.There was silence for a few moments, then Emily broke down in front of Axell, crying."What do I do?" said Emily while looking at her hand, which was still holding the cutter.Emily put the cutter back shakily. Luckily, she quickly realized this before she became a murderer. She suddenly thought about staying in prison and giving birth there; she really couldn't afford it, and that would tarnish Mattew's big name.Emily sat cross-legged in front of her dressing table after placing the cutter in its original place. Emily couldn't hold back her emotions any longer; she cried uncontrolla
Axell was surprised to see that the contents of the envelope were only small pieces of paper, which shocked him. The envelope only contained a small handwritten piece of paper.Maybe Reny accidentally put the envelope in his folder. Axell's teeth chattered when he read the information inside and the writing on the inside of the envelope.Axell's hands were clenched into fists, his eyes showing anger, but who knows who?"It turns out Reny is Mattew's accomplice; why would she do this to me?" Axell asked himself."Luckily, the woman has been moved." Axell continued talking to himself."You think, Reny, that it will be difficult for you to access me. And I guarantee that your life will not be peaceful, Reny," said Axell, still holding the envelope.It turned out that the contents of the envelope were a check worth $2 million as a deposit for doing something.The inside of the envelope said, "You must succeed in making Axell fall into your arms, and don't forget to make a video while you
Exactly at 7.30 in the morning, Axell arrived at the company parking lot, where the other employees' cars were still empty. Indeed, office operating hours start at eight in the morning, but for the factory, it is 24 hours non-stop. Parking between office employees and factory employees is separate.Axell walked casually towards his room. It seemed that the cleaning service was busy cleaning all the office desks before the employees arrived. Axell smiled kindly at Mr. Amir, the cleaning service, who was a little older. Axell remembered that he had once been in Mr. Amir's position at a company, arriving first before everyone else arrived and leaving late to make sure everything was neat and clean and that all doors had to be locked before leaving the room."Good morning, sir," said Mr. Amir."Morning, Mr. Amir. Don't forget to have breakfast first, Mr. Amir," said Axell."Yes, sir, I've finished breakfast at home," answered Mr. Amir with a crisp laugh."Okay, sir, good luck with your wo
Ring! Ring!Axell's cell phone kept ringing. He immediately checked the screen of the flat object; it showed the name of Mr. Mattew, who was calling.Axell lazily answered the call from Mr. Mattew without moving away from Mr. Ardi, who was still typing the appointment letter for the new secretary and transfer letters for the other three people."Hello," Axell answered lazily."Axell, why did you fire Reny?" asked Mr. Mattew without further ado."I didn't fire her, but I transferred her," Axell answered calmly."Yeah, but why?" Mattew asked again."I don't like seductive women because I'm married," answered Axell."You're sanctimonious!" snapped Mr. Mattew."Sorry, sir, all decisions in this company are my responsibility. And it is my right to transfer or fire someone!" Axell answered firmly.Tut!The call was turned off by Axell because he was annoyed with Mr. Mattew, who didn't spy on him enough and still wanted to control him."That's strange; Reny is great; he can immediately repor
Because conditions in the factory were very noisy, Axell's cell phone rang several times but received no answer. Because Axell was busy controlling all existing divisions, getting to know factory employees directly, and asking lots of questions, Gio is in charge of recording all findings, both positive and negative. Axell even went upstairs to check the conditions there, until he was dripping with sweat because of the heat. At five in the afternoon, Axell's activities were finished. Although I am not very satisfied with the results found in the field, However, Axell already has an overview of the operational activities of the factory he leads. Axell returned to the office, first washed his face in the bathroom, and drank a cold drink to wet his dry throat. "Gio, you will type the results of today's notes. You make them as neat as possible, then send them to all division managers and CC them to me," said Axell, giving directions to Gio. "Yes, sir," answered Gio as he sat at his d
"Who did this?" Axell asked, annoyed. Axell went out to the workshop, but Axell was not allowed to cross the line that had been installed by the police. "Can I just come in for a moment to see what's going on inside, sir?" Axell asked the police. "Sorry, that's not allowed. Apart from the investigation team being prohibited from entering and being afraid that you would accidentally touch something and your fingerprints would be recorded there, instead you would be made a suspect," the police explained. "Oh, okay, thank you for the explanation. And please investigate according to the existing facts, sir," asked Axell. "Okay, sir. We will work to the best of our ability," said the policeman kindly. Axell looked back at the flat screen in his hand, and an unknown number sent him a picture of a large fire engulfing Zahid's workshop. Without captions or words, the number only sends photos. When contacted, the number was no longer active. Axell believes this is one of Mattew's actio
Slowly, the ground began to rise; Zahra was truly gone forever and never returned.From a distance, a man accompanied by two other people seemed to be watching Zahra's funeral procession and saw how fragile Axell was left by his wife. He was Axell's biological father, namely Fredd Waned.Slowly, the mourners left the cemetery area, leaving only Axell, Mrs. Ania, Mrs. Celline, her father and mother, Zahra's older siblings, and Jojo and friends.Axell hugged Zahra's gravestone while kissing it."Come on, son, be sincere, be sincere," said the father, reminding Axell and patting Axell's shoulder.Ari and Frans also waited in the distance.Meanwhile, a man dressed all in black had entered a car and was watching Axell, who was still stunned beside the mound of red earth on Zahra's grave, which was full of flowers from inside his car."Come on, son, let's go home," said Mrs. Ania to Axell.Axell only shook his head slowly and was still stunned by his position."Son, let's go home. It looks
The recitation of the holy verses of the Qur'an echoed throughout the room, sounding so compact. Those who had just arrived took their respective positions and immediately became absorbed in reading the holy verses of the Qur'an."Mom," Tama called softly when Emily and Aunt Sri invited the two children to dinner."Let's eat first, son, or you'll get sick," Emily coaxed Tama and Rikel."Do you want Mama's omelet?" Tama said a moment later.Making Emily and Aunt Sri look at each other."Mama will make it, son?" Emily said and went straight to the kitchen. Aunt Inah, who saw that, approached."What do you want, son?" asked Aunt Inah."Auntie, help Emily, Auntie. The children want Mama's omelet," Emily said hoarsely.Aunt Inah, who had seen Zahra make vegetable omelettes several times, tried to make them."Hopefully the children like them," said Aunt Inah, handing over two of the children's favorite vegetable omelets."Thank you, Auntie," replied Emily, who walked towards the dining tabl
"Alma Putri Waned" was the name they gave to their beautiful newborn daughter.Everyone rejoiced over the birth of the biological daughter of Axell Waned, who was once an abandoned child and is now a respected young person.Axell was stunned when he looked at his wife, who was being treated by a doctor and several nurses. Doctor Bella's face looked anxious."Zahra," Axell called to the body, which was already pale and limp.Zahra opened her eyes and smiled at her husband. Axell saw Zahra, who was so beautiful when she smiled, even though her face looked pale."Hang on, dear," said Axell, holding Zahra's hand with tears in his eyes."Hang on, dear, for the sake of our child Alma," said Axell hoarsely.Zahra just nodded weakly. Axell held on and continued to kiss his wife's hand. Meanwhile, his father and mother were also at the tip of Zahra's head.Father continued to recite verses from the Qur'an, Mother continued to whisper the name of Allah in Zahra's ear, and the doctor, assisted b
Rigo drove the car at high speed towards the nearest hospital, where Zahra usually had her check-ups, and also where Doctor Bella practiced.The road conditions on the weekend were more congested than usual, even though Rigo had turned on the hazard lights but still seemed to have difficulty breaking through the traffic jam."Be careful, go," Axell warned Rigo, who honked several times at two-wheeled drivers who seemed to be breaking through the traffic jam."Yes, sir," Rigo replied."Also, look at the pedestrians," said Mrs. Celline."Yes, ma'am," Rigo replied without taking his eyes off the road.Zahra had not felt any severe pain, only occasional pain, and it went away."Honey, forgive Zahra if I did something wrong. Be pleased with Zahra, honey," Zahra said softly."Yes, honey, honey apologizes too. Honey is always pleased with you," said Axell, hugging Zahra tightly while crying."Mom, Zahra apologizes," Zahra said, looking at Mrs. Ania.“Yes, dear, I have forgiven you, and forgi
"Ehm," said Emily, making the couple who were watching the fish in the pond turn their heads."Emily! Come sit here," invited Zahra enthusiastically."Sorry to bother you; I brought breakfast and want to have breakfast together here," said Emily with a smile."Sure," replied Zahra.While Axell just stayed silent and still held Zahra's hand tightly,."Let's have breakfast; Aunt Inah has prepared it," invited Emily."Aunt Celline told me to call you both," continued Emily again."What did you bring?" asked Axell."Uduk rice, fried food, plus siomay," answered Emily happily.“There are so many menus; Aunt Rasi and Aunt Inah also cooked?” asked Axell.“No, because last night I called Aunt Inah and said that I wanted to bring breakfast here and eat with you,” laughed Emily while scratching her head that wasn’t itchy.“Okay, honey, let’s have breakfast,” invited Zahra while pulling Axell’s hand.Axell just nodded, walking, holding Zahra’s hand, and following Emily, who walked first.“What d
“What’s wrong with you?” asked Axell while framing Zahra’s face with both of his hands.“It’s okay, honey; I just want to leave Alma with you,” answered Zahra softly.“Don’t tell me you want to leave, honey.” said Axell.“It never crossed my mind, honey; Zahra never thought about leaving,” said Zahra, holding back her sobs.“So what?” Axell.“None of us know how long we’ll live, honey; we don’t know how long,” answered Zahra.“Honey, I understand; maybe you’re scared of giving birth, huh?” asked Axell.Zahra just nodded.“Think positively and be enthusiastic; we’ll raise our child together. "Darling, I'm always there for you," said Axell, hugging his wife."Don't be afraid; we pray together to Allah. Ask for help and protection," said Axell, gently stroking Zahra's hair while holding back his tears.Axell also thought about what Zahra was afraid of. And he was very afraid of it happening, imagining his child being raised without a mother.Axell lifted his face up, holding back his tea
Zahra lowered her head. However, who would have thought that the woman would walk closer to Zahra?"Zahra, right?" asked the woman.Zahra held Axell's left hand. Axell realized something, turned his head, and put the cellphone in his right hand's pants pocket."Yes, ma'am, what's wrong?" asked Axell."Ma'am? Do you think I'm your mother?" asked the woman rudely to Axell."But the women here are the ones who want to check their pregnancies, so where did I go wrong?" asked Axell in surprise.And now they were the center of attention for the waiting patients."Ma'am Zahra," called the nurse on duty.Coincidentally, Zahra's name had been called, and Axell embraced Zahra casually, leaving the woman.The doctor checked Zahra's pregnancy; everything looked fine. The child inside was also growing very well and moving actively."The gender is already clearly visible," said Doctor Bella.“Doctor, you’re just curious, so what’s the gender, doc?” asked Axell.“It looks like a girl,” answered the
“We’re going to the doctor today, right?” Axell asked Zahra while she was getting ready to go to work.“Let Zahra be alone, honey,” Zahra said while preparing socks for her husband.Axell stopped the activity of his hands that were buttoning his shirt.“What’s wrong?” Axell asked then.“Nothing, honey; who knows, honey is busy. It’s a weekday,” Zahra replied, looking away as she made eye contact with Axell.“It’s normal, right? We check on weekdays. And what’s wrong with that?” Axell asked.“Yes, Zahra is afraid of disturbing honey’s work; who knows, honey is busy,” Zahra replied, pretending to be busy with the socks in her hands.“I work for my own company, Zahra,” Axell replied.“Even though it’s my own, you can’t just set a bad example for your employees, right, honey?” Zahra asked.“What’s wrong with you?” Axell asked, approaching because Zahra always avoided him when their gazes met.“What’s wrong, honey? Zahra is fine, honey,” Zahra replied.Axell held Zahra’s hand as she was ab
"According to my biological mother, he is my biological father. But I don't know if it's true or not, because I can't find his whereabouts," said Axell, looking down."Are you looking for him?" asked Alin."Yes."“Why shouldn’t he be the one to come? You’re already famous, and your mother has appeared in the media admitting that you are his child,” Alin teased.“I was hoping for that, but years after his mother appeared, she still didn’t come. Maybe she’s happy with her family because I’m not the child she expected,” Axell said quietly.“Maybe she’s embarrassed, because he’s a businessman who disappeared without a trace,” Alin argued.“Why embarrassed? I already know the story,” Axell said.“Will you continue looking for him?” Alin asked.“Yes, because I’m afraid of my future descendants. I’m afraid of meeting a blood relative, and we don’t realize it,” Axell said.“Hmmm… Sorry, sir, our story has deviated far from business,” Alin said, smiling.“Ah yes, I was just confiding in you; f
