Emily shouted to Edwin, who was about to knock on Erick's door."Alright, you can wake him up. I'll make the drinks, then."Nadila stood up after patting Emily's thigh and headed to the kitchen at the far end of the house.Even though this house was simple, it was divided into two parts: the semi-public (common) and private areas. The semi-public area was in the front, including the terrace and living room. Guests could come and sit freely in these two rooms. The private area was located in the back, consisting of the dining room, family room, bedrooms, kitchen, and the backyard. Usually, only close family members could enter this area.Emily's house also had two guest rooms, known as "paseban," beautifully designed to accommodate visiting guests. Many of Emily's family guests came from East Java, as her mother's grandmother was from East Java. However, due to living in Depok for so long and being surrounded by the Betawi community, Emily's mother had adapted to the Betawi culture, ma

Emily's self-doubt continued to eat at her, making her wonder what had gone wrong in their marriage. She tried to open her heart and make Calvin fall in love with her, but her efforts had been in vain. Even though Emily was reluctant to engage with Calvin herself, deep down, she still felt insecure. She worried about what Calvin thought of her and her inability to stir any desire within him. Calvin slept with his body positioned diagonally, using an arm as a pillow and facing Emily, who had her back to him. Slowly, Calvin moved a pillow between them and shifted slightly to put more distance between himself and Emily. What had pushed Calvin to do this, he couldn't really say. All he knew was that he wanted to hold the woman he had repeatedly hurt. Calvin felt regret and the desire to earn Emily's forgiveness. Emily, sensing the movement behind her, closed her eyes. She bit her lower lip to suppress the pounding of her heart, which had started to race. Suddenly, Calvin's large hand en

"Of course, it wasn't enjoyable! It actually hurt," replied Emily, feigning discomfort. "Well, it was enjoyable last night. Very enjoyable," Emily said only in her own thoughts."In that case, we should practice more, Emily, so you won't be in pain again. It was your first time, after all," Calvin said with a smile. He only received a muffled response from Emily.As soon as Calvin's car stopped in front of Cempaka Putih Elementary School, Emily quickly reached for Calvin's hand to shake it. After a quick greeting, she hurriedly got out. However, Calvin quickly grabbed her wrist, making Emily turn back to look at him."What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Calvin peered into Emily's shining, initially angry eyes. A moment later, the spark turned into jest."Of course, you did. Because of you, I'm not a virgin anymore," Emily said, successfully making Calvin burst into laughter."You're something else, you know that," Calvin ruffled Emily's hair and let her get out of the car.Until

Once they arrived at their apartment unit, Emily immediately walked into her bedroom without paying much attention to Calvin, who continued to follow her. Emily tossed her bag and the plastic bag with her clothes on the bed with force. Calvin's patience was running thin, and he finally had enough. He reached for Emily's shoulders and held her, looking deeply into her pair of intense, angry black eyes. "Tell me what's going on," Calvin said softly but with emphasis. Emily gave a cynical smile as she removed Calvin's hands from her body. She grabbed the plastic bag she had thrown on the bed, pulling out the blue shirt Calvin had worn the day before. Emily frantically searched for the red lipstick mark she had found that morning. "In that case, you explain this!" Emily pointed out the red lipstick mark on Calvin's shirt. "And whose perfume is lingering on your clothes?" Calvin's body froze. He knew precisely who the lipstick mark and perfume belonged to. He looked at Emily with a mela

"Can you open the door? I'll clear the table," Emily said as Calvin was about to take over the table-clearing duty. "Uh-uh, put some clothes on, Calvin!" Emily reminded him when she saw Calvin walking towards the front door wearing only his boxer shorts. "Hehehe, I forgot I'm not wearing any clothes!" Calvin smiled awkwardly, showing his white teeth as he looked at Emily. Calvin hurried into his room to get a shirt. Calvin's body froze instantly when he saw who the guest was. Not because he didn't like it, but he wasn't prepared. "Mom?" Calvin stammered. "Weren't we supposed to come in?" Steve, who stood next to Amora, replied. Calvin quickly opened the door wide to welcome his parents. This was their first visit since Calvin and Emily's marriage. It wasn't that they didn't want to visit, but Calvin was the one who always made excuses for his parents not to come to his apartment. Calvin didn't want his parents to know about the unhealthy state of his marriage. "Why didn't Mom an
