Early in the morning, the scorching sun had not yet fully illuminated the still quiet hospital corridor. The young doctor quickly stepped into Xander's room, the main patient.
In the quiet hospital room, Xander lay on the white bed with a pale face. Every second felt so long for him, thinking about the increasingly fragile state of his household.
He did not want his son's divorce from Nayla.
That morning, the familiar footsteps of the young doctor broke the silence. With a friendly smile, he greeted Xander who was sitting on the bed, waiting for his arrival.
"Good morning, Mr. Xander," said the young doctor while examining Xander's medical record.
Xander looked at the doctor with a faint smile. "Good morning. I am very healthy, it's just that what's inside here is very full, isn't it?" Xander pointed his index finger to his forehead.
"Everyone has problems to
The assistant named Bob immediately left his house and drove to the hospital where Sefia was undergoing surgery.Outside, the atmosphere of the hospital that morning was still quiet. Bob walked quickly, searching for Zavier around the hospital area. He knew that persuading Zavier wouldn't be easy, especially if Zavier decided to stay there.It was impossible for him to contact Zavier with his phone and just tell him to meet Xander. Their young master didn't even work today just to accompany Sefia, this alone shows how important his ex-girlfriend's position is in the man's heart.Bob swallowed his saliva, wondering if Zavier would become furious if he delivered Xander's message.It didn't take long for the assistant to find Zavier. He saw Zavier's tense figure, standing in the hospital corridor with a deep, worried gaze.Zavier looked uneasy, biting his lip hard while staring at t
Xander shot Zavier a sharp glance, seeking an answer to his question. His eyes were filled with worry, showing that he was very concerned about this complicated situation.While Zavier was lost in his own thoughts. The man fell silent, his tongue felt numb."Do you know that Nayla has returned to Bogor alone?" Xander asked again, his voice slightly trembling with the emotion contained within.Zavier was taken aback by the question. He didn't know how to explain this complicated situation to Xander. His heart was filled with feelings of guilt."Is she back alone?""Forgive me, Dad.""I didn't know that Nayla had returned to Bogor," Zavier replied with a trembling voice. He felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities he had to face.Xander looked at Zavier with an expression full of disappointment. "You need to see Nayla immediately and talk to her about this. She should
Nayla responded to the call with a cold voice. "What do you want, Zavier?" she asked sharply, not hiding her displeasure.Zavier, though taken aback by Nayla's harsh tone, tried to maintain his composure. "Why did you leave again?" Haven't we already agreed on our plan to maintain Daddy's health condition?" he asked, trying to stay calm despite feeling pierced by Nayla's sarcasm.Nayla couldn't hold back her sarcasm. "You'd better focus on taking care of Sefia. After all, we're still going to get divorced," she said, her voice filled with disappointment."I think, Daddy's health is not more important than Sefia's health," she continued.Hearing that sarcasm, Zavier paused for a moment. "Nayla, I..." Zavier tried to explain, but Nayla cut him off immediately."No need for explanations, Zavier. Don't waste anyone's credit on the phone you're using to call me."
Zavier was immersed in the silence of the room. There was no one there. He began to feel the emptiness enveloping him, hollow without Nayla's presence beside him. His feelings were torn between the desire to end their argument and his inability to express his feelings clearly to Nayla.Zavier walked towards the living room, where he often saw Nayla sitting gracefully on the sofa, waiting for his arrival. The woman was always very diligent and had already finished her housework. However, this time, the chair was empty, and it only imagined the shadow of loneliness that tormented her heart.He sat on the sofa, trying to understand what he was really feeling. A sense of anxiety and emptiness overwhelmed her, making her long for dinner together even more, despite the atmosphere always being cold with little conversation. But Nayla was always there with a warm smile.As he looked around the silent house, Zavier felt increasin
Nayla and Michael were stunned to hear what the younger sibling said. The tone of expulsion towards Michael was very clear. This, of course, made Nayla feel embarrassed and reluctant. However, Nayla quickly changed the subject.Nayla nodded. "Sorry, Michael, you know, we all have to support each other. I'm sure you will succeed in this new task."They continued their conversation while enjoying the food prepared by Michael. Although Nayla tried to remain cheerful in front of him, the feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness continued to disturb her heart.After a while, Nayla found herself increasingly captivated by Michael's charm. She felt comfortable near the man, and little by little, her awkwardness began to fade.Meanwhile, in the bathroom, behind her tired face, Nadira felt a bit uncomfortable with Michael's presence. She felt that there was something unusual about this situation, but she wasn't sure what.Nadira stepped out of the bathroom and coldly stared at the two people
A simple reaction, yet it felt very embarrassing for Nayla. But she had to do something immediately to help her younger sibling."Found it!" she exclaimed joyfully, then pressed the unlock button.Beep beep!The left and right lights on the luxurious black car blinked, indicating that the car's 'autolock' had been released, and Nayla immediately opened the car door.After Nadira was carefully placed in the back seat of the car, Michael quickly drove towards the hospital. Nayla sat in the back, resting Nadira's head on her lap.During the tense journey to the hospital, Nadira closed her eyes, trying to overcome the nausea and weakness that overwhelmed her.Michael focused on the road, trying to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. Occasionally, he glanced at the two women with a tense expression.He doesn't know what feeling is over
Michael nodded in understanding. "I will stay here, Zavier," he said humbly.Unexpectedly, Zavier grabbed Nayla's hand to follow him."Uh ... "Nayla was surprised when Zavier firmly pulled her hand. She awkwardly broke free from Michael's confused gaze and followed Zavier with heavy steps, feeling bewildered by this sudden turn of events."Zav, I have to wait for Nadira, where are we going?"asked Nayla, trying to find out what Zavier wanted to say.Zavier only lifted the corner of his mouth, without a word. His steps hurriedly led him out of the crowded hospital corridor, leaving Michael and the crowd in the waiting room.Nayla tried to catch up with Zavier, seeking to understand the reason behind his sudden actions. The man gripped her hand tightly."Zavier, wait a moment, what's wrong?" M-my hand hurts being pulled like this!"&
"Mr. Zavier, Mrs. Nayla, welcome back," Head Maid Martha greeted respectfully, a middle-aged woman introducing herself as the head maid, bowing slightly, followed by the maids behind her.Nayla fell silent, her eyes widening in confusion. "What is all this?" she murmured softly, more to herself than to Zavier.Zavier nodded with a smile, trying to calm Nayla. "This is a little surprise for you.""I want to change your mood a little after your long day of running away," he explained, his voice warm yet still sounding a bit cold."Didn't I just tell you that I would give you something you've never had before?"Nayla remained silent, trying to process everything that was happening. She never imagined that Zavier would do something like this, especially after all the tension they had experienced lately.But amidst the surprise, a glimmer of hope emerged in her heart, remembering that Zavier still cared for her. Will this atmosphere mend her heart and once again shower her with bubbles of
They both entered the house, accompanied by the sound of rain pattering outside. Although the atmosphere inside the house felt tense and full of uncertainty, at least they felt safe from the storm raging outside.Nayla felt touched by Zavier's protective gesture, but their tranquility was soon disrupted when Zavier's phone rang loudly. They had just entered the house, but an unexpected call from Sefia made the atmosphere tense.Zavier pressed the green button to answer the call."Sefia?" "What happened?" Zavier asked, his voice slightly trembling with the panic that was starting to set in. His hands looked like they were shaking as he held his phone tightly.Nayla also heard bad news over the phone, and her face looked full of worry. "Is something happening to your father?" she asked, trying to catch the conversation. Seeing the gestures shown by Zavier, Nayla guessed that something bad was happening at that moment.Sefia gave a
Hearing all the events before him, Xander clutched his chest, which was starting to ache.The man stared intently at Zavier, hoping the wise son would respond to what was his responsibility.Zavier, who was still trying to find the words to respond to Nayla's question, was silenced by Sefia's confession.His eyes shifted between Nayla and Sefia, trying to understand the implications of what Sefia had just revealed.He felt his heart pounding, like a heavy burden pushing him into a difficult decision. A part of him wanted to reject Sefia's confession, to affirm his love for Nayla. But the other part, the deepest one, felt confused and torn between two conflicting feelings.Meanwhile, Sefia still stood there with a face full of satisfaction. Smiling with triumph.She felt pleased to have positioned herself as the winner in this battle, revealing the truth that she believed would benefit herself. However, beh
They both walked towards the front door of the house with quick steps, but Zavier maintained his cold demeanor. His sharp gaze reflected his rising anger, and Sefia felt increasingly anxious seeing his facial expression. As soon as they arrived in front of the house door, Zavier knocked on the door hard, letting his anger explode in a way that was unusual for him.He felt he could no longer hold back all his emotions, and when the door opened, he was ready to face whatever awaited him inside the house.Zavier entered the house after Kayla opened the door for him, his steps hurried and his expression still filled with smoldering anger. His cold gaze reflected the tension within him, and his steps were firm as he approached Nayla.Nayla, standing in the middle of the living room with mixed feelings, looked at Zavier with a racing heart. When Zavier approached her, his hand grabbed hers tightly, making Nayla flinch."What do you mean?" Zavier asked in a sharp and demanding tone. His eye
Nayla and Xander entered the house, Kayla stayed beside them, watching their steps with a dark heart. She was sure that Nayla's arrival would definitely cause trouble for their family.Without hesitation, Kayla took her phone and immediately opened the reply message from Sefia. She knew she had to inform Sefia about what was happening inside the house."Hey, why aren't you replying?" Kayla typed many messages."The situation here is getting more complicated," Kayla wrote quickly."Nayla is here, and she wants to talk to Xander." We need to act quickly to prevent her from disrupting our plans.It didn't take long for Sefia to respond to Kayla's message. The numerous messages made her phone ring continuously.Sefia frowned as she read the messages."What should I do?" she wrote quickly, the worry clearly visible in her words.Kayla pondered for a moment before replying. "Come here with Zavier," she wrote.
With trembling steps, Nayla got off the bus and walked towards the gate of the Abraham family's house. She knocked on the iron gate hesitantly, her heart pounding in fear.No words could ease her pain, no answers could she find for why all this happened.With trembling steps, Nayla got off the bus and walked towards the gate of the Abraham family's house. She knocked on the iron gate hesitantly, her heart pounding in fear.A gatekeeper opened a small window and looked at Nayla, "Who are you and who are you looking for?"Nayla swallowed her bitter saliva, she was a Young Mistress who was never recognized by anyone in the Abraham family except her mother-in-law because Zavier had never taken her there at all.Nayla, cautiously, asked the doorman for permission to meet Xander. She spoke in a soft voice, hoping to convince the doorman to give her a chance."Excuse me, I am Nayla, the daughter-in-law of the Abr
Zavier was indeed unconsciously thinking about Nayla. But Zavier quickly brushed that thought out of his mind. He knew that comparing Sefia and Nayla was unfair, considering the two women had different characters and personalities.Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Sefia's presence here, in these difficult times, provides him with a bit of relief.Zavier turned his gaze away from Sefia for a moment, letting his mind drift far back into the past. He remembered the sweet moments he shared with Nayla, even though sometimes they were just small moments that didn't feel special.He smiled slightly at the thought of Nayla entering the room with a disheveled face because she had just finished cleaning the house as he had instructed. Then when the woman was covered in soap suds from washing the car. Zavier did it on purpose.In his heart, Zavier hoped that he could find a balance between his professional responsibilities and personal
Zavier's assistant, who had previously been silently observing the situation, immediately obeyed Sefia's command with hurried steps. He immediately left the room to carry out the order, leaving Zavier and Sefia in tense silence.Meanwhile, Sefia continued to watch Zavier with deep attention. Although Zavier tried to deny it, Sefia could see through his facade. He knew that Zavier's health could not be ignored, especially during such a tense and intense meeting. "Please, don't let your ego get in the way of making the right decision," Sefia said in a soft yet firm voice."Your health is more important than this meeting."Zavier fell silent for a moment, swayed by Sefia's wise words. Although there was reluctance in his heart, he knew that Sefia was right.He must prioritize his health, especially in times when conditions are not good like this.With hesitant steps, Zavier finally nodded in agreement. "Alright," he finally said in a weak voice."I will follow your advice."When Zavier'
He tried to suppress the discomfort, but kept feeling that something was off. Still, Zavier closed his eyes tightly, focusing on his business affairs, while trying to push away thoughts about his deteriorating health.However, the longer the meetings went on, the harder it became for him to ignore the symptoms that troubled him. Every word spoken, every decision made, felt like it was hindered by his increasingly weakening condition.But Zavier persevered, determined to successfully complete the meeting despite facing this unexpected challenge. Seeing his master's face growing paler, Zavier's assistant finally mustered the courage to ask with a worried voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Zavier, are you feeling alright?""You look a bit pale." Zavier, who was busy reviewing several documents at the conference table, was slightly taken aback by the question. He looked at his assistant with a sharp gaze, trying to hide the discomfort that was worsening within him."It's okay," Zavier replied with a
Zavier's words left Nayla speechless in astonishment. Her heart raced, unable to believe what had just happened. She watched Zavier suddenly change, from a cold and distant man to a husband full of determination.With a heavy heart, Nayla nodded, trying to adjust to this unexpected situation. She felt a deep sense of relief at the realization that Zavier still chose to be by her side.Zavier opened the door and halted his steps without turning around, then spoke with a steady voice, "Michael?" He will be in trouble if he dares to approach you again!"Those words slipped from Zavier's lips with a sharp tone, making Nayla tremble even more.Bam!The door was slammed shut by Zavier.In the silence that enveloped the room, Nayla sat heavily on the bed, letting everything that had just happened sink into her turbulent mind.She didn't know what would happen next, but she promised herself to stay strong in the face of whatever was to come.When Nayla was trying to process everything that had
