로그인Nancy Jones could not believe that she had fallen for his lies and had been made a fool of. She didn't believe it until she saw his wife and four children smiling happily in the picture. But it was too late because she was already pregnant. 'Don't try to get in contact with me again. I don't want to have problems with my wife', he had said. The tears flowed down her cheek. She had to end this now, her life was of no use to her anymore anyways.....

Sebuah kontrakan diketuk pintunya dari luar oleh seorang Ibu bersama dua perempuan muda. “Bu, kencang aja ketukannya? Siapa tahu si Dea lagi tidur jam segini,” ucap Raisa, menantu pertama Ibu Maisarah, sembari mengipasi lehernya dengan tangan. “Iya, Bu. Mana panas lagi, bikin kulit aku jadi gosong,” sahut Siska, menantu kedua, sok banget sambil mengusap lengannya yang memang tampak kemerahan. Ibu Maisarah mendengkus kesal pada kedua menantunya yang cerewet seraya mengetuk lagi pintu kontrakan tersebut agak kencang dari yang pertama. “Dea, buka pintunya! Buka pintunya, Dea!” teriak Bu Maisarah saking kesalnya menunggu lama di luar. Untung saja kontrakan dengan tiga pintu itu terlihat sepi yang kemungkinan besar penghuninya sedang tidak ada di rumah sehingga teriakannya tidak mengganggu penghuni kontrakan. Deasy yang sedang menyusui bayinya yang baru berumur lima bulan terpaksa menghentikan anaknya yang menyusu saat telinganya mendengar suara yang sangat ia kenal. “Anak pintar, sabar ya, Nak! Nenekmu sepertinya datang berkunjung, dan sekarang kita lihat apa lagi maksud kedatangannya kali ini,” gumam Deasy berbicara pada anaknya sambil menggendong bayi cantik berjalan ke ruang depan. Ceklek! Saat pintu terbuka, Dea melihat muka kesal ibunya dan muka sombong kedua iparnya yang berdiri tegak bak penagih hutang di depan pintu. “Ibu, Mbak Siska, Mbak Raisa, mari silakan masuk!” sapa Dea dengan tersenyum ramah pada ketiga wanita beda usia itu. Siska masuk terlebih dahulu dengan raut muka jijik seakan-akan ia masuk ke kandang hewan. Sedangkan Bu Maisarah masuk belakangan setelah Raisa dengan mengamati secara detail kontrakan yang mungkin saja ada perubahan yang ia lihat. “Duduk dulu semuanya, saya mau ambilkan minum dulu di belakang,” ucap Dea berusaha ramah kepada mereka semua. “Tidak usah, saya tidak haus! Duduk saja kamu di sana!” tolak Bu Maisarah dengan menunjuk kursi di hadapan Raisa menantu keduanya. “Iya, De. Kami semua gak haus dan kamu gak perlu repot-repot sambil bawa-bawa bayi segala,” sahut Raisa ikut menimpali ucapan mertuanya. Dea hanya mengangguk kecil dan memilih duduk di kursi yang kosong. “Dea, Ibu sudah putuskan untuk menikahkan kamu dengan laki-laki baik pilihan kami. Kamu harus menceraikan laki-laki miskin itu untuk masa depan kamu nanti. Mau sampai kapan kamu hidup susah dan tinggal di tempat kumuh seperti ini?” ucap Bu Maisarah tanpa basa basi lagi. Dea mengangkat mukanya sembari menggigit bibirnya yang kelu mendengar kembali hinaan sang ibu pada suaminya. Apa salahnya menikah dengan laki-laki sederhana seperti suaminya? Ia sangat bahagia selama pernikahan mereka yang masih seumur jagung tersebut. “Bu, Aa Avin laki-laki bertanggungjawab. Meskipun ia tidak punya banyak harta, Dea dan Audrey hidup bahagia bersamanya. Dea gak mau menceraikan Aa Avin karena istri yang meminta cerai itu hukumnya dosa besar,” jawab Dea dengan lembut berusaha membuka hati ibunya. “Apalagi Aa Avin gak punya kesalahan fatal yang bisa membuat Dea menggugat cerai. Dea mohon sama ibu, tolong biarkan keluarga kecil kami hidup damai tanpa ada perselisihan hanya karena Aa Avin bukan orang kaya,” tambah Dea lagi meminta belas kasihan ibunya dengan mata berkaca-kaca. Bukannya luluh mendengar keluh kesah Dea, Bu Maisarah semakin marah karena menganggap penolakan Dea sebagai sikap durhaka perempuan itu padanya. “Dasar anak durhaka kamu, Dea! Beraninya kamu bicara seperti itu sama Ibu kamu sendiri? Semua yang ibu lakukan hanya untuk kebahagiaan kamu! Tinggalkan anak ini bersama laki-laki miskin itu dan ikut ibu pulang! Lama-lama tinggal disini membuat kamu semakin pintar bicara dan pintar melawan ibumu sendiri,” bentak Bu Maisarah dengan kencang tanpa memikirkan jika suara kencangnya mengejutkan bayi Dea. Oek...oek...oek... Bayi berumur lima bulan dalam dekapan Dea menangis kencang karena terkejut mendengar suara kencang Bu Maisarah. “Ck, berisik banget sih! Bikin telingaku sakit saja,” celetuk Siska tanpa perasaan. Tidak hanya Siska yang merasa terganggu, Bu Maisarah juga ikut terganggu mendengar tangisan anaknya Dea. “Pokoknya Ibu gak mau tau ya, Dea. Kamu harus ikut ibu pulang ke rumah kita dan tinggalkan anak itu sama ayahnya. Kamu harus menikah dengan laki-laki pilihan ibu dan laki-laki itu akan membuat hidupmu aman dan tenteram dengan semua harta yang ia miliki!” “Tapi, Bu...” “Gak ada hidup yang tidak memikirkan harta, karena dengan memiliki harta yang banyak kamu tidak akan sudah jika mau melakukan apa saja!” potong Bu Maisarah, tidak mendengarkan perkataan Dea. “Juragan Handi pasangan yang cocok untuk kamu dan nantinya hidupmu akan bahagia diistimewakan pria seperti Juragan Handi!” “Apa?? Juragan Handi??” pekik Dea dengan wajah syok mendengar nama tersebut. Bersambung...Josephine was already six and a big girl. She helped in taking care of her siblings.Yes, Nancy gave both to a set of twins. Both boys not long after Josephine came back home and they were three years old and terrorizes them in the house. Thank goodness for their elder sister who try to keep them in line.Nancy had thought that she would stay a bit longer before allowing herself to get pregnant again but since she and Jason could hardly keep their hands of each other, she soon found that she was pregnant again and had just given birth to a beautiful girl.'Get ready for another set of twins', Jason joked one day and Nancy threw a pillow playfully at him.'You think it is easy carrying them in the womb for nine months and then the ordeal at the hospital to get them out?'Jason hugged her lovingly. 'I know all that and I shall forever be indebted to you. I never thought I could be this happy. You have brought untold joy into my life and I can assure you that I am very grateful''You hav
Mattias took her to the new venue praying that he would still be in the men's trusted books.Like he had foretold, the security was tighter.But raising his hands and asking the ma'am to do the same, they were able to get within some inches of the place.'Comrades', Mattias calked cheerfully. 'I am the ma'am came back from prison where we had gone to see the boss and he had ordered that the little girl be sent back to her parents and that was why we came here to get her. I didn't know that she was to come with me, she was supposed to have stayed at home while I brought the girl to her but she has trust issues because she has not had dealings with us before. She does not know that there is loyalty amongst thieves'.But if that is the case why did you give us the prompt to vacate the place immediately?''The reason is because I was shocked that she had followed me to this place but she is our boss' wife afterall and it's her prerogative. If not for the fact that it will be somewhat risk
As soon as Mattias came out from the prison, Rodney's wife followed him. She was cunning and made sure he did not realise that he was followed.She followed him to a place where she was sure they were keeping Josephine.As soon as he entered, she sneeked in after him and then she saw the girl and those guarding her.'Mattias, who is this woman with you?'Mattias looked back only to find the boss' wife behind him. How had she followed him without him being aware of it? He felt that the boss was going to do away with him because considering what the woman had in mind for the little girl, the boss would never forgive him for such a skip and would haunt him down to the lowest of the underworld to get him and extract his pound of flesh from him.'Ma'am, what is the problem? If you needed something, you could have asked me for it and I would have supplied it''Mattias, who is she?''She is the boss' wife'.'Welcome ma'am, we didn't know that the boss would send you to such a place as this'.
Rodney, called Mattias and told him what he had decided.Mattias who had not felt very comfortable kidnapping a child was happy that his boss had reached such a noble decision as to give the child back to her parents.He wished though that he had made that decision before the deed was actually done. Taking the child back now was going to take all his wit's because he knew that there were searches everywhere for them. He had barely managed to take the girl out in the first place.'How does she look?' Rodney asked curious for the first time to know how Josephine looked.'I must say that she is going to be a most stunning woman. I pity the men. She will cause alot of heart break. She has dark hair and same colour of eyes as you. Now that I think of it, she looks so much like you'.Rodney smiled. It made him happy that his daughter looked more like him than her mother. It made him burst with male pride and made him more determined to do right by her.They were still talking when his wife
.Nancy nearly fainted but Jason who had been staring at her, wondering why she was so pale and staring at Rodney the way she was as though she had seen a ghost, caught her and carried her to a sofa.All attention shifted from Rodney to Nancy.'What was Rodney doing here?' Nancy thought in panic.Rodney
After dinner that night, Sally pit her children to sleep and came back downstairs to speak to Jason.Nancy had been absent. She had asked Sandy to bring her meal to her in her quarters because she had wanted to give the brother and sister privacy.'Are Vera and Vaughn asleep?''Yes, they are. Jason I h
Nancy had not had the time to speak to Jason about Phoebe's conspiracy. Anytime she wanted to bring up the topic, Jason would ask one thing or the other that would make her forget about it and by the time she remembered, the opportunity would be lost.She decided that she was going to wait till after
Jason remembered that it was just about a week to Christmas and he was yet to throw the traditional party for his employee to celebrate their success through the year.'Nancy is not aware of this tradition', he thought. 'I shall have to intimate her about it'. As he drove home he thought of how the p
