Amanda felt her heart heavy in the living room with the man she once loved. The atmosphere that was usually filled with laughter and jokes between the two of them now turned silent and tense. Henry sat on the sofa with a hopeful look while Amanda stood before him with a serious look."Amanda, please forgive me," he begged softly. "I realize I made a big mistake and now regret it. I promise I will change and make things right."Henry deeply regrets his actions and endlessly asks his ex-wife for a second chance. However, the door to Amanda's heart has been closed tightly by the wounds caused by Henry. No matter how sweet her ex-husband's words were, she didn't want to return to the past.Amanda took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. That the decision she was about to make would have a huge impact on both parties, especially their children. However, she felt that this was the right choice."I've gone through a lot without you," Amanda said in a trembling voice, "to be honest, I use
The morning sunlight began to stream through the twins' bedroom window. They opened their eyes slowly, still feeling sleepy. It was a bright and fresh morning, giving me new hope to start a fun day at school. Alan and Alana got ready quickly. They had to leave on time so as not to be late.Alan and Alana walked out of the room. They saw Henry fast asleep on the sofa when they entered the living room."Why does Uncle Henry sleep here?" Alan said quietly so that his voice wouldn't wake Henry.Alana looked at Henry with concern. She wanted to ensure Henry was awake, but they couldn't be late for school. After thinking for a moment, Alana proposed an idea."How about we try to wake Uncle gently? Maybe he will wake up if we call softly in his ear," suggested Alana.Alan agreed with the idea. He crouched beside Henry and carefully called his name in a soft voice. "Uncle, wake up. We have to go to school."However, Henry was still asleep. No reaction at all. Alan and Alana were starting to
Alan and Alana stared at each other, tension visible on their faces. They were still sitting even though their car had stopped in front of the school."Why do we have to call Uncle Henry father?" Alan asked.Alana just kept quiet. It is not the first time she has to call Father. However, this time, William, not Henry himself, asked for it.William, the person closest to them since childhood, got out of the car and opened the car door for Alan and Alana. "Come out. We'll talk about it later, after school."Alan got out of the car and then looked at William. "Uncle, I respect your relationship with Uncle Henry, but I can't force myself to call him father. I have only one father. Uncle Henry can never replace Uncle William position in my heart."Alana added firmly, "Just like Alan, I also can't call him father. For me, there is only one father, and no one can take his place. Good uncle is our real father."William took a deep breath, trying to understand their feelings. He had known Alan
"If you don't like it, don't eat it!" Amanda saw that there was still a lot of food on Henry's plate when she returned to the dining table."I don't dislike it, but I'm enjoying your cooking. After five years of us being apart, this is the first time I've eaten your cooking again." Henry looked at his ex-wife with a mouth full of food."What did I say," Bella muttered while holding back a smile, seeing Henry, who looked like a child his mother had scolded for not finishing his food.Bella thinks that Amanda still loves her ex-husband, but her ex's cruel treatment makes the woman look rude. However, Amanda was still kind and caring towards Henry despite this hatred."Not five years, but soon it will be seven years since we were apart!" Amanda confirmed. "Our child has entered elementary school; now they are six years old," Amanda spoke so harshly that it shocked Bella.Bella had never seen Amanda speak harshly like that when she was with William. 'That wound must have left a deep impre
Alan and Alana looked at Amanda with looks full of confusion. They didn't know how to respond to that unexpected statement."Alan, Lana, why are you silent?" Amanda asked, "You heard what Mom was talking about, right?""I hope this is just a dream," said Alana quietly, looking down."I know this may be difficult to understand and surprising to you, but I think you have the right to know who your biological father is."Alana was heard sobbing while Alan remained silent with a confused expression.William put her arms around Alan and Alana's shoulders and kissed them on their heads. "Why are you guys silent? Say hello to your father!" William ordered.Alan and Alana turned to William, then looked at their mother. "Is he our father?" Alana asked, pointing to the man sitting in front of her.Smiling bitterly, Amanda answered, "Yes. He is your biological father."Alan was still confused, but he tried to understand. "Uncle Henry is my and Alana's father?" Alan reiterated once again. He hope
"Yes, I just want to live with my mother and good uncle," answered Alan, "even though Uncle Henry's house is nicer, I'm more comfortable here with my family."Henry felt hurt when he heard his son's statement that he preferred to live with William rather than himself, but he thought it was natural because William had always been there for Alan and Alana since the beginning.Alan and Alana finally accept that Henry is their biological father. Even though they already knew the truth, they did not want to stay with Henry.Alan and Alana looked at Henry, full of doubt and confusion. In front of them, Henry, a man who had just been discovered to be their biological father, was also looking at them. The tension in silence between the son and father was very palpable."Father understands how difficult it is to accept this reality," said Henry softly, trying to break the silence that filled the room."I don't know what to feel now," Alana said tremblingly. "This all feels so strange."Henry t
After going through a pretty complicated process, William finally brought Baron home. He stepped slowly beside Baron towards the hospital exit. His heart was pounding when he was about to take Baron, his best friend, who had just recovered from a severe accident, home. He was worried that Baron had not fully recovered."After we reach the capital, I will take you back to the hospital." William turned to Baron as he continued walking towards his car."I've recovered, Willy," said the Baron, "in fact, I'm allowed to go home tomorrow, but you're the only one who's impatient and wants to take me home today by force.""I can't possibly leave you here. Bella doesn't know anyone here besides us. Besides, she's heavily pregnant.""God has been very good to me. Still allow me to gather with you and welcome my second child."William patted Baron's shoulder lightly. "You are a good person, God will definitely give you protection.""William, I am very grateful for everything you have done," said
William walked quickly towards Henry's study after hearing a commotion in the corridor. The angry voice that filled the air made him worry about the situation. When he arrived at the door, he saw Mrs Vena, his boss's mother, standing with her face bright red and full of anger. "What's going on here?" William thought while trying to understand the situation. The woman's presence in Henry's office with a face full of anger shows how serious this problem is. William entered the room carefully, trying not to escalate the already tense situation. He was worried that his boss would be furious after finding out about his mother's rottenness. "I told you, don't ever have contact with Amanda again! She's not a good woman, I don't want her to be part of our family anymore." Henry sat behind the table, looking shocked and not knowing what to do. It was clear that his ex-wife's presence had triggered the mother's anger. However, he was surprised that his mother suddenly came and was angry, eve
Mrs. Vena even knelt in front of Amanda. She spoke in a hoarse voice while looking down. "Amanda, please forgive me. I regret planning to take Alan and Alana from you. I realize your relationship with my grandson is important, which I never felt before."Amanda was stunned to hear Mrs. Vena's apology. She never expected that Mrs. Vena would kneel before her and apologize so sincerely. Her heart was filled with emotion and began to soften."I have seen your influence on my grandchild's life. I realize my mistake and promise not to separate you from them. You are a great mother, and my grandchildren need you. I ask that you forgive me."Amanda felt moved and wanted to give Mrs. Vena a second chance. She could see the genuine change in the woman's heart."Mrs. Vena," said Amanda understandingly, "I appreciate your apology. I also hope that we can improve our relationship in the future. Wake up!"Amanda stood up and helped her ex-in-law to get up. Even though the woman had done a lot of w
In a quiet living room, Henry sat on the sofa with a tense face and sharp eyes, looking at his mother. Beside him was Amanda."Why don't you bring my grandchildren?" Mrs. Vena asked, pretending to be excellent."Mom, we decided to get married again." Amanda got straight to the point. "I hope Mother will approve of us."Mrs. Vena was silent; she couldn't say a word. Even though Amanda had given birth to two grandchildren for her, she didn't want Amanda to be her second daughter-in-law because she didn't want to have a poor daughter-in-law.Henry smiled sarcastically, seeing his mother just silent and without saying a single word. "As I thought, Mom was nice to Amanda and just wanted to make her miserable."Amanda held Henry's hand so that the man wouldn't continue what he was saying."Amanda, we were fooled by this old woman. Do you still believe her?" Henry started the conversation in a firm tone."I'm sure Mom has changed, especially now that we have Alan and Alana. I'm sure your gue
Henry stood in front of Amanda. Expectant gazes turned to Amanda, who was sitting in front of him. Silence immediately enveloped the room; only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall could be heard in the ears of the four of them."It's been a long time since we lived apart, Amanda," Henry said tremblingly, trying to suppress his nervousness. "We've been through a lot together, and honestly, I can't live without you."Even though he felt nervous, Henry dared to propose to his ex-wife again in front of his assistant and secretary."We have been apart for so long, but my love for you has never changed. Even though you once hurt me because of a misunderstanding, the love in my heart never faded."Amanda looked at Henry with a face full of doubt. Her mind and heart were racing. Remembering the reasons behind their decision to separate made Amanda's heart cut like a dagger. She knows that mistakes and misunderstandings have ruined the love they once had."But..." Amanda looked down; sh
William arrived at his house after Mr. Anderson came home. He ran into Henry, who was going home."Boss, when are you arriving?" William asked."Where are you from?" Instead of answering, Henry asked his assistant again."I ...." William stopped speaking when the cell phone in his pocket rang non-stop. William reached into it and looked at his cell phone screen. "Mr Jo? Looks like there is important information," said William to Henry.Willy answered a call from the butler at the Boss's house."Sir, there is important information about the old lady," said Mr Jo from behind the telephone."We'll go there now. Let's talk at home.""Are you back, sir?""Boss and I are home," answered William, "we'll be there soon."William hung up the phone immediately. "Boss, I'll change clothes first. We're going to your house now.""Your clothes are wet; where have you been?" Henry was surprised to see that his assistant's clothes were wet."It was raining there. I got caught in the rain when I got ba
"Thank you, darling." William kissed Tiara's hand many times."Darling?" Tiara was surprised. "We are not married yet.""We can start getting used to it now." William looked at Tiara with a smile. He didn't expect the final choice to fall on the boss's secretary. "I promise to treat you well."Tiara smiled while muttering to herself. 'Hopefully, my decision is not wrong.'Meanwhile, at William's house, Amanda and their children had just arrived home after returning from abroad."Mom, why don't good father come home with us?" Alana asked while leaning her body against the back of the chair."There are jobs that only a good father can do. So, he has to come back earlier than us." Henry tried to explain to his daughter even though he didn't know what important business it was, which made William so in a hurry to return."Good father has a lot of work; now, we are always accompanied by Henry's father. So it's not lonely anymore even though we rarely see good fathers." Alan began to feel c
"I'll get you some drinking water first; Boss must be thirsty." Tiara became increasingly nervous. "Please come in!"Tiara opened the door wide and rushed into the living room. William followed Tiara into her house."Please sit down, Boss! I'll get you a drink first."Tiara immediately went to the kitchen to get drinking water. Arriving in the kitchen, Tiara slumped and sat on the floor."Oh my God, what should I do?" Tiara held her chest while sitting cross-legged on the floor.A few minutes later, she woke up and stood up after calming down. Then, Tiara brought a glass of water for William."Please drink, Boss!"'She was in the kitchen for ten minutes but only brought me water. What was she doing in the kitchen all that time?' thought William.William took the drinking glass provided by Tiara. He drank all the water because he was also nervous."Do you want more water, Boss?" Tiara asked when William put the empty glass on the table."Yes, but it would be even better if it had taste,
Tiara sat in the living room, her right hand holding her cell phone and her left hand holding her chest. Tiara felt nervous, and her heart was pounding. She didn't know what to say.Her Boss was a man who was cold towards women. William couldn't joke with her like that, but Tiara was still confused. Did she hear wrong or what?"Tiara... did you hear what I said?" William confirmed that the telephone line was still connected."Yes, Boss.""Tiara, I have thought about this very seriously. I have known you long and am sure you are the right person to be my wife."Tiara felt her heart beat faster when she heard William's words. She couldn't think what she would say to her Boss.'It turns out I didn't hear wrong,' said Tiara to herself."Tiara, I need your opinion."William needs answers from Tiara. He couldn't continue talking about his plans while Tiara kept quiet."Sorry, Boss, but what do you mean by the right person?" Finally, Tiara dared to speak to William.William took a deep breat
After Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon went home, Amanda took the children into their room to rest. Meanwhile, William and Henry were still in the living room.Henry sat opposite William. His face was worried when he saw his mother suddenly being very kind to her former daughter-in-law, Amanda."William," Henry called, then exhaled roughly. "I'm still unsure about my mother," he said quietly.His assistant, William, frowned. "What do you mean, Boss?""William, you have to do an investigation about my mother," Henry said in a serious voice. "I felt there was something wrong with her attitude towards Amanda."William looked at Henry in surprise. "But, Boss, may I know the reason behind this request? Does Boss know that Mrs. Vena has evil plans for the Twins?"Henry took a deep breath before answering. "I'm sure she won't hurt Alan or Alana, but she's planning something evil for Amanda. I can't trust my mother because she hates Amanda so much."William nodded in understanding. "Yes, Boss. I wil
"Amanda, have the children met their grandmother?" William changed the subject. He didn't know what to answer at all because he didn't have any female friends."Not yet," answered Amanda, "we will meet here today. Maybe soon...." Amanda's words stopped when she heard the bell ring in William's apartment. "That's probably them.""I'll open the door first." William rushed to open the door, and sure enough, Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon came. "Please come in, sir, ma'am."William took a few steps back to give way to his boss's parents."William, please help me so that my two grandchildren don't hate me," said Mrs. Vena quietly. He was worried that Alan and Alana would be angry with her for trying to harm her two grandchildren.Amanda had allowed her ex-mother-in-law to meet Alan and Alana, but the woman was only ready to meet today. William must also assist because Amanda knows her husband and children will not defend her."Don't worry, Amanda never instilled hatred towards anyone in the hea
