When Veronica got separated from Frans, Yogi quickly approached and stopped her."Veronica, wait!" he called out, gripping Veronica's wrist."Yogi?" Veronica tried to release her wrist from Yogi's grasp. She needed to meet her two brothers-in-law quickly to catch up with Bianca at the hospital."Just wait for a moment, Veronica. I beg you," Yogi pleaded."Okay, five minutes," Veronica finally managed to free her wrist. "Go on.""I know this is entirely inappropriate because you're married now. But I want to tell you something, something I've kept inside for a long time. I should have had the courage to say it to you.""Yogi, don't beat around the bush. I don't like that. Just say it directly. I don't have much time. I...""I've fallen in love with you," Yogi cut her off abruptly."What? Are you crazy, Yogi? Can't you see I'm pregnant, and you're confessing your feelings to me now? You're aware I'm married, right? So why are you risking it?" Veronica explained."I know you're married n
"I've never cared about other people's feelings. I only care about you, the man I love," Veronica said as she wrapped her arm around Frans's, using his muscular arm as a pillow for her head. Not to provoke Yogi but because Veronica was genuinely tired right now."You're tired!" Frans embraced Veronica.Veronica nodded weakly. "Yes, I want to lie down right now. As you know, I can't stay away from the bed for too long," she teased."We'll wait until the doctor finishes examining Bianca. Then we'll go home," Frans replied, kissing the top of Veronica's head.Such moments were quite normal for Frans and Veronica, but not for Yogi. It hurt his heart to see the affection between the married couple."Family of the patient?" a doctor asked as he appeared at the door. "I'm her husband," Gerald quickly replied."We're her parents," Bianca's father added."Please come with me," the doctor instructed, and the three of them followed him into a nearby room, not far from the ICU.Inside his heart,
****Gerald didn't pay any attention when Frans called his name, so Frans had to chase after him, leaving Veronica with her brother. He asked Kirana to take Veronica home since she was tired and a little hungry."Ger! Where are you going?" Frans shouted, trying to catch up to Gerald as he was about to leave the hospital. Frans managed to grab Gerald's jacket at the end of the hallway."What's going on?" Frans was still trying to catch his breath."I don't want this marriage anymore!" Gerald replied, ripping his jacket off and tossing it at Frans."What is this all about? Your wife is lying weak in the hospital, and you say you don't want this marriage anymore?" Frans pushed Gerald roughly against the wall. He then grabbed the collar of Gerald's shirt. "Tell me what's going on.""I'll never be able to have children for the rest of my life, Frans. Not with Bianca as my wife. You know, she had a miscarriage, and her uterus couldn't be saved," Gerald explained. His chest felt heavy as he
"It is okay, dear. "I'm just afraid of losing you," interrupted Gerald quickly. He kissed Bianca's forehead for a long time. Before he said, “I'll stay for a while, okay? I want to go to the bathroom. If you are tired, go to sleep.”Bianca nodded weakly. Her pale lips moved slowly to say 'yes' without a sound.Gerald immediately went into the bathroom. Then close the bathroom door tightly. Only then did he turn on the water tap to disguise the sound of his crying. Without being able to hold it in any longer, Gerald spilled everything. To reduce the feeling of tightness that is now squeezing his chest.“We just drank happiness. But now it's gone. Until we die we will never experience having a child. Oh, God. Why don't you just take my life. "I'm willing, as long as he's happy," he said softly. While hitting his own chest.Gerald's world has collapsed. There was no more happiness that he could see in front of him. There were only tears and goodbyes. Which will overshadow both of their h
"You're welcome, Mom," Veronica replied, nodding weakly.Seeing Veronica with her tiny baby in her household, Kirana felt a twinge of envy. She had longed for the same thing for quite some time now. She and Adrian had been seeking medical assistance everywhere. However, after five years, God had not yet blessed them with a child.Not long after Veronica was moved to the regular hospital room, Gerald and Bianca arrived. Both of them shared in the joy of this moment. Although Bianca already had a nephew, Arinda's child, a baby girl had a special charm of her own.Feeling fondness, Bianca asked Frans and Veronica for permission to hold their baby."What's her name, Veronica?" Bianca inquired, cradling the tiny baby closer to Gerald."We have two names prepared. However, we are still undecided about which one to give her," Frans replied. At this moment, Veronica lacked the energy to speak further. All she wanted right now was to sleep. However, the doctor requested that she stay awake a l
Furthermore, every time she met Gerald's parents, they always hoped and prayed that she would get pregnant soon. They were impatient to hold their grandchild. A grandchild they would only get from Gerald alone.For two hours, Bianca cried in the corner of the room. For two hours, Gerald searched everywhere for her. Bianca had left to use the restroom two hours ago, and she still hadn't returned. Gerald had tried to contact his wife, but there was no response whatsoever.Finally, Gerald contacted Bianca's mother and inquired about his wife's whereabouts. He was somewhat relieved when his mother-in-law informed him that Bianca had returned home hours ago.Without waiting long, Gerald quickly followed Bianca home without saying goodbye to Frans and Veronica. He suddenly felt uneasy about his wife.Indeed, when Gerald arrived, he saw Bianca standing in front of their bedroom window. She was still crying, though silently. Her face was even more swollen now, and her eyes were puffy."Darlin
"We leave the day after tomorrow." Gerald rubbed Bianca's shoulder, who was trying to put Rina to sleep.Bianca only nodded gently at Gerald's departure. Because she knew what was in her husband's heart. Deep down in Gerald's heart, Bianca was sure that he really wanted to have a baby of his own. Like Fran for example.However, Gerald always dismissed this. He didn't want Bianca to feel inferior. They have tried IVF three times. By borrowing another woman's womb for their future baby to grow. However, this process has not produced any results.There is only one way left for Gerald to have children. Namely, marrying another woman. However, Gerald strongly rejected this.When Vanya, or what Frans and Veronica usually call Anya, grew up, Veronica decided to continue her education. To complete his education.During college, Veronica changed her appearance one hundred and eighty degrees. Now she has a body that is so slim, and skin that is so smooth. Since her daughter Vanya finished drink
In front, Firman and Yuna laughed at what Yogi did to Veronica. As well as capturing intimate photos of the two of them.“Aarrgghh.” Veronica growled. He hit Yogi on the head to get him to let go.Yogi grimaced. The pain from the impact with Veronica's head made him even more determined to fondle Veronica."Gi, I beg you..." Veronica whispered. While pushing Yogi's chest away. Because the man was now trying to leave traces on Veronica's neck. He wanted Frans to misunderstand and immediately divorce the woman he loved."Trust me, Gi. If my husband divorces me, never mind having me, you won't even see me." Veronica stopped fighting. He even gave Yogi access to taste every inch of his skin.Yogi, who was pressing down on Veronica, and trying to leave traces on Veronica's neck, stopped. He looked at Veronica who had now resigned herself to her treatment.In the next second, Yogi moved down from on top of Veronica's body. “What makes you fall in love with him, Veronica? He's old!" Yogi sna
"Do you still think about your ex-girlfriend?" Emily asked curiously.Vean fell silent. The image of Laura couldn't just disappear from his mind. The disappointment of being left behind still lingered deep in his heart, making him unable to forget her anytime soon.But Vean had promised to change. He had his own life now. And to redeem his wrongdoing, he would take responsibility for Emily and the child she was carrying."Love that brings pain is difficult to forget. But I will learn to cherish the true love that's right in front of me," Vean said with a smile.Emily smiled back. She wasn't sure if Vean's words could be trusted, but one thing was clear: when her husband gently held her hand, she tried to believe that hope was real.***Emily was currently on a plane to England with Vean. She stroked her growing belly, now in its fourth month of pregnancy. Many of her clothes didn't fit anymore, so Vean had bought her plenty of maternity clothes."I have a good doctor contact in Englan
"This is good news. Congratulations, Mrs. Emily. You have tested positive for pregnancy," Dr. Hans said with a delighted expression as he shared the results of Emily's recent tests.Emily's eyes widened in shock upon hearing that she was pregnant. She gently caressed her slightly bulging belly. Emily had thought that her recent bloating was due to overeating, but it seemed that her distended stomach was caused by something else entirely – a growing baby."Hmm, if I may ask, Mrs. Emily, do you have a husband?" Dr. Hans inquired."Yes, of course, but my husband is currently in England," Veronica replied."Well, he should be informed about this wonderful news as soon as possible. I understand how difficult long-distance marriage can be. It must be torturous not being able to be with your soulmate. I experienced it when I was a young doctor."Emily remained silent. She was truly bewildered about what to do next. Legally, there was no issue with her being pregnant by her legitimate husband
"Hmm, are you happy sitting with me now?" Vean asked, leaning closer to Emily.Emily slightly shifted her body when Vean got a bit closer. Although they were husband and wife, Emily couldn't expect Vean to touch her like a husband would his wife. Especially here, Emily was just a replacement wife."Um, well..." Emily hesitated to answer.If asked if she was happy, she certainly was. But on the other hand, Emily didn't like her current situation. She would rather be alone than with a man who was heavily intoxicated."You know, Laura always liked sitting alone with me. Especially when I started playing with her hair..." Vean reached out his hand and started twirling Emily's hair with his index finger.Emily's blood seemed to rush as a result of Vean's actions. Especially when he brought his face closer, slowly kissing her hair."Oh my goodness! Am I dreaming right now?" Emily whispered in her heart, her heart pounding wildly. She had never been treated like this before, and that's why s
Vean knew that in the eyes of others, he might seem like a frustrated man who was upset about failing to marry his girlfriend, Laura. Vean was just an ordinary guy. He longed to be happy with Laura. When that couldn't happen, how could he not be disappointed?And now, he had to marry another woman, Emily. Vean didn't know what Emily's feelings were, but he honestly felt foolish about the whole situation.What was on Vean's mind right now was the profound sadness he couldn't overcome. He just wanted to be happy with Laura.Vean's eyes closed. His memories went back to the past, when he and Laura were still together and planning to live together forever..."I thought, marriage isn't for everyone," Vean said while stroking Laura's hair."Why do you think that?" Laura asked curiously."Well, I've seen many celebrities who don't consider marriage a sacred thing. They get married, divorced, just like changing clothes.""Don't you like their behavior?""It's not that I don't like it. I can't
Vean took Emily into the elevator, and she followed him quietly. After a few moments, the elevator doors opened on the 15th floor. Vean walked out, and Emily followed.Finally, they stood in front of Vean's apartment door. The driver opened it for them, and they entered.Emily was in awe of the luxurious apartment. "Wow, it's a beautiful apartment," Emily said. Vean just rolled his eyes, not in the mood to respond to Emily's questions after the long journey.***Two weeks later, I had to reluctantly follow Vean to England after getting a report from Emily. The pounding music made everyone in the room dance on the dance floor. Including Vean. He swayed his body to the rhythm of the music played by the DJ.Vanya observed the behavior of her twin brother, who was busy dancing on the dance floor. She knew Vean was very frustrated. He had been drinking continuously and ended up going 'crazy' on the dance floor."Come on, sistah! Let's dance together!" shouted Vean as he raised a bottle of b
"Sigh, can't I ask anything?" Emily said, a bit disheartened."It's not wrong to ask, but your questions are like a child's. Anyway, sleep so you won't keep bothering me," Vean said, trying to close his eyes."Sir..." Emily called again. Vean sighed, "What is it now, Emily? Can't you let me sleep? I really want to sleep," Vean replied."Um... I need to use the restroom, Sir," Emily said."Oh my God, we've just taken off. Why didn't you go earlier?" Vean asked in frustration."Can't you use the restroom on the plane?" Emily asked while holding her stomach, feeling the urgency to go."Sigh... just go to the back, there'll be a flight attendant there," Vean said."Can't you escort me, Sir? I'm scared," Emily continued to persuade Vean to accompany her. She was too embarrassed to go alone since it was her first time flying, and her nervousness had caused her to act oddly."Go by yourself, I want to sleep," Vean replied.Emily sighed and chose to hold it in.Vean, who pretended to sleep, k
The next day, they were ready to leave for the airport. Veronica and Frans accompanied them."Vean, did you forget anything?" Alden asked."No, Dad." Vean placed his luggage in the car, as did Emily. After that, they headed to the airport."Vean, once you arrive in England, will you start working immediately?" Frans inquired, knowing that his son had a demanding job."Um, not sure yet, Dad. If it's urgent, I'll start right away," Vean replied."Don't forget to eat and get enough rest," his father advised him."Yes, Dad," Vean answered. The car ride felt long to Emily, who didn't say much, especially since she was sitting next to Vean.***A little while later, they arrived at the airport. Their luggage was unloaded with the help of their private driver. Emily, who was seeing an airport of this size for the first time, was amazed. It was so different from train stations or terminals she was used to, which were not as grand."Oh..." Emily accidentally bumped into someone while looking a
"Ugh..." Vean sighed in annoyance."Are you still going to be silent? Hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Vean said. Emily remained silent, not responding."Why are you still silent? Come on, hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Vean repeated, growing impatient."Um... I'm going, sir," Emily finally replied, nervously. She quickly grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom.A few moments later, Emily had finished showering but had forgotten to bring her change of clothes. Her previous outfit was now wet. She hesitated in the bathroom, unsure how to leave.Vean started banging on the bathroom door, making Emily even more uncertain about how to exit."Emily, what are you doing? Come out! I know my bathroom is comfortable, but it doesn't mean you can sleep in my bathroom," Vean said."Um... yes, just a moment, sir," Emily replied, still unsure how to leave."Um... Mr. Vean...""What? Come out! I need to shower!" Vean said impatiently."Um, I'm confused about how to go out since I fo
"It's not like that. But I'm sure Mr. Vean is uncomfortable with me here," Emily replied."Never mind. Just sleep on the sofa," Vean said, then went to the closet to change his clothes.Emily simply followed Vean's instructions and walked toward the sofa, carrying her bag."Aaaaaaa...." Emily suddenly screamed, startling Vean. She immediately turned her back to him."Why are you screaming like that? You scared me. Do you think we're in the jungle or something?" Vean responded angrily.Emily screamed because she saw Vean suddenly take off his clothes. Emily saw Vean who was shirtless. One side of his cheek turned red at the thought of something unthinkable. "You... why aren't you wearing clothes?!" said Emily who still didn't want to look at Vean. "You think I'm taking off my clothes to execute you. Don't be overly confident, I'm not lusting after your flat body. Besides, I can't sleep if I'm not wearing clothes." "But... but I'm here. Can't you put your clothes back on," said
