The threat from Jesi made Joan nervous. So he immediately followed Reina to the backyard to apologize for teasing her earlier."They seem perfect to be matched in the future," quipped Airin, which was agreed and nodded by everyone.A shoulder-length haired girl, with dimples on both her cheeks, smiled as she watched a man running around the swimming pool.The man seemed to be chasing a beautiful girl, with her straight black hair left loose. They both seemed very close and... in love. It seemed."You have to forget the feelings in your heart, Zel. You'll never be able to reach him even though you both live under the same roof," Anne approached the beautiful girl with shoulder-length hair. Who was none other than Azelia, her eldest daughter.Azelia, who was watching Azio and Joana running around the edge of the pool, could only nod. Her mother had repeatedly asked her to realize her status.She had tried many times to accept the reality that she was just a child of a housemaid and a ga
"Is that so?" Fachri teased. Bringing one of his hands to slip inside Airin's blouse.Groping her back, to unhook the clasp behind. To make it easier for him to enjoy the two mounds that had always been his favorite."I'll lock the bedroom door first. It's not funny if the kids suddenly come in and see what their mommy and daddy are doing," Airin whispered. When Fachri tried to remove the long skirt she was wearing.Fachri just nodded. Letting Airin go to lock the bedroom door. As he waited, he undressed himself so he could enjoy their lovemaking this bright afternoon.According to what Fachri wanted. When he finished undressing, Airin, who came back, began to undress herself one by one.So that by the time she reached him, she was ready to serve her husband.And as if Airin knew exactly what Fachri wanted, she immediately took control of their game this afternoon.After decades of marriage with Fachri, there was certainly no awkwardness felt by Airin. She was so free to satisfy her a
And although Anne and Ardan were both reluctant, they eventually relented. Because Airin pleaded with them to approve of the arranged marriage.So the wedding took place. Azio and Joana, who once dreamed of getting married, could still find a bit of happiness. Because they got married on the same day, although with different partners.They both also worked on themselves and mended their hearts. Transforming the love between lovers into that of siblings. And replacing it with love for their respective partners. Why did everything seem so easy and painless?Because Azio and Joana convinced themselves right away that they weren't meant to be together and accepted it gracefully. After all, love doesn't have to be possessive, right?And most importantly, or the strongest reason was, the love and affection from Azelia and Reksa towards them were so great and sincere. So they could heal their wounds well and wouldn't have to endure the pain for too long.When a baby is born into the world, t
A beautiful girl with long hair down her back hums softly in front of the mirror to adorn herself, aiming to look more beautiful than usual. She applies various types of makeup to her face, enhancing the natural beauty she was born with. The girl, named Airin, smiles as she observes the subtle Korean-style makeup on her face, further perfecting her beauty."Perfect!" she praises herself inwardly before reaching for the sling bag on the nightstand, draping it over her shoulder, and stepping out. She is about to meet a man known through social media.Airin, commonly called Airin, strides with high spirits to meet Zidan, a man she has known for almost six months through social media. This evening, Zidan has invited her to a fast-food restaurant to get to know each other better and perhaps establish a relationship beyond being social media friends.On this bright afternoon, Airin enters the fast-food restaurant they agreed upon the night before. While scanning the room, she places her pho
The first meeting with Zidan left a deep impression on Airin's heart, and her cheeks always turn rosy when recalling the happy moment of having dinner with Zidan that evening.The happiness, tinged with awkwardness, intensifies as Zidan communicates more actively and gives more attention than usual. Their communication becomes more intense, with Zidan occasionally accompanying Airin in her sleep through video calls, even if it's only during overtime. The rest of the time, they exchange messages.Zidan's attention doesn't stop there. Every weekend, Zidan visits, either just to have a meal together or to shop for Airin's necessities, but it's not for long, only two or three hours. Zidan's attention and sacrifices lead Airin to decide to invite him to meet and give an answer to the question that lingered.Without much thought, Zidan heads straight to Airin's location, even though his work at the office is piling up. He goes to get an answer that aligns with his desires and to prove that
Even though her life feels desolate after Zidan seized her precious crown two months ago, Airin's life has gradually returned to normal. She begins to make peace with the situation, although her heart still aches from Zidan's actions and words that day.Since that incident, Airin has transformed into a quiet and reserved individual. While she used to be cheerful and talkative, she's now closed off. Airin also avoids gathering with her friends, something she used to do after returning from campus. Now, once she gets back from campus, she goes straight to her boarding house without stopping here and there as she did before."Airin!" called out a man standing not far from the campus gate. The man who disappeared for quite some time, the man who destroyed her future. Yes, the same man who still occupies the deepest corner of her heart.Airin knows someone is calling her name. She knows a man is trying to catch up with her because she doesn't turn or stop. She knows, but she has no intenti
Airin blinked, clearing her vision. She wanted to squirm to see what time it was. "Oh, God!! Half past three? Three in the afternoon or..." Airin hesitated, glancing at the hotel room window. Dark. One word fittingly described what lay behind those curtains."No way," Airin mumbled, shocked. She quickly sat up, covering her bare body, searching for Zidan, who had taken advantage of her multiple times. "Zidan, where is he?"Airin slid off the bed, wrapping a blanket around her innocent body. Searching for Zidan in the bathroom to question him. But alas, not even Zidan's scent lingered. The man had left."Damn it!" cursed Airin. She immediately grabbed her phone to call Zidan, asking why he left her alone in the hotel room after what they did from the late afternoon to midnight.Airin still felt the pain in her lower body and her entire skeletal structure aching. Zidan had truly taken the opportunity to satisfy his desires until she lost consciousness. Truly, a despicable man.'Airin,
"How is it? Is your husband there?" a woman at the other end of the call asked. When her call was answered by her cousin's younger sibling, who was assigned to check the whereabouts of her husband."No, Sister. But..." Fachri paused, carefully considering whether to tell or not the information he just received from the hotel receptionist. Information stating that, indeed, his cousin's husband came there last night but checked out at 2 am. More painful, the one who took the room key from the receptionist was a young girl. For his cousin's well-being, Fachri had to weigh carefully whether to tell the truth or keep it a secret until he found evidence and caught him red-handed. To avoid mistakes in conveying information."But what, Fachri? Is he there?" the woman asked again, breaking Fachri's contemplation about his decision. Ah, if only he were allowed to view the hotel CCTV footage, he wouldn't have to think so hard."No, Sister. He's not here. He said he already checked out, but he wa

The threat from Jesi made Joan nervous. So he immediately followed Reina to the backyard to apologize for teasing her earlier."They seem perfect to be matched in the future," quipped Airin, which was agreed and nodded by everyone.A shoulder-length haired girl, with dimples on both her cheeks, smiled as she watched a man running around the swimming pool.The man seemed to be chasing a beautiful girl, with her straight black hair left loose.

"That's good then. After this, Azio will never be lonely again," Airin followed up. Confirming what Fachri said. She was also truly happy they could be reunited with Reina.Not for anything else, Airin had once agreed to Fachri's strange offer to marry, just to be with Reina. The little girl who had lost her parents. But, she always tried to remain cheerful even though the wounds of loss were still etched in her heart."Mama...!" Reina exclaimed. Immediately running and hugging Airin's waist.If only her mother wasn't carrying Azio, she would have jumped into Airin's arms by now."Mommy's girl. Let's go inside, sweetheart! Daddy and Papa have to go to the office, once they're done, we'll go somewhere. Mommy has something for Reina," Airin greeted, while stroking Reina's head.What Airin said was agreed upon by Fachri. So he immediately bid farewell to the office with Ardan. After that, it was only Ardan who returned home and picked them up to go to the mall. To shop for Reina and Azel
As a gift for Fachri who was willing to return to the company, Airin gave him a night that her husband would never forget.When Azio fell asleep in his crib, Airin started teasing Fachri and provided him with such satisfying service. Fortunately, Azio, who was tired from playing all day, had no intention of disturbing his parents, who were enjoying the bliss of the world.Until midnight, the sounds of moaning still echoed in their spacious room. When Fachri was uniting and giving touches that were so intoxicating.So when the sun began to rise and its light peeked through the window curtains, Airin and Fachri were both reluctant to let go of each other's embrace. With their innocent bodies only covered haphazardly by a blanket, the husband and wife were still fast asleep in each other's arms.However, it wouldn't last long because Azio began to squirm and cry. The little baby's diaper was full, and his stomach felt hungry. Making him whimper for his mother to come and check on him."Z
"Are you okay?"Fachri quickly caught Airin, who almost fell to the floor as she emerged from the bathroom. Luckily, Fachri promptly caught her."I'm fine, Dear. I just feel dizzy, and it's normal for pregnant women," Airin replied, hugging Fachri to prevent herself from falling to the floor."Yes, they say so. Pregnant women often feel dizzy and weak in the morning. And..." Fachri blinked, rethinking what Airin had just told him.Pregnant? It couldn't be. It hadn't even been two years since Airin gave birth to Via; it was impossible for Airin to be pregnant. Moreover, his wife used contraceptives on her arm.Airin smiled, opening the nightstand drawer as soon as she sat on the edge of the bed. With a continuous smile on her lips, she handed a folder and two long, flat devices, each with two red lines. Pregnancy test kits."Before going to Bali, I had a check-up with the doctor. I wanted to see if my uterus and the scar from the operation could accept a baby. If yes, I asked the docto
Airin is amazed by the beauty unfolding before her – a waterfall with rocky walls enveloped in unique vegetation. She stands among the rocks at Banyumala Waterfall, a location not widely known yet definitely worth a visit in Bali."This waterfall is amazing, Honey."Airin plunges into the clear water flowing beneath a waterfall cascading from above, one of Bali's renowned waterfalls."The water here is known for its clarity, and the waterfall is incredibly beautiful and stunning. That's why many tourists, both local and international, come to this place. Did you bring your swimsuit? You can swim here if you want." Fachri acts like a tour guide, guiding his client, and he doesn't mind it at all.Perhaps, this is the last place they'll visit during their time in Bali. In two days, they'll return home to their usual life.Airin mentioned to Fachri that she already misses home, especially the kids. Despite being incredibly happy with her husband in Bali, being a mother naturally brings ab
The next day..."Darling, where are we going today?" Airin and Fachri are getting ready for their romantic journey exploring other beautiful parts of Bali.Both Fachri and Airin are dressed warmly. Although the weather is not too extreme, they are being cautious as the temperature has been unpredictable lately."Today, we'll climb Mount Batur. It's a mountain that many tourists seek. I'm sure you'll love it." Fachri provides an explanation."Isn't that a bit extreme? I mean, we've never done any climbing before, and suddenly we're going for a hike." Airin voices her protest."Don't worry, Darling. The hiking trail on Mount Batur is not too difficult. It's very suitable for beginners like us. There will also be many guides on-site. You don't need to worry too much, my love." Fachri reassures his wife."Alright, I'm very interested in climbing with you, dear. Let's go right away. I'm sure the place we're going to visit now is no less fascinating than Uluwatu Temple. Right?" Airin is jus
The best morning according to Fachri is, of course, greeted with the soft touch of his beloved's face on the pillow. He happily presses his wife's cheek with his thumb and forefinger."Good morning, my dear wife."Fachri fills the morning by kissing Airin's cheek several times. Airin, still half-asleep, squirms and slowly opens her eyes. The handsome face she sees for the first time instantly brightens her mood."Good morning, my dear husband. Sorry, I overslept. I really didn't realize the sun had started to rise."Airin blinks her eyes a few times. Fatigue still lingers in her body, though it aligns with the happiness she experiences spending time with Fachri."Here, you're free to wake up anytime. At home, it's different, as you have to prepare for my needs and the kids' needs," teases Fachri while giving another peck on his wife's cheek."I understand, I don't mind. Even though I have to do it every day for you and the kids."Airin gets up from bed, stretching. Then she ties her h
