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

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

“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

“What does he want?” Feby was clearly upset. Her precious time with Ares was interrupted by a call from the man's first wife. Only then did she realize who she was. Meanwhile, Ares was now poking at his cell phone while glancing at Feby who was starting to frown. Inevitably he rubbed his second wife's head gently. As if giving a code that things were still under control.[“Yes, honey. I know.”][“...”][“Yes. That's it. I am busy right now.”] The call for about two minutes ended. Ares breathed a sigh of relief, while Feby still looked angry.“Angry huh, hmm?” Ares gently tweaked the tip of Feby's chin. The man then landed his lips in the same place.Feby, who did not want to spoil the atmosphere, shook her head and then changed her face to cheerful again. “I miss you. Do you know, baby?”“Yes, sweetheart. I'm here now.” There were many more sweet words spoken by Ares. Making Feby lulled until she ended up continuing their hot gam

There was no point in dwelling in sadness. Feby had to realize that this was the life path she had chosen. Her marriage to Ares will soon bring forth the fruit of their love. So it's better to focus on the goal ahead. That's what she was thinking about now.“Still thinking about our conversation earlier?” asked Ares who was right beside her.Feby shook her head with a sweet smile. “No, baby. I just miss you. Oh yes. What time do you have to leave here tomorrow?”“After feeding you breakfast of course.” Ares briefly kissed Feby's open shoulder then rested his head there. A gentle treatment that was certainly able to reduce the sadness in his wife's heart.“There are still about nine hours left until breakfast. Can you accompany me to watch?” asked Feby then. The handsome man's quick nod made Feby excited again. He also rushed to grab the TV remote and then chose a channel that was considered interesting. It was not what they

“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.”
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

“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
