2025-03-25 10:51:12“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

“No, Ma. I still remember. It was Mommy Widya.” Ah. Feby must not forget that her eldest son was very difficult to lie to. It was also his fault for introducing Widya at that time. So now he was struggling to answer the question.“She does work with Papa, dear. That's why they're close,” Feby finally said.“Friends?”Feby smiled wryly. She no longer knew how to hide the truth that was becoming difficult to cover up. The woman sighed heavily and shook her head weakly afterward.“Widya is just like Mama.” Feby thought hard to explain what she wanted to say later. This time she didn't want to dodge reality anymore. “Hmmm, this might be a bit complicated for a kid like Haikal. Do you still remember Dek Kevin? Mami Widya once told me that he's also Haikal's younger brother. Just like Kayla.”“Yes. So what?” Haikal's clear eyes demanded a deeper explanation.“He's also ... papa's son. Just like Haikal and Kayla. So -”“There are two wives? Is that so?” interrupted Haikal impati

If only Feby was wiser in managing her finances, maybe she could still survive to prepare herself. If she had savings from the beginning, it could be that now the situation can be controlled. If ... ah. Too many regrets haunted the poor woman. It was already too late. Time will not be able to come back again. So that only leaves deep regret in Feby's heart who is currently confused by herself. The sound of the horn quickly jerked Feby's reverie. A few seconds later she realized where she was. There was a traffic jam created because she was blocking the surrounding vehicles.“DO YOU STILL WANT TO LIVE?” Feby just nodded slowly without

“Why is my child's condition getting worse, Doc? Did you give him the wrong medicine, huh?” Feby was about to vent her emotions again. However, she couldn't because her mother had already gently gripped both of her shoulders.“I'm sorry. She's anxious so she talks carelessly,” said her mother to the two medical personnel in Kayla's treatment room.“We understand, ma'am. Right now the patient's condition is under observation for the next two hours. Then we will excuse ourselves.” The doctor who had just answered, while the nurse standing next to him only smiled wryly. Feeling furious with Feby's behavior just now,“You have to calm down first, Feb. Leave everything to God.”Feby shook her head weakly because she felt helpless. “But Kayla -”“Why again? She's been dealt with now,” her mother cut

There was no other way. Feby was again determined to pursue her problem-solving path. The mother of two exhaled roughly after storing her cell phone in her pants pocket.“Where are you going?”Feby smiled and replied, “I'm going to see Ares. Take care of the kids, Mom.” The answer just now made her mother gape while shaking her head in disbelief. As if what Feby said was just a hoax.“Feb, you-”“Why is that?” cut Feby while laughing. “Ares is my husband. Haikal and Kayla's father. So it's only natural that I find him. Where is the mistake?”“You realize who Ares is, huh?”Feby nodded her head. “That's exactly it, Mom. Ares must know that he can't run away from us. The kids are always asking about him.

“Mom is getting crazy. Never mind, To, just forcibly evict her!” Feby shook her head strongly. Her eyes glanced at Angga who had not reacted at all until this moment.“If you don't believe me, just ask him!” snapped Feby as her arm began to be pulled forcefully by one of the bodyguards there.“Sorry. I warned you last night to leave immediately. So don't blame us for being rude.” That was the answer Feby heard from Angga's mouth. It was disappointing.“You guys will regret it later. Let me go!” Feby still tried to defend herself. Unfortunately, the two bodyguards who were securing her were too strong. Making the poor woman unable to do anything else. Meanwhile, Ares was now staring at the pathetic sight of his betrothed from the bedroom. His lips were perfectly sealed without saying a word.“Why, honey? Do you miss your young wife, hmm?”Ares hurriedly straightened his back and then quickly turned his eyes to the source of the voice. “Honey?”

Feby's body froze after rereading that last sentence. An instant later she laughed tastelessly when she realized that Ares had indeed left her. Only then did she realize that Angga's words were not kidding at that time. Tears have dried up since a few hours ago. It was almost noon. Signaling that Feby cannot stay silent any longer. She immediately got up from her lying position and rushed to the bathroom. Back to thinking about a plan to survive after the false happiness that had been felt last night.“See Ares?” Feby only answered her mother's question with a glance. The mouth did not make a sound. Making the woman who had given birth to her dissatisfied.“That's what mom said, Feb. Your husband is not a random person.” Finally, the mother concluded so because she saw Feby's

“Tell Ares that the kids and I don't just need his money. We need him.”[You're still being stubborn, Feb. Do I have to repeat my explanation, huh? Mr. Ares is not coming."]Feby sucked in as much air as possible to neutralize the heat in her chest. Then she grabbed her hair slowly and said, “Okay, Ga. I guess it's useless talking to you because you'll never understand.” The conversation over the air was interrupted just like that. Feby nodded while closing her eyes. Start thinking silently about the plan that he will carry out in a moment. For more than half an hour Feby was focused on her gadget. Busy arranging meeting schedules with several people and making money transfer transactions with a fairly large amount.“Feb, do you realize what you're going to do?” asked her mother with an anxious face.Feby mumbled softly while flashing a faint smile. “It's already wet, Mom. So you might as well dive in, right? Ares should know that he's not the only one who

The Hidden Wife 71. ENDING
“Our longing means nothing compared to your happiness, Feby,” Zaki murmured sincerely.Feby looked at her youngest brother in surprise but also touched. “Zaki. Thank you. I wouldn't be able to get through all this without your support.”Sandi who sat next to Feby put her arm around his shoulder. “That's right. We've become a great team.”That night, under the star-studded sky, Feby felt a peace that she had never felt before. All the conflicts that had plagued her life were over. Bella had apologized, and they had reconciled. While Ares, her ex-husband had disappeared from their lives after being involved in a major corruption case, Feby felt strong enough to raise Haikal and Kayla without Ares' help. Now, there is only love and happiness in their home.
The Hidden Wife 70. BEAUTIFUL
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
The Hidden Wife 69. PEACEFUL
“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
The Hidden Wife 67. VIBRATION OF LOVE
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
The Hidden Wife 66. EXPLANATIONS
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.”
The Hidden Wife 64. DIFFICULT
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
