"Everyone happy today?" Axell asked Tama and Rikel after they came home from the mall and bought lots of books.

Yes, Tama grew up to be a child who liked to read; he likes to read any book. That's why every time Tama asks to buy a book, Axell never refuses; no matter how many books Tama takes, he will definitely be paid. In fact, one of the rooms in his house has been transformed into a mini-library for Tama. All the books that Tama bought are neatly arranged there, and every now and then Tama will definitely re-read them.

"I'm glad, Papa," answered Tama as he opened the plastic covering his books.

"Why did you open all the plastic?" Axell asked.

"Well, let it be displayed in a cupboard in the library. When you want to read, just take it," answered Tama slurredly.

"Can you borrow one?"

"Yes, please choose, Papa. Which one do you like?" Tama answered.

"Let's take a look at this one," said Axell as he took a picture book about animals.

"Read it, don't look at it," said Tama.

Let me introduce her," said Frans."I don't even know you, but I asked to introduce you," said Axell casually."Oh, so what's the story? They said there was already a candidate.""Yes, I'm just a candidate; I haven't met her yet."Frans seemed to pat his forehead as a sign of confusion with his boss's line of thinking."You get additional assignments; this afternoon we will pick Tama and Rikel up from school. After that, I will tell you about the assignments," said Axell."Yes, sir," answered Frans wearily."Why aren't you enthusiastic?" Axell asked."Cheer up, sir.""Okay, get ready; we'll leave in a moment to pick up Tama and Rikel."Frans just nodded.

    Because he was annoyed, Hardi finally called security to secure Prasetyo."What is he doing here?" Axell asked suspiciously and looked at Hardi questioningly."Ooho... Relax, bro. Don't be so suspicious," answered Hardi with a chuckle."Yes, because why is he here? His attorney is not you," said Axell, expressing his opinion."I don't know; my assistant came here early in the morning and said he wanted to meet me. Before I could meet him, you guys had already arrived," answered Hardi."Okay, continue," said Axell, sitting back and just being a listener because he felt he had no right to interfere there.After three hours of consultation, all management and correspondence were finally handed over to Hardi and his team."Fer, you accompany Mr. Royi and my mother; I want to look for a house," said Axell on the phone."Yes, sir.""I'll wait at Hardi's office," said Axell, who then gave instructions."Ready, boss," answered Ferdi."You might as well find an honest driver to brin

    "I'm firing you starting next week!" Axell said with a serious face to Frans."Why? What did I do wrong, sir?" Frans asked, starting to panic."Lots!""Give me an example, sir," protested Frans."Because you have the ambition to become President and Director," said Axell casually.Frans was very surprised and confused because yesterday Axell even praised his enthusiasm and was given a project to find a company to lead."But yesterday, you supported me," said Frans."Yes, this is a form of my support so that it can be realized soon." Axell answered casually."How will it happen, sir, if you fire me?" said Frans wearily."So you're not sure you can?" Axell asked."Sure, sir, but if I get fired now, I'll be pessimistic. I'm just dreaming that I'll be fired," answered Frans, taking a deep breath."Okay, sir, if you'll excuse me," said Frans, leaving Axell's room.Frans stood wearily while Axell just smiled."I fired you from the Axell Waned group because I will place you as CEO for both L

    "Are you sure the data obtained is accurate?" Axell asked Frans, still not believing what he had heard."Very sure," answered Frans confidently."Who is your source?" Axell asked."There are three—neighbors on the left and right and the babysitter," answered Frans."Crazy. The babysitter wants to talk?"Axell asked."The nanny didn't tell the full story; she only said that Grita was divorced when her child was two months old. She didn't tell me why," answered Frans."Ohh... Have you ever asked someone other than the three people above?" Axell asked."Yes, the shop is located at an intersection not far from his house. But he didn't want to tell the full story, only saying that Grita was a widow who had been widowed for about a year," answered Frans."Okay, the candidate is cancelled," said Axell, sipping his mineral water."But this story wasn't written by you so you could get close to her, right?"

Earlier, he had passed this road because he was making a detour to avoid traffic jams from the cafe where Frans had taken him to his house."Was it just a hallucination?" Axell thought as he drove his car.Tama had called dozens of times, asking where Axell was.'[Where have you arrived, Pa? Tama and Ikel are ready.]' A voice message was sent by Tama to Axell to come home immediately.'[Wait a twenty minutes.]' answered Axell via voice message.‘[It's been a long time, Papa.]’ Tama's answer made Axell laugh.

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.

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

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.

    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?

    "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
