Edwin let what his mother did to the woman whose stomach was already rounded in front of her. In fact, Ernawati's face was very happy when Melati was willing to wear the clothes that she gave to the woman. While Melati herself didn't talk much and looked awkward, Ernawati left her along with Edwin to the dining room to make sure all the food was ready."Take your wife to eat, Ed!" Ernawati exclaimed while setting the plates on the table which made Edwin and Melati turn to the right of the room, then glance at each other."Are you hungry now? Let's have lunch," said Edwin flatly."Actually, I'm not very–""Mel, please respect my mother's efforts. Besides, she must have prepared healthy dishes for you and your baby," said Edwin as he walked first which made Melati uneasy. He realized his mistake. She realized that she was a woman who was indebted to Edwin and to the family. So he must know himself and also have to respect them moBab terkait
Forced Marriage Chapter 22
Chapter 22The atmosphere at the airport seemed crowded even though it was already midnight. Edwin stood staring at the arrival where his only sister was walking towards him with one hand dragging a large suitcase with a paper bag hanging beside it.The girl looked around for the whereabouts of her lover who promised to pick her up."Who are you looking for, Kirana? Your handsome brother is already standing in front of you," said Edwin with a big smile, making Kirana glare at him. But a split second later, pinched Edwin's cheek in exasperation while hugging the man tightly.Kirana has spent almost ten days abroad, because of her desire to see beauty in other parts of the world."Why did my brother pick me up? Even though I was hoping for someone," he said with a disappointed face, when the man who was expected to pick him up, did not see the bridge of his nose at all."Are you waiting for someone else? Ugh, it's a waste of two ho

Chapter 23"Sorry, I didn't mean to. You must be uncomfortable and in pain." Edwin immediately withdrew his hand, got up and went straight to the bathroom to wash up. After that, he held a prayer rug and fulfilled his obligations and recited the prayers solemnly which continued to get the attention of Melati.Although she has also been taught religious knowledge since childhood by her father by bringing a Koran teacher to her house, Melati very rarely performs worship rituals, in fact she has almost forgotten the last time she prayed, perhaps when she was a teenager.Melati slightly regretted what she had done, in contrast to the man in front of her, who besides being pious also never left her obligations. Although Melati slightly regretted the attitude of the man who always spoke curtly and annoyed him.Melati immediately went to the bathroom while Edwin was reciting holy verses. Only a few moments later he was finished and lay back down in his p

Chapter 24Ernawati parted the curtains in the six by six square meter room so that direct sunlight entered the room. Don't forget to open the window, so that clean air can enter to replace the stuffy air in the room."Wake up, Kirana, it's noon. You don't want to miss breakfast together, do you." Ernawati came close to touch her daughter's hair and then rubbed her head affectionately. Kirana, who came home late at night, did not have time to meet her mother because she did not want to disturb her rest. However, the girl really missed her mother, especially because she had just returned to Wijaya's residence, after three years choosing to be alone in the village to calm her mind."Good morning my beautiful mother," she muttered, blinking his eyes from the glare. The almost twenty year old girl immediately kissed her mother's cheek, which Erna returned with a hug on her shoulder."Go to the bathroom and clean yourself up, because I'm going to tell
Forced Marriage Chapter 25
Chapter 25The atmosphere that morning should have been more pleasant because the whole family was in the same house. But in reality it is not. Kirana who was sitting on the dining chair looked at the presence of two people walking hand in hand towards her place. His focus and attention was on the woman behind her own brother, who was looking down with a bulging stomach. Even Melati's hands were intertwined, a sign that the woman was afraid of the gaze of the girl in front of her. Even though Ernawati and Candra told her to sit down and enjoy her breakfast, in fact Kirana's sharp gaze made Melati uncomfortable.Edwin, who saw his sister's unkind gaze, immediately cleared his throat and lightened the atmosphere by handing out some food for Kirana to enjoy."Ten days abroad will definitely make you miss Indonesian specialties. Eat it, Kirana. You know, this mother's cooking must have made it special to welcome you." Edwin put down a piece of his si

Chapter 26"Why is your face suddenly gloomy, Ed?" Jovan looked at the unusual face of his best friend and boss. The man even massaged his heavy head."I guess because I didn't get enough sleep last night, or I don't know," replied Edwin simply. But his chest felt uncharacteristically restless. However, work must come first and he must follow procedures and review his projects in other cities."If only I was in power, I would tell you to stay home and read the newspaper. But it can't be like that, the project in Surabaya requires your presence there to monitor and see their activities. And as I have investigated previously, there is a flow of funds that 's been used improperly, and it goes into some people's pockets and puts our project on the line a bit. We've almost lost a few digits, and the numbers keep pouring in regularly, Ed." Jovan said at length, explaining one more time for Edwin to understand. Even though she guessed that the man who had just le

Chapter 27"Why do we have to go anyway, Mom. I just want to stay at home. Besides, I'm too lazy to meet Aunt Anita and Uncle Teguh." Kirana pursed her lips when Ernawati insisted on asking her to go to her uncle and aunt's house."Kirana, mother can't bear to refuse their invitation. Besides, what's wrong with getting together once in a while considering that you haven't seen them again after three years. After all, Vienna and your grandfather went to the hospital, so it's okay."Kirana remembers Melati. A good opportunity to leave him alone in that big house."Okay, if you insist," added Kirana while getting ready.The two of them walked towards the yard, where a white car was ready to take them off. Before actually driving, Ernawati looked up where Melati's room was brightly lit. Previously he knocked softly on the door to say goodbye, but the pregnant woman did not answer his words. And Ernawati understands that Melati is not used to it.******The sound of footsteps made Melati o

Chapter 28Edwin's eyes darkened, staring intently at the two of them. When the man almost accepted Melati, if the woman wanted to change slowly. But what he saw now seemed to explain who Melati and the man in front of her really were. A despicable couple who do perverts do not deserve his sympathy. And what's even more embarrassing is what the two of them did in their own room. Whoever is in his position, will definitely not stand still and will act anarchically.The man immediately carried Melati in his arms, then passed Edwin whose hands were still clenched into fists, who seemed reluctant to watch the two pass. Edwin looked away in extreme disgust.Suddenly the light came on. Which instantly made the place ablaze.Meanwhile, the man immediately carried Melati to his car. Jovan, who had just returned from behind, saw someone swiftly passing not far from where he was standing.Unfortunately, he didn't get to see the man's face, but Edwin's growl and shout from upstairs made his att

Chapter 29"Wake up, Mel, you've been asleep for too long. Don't you want to look at me and scold a coward like me? Wake up and say whatever's on your heart." Pabian looked down with bloodshot eyes. I can't bear to see the condition of the woman who is struggling with the pain. If only he had fulfilled his promise to Melati, of course they would be happy now and Melati would not have to live in Edwin's house, which unfortunately is also the house occupied by Kirana, his lover.Their relationship is very good, until Pabian promises marriage to cover up the shame that Melati feels. He wanted to comfort her as best he could and be her protector. However, when the wedding day arrived, he disappointed Melati."Leave and don't bother him. Go back to your room and rest!" Edwin pulled the man's shirt away. Immediately let go of the hands of the two as if they felt uncomfortable.In front of Edwin, Pabian did not dare to challenge. The man looked
