"Waking up early for a change," mumbled Airin as she felt her bare back being gently touched. Her body tensed as Fachri playfully teased her, a routine that he always did when waking up, and Airin still remained in his embrace."Today, there's a lot of work at the campus and office that will keep me busy from morning until midnight. If I get too tired, I might just stay overnight at the office. That's why I woke up early so I could be with you because we won't meet at all today," Fachri complained. He was tired from the overwhelming workload but hadn't been able to focus on one thing.Considering that Airin still needed supervision during her internship, Fachri couldn't resign from the university anytime soon. Once he did, he wouldn't be able to interfere in Airin's campus affairs. Meanwhile, Airin was still interning at Zidan's workplace, and it didn't feel completely safe to release her entirely. If Zidan misbehaved again, Fachri could only attack him as Airin's husband.According t
Aisya pulled away from the man who was now hugging her. When she regained consciousness after the intense assault, she winced, enduring the pain at the base of her thighs. This was the first time she had engaged in such an intimate relationship, but it wasn't treated well. It felt extraordinarily painful.Aisya never imagined that all of this could happen to her. Her intention was only to trap Fachri, but it went beyond control in the end. All this time, Aisya had seen how gentle and warm Fachri treated Airin, never suspecting that Fachri could be so rough with her.Moreover, Fachri didn't care about the differences between himself and Airin. Airin, who already had a child, was undoubtedly very different from her, who was still unmarried. Yet, Fachri managed to force his way in, even though it was very difficult to penetrate."A-Aisya? W-what is this?" Airin exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand, shocked to see her room in disarray. Clothes scattered on the floor, and pillows fl
Zidan smirked, mocking himself for being unable to distinguish between Airin and another woman. He couldn't resist himself upon learning that Aisya was still a virgin.Rather than stopping, Zidan continued without caring about Aisya's cries of pain. From the differences, he should have realized that the woman he was sleeping with wasn't Airin. It was impossible for Airin to still be a virgin after a long time he had taken her. Airin was also married and had a child. It was truly impossible.Zidan's regret didn't end there. He had rearranged his schedule and handed over his work to his colleague Fachri, all just to prevent Fachri from going home, believing that Airin would never come to the restaurant to meet him.So last night, Zidan entered with the excuse of wanting to meet Fachri. Since he had a family relationship with Fachri, it was very easy for him to enter without many questions.Knowing Fachri was still in the office and finding the front door unlocked, Zidan felt it was a st
Dizzy with never-ending work, Fachri's headaches intensified as he contemplated Aisya's problems, which had now spiraled out of control.Two months had passed since that night, and Aisya had become quiet and despondent. She spoke less, isolating herself in her room.As an older sister, witnessing Aisya's transformation naturally weighed on Airin's mind. Despite lingering hurt, the blood ties between them prevented Airin from being indifferent.Airin was affected by Aisya's changes, feeling the pain when they crossed paths. Aisya's condition worsened day by day.All these developments left Airin looking confused. She had to juggle her practice, Aisya's problems, and fulfill her roles as a mother and wife. Consequently, Airin changed, deviating from her usual self.Certainly, Fachri felt the impact of these changes too. He might not care about Aisya, but he did care about Airin.Airin's pain was palpable; Fachri felt it. Her mind was occupied with thoughts of what to do to resolve the i
"This is impossible, Fachri. That woman must be lying to you because Zidan claimed it was a mistake, and it's impossible for her to be pregnant. This is just a trap to make Zidan and me divorce. After that, Airin and Zidan will get married. Yes, that must be it! You're just too kind, and that's why you're being fooled," Mayang argued, defending Zidan with highly unreasonable excuses."Are you stupid or what? How many times do I have to tell you that your husband came to my house? Entered my room without permission because that night I was working late at the office. Whether it was luck or whatever it was, the malicious intent of your husband to violate my wife was repaid with the ill intentions of my sister-in-law. It's as if they were both brought together as retribution for what they did!" Fachri retorted with a thunderous voice.He could no longer contain his emotions with Mayang, so no more gentle words came out of his mouth. This was the first time Fachri got so angry and lost co
"Dear," Airin uttered softly, referring to Fachri's presence in Aisya's hospital room. Airin, appearing desperate, only added to Fachri's confusion about the steps to take, especially with Mayang being his biggest adversary."Let's discuss this outside!" Fachri invited, embracing and guiding Airin out of Aisya's room. There were too many bad pieces of news to share, and it wouldn't be right to discuss them in Aisya's room. Fachri was afraid Aisya might overhear their conversation, complicating the situation instead of solving it."Mayang is behind Zidan's disappearance, and I'm having difficulty tracking down his whereabouts. Not only that, Mayang has challenged me to a fight," Fachri complained. "I have to take significant risks if I want to fight for Aisya."Leaning against a hospital pole, Fachri tilted his head upward, attempting to neutralize the pain and tightness that had mixed into one. Fachri didn't want Airin to see him cornered like this."You don't need to think about anyt
"Mom, I'm sure something is not right with you, so you willingly came here. In the dead of night, as if there's no tomorrow. You should just say what's wrong and stop beating around the bush. It's already late, and you have a child and a wife waiting for your return."Rosita stared sharply at Fachri, who was now sitting leaning on the sofa. Massaging his temples to relieve the headache that was currently bothering him. He was also thinking about how to start the conversation with his parents.Although his mother had already hinted, Fachri still felt afraid. But he didn't want to hide this if he wanted to win against Mayang. Besides, this should have been told after he and Airin officially got married. However, due to his busy schedule, he only now remembered to do so. Furthermore, Fachri never felt that there was anything odd about his marriage to Airin.However, Mayang jeopardized his marriage to save herself. Truly a woman with no empathy for her fellow women."Via is not my child,
"Even though all this time Mom liked him, especially when he treated Mayang. So gentle and romantic. But, in reality, he's far more despicable than an animal. He could trap Airin just to prove whether he was infertile or not. Knowing his wife is pregnant, he just disappeared."Rosita repeatedly cursed Zidan, who was not worthy to be compared to a human. She was truly disappointed because all this time she admired Zidan, who was very affectionate to Mayang. Without knowing that Airin now had to bear the burden alone. Luckily, her youngest son entered Airin's life and became her savior."Dad thinks what Zidan did is not enough. It's to the point where you dare to be honest about Airin's problems to us."His father spoke up. After being silent for a long time and listening to the story about Zidan."Well, yes. Mom agrees with Dad. There must be something bigger that Zidan is doing now. So busy that he never has time to come to your parents' house, suddenly coming in the middle of the nig
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
"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
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
"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
