"Actually, it was just a prank," Dru said, laughing."A prank on whom?" the journalist asked."On Axell, my old friend who's already successful," Dru replied casually."Where's Mr. Axell now? Why are you here with Axell's mother?" the journalist inquired.Laughing artificially, Dru answered each of the journalist's questions."Axell is out with his children and wife," Dru replied."What about Mr. Axell's wife regarding the rumors circulating?" the journalist asked again."She just smiled; she knows it's just a prank. Besides, I'm quite close to his wife," Dru replied, maintaining a smile.During the press conference, Mrs. Celline remained mostly silent, with Dru being more dominant in answering the journalists' questions. Mrs. Celline only occasionally responded to the media's inquiries, while Axell merely shook his head at Dru's statements."Darling, Zahra doesn't know her," Zahra protested."Something that starts with a lie will lead to more lies," Axell said, choosing to sit on the

Mrs. Celline and Dru widened their eyes at what Axell presented. Mrs. Celline even held the chili to ensure her sight."Axell!" Mrs. Celline called out loudly."Oh my, Axell, do you think I'm a chili crusher to be given chili and tomatoes?" Dru exclaimed angrily, pursing her lips."Ma, what's wrong?" Axell turned around."It's you, what's the meaning of this? Why would you give Dru chili and tomatoes?" Mrs. Celline glared."If other fruits are sweet, their sugar content might be high, but chili and tomatoes, lacking sweetness, won't make you gain weight," Axell replied as he walked back to the dining room.Shortly after, Mrs. Sri came out carrying a plate of fruits to the living room. It turns out Zahra asked Mrs. Sri to bring the fruits to avoid a war."Here you go, Mrs. Dru," Mrs. Sri said politely."Thank you for bringing the fruits, Sri. Otherwise, that kid would've been finished," Mrs. Celline remarked.Axell just laughed."Did you ask Mrs. Sri to bring the fruits?" Axell asked Z

"Didn't we agree, Auntie? Still, Emily is better off, Tama is only five years old. And look at Auntie Axell, she's twenty-seven and already successful. Where have you been all this time, Auntie? According to the orphanage's story, you've never moved," Emily said as she walked away, leaving Mrs. Celline stunned and speechless, hearing Emily's words, all of which were true."And one more thing, Aunt, Emily's status is that of a widow, even though she hasn't remarried yet. What about Auntie? Still a young girl?" Emily turned around and asked."So don't ever say Zahra can't be a good wife, has Auntie ever experienced being a wife?" Emily continued, making Mrs. Celline unable to speak.Luckily, at the same time, Zahra came, seeing the tension between Emily and her mother-in-law."Emily, you're being taken home by Yuda, okay," Zahra said, handing a box to Emily."What's this, Zahra?" Emily asked, surprised."These are the donuts you've made so many of, souvenirs for your employees," Zahra s

"Axell! You scared Mom," Mrs. Celline said."Sorry, Mom, you and Zahra were so serious with your conversation that you didn't notice Axell," Axell replied casually."Have you been here the whole time?" Mrs. Celline asked in panic."Yes, Mom, since Emily left earlier," Axell replied, grabbing a piece of emping from the jar in front of Mrs. Celline.Mrs. Celline's face suddenly went pale upon hearing Axell's words."You're kidding, right?" Mrs. Celline said, forcing a laugh."What are you talking about, Mom?" Axell asked."Hehehe... Just talking about women's stuff. Mom wants to take Zahra shopping," Mrs. Celline said."When? Where?" Axell asked protectively."Zahra doesn't want to," Mrs. Celline replied."Oh really? Why, Dear?" Axell asked, causing Zahra to stutter."Um, because Zahra doesn't know what to shop for, Darling," Zahra replied nervously.Axell sat down next to Zahra, making Mrs. Celline fall silent."Why the sudden stop?" Axell asked, confused."There's nothing else to disc

Axell appeared visibly emotional as he read through each page provided by Mr. Tigor."That Hernadi is audacious," Axell remarked."Yes, sir. It turns out he's been targeting you for a while, but you didn't realize," Mr. Tigor replied."And he used Hardi as his lawyer?" Axell furrowed his brows."Yes, sir," Mr. Tigor confirmed."Or perhaps Hardi has been Hernadi's spy all along?" Axell speculated, playing with a pen in his hand."I don't know about that, sir. But what I know is that in several cases involving Sriwijaya, they usually employ Dania, who is still under the same umbrella as Hardi," Mr. Tigor explained further.Axell sighed heavily, realizing the implications."Alright, Mr. Tigor, I'll leave everything to you. For the expenses, you can directly contact Ari; he's responsible for everything. And I want this case to be resolved thoroughly," Axell stated."Understood, sir. We will work to the best of our abilities," Mr. Tigor affirmed."Thank you, Mr. Tigor," Axell replied, patt

"Doctor, please hurry and help my dad," Tama shouted, leaving Zahra stunned."Oh yes, dear, his wound is severe. We need to operate on him immediately," Zahra said, causing Axell to chuckle and stand up."Why surgery right away, doc?" Axell protested."To speed up his recovery," Zahra replied.Axell sat next to Zahra as Tama and Rikel resumed playing with their toys."Forgive me, dear," Axell whispered in Zahra's ear."Why?" Zahra asked, puzzled."For ignoring you earlier. I was busy consulting with Mr. Tigor about the next steps in Hernadi Sriwijaya's legal process," Axell informed his wife."Why Hernadi?" Zahra asked, confused."The evidence we've gathered is strong enough to put him behind bars," Axell said, holding back his emotions at the thought of Hernadi."Thank God. Hopefully, our life will be peaceful after this," Zahra said, looking at her husband."Yes, dear. I'm tired of living like this, where our movements are restricted and there's always a sense of unease," Axell said

"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

"Who is it?" Axell shouted from inside."It's Mama," answered Mrs. Celline."What's up, Ma?" Axell asked again."Just open the door first," Mrs. Celline yelled."Just wait downstairs, Ma. Axell will come down later," Axell replied, still not moving from his bed."What are you guys doing? Why won't you open the door?" Mrs. Celline asked."We're just busy, Ma," Axell smiled."Busy with what?" Mrs. Celline asked again."Well, exercising, Ma," Axell replied."Why are you exercising this late in the afternoon?" Mrs. Celline asked."Well, what's the difference between afternoon and night, Ma?" Axell answered without budging from his position.Finally, Mrs. Celline gave up.Footsteps could be heard moving away. Axell breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed odd that his mother never gave them any alone time except at night."Who was it, Darling?" Zahra asked, stepping out of the bathroom, the scent of roses wafting through the room."It was Mama," Axell replied casually."Why?" Zahra asked, furr

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.

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
