Ucapan itu sangat singkat tapi terdengar sangat menyakitkan untuk Nadhira, wanita mana yang tidak mengidamkan seorang momongan, pasangan suami istri itu tentu sudah berusaha berbagai cara, hanya saja Allah memang belum berkehendak."Mamah ini ngomong apa sih, bisa nggak usah bahas masalah itu lagi Mah, aku bosan mendengarnya!"Terpaksa Fahri bicara cukup keras agar bu Sita tak membahas soal itu lagi tetapi wanita tua itu memang sengaja menggunakan alasan itu untuk menghina menantunya."Fahri kau ingat! Sudah dua tahun kalian menikah tapi lihat! Istrimu belum juga hamil, mau sampai kapan!"Sesak hati Nadhira mendengar hinaan dari Ibu mertuanya, sebagai istri memang dia tidak sempurna tetapi bukan berarti dia mau apa yang saat ini terjadi padanya. Sebagai sesama perempuan mengapa bu Sita begitu teganya bicara seperti itu pada Nadhira. Dia hanya bisa menunduk dengan mata yang mulai berkaca-kaca, tak berani untuk membalas hinaan yang sungguh menyakitkan."Em permisi, hari ini aku sangat lelah, aku izin untuk istirahat di kamar."Secepat mungkin dia pergi dari hadapan suami dan mertuanya tetapi di tengah perjalanan, bu Sita kembali bersuara yang membuat Nadhira sesaat menghentikan langkahnya."Hati-hati Fahri, biasanya kalau istri suka bekerja, dia akan macam-macam di luar sana!"Duar!Suara itu sengaja dia katakan dengan cukup kencang agar Nadhira mendengarnya dan memang sukses dia dengar, Nadhira memejamkan matanya sambil menarik nafas panjang, beristighfar dalam hati sebelum meneruskan langkahnya kembali. Baru saja dia menceritakan kabar baik pada suaminya bahwa dia di terima kerja di sebuah Rumah sakit sebagai Dokter specialis kandungan yang selama ini menjadi cita-citanya dan mendapat respon baik dari suaminya namun, sang mertua justru mengubah mood nya menjadi tak karuan.Brak!.Pintu dia tutup dengan cukup keras hingga menimbulkan suara yang menggema. Di balik pintu, wanita berhijab itu duduk di lantai sambil memeluk kakinya sangat erat seolah sedang menguatkan diri, tangisnya mulai pecah saat ucapan mertuanya terus terngiang di telinganya."Ya Allah, apa yang harus aku lakukan! Aku tidak berdaya, siapa yang tidak ingin punya anak, apa lagi aku dan Mas Fahri sudah lama menikah!"Tangis di dalam hati mengiringi butir bening yang mulai jatuh membasahi pipi mulusnya, sesekali Nadhira menggigit bibir bawahnya agar suara tangisan itu tidak pecah dan kemungkinan di dengar oleh suaminya yang hanya akan menambah beban pikiran Fahri.Tok! Tok! Tok!"Sayang buka pintunya! Kau sedang apa di dalam?""Aku tidak apa-apa Mas, aku baik-baik saja!" balas Nadhira dari dalam kamar tapi tak jua kunjung membuka pintu itu.Merasa istrinya tidak baik-baik saja, Fahri pun mencoba mendorong pintu itu sedikit demi sedikit. Nadhira secepatnya berdiri sambil menyeka air matanya dan berusaha bersikap senormal mungkin sebelum pintu itu terbuka oleh suaminya.Rasa perih itu dia telan dalam-dalam berharap Allah yang mendengarkan doanya dan segera memberinya seorang anak sebagai pelengkap kebahagiaannya."Eh, Mas maaf, aku tadi ... Em, itu tadi ... !" gumamnya terbata-bata, dia bingung kata apa yang harus dia ucapkan pada suaminya yang kini di hadapan sedang memandangnya dengan sendu. Nadhira tak berani mendongakkan wajahnya, dia hanya menunduk dengan mata sembab, sebelum Fahri mendongakkan wajah lewat dagunya."Kamu nggak usah dengerin apa kata Mamah, yang terpenting sekarang itu kita, bukan siapa-siapa dan bukan Mamah!"Ucapan lembut itu spontan membuat air matanya luluh lantak kembali, sekuat apapun Nadhira menghapus tetap saja turun tak terbendung.Hatinya sakit bak tersayat kembali membayangkan bagaimana sabarnya si suami terhadap dirinya yang sampai sekarang ini belum bisa membuat dia bahagia."Aku hanya takut kamu berpaling dariku Mas! Maafkan aku yang tak sempurna ini, Mamah memang benar, aku istri yang tidak berguna, pantas jika Mamah marah terhadapku Mas!" ucapnya dengan nafas tersengal-sengal."Sssttt, sudah! Kamu tak boleh ngomong seperti itu."Di Raihlah tubuh mungil itu ke dalam pelukannya sambil mencium pucuk kepala wanita yang sangat dia cinta. Selama ini dia tidak tertarik dengan wanita mana pun di luaran sana walau beberapa banyak yang menggoda bahkan sempat ada yang menawarkan diri untuk jadi istri ke dua."Itu tidak akan terjadi, Mas hanya mencintaimu dan sampai kapan cuma kamu yang ada di hati Mas!""Sudah lebih baik kamu mandi, Mas punya kejutan special untuk kamu.""Kejutan? Kejutan apa Mas?"Tangisnya mulai mereda, Nadhira sudah bisa bicara dengan hati lega, dia berusaha percaya pada suaminya itu yang selama ini mencintainya dengan tulus."Hem, kalau aku katakan namanya bukan kejutan dong! Sudah sana mandi! Aku tunggu di bawah."Tak lupa kecupan berikutnya Fahri berikan kembali selembut mungkin di kening Nadhira, wanita itu memasuki kamar mandi yang berada di dalam kamarnya, sementara Fahri lebih memilih menunggunya di luar rumah sambil melihat bintang-bintang yang mulai terlihat di keheningan malam, menengadah ke atas sambil menerawang entah apa yang dia bayangkan.Tak lama setelah itu..."Mas, aku sudah siap."Betapa terpesonanya Fahri saat membalikkan badan dan melihat istrinya yang begitu cantik memakai busana panjang berwarna putih motif bunga lengkap dengan outer panjang menjuntai ke bawah. Ujung hijab yang melingkar di lehernya, serta Make up natural semakin membuat dirinya terlihat sangat ayu membuat mata suami itu sulit untuk berkedip."Masya Allah, cantik sekali istriku malam ini! Sayang malam yang sangat special untuk ku. Sekarang kamu tutup mata ayok!"Nadhira mengerutkan alisnya tak mengerti, mengapa Fahri menyuruhnya untuk menutup mata, pasti karena dia tak mau kalau istrinya mengetahui lebih dulu kejutan yang akan dia berikan malam ini."Ayok tutup mata, tunggu apa lagi!"Tanpa ragu Nadhira pun menutup mata dengan kedua telapak tangannya, pria tampan itu sigap menuntunnya ke arah belakang rumah yang sudah dia rancang untuk memberi kejutan pada istrinya."Kamu mau bawa aku kemana Mas, aw!""Awas pelan-pelan Sayang, ups! Sebentar lagi sampai.""Nah, kita sudah sampai. Tunggu! Jangan buka mata sebelum aku menghitung sampai tiga."Langkah mereka berhenti, sebelum Fahri menyuruh Nadhira untuk membuka matanya, mereka berdiri sejajar sampai hitungan ke tiga Fahri mulai dari belakang."Dalam hitungan ke tiga, kamu boleh buka mata.""Ayok dong Mas, aku udah nggak sabar.""Sabar dong Sayang! Ya sudah, aku hitung sekarang. Tiga, dua, satu buka!"Mata Nadhira terbelalak sempurna kala melihat kejutan itu. Spontan kedua tangannya menutup bibir yang membulat gara-gara terkejut dengan kejutan yang di berikan oleh Fahri, suaminya...BERSAMBUNG.Nathalie dismissed the makeup artist before continuing to read the letter. She felt a chill run down her spine as she read that if she didn't comply with Michael's demands, not only Nigel would be in danger, but also the people in the church because he had left a bomb there. She grabbed her cellphone and was about to call the police, but just as she was dialing, someone suddenly called her. When she saw the unregistered number, she canceled the call, but the person called again. She canceled it again, but the person called again. This happened several times until Nathalie got annoyed. Due to the person's persistence, she finally answered the call, but she froze when she heard what the person on the other end said:"Don't even think about calling the police, or I'll detonate the bomb I'm holding the remote for." Nathalie had no idea that the person she was talking to was just nearby, sitting in a cafeteria close to the hotel where she was staying. He had paid someone to sneak a camer
Nathalie didn't tell anyone in her family what Lorraine had said, not even Nigel, because she didn't want to worry them. The next day, Lorraine called her and asked to meet up. Nathalie went to a private room in a restaurant to met her. "Mie, what's going on? What's with your nephew? I don't even know him, how could he be a threat to me like that?" "You might not remember him or maybe you don't know him at all, but I think he knows you very well."Nathalie was stunned until Lorraine shared about her nephew, Michael, and what she had discovered: There's a history of a certain mental disorder on one side of Michael's family, and he inherited it. However, that's not the only reason for his symptoms; frustration also triggered it, and the reason is Nathalie. "M-me?" Nathalie asked in surprise, pointing to herself. "What do I have to do with it?" "You don't know, but... Michael has had feelings for you since college. I think he couldn't pursue you back then because he's quite timid."
Nigel sprinted towards the woman and grabbed her hand. Luckily, he managed to stop just in time. He restrained her, but not before she sliced his hand with a knife. Ignoring the pain, Nigel forcefully snatched the knife away from her and hurled it far out of reach. Then, he ripped off her mask, revealing Elaine standing before him. "I knew it!"Elaine quickly backed away and pulled out a small gun from her pocket, she aim it at Nigel. "I won't let you ruin my plans again. Why do you always interfere? If you hadn't, I would have taken care of Nathalie by now!... Remember this, Nigel: if I can't have you, no one else will!""Why, Elaine, do you plan to kill me now? Is all you know how to do is evil? You haven't even paid for what you did before, and now you want to kill again?... Put the gun down!" "No!" Elaine shouted. "Do you think I'm a fool? I know you'll put me in prison again, won't you? Well, if that's the case, then we'll all go to hell together!" And she aimed the gun at Nath
After the hearing, Elaine and Butch won. They used the reason that Elaine had severe migraines, which was confirmed by the warden and her fellow inmates. While the couple was celebrating, Nigel's group looked gloomy. They were disappointed because they were confident they would win due to their strong evidence, including the police catching Elaine trying to harm Nathalie in the surgery room. However, they didn't expect Elaine to use her illness as a defense. But they had doubts that Elaine might have bribed someone to fake her illness.Elaine glanced at Nigel's group and smirked. She wanted to rub it in their faces that they couldn't do anything to her, but she restrained herself because she needed to act like the victim in front of her boyfriend. As the group were about to leave, they were surprised to bump into Nathalie with a maid's assistance. "Nat, what are you doing here?" Lucille asked, approaching and supporting her. "You should have stayed home and rested." Nathalie re
Before heading to the office, Nigel stopped by the hospital to check on Nathalie. "Aren't you leaving? You might have a lot of work to do. I can push this wheelchair by myself, you know," Nathalie said. "Why are you trying to get rid of me? I just want to spend more time with you," Nigel replied. He pushed the wheelchair to a stone bench, parked it, and sat down beside her. "Nat, I haven't told you this yet, but I found out something about Elaine." Nathalie's attention was piqued. "What is it?" "I hired a private investigator and sent him abroad to where Elaine fleeing. Did you know she has a foreign boyfriend?" "She already has a boyfriend, so why would she still want to get back with you?""Knowing Elaine, over the years of our relationship, I slowly saw her self-centeredness emerge. It was like everything revolved around her." Nathalie looked at him sideways. "Was that what you liked about her?" Nigel was about to respond negatively when he felt like his girlfriend was tea
"Nigel, are you sure about this plan? What if something happens to Nathalie?" Lucille asked worriedly. They were standing at a distance from Nathalie's room. "Don't worry, Aunt. I've thought this through. Nothing will happen to her." Just then, Nigel's phone alarm went off. "Let's go," And they quickly entered Nathalie's room. Upon entering, the police were already there. Their guns were pointed at Elaine, who was frozen in shock. Elaine had been about to take her final step when the alarm in the room suddenly went off, startling her and causing her to drop the disinfectant. The police burst in, catching her off guard. She subconsciously raised her hands in surrender. When Nigel and Lucille entered the room, they were met with this scene.The doctors and nurses who were supposed to perform the operation on Nathalie arrived, curious about the commotion. When someone said it was a false alarm, they learned that the police were actually conducting an operation. The police had deemed
