Now they had finished shopping. Mona quickly texted her husband. Asking where Arka was, she rushed to where he was when he told her where he was. "Daddy!" Gaia called out, the girl ran as she carried her groceries, she approached her father and kissed Ghibran on the cheek. "Duh, sorry. You took so long to shop," Gaia said, engaging her little brother in conversation which was greeted by Ghibran's smile, making the woman anxious again and kissing the toddler again. "Alright, let's order some food, you must be hungry," Arka said as he glanced at Gaia and his wife. Mona quickly approached and took Ghibran from her husband's arms. She asked Arka to order some food for her, while Gaia chose her own. Dara still stood looking at her friend's small family with envy in her heart. "Why are you there, come and sit down! You choose what food you want. Later my husband will order it, I don't accept rejections," Mona said which was immediately reciprocated by Dara's nod, the woman quickly
Finally Kean took the initiative himself, grabbing his phone and asking Google. The smile was clearly engraved when he knew the meaning of the two lines. He immediately put down the phone and hugged his wife, not forgetting to land a peck on the cheek."Sweetheart, you're pregnant," Kean said in a happy tone, to which Aurel nodded back. "Yes, Honey! Soon we will be parents," said Aurel happily, Kean then released the hug. "Then I'll ask permission from the boss, so I can take you to the hospital," said Kean, which made Aurel smile even more. "Then I'll take my leave, you'll have to work hard to get it done," said Aurel, who was immediately given a thumbs up by Kean. "Assalamualaikum," Aurel said and then answered Kean, the woman immediately stepped away. "Sorry, Sister, I lied earlier. So you don't keep fighting," said one of the women who approached Aurel, making her turn her head. Aurel smiled and nodded. "I understand, thank you. Now I want to say goodbye, I want to meet the
"You're too positive about Dara," Arka grumbled, putting down her cell phone and sitting quietly watching the television. Mona continued to chat with her brother. While Gaia occasionally chimed in, she was more focused on the appetizing dishes. Glancing at the clock, Mona hurried to say goodbye to Dinda because she had been out too long. "Sister, it's been too long. I'll take my leave, my husband will keep blabbering if I don't go home now," Mona said to Dinda's understanding nod. "Well, then be careful." Mona nodded in response, they said goodbye and Mona and her son left immediately. "Mom, Dad must be angry. I've been talking to Auntie for so long," Gaia chirped, to which Mona nodded in reply, as she was texting her husband. "How about it, Gaia. I haven't seen your aunt in a long time, so when I do, it's only natural," Mona replies in her defense. [Honey, I'm on my way home,] - Mona "Why did it take so long to reply, I didn't even read it at all," Mona grumbled to herself, w
"My husband!" called Mona as she opened the door to see Arka sleeping on the bed. "He's sleeping, let's put Ghibran to sleep first," Mona muttered softly, closing the door and putting Ghibran in the baby box. She smiled happily when she saw her baby's adorable face. She fondly stroked her son's chubby cheeks. Then, she rushed to the bathroom to clean her body first. The sound of splashing water could be heard, indicating that Mona was cleaning herself. Arka woke up and looked at the bathroom door. He smiled when he heard his wife humming. "It's a habit to always sing in the shower," Arka muttered under her breath, then reached for her phone and grinned as she read a series of messages from Mona. Arka quickly pretended to be still asleep when she saw the bathroom door open. Mona casually took her clothes and put them on in the room. She casually did that because she thought her husband was still sleeping. While Arka opened his eyes slowly to peek at Mona's activities, the man's
All the items were scattered on the floor, many of them broken. Mona was surprised to hear the sound of falling objects, she immediately ran even though her bag was still attached to her back. Seeing his brother-in-law sitting on the bed while holding a paper made Mona curious, she approached and asked quietly."Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" asked Mona looking at Arka who immediately looked up when she heard her voice."Go away!" snapped Arka, getting up and glaring at Mona.Mona looked down as she was surprised to get yelled at by Arka. With weak steps, she left and rushed to her room to change her clothes. After that, she went around looking for her sister. "Sister Dinda, where are you?" Mona kept shouting trying to find her sister who invited her to live with her two months ago when their parents were gone.Until a voice made her stop looking, it sounded very cold. The man who pampered her and even sent her to school here turned into a creepy man. You could see the hatred in his
The clock struck five in the morning, and Mona woke up and sat up in bed. Eyes swollen, she picked up the small mirror on the nightstand and looked at her reflection. Her chest felt tight again, and yesterday's events immediately came to mind."It wasn't a dream," Mona mentally exclaimed softly."I used to admire you, Sister," Mona muttered under her breath."But not now, you bastard subjugated me to replace you," Mona continued holding the mirror tightly."What should I do...," Mona's words were cut short by Arka's shouting at her door."Mona hurry up and make me breakfast!" Arka shouted and the man walked away to the dining table, sitting on a chair playing with his cell phone.Mona quickly got up to put the mirror away and smoothed her hair just enough to tie it together. Stepped into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. After finishing, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook."Next time wake up early and prepare breakfast!" Arka ordered without looking at Mona w
Morning rolled around quickly, the clock had already struck half past four in the afternoon. Mona was at home doing household chores, lifting the clothesline, and then hurrying to cook a meal. Sweat flooded her forehead, exhaustion attacking her body because after coming home from school she immediately did her chores."Ahhhhh, finally done too. I have to take a shower, my body is so sticky," Mona monologued and then entered the room and performed the ritual of cleaning herself.After taking a shower Mona went to the living room, waiting for Arka while lying on the sofa. Slowly she drifted off, exhausted, into dreamland until the clock finally struck seven. The doorbell rang but she was still asleep, irritably Arka took the spare key from the car and opened the door. "Where's that damn girl!" Arka cursed, stepping wide and then her eyes caught Mona fast asleep on the sofa."Damn it! This girl is sleeping so well," Arka growled and kicked Mona's leg, startling the girl into sitting up
Today was a holiday, Mona was a little dizzy and hot. She only washed her face and brushed her teeth, looking into the fridge to find no ingredients for cooking. Stepping hesitantly towards Arka's room, just about to knock the door was already open."What are you doing," Arka asked coldly."T-that's it, the ingredients are gone," Mona joked nervously and sneezed."Are you sick?" asked Arka still coldly.Mona shook her head quickly. "No brother-in-law, Mona is not sick," Mona said in a shaky voice."You don't have any ingredients for breakfast?" Arka asked Mona again, shaking her head."Alright, let's go shopping," Arka continued, going back into the room to get the car keys.Arka drove the car at an average speed, her stomach already churning to fill up. Finally, she stopped by a chicken porridge vendor to eat. Mona's eyebrows furrowed when Arka didn't go to the convenience store but she was afraid to ask."Get off! Let's eat porridge first," Arka exclaimed and stepped away from Mona,
"My husband!" called Mona as she opened the door to see Arka sleeping on the bed.

Arka immediately stopped the car, then turned to look ahead. She immediately got out of the four-wheeled vehicle, then approached a girl who was sitting on the road in front of their car. She was holding her chest as she moved her mouth but no sound could be heard. "Sorry, you're okay, right?" Arka asked softly, causing the girl to look up and nod. "Where are you going? No one's hurt, right," Arka asked, to which the girl shook her head again. "Dara!" shrieked Mona as she approached her husband who was looking at the woman who had almost been hit. The woman called Mona immediately turned her head. She smiled at the woman she hadn't seen in years. Mona rushed over and gave Ghibran to Arka. "How are you, you're Dara, right," Mona chatted, to which Dara, a girl only four years her junior, nodded in return. "Where are you going?" Mona asked, causing Dara to duck her head. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Mona asked again, shaking Dara's body. "You can talk on the side of the ro
Aurel woke up from her sleep, the woman blinked and looked at the man who was now her husband. She quickly glanced at Jan and slowly got up. The pain was still there, she hurried to grab her scattered clothes and put them on. Just about to step into the bathroom, a man's hoarse voice made her stop her steps. "Where are you going, why didn't you wake me up," Kean said, getting up from his seat and grabbing his boxers and putting them on. "I'm going to take a shower, darling, and make my ablutions. It's time for the dawn prayer," Aurel replied without turning around to look at her husband. "Then let's take a shower together," chirped Kean and then approached and carried his wife, making Aurel squeal. "Honey! What the heck, just shock me," Aurel protested as she looked away in embarrassment from feeling her husband's broad chest. "Just holding you, I saw you walk like that. It really hurts, doesn't it?" exclaimed Kean as he asked, to which Aurel nodded slowly. "Even though it's
"Alright, now you eat and then we'll go home," Aurel continued, causing Kean to look up and raise an eyebrow. "Home? I still have a lot of work to do, Rel. Better after I finish the food, you just go home yourself," said Kean in reply to Aurel's shaking. "You have to go home, this is an order from Gaia's father," Aurel said, causing Kean to exhale and nod in compliance. "This must be what Gaia said, right?" asked Kean, who was answered by Aurel's nod, who was now preparing food on the table. "Let's eat, remember to finish it all," Aurel ordered, making Kean look at his future wife's face. "Really, Rel, this is a lot," Kean protested, making Aurel chuckle and pinch her future husband's cheek. "I'm kidding, you're really serious," Aurel said with amusement, scooping up the rice and side dishes and thrusting them into Kean's mouth. "Why are you silent, let's open your mouth. Let's feed each other, until this food runs out," said Aurel then smiled a little when Kean opened his
As morning approached, the atmosphere at Kean's parents' home was bustling. Soon they would bury the body of Kean's father. The man was silent without saying much, he didn't make a sound at all and even filled the stomach that hadn't been filled since he came here. Arka was already there, accompanying his friend. "Hey, be strong, Kean. Let's take your father to his new home," Arka said, making Kean turn to look at his friend. "You have to be strong, if you're fragile. Who will strengthen your mother's heart," Arka continued, making Kean pause and nod. *** Time spun quickly, Kean became more quiet. The man didn't daydream much sometimes. It had now been a week since delivering his father to his new home. "Hey! Work properly, don't daydream too much," Arka scolded when he caught his friend in the toilet, the man glanced at Arka. "Sorry, I'll try to be professional here," Kean said, making Arka raise his eyebrows. "Seriously, I'm trying to be professional in the toilet. You w
"Uh, uh, how come you know each other like this," said Kean in surprise while Mona chuckled at the shocked look on the man's face. "We do!" Gaia exclaimed, making Kean grumble because that wasn't the answer he was asking for. "Are you psychic, you know my candidate's name," said Kean once again, making Gaia turn to look at him. "What candidate, Uncle?" asked Gaia as she leaned forward to stare at Kean. "Uh, anu ...." Kean scratched his head that wasn't itchy, the man saw his lover looking at him while raising an eyebrow. "What the hell, uncle ... come on, don't half-ass it," Gaia scolded and was greeted by the man's grimace. "Come on, you know, answer me, don't just tease Gaia," Arka sneered and Kean snorted. "Anu, Gaia. This is my future wife, Uncle. I'm getting married soon," Kean said quietly. "Ohh, so you're getting married, then," Gaia said, nodding her head. "I'm sorry, uncle, Gaia. If I wait for you to grow up, I'll be an old man." Kean said softly, he w
