2025-04-12 10:27:31Feby 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

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

“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.”

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

“How is it?” The question was answered by Feby with a shake of her head. Then she gave a bitter smile while staring at her phone screen that had gone dark.“Ares might... still be in a meeting. So, he hasn’t been reachable all day,” Feby murmured after that.“Are you sure?” asked the woman in front of her now.“Maybe he’s busy with—”“Mom!” Feby cut her off quickly. The middle-aged woman stopped speaking, especially when she saw Feby’s sour face.“Well, I’ll remind you again, don’t expect too much,” she said.After that, the atmosphere went silent as Feby chose to retreat to her room, spilling all the restlessness she had kept inside all alone. The clock showed it was already eleven at night. This meant the man she had been waiting for had finally finished his busy schedule. Feby, who was still awake, quickly approached her bedside table.DING!![“Are you asleep, honey?”]Feby smiled as she read the message. Soon after, her phone rang.“Hello, Baby!” she exclaimed happily.“Where hav

“You told me to wake up, huh?? I’ve been patient for so long!!”Feby’s sobs grew louder. Her right hand, not holding the phone, clenched into a fist. Even her chest was rising and falling with each breath.“I’m sorry. We shouldn’t be arguing like this, Feb. Especially since you’re pregnant,” came the voice from the phone.“Mas, I’m not done talking,” Feby complained, unwilling to accept the situation.“Sayang, it’s already late. You should rest. Remember, our baby is inside there.”Feby’s pleas were in vain. The call ended abruptly, leaving her alone with the pain she had to bear again.The romantic drama playing on her phone screen made Feby cringe. She clicked her tongue as the actor on-screen proved his love for the woman he adored.Disgusting. That’s how she felt in her heart. Yet, deep down, she wished to be treated that way.Oh my God! How long would she continue daydreaming? It was impossible for the man she loved to act like that.“Marni took the day off this morning. Her chil

Feby gripped her drink tightly while gazing at the suffocating scene. How could she not feel jealous? The man sitting there was next to a beautiful woman. Could she even allow herself to feel jealous?"Stop staring if it's only going to hurt you," a voice interrupted her thoughts.Feby turned quickly toward the voice. She muttered softly and asked, "How long has Mas Ares been in this city?""You have no right to ask, Feb," the man said coldly. "Pak Ares will let you know when it's the right time."Feby clicked her tongue. "You're just his lackey, don't boss me around!""I know my place. I hope you realize it too, Feb. You’re just his mistress.""Shut your mouth, Angga! I'm his wife," Feby retorted, not accepting it. "Even though... the second wife."Angga smirked. "Oh really? You can only be called a second wife if the first wife knows. Meanwhile, you? Your status is kept secret. In other words, you’re just a kept woman.""You—"Feby’s words were cut off when Angga moved closer, block

"You're surprised, aren't you??""Where is Ares?"Feby immediately crossed her arms over her chest. She couldn’t believe that the person who arrived was that man."Why, huh?" Angga smirked, looking at Feby with disgust. "You want some affection? Want to play with me?""Don't be rude!!" Feby immediately widened her eyes.Angga growled and stepped forward, causing Feby to instinctively take a few steps back. "I wouldn't even touch something like you!""Shut up! What do you want here??"Angga didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled out a golden velvet box from his shirt pocket."This is from Pak Ares for you. A gift because you’re carrying a son," Angga said flatly.Feby shook her head weakly, disappointment starting to show on her beautiful face. "Where is Mas Ares?" Her voice was now soft."You’re still asking? Tch tch. Clearly, Pak Ares is enjoying the warmth with his wife. Don’t forget that tonight is their wedding day. I’m sure… you’ve kept that moment in your head, haven’t you? You also

The conversation between the women earlier still lingered in Feby's mind. Even when she returned home. No. Ares was not the type of man discussed by those socialites. Her husband was clearly different because he had proven himself by being involved in their marriage, even though it was just a religious one. This was what Feby was trying to instill in her mind now. Until the ringtone interrupted her thoughts in an instant. "Hello, Baby!" Feby greeted with a bright smile. Instantly, Ares' handsome face could hypnotize away her worries.["Sorry, Sweetheart. We won't meet again. Last night, my kids were begging for a bedtime story. I couldn't refuse, right?"] Feby nodded, trying to understand, even though she was still battling with her own heart. "I understand. Besides, meeting up is risky. But... next time, don't send Angga." ["Yeah, sorry. I was worried your mood would worsen since you're pregnant. That's why I had him deliver the necklace. Do you like it?"] "I like it," Feby replied q

“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

Feby stared at the monitor screen that displayed Kayla's weakening heart rate. While Ares, although his heart was filled with anger and confusion, he couldn't help but care. After all, Kayla was the child he had loved and raised since birth. His anxious gaze could not be drawn away from the ICU window, and feelings of guilt began to creep in. Had his accusations gone too far? Amidst the haunting tension, the door to the room opened and a serious-faced doctor entered. Something seemed different this time. It was as if there was something new to discover.“Mr. Ares, Ms. Feby...” the doctor began, taking a deep breath before continuing. “We've rechecked the DNA test data, and we found something unusual.”Feby turned her head weakly. “What does the doctor mean?”“I apologize in advance. The test results we first issued may not have been completely accurate,” the doctor replied, looking a little reluctant. “After doing a more in-depth check, we found that there

“Answer me, Feby, who have you slept with, huh?”Ares shouted angrily, shocking the whole room with his loud voice. He stood before Feby who was still sitting limply, her face pale as if the whole world was collapsing around her. Feby's body trembled slightly, trying to catch her breath after just waking up from her previous stupor. However, her ex-husband didn't give her time. The man's anger and confusion continued to hit her mercilessly.“Wh-what?” Feby stammered, feeling like she had just been struck by lightning. Her vision blurred, but Ares' angry face was visible before her.“Don't play dumb! Who have you been serving in bed, huh?” Ares snapped again.Feby stared at Ares with teary eyes, her heart oppressed by the accusations that kept raining down on her. “I... I don't know what you're talking about,” she said in a voice that almost drowned in tears.Ares was getting frustrated. He stepped for

“Yes. The patient is currently in need of intensive treatment. However, there is one thing you need to know, this is related to the results of the genetic tests we conducted as part of further diagnosis.”Feby, who had been sobbing in Sandi's arms, looked up slowly. “Genetic test? What does that mean, Doc?”The doctor looked at them one by one, then took a deep breath. “We detected something unusual. The tests show that... Kayla is not the biological child of Ares.”Feby was rooted to the spot. Her eyes widened, and her face paled. “What...?” her voice trembled.Ares immediately stepped forward, his face turning bright red. “What do you mean, Doc? How can Kayla not be my daughter?”The doctor tried to explain carefully. “The DNA test results show a mismatch between you, Mr. Ares, and Kayla. This is very clear in our results.”Feby felt like the earth was crumbling around her. Her hand gripped Sandi's arm tighter, looking for a grip. “How is that possible...?”Ares suddenly turned to s

Feby let out a long breath, leaning her back against the waiting room chair outside the hospital. Her gaze couldn't escape the ICU door where Kayla was being treated. However, even though they had arrived at the hospital, they had not been able to meet with her because Ares blocked their every attempt.Meanwhile, Sandi stood by the window, her back tense. She had tried to talk to the hospital several times, but it had all ended in vain. Feby could sense her husband's anxiety, and it made her even more uneasy.“How long do we have to wait like this, Uncle?” asked Feby, her voice full of frustration. “I can't just sit here while Kayla is inside. She needs me.”Sandi stared at her for a moment, then reached over and took her hand. “I know, Feb. But Ares has power here. We can't fight back directly, not without a plan.”It was at that moment that Widya appeared from the end of the corridor. The woman looked elegant even tho
