              Since ending the call from his first wife, Ares' face always looked happy. Even this morning he had joined in the kitchen with Feby to prepare breakfast together.

“Looks like some good news?”

              Feby deliberately provoked the conversation because she wanted to know what her husband was currently feeling. However, she had to swallow her disappointment as he seemed reluctant to share.

“I'm happy to be able to spend time with all my family, darling,” Ares muttered as a reasonable-sounding response. 

              That was fine. If Ares had behaved like that, then Feby no longer dared to pry. She knew enough that her husband didn't want her business interfered with.

    No wonder Ares was so happy at that time. It turned out that he got the news that he would have a son from Widya.How heartless. Ares even let Feby and her two children wait without certainty. It turns out that this is the story. Feby never expected Ares' first wife to be pregnant again. She chuckled. Laughing at herself because she had felt proud of being the only woman who could realize her husband's wishes. How sad is that? So all this time Ares was busy welcoming the birth of his son? Again. Feby realized her fate that seemed to be played by the Almighty. Feby growled. If only Ares was in front of her eyes right now, she would not hesitate t

    “ANSWER! DON'T JUST DO NOTHING!” Feby continued to attack Ares' chest relentlessly. Receiving no resistance from her husband, she slumped to the floor. She was again crying over the circumstances that made her angry today. Until half an hour later, a hand reached out and gently rubbed her head. Ares had been observing the behavior of his second wife who was raging. Still with his mouth locked, Ares then took Feby into his arms. Knowing that now what the woman needed was a hug.“Why did you think that I would throw you away, hmm?” Ares murmured after being convinced that his wife could be talked to. His hand strode the top of Feby's head in a slow motion, while the other arm gently brushed the clear

  • The Hidden Wife   27. WHO?

    Feby smiled bitterly listening to the rant. How could she be angry? Moreover, the name that Ares cursed was his own wife. However, the little heart still couldn't lie if jealousy arose as well.“Baby?”“ I love you very much. I'm sorry,” Ares joked again. Before Ares could further express his innermost thoughts, Feby quickly approached her husband. Giving him a tight hug to calm him down.“I love you too, Baby,” Feby whispered the sentence just now right in Ares' ear. I don't know. Whether Ares recognized her as Widya or Feby. He didn't care. The sun was already shining through the window. However, both Feby and Ares were still curled up under the blanket. The two of them g

    “Kevin is your brother too, son. You're brothers with a father.” Feby really wanted to say that sentence. However, she did not dare because she had not yet received approval from Ares. Don't let her be careless which will lead to her husband's anger.“What did you say earlier?” asked Feby who pretended not to hear.“Kevin, Ma. Who?” Again. Haikal was still repeating the same question. While Feby was turning her head to answer this difficult thing.“Hmmm... Kevin huh?” Feby grimaced and squatted down to align her height with Haikal. “I don't know either, sweetie. Why don't you ask it later?”“If less means ... already know, but only a little. Right, Ma?” demanded Haikal who was still desperate for an answer.&

    “What should I answer, baby? Haikal keeps asking me about his father.”[“You give him some understanding. Tell him that I'm busy working or something. Never mind, Feb. Is this the only problem you're complaining to me about?"]Feby clucked in annoyance. “Do you think this is trivial? Haikal is no longer a baby. He is now four years old. Soon he will enter kindergarten. Just so you know. His mind is bigger than any other child his age. I'm clearly overwhelmed. How long do I have to cover up what happened?”[We'll talk later. I'm busy. Kevin will be in therapy soon."]“Kevin again Kevin again!!!” snapped an angry Feby. “How long will you keep caring about that sick kid? Here you have a child as smart as Haikal, baby. Don't forget that!”[“What did you say? You already dare to call my son, huh??”] Ares became angry. Too late. Regretting was useless. Feby, who was easily angered, had already let out her curse. The woman grabbed her hair because she didn't know what else to d

    It was only natural that Ares was more attached to Widya. After all, the elegant woman has been accompanying him for a long time. So Feby was very wrong to be jealous, right?“Sorry, Feb. I didn't mean to -”“It's okay, Widya. I'm self-aware,” Feby's grin cut off the sentence just now. “You do deserve more attention from Ares.” Widya responded with a smile. She then sighed briefly and looked deeply into Feby's eyes.“You asked me how I felt back then, didn't you?” she asked, to which Feby nodded. “It would be a lie if I wasn't jealous and angry, Feb. I really wanted to destroy you guys.”Instantly Feby was shocked to hear this confession. Her face paled. “Widya?”“Yes, Feb. If I just follow my ego, maybe that

    “Don't worry, baby. I'm sure that the kids are starting to understand how their papa has limited time.” Feby smiled confidently. Then she leaned her head on Ares' chest. There was silence for a moment until the handsome man who had been her husband for five years sat down and started picking up their clothes that were scattered on the floor.“It's different this time, Feb,” Ares muttered after both of them had put their clothes back on. “There will be a lot of unexpected parties keeping a close eye on my movements. So... we won't be able to meet until the elections are over.”“That long? The election is still a long time away, right?” asked Feby, to which her husband quickly replied with a brief nod.“I don't want our relationship to be detected by the media. Starting from the nomination period, and campaigning until the ele

    “Papa is still busy?” Again. I don't know how many times the question was answered with a nod of the head. Feby often said yes with her soft voice.“Be patient, dear. Pray for Papa to win so that in two months we can meet,” said Feby with eyes that began to sparkle.“Win? What kind of competition, Mom? Eating crackers?” asked Haikal innocently. “Sack race?”Feby chuckled and shook her head quickly. “No, no. It's not a race at the seventeen event, but ... the race to be the coolest person.”“Haikal doesn't understand, Mom.”“Haikal will understand when he's older. The important thing is to just help pray, dear.” In the end, Feby's eldest son nodded. Then immediately raised his hands while agreeing

    Three months later... Feby stood in front of the mirror, wearing a simple yet elegant dress. The sparkling dress reflected the soft light from the window, giving the impression that today was a special day. Although today was not a big day for her, Feby still felt a deep sense of happiness. Rania's marriage stepdaughter, who was like her own biological daughter-had made all the tension that used to surround them turn into tranquility.“Before, it seemed like all the problems were endless,” Feby murmured with a small smile to herself. The dress was perfect, and everything was ready for today's celebration.Feby gasped when she heard footsteps approaching from behind. It was Sandi, her husband. “Are you ready, darling?” she asked softly, standing in the doorway.Feby turned and smiled, looking at Sandi who looked dashing in her suit. “Ready, but I'm

    “SURPRISE!!!”Feby was stunned. In front of her stood Sukma and Zaki, younger siblings whom she had not seen for a long time. Sukma, who is now busy with her work as a civil worker, and Zaki, the last time she heard back from overseas, seemed to be carrying a pile of gifts in their hands. However, what made Feby even more surprised was the two little boys who ran up to him with joyful laughter. Who else if not Haikal and Kayla, her children who have been living with Ares, her ex-husband?“Mama!” squealed Haikal. Their laughter echoed, and instantly Feby's heart melted along with the clear water that pooled in her eyes.Feby smiled fondly, her eyes beginning to heat up with unstoppable tears. “You guys... are you all here?”Sukma nodded, patting her sister's shoulder. “Of course, Sis. It's your birthday today. We won't miss the chance to surprise you.”Zaki smiled mischievously, handing Sukma a bouquet

    “Never mind, Ran. Don't listen to your father. He's nonsense,” Feby said quickly. Rania, who had been grumbling, immediately laughed. Especially after seeing her stepmother's red face. She also understood the meaning of her father's words.“Yes, yes. Yes already!” Rania handed over the first aid kit in her hand. “Ma'am, hmm I mean Ms. Feby, uh mama huh? Or -”“Just call me as usual, Ran,” Feby cut in quickly. Her hand gently rubbed Rania's shoulder with affection. “You only have one mother in this world and I won't be able to replace her. So even though I'm your father's wife, but we can still be friends, right?”“Feby, why is that?” protested Sandi who objected.Feby laughed and said, “Is my husband afraid of looking old?”“Honey, ye

    Feby swallowed nervously. The night air felt increasingly stifling, despite the cool breeze against her skin. Sandi pulled her closer until their faces were only inches apart.Now Feby's eyes fluttered, unsure of what would happen next. She could feel her husband's warm breath brushing her cheek.“Why call me that, hmm?” whispered Sandi, her eyes sharp yet gentle. “I'm your husband, not 'Om'.”Feby tried to avert her eyes, but couldn't. Their eyes were locked, and she knew Sandi was waiting for her. Waiting for something more than words. Feelings were mixed, between awkwardness, hesitation, and the desire to surrender to this moment.Gently, Sandi rubbed Feby's cheek with her thumb. The touch just now made Feby's heart race, so loud it could be heard. Slowly, Sandi lowered her face even closer, her lips almost touching Feby's lips which were still closed

    Rania disconnected the call as soon as she saw someone walking towards her. The girl then chuckled.It was Feby who looked at her with soft eyes. “Rania, I know you're angry. You're disappointed. You have the right to feel that way. But please, give me a chance to talk.”Rania stood still for a moment, staring at Feby with sharp eyes. “Why did you have to marry my father? You know I love you very much, but why did you hide this from me?”Feby swallowed. She knew this would not be an easy conversation. “Rania, I know this is very hard for you. And I... I'm sorry if I made you feel betrayed. Believe in me, I never intended to hurt your feelings. Your father and I... never wanted to hurt you.”Rania averted her eyes, kicking a pebble on the ground with the toe of her shoe. “I never told you. All of this was sudden. I thought we would be a

    “Rania, listen to me first,” Sandi said in a trembling voice, trying to dampen the emotion that radiated from her daughter's face.However, Rania only stared at her father with a gaze full of anger and deep disappointment.“Evil!” Rania replied in an explosive tone. Her tears began to flow, but there was no sign of them stopping. “You're all lying! You said we could be a family again, but you married someone else behind my back! The person I've always considered a friend!”Feby took a step back, her heart pierced every time she heard Rania's words. She wanted to explain, but her throat felt clogged. Any words were unlikely to be enough to ease Rania's current anger.“Rania, it's not what you think,” Sandi tried to explain, though she knew it wouldn't be easy. “Your mother and father have been separated for a long time, and I remarried because I loved Feby. But that never changed my love for you.”

    Sandi was silent for a long time staring at her cell phone screen. The call from her ex-wife continued to ring as if demanding an answer. The atmosphere between Sandi and Feby was getting tense, and Feby could feel something was different this time. She held her breath, waiting to see what Sandi would do next.“Pick up.” Feby's voice was low, almost a whisper. Her eyes stared at the cell phone with unconcealed fear. If Sandi answered the call, what would it mean for their relationship?Sandi hesitated. She squeezed her cell phone with increasingly trembling hands. “I...” her voice sounded hesitant, staring at the screen for a moment before she finally made a quick decision. With one decisive movement, Sandi pressed the “decline” button and turned off her phone.Feby breathed a sigh of relief, although her heart was still not completely at ease. &ldq

    Feby still stood transfixed, tears streaming down her cheeks. Haikal's blank stare hit her heart harder than anything. In front of her, the son looked terrified, reluctant to come closer. As if he was a ghost from the past that was no longer wanted.“Ares...” Feby mumbled, her voice barely audible, held back by the tightness in her chest. “Talk to our son now. Fix this.”Ares swallowed, then squatted in front of Haikal, holding his son's small shoulders very carefully. “Haikal, listen, I was wrong,” he said, his voice soft but firm. “Mama never left forever. Mama didn't leave you. Everything I said was wrong, I lied.”Haikal frowned, his gaze shifting from Ares to Feby, confused. “But... you said...”“No, I was wrong,” Ares cut in quickly, his voice starting to tremble. “I was just afraid you'd get hu

    “Haikal!” Feby shouted with emotion. Something in her wished that at that moment she could hug her son tightly, hoping to wash away all the misunderstandings with one hug.Haikal, who was running happily with a boy earlier, suddenly stopped. The boy's gaze locked on Feby. His little black eyes rounded, but not because he was happy. Instead, there was fear that could not be hidden on his little face.“Haikal, is that mom?” asked his playmate again who immediately turned to Feby with a curious smile.Haikal did not answer. His small body trembled, backing away slowly as if he was about to move away. Meanwhile, Feby walked closer, tears already pooling in her eyes.“Honey...” Feby whispered in a trembling voice. “Mama is here. I miss you, son.”However, when he was about to get closer, Haikal retreated further, his face looking pale. “Mama don't come again!” he shouted suddenly. “She's
