Out 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 TeguRelated chapters

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 43Rigid And False AtmosphereMelati's heart jolted violently when she saw the figure, who seemed relaxed standing not far from the dining room. Teguh even immediately walked closer to the table and pulled out a chair and told his wife to sit down.The tense faces were immediately visible, especially from Dena and Gunadi who froze in place. While Candra, who was holding a spoon, immediately dropped it on the plate, causing a loud sound. However, neither Anita, Ernawati nor Edwin understood what was happening, so that the faces looked very real and were surprised to see Teguh and his wife coming.Gunadi and Dena did not expect Candra's reaction to his continued dislike of the man, whom they assumed was his son.Melati's face turned pale in an instant and her body seemed to tremble. Looking at the scary Teguh as if he was seeing a ghost. The fact is that after that terrible night, she can't easily be the man who often

Chapter 44"Come on, Dad. Don't exaggerate a small matter like that. There's no way I would want to kill my own father. If I wanted to, I would have done it long ago. But I still hold it in because I still have a vestige of patience and think of you as my father even though I think you are useless." Teguh chuckled, but instead got Candra's sharp glare."You son of a bit*h. Leave me now, because I can't bear to see you in my room!""Fine, I'll go! But remember, if you play games with me or try to side with your granddaughter in everything, especially in the company, then what you said just now will come true. As soon as possible. And you certainly know what I did to your favorite son-in-law including your beloved grandson henceforth perhaps. I will eliminate them all in the same way." Teguh spoke coldly, with perfectly round eyes. The hatred in his eyes was so obvious that Candra Wijaya had no idea that it was his own son.Candra was shocked. How h
Forced Marriage Chapter 45
Chapter 45Edwin returned to his room where it turned out that the lights had been turned off. He saw Melati sleeping in a restless state, even as if she was having a bad dream. Then sat on the couch watching him.Edwin contemplated his marriage to Melati, which turned out to be far from his expectations. He had never thought of marriage before, until fate brought him together with her by accident. And now, it's like he's trapped in a marriage and a dilemma, where he can't bear to let go of Melati, who at first he hated so much. Plus he still hasn't decided whether to continue the marriage or not. Even though behind it all, she regrets the fate that has befallen Melati herself.'Lord, is he really my soulmate? But why is it so hard for me to accept or let go of it from my life."Edwin rubbed his face and then remembered when he overheard the conversation at that time, between Gunadi and Dena. It turns out that the injured party is Melati herself,

Chapter 46"How is Grandpa Candra now?" Melati approached Edwin, who had just entered his room that morning. The man's face looked crumpled with slightly thickened eye bags.Meanwhile, Melati herself couldn't close her eyes last night after having a bad dream."His condition has improved quite a bit and he is currently undergoing treatment. It's just that something else has happened to him," said Edwin, making Melati curious.Melati stared at Edwin in disbelief, trying to figure out what the man meant."Kirana had an accident. Someone ran into her last night when she was just getting out of the parking lot and was about to go home." Edwin's voice was weary. He didn't expect this to happen to his sister. The incident even happened in the hospital yard which incidentally was still busy with many visitors, along with the CCTV in that place. A very brave move, considering it's a public place."What! How could that be?!"The woman

Chapter 47"Oh shit!" Seeing Melati's helpless state, Teguh immediately approached and tried to hold her.But Melati, who was scared, immediately pushed the hand away from her. Melati doesn't want those dirty hands to stain her, after leaving a black mark in her life which is full of humiliation."Go, and leave me alone. Otherwise, then don't blame me if my son and I both die in this place!" threatened Melati unexpectedly. Teguh, who was worried that something might happen to his future baby, immediately raised his hand and walked away."No, don't do something like that, Melati. I will not forgive you if you and my child die." Teguh immediately left, then called the maid at the place to immediately take care of Melati."What happened to you?" An assistant immediately approached and helped her inside and sat her on the sofa, and went into the kitchen to bring a warm drink. After calming down, Melati returned to her room and shed her tears

Chapter 48"Where are you going, Ed?" Jovan stood up and touched his best friend's shoulder. He was really curious when he saw Edwin who was leaving, with various questions filling his mind."I really want to meet Cindy and ask her many things," said Edwin, grabbing his cell phone.He knew that since the last time he met Cindy in the hotel lobby, he had never seen her return to his office to work.Edwin stepped quickly while previously glancing at the currently vacant secretary chair. And he could only sigh, if what he thought turned out to be true.There is a certain relationship between Cindy and her uncle–Teguh, and there is a reason why this woman doesn't come to work for days, because of her injuries which Edwin himself doesn't know exactly why.If only Jovan had told Teguh to visit Cindy at the hospital, when he was at the same hospital accompanying Melati. Of course he wouldn't be in a quandary now, and would have directly asked Cindy then and there. Unfortunately the informati

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

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

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
