Forced Marriage Chapter 10
Chapter 10Vienna slowly opened the bedroom door, after several knocks, but there was no answer from inside. 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. However, the disease of pregnant women is different from ordinary people. She knew, because his brother had experienced such a thing, until finally his life could not be helped and died."I don't need your he

11Jovan snorted in annoyance, his fists clenched into perfect fists. They had just arrived at his office moments ago. 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
Forced Marriage Chapter 12
Chapter 12"Hello, mom, how is that woman?" 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,

Chapter 13Calm down, the woman will definitely be fine." Anita tried to calm Ernawati who was shaking.“B-but, Melati…!” The woman panicked seeing Melati's sad state. It's no secret that Ernawati is easily shocked when unexpected events happen to her.All of this happened after she witnessed for herself how her family had an accident while on vacation to her husband's village, causing her husband to lose his life and his two children to have a terrible accident. Since then, the woman seemed traumatized if there was an unexpected incident.Anita continued to stare at the car, leaving slowly away, then disappeared around the corner. It's true what his housekeeper was gossiping about this morning, that his nephew's wife was in fact pregnant. Even when Edwin carried her into the car, it was clear that the woman's stomach was growing, although Anita doubted that Edwin was the father of the unborn baby. Given the pious nature and cold demeanor of the man, it is not easy to be tempted by wo

14"Are you ready to hear it?" A man in a formal suit sat in front of Edwin, as the man's gaze became serious. Edwin nodded quickly."Her name is Melati Anastasia, twenty-five years old. The woman graduated from college two years ago and worked for a company in this city, until finally one day she was asked to resign by her father and return to her village for whatever reason.According to reliable sources, Melati's family finances have deteriorated and her father almost went bankrupt due to something that we are currently investigating. Whether for that reason or not, we don't know yet, it's just that according to some residents' information, one night Melati was forcibly taken into a car by her father's men and taken away somewhere. On her return two days later, the woman was taken to the hospital with injuries all over her body."Edwin and Jovan looked at each other with a heavy sigh."You want to hear the rest of the story?" The man with the thin mustache again asked Edwin who imm

Chapter 15Melati woke up when the sun shone on her pure white face. The woman's eyes blinked many times before finally gathering her consciousness."Miss Melati is awake?" A girl in pink approached. Melati put on a wrinkled face in front of Vienna."Where am I?" Melati looked around, which was dominated by white color with a characteristic smell of medicine."Hospital?" Vienna nodded slowly."Who brought me to this place?" Melati again asked in surprise. He massaged his heavy head. His eyes also felt puffy."Of course Mr. Edwin. Mrs. Erna and I can't carry Mrs. Melati, Mr. Candra, especially. Meanwhile, the security guard would not dare." Vienna explained in detail and her typical gibberish. Melati raised her hand to stop the cheerful girl from talking because it only made her head dizzy."Enough, I already know." Melati rubbed her face. The cramping stomach is no longer felt. He remembered what had happened until he ended up in a place he didn't like."The man who...""Who?" Vienna

Chapter 16"Okay, if mommy is okay, instead, mom should go home with Jovan later." Ernawati nodded again, understanding her son's concern. Indeed, since the accident that killed her husband, the woman was a little traumatized to ride a vehicle let alone travel far, so when Edwin picked her up from the village, Ernawati did not want to sit far from her own child.There are still untouched lunch boxes in the tote bag. The woman grabbed him and led Edwin to sit on the sofa."Eat, please, you must be hungry after work all day." Edwin smiled faintly, even though he wasn't really hungry, considering that dinner was still long, after all, he had enjoyed a lot of food during a meeting at the hotel."Ed, are you tired right now?" Edwin turned his head as his mouth was about to open and stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth. Even though he's not too hungry, his mother's cooking always makes him feel good."No, Mom, I'm not too busy today. I was just doing work as usual and going to meetings
Forced Marriage Chapter 17
Chapter 17Edwin's chest moved up and down when he heard the words of the woman lying on the bed. He did not think that Melati was so selfish. It even felt like he wanted to squeak and put a hand over his mouth that was presumptuous to speak without thinking first."You know Melati, even my brother has been married for almost twenty years, but he hasn't been blessed with children despite all his efforts. And you just talk casually. You already know that committing adultery is a very big sin, and you want me to let it go. you died with your child. It's really bad thinking. At least after you've committed a sin, you can take a lesson and realize your mistake and repent, instead of being selfish like this all the time!""I don't need a lecture from you! Just keep it all to yourself. Besides, what do you know about my life to be so brave to judge me, huh!?" Melati glared at him. Their gazes sharpened as if they wanted to eat each other.Without them knowing, Vienna, who had just opened th

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

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
Forced Marriage Chapter 82
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
Forced Marriage Chapter 81
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
