Ernawati let out a long sigh, staring at the woman who was sleeping on her side with her shoulders up and down. He knew that she wasn't fully asleep. Melati was holding back sobs in her tears. And as a mother, she couldn't do anything, even to soothe, because she would definitely refuse. As usual. So, Ernawati chose to go to the park and refresh her mind while waiting for Vienna to come home from college. The girl who will replace him is waiting for Melati.******Pabian stepped curiously into the VVIP room, where Melati was lying. He didn't see anyone there.Pabian approached and began to sit beside Melati. Touching his hand made the woman wake up thinking it was Edwin who did it. When she opened her eyes slowly, Melati was immediately surprised."Bian, what are you doing here!" she cried out. She didn't want to see him right now."Calm down, Mel. I promise I won't hurt you.""Go away and leave me, beforRelated chapters
Forced Marriage Chapter 35
Chapter 35Like a lamp suddenly flashing in his head, Jovan remembered something. His eyes twitched as if he had thought of the unexpected.Immediately, Jovan entered the room where Melati was lying alone, while Ernawati was nowhere to be seen. He immediately grabbed the file that was on the table then immediately left the place.Along the way he left for the office, he thought about many things, until he arrived at his office which made Edwin stare at him in surprise."What do you think, Jo, it's unusual to ignore my questions." Edwin's firm voice made Jovan wake up and look at him."Aren't you thinking of hiring someone to look after Melati in the hospital?" Jovan gave advice, he felt it was necessary. He was afraid that something bigger would happen to the woman his best friend married forcibly."Is it necessary?" Edwin asked the man who immediately nodded faintly."I was just thinking of something I thought was necessary." Edwin put the file on the table that Jovan gave him just n

Chapter 36"Oh yes, your sister is cooking in the kitchen. It seems she hasn't been in the mood since yesterday. Why don't you ask her what happened? Then who is she cooking food for?"Edwin was stunned for a moment. Remembering Pabian who was treated. And he suspects that Kirana did it on purpose for that man.Remembering Pabian, Edwin's teeth chattered in annoyance at the man. On the one hand, he is furious because Pabian is still in touch with his sister, while on the other hand, Pabian apparently still wants Melati after what he did to that woman. He should also hate her, because he did not come on the wedding day, he had to bear it.******Edwin rested long enough, until his body felt refreshed. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he intends to go to the hospital to be with Melati."Are you sure you want to give it to that guy?" Edwin asked with his eyes straight ahead, controlling his vehicle through the streets of the capital that looked deserted in the afternoon. Kira
Forced Marriage Chapter 37
Chapter 37"Calm down, Kirana, we will solve this problem well. Calm down first and tell your sister what that man said to you." Kirana's chest rose and fell with red eyes. Edwin kept trying to convince himself, while Melati rubbed her face, which felt red."Pabian will still be yours, I will not take it from you.""Who would allow that anyway? I won't stay silent if he chooses you over me." Kirana looked at Melati where the woman looked at her sadly, while Edwin tried to calm Kirana. It sounds unfair, where it is Melati who is currently shaken by the accusations of the girl in the white shirt in front of her."What's all the fuss?" A man with his trademark cowboy hat stood in front of the door along with a woman with a style that looked quite luxurious. He glanced sharply at Edwin one by one, at Melati and Kirana who were standing in their positions. He didn't know the couple and his goal was to interrupt."Who are you? Why dare to meddl
Forced Marriage Chapter 38
Chapter 38Gunadi was pacing back and forth restlessly, his face already flushed and his jaw clenched. He did not expect what his own son said. This world is very narrow."What are we going to do next?" His wife-Dena touched her husband's shoulder, hoping that the man would take swift action. He didn't want to get entangled with a lingering problem. Moreover, Teguh must have known about Melati's condition and had done something bad to her. So the woman who was five months pregnant was lying in a hospital bed.Gunadi turned to look at him sharply. His hand stretched out perfectly in the face of his wife who he had been married to for five years."Do you realize that apart from that bastard's fault, all of this is your own fault. If only you hadn't fallen for that man's advances, I wouldn't have had to give up my own daughter to be taken advantage of by him. And you see now, one problem you caused created another. It seems like there's no
Forced Marriage Chapter 39
Chapter 39It was getting late in the afternoon, Gunadi and his wife decided to stay at the hotel, when they accidentally met Teguh who had just left one of the inpatient rooms while adjusting the location of the jacket he was wearing. A young woman looked out and followed the man's steps, with a distance of several meters behind him.Gunadi wanted to take another direction, but Teguh immediately looked at him sharply from a distance and immediately approached, making the man stand where he was. Dena, who didn't expect to meet the man again, was a little surprised by the unexpected encounter."We meet again." Teguh smiled, pulled the corner of his lips towards Gunadi and his wife who were silent, reluctant to say hello."Yes, what a coincidence," said Gunadi, reluctant to mince words. The man she wanted to avoid put on an innocent face in front of her."Nothing is accidental in this world, Gun. There is always a way when someone thinks of
Forced Marriage Chapter 40
Chapter 40Out of curiosity, Teguh returns to the hospital to see Melati.This time he must succeed in getting to the woman to threaten her about what happened that night. Don't let Melati reveal her feelings to Edwin, because he will surely be angry with her. Meanwhile, what he said to Gunadi, was nothing more than just to make the man submit and fear threats from him.Teguh hurriedly walked down the hall, but when he wanted to turn into Melati's room, a man stood guard at the door."Who are you? And why are you standing in front of my nephew's wife's room?" Teguh asked out of curiosity. The man in front of him immediately cleared his throat and got ready, as if not allowing anyone to enter without the permission of his boss."I was assigned to guard Mrs. Melati from anyone who wants to go inside. If you want to see her, please make an appointment with Mr. Edwin himself."With formal and firm language, the man answered Tegu
Forced Marriage Chapter 41
Chapter 41Melati had experienced how the man tortured her and treated her badly. Which besides making him tormented, also made him feel like hell on earth. Sick. And Melati's fear has never gone away until now. Even just by hearing the man's voice, let alone meeting him in person."You will not go anywhere without your husband's permission." Ernawati warned."But my presence at home–""Don't think about anything, and let everything flow. As the doctor said, you just have to calmly live your days cheerfully. Home affairs, no one has a problem with that, right?" Ernawati said because she didn't want Melati to leave. She wanted to dive into her heart slowly with the love and warmth of the family."But I don't want to be a burden to you." Melati looked down again, and felt even more guilty."Do you feel we are burdened?" Melati shook her head quickly. Not even once did those burdensome words come out of Ernawati's mouth. It's just t

Chapter 42After that meeting. Edwin greeted several important people before finally leaving. When leaving the door, Gunadi and his wife bowed their heads, giving way for Edwin to pass first."What's your plan after this? Go back to the village or do you have other business?" Edwin stopped right in front of him. Gunadi, who was dead with fleas, was unable to speak. Even his hands were shaking. He had dared to harass Edwin and forced him to marry his daughter who was heavily pregnant. At a time like this, his guts seemed to sink and he didn't dare to act, because he was afraid of the consequences. It's easy for Edwin to destroy his entire business, by stopping cooperation like what Teguh had done to chase Melati some time ago."I think we'll be going straight home." Dena replied, when her behavior seemed awkward with her husband. In fact Edwin's gaze on him made his chest thump.Edwin cleared his throat."Aren't you going to come over to t

Chapter 89With both arms folded, Edwin stood right beside the bed. There was someone lying there, still pale with a bandaged head. And Edwin was still loyally waiting for him to wake up, feeling exasperated, angry, and happy at the same time, remembering that his friend managed to survive the critical period after the removal of the disease in his head.Jovan's eyes blinked as the bright light entered them and disturbed his sleep."Edwin!" Jovan was slightly surprised as a cunning grin slowly approached, closing the distance between their faces."You're not going to get angry now, are you?" As if understanding his friend's feelings, Jovan winced because Edwin did not take his gaze off of him."Since when have you kept secrets from me?" Edwin asked with a serious, piercing stare towards his friend, who only gave a thin smile in response."I didn't want to worry you!" Jovan reasoned. He knew that Edwin was angry with him for hiding the disease that had been afflicting him, and not info
Forced Marriage Chapter 88
Chapter 88The girl's steps felt heavy as she entered a room where someone lay helpless, with an infusion tube attached to his wrist.There was a weight in her chest that, for some reason, she couldn't shake off for a long time, causing her to cry.The door opened slowly as she entered and looked at a man with his eyes closed and a bandage on his head. More tears fell, remembering that Jovan was like an older brother to her.Unable to bear it any longer, Kirana chose to sit beside Jovan's bed. The resting man slowly opened his eyes when he heard sobbing noises that disturbed his ears."Little girl, you're noisy! Your crying is making my head heavier," he said, grimacing. His vision was still blurry from the anesthetic."Heartless man," she sobbed, unable to hide her sadness anymore. Kirana almost angrily hit Jovan's chest if she didn't pity him.Nearly six hours ago, Jovan had just left the operating room. Due to the influence of anesthesia, it wasn't until he was disturbed by Kirana'
Forced Marriage Chapter 87
Chapter 87After hearing Kirana's explanation, Edwin felt uneasy. It was as if there were an unresolved mystery awaiting him in life. Kirana's ambiguous statement made him keep thinking about it. He didn't even notice Melati approaching him with Diandra."Is there something important that happened that's making you so restless?" Melati joined Edwin as they both stared out at the city of Amsterdam in the morning light."I don't know, Kirana said something bad is happening in Indonesia. But I don't know what it is." Edwin explained briefly."And that's why your heart is uneasy?" asked Melati. Edwin quickly nodded in agreement."I'm afraid something else has happened. Especially since Jovan wouldn't answer my calls!" Edwin recounted the situation."In that case, we should go back as soon as possible," Melati suggested, and Edwin looked into her eyes seriously."But what about our plans?" Melati smiled."We can go anywhere after the issue is resolved. Now is not the time for fun. If somet
Forced Marriage Chapter 86
Chapter 86As evening approached, Edwin, along with one of his subordinates, prepared a meal in the kitchen. His wife was putting Diandra to bed in their room.A delicious and appetizing meal was set up to welcome Melati. The dining table had several dishes, some of which were ordered from a famous halal-certified restaurant. A table adorned with dim candles awaited Melati's descent.After a few minutes, Melati arrived wearing a long, slightly thick dress to keep off the cold.People blew trumpets, clapped, and cheered as Melati appeared, looking shocked."Hey, what's going on? What are you guys doing?" Melati asked incredulously at the small surprise prepared for her. Edwin even held a bouquet of lilies to present to his wife."Congratulations, my wife. I hope after this, we'll never be separated again," Edwin wished, embracing his wife and inviting her to sit at the dining table with various dishes."Oh my, did you prepare all this?" Melati looked enthusiastic as Edwin nodded quickl

Chapter 85"Sir, perhaps you are just hallucinating!" said one of his subordinates, standing up, especially after Edwin suddenly ran away from the place without any explanation. "It's impossible! I'm sure I just heard a meaningful scream!" Edwin remained adamant in his thinking.Edwin sprinted out of the room, ignoring the others around him. Scanning to the right and left on the snowy night, he didn't recognize any of the passersby. They stared back at him with puzzled expressions."For some reason, I'm sure Melati is nearby. Oh God, please reunite me with my wife; I don't want us to be apart any longer," he prayed inwardly, his face filled with anxiety.Edwin's subordinates also followed him out of the room after paying for their orders. They scattered to the right and left, with some even crossing the street in search of the woman their boss loved.Suddenly, a voice raised Edwin's hopes."Mr. Edwin! Over here!" The man shouted in panic when he found Melati about to be dragged and fo
Forced Marriage Chapter 84
Chapter 84The stolen black car was driven quite roughly, considering the driver was not very experienced in handling Teguh's luxury vehicle.Melati, clutching Diandra in her embrace, kept praying for their safety. She wasn't sure if the man beside her would succeed in bringing her to Edwin, given his reckless driving.The slightly wet road from the freshly fallen snow made the car occasionally swerve left and right, sometimes weaving and braking imperfectly. Melati had to hold on tight."Can't you drive properly? I'm holding a baby in my arms, and I don't want an accident to happen between us!" Melati snapped at the man, who appeared unconcerned despite repeatedly failing to brake and accelerate correctly."Relax, miss. I may not have driven a car for nearly five years, but my skills are adequate," he said, causing Melati to shake her head in resignation.The shining headlights from behind made both of them look through the rearview mirror to see who was chasing them."Isn't that Teg
Forced Marriage Chapter 83
Chapter 83Someone knocked on the door. Melati glanced in that direction. She didn't know who it was, so she chose to ignore it and continued to embrace Diandra.Knock knock knock!The sound came again. This time, Melati approached the door."Who is it?""It's me. The man who will save your life. Ini aku. Pria yang akan menyelamatkan hidupmu!" The man spoke in English. Fortunately, Melati understood the meaning.But Melati was confused because she didn't recognize the man. Nevertheless, she remained curious."Who sent you? Be clear!" she whispered so Teguh's men couldn't hear her. Luckily, she was held captive on the second floor while they were downstairs playing cards."Edwin!""What? He's here?" Melati asked again."Yes, and he's waiting for you," he said in English.Hearing the name mentioned, Melati felt stunned and slightly disbelieving. However, she felt hopeful. Her smile appeared involuntarily as she missed him dearly.The man fiddled with the doorknob. In just a moment, the

Chapter 82Every day, Edwin and his subordinates spread out to search for Melati. They showed clear pictures of her to various people, most of whom only shook their heads and acted indifferent."Wij weten het niet. Maar in dit land nemen ontvoering toe, (We don't know, but kidnappings are on the rise in this country,) a man said as Edwin showed him a photo on the phone.Still, he didn't lose hope. Melati and his son must be fine, considering Teguh was the one who kidnapped them, not a stranger or local resident. One thing Edwin knew and believed for sure: Teguh wouldn't harm Melati or Diandra since he was obsessed with both of them. It would be illogical for him to go through the trouble of taking them abroad to elude Edwin if he wanted to eliminate them, he thought to himself."Shall we move on to another place, Boss?" Edwin's subordinate spoke up from behind. Edwin nodded his head, unaware that someone had been watching them all this time.The man dropped his cigarette and began to

Chapter 81After a dozen-hour-long flight, the four of them finally arrived in their destination country: the Netherlands. A pre-ordered car took them to a place where they could rest their weary bodies before dispersing to gather information.Edwin instructed two men to search for information at the airport's arrival center and its surroundings. Meanwhile, another went to the local police station to report the kidnapping. Edwin himself headed to the Indonesian Embassy to ask for help. Fortunately, they were quick to assist and promised to help in any way they could.In the evening, Edwin and his partners returned to their temporary residence. This was just the beginning, and they hadn't made any progress yet. However, they didn't lose hope. There was always tomorrow, and Edwin firmly believed that his wife would be found. ***Meanwhile, in another place.Jovan returned to the hospital where Gunadi was being treated. A short while ago, Dena had contacted him to come there, where Guna
