2024-04-11 16:00:19Throughout Lily's memories while being in this grand house, the scent of the room freshener remains the same. Citrus. Sometimes lavender alternates. Except for one room, her employer's office. Lily inhales deeply the Ocean Escape scent because to her, this aroma is more calming than the others.
"So ... what's your decision?" James asks while chin resting on their hand. Their eyes gaze at the interlocutor without interruption.
"I don't know yet." Lily blinks slowly, choosing to look down rather than lock eyes. AnJames Aria's gaze is too intimidating for her. It's as if the words she wants to convey vanish quickly without her realizing.
"You need to decide soon. You've already passed the psychotest stage, right?"
Lily chooses to answer with a nod.
"I don't mind if you want to quit being Cheryl's nanny. Like I said before."
Lily hears the sound of the chair being pushed, then slow but firm steps. Lily can believe in her heart that the man who's

The fragrant aroma of sautéed onions and the slight spiciness of chili peppers filled James' senses as he approached the kitchen. His stomach suddenly wanted to be filled with whatever it was that looked like it would be delicious. The image of a slender figure wearing an apron deftly pacing back and forth there was clearly projected. And that figure was actually in the kitchen. Complete with spatulas and a container that James is sure contains a variety of sea food.James' favorite type of food, and his son's.Speaking of his son, "Where's Cheryl?" asked James curiously as he found the chair the boy usually occupied, empty. Usually the daughter was already sitting there, gazing at the kitchen with interest while occasionally asking this and that cheerfully. Adding to the lively atmosphere of the morning and injecting a pocket full of enthusiasm for James' later activities.Lily only gave him a glance, "Finish making breakfast and I'll wake you up soon, s

Lily also hated doctors. So when Cheryl refuses to go to the doctor, Lily understands. But no less resourceful, a bribe in the form of baked spaghetti after the doctor is a gift. Cheryl couldn't refuse. And now, Lily was being billed for the dish."After eating, you take your medicine again."The little girl beamed with delight as a serving of baked spaghetti was placed in front of her. She seemed to ignore the word "take your medicine" that her nanny had just said."Eat slowly, Miss Cheryl." Lily smoothed Cheryl's hair which seemed to be distracting the child while eating. She occasionally wiped the sauce off the corner of the child's lips."This is really good, Miss."Lily smiled again. She checked Cheryl's forehead; it was better than this morning. She breathed a sigh of relief at last. Lily was quite worried about Cheryl's condition. She had never had any experience with a sick child. Even when she was healthy, the young lady was sometimes indu

Lily sniffed longingly at the scent of the rain-soaked soil. All the plants that filled her senses were evenly wet. Occasionally, there were still drops that fell and then stopped suddenly. The woman closed her eyes, her palms deliberately stretched out to feel the rain that fell in mid-March. Even though this is not a rainy season month. That's how strange the weather is now.One figure she remembered when it rained. Many things that became advice spoken from lips that began to blacken with age, which were still clearly imprinted in his mind. The man she respected all her life. The man who loved her mercilessly. The man who became her first love.Her father.Until that man came along. Captivating her heart, giving her another love, filling the niches of her heart with the full honey called love. People said he was lucky. Levi was good, hardworking, had his own business, a good career, and not to mention handsome. Very. Lily thought so too. She was very lucky. T

Lily exhaled softly. Over and over again. This was a tough spot for Lily as far as Cheryl was concerned. The girl sat next to her, leaning slightly against her as she enjoyed a bowl of cereal. The show on TV was really getting to her. Occasionally the little lips would laugh, then murmur softly."Miss." She couldn't possibly delay any longer. This Wednesday, Lily was invited to sign a temporary employment agreement contract. Which meant that, if Lily agreed, she would be working there from next Monday. Even though it was only for three months, the contract for the workers had to be in place."Come with me for a bike ride in the afternoon." Cheryl gave her a quick glance and then went back to engrossing herself in her treat."Can I have a word?"This time the young lady's attention was firmly on Lily. Even the thick eyebrows on the pretty face looked confused and waiting. Perhaps in her little mind, the governess just wanted to talk about the lessons for t

"I ate because I was hungry, Miss." Cheryl took a big bite of the slice of pizza she had rejected this morning. She quickly wiped the corner of her lips as she felt some sauce getting on them."But I'm still angry with you."Hearing that the little girl was willing to talk even though she was rude and just eat her pizza, Lily was already this happy. She smiled and felt like hugging the girl tightly. Kissing her longingly even though she had not seen her for a few hours. What would happen if she really decided to sign the contract? Lily couldn't be sure about that."Eat slowly, Miss Cheryl." Lily quickly gave her water bottle when she saw that the child was having trouble swallowing."I'm hungry.""Next time bring what I prepared. Didn't you eat lunch earlier?""It's not good.""What do you want to make at home? Nina made rib soup. I think it's delicious.""I just want flour chicken."The woman nodded vigorously. She imme

After the crazy woman left, Cheryl couldn't stop crying. Until Lily carried her back to her room. She chose to open the large window of Cheryl's room. Sitting the child on the window ledge - with a small folding mattress, feeling the breeze. She also brought some pillows and a thick blanket in case the child got cold.Lily also prepared a glass of warm milk. When she returned to the room, the child did not move from there. Her knees were bent and her shoulders were still shaking, albeit quietly. Lily's heart ached even more at this sight."I hate Aunt Donita," Cheryl said as she wiped away her tears that still wouldn't stop.Cheryl sat half leaning on Lily's chest, wrapped in her blanket. Occasionally the child buried her face in the T-shirt worn by her nanny. Cheryl could clearly hear the pounding of her heart which she thought was like the rhythm of soothing music. It felt warm and also very comfortable to be in the arms of the woman who was now looking at her

"I've noticed that you look really happy these past two days."Denny, without waiting for permission from his boss slash best friend, sat down in front of James' desk. He brought an order containing market planning data to discuss as a reference for next month's targets. James only looked up briefly, then ignored Denny. He preferred to fiddle with his laptop screen rather than serve his friend."Do you want to discuss this or are you busy? I want to note down the points. After lunch we'll have a meeting," Denny said, tapping his fingers on the folder he was carrying."You should be happy to see my happy face. Instead, I'm asked what's wrong.""Your sentiments," Denny laughed. That drew a smile from James's lips, albeit slightly.That was the only joke that started this Wednesday. Afterward, James is busy telling us what needs to be prioritized and what needs to be improved. For the branding problem at the E-commerce where he works, James has to be

The woman wandered around. Counting the many possible encounters with the man made her a little uneasy. She was at a loss for what to say, while in the frequent chats sent to her, the man convinced Lily to work there.She was supposed to come today to fulfill the invitation to sign the contract. But she refuses with full conviction.In front of her, Cheryl seemed engrossed in her cell phone. Occasionally her head sways, making her pigtails move. Sometimes her forehead furrowed, and her lips pursed, perhaps annoyed that her game was lost. Often she cheered cheerfully when she got a high score. Lily actually recorded it clearly in her mind.Her uniform had changed into an Ice bear printed T-shirt complete with her name. On the sleeves, Lily had deliberately made creases up to the base of the sleeves. For some reason, a sweatshirt with such a style combined with short jeans with lace accents at the bottom, looked sweet and cute on the girl.Cheryl didn't fee

Hello, My Ex! This is My Daughter from My New Husband [Ekstra. 10]
Days go by, months roll by, years also add up. But one thing is timeless. Togetherness in the two-story house that is now never quiet again. Sometimes Anna's voice fills the corners of the room where Nika is too active to move. The seven-year-old is like a deer in headlights. She can't keep still. I don't know where her energy comes from. Anna is not afraid that something will break or fall because of Nika. But she was worried that her granddaughter would get hurt because she was too agile. Running here and there, sometimes jumping up and down while laughing merrily. Fortunately, Levant could accompany Nika's activities, although the youngest daughter had to wait until her middle sister came home from school. Meanwhile, Cheryl was really busy with her studies. Levant also started to have a lot of activities at school. Even so, Cheryl never wasted time with her family. Even Levant. Whenever there is an opportunity to get together, they do it with great j

Lily gazed at Nika, who had fallen asleep, fondly. She still remembered how she gave birth to her youngest daughter. Although there was a lot of drama, her gratitude never subsided. "Sleep well, sweetheart. Sweet dreams." She gently kissed Nika's forehead as she prayed, "Oh God, always protect my children from nightmares. From people with evil intentions. From the hypocrites around them. Make them good and virtuous children." Fixing the edge of Nika's blanket properly, tidying up the books that Nika had messed up, and making sure the room temperature was comfortable, Lily left the room. Which turned out to be awaited by James. "Not sleeping yet?" asked Lily, who carefully closed the door to Nika's room. "I can't sleep if you're not around." James sulked exactly like Levant. That's why Lily often joked that her husband transformed into his son when he was five years old. All Lily could do was to mess up James' rather messy hair.

Even though it was loud and noisy in her father's luxury SUV, Cheryl still had a quiet spot. Even though her mouth occasionally asked Levant not to tease her youngest sister, who had no idea where Levant's nosy behavior had come from, it was still a niche that sometimes demanded attention. She deliberately created a void in her heart to imprison the figure of Keana there. The figure that should have been there when she was sad, worried, lonely, read her stories, prepared her breakfast, and all sorts of activities that little Lily used to do. Like the woman who sat beside her father; who was never late to accompany her to do anything, even when she arrived in her red and white uniform. Not in a kindergarten uniform or even a time when her memory was not too perfect. The trip to one of the malls in Central Jakarta didn't take too long. Once in the parking area, James asked Levant and Nika's nanny to enter the shopping center first.

In the past, it took a lot of effort for Lily to get Cheryl to talk. This time, Cheryl could easily tell Lily anything, especially what happened to her. From her activities at school to her friends who she finds annoying. Cheryl had something to tell Lily. For her, talking to her mom is fun. Unlike her father, who often teases her. Especially about relationships with the opposite sex. "What's wrong, mom?" Cheryl folded her arms across her chest. Her face was sullen. The look in her eyes held irritation. "What's wrong with Papa?" Lily folded her smile. She reached out her hand to tidy up her daughter's long hair which was a bit messy. "I was asked about Noah. Am I his friend? When did I become Noah Narendra's friend?" "Drink the milk first, okay?" "I'm not Levant, Mom." Cheryl still didn't accept being treated like a child.Even so, she accepted the glass Lily handed her. She sipped slowly,

The second pregnancy was a bit risky for Lily. Her age made her worry, although not as much as the happiness that surrounded her. The doctor said, "As long as you take care of your womb, condition, and food intake, God willing, it will be fine." For Lily, everything that poured into her life now was more than a gift. What she had hoped for all this time, the millions of prayers she made in every prostration happened so easily. As if without burden, God gave her that wish when Lily let go of everything. When she let go of being a childless woman. Cheryl was enough for her to show off. Risa's advice to Lily was exactly that. So when her first pregnancy happened, the happiness was not only hers. But her whole family. Nita and Rianto often traveled to Jakarta to see their first grandchild grow. As befits the name Lily gave her second child-for Cheryl was her first-Levant Akala Virza. She hopes that her life will be as bright as her name.

The man was still frozen in front of the steering wheel. There was a moment of hesitation before he decided to actually get out and walk towards the place where James Adam's fare wall party was being held. Today, his coworker resigned. He chose to continue the business he had started rather than struggle under the command of someone else. There was a mountain of curiosity in the man's heart. Especially the words that had been bothering him since this morning. "I'm definitely missing Mr. James at work."He said honestly. His coworker this time was very dedicated to work."Mr. Levi could have. I had intended to resign a long time ago but the timing always clashed. It just so happens that my wife is spoiled beyond belief, asking to be accompanied at home.""Pregnant women have different hormones, boss," said Denny, James Adam's assistant. "Ms. Lily is so independent when she's spoiled, it's really funny.""Don't imagine someone's wife. Date someone else!"

"Where's Lily, James?" It was James' turn to be puzzled by such a question. Since leaving the room he had chosen to tidy up the files in his study first and then head to the dining room. Usually his wife, Sari, was preparing breakfast. But this morning, she wasn't there. Plus his mother's question just now. "Probably in Cheryl's room." That was all James could answer. "Morning, Grandma. Morning, Papa." Cheryl, cheerfully approached her father as well as her grandmother. Giving a good morning kiss befor

Lily is tired? She must be.However, her heart was happy because in addition to the wedding party that she had once dreamed of, it was perfectly realized by her husband. Even her wishes regarding the bridal room. Although she had protested, Lily was able to get her husband to comply. There was no bridal suite in the place where she spent her first night after becoming husband and wife. Even though the hotel had offered the most luxurious package to Lily, she refused. James actually didn't understand Lily's way of thinking. Wouldn't she be amazed to see how beautifully the bridal suite was decorated?James was eager to ask, but a smile and a sad look appeared on Lily's beautiful face. He did not want to ask further. Maybe later, when she was in a better mood, he would ask her about it."Tired?" asked James when he entered the room.He glanced at his wife who w

BALI The man frowns. The wedding invitation the receptionist had just given him was enough to make him tingle, but he would still tell his employer. There was no way he could hide this invitation from her."Keana," Andri called out loudly as he entered the long-haired woman's apartment unit."What the hell, you're screaming incoherently!"Keana, who was putting on her eyelashes, felt suddenly distracted. She felt like throwing her assistant with the boots next to her. It took a lot of concentration to put on those lashes and Andri succeeded in distracting her."I have a surprise for you."Andri grinned innocently. Handing the invitation to the woman. Keana snorted in displeasure but she read it anyway. She read the wedding invitation that came to her for a long time."When will it arrive?" She was still flipping through the ivory-colored invitat
