"Don't blame Amanda, Mom. This is all because of me."
"Stop defending your insolent wife!" snapped her mother her eyes flashing with anger. "Oh My God!! How could my son be so stupid? He married a woman who can only be used as a display."
"Mom."
"No! This can't be allowed. I don't want my son to be played with." Ningsih was about to leave. However, Radit had already moved quickly and hugged her from behind. "Let me go, Radit! I want to complain about this to Mr. Yuda. Let him know what his son is like."
Ningsih's fierce face now turned to Amanda who had appeared in front of her. What mother's heart wouldn't hurt when she found out that her marriage was just a plaything?
"I'm sorry, Mom," Amanda whispered.
"Don't apologize to me! To the One Above! You lied to God, your family, and all of us. How could you!" Ningsih was already sobbing and holding her head.

The words just now made Amanda reflexively widen her eyes. "You've got to be kidding me. This isn't funny.""I'm serious," said Radit who was now staring intently at his wife's tanned eyes. "I did promise Mom not to divorce you, but... we can still separate according to the original plan.""What do you mean?""You can sue me, right?" Radit now smiled briefly until he finally chuckled softly. He was right about what his husband had just said. Amanda nodded and said yes. Ah. She was surprised and even shocked for a moment. It was unthinkable to live with a man she didn't love for a long time. Now the two of them are walking hand in hand towards the ballroom. Attending the wedding reception of one of the lecturer's children who works at Radit's place. So before flying to Singapore, they stopped b
What happened a few hours ago made Amanda realize that she had fallen deeply in love with Ayra. The baby girl who was only considered a niece and nephew has now managed to grab all the attention of the beautiful model. Only then did she understand that the child's condition was important above all else. Ayra only had a fever. Not a serious illness or anything. However, Amanda's brain had guided her into a state of panic. Thinking that the baby, who was almost three months old, could get worse. There was some truth to that, too. That was draining her energy. Even now. What if he was allowed to choose Ayra instead? Would Radit not mind if his daughter was taken? Ah. What kind of thinking is that? How could it be? Her husband only had one child who was a memento of the fruit of love with his late wife. She definitely couldn't be selfish. Her reverie was broken when she heard Ayra's whimper. Amanda, who had been lying down with her e
"Ayra kept crying. That's why I brought her to the front of the bathroom. What do you think I'm crazy?" Radit no longer made the chatty comments he had earlier. He realized that he had gone a little too far. Naturally. He was a man after all. Easy to get angry and get emotional because his biological needs are not channeled properly.Ayra is crying."Yes, dear. I'm right here. I was just taking a shower. Already?" coaxed Amanda who was busy calming Ayra. The baby girl even refused when her father wanted to hold her. She was scared because she heard a loud noise that had accidentally caught her ear a few moments ago."Scared, hmm? I'm sorry," said Radit, who was very sorry. However, Ayra still struggled when Radit's hand was about to reach her. Inevitably the man could only watch."Daddy is like that because he was surprised. He loves you. It's okay, dear." Amanda now smiled lovingly. Knowing that her son was still scared. "With me first. Yes?
It was to be expected. What Mr. Yuda was worried about happened. The middle-aged man let out a long sigh after hearing his wife's story. Then he wiped his face with one palm."I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced them," he said later."Honey?"Mr. Yuda smiled bitterly. "Sorry, I just regret what happened." However, he couldn't possibly insist on keeping his daughter and son-in-law together. It couldn't be helped. They had tried, right? That's what Mr. Yuda was thinking right now. Meanwhile, in the living room, Amanda and Radit were waiting anxiously. They were afraid that something would happen to their papa, considering that his health condition had deteriorated before. Until the sound of approaching footsteps interrupted their reverie the next second. Mama Tiara was seen walking slowly towards the couple."Daddy is fine. No need to worry." The statement just now made them both breathe a sigh of relief. However, Amand
Radit furrowed his brows after listening to Amanda's plan. Then he shrugged his shoulders."You're up to something," he said. "Why don't you make the call?""I want to make a surprise. How?" said Amanda, who immediately winced. Inevitably Radit's wife showed a row of numbers from her cellphone screen."This is what you call using me, Manda," said Radit."Come on. Tell Andre's assistant that you're his friend. He won't suspect anything because Andre would never share his number with a stranger." Amanda was right. Her lover's assistant immediately told her where he was. Now both of them rushed to one of the bars there."It's dangerous, Manda," Radit warned.However, Amanda looked relaxed. "It's just an entertainment venue.""There are many negative things there.""You're so short-sighted. Anyone has been there. Come on, I'll show you a new place!" Radit couldn't argue. Now he was in the position of a little brother who was being guarded by his o
Amanda chuckled softly after stepping to Radit's side. She gave her husband a memorable smile as she stared at Andre who was now wide-eyed in shock."Manda, no kidding!" Andre shook his head in disbelief at what he was seeing."Radit is right. I'd better solve our problem first.""Honey, why are you here to break my heart like this?" Andre growled, holding back his anger. I swear. He felt so embarrassed because his assumption was wrong. Her lover had chosen her legal husband over herself. He couldn't accept it."It's getting late, Manda. We should go home now," Radit whispered later. However, Amanda was still unmoved. Her eyes were still staring sadly at Andre who felt ignored. The girl then stepped over and gently touched his right arm."We can still meet tomorrow, right? I'll come to the location. It's safer than here. It's all for our good, honey," Amanda coaxed.Andre raised one of his palms in front of his chest. It was as if he was givin
Radit couldn't read the entire message because Amanda's phone screen was locked. However, he was pretty sure that Andre was waiting in front of the room. As a result, he got out of bed very carefully. He didn't want to disturb his wife who was still asleep."I want to talk to Manda. Where is she?" attacked Andre straight to the point. He was even ready to walk in."She's sleeping. Don't disturb her," Radit replied straightforwardly. His hand was already at the door."She has to listen to my explanation," Andre growled because he couldn't wait to see his lover, but again Radit held him back. "You stay out of this!""Leave or I'll call the security guards!" Radit threatened.Inevitably Andre took a step back. He glared at Radit who was still in the doorway."I'll come again." The sentence just now was only responded to by Radit with silence. Then he chose to close the door again. Watching Amanda who occasionally wriggled on the bed there. Until this time it was his cell pho
Amanda was very confident in her assumption. The disappointment and hurt from Andre's treatment were forgotten as she looked at Tisa's sad face. Here she was now. Waiting for her best friend to open her eyes. Until a few minutes later, the long-awaited time arrived."Hi!" greeted Amanda who immediately smiled in a friendly manner. Inevitably caressing Tisa's pale face with affection."Manda?" The surprised Tisa hurriedly straightened up. Her face immediately tightened. "Why are you here?"Amanda immediately pouted. "Hug me first. You should be happy that I'm carrying you, Tis."Tisa shook her head. She glanced at Radit who was sitting not far from Amanda. "Don't tell me you've been in Singapore for a long time?""Whatever. The important thing is that I'm here. I'll take care of you. Okay?""Have you met Andre yet?"Amanda nodded briefly. "Let's not talk about anything else. What matters now is you and...," She paused when she saw Tisa's flat stomach. "...him over there."
At first, Radit, who was already an acute pussycat to Amanda, was very worried when he saw the person in front of them at this time. However, his worries slowly disappeared after witnessing how his woman no longer wanted to avoid him."What's the beautiful child's name?" Amanda asked with a smile.The one-year-old baby girl on her mother's lap squirmed a little. Then she smiled and looked embarrassed."My name is Aulia, Auntie."It was Tisa, the mother, who answered the question just now. Shortly thereafter Amanda stretched out her hand and was greeted with a peck by the baby. Making Ayra, who had been sitting quietly in her baby chair, suddenly rebel. The behavior of the future sister of Amanda's twins became the attention of the adults around her."My mom!!" screeched Ayra with ey
For the past day, Amanda had been mumbling to herself in her room. The beautiful woman only came out to fill her stomach or occasionally see how Ayra was doing. Of course, she was still upset that her husband left without inviting her. Even though what Radit said earlier was true. He would probably be exhausted because of their very busy activities until the evening. Even so, Amanda's little heart didn't accept it. So she was pouting now. "Just come in. It's not locked," said Amanda, looking at herself in the mirror. A few seconds later Ningsih appeared, carrying Ayra who was already asleep. Her mother-in-law entered and laid her granddaughter down on the bed."Me and Tiara are going out. Ayra is with you first." Amanda immediately winced. Why didn't they want to invite her too? Or at least make small talk. "Where are you going, Mom?""Tiara asked to be accompanied to the supermarket. To buy some fruits," Ningsih answered. "Ayra will be left alone if you c
Amanda reflexively widened her eyelids when she felt pain in her abdomen. Radit also realized that his daughter had woken up."Mom!!""Yes, sweetheart. Why did you hit my hand anyway? You hit your mom's stomach too." Radit grumbled while looking at his wife."It's okay," said Amanda who then sat down. Then she smiled at Ayra who was already pouting. "What's wrong with your child, why are you hitting him again? You said you loved him too, why is that, hmm?""My mom!"The little girl gave her daddy a sharp look. As if to tell him that Amanda only belonged to him. While now Radit is only a listener to the two mothers and children who started talking.Now in her soft voice, Amanda explained that Ayra's attitude was wrong just now. There was no raised tone or annoyance caught on the face of his beautiful wife. Making Radit even more amazed at his woman."Next time talk nicely, dear," Amanda said, to which Ayra nodded in return. "Try saying sorry to daddy. You were already beating too. You
"What's wrong with you? Your pregnant wife is stressing you out. What do you want, huh?" Radit shook his head slowly with his head bowed. He did not dare to look at the mother's face who was nagging him. While Tiara was only silent while looking at the two in turn."I'm just worried about her," Radit said in a soft voice. "I never thought that Manda would be pregnant with twins. That's very risky." Yes. It wasn't that Radit wasn't happy, but the worry he had was more than anything at the moment. Bad memories of his previous wife's death began to dance in his head.Seeing his anxious face, Mrs. Ningsih chuckled softly and pulled out a chair so that she and Radit were now facing each other. One hand touched the shoulder of her only child. "Let go of what has happened. I know that you're afraid that Manda will experience something similar to what happened last time, right?" she asked, to which Radit quickly agreed. "Everything is out of our control as humans, D
"There's not just one doctor. There are many choices and I think... this is the best. He's also more pro-normal labor." Radit said with a smile. He was no longer angry because the topic of Dinda had come up again, even though it wasn't intentional. "That's it then," Amanda said later."Or do you already have your own choice of doctor, hem?" asked Radit as he slowed down his vehicle.Amanda shook her head quickly in response. "I haven't been back here for a long time. So it's up to you where we go.""Who knows if there are suggestions from friends or colleagues on social media," Radit muttered."Not really. My only friend was Tisa and now I'm too lazy to get close to anyone. Besides, I already have a husband and children. That's enough for me." The statement just now made Radit realize that the woman beside him had been introverted for a long time. Even when she was with the late Dinda, Amanda seemed indifferent. She never showed a friendly attitude towards e
Something was off. That's what Amanda concluded now. She could not ask Radit because the atmosphere was not favorable. Moreover, Ayra began to whine because she wanted to be on her lap."Yes already. Just a minute, honey," Radit said to his daughter. He began to pull the vehicle over and then got out of the car."MOMMY!" Ayra was already impatient. Her hands and feet were busy thrashing. Making Tiara who held her a little overwhelmed. For a few seconds, the little girl smiled when the papa took over and put her body where she wanted."How is it, honey? Are you comfortable?" Radit asked after moving Amanda's seat back. Leaving a little distance so that his beautiful wife's legs could move more freely. "Already," Amanda replied casually. Then Radit returned to driving the car as before. Meanwhile, Ayra already looked happy to be on her mama's lap."Ma?""Yes, sweetheart. Let's go back to Medan," Amanda said with a smile. Throughout the trip, her
"Yes. One moment!" Amanda finally spoke up as well so that the people out there were no longer busy calling out. The beautiful woman looked nervous because she was confused about what to do. While Radit watched with an annoying smile."Honey, hey," called Radit who quickly tucked some of Amanda's hair behind her ear. Then gently wiped the beads of sweat that remained on the beautiful face. "Calm down first. Don't panic. What are you afraid of, hem?"Amanda chuckled. "Grandma and the others are here, Radit. Look at us! Still disheveled like this.""Yes, dear. I know. There's no need to panic so much. Don't forget that we are a legally married couple," Radit explained that it was true. "Whatever it is ... the important thing is I don't want to look like this.""Okay, okay. I'll take you to the bathroom," Radit muttered later."What's with the sheets? It's dirty."Radit nodded. He put on his pants and top with a taxing motion. Then his hands moved quickly to pull each end o
Radit did not answer the question immediately. The man published a smile for his guilt-ridden wife. Then pulled her arm gently to erode the distance created between them. "There's nothing to regret, honey," whispered Radit, who was hugging his wife from the side. Inevitably landing a soft peck on his woman's temple. "Ayra is still small. She doesn't understand that soon she will have a younger sibling.""That's exactly it, Radit. I don't want her to feel rivaled."Radit tightened his embrace again until he could feel Amanda's bouncy stomach. "Hey, don't be afraid of that. Our children will not lack love. God is never wrong in determining the destiny of His servants." Their conversation no longer continued because Amanda had yawned several times. Even so, Radit also decided to fall asleep next to his wife. Now the small family is compactly sleeping together on the bed where Ayra is on the far left side. No one can guess who woke up first between them. Even no
What her grandmother said was also proven. It had only been three days since Radit left, and Amanda was already feeling homesick. The beautiful former model sighed when she saw the clouds outside. It must be a bad signal and make her unable to meet via video call with her husband. Since expressing their feelings for each other, the love in their hearts has only grown. This is the risk especially when they are in a long-distance relationship.Amanda smiled and shook her head as she realized she was in love. Until a knock on the door made her quickly straighten her back."There are a lot of packages arriving, Nda," she reported, pointing at the door. "Your husband intended to make a surprise but instead he's being a nuisance. It's embarrassing!"Amanda blinked her eyes. "What's up, Grandma? Did Radit send something?""Yes," said her grandmother quickly. "He didn't know the address of this house. But the package says the village head's house. See for yourself!"
