"Damn!" Zavier shouted angrily. The cellphone was thrown onto the bed.
"That damn woman didn't even turn on her phone!" With annoyance, Zavier flung himself onto the cold bed.
His feelings were troubled, and both of his eyes were filled with red sclera, indicating that the man was very upset and didn't know what to do.
A moment later, he grabbed the car keys and stepped out of the house with the intention of looking for Nayla.
Meanwhile, Nayla had arrived in front of her small house. The house bought by Xander, her kind-hearted father-in-law.
The small house only has two small rooms, each with a single bed, and one of the rooms is occupied by the younger sibling who takes care of herself.
"Sister?" Nadira greeted her sister, who looked a bit pale and tired.
Nayla just smiled and hugged her younger sibling. Tears flowed again, wetting her cheeks.
"W-what happened?" Why didn't you call?
Nadira was very upset with Nayla's condition, which seemed to be in turmoil. Immediately, she led her older sister into the house and served her a warm drink.
A glass of warm water was able to calm Nayla's feelings at that moment. After taking a few deep breaths, Nayla finally began to tell her story. Meanwhile, Nadira looked at her older sister with a gaze full of questions.
"Zavier is cheating, and it's all clear. There is no reason for me to stay there ... " Nayla stopped her sentence and continued it in her heart, "... and become his servant and a place for him to... "
Nayla cupped her hands over her face, how frustrated she felt at that moment.
"Nay, have you investigated it properly?" Of course, Nadira hoped her sister wouldn't be reckless.
With a heavy sigh, Nayla pulled out two receipts she had managed to obtain and handed them to Nadira.
"The first receipt was for the purchase of valuable items worth hundreds of millions. I hoped he bought something for me, but since the date on the receipt, half a year has passed and I haven't received anything." Nayla's voice sounded hoarse and strained.
"The second receipt is the hotel check-in receipt, under the name of Sefia."
Nadira stared at the receipt she was holding, her pale face becoming even paler because she herself was not in good health.
"And Sefia is...?"
Nayla looked at Nadira and nodded. "Two years ago, when Zavier woke up, that woman ... somehow, she was there, so Zavier thought she was the one who took care of him during the coma."
"Meanwhile, I ... "
Nayla wiped away the tears that were falling, wetting her pale cheeks.
"Sister ... Forgive me, Nayla, because of me ... You have to go through a tough marriage like this," said Nadira with teary eyes, then hugged her sister.
"No, dear. It's not your fault. Zavier is the one at fault."
"He never appreciated me while I ... I loved him so much," Nayla replied with tears in her eyes.
Her step is firm, divorce is the answer to what she must do. She couldn't accept it when her husband had already gone too far.
The image of another woman cuddling in bed with her husband deeply hurt her heart. Not to mention the image of how the woman was pampered by Zavier with gentle touches, while Zavier never treated her with love, but rather with coercion and pain that she always received from Zavier's demands, almost every moment.
Her body and soul are very tired as a woman. She can't live a life like this anymore. She felt she had to rise up and fight, and prove that Zavier's words were wrong!
She will not beg the Abraham family anymore!
The night grew colder and the two siblings cried sobbingly, spending the night together until morning, sharing stories.
Nayla spread a blanket on the floor to sleep in the same room with her younger sibling.
Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Jakarta, a black Bentley is still circling Jakarta aimlessly.
Zavier has searched for all of Nayla's friends who are still in contact with his wife. However, none of them know anything about Nayla's plans at all, let alone her whereabouts.
With a weary expression, Zavier returned to the empty house with a vacant stare. No one opened the door or even greeted.
Drrt Drrttt.
Zavier's cellphone kept ringing, but the man just stared at the screen with a cold gaze. The name Sefia Putri appeared on the screen, blinking repeatedly, but the man had no intention of speaking to anyone at the moment.
Zavier stepped into the bathroom to let the warm water soak him, but whatever misfortune he was experiencing, only cold water came out.
"Nayla! The hot water isn't coming out! It's freezing!" Zavier shouted without realizing it.
Zavier stood frozen in the bathroom after realizing Nayla's absence. "Damn! It's so cold!" Zavier hugged himself, shivering.
The man decided not to take a shower even though his body had gotten wet. He quickly left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Where is the shirt..."
Silence!!!
Zavier looked around the empty room. Usually, the pajamas are already on the bed every time he finishes showering. This reignited his emotions.
"She's so pretentious! Just wait until I find her later!" Zavier fumed, then quickly ran towards the closet and grabbed his pajamas.
"Damn!!! Where are my underwear!"
A cloudy morning and Zavier is still sound asleep even though the alarm on his phone has been ringing for a while."Nayla, tell the alarm to be quiet first!""The song earlier was truly beautiful to my ears!" Zavier shouted in his sleep.Zavier dreamed he was listening to a song sung with a beautiful melody in his ears, the voice of a girl who was very gentle and soothing. The same song that had accompanied him while he was still in a coma.'Aren't your legs tired from running? There is something they don't understand. Give yourself some time to lean for a moment, all this time you've been great ... It's just that you haven't been heard.' The melodies flew.Zavier smiled contentedly in his sleep, he really liked that song. But the alarm ringing on his phone started to feel annoying."Nayla! I told you to turn off the alarm!" Zavier sat on the bed, feeling angry because his wife still hadn't moved.Slowly, Zavier returned to consciousness. Nayla had indeed left him.Annoyed, Zavier gra
Nayla took a deep breath, trying to calm herself before starting. She looked at the microphone in front of her, feeling tense yet also full of enthusiasm to give her best.She had to do all this, she knew it would be difficult to find a job in a country ruled by the Abraham's family. But, that was not a reason for her to beg and serve Zavier again.He needs a substantial living cost, so this will be his first step towards a career.With only a few qualifications and work experience in an office, it is unlikely that she will be accepted by a company to work in an office.But, she has a melodious voice; before meeting Zavier, she often performed on stages to sing at weddings or birthday parties.With great care, she chose the song she would sing, a song that filled her heart with complex emotions.When Nayla started singing, she tried to look towa
"Listen, Nayla," Michael said with a warm voice, "I know you're in a difficult situation." Why don't you allow me to take you home? I'm sure we can chat the whole way."Nayla was surprised by the offer, but also touched by Michael's kindness. Although her heart was torn between nervousness and gratitude, she finally nodded gently."Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it," Nayla said with a voice full of gratitude."You wait for me outside. Three more people and the audition will be over," said Michael as he walked away, while Nayla returned to the waiting room where the other auditionees greeted her with annoyed faces."Why is it taking so long, huh!" An audition participant shot Nayla a displeased look and then entered the audition room according to their turn.Nayla was a bit confused because she remembered the message Michael had conveyed earlier. Should she wait?
On the other hand, Nayla really wants to try on her own and prove the potential of her talent.They continued their conversation comfortably, sharing stories and memories about their past. Laughing and joking, they seemed to forget all the problems they were facing in the outside world.A moment later, the atmosphere changed when Michael asked about Nayla's husband. "How is your husband doing?" Michael asked with a slightly heavy voice.Nayla felt a bit awkward with that question. She felt uncomfortable discussing her personal matters with Michael, even though she appreciated Michael's kindness and concern."Oh, he's busy with his work," Nayla replied awkwardly, trying to avoid the topic.Michael sensed Nayla's discomfort, but he didn't want to press her. "Sorry if I asked too much," he said softly, trying to lighten the mood.Nayla smiled faintly, feeling re
Nayla tried to remember whether she had told her sister about her plans, but she wasn't sure.The feeling of suspicion began to gnaw at her heart. She felt betrayed by someone she should have trusted. However, she also couldn't ignore the fact that her situation with Zavier had been complicated before, and perhaps Zavier had done everything possible to track her down.With a confusing mix of emotions, Nayla felt increasingly trapped in a labyrinth of complicated problems. She didn't know what to do next, but one thing was certain: she had to find a way to deal with all of this and find a way out of the increasingly worsening situation.Zavier, after closing the door and locking it from the inside, felt annoyed because he couldn't find Nayla in the room. His eyes swept the room quickly, searching for any trace of his wife's presence.However, when he heard the sound of running water coming from the ba
Zavier stared at Nayla with an intense gaze, trying to understand the meaning behind her words. However, in his own confusion and bewilderment, he couldn't contain his feelings of anger and frustration."What do you want, Nayla?" What must I do for you to come back to me?" Zavier urged with a forceful voice, confusion and misunderstanding surfacing in every word.Nayla felt suffocated by the increasing pressure. She knew that she had to think clearly and make the right decision, but in her heart, she felt trapped between lingering feelings of love and an increasingly complicated and painful reality.With a heavy heart and breathless, Nayla tried to find the courage and strength to answer Zavier's question.Nayla asserted her decision with a trembling voice, "Leave Sefia!"Hearing those words, Zavier's gentle gaze immediately changed.The man immediately relea
Nayla did not notice Zavier's presence in the room. She was too engulfed in the pain and despair that hit her. Every sob and moan that escaped her lips felt like a painful blow, reflecting the emotional devastation she felt within herself.Zavier stood at the threshold, silenced by the heartbreaking scene before his eyes. His heart felt shattered seeing his wife in deep sorrow, yet he felt powerless to provide support or comfort to Nayla.Although his heart was filled with uncertainty and confusion, Zavier approached Nayla with faltering steps. He felt a strong emotional vibration within him as he saw his wife struck by deep sorrow. Without a word, he embraced Nayla in his arms, letting their body warmth touch each other.Nayla was taken aback by Zavier's actions, feeling the tenderness in her husband's embrace. She felt shattered by the despair and sadness that overwhelmed her, but Zavier's presence gave her a bit of co
Nadira stood frozen in front of the door, holding the door frame on the opposite side as if wanting to give strength to her older sister, but seeing her sister was fine, the girl chose to comply and returned to her bedroom."Tomorrow morning I have to undergo dialysis," she murmured, then tried to sleep.Meanwhile, Nayla chose to sleep in the living room, taking an extra pillow and relying on a blanket to fend off the cold of the night in Bogor.Zavier's body is tall, standing at 185 cm. The small bed can only accommodate him, and even then, his feet will be hanging off the edge.The sound of mosquitoes buzzing in Nayla's ears forced the woman to keep her eyes open until the sun shone through the curtains covering the glass window of the simple house.Nayla sat on the sofa chair with panda-like eyes. Yawning repeatedly before finally deciding to make fried rice so that Nadira wou
***Happy ending***Zavier smiled coldly, his gaze calculating. “They conspired,” he replied in a low but firm tone. “They stole Nayla's identity and made my wife suffer through memory loss. They played with her life, erasing the precious memories we once had. If they think they can get away with it, they're sadly mistaken.”His assistant remained calm on the other end of the line, waiting for further instructions. “What is your plan, sir?”Zavier stared far ahead, his eyes filled with determination. “Reclaim her face,” he said meaningfully, ”and let the fake forget her memory. Make her feel what Nayla experienced. If they dare to take my wife's life, then I will take back what they stole. The face they created, the memories they formed... let it all crumble and perish.”His assistant nodded on the other end of the line, understanding what Zavier meant. “Yes, sir. I will arrange everything.
Sefia gasped and turned her head quickly, her eyes showing obvious shock. “Oh, Zavier... I just... had some sudden business,” she stammered. “You don't need to worry. It's just a short meeting.”However, Zavier did not simply believe her. There was something in the woman's demeanor that made him suspicious, and his desire to find out more surfaced strongly.Without saying anything else, he let Sefia go first, but not long after, Zavier got into his car and started following behind.Zavier kept his distance, making sure that Sefia did not notice his presence. He drove slowly, following Sefia's car carefully. Every turn the woman took further emphasized Zavier's suspicions. “What is she really hiding?” he muttered to himself.“She doesn't look like the Nayla that belongs to me, her eyes, her voice are different, and her height. Why did I never realize that?&rdq
“Sara, a-I'll give you an extra fee... for... for what happened last night.”Hearing that, Sara's eyes rounded and a pile of tears began to gather rapidly.Those words pierced Sara's heart. It was as if everything that happened between them was just a transaction, not something that had meaning.Her face that had been full of love turned into unbearable anger. “Pay?” she snarled in a sharp voice, her eyes looking at Bram with disappointment.“So, you think I'm just a servant who can be bought? What happened last night is just something you can pay me to erase?”Bram was silent, not expecting Sara's reaction to be that harsh. He opened his mouth, trying to find words to defuse the situation, but Sara continued before he could speak.“I'm not something you can bargain with, honorable Mr. Bram! Whatever happened last nig
His ears seemed to be deaf to the words Sara threw out. To him, in that drunken state, Sara was Nayla coming back to him, and this was a chance to embrace the woman he had been longing for.“Don't leave again, Nayla... please...” she whispered desperately, holding Sara's body on the bed. Tearing off the clothes she was wearing and starting to nuzzle Sara's slender neck.Sara tried to push Bram away, trying to snap him out of his drunken stupor. “Mr. Bram, this is not Nayla! You're drunk! Let go of me!” she said in a loud and trembling voice. However, her efforts were not strong enough to sober Bram up.Feelings of fear and confusion mixed in Sara's mind. She knew that this man was obsessed with Nayla, but she never expected to be in this situation.In a last ditch effort, she gathered all the strength she had and managed to break free from Bram's grip, roll off the bed, and escape out of the room as quickly as possible, leaving Bra
Nadia's face-or Nayla, as it often crossed his mind-was so similar to the one he remembered as the wife he loved. Not just in terms of physical appearance, but also in the way she spoke, her gentle smile, and the way she looked at Zavier as if recognizing the deepest part of his soul. Every glance, every body movement, felt like an inexplicable déjà vu.Her lips and her kiss.However, the woman now in his home-who he had always believed to be Nayla-felt different.It was as if something was missing, something unseen but felt. Her gaze was empty and distant, her touch no longer providing the warmth they once shared.“Have I been blinded by my desperation to get my wife back? Is that woman really Nayla?” Zavier thought.Zavier clasped his head with both hands, trying to calm the turmoil of his feelings. If this Nadia was the real Nayla, then who was the wo
Zavier immediately turned to Nayla, who was now sitting upright on the sofa with her hair tousled and her eyes half open. He knew that the situation could get ugly if he didn't get things under control soon.“Nayla, calm down,” he said in a soothing tone on his cell phone. “I'm helping someone who needs help. There's nothing for you to worry about.”However, those words were not enough to calm Sefia down. “Helping someone? In the middle of the night like this? And that woman's voice, why is she with you?” Sefia was getting more and more agitated, her voice portraying a burning anger and jealousy.Zavier let out a long breath, realizing that a simple explanation would not be enough to ease the anger of the woman who claimed to be his wife.“Nadia is facing a complicated situation, and I can't just leave her. Believe me, I didn't do anything wrong,” she r
Zavier looked at her deeply, as if trying to find the answer behind Nadia's eyes. “Maybe there's something in you that's more than just a similar face to Nayla. Maybe, somehow, we once had more of a connection than we realized.”“Or... are you the real Nayla?” asked Zavier, but the question was more to himself as Nadia just looked at him with a sad face.They sat in silence for a while, enjoying the warmth that still remained from that moment. Although there was a lot of confusion and questions still hanging in the air, both of them felt a strange but real bond, as if fate had brought them back together after a long time apart.The rain began to fall heavily outside, droplets soaking the windows and a soft, soothing rhythm could be heard.Zavier looked out for a moment before turning back to Nayla. Without saying much, he led her to the living room. They walked slowly, feeling the silence filled only by the sound of the rain drippi
Zavier took another step towards Nayla and said, “You rest inside and I'll take Joen home first. After that, I'll come and bring some food for you, okay?”Nayla nodded obediently and gave a warm smile and waved goodbye to Joen.They got back into the car, and Zavier drove Joen home.Along the way, his mind was spinning, thinking of the steps to take. Who exactly was the woman he brought to the empty house? Was she really the real Nayla, or just the result of Bram's crazy obsession with creating a clone?The questions kept swirling in his mind, and Zavier knew that the answers he would find might change everything.After ensuring Joen's safe return, Zavier quickly returned to the empty house. He had to talk to the woman, find out who she really was, and what was really going on. In his heart, Zavier hoped that the truth, no matter how hard it was, would come out so that everyone involved could find the peace that had been taken from thei
Having run out of steam to vent his anger, Bram shuffled towards his room. The door slammed loudly behind him, signaling that he didn't want to be disturbed.Sara stood at the door, while several servants began to organize to clean up the broken glass scattered in the living room.Moments later, there was the sound of a bottle being opened and the smell of alcohol spreading from behind the door. Bram took a rough swig of liquor, trying to shake off the deep frustration and emptiness.He felt like he had done everything-transforming Sefia into Nayla's likeness, and thinking he could slowly possess Nayla-but in reality, the real Nayla still eluded him.In that dark room, Bram felt completely defeated. No matter how much he tried to control the situation, reality always made him feel like he was chasing a shadow that he could never reach.The man occasionally shouted, startling Sara. However, the woman remained faithful and behind the door of the room
