"Excuse me," said a lilting voice from outside.Everyone looked towards the door, and their eyes widened to see who had come.Vina Adiguna.Who doesn't know what she wanted or how she found out that Zahra had an accident."Relax, why does his face look like he's surprised that I came here? I found out from the news on television that there was another accident there," she said, glancing at Zahra and putting the fruit basket on Tama's bed."Thank you," said Emily."And I also want to make sure that it's okay for Mr. Axell's son to have an accident with Zahra. I'm afraid he'll be the victim," she said, chuckling.Axell seemed to clench his fists and wanted to get up, but was held back by Zahra."Rigo, take this woman out before I make a mistake!" shouted Axell."Yes, sir," answered Rigo."You're aware, Mr. Axell; I told you, right? If you still don't believe it, that's fine," said Vina as she walked away and brushed off Rigo's hand, who was about to drag her out."I can get out myself,"
Emily and the middle-aged woman looked at each other."Emily? This is you, Emily, right?""Mama," Emily muttered softly.Mrs. Sirra or Mrs. Mattew immediately hugged Emily tightly."I'm sorry, I missed you," said Mrs. Sirra, who immediately hugged Emily and cried.Emily just remained silent and slowly raised her hand hesitantly and rubbed her mother's shoulder.Axell was silent while watching the mother and child meet."Since when did you know Tama had an accident?" Mrs. Sirra asked Emily."They had an accident in front of my shop, ma, when they were going to visit to play with me," answered Emily, looking down."Have you been here long?""Yes," answered Emily briefly."Why don't you go home?" asked Mrs. Sirra."What for, ma? Nobody expects me to come home, right?" Emily asked."You and Axell?" Mrs. Sirra asked probingly."Axell and I are just ex-husbands and wives. Axell is already married to Zahra, and why we can be together now is because Tama is Emily's child who is being cared fo
"Ari, I remember something," said Axell, which made Ari frown in surprise at his boss's behavior.Ari chose to sit in the chair in front of Axell and wait for Axell to say something."Maybe that's why Hernadi had the heart to do this?" Axell muttered."Sir," said Ari.Axell then fell silent for a moment, as if he were thinking about something."Mr. Axell, what actually happened?" Ari asked curiously."You're okay, right?" Ari continued again."You think I'm possessed, Ri?" Axell asked, looking at Ari."In the end, I was confused; you called me but didn't say anything to me," protested Ari.Axell just laughed at Ari's honesty."So it's like this, Ri: when there was a businessmen's gathering event last year, I had a chance to chat with Mr. Hernadi, and as a joke, he wanted to set me up with his youngest daughter," Axell told Ari."So what, sir?" Ari asked curiously."I didn't answer anything; I just smiled. I just said there's no way his child would want me to be a widower. I answered j
Axell walked closer to Mrs. Celine in front of the television and accidentally heard Mrs. Celine grumbling to someone, but when Axell heard it, it turned out he was grumbling to Zahra."It's really stupid; the biological mother is there. What do you want to do to order a child around like that?" grumbled Mrs. Celine with a sour face."Who's stupid, ma?" Axell asked from behind, which suddenly made Mrs. Celine stutter."Axell! Since when were you there?" asked Mrs. Celine, ignoring Axell's question."Since earlier, ma," answered Axell casually, sitting next to Mrs. Celine, who looked embarrassed."Do you want mommy to make coffee?" Mrs. Celine asked the child."No need, ma, thanks. I'll just let Zahra make the coffee," Axell said casually."Poor Zahra, her hand still hurts," said Mrs. Celine."Just making coffee; it's okay, ma; it's Zahra's left hand that's injured.""Don't you feel sorry for Zahra?" asked Mrs. Celine."I know and understand Zahra, ma. Oh yes, I heard you say that you'
All eyes looked towards the source of the sound: Emily with her suitcase approaching the dining table."Emily wants to say goodbye to going home because Tama's condition is getting better," said Emily, looking down."But why the rush?" Axell asked."I have to open a shop," answered Emily.Zahra walked over to Emily and led her to sit down."Mommy, where are you going?" Tama asked innocently.Emily looked sadly at Tama's face. The child she once didn't want now loves that child more than anything."Stay here until Tama is completely healed; she needs you," said Zahra quietly.Mrs. Celine and Mrs. Ania were silent; they didn't know whether to hold back or let Emily go. They can see that Emily is now starting to be interested in Axell, and Axell hasn't completely forgotten about Emily."It's not good if you keep leaving the shop; I'll leave Tama with me," answered Emily again."Mommy, where are you going?" Tama asked again."Mama has to go home and mom have to sell," said Emily."Why don
"Hah!" Ari answered wide-eyed when he heard the voice on the other side and stared at Axell's back, which had disappeared behind the door of his room.Ari was surprised that there were people like Axell who were so indifferent, didn't even care, or didn't want to know what was happening in the lobby. Even if you are just asking."Okay, I'll tell the boss first. I'll let you know later," said Ari, turning off the phone.Knock.Knock.Knock."Come in," answered Axell from inside.Ari's face appeared behind the door with his trademark smile."What's wrong, Ri?" Axell asked in surprise."There are guests, sir," answered Ari as he walked towards Axell's table."Hmmm," answered Axell."Sir, the model wants to meet you. Can she come in?" Ari asked."Whose model, Ri?" Axell asked in surprise."That was in the lobby, sir," answered Ari."What do you want to do? Get married; I already have a wife." chuckled Axell."Just for me, sir, if he asks me to marry you," replied Ari."No need; your money
Mrs. Celine stopped eating when she heard the news being broadcast on the television, which was on in the viewing room, which was attached to the dining room.Zahra followed Axell to his room upstairs, even though she didn't know exactly what the problem was."Close the room; just lock it," said Axell to Zahra."Okay," answered Zahra obediently.Axell sat on the edge of his bed and brushed his hair roughly. Zahra rushed into Axell's arms, leaning her head on Axell's broad chest.Axell gently rubbed his wife's head and kissed the top of Zahra's head many times."I'm sorry; since we get married we always been full of problems," said Axell."The important thing is that we face it with grace and sincerity," answered Zahra.Axell tightened his embrace.Krucuk.Zahra's stomach growled.Axell and Zahra suddenly laughed at the same time."You are hungry?" Axell asked, looking at his wife's face."No," answered Zahra."It's all because of mommy, as a result of mommy being reckless enough to as
On the weekend, Axell chose to spend a lot of time with Zahra since the children were busy with Emily. To respect Zahra's feelings, Axell preferred not to stay too long near Emily. He couldn't deny that he hadn't completely forgotten Emily. "Zahra, come sit in the back. Bring me some coffee and snacks," Axell invited Zahra. "Aren't you playing with the kids?" Zahra asked. "Let the kids play with Emily, ask Mrs. Sri to watch them in case Emily can't handle both," Axell said. "Alright, Honey," Zahra replied softly. Unexpectedly, Tama and Rikel insisted on inviting Emily to swim. So, Axell and Zahra had to watch the three of them play in the water. Emily also had to witness the romance between the couple, often causing her to clutch her chest in jealousy. "Mom, Dad, let's swim too," Rikel invited Axell and Zahra, who were sitting on the swing. "Okay, dear, we'll just watch, alright?" Zahra said. "No fun," Rikel shouted, making Zahra and Axell laugh. Tama, Rikel, and Emily were
