“What do you mean?”
Afgan begins to tell Achmed about Bayu and Melinda having an affair. However, Achmed didn't fully believe him until Afgan showed him the evidence from the recording.
“Let's do a DNA test!”
“Okay! Do as you wish, Dad!” Afgan refocused on his work and didn't respond to his father's words anymore.
The DNA test was conducted, but Melinda cunningly managed to trick the test employee by taking a sample of Afgan's own hair left in her comb.
A few days passed, and the DNA test results finally came out. Achmed held the results tremblingly, seeking reassurance over the doubts that crept into his mind. Afgan, who had kept his distance from the situation from the start, finally agreed to speak.
“Dad, what's the result?” Afgan asked, his face determined.
Achmed stared at the DNA test results, then nodded with disappointment. “This... this is impossible. The results show that
“Happy birthday, dear,” said Afgan as he kissed his wife's forehead affectionately. Adelia looked beautiful in her pink dress, radiating a charm that captivated everyone present. Her charming smile made the atmosphere even warmer and happier.The beautiful garden served as the backdrop for the event, adorned with attractive decorations filled with colorful balloons. The tables were laden with delicious local dishes.Afgan had deliberately prepared all the traditional Indonesian dishes to reflect the richness of the culture and the unique flavors. All the invited guests seemed to be enjoying every moment, laughing and chatting in the lively atmosphere.Afgan deliberately chose this garden setting to create a natural and romantic atmosphere. The decorative lights hanging among the trees added warmth to the evening, creating the perfect ambiance to celebrate Adelia's birthday.“This place is truly beautiful, Afgan,” Adelia said with s
The name sounded like a sweet melody to his ears, and her face appeared in the dark shadow in front of him.Five years ago, they met at a party, where his nephew, Edward, brought Adelia as his dance partner.Adam still remembered how captivated he was by Adelia's presence at that time. The woman's face and appearance were so similar to his late wife that he was stunned and couldn't blink.Adelia, with her sweet smile and graceful movements, enchanted him in an instant.In the flash of the party lights, Adam saw the shadow of his late wife, and he felt his heart tremble with waves of nostalgia and deep sadness.When they had the chance to dance as a couple, Adam felt as though he were in a completely different universe, where time had stopped spinning and loss no longer felt painful.But as the night came to an end, reality slapped him back to earth, and he found himself adrift once more in the bitter solitude of his loneliness.
Adam returned the woman's smile with a sweet one of his own. “Then I will be yours.”Once again, they kissed passionately. Sarah was swept away and felt powerless, but in the small corner of her heart that remained, she knew for certain that Adam was not the type of man who would easily fall for her.She realized that Adam's feelings for her were merely a tool he was using to hurt Melinda even more deeply. But despite this awareness, she continued to suppress her own feelings, allowing herself to be swept away by the deception of her heart.Every day, Sarah felt more trapped in Adam's game. She gave herself the excuse that this was the way to keep Melinda safe, even though deep down, she knew it was just a justification for her desire and fear of losing Adam.When night falls, Adam invites her out for a romantic dinner, and Sarah agrees without hesitation.Though she realizes this is just part of Adam's plan, she can't resist the chance to
Melinda shook her head, her eyes vacant as she looked around the room. “I don't know,” she said softly. “I feel like all my dreams are shattered, like there's nothing left for me to desire.”Sarah hugged her tighter. “But, Melinda, you still have so much ahead of you. Your life doesn't end here.”Melinda looked at her friend with a doubtful expression. “But how can I forget all this? How can I trust anyone again after this?”"How can I prove that I was only framed by Adam? All of this was his trap.”Sarah smiled gently. “You have the right to be represented by a lawyer; I'll handle it. Trust me, not all men are like Adam. This might just be a misunderstanding.”Melinda furrowed her brows slowly, trying to absorb Sarah's words. However, the journey to heal from this wound still felt very distant to her, and the truth? What would happen?Night fell, and Sarah had left Melinda in the i
Adam smiled slyly and continued his speech into the microphone he was holding.”The Melinda i-care Foundation has deceived the public with ticket sales for this baseball game concert. Shouldn't I be applauded for successfully trapping the perpetrator who deceived you all with the tickets?”Adam's words elicited a loud cheer from the audience. They felt justice had been served for them.Two female police officers quickly grabbed Melinda and cuffed her hands behind her back.“This isn't fair! You're so cruel!” Melinda shouted, struggling to break free, but the two holding her were too strong.“You did the same thing to the Al-Futtaim family, dear. Adelia is a good woman. If I had to choose, I would choose Adelia to be the worthy wife to replace my late wife because she has everything you don't have."Melinda widened her eyes, ”A-Adelia? So all of this was Adelia's cunning plan to trap me?”Adam wanted to say
Melinda craned her neck, trying to see more clearly toward the stage being set up in the middle of the field.She felt her heartbeat growing faster as the waiting dragged on. Today was the day she had been eagerly awaiting.Adam Offel had given her a hint that today would be one she would never forget. She wanted to give that man a second chance.Wearing a beautiful wedding dress that hugged her body, Melinda felt like a queen ready to receive the crown of happiness. But amidst the crowd, she didn't see the figure of Adam she had been hoping for. Uncertainty began to creep into her mind.Melinda sat in the chair that had been specially prepared for her. Watching the match with a sense of unease.Suddenly, the spotlights began to shine, and the crowd whispered with excitement. Melinda felt anxiety fill her chest as someone stepped onto the stage.But her heart skipped a beat when she realized that the person standing there was not Adam.
