Last Updated:
2025-04-29 09:08:55Melinda felt a change in her relationship with Afgan. Although their home was again full of laughter and jokes, there was an ice that had slipped between them. Every day, Melinda felt like she was facing a cold wall that she couldn't break through. The once beautiful landscape became increasingly bleak.
Melinda tried to find answers within herself. She brooded in the middle of the night, sitting on her bed with her mind in turmoil. The silence of the house was only interrupted by the wind tapping on the windows. "Why has everything changed?" she muttered to herself.
"Why is there no love from Afgan at all even though I got rid of that pesky woman?"
Melinda always slept alone without Afgan. The cold nights were shared only with her little daughter who often woke up at night to ask for milk.
A message arrived on Melinda's cell phone in the middle of the night, as she was giving milk to the little one.

Melinda approached him, gritting her teeth. "Time? It's been a year!""Shintya needs her father, now! You're going to ruin her first birthday with her father's absence?"Afgan growled, "You don't understand!""You don't understand, Afgan! You make Shintya and me feel insignificant!"

In the dim light of the hotel's quiet corridor at night, Adelia Putri Asmarini, twenty years old girl, clutched a room key with a neatly laundered and polished suit jacket.The suit belonged to a VIP guest in room 1808 of the Mutiara International Hotel - where she had worked as a Hotelier for the past two years.“I have to cover Melinda's night shift again. How annoying it is to have to deliver suits at night,” said Adelia with an annoyed step.“Hopefully I won't run into any drunk men,” Adelia muttered as she walked into the quiet hallway of the hotel room with a bad feeling, but she had to be professional in her duties.Adelia took the night shift in place of Melinda, although she felt tired and had been working continuously since morning, Adelia didn't dare complain. She needed the extra bonus in her salary.Her father had a huge gambling debt, so she had to work as hard as she could to pay it off. If she didn't get the night shift, then she would have to find another side job at

Adelia arrived at the hotel staff's break room. With her breath roaring, Adelia tried to control herself and her still trembling body.“I have to buy contraceptive pills,” muttered Adelia as she changed into the change of clothes she had brought with her.After cleaning herself up, Adelia immediately ran out without filling in the finger attendance on the attendance machine next to the door.In a hurry, Adelia made a small run to the clinic not far from the hotel.“I can't get pregnant! I'm going to marry my future husband who has been set up by my father or I have to return the dowry,” Adelia muttered as she moved hurriedly.Arriving at the clinic, Adelia gritted her molars in disappointment because she still had to queue.“I'm going to be late for the wedding,” Adelia grumbled as she stood in line counting the number of people waiting in line.The clock hanging on the wall of the clinic was already seven o'clock....Afgan Al Futtaim, the sole heir of the Futtaim group-the largest r

“Afgan,” he whispered, Achmed's eyes flashing, ”You cannot cancel this wedding. Your parents have made their decision, and you must abide by it.”Afgan looked at his father with angry eyes. “But father, I cannot marry such a woman. I... I feel humiliated.”Achmed pressed his son's arm tighter, “listen to me!”Achmed gave him a sharp look, “If you call off this marriage, I will cross out your name from the family legacy. You will not inherit anything from us. You will lose everything.”Gluck!Afgan swallowed his saliva violently.After saying this, Achmed again called out to the guests. “The party continues, please enjoy the meal and please give your blessings to the bride and groom!” Achmed exclaimed and then sat back down beside the aisle chair as if nothing major had happened.Afgan sat with a vague feeling in his heart that was rumbling.His father's words had created a tense silence between them. Afgan felt himself being dragged into a trap, caught between an unwanted marriage and

The next day, the sun has risen with warm rays shining through the hotel room window. A tension was still in the air after last night's heated argument.Adelia opened her eyes with a heavy feeling in her chest. Her mind was filled with uncertainty, anxious about her future with Afgan. However, although her heart was filled with worry, she refused to sink into despair. With strong determination, she forced herself out of bed, even though her legs felt so heavy.Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adelia drew courage from within herself. She spoke to herself, “I have to be strong. I must move forward, even if those steps feel difficult. I must not let sadness stop my life. I must work, build my own future.”After taking a deep breath, she got up and stepped towards the bathroom. Warm water splashed over her body, trying to ease the burden of her thoughts. Under the shower, she let the water run over her head, trying to wash away all her worries and uncertainties.After the shower, Adelia dr

Melinda glanced at the handsome Afgan who was at the wheel, driving the blue sports car steadily. This was Melinda's first time driving an expensive sports car.“I apologize for that night,” Afgan said, breaking the silence between them.Melinda furrowed her brow, not understanding.Afgan stopped the car at the curb and turned his body to face Melinda.“You delivered my suit and I... I'm sorry for what I did last night,” Afgan said and then took Melinda's hand and held it with sincere feelings.Melinda began to understand about the situation last night. Her smart head already understood what Adelia and this man were facing, but because Afgan was so stunning and wealthy. Melinda didn't want to waste the opportunity.“I can't just forgive what you did that night. You know my self-esteem is ruined!” Melinda tried to put on a sad face.Afgan was still frozen staring at her. Then, when she had had enough, Melinda wiped away her tears as she looked at Afgan.“You must take responsibility, s

Afgan felt the weight of guilt choke him as soon as he smelled Adelia's scent, reflecting on his foolish actions the day before. His eyes were filled with regret, and his heart was haunted by the image of the woman he had taken his virginity from the day before his wedding. The man felt he had also been incompetent in this marriage.Afgan stepped back, releasing his grip on Adelia's hand and collapsing into a sitting position with his breathing ragged and ragged.“Adelia,” Afgan called in a broken voice, trying to contain the anger that was about to boil over.Adelia turned her head, her eyes glazed over, radiating deep disappointment. “What do you want, Afgan?” she asked in a voice filled with emotion.Afgan swallowed, trying to find the right words. “I... I don't know where to start,” he said quietly.“If you want a divorce, then.

However, she could not help the feeling of disappointment that arose within her. “Okay, I understand,” she said in a bitter tone and chose to remain silent.Adelia cast her gaze at Afgan's back as he put on his shirt.Adelia stared at the burns on Afgan's back in confusion. However, as she stared longer, images of the strange marks on the back of a man who had once hurt her flashed through her mind. A sense of dread and unease instantly swept over her.Afgan, who saw Adelia's gaze in the reflection of the mirror in front of him, was disturbed. He snapped at her in a sharp tone, “What are you looking at? This is my body and I don't want any questions. Don't act like you have rights over my body.”“You're just a wife on paper, get it!”Adelia was stunn

That morning, the sun shone down on their house. Afgan sat on the terrace, gazing at the garden that was slowly recovering from its sadness. Today he wasn't working because it was the first day of 2024.All employees were closed and Afgan had no reason to work. The gaze of the man looked pseudo and passionless.Even though the house was quiet with most of the servants on leave, there was still the occasional sound of little Shintya crying.However, the man did not respond to the cries at all.Melinda came out of the house, realizing that their conversation last night still left a wound in Afgan's heart.“I'm sorry, Afgan,” Melinda said regretfully. Her hands made a tray of tea and glasses. Melinda stepped closer to Afgan and tried to soften the heart of the man who became her husband.“I know it's complicated, and I want to make you ha

“What do you mean?”Afgan begins to tell Achmed about Bayu and Melinda having an affair.

Do as you wish, Dad!” Afgan refocused on his work and didn't respond to his father's words anymore.The DNA test was conducted, but Melinda cunningly managed to trick the test employee by taking a sample of Afgan's own hair left in her comb.A few days passed, and the DNA test results finally came out. Achmed held the results tremblingly, seeking reassurance over the doubts that crept into his mind. Afgan, who had kept his distance from the situation from the start, finally agreed to speak.“Dad, what's the result?” Afgan asked, his face determined.Achmed stared at the DNA test results, then nodded with disappointment. “This... this is impossible.

“You want to visit his grave? Yes! Go to the Sanjaya Cemetery in South Jakarta. Look for Adelia's name in block 7!” exclaimed angrily through the speaker on the cell phone. The man did not allow the security guard to open the door at all.Hearing the answer from Edward, Afgan's heart was like being struck by lightning and then slashed by several sharp daggers.“Go back to your country. I really hate you for letting Adelia's body go up in flames like that!”Edward switched off the call from the security cell phone. With languid steps, Afgan stepped back into his car.The fact that Adelia was dead made his life feel shattered. With his left hand, he called his father to check the whereabouts of Adelia's grave.The driver drove the car back to the airport. Afgan did not wait any longer, but went straight to the private plane that his father had prepared.“Go home, Afgan,” Achmed said wearily.“Adelia's grave is indeed there and the death

“What's going on, is she awake?” asked Afgan with his breath caught in his throat as he ran from the hospital parking lot to his mother-in-law's room.“No, she's not conscious yet, but we heard her delirious.”“Edward and Adelia?”Kanya nodded her head confidently, as did Achmed.“It seems that Adelia's loss has something to do with Edward.”Afgan snorted harshly then said, “that man has been gone since before the fire. He's already engaged to Emily and they've returned to Dubai.”“How could he be involved?” Afgan asked himself.“It's good you're investigating, Afgan. All the possibilities are there, after all you've been looking all this time.”“By the way, what about Melinda, have you forgiven your wife?” Achmed asked his son.Afgan looked at his father meaningfully. He couldn't bear to tell him the secret abou

“I'm sorry for everything I did that was unfair to her, Father.”Afgan's voice was hoarse and his chest felt tight.Achmed looked at his son with compassion. “We cannot control fate, Afgan. Life sometimes gives us difficult trials, but we must fight through them together. We will find a way out, and we will be stronger than ever.”Afgan nodded, the man wiping away tears with the back of his hand as he absorbed his father's words. Although there were still many questions and uncertainties ahead, he felt that his family would find a way to get through all the obstacles and rebuild their lives.The two sat together in the hospital waiting room, embracing each other in an emo-laden silence.

“No! Bik Minah!”Brak!Afgan felt like his spine was broken. The pain of the wooden beam hitting his small body.He could feel the searing heat and hear the sound of small explosions. The scene grew darker, until Afgan felt as if he was drowning in a sea of fire.He vaguely saw in the flames Adelia waving with a warm smile. Next to her was Bik Minah and on the other side was Adelia's father.“No! Don't leave me!” Afgan shouted frantically.Afgan woke up with a gasp, his body covered in cold sweat. The morning sun shone brightly through the window of his spacious bedroom. He sat bolt upright in bed, still struck by the nightmare he had just experienced.His heart was racing, and his face was pale. His nightshirt was also stained with sweat. Afgan tried to push the shadows of the dream from his mind, but the memories of the extravagant events in his house continued to haunt him. The licking flames, the panic, and
