Chapter 5

Melati stared at Ernawati with a sour face as the woman looked at her with a face difficult to interpret.

As a person who lives in the same village with her, of course Ernawati knows a little bit who Melati and her family are even though their house is not too close.

It's just that when Ernawati wanted to say something to Edwin, the man immediately switched the conversation.

"There's nothing important about that woman. Do not discuss it again," he said as he opened the car door, and told the driver who had been driving, moved to the back to sit together with Melati. While he sat in front of the steering wheel, parallel to the mother sitting in front.

Even along the way, Melati didn't say a word and just stared out the window.

While beside him, the driver was like a misbehavior, because several times got a shot from Melati.

As if the woman did not want to sit side by side with a man from the bottom.

Until finally they arrived at a luxurious courtyard house a few moments ago the gate opens automatically, and displays a very magnificent building in front of him.

A two-story European-style building with a dominant white color is ready to welcome their arrival.

Melati got out of her car when the driver opened the door for her, and she was a little surprised to see a house that was even twice the size of the house she lived in in the village. Although his house was still classified as one of the most magnificent houses, when compared to this house, it was as if his father's wealth meant nothing.

"Come on, enter Melati, you must be tired because of the long journey," said Ernawati who immediately received a reprimand from her own son. Melati who was still standing only caught a glimpse, and was reluctant to answer the woman's words.

"Why bother paying attention to him, you should pay attention to your own health. You must be very tired, considering you haven't driven far in a long time."

Ernawati smiled, rubbing her son's arm.

"Yes, but Melati is–"

"Never mind, let's go inside," Edwin cut as he held his mother's hand, letting Melati stand with a wry face.

Even the man who called her husband, did not want to invite her into even a small talk.

"Please go inside, Miss," said the driver who was ready to lower his suitcase, but Melati looked at him intently.

"Shut up!" I can't wait to make that guy cry for a while.

Melati walked quickly to catch up with Edwin and his mother. He didn't want to be left behind and given the big house, he would definitely stray.

Up at the main door, he saw the scene where Edwin was greeting the old man sitting in a wheelchair along with a girl standing behind him, then greeted him kindly. I don't know why the sight made Melati dislike and increasingly showed irritation on her face.

"So, that woman whose name is Melati ?" The man in the blue shirt with bleached hair stared at Melati and frowned, when he saw Melati's enlarged scar. Although he had heard how his grandson Erwin was forced to marry the woman, but did not know if the woman turned out to be middle-bodied two.

Melati, who was aware of herself in the spotlight, immediately threw out her upset breath and approached.

"What if I'm Melati ? Are you going to kick me out right now?" Melati was smothering, making the people there immediately shocked because of her disrespectful act.

Melati first met the owner of the House, Candra Wijaya, but her attitude did not reflect the manners and manners, and it made Edwin furious.

"Keep your manners, Melati, or else what you just said will soon come true. Know that once you are away from your family then you can't go around like that. At least act like a good, respectable woman with good manners!" Edwin's stern coldness made Melati's face flushed red and her eyes glanced at Edwin.

Ernawati herself, immediately held her son's hand to be more patient.

"Take him to his room," said Candra immediately interrupted, which is returned nod by his assistant.

Actually the man was not a problem Edwin married to anyone, as long as the woman is good. After all, his grandson had deserved to get a wife and offspring, even several times he forced his grandson to immediately look for a woman to accompany his life. But who would have thought that apart from the forced marriage, the woman who was present at her house did not have a better attitude.

"One family is not all right. Will you show me where my room is?" Melati said again while shaking her waist. She scanned the place without regard to Ernawati and her husband who only shook his head.

Then the girl who was talking to Edwin a moment ago, smiled and drew closer to him.

"Which room should I take him to, Mr. Edwin?" he asked with a look of bewilderment.

If he immediately took Edwin to his room, of course he was afraid that the man would be angry, considering that Edwin was a lover of cleanliness and his room could not be carelessly entered by others.

"Whatever, wherever he wants," Edwin replied, picking up the call on his cell phone, which vibrated a moment ago.

Featuring his assistant-Jovan, right there.

"I'll show you madam's room," she said in gentle and polite language. Meanwhile, Edwin immediately said goodbye to his mother to leave because of work matters.

Melati walked into a room when the assistant in the House opened a room door that was quite magnificent. He scanned every corner of the stunning-looking room with elegant shades of blue-white, he guessed that it was Edwin's room.

"This is my room?" the housekeeper nodded.

"That's right, Madam."

"Good, make sure the room is clean and tidy," Melati said again, sitting herself on the sofa. "Oh yeah, don't call me like 'Madam', just call me Melati . I feel old when you call me that." The girl with neatly tied hair smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, yes , of course ... Melati ." He stepped back and immediately turned around and closed the door again. Allow Melati to rest immediately.

"I have a lot of business today, so I'll go first, mom. Do not forget about rest. I'll probably be home in the evening, " said Edwin, kissing his mother's hand, also saying goodbye to his grandfather.

"All Right, Son. Be careful." Edwin nodded again before finally leaving.

"Your son is always busy. That's why I need you in this house, " Candra said, staring at her grandson's departure. While Ernawati just smiled.

"But I'm happier in the village. The atmosphere is quiet and more pleasant."

"This is also your home, and this old father needs you."

"All right, old man," he joked. Erna rubbed his father's shoulder, then helped bring him into the room.

While Melati stood at the end of the stairs, watching the interaction of the two that she never got in her house. Even Melati can see a clear difference in the eyes of her mother, which is inversely proportional to her attitude as if she is disgusted.

    Chapter 6Melati had just stepped into the kitchen and stopped at the door leading to it, when she heard a faint chatter that slightly disturbed her ears."I did not expect that Mr. Edwin would get married so soon, with a woman who turned out to be pregnant," he said full of disappointment. He chopped carrots while spitting out his annoyance."Maybe that's the fate she has to face," Ernawati replied, facing the burning stove. She was cooking something for dinner."But still I don't want to see Mr. Edwin have to be with that woman. Because in addition to not having good manners, the woman was very inappropriate side by side with Mr. Edwin," the process that made Ernawati immediately looked full and smiled briefly."Never mind, forget it, and let it be Edwin's business. Your job here is to take care of papa, to keep him healthy, including also to pay attention to the servants in this house so that they can work well.""If it was for that one thing I would have done very well."The girl

The single man immediately walked there and greeted Ernawati and Candra, then to Vienna which was serving food. Edwin walked to his room to change his clothes. His brow furrowed as he passed the waitress who appeared to be carrying a tray, still full of food."What is this?" he asked, not understanding. As far as I know, people were gathering in the dining room, but the woman instead brought a tray from upstairs."Eumh, Sir, Mrs. Melati didn't want to eat the food, so I changed the food to a new one, but she didn't seem to want to open the door," replied the polite waiter."Is that so?" The servant nodded, then immediately passed away.He was about to open the door when the new, still warm food, was on the table by the door of his room.''Does she live in my room?" he murmured softly, pulling the doorknob and opening it a little roughly.

How could he not be surprised when he saw a sexy looking woman coming out of her best friend's room.Edwin snorted in annoyance as he looked at his best friend then covered the man's eyes with his hand. Melati herself just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, continuing to carry the empty tray downstairs."Has he never seen a woman," he muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, Edwin immediately pushed Jovan into his room, even though the man insisted he wanted to wait for Melati and get acquainted with her."Ed, let me get acquainted with him, just a moment, please ...!" Jovan kept begging, but Edwin didn't just let him go."You can do that anytime." Edwin hissed as his anger rose again after seeing Melati.

Why don't you say it directly," she said matter-of-factly, annoyed at Jovan who was staring at him quickly."Oh, I mean, you must be Melati, Edwin's new wife." The man rubbed his neck repeatedly because he was confused by his own words in front of the woman who was apparently pregnant. To be honest it was beyond his own expectations. And he didn't expect his best friend's new wife to have two bodies. Woe to Edwin!"So what if I'm his new wife? Is that a problem for you?" Melati asked while lifting her chin high. No one should lower his self-esteem, whoever it is. Regardless of her current situation, she i

The girl ventured to go in there and deliver breakfast for Melati."Miss Melati, are you all right?" Vienna flinched, immediately put her breakfast beside the bed, then rushed to Melati who was sitting under the sofa with her hands pressing the floor. The woman grimaced like she was in pain and it made Wina a little surprised."Who told you to come in?" Melati hissed, ignoring the woman's hand that wanted to help her up."S-sorry, I just-""Get out right now!" expel Melati to make Vienna jump. This was the first time the girl had received a shout from someone she had just met."But, aren't you in pain, let me help, just this once," said Vienna because she couldn't bear it.

Earlier when the car that was driven with Edwin almost entered the yard, however, the man failed to get off and told the driver to go back to his office, and of course it annoyed them, although of course they could only keep it in their hearts.Even though the distance from home to the office is quite far. Not to mention having to go through a one-way lane which of course takes longer because of the density of traffic flow."You damn boss, how dare you toy with me." The man repeatedly exhaled harshly because of Edwin's actions. Until Jovan wanted to hit the cold man's head as hard as he could, so that he wouldn't act arbitrarily and just waste time by going back and forth on the streets for no apparent reason. They just arrived at the office when it was almost nine o'clock. They left at seven o'clock. Two wasted hours. Jovan kept grumbling in his heart.Edwin himself

Edwin asked matter-of-factly, almost forgetting to even say hello.While Ernawati smiled slightly, she immediately walked away and sat on the sofa in the living room."She has a beautiful name, you know, Melati.""Yes, unfortunately not as beautiful as his behavior," said Edwin lazily. Every time he remembers that woman, annoyance will immediately appear in his head."Her health is a little disturbed. According to the doctor, she has never checked her womb with a midwife or obstetrician. That's why she often experiences cramps and severe pain in the lower abdomen. And it seems that Melati is hiding everything from everyone, so the doctor refers her to go to the hospital immediately. It's just that he's currently resting, after the doctor gave him a small injection."Ernawati gave an explanation that made Edwin couldn't help but want to ask again. The man's brow furrowed."Is it that bad? Then why doesn't he want to get himself checked?""Yes,

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

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'

    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

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

    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

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
