The exhibition went on successfully without Adelia and Afgan. Melinda took over the tasks that Adelia should have done while Edward took over Afgan's work by occasionally coordinating video calls with Afgan.
“How's Adelia?” asked Edward during a video call to show the excitement and enthusiasm of the exhibitors.
Afgan immediately turned the screen of his phone to take a picture of Adelia who was fast asleep.
“She's so beautiful, even when she's asleep,” said Edward unknowingly, making Afgan immediately angry and turning off the call unilaterally.
“That's good, he praised my wife.” Afgan spoke to himself in annoyance and turned off his cell phone. He didn't want to be disturbed by any calls at the moment. He gently gazed at Adelia's face as she slept peacefully.
“It's beautiful,” Afgan said while adjusting some of Adelia's small hair
As soon as he heard Adelia's voice, Adelia's father immediately opened the door curiously.“Uh, who is that guy? Why isn't it Afgan? Why did you come home with another man? Uh, what a nice car!”Before Adelia could answer her father's question, the old man was already staring in amazement at Edward's black sports car.Edward just smiled warmly and then introduced himself to Adelia's father politely.“Introductions, my name is Edward Ofel.”“Edward Ofel? You're the rich son of the Ofel Kingdom?” Adelia's father smiled kindly although he still looked a little suspicious.“Greetings, Edward. I'm sorry if I look a little surprised. We're not used to seeing Adelia coming home with a male companion, let alone in a car as cool as this.” Adelia's father reached out to shake hands with Edward.
Afgan returned Adelia's gaze with a feeling that he himself did not understand.“Sorry, I didn't mean...” Adelia felt awkward and struggled to continue her sentence.“I like sleeping on the floor,” Afgan said and laid himself down on the floor.However, the rich man couldn't stand the cold. Immediately, he sneezed a few times and shivered.Adelia sympathized with Afgan's situation. She kept all her anger and disappointment to herself.Hatchyii! Hatcyiiii!Afgan was heard sneezing once again.Adelia immediately pulled Afgan's hand so that he stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. “Don't be stubborn. Sleep here. My bed is small, but it still fits the two of us.”Afgan looked at Adelia with sparkling eyes and then hugged her tightly and they slept in the cramped confines of Adelia's small bed.Afgan loved the way Adelia's scent made him feel, so the exhausted man quickly fell asleep.
Bam!The door was closed roughly by Adelia's father with a chuckle.“Don't come out if you haven't made it!” he shouted from outside the door.Meanwhile, in the room, Afgan looked at Adelia with a serious look. Adelia's bright red face provoked Afgan to mock her.“You're so red, don't tell me you're imagining things that aren't true?”Adelia raised her head and looked into Afgan's eyes. “No, this is all a misunderstanding. I don't know what to answer.”Adelia was about to step into the bathroom, but Afgan immediately pulled her up and pushed her onto the bed.“Don't we have a job to do?” asked Afgan as he leaned over Adelia's small body, supporting her with both hands so that their faces were very close.“It's ... it's all just a misunderstanding,” Adelia sai
Once at the hotel, Afgan immediately sought out Melinda. The arrogant man could not prevent his own desires at the moment.Afgan immediately pulled Melinda's hand who was still wearing her work uniform. They walked hurriedly to room 1808.“Afgan, what's going on? Why did you show up suddenly and like this?” Melinda grumbled all the way to the room. Her body was exhausted as she had just arrived at the hotel from a five-hour journey from the tourism village due to the traffic jam.Roughly, Melinda was thrown on the bed. Afgan immediately took off his own shirt and crushed Melinda underneath him. “Shut up!” he shouted harshly as Melinda tried to struggle.A fear in Melinda became real, imagining the rough man taking away Adelia's honor on the fateful night he had seized as if she were a victim.“Is this the rough treatment Adelia is experie
Two adult men who were both tall and had almost equal levels of good looks, coupled with excellent fighting skills.However, before the fight got any more intense, the sound of police sirens began to sound closer and closer. The door to the live bar opened wide, and two police officers entered the place firmly. They separated Afgan and Edward who were still trying to attack each other.“Stop! Police!” one of the officers shouted loudly, trying to defuse the heated fight.Afgan and Edward, panting and looking hurt, were finally confronted with the fact that their fight was over. The police officers immediately handcuffed the two and placed them in a police car.On the way to the police station, the police car was silent. Afgan and Edward sat in the back with angry stares, contemplating the consequences of the fight that took place in Jakarta's posh live bar. They realized that this night of intrigue would end with them behind bars.Upon
Adelia was eager to ask, but didn't have enough courage to do so she just swallowed her saliva roughly and continued her task of rubbing the wound caused by being knocked to the floor full of bottle debris during the fight with Edward earlier.“I was hit by a burning log as a child,” Afgan said in a flat voice, as if he understood what was in Adelia's heart.Adelia gently stroked the burn that consisted of flesh that grew irregularly like real skin.“Does it hurt?”Afgan shook his head softly. Unexpectedly, Adelia hugged Afgan's body from behind. “I'm sorry.”Afgan was surprised by Adelia's sudden action of embracing his waist. Suddenly the image of Adelia was touched by another man once again.“What the hell!” Afgan snapped suddenly and brushed Adelia's hand away in disgust.“You can't take advantage of the situation! Get out of my room now! Go away!”Adelia's eyes im
It only took ten minutes for Adelia to return to Afgan's room with a pillow and blanket in her hand. Adelia had also put on an over-the-knee sleepwear that had two thin straps.Adelia moved to the sofa in the living room to spread her blanket on the sofa that was bordered by a luxurious glass partition in Afgan's room.“Hey, why are your clothes that thin? Don't tell me you want to tease me,” mocked Afgan who still couldn't even wear clothes because his wounds weren't dry yet.He had only hidden himself in the blanket as the air conditioning had started to work properly.Adelia glanced at her own clothes then smiled sarcastically at Afgan's mockery. “It's just sleepwear, Afgan. No need to exaggerate.”Afgan looked at Adelia with a sharp gaze. “Clothes that thin, Adelia? What, you think we're on a beach vacation or something? Is that how you lure glances from men who are potential buyers of your services?”
The silence of the night made the atmosphere tense in Adelia's room. The woman cried herself to sleep.However, Adelia felt uneasy in her sleep, there was a faint groan from the next room. Adelia rubbed her eyes and looked at the wall clock.“Three o'clock, is he not asleep yet?” Adelia asked herself, realizing that the moans from Afgan were getting louder.Lazily, Adelia stepped closer to the wall to get a better look and guess what was happening to Afgan.“To... long, I'm scared... Mom!” Afgan shouted.Adelia blinked her eyes repeatedly. It looked like Afgan was delirious in his sleep. Restlessly, Adelia walked around her own room. She wanted to go inside Afgan's room, but she was afraid he would scold her once again.The clearer and louder sounds of moaning made Adelia couldn't stand it anymore. Adelia quickly opened the door to the room and was surprised that the butler was also at Afgan's door with a panicked loo
Bob shook his head as he handed over the payment for the drink he orderedearlier.“Do you know them?” asked Bob suddenly.The waiter nodded, “His mother gave birth at Grandpa Rafael's house,but I never saw their father.”“... and, it's none of my business,” said the waiter as he withdrew the money Bob handed over.the money Bob handed over.“Thank you,” he said and walked away with the tray in his hand.his hand.Bob pondered all the waiter's words while standing in front of the chair.“Their father's status is suspicious. Afgan must know this!”With slightly trembling knees, Bob tried to contact Afgan again.“Sir,” Bob said hesitantly.“What else do you want?” Afgan felt his focus was being disrupted by Bobso picked up the call with a gruff.“Giv
Bob looked at the photo on the cell phone that Lucas handed over. The woman in the photo was not Adelia, although she was very beautiful. Bob swallowed his saliva and felt a little disappointed, but he was very curious about the resemblance of the twins to Afgan.“What about your father?”Lucas and Joanne looked at each other in response to Bob's question. After a moment, Lucas answered, “We never met Dad. Mom said that he died.”Bob's eyes lit up at the answer from the little man. “Ohh, well, wait a minute. I'm going to have a long distance video call with Afgan, how?”Lucas and Joanne nodded together enthusiastically. Of course Bob felt very happy and couldn't wait to tell Afgan about Joanne and Lucas' discovery in Dubai. With great excitement, he picked up his cell phone and selected Afgan's number. A few seconds later, the long-distance call was connected, and Afgan's warm voice was heard on the other side of the li
Rafael promised to give them his full support throughout the journey of life that had just begun. Despite their separate paths, kindness, love, and responsibility remain the foundation that binds their relationship as a family together.After Aiyana calmed down, Grandpa invited her to sit in the living room, looking at Aiyana with great concern. “Aiyana, there is something I would like to ask you to consider together.”Aiyana sat near her grandfather, asking curiously, “What is it, Grandfather?”Grandpa Rafael took a deep breath, “After everything that's happened, I feel it's time we make a decision about our future.”“Do you want to have full custody of your twin child without the need for her father's intervention in the future?”Aiyana had told Grandpa Rafael all about her past life, about how she had lived with Afgan and how she had been trapped in the embers until she had to undergo total plastic
Edward said with confidence, "We may not be able to change the past, but we can build a beautiful future together."The four of them sat together in silence for a moment, appreciating the strength of their bond.Although Emily's wish to have biological children may not be realized, the presence of Joanne and Lucas still brings light and happiness to her life. They know that family is not just about blood, but also about love, support, and a bond that grows with time.Aiyana stepped closer to Emily with warmth in her eyes. "My son is your son too, Emily," she said, embracing the woman tightly. Emily was taken aback by the warmth and kindness of Lucas's mother.Emily smiled with teary eyes, feeling how special this moment was. "Thank you," she whispered, feeling a deep sense of gratitude.Edward, who had been a spectator in the corner of the room, saw this moment with eyes full of love and happiness. Seeing the two people he loved like that, gave him
The lavish stage was filled with spotlights, and echoing music filled the room as the fashion show began. Amongst the glittering spotlights and jingling steps of the models, two identical twins, Joanne and Lucas, stood at the back of the stage in their stunningly modeled children's outfits.Their eyes sparkled as they entered the stage, and a standing ovation greeted them. They strutted confidently, combing the catwalk as if they had been doing it all their lives. Joanne and Lucas do have an extraordinary charm, and top designers love their uniqueness.Their beaming smiles reflected the joy of children who are innocent and energetic, lively and clever.Applause from the boisterous audience accompanied their steps along the catwalk.In the audience, their mother, Aiyana, sat proudly. Her eyes sparkle as she watches her twin shine on stage. Next to her, their grandfather, Rafael, was also smiling happily. Yet, there was a longing in their hearts. If only th
"What's wrong with you?" greeted Bob's coworker. Afgan's assistant was just silent and silent. He was thinking about the twins that Afgan said."Bob!" called his coworker once again. "Huh?" Bob looked at him with confusion."What's wrong with you?""Oh, it's nothing. I'm just thinking, is it better to go to Africa," Bob said unconsciously."What the hell ... seriously?""Tell me, how can I find twins who look like Afgan?""Twins? Like Mr. Boss?" Bob's coworker put his hand to his chin. "I think I've seen it before.""What? Tell me where!" Bobo pulled the collar of his colleague's shirt so that the man became claustrophobic."Let go, this hurts! Aough... "Bob came to his senses and hurriedly removed his hand. "Tell me!""Okay, look at this." The man took his cell phone and opened the latest social media application. With a swipe, he opened the screen showing a live fashion show."What is this, I want twins,
Afgan snorted and went into the master suite.Melinda began to feel isolated and unsupported. When she tried to talk to Afgan's family, they just rolled their eyes and avoided talking about their domestic problems.One lonely Sunday, Kanya, Afgan's mother, suddenly came to visit Shintya. She focused on playing and joking with her granddaughter. Melinda's presence was simply ignored.A distraught Melinda tried to seek support from Afgan's mother, hoping to find understanding or a solution. However, her hopes were dashed when she spoke to her mother-in-law.Melinda approached Kanya who was playing with Shintya and said in a soft tone. "Mom, I feel lost in our marriage. Afgan is getting distant, and I don't know what to do."Kanya, Afgan's mother, a stern and cold woman, just smiled sarcastically. She already knew all of Melinda's dark secrets. As well as her involvement in the deception of Afgan's fateful night out."Oh, Melinda, you're always so dramatic. Marriage is hard, wasn't this
Achmed gripped his staff angrily. Afgan had dared to challenge him by allowing the woman who had the affair to stay in the house and look after the child.He himself was suspicious about the authenticity of his grandson being a biological grandson, but somehow he had to trust the DNA report.No one will ever know how Melinda managed to outsmart the test results.Achmed's fear is that Melinda will have a bad influence on his grandson's development."Why is he still unwilling to let her go? She will only bring bad influence to Shintya, my beloved granddaughter!" Achmed said as he turned to his wife who was acting indifferent.Kanya was busy knitting a scarf. The woman only snorted softly at her husband's frustration."Shintya still needs a mother, maybe your son is holding back the woman who cheated on him for this reason," Kanya said while still knitting the yarn to make the scarf."Look, is the length of this scarf suitable for Shintya?" asked Kanya as if she didn't care about Melinda
After all the secrets were revealed, Afgan decided to visit the cemetery, where Adelia, his long-dead first wife, was buried. He walked alone among the tombstones, staring at the picture of Adelia on her grave.Afgan's face was full of regret and devastation. "Adelia, I'm sorry. I have wasted your love and sacrifice. I was so stupid," he murmured, eyes full of tears.Afgan sat in front of Adelia's grave, letting his emotions explode. He was devastated, not only by the breakdown of his marriage to Melinda, but also by the realization that Adelia had given him everything, and he had never fully appreciated it."Adelia, I know I've made you lonely all this time. You deserve better than me. I can't apologize to you directly, but I promise, I will learn from my mistakes. May you be at peace there," said Afgan while wiping away the tears that kept flowing.As Afgan sat in the cemetery, he realized how futile his struggle to find happiness in the wrong place had been. Despair crept into his
