《The Amazing Process For Marrying You》


 Chapter 1：One Night Stand ( 1 )

    "Don''t forget to put stimulants in the man''s drink." A thug shows a man drinking in front of the bartender. The Malay man glanced sharply at a drunk man. You can see the man''s gaze is empty. Fill the void with drinking.


    "Our plan must go smoothly." The man gives medicine and tips to a bartender.


    Rere was shocked when she heard the words of the man. She looked at the man''s forefinger. The girl is shocked. Rere knows a man who will be framed. That man is Dino Putra Chaniago. Dino is a CEO at Rere''s internship. Rere knew the man very well, although she never greeted him.


    Dino is every woman''s dream man in the office. Even though Dino is married and has children, still female employees idolize him. The man was very friendly, but unfortunately, never open with his problems. Until now the employees do not know who the man''s wife is. The man only introduced the child.


    Rere is at the bar because she just had a party with her college friends. Adolescents who live in countries have a free life because they live far from their parents.


    Being rich from birth made her able to do anything. The inheritance of the father''s seven generations will not run out. Rere is used to drinking wine because she likes fun, the term cool is clubbing. The hedonic lifestyle is inherent in her. Come to the bar to get rid of fatigue after a long day of internship or college.


    Rere comes from Surabaya. Her late father was one of the city''s most influential tycoons. Now the mother has remarried. Her stepfather is very kind and already thinks of Rere as her child. Her stepbrother is very kind even though he is sick now.


    These few days Dino has been diligently coming to the bar to drink. A man with a height of 180 cm, brown eyes. Releasing the hurt that was suffering him. Only alcohol is his friend, releasing fatigue and wounds in his heart.


    His eyes were blank, there was no spirit to live. Her heart was broken and dead. The man drinks up to the third bottle. He drank wine with high alcohol content.


    "Go. Put this drug in the drink!"


    The bartender smiled happily as he received stimulants and tips. The bartender left, approached Dino. The man smiled slyly as he grinned.


    Rere''s human spirit was awakened. Even though Dino was cold and not close to the employees, he was a very kind man. Rere overheard the conversation of the man who was going to trap Dino.


    "Calm down, my lord. I have given him an incentive. If the antidote prevails, we will make a raid to bring in journalists. I hired the woman that night to help with our design." The man spoke the Malay Language.


    Rere was suddenly shocked. Her heart almost stopped beating. How could that person trap Dino, even though that man is a very good boss?


    The bartender was ordered by the foreign man to pour stimulants into Dino''s drink, as the man added to his drink. The man was drunk so he didn''t see the bartender putting something in his drink.


    Before Dino drank the drink the bartender gave him, Rere grabbed the glass. Act as a bad girl so the bartender doesn''t get suspicious. The bartender was annoyed to see Rere. Suspicion arose. Do not want his efforts to fail the man


    "Forgive me drinking your drink, sir? Looks good." Rere bravely took a sip of the wine that had been laced with the stimulant to a half.


    "How dare you drink my drink?" Dino grabbed his drink from Rere''s hand then drank it up.


    Rere was shocked when Dino finished it all. Rere was used to drinking so she was not too drunk, but the heat was overpowering her. Rere realized her stupidity. Why is she drinking that drink? Dino is a little stifling. Warding off the bartender''s suspicions, Rere grabbed his boss''s hand. Rere''s time is short to save Dino from his enemy.


    Rere carried Dino to his car. He put one hand of Dino on his shoulder, his handheld Dino''s body. He grabbed the man by the waist and led him to run.


    Rere knew what kind of trap they were going to do with the boss. They must have tricked the boss with a perverted video scandal to bring down the man''s career.


    "Where is the house, sir?" Asked Rere when his consciousness was still stable. Even though she was drunk and her body itchy, Rere was still able to drive the car.


    "Don''t come to my house. Take me to apartment B," the boss said hoarsely.


    "Yes sir. It is better." Rere pressed the pedal. She swerved to leave the bar. They had to leave immediately before those people realized that Dino was no longer there.


    "What did you do that they wanted to frame you?" Occasionally Rere saw Dino who was already a drunk. The man is asleep in the back seat. Dino squirmed uncomfortably because of the heat he felt the stimulating effect.


    Rere driving the car at high speed must leave immediately before the person who trapped Dino realized that his target was missing.


    Rere brought Dino to his apartment. Fortunately, the keys to Dino''s apartment use fingerprints so that girls don''t have to bother looking for keys. Her mind was messed up. The stimulating effect was felt on her body, as well as Dino. Their bodies are hot and feel itchy in some parts.


    Rere was shaken and a drunk like Dino. Rere walked unsteadily. She had to hold onto the wall so that her body didn''t collapse.


    Dino pulled Rere''s hand towards his room. They were burning with passion. Their eyes clouded with passion. Dino took off his top clothes to reveal his broad chest. Rere was getting excited, her brain and body were out of sync. Her heart rejects it but the body craves. Dino crushed Rere''s lips fiercely. Instead of avoiding Rere, she enjoyed the courtesy of the man. Instead, she put her arm around Dino''s neck.


    Rere sighed as Dino explored her neck. The man took off Rere''s clothes one by one.

 Chapter 2：One Night Stand ( 2 )

    "Unfortunately you finally came home. I miss you." Dino giggled and untied Rere''s hair. The girl''s hair fell. Her hair was flying, looking sexy in Dino''s eyes. The man was even crying caressing Rere''s cheek.


    "Yes, dear. I''m home," replied Rere in a hoarse voice.


    Both are controlled by lust and passion. The two of them made love like a husband and wife who were letting go of longing. Need each other. Their sighs shouted under the covers. There is no shame even though they are not close to each other. Only Rere knew who the man was hanging out with her. The man is hallucinating, assuming the woman who is with him is his wife who has died.


    Dino sighed, trying to assuage his rising desire. He removed the sling on Rere then looked at the girl with a look that was difficult to understand. Wants to stop but his lower body takes another action. Dino approached Rere, embracing the girl longingly. Take off the clothes attached to the girl''s body one by one, then let it lie on the floor. His eyes were shrouded in a fog of passion. He could not resist the desire that was afflicting him. His body is very hot, it needs to be removed. He could not look away when he saw that Rere''s body was only wrapped in a bra and panties.


    The cleavage of the girl was very tantalizing. Dino buried his head on the two twin hills of Rere. He kissed her lovingly, then took off her bra. The hill is so tantalizing, ripe with a white chest that puffs out.


    Which man is not tempted and tempted to find a very beautiful sight? Unable to control me. Dino''s kiss moved from his chest to Rere''s lips. He crushed it, took a bite, and sucked it deeply. Dino even grabbed Rere''s nape to deepen the kiss.


    Rere could not hold back the turmoil in his body. Burning desire wants to be finished and satisfied. A soft moaning sound escaped his mouth, making Dino''s passion rise towards the peak.


    The man''s hand squeezed Rere''s chest, then his mouth crushed the top of the girl''s chest like a nursing baby. Rere''s sigh got louder, she even squeezed Dino''s hair. Want more and want more. It feels very delicious and exciting. Cannot wait Dino pushed Rere to bed. Complain place that has not been used for a long time. He crushed Rere''s body.


    "Touch me, please ..." whining spoiled Rere could not hold back the turmoil in his body. Dino''s hands explored Rere''s skin.


    "Of course dear. I will touch you. I miss you. I miss touching your body. Take me to the bed of love." Dino positioned himself between Rere''s legs.


    The man removed the last cloth on Rere''s body, burying his head in the center of Rere''s core. Playing there until Rere screamed deliciously. Pressing down on the man''s head to further explore his heaven.


    Without disgust, Dino explored every inch of Rere''s core. There was no sound, only sighs, and groans as the man''s tongue explored Rere''s core. In one hand the man squeezed the top of Rere''s chest until the woman''s pleasure increased many times. This is a first for Rere, but he is already addicted. It turns out that physical touch like this is very delicious, taking him to fly to the seventh heaven. It can''t be described in words.


    Dino''s desire rose wildly when he heard the sound of a delicious sigh from Rere''s mouth. He smelled her scent through her core. Dino couldn''t wait. He lifted his head from the core of Rere''s body. He stabbed Rere until the woman screamed in pain. Rere stiffened, could not describe his condition. Influenced by stimulants until he forgot the lust was ensnaring him. Dino continued to move even though Rere was slightly grimacing and crying. Dino moved fast. No longer listening to the cry of the woman. The cry was replaced with a longing sigh. Want to be touched and continue to be touched.


    Without warning, the two bodies joined in burning desire. They are like crazy people playing a game of love that gets more and more exciting. They enjoy love, even though there is no love in their hearts. Only two strangers give each other pleasure.


    Dino blinked, clearing his eyesight. Who is the girl he entered? Why is it different? Unlike the woman who is longed for. This girl is more enjoyable and exciting than her love. Dino felt a passionate passion for sex. After thousands of full moons, he found his desire again. Only a few weeks did not kiss a woman to make his passion rise. Somehow he wanted and wanted to be satisfied. The woman resigns under his confinement.


    "Akh ...." Rere''s sigh got louder as the pain in her core replaced with endless pleasure.


    Dino devoured the top of Rere''s chest which was inflated. What a shame to miss. Even though their lower bodies are fused there is nothing wrong with seeking satisfaction from other bodies.


    The taste cannot be described in words. Rere never felt a sensation like this. This is the first time for him but he feels very good.


    "Just take it out. Soon you will have a release." Dino stabbed his body deeper. He wanted to achieve his first release.


    The next day Dino was shocked, woke up naked, and hugged a woman. He held his head which hurt the effect of drinking wine.


    "Who are you?" He asked, shaking Rere''s sleeping body. The girl woke up and screamed hysterically when she realized that her body was without a single thread.


    "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Rere''s eyes widened to realize the man sleeping beside her. The girl is curled up in the blanket. Shame found herself not dressed with a strange man even though she knew who Dino was.


    "From your accent. Are you Indonesian?"


    "Yes," replied Rere quietly. She looked down and did not dare to look at the man.


    "That means you are in the same country with me. I am a Padang person."


    "I''m Surabaya."


    Rere and the man talking in the living room. They look awkward with each other. They are not children who do not understand what happened between them last night.


    "Why were you with me last night?" There was a feeling of regret inside Dino that he had taken away a girl''s chastity. He knew that the girl was still a virgin when he saw the bloodstains on the sheets.

 Chapter 3：Trauma ( 1 )

    "We''re drunk," replied Rere holding back her tears. Cursed her stupidity for surrendering her virginity to a foreign man. If only she hadn''t been a fairy godmother, maybe last night''s events wouldn''t have happened.


    "We''re drunk Mr. Dino¡­ .." Rere blurted out calling the man''s name.


    "You know who I am?" Dino was shocked. "Is this a ploy to ensnare me? So that I marry you and you want to take the property?" The accusation was cruel.


    "I''m not that despicable. Watch your words, sir."


    "Then after this happens you won''t hold me accountable? I''m sure you have set me up. This is an old tactic played by women from the lower classes to become rich people."


    A slap landed on the CEO''s cheek. Rere did not accept being insulted. She should have been angry because his crown had been taken away, but the boss even accused him of being nonsense. Which woman is not hurt? Her heart was willing to help, but she even got accusations that were not wearing it. Rere took the bag then left the man''s apartment.


    "Where are you going?"


    "I''m going home," Rere replied curtly. She walked wobbly because his groin was still sore.


    "Our business is not finished."


    "It''s over for me. I can''t accept your insult. I swear I''ll never show my face in front of you again."


    "If you are pregnant what? I do not wear safety." The man softened. Restores hair and rubs his face.


    "I won''t hold you accountable." Rere''s heart was hurt leaving the man just like that.


    "Dammit," said Rere crying, slamming the apartment door.


    Eyes were swollen from crying. Since earlier her private driver glanced from the windshield of the car. Uncle Mutu, that is how the man of Indian descent is called Rere. The man has been her private driver since studying in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


    "Rere. Why have you been silent all this time? What''s happening to you? You are not like usual? " Uncle Mutu the courage to ask. The man already considered Rere like his own child. Ainil, Rere''s mother entrusted him so that uncle Mutu took care of her daughter while in KL.


    "Not why uncle. Don''t worry about me. I am doing fine."


    "Where did you come from last night? Why don''t you come home? "


    "I slept at a friend''s house."


    No more talks between uncle Mutu. The two of them were silent until they reached the apartment. Rere looked restless and sad. Immediately she opened the door to her apartment which was locked via a password. Rere entered the room then went to the bathroom.


    Rere bathing under the shower. She sobbed. This is not what she wants. She just wanted to help, why be stuck in love one night with the man she helped? Rere is the type of woman who is tired or easily offended. She did not accept the man''s words. Set him up for treasure. Don''t want to be arrogant. From birth, Rere was already rich. How disgusting that man. If you knew this was going to happen, maybe Rere would never help that man.


    "Stupid, I''m stupid." Rere lamented her fate. Her tears broke like a creek. He felt dirty and despicable. Those who do not deserve it have taken away its sanctity. The chastity she guards for her husband''s sake has been taken away by this man.


    "I''m dirty," shrieked Rere, banging her head against the bathroom wall until her temples were bleeding.


    "Rere what happened?" Tia, Rere''s best friend, went into the bathroom when she heard Rere''s cries and screams.


    Tia touched Rere''s cheek. She looked at Rere''s eyes deeply, trying to find the root of the problem Rere was experiencing.


    "Tia." Rere hugged Tia tightly.


    "What''s up Re?" Tia wondered and was surprised by the change in her best friend''s attitude. Last night Rere was still fine. They laughed together enjoying the glitter of KL city. What''s wrong?


    "I''m dirty Tia." Rere''s body slumped to the floor.


    "Why Re? The story with me? " Tia sat on the floor with Rere. Both were wet in the shower. "Why did you disappear last night? I even found your cellphone in the parking lot of the bar. What''s wrong, Re?"


    With trembling lips, Rere told what happened to her and Dino. Body Tia immediately went limp after listening to Rere''s confession. Se can see if her friend is depressed. What trials will come for Rere after the assassination attempt that befell her a week ago? It all happened because Rere saved someone. She was wanted by the killer because she was an eyewitness to the murder and saved one of the victims.


    "You traumatized Re. Everything will be fine. I''m with you."


    Tia knows that her best friend is traumatized and depressed. Rere''s bad luck happened because she helped people. Rere a very sensitive person and care about other people.


    Tia helped Rere to take a shower and then put her clothes on. Tia also treats Rere''s bleeding temple. Rere was still sobbing when Tia cleaned her wound.


    "I''m dirty." Rere''s breath was short.


    "Don''t talk about it again. You''re not dirty. Just bad luck. You''re too good a human. You are too sensitive and care about people. "


    Tia rushed to the kitchen to make breakfast for Rere. How could Rere not be stressed if her chastity was tarnished? Rere also witnessed the death of famous Malaysian artist Ananya Shyla.


    "Eat first Re." Tia brings fried rice.


    Rere was just silent, ignoring Tia. The girl was still in shock at what happened to her. How could Rere have had this bad thing?


    "What did I do wrong?" Rere looked at Tia.


    "What mistake?"


    "Why is everyone helping my people have bad luck?"


    "You, don''t be shit, Re. Just a coincidence." She stroked Rere''s arm lightly.


    "I don''t know what else to do. Why did everything happen? "


    "Patience Re. This is a test for you. Let''s eat?" Tia approached then fed Rere to eat.


    "I don''t want." Rere shook her head.


    "You have to eat so you don''t get sick. Later your ulcer will recur. "


    "Tia." Rere was crying again.


    Tia puts the spoon on the plate. She hugged Rere and encouraged her.


    "Who wants to marry me? I''m not holy anymore. "


    "This marriage is not because we are still virgins or not but hearts." Tia touched Rere''s chest.


    "For Indonesian men, virginity is important. I...¡­." Rere sobbed.


    "What about Angga?" Rere remembered her lover.

 Chapter 4：Trauma ( 2 )

    "Forget about him for a while. First, you have to recover mentally. This is not easy for you. I understand and understand what happened. You are traumatized."


    "Help me."


    "I will help you. I will be by your side. Trust me. I will protect you no matter what. "


    When night fell Rere screamed while sleeping. She''s a nightmare. The hot romance she had with Dino flashed through her memory. Feeling dirty and despicable from enjoying what happened that night.


    "No, no¡­." Rere shrieked holding her head.


    "What is wrong?" Tia wakes up from sleep.


    "Why is that man present in my dream. I don''t want to remember that damned night. I don''t want to," said Rere like a crazy person.


    "Calm down Re." Tia hugged her friend to not craze.


    ***


    The Past Week ....


    Rere just got home hanging out with friends at the office. This time Rere brought a motorbike, did not want to be picked up and escorted by Uncle Mutu. A staff in his department has been promoted. They celebrate at a Korean restaurant. They sing and eat together. The clock shows ten in the evening KL time. The seniors in the office had offered to take Rere home but the girl refused because she could go home alone.


    When she arrived at a bridge, Rere suddenly braked her motorbike. She saw a red car overturned. Billowing smoke. She was shocked and shocked. Confused by what happened. Rere like a man out of her mind.


    "Gesa," called the woman who was driving the car. Her body was covered in blood. Panting breath It was difficult to just breathe. The pain she felt all over her body. She hit his head when the car flipped over. The woman has tried to master the terrain, but unfortunately, the car brakes failed.


    "Yes, Sister. Hold on."


    "It seems like someone wants to kill my husband," said Ananya in a low voice. She spoke with difficulty.


    "Don''t talk like that, sister. Maybe there''s a little mistake."


    "If this car is taken by my husband. You know what will happen. Is this because I reject the love of that crazy man?"


    "Don''t talk like that. Siter kids hold on." Gesa held Ananya.


    "Y ¡ª take care of my husband and children," said Ananya haltingly. She breathed her last while holding Gesa''s hand.


    "Sister, don''t talk like that. We''ll be safe." Gesa sobbed.


    Three masked men got out of the car. The three of them had followed where they had been since earlier. Gesa felt a danger signal. She saw the three men. Gesa a smart girl. She immediately understood why their car''s brakes were suddenly broken, it turned out to be sabotaged. Gesa hid behind the car so that the three men didn''t see her while observing the situation.


    "In the end, this woman died too. She was too arrogant. She shouldn''t be the victim, but what else can I do. Where''s the wine?" One of the criminals said.


    His partner gave wine, then the man drank it to corpse Ananya''s.


    "The police will identify him as a drunken accident. Perfect."


    Gesa''s body was shaking violently at the fact of the accident that had happened to them. This accident had been planned as Ananya had thought. Gesa was too scared to make a sound. The girl immediately ran away when the three criminals noticed her existence.


    "Chase her. Don''t let go."


    Gesa fled as fast as possible so that the three men couldn''t catch her. Gesa will not let Ananya be slandered. Even though Ananya has passed away, she will not let the public blaspheme the artist because her image has been good.


    "Hey ladies, stop!" Shrieked one of the bandits giving off warning shots.


    Gesa accelerated her run even more. She was afraid that one day the man shot her. Gesa realizes she is facing an assassin. Even though her body is injured in an accident, Gesa is determined to live. She will not let her boss''s reputation be tarnished. Gesa fell on the asphalt. The man approached her.


    "You know too much." The bandit boss put the gun to Gesa''s forehead.


    The girl resigned to meet her end. Gesa closed her eyes waiting for the bandit''s bullet to penetrate her head. But for a few moments, the bullet never went through her head. Gesa opened her eyes. The bandit who was going to shoot her was injured.


    "Hurry up and get on my bike, sis," said Rere, helping out. Rere finally realized from her reverie. Rere ran into the bandit to save Gesa.


    Without thinking, Gesa got on Rere''s motorbike. The other two bandits blocked Rere''s motorbike, but the girl was reckless and hit the two bandits until they fell like a boss.


    Rere continued to drive the motorbike fast. She brought a motorbike like in a racing arena. The three bandits chased him in a car. Despite her fears, Rere still drove the motorbike away from criminals. Gesa tightly held Rere''s waist afraid to fall. The girl did not want to leave Ananya alone but her life was in danger.


    "Stop," shouted one of the bandits from the top of the car. He tried to shoot Rere, but the girl saw the direction of the shot from the motorcycle rearview mirror. He managed to avoid the shot.


    Rere looked straight ahead. She heard the sound of the train. She increased speed and then passed the train crossing. Bandits bite their fingers because they cannot catch up with them. After all, a train is passing.


    "You''re looking for them until you can. Kill them!"


    Rere took Gesa to her apartment. The girl was shivering with fear. She didn''t want to talk even like a dazed person. The attempted murder adds to Gesa''s trauma. She became an eyewitness to the murder of Ananya.


    Tia, Rere''s best friend, gives Gesa a drink.


    "You drink it."


    Gesa looked at Tia with a gaze. She does not know what fate will befall her in the future.

    "How come?"

    "If you are pregnant with her child, how about Re?"


    "Don''t talk about it, Tia. I don''t want to hear." Rere closed her ears. She cried sadly in Tia''s arms." I''m not pure. I''m dirty Tia. What if Angga finds out if I''ve slept with another man?"

They both were interning the requirements for the final assignment from campus. Rere asked Tia to take care of moving places. apprentice. Luckily, Rere''s parents had a strong connection so it was easy to do it.


    Rere still closed her eyes. Still can''t forget the events of that night. Cursed herself for acting like a naughty woman that night. No denying that that night enjoyed what that man was doing. Rere shook her head, realizing that what she was doing was due to the influence of drugs. If only time could be played maybe she would not help the man.


    Without realizing it, a man entered her apartment. The man staggered the effect of drinking wine. He stepped into Rere''s room. it opened the guest room, empty ..... No one.


    The man opened the door to the main room. Smiling sweetly when he saw Rere was still asleep in the room. look like a baby blanket. The man removed Rere''s blanket then lay down next to her. The man smelled Rere''s hair.


    "Why are you avoiding me Re? I miss you, honey. Why have you been so weird these past few weeks? " The man approached then moved to kiss Rere''s lips.


    "What are you doing?" Rere woke up from his sleep because of the man''s touch. She pushed the man until he fell out of bed.


    "Are you drunk?" Rere covered her nose. The smell of alcohol is very strong.


    Angga hugged Rere''s body tightly. He showered Rere''s cheek with a kiss. Not happy, but Rere disgusted. She slapped Angga until the man staggered.


    "Get out of here!" Rere drove Angga away.


    Angga approached him again. Rere stepped back to avoid Angga.


    "Why did you change Re? You already ignored me Re. What did I do wrong Re?"


    "You don''t do anything wrong. Get out of here. "


    "Why?"


    "None of your business."


    "Of course my business because I''m your boyfriend."


    "I asked to break up. We don''t have a relationship anymore." Rere spontaneously asked to break up.


    "Are you cheating on me? You already have another guy? " Angga is getting drunk. His body was getting dazed. He returned to Rere but the woman threw a bolster.


    "Go away from here." Shouted Rere hysterically. Angga''s eyes grin like a masher man. The man''s gaze seemed to eat it whole. Rere was scared, keeping her distance from Angga without realizing her body hit the wall.


    "You''re silent means you''re really cheating." Angga is angry. The man throws everything that is on the nightstand.


    Rere is increasingly scared to see Anga''s attitude. The man was not like the lover she knew. Rere sobbed. The trauma is still there.


    "You are mine. Cannot be owned by other people. I will make you mine. "


    "No," shrieked Rere running towards the exit. Angga that he knows has turned into a monster.


    Angga managed to intercept Rere. He hugged Rere from behind then lifted her up. The girl was thrown roughly onto the bed. Angga opened her shirt, showing the torn bread.


    Angga crushed him. Tried to kiss Rere even though the girl always avoided her. Rere even slapped Angga. Not that it stopped the man from getting brutal. He forcibly removed Rere''s pajamas. Rere crossed his arms over his chest when Angga managed to remove her top clothes.


    "Do not do it," Rere asked.


    "You are the only mine," said Angga. Its eyes flashed like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey.


    "Don''t Angga. You''re a good person," Rere squeaked when Angga forcefully kissed his lips.


    "Help me......¡­..," shouted Rere loudly. Angga stroked his whole body even the man squeezed the two twin mountains. Rere''s tears were getting hysterical. Feeling humiliated and humiliated by her lover.


    "No one will help you. You''re mine."


    Angga is ready to take off his pants. Rere is getting hysterical with Angga''s recklessness. Disappointed and injured, the lover who had been so dear to her was a bastard. Even though the man was drunk, Rere couldn''t understand it.


    Durr ......


    Someone hit Angga''s head with a vase until the man passed out.


    "Tia." Rere cried with emotion. Got up from the bed and hugged her best friend tightly.


    "Don''t be afraid everything is fine." Tia stroked Rere''s head. "I''ll take care of this trash."

 Chapter 7：Streak of Misfortune

    "Dian you take care of all the projects in KL. I trust all of you. My condition is not yet fit to travel far. " Bara looked at Dian, the former secretary who is now the marketing director.


    "Fine boss. I will finish all the projects there. "


    "Tickets already booked? Is it okay for Alana and Zico to be left behind? Only two days. "


    "I ordered the ticket, boss. It''s okay, boss. Alana is a smart kid. "


    "Rere asked me to hire his best friend as my secretary."


    "Who is the boss?" Dian stared.


    "Tia''s name. Rere recommends. There''s no way you can concurrently be the secretary and marketing director. It''s not funny. "


    "Can she really be a secretary? I''m afraid she''s not like me. "


    "You teach Dian. Anyway, she has to be as smart and agile as you. Soon Rere will graduate. "


    "When is the boss?"


    "Two more months."


    "At least I will teach her to manage the company her father''s legacy. It is time for her to lead the company. Mom handed over the company to me. Honestly, I can''t handle everything. Rere had to jump right in. I will teach her myself. Don''t forget to look at Rere. Is she okay? "


    "Looks like the boss loves the boss''s step-sister. Does the boss like her? " Dian teases Bara.


    "Don''t be crazy. I love her like a younger sister. My wife''s whereabouts are not clear. Don''t makeup stories. Rere makes me feel like I have a sister. "


    Dian was silent when Bara discussed his wife. Bara lost his memory because he was shot by a political opponent. Bara is a former politician. The man knocked many people down so that his enemies were everywhere. The shooting incident made him lose his memory and even forget who his wife was. It so happened that Bara''s wife left him for a reason. His wife has been gone for a year but her whereabouts have not been found.


    *******


    Rere shivered to look at Angga who was lying weakly on the floor. Tia cleans the man''s wound. Do not forget to bandage the wound of the man. Tia called uncle Mutu to bring Angga back to his house.


    "What happened?" Uncle Mutu looked at Angga who was lying unconscious.


    "He tried to **** Rere," said Tia honestly.


    "WTF." Uncle Mutu caught emotion.


    "Uncle already. Rere is still in shock. Take Angga to his house. He''s drunk. " Tia says.


    "You and Rere?"


    "We''re okay."


    Uncle Mutu took Angga to the car. The Indian man was very upset with Angga. How dare that man abuse his employer''s child. The half-hearted man delivered Angga. Pissed off, Uncle Quality only put Angga in front of the boarding house door. Angry and disappointed of course. Fortunately, Angga has not had time to do it to Rere.


    Rere is still in shock. She asked Tia to change her cell phone number. The trauma is still there. Rere does not want to know and have a relationship with Angga. The man should have protected her not damaged her. If only Tia didn''t come on time, she might experience trauma and stress. Her hands were still shaking.


    "Re .....," Tia quietly called her best friend.


    "Tia," said Rere quietly.


    "Don''t be afraid. Everything is fine. You''re safe. "


    "I''m afraid Tia. I''m afraid¡­ " Rere was still crying.


    "I am beside you. Don''t be afraid. "


    The door to their apartment was forced open. The sound of the door being smashed could be heard clearly. Rere got up and approached Tia. She was scared.


    "Find the woman. Don''t get away, "said one foreign man.


    "We have to kill the two women. She is the main witness to the death of Ananya. Don''t let the public know what happened. Let the public know that the arrogant artist died in an accident, not murdered. "


    Tia and Rere trembled at the man''s words. Rere almost screamed, fortunately, Tia immediately closed her mouth.


    "Calm down Re. If you panic they''ll find us. Let''s hide. They are looking for you and Gesa. " Tia helps Rere to hide. They hide in the ardrobe. Luckily the wardrobe was big so the two of them could enter.


    The men destroy Rere''s apartment.


    "WTF. Where are they?"


    "No boss. Where are they?"


    "Search until you can. There''s no way they can get away from here. Kill them before talking to reporters. The boss will punish us if this mission fails. "


    "Fine boss."


    The bandits scrambled the whole room. Empty, no people. Tia and Rere peeked from behind the closed cupboard door. Their breaths were gasping. They are afraid of the dangers that are lurking.


    Rere''s hands broke out in cold sweat. The men destroyed all the items in Rere''s room. They were annoyed that they did not find Rere or Gesa. One of the criminals got suspicious of the cupboard. He opened the cupboard door. Tia and Rere covered their mouths with their hands so that the criminals wouldn''t feel their breath. The man''s steps stopped. Trying to get rid of clothes. Tia and Rere are shaking and hope the men leave.


    There was a commotion outside. The man who was about to unpack the cupboard turned outside.


    "What happened?"


    "That''s the boss." His men were shocked to see a woman and a man taking one of the men hostage by placing a gun over his head.


    "Who are you?"


    "I have to ask who you are? How dare you destroy this place." The woman stared sarcastically.


    "Girls don''t play with us."


    "I never mess around. Why are you guys here? " The woman gripped her hostage''s neck tightly. She wanted to give the criminal shock therapy.


    "Do not interfere. You don''t know who we are. If you still interfere. Your life is in danger. "


    "To hell with you." The woman spat.


    "How dare you."


    "Of course I dare." The girl shot the boss in the leg. Everyone was shocked by the woman''s reckless action.


    Tia and Rere were shocked to hear gunshots. They hugged scared.


    "Tia we have to escape from here. We''re not safe here. They have found my whereabouts. "


    "Good. We run off the balcony. Where are we going?"


    "Just go to the hospital. The place where Gesa is treated. "


    Both of them carefully got out of the cupboard. Open the bedroom window quietly so as not to make a sound. Tia and Rere jumped from one floor to another. The two of them stopped a taxi when they reached the bottom. Meanwhile at Rere''s apartment there had been a riot.


    "You''re a devil." The man holds his injured leg. "How dare you shoot me. Kill her."


    The woman was not scared at all. Give warning shots. No one dared to approach her. When one of the man''s men was about to open fire, the woman was more agile to shoot first. One bullet lodged in the man''s head.


    The criminals are shocked to see their friend has become a corpse. Panic and fear, realizing the woman in front of them is not just anyone. They took the bodies and their boss who was injured from the apartment. The woman also released her hostage. The man ran scurrying after his friend.


    "Mrs, you scare me." Uncle Quality is sound.


    "Why do they want to finish off Rere? Where are they?" Dian ran into the room. She saw the window was open.


    "They''ve run away," squeaked Dian languidly.


    "They were here Mrs."


    "They ran away Uncle. What really happened?"


    "Rere brought a woman named Gesa to live here. The woman is depressed. "


    "Was that man related to a woman named Gesa?"


    "I think so Mrs. Rere weird lately. Earlier her boyfriend almost raped her. Luckily Tia came on time. "


    "****?"


    "Yes, Mrs. Almost."


    "Oh, my God." Dian pats her forehead. "Looks like Bara has a bond with Rere. No wonder he asked me to see the condition of his sister. Something''s not right. Why didn''t Rere report this incident to her brother? Why are you silent?"


    "Rere doesn''t want to add to Mr. Bara''s thoughts. I think that''s Mom. "


    "We have to find Rere and Tia. They must be returned to Jakarta immediately. KL is no longer safe for them. "


    "It''s better like that, Mrs. Danger here. "


    "We have to find them."


    Not safe in the hospital. The bandits already knew about Gesa''s whereabouts. A man strangled Gesa''s neck so that the woman could not breathe.


    "You know too much. You must die. "


    "Do not kill me." Gesa shook her head. Her tears broke out at the memory of Ananya''s death before her eyes. Gesa thought of her father and mother.


    Tia and Rere, who had just entered Gesa''s room, were shocked to find the man choking Gesa''s neck until the woman floated.


    "Help¡­.. .... There is an attempted murder." Shouts Tia calling people in hospital.


    "WFT. We." The man went berserk. Releasing the grip on Gesa. The man comes out of the window.


    Nurses and hospital security immediately approached Gesa who was out of breath.


    "Where is the criminal?" The security guard asks Tia and Rere.


    "Out of the window."


    "Gesa, are you okay?" Rere asked about Gesa''s condition.


    "Sister, this is my fate." Gesa cried hugging Rere tightly.


    "This hospital is not safe. We have to get out of here. " Rere looked at Tia asking for an opinion.


    "Right. We have to get out of here. "

 Chapter 8：Return to Jakarta

    Tia and Rere ran out of breath. Gesa separated from them. When they were about to leave the hospital it turned out that the criminals were still waiting. The taxi they were riding in turned out to have been sabotaged. Taxi drivers are criminals. They were taken to a quiet place. They ran apart to save themselves.


    They were forced to save themselves. Gesa ran into the forest. Tia and Rere also entered the forest but they ran in the opposite direction to Gesa.


    They ventured into the forest to avoid the criminals. What dreams Rere could have had this bad incident. Successful exams came to her. Oh my God¡­ ..Rere said to herself.


    The two increasingly entered the forest. They ignored the sound of warning shots as if the fear had disappeared. Rere''s leg was in pain from being stabbed by a sharp rock. They both did not wear sandals because they took off while running.


    Rere and Tia arrived in front of a river. They immediately finished their thirst by drinking river water. Dark and tense atmosphere without lighting. The fear seemed to disappear. The important thing is they survived the criminal''s chase.


    Tia and Rere soak their feet in the water. Their leg muscles relax from being worn all day long.


    "Gesa where is she?" Rere is still thinking about the fate of other people. It''s good to be too excited.


    "Let''s just pray that Gesa can run away like us."


    "Tia, should we just report to the police?"


    "It could be Re, but I''m not sure the police will accept our report. I think killer Ananya''s wanted to kill both of you. This murder mastermind was no ordinary person. He must have a strong connection. Seeing the criminals, they look like Royal people. "


    "Huss. Don''t talk carelessly Tia. "


    "I''m not talking carelessly. My feelings say so. "


    "How about our college?"


    "Our lives are more valuable than college. Your family connections can help us go to college anywhere. "


    "Responsibility. We''ll be graduating soon. "


    "What responsibility do you want your life to be at stake?"


    Rere was silent. She took in Tia''s words.


    "How do we get back Tia? They already know my apartment. "


    "Tomorrow we think. Tomorrow morning we have to get out of the forest. We don''t go any deeper. I''m afraid if we get further away and can''t get out of the forest because we got lost. "


    "You are right."


    When they are asleep sleeping. They listen to a woman''s scream. Tia and Rere wake up. They are alert.


    "That''s not Gesa''s voice," Rere said.


    Rere and Tia looked at each other. They could vaguely see Gesa running away from the criminals. Panic, of course, they panic.


    "Geez. They are eager to find us, "said Tia quietly.


    Gesa continued to avoid the criminals. Even though her feet hurt from running barefoot. The girl is determined to live to reveal the death of Ananya''s. Until whenever she will not be willing if Ananya is blasphemed by society. The reputation that had been built had been destroyed by slander.


    "Tia, Rere," called Gesa when approaching the two. The three of them embraced emotionally.


    "Are you okay?" Rere looked at Gesa.


    "Forgive me. Because of me, Ananya in danger. You can leave me. "


    "Never mind. Don''t talk about this. We have to get out of here. "


    The three of them ran into the forest. The criminals gave warning shots so they wouldn''t run. Rere fell because he tripped over a rock. Gesa and Tia help them. The criminals aimed a gun at Rere. When the man was about to open fire someone hit the man in the head until he was unconscious.


    "Uncle Mutu," said Tia and Rere.


    "Are you all right?" Uncle Quality is close to all three.


    The sound of gunfire was heard shouting at each other. It looks like there is a great battle going on.


    "What''s that sound Uncle?" Rere was terrified to hear screams and moans for help.


    "No need to worry. That''s reinforcements. Why can''t your number Uncle call? "


    "I changed the number."


    "Get out of here. I''ll take you to a safe place. "


    The three of them came out of the forest. They stared in horror at the criminals'' corpses. Bodies lined the road.


    "Uncle how it is. I fear." Rere closed his eyes and did not dare to look at the corpses.


    "No need to worry. Someone helped clean up. "


    The three of them trembled. Their breath fluctuates. Tonight was the most dramatic night of their life. Uncle Quality took them to a place with tight guards.


    "Who are they, Uncle?" Rere saw many cars accompanying them.


    "Do not be afraid. They help protect all of you. "


    "Thank you, Uncle." Gesa cried with emotion. "All because of me. If only Rere didn''t help me that night maybe you wouldn''t be in trouble. "


    "Do not talk like that."


    Rere, Gesa, and Tia could breathe a sigh of relief. The three of them lay on the mattress. Meanwhile, they can sleep peacefully. The effect of fatigue, the three of them fell asleep without having time to take a shower.


    In the morning Uncle Mutu prepared breakfast for them.


    "Please eat. Are you sleeping soundly? "


    Rere held the hand of Uncle Mutu who was considered like a father herself. "Thank you for all Uncle. We can''t imagine without Uncle. "


    "Don''t worry. It''s my job to Uncle''s take care of you. Your mother entrusted you to me."


    Uncle Mutu took the passport and handed it over to Rere. Rere saw the ticket in the passport that gave him Uncle Quality.


    "Is this Uncle?"


    "KL is not safe for you. They will continue to hunt you if you stay here. If you stay here you will all be killed. The people who are targeting you are very dangerous. "


    "How Uncle does do all this?" Rere felt something odd. There was no way Uncle Mutu could have taken care of everything so neatly.


    "Eat. After that, we headed to the airport. "


    There is drama on the way to the airport. Their car tires were shot until the car hit the road divider. The bandits never gave up on hunting down Rere and Gesa.


    Uncle Mutu didn''t just give up. He still drives the car even though the tires are flat. Their motorcade car collided with each other. The car continued to drive towards the KLIA airport.


    The criminals bite their fingers when they see their car enter the airport. The third immediately went down and checked in.


    "I miss Uncle."Rere''s eyes filled with tears.


    Uncle Mutu stroked Rere''s head. "We will meet again for sure. Do not Cry. You are ugly when you cry. I''m relieved to take you home. "


    "Thank you for all Uncle."


    Arriving at Soetta airport, Rere was surprised because Bara was already waiting there.


    "Bro," squeaked Rere and ran to embrace Bara.


    "Are you okay Re?" Bara cried with emotion hugging her sister.


    Tia and Gesa were also moved to see the brother and sister interaction.


    "Are you okay? Why didn''t you tell me you were in danger? Why are you silent?"


    "Bro, it''s a long story," softly Rere holding Bara''s hand.


    "I''m afraid something will happen to you Re."


    "I''ve been in front of a brother. I am alright." Rere tried to smile. She did not want to add to her brother''s thoughts because Bara was on doctor''s treatment. Doctor Bara said he shouldn''t have many thoughts so he can get well soon.


    Bara forced Rere to tell what happened. Bara''s intimidation left her unable to move. Rere honestly told me. Bara already knows from DianAnanyats to hear directly from Rere''s mouth. Bara was constantly grateful to see his sister''s condition. That night who saved them in the forest was Dian and other people.


    Dian killed the criminals and burned their bodies to remove traces. Dian knew that the criminals were ordered from the kingdom. Dian was not alone that night. She lowered his best team to finish off the criminals.


    Bara is very good. He wanted to accommodate Gesa for a while. Rere is happy that Bara wants to help Gesa, whose fate is shifting.

 Chapter 9：Rere Pregnant

    Thanks to the connection of her older brother, Rere was able to finish her studies even though she was in Jakarta. They should have graduated today, but due to unfavorable conditions, only Tia came to graduation. Tia immediately returned to Jakarta after the event was over.


    Relieved¡­.


    Rere breathed a sigh of relief because he managed to get through the nightmare in her life. Had thought about Angga. Rere throws away Angga from her mind. That man had scratched a wound on her heart. That day, Angga has turned into a figure that is creepy for her. Angga should have supported her through difficult times, but the man wanted to destroy her future.


    Rere just took a shower. She paid attention to her body shape. There is something different about her body. There is swelling. Rere groomed herself in front of a large glass. Noticing her stomach that began to bulge.


    "Why is my stomach bulging? Strange. What is this?" Rere touched her stomach.


    Rere''s eyes widened thinking of something. She was very scared. Could it be that she is pregnant? It has been six months since Rere did not come in months. Rere menstrual irregularities due to hormonal disorders. During these six months Rere did not menstruate so she was not at all suspicious. Rere just started menstruating when she was eighteen years old. She had her first menstrual period after consulting a doctor.


    Rere panicked then contacted, Tia. Luckily Tia immediately picked up the phone. Tia is currently working as the secretary of Bara, Rere''s half-brother.


    "Hello Re," said Tia kindly.


    "Hello, Tia." Rere trembled saying Tia''s name.


    "Why Re?" Tia has a bad feeling.


    "Tia. My stomach is bulging. This is weird. I just realized it had been six months without menstruation. If I''m pregnant, how about Tia? Is it possible that I am pregnant with that boy''s child? " Rere sobbed.


    "You, don''t panic. Let''s meet up. Let''s try the test pack first. Hopefully not pregnant. "


    Rere and Tia made an appointment at a cafe. Tia gave a testpack to Rere. Expect negative results.


    Rere came out of the bathroom with a gloomy face. She gives the test results to Tia. Two red lines. Tia''s eyes widen in shock.


    "I''m pregnant Tia. I''m pregnant," Rere squeaked in tears. The shock will be a mother.


    "It means that all this time you are pregnant Re but not aware. We have to go to the doctor to check your womb. "


    "Do not want. I am scared. Mother must be choking me. " Rere was scared to reject Tia''s suggestion.


    "We have to confirm your pregnancy first. Is this kid all right?Lower-class If your womb is still young we can abort it. "


    "It can''t be Tia. I think it''s been six months. "


    "Let''s go to the doctor first to check."


    Tia takes Rere to a gynecologist. Rere lay on the gurney. The nurse raised Rere''s clothes to the top then applied gel to her stomach. Doctor Uty moved the ultrasound device on Rere''s stomach.


    "Her pregnancy is 26 weeks. These are the baby''s head, these are the arms and these are the legs. " Doctor Uty shows the baby''s condition.


    "26 weeks doctor?" Tia tries to hide her shock.


    "Right. This gender is already visible. "


    "My friend''s stomach is still flat, has it been six months?"


    "The age of a woman''s womb is not based on a flat or distended stomach. Sometimes those who have thin fat on their stomachs when they are pregnant are not visible at all. "


    "Is it a boy or a woman, a doctor?" Asked Tia like a husband.


    "These are the genitals. Like a flagpole. " Doctor Uty shows the sex of the baby.


    "The baby is a doctor boy?"


    "Right."


    Returning from the hospital, Rere was devastated. Somehow her bad luck didn''t stop. The baby in her womb has tied her up with the man. Rere had no intention of telling the man if she was pregnant. The man''s words were still ringing in his ears.


    Set him up for treasure. Lower class girls always use this trick to get a treasure.


    It hurts if you remember the events of that night. Rere took off her clothes. Suddenly Ainil entered. Rere forgot to lock the bedroom door because she was confused.


    Ainil''s eyes widened when he saw Rere''s belly. The stomach is distended not from eating a lot. As a woman who was pregnant and gave birth to Ainil, she knew the difference. Her eyes did not leave Rere''s stomach. Ainil looked at her scared daughter. Rere immediately put on his clothes. Why did Ainil find out so quickly?


    "Are you pregnant Re?" Ainil gaped. Can not believe what she saw.


    Rere shook her head while crying staring at her bag which was lying on the bed. Ainil did not just believe it. Her gaze fixed on Rere''s bag. Ainil rummaged through Rere''s bag for evidence. Ainil finds ultrasound photos. She looked at the ultrasound photo without blinking.


    "What is this?" Ainil in shock threw the ultrasound photo in Rere''s face.


    Rere knelt in front of her mother." Mother ... I can explain."


    "Who got you pregnant?"


    Rere was just silent without answering. Only tears are the answer. Ainil was not satisfied. Upset and disappointed with the princess because she was pregnant outside of marriage.


    "Talk to Mommy."


    Rere is still mum. The crying grew louder and louder. As a mother, Ainil''s feelings were torn apart. Her daughter is not pure. Those who do not deserve it have taken away her sanctity.


    "Say Rere. Don''t make me disappointed. I sent you to school abroad to be a smart child, not a disgrace. Mom is disappointed with you. Your father in the grave must be crying lamenting his daughter''s behavior. Why did you do it, son? Just kill Mom."


    "I''m sorry Mom. I can''t say. I''m sorry I made you disappointed and hurt."


    "You have thrown dirt in Mom''s face. Where do you want to put this face Rere. What do people say you are pregnant out of wedlock?".


    "Tell me, who is the man who impregnated you?" Ainil returned to emotion when Rere did not want to speak.


    "You are my only child. A girl but can''t maintain my self-esteem. Your father will surely cry in the grave to see that you can''t educate her child. Mother is disappointed with you Re." Ainil was furious and then hit Rere''s arm. She could not stop thinking about her daughter''s stubbornness.


    "Just hit me, Mom. If necessary, just choke me to death. I''m not a proud child," said Rere exasperatedly. The pain of Ainil''s beating was not over yet with the pain in his heart.


    "The child is shameless. How could you disappoint Mom? From a young age, I taught you to maintain the honor, but you even gave it to a man who is not your husband. Studying far away is not for pride but for shame. So you returned to Indonesia because you were pregnant? With a man. where are you pregnant? Does she have different beliefs with us so you don''t want to marry that man? Who wants to marry a woman who is pregnant out of wedlock? " Ainil took out her frustration on Rere. Tears flowed freely when hitting Rere. Ainil stressed finding her child was pregnant.


    Rere was resigned and impressed when Ainil hit her body. Hoping he died through his mother''s beatings.


    "I''m sorry I let you down." Rere didn''t dare look at Ainil.


    "Get out of this house," Ainil shouted aloud to drive the child away.


    "Don''t throw me out, Mom. I don''t know where to go if you kick out." Rere bowed at Ainil''s feet.


    "Go away. I''d rather lose you than lose face."


    "Not Mom." Rere shook his head. He begged his mother.


    "GO, " Ainil shouted aloud.


    "What is this?" Herman, Rere''s stepfather entered the room because he heard the commotion.


    "Daddy," said Ainil and Rere simultaneously.


    "Why are you fighting? Rere you crying?" Herman is concerned about the condition of his stepdaughter.


    Rere was scared and her body was shaking. She looked at Ainil with bulging eyes, hoping that her mother would not tell Herman about her pregnancy. Rere shook his head as a sign that Ainil would not tell Herman.


    "I hit her," said Ainil struggling.


    "Why did you hit Rere? What''s wrong with her?" Herman was concerned and then hugged Rere. Even though Rere is only a stepchild, he loves her very much like a real child.


    "Dad asked her or Dad pay attention to her stomach." Ainil pointed at Rere''s stomach.


    Herman watched Rere''s stomach grow bigger. He understood what his wife meant.


    "Are you pregnant Re?" Herman is surprised to know the fact that his stepdaughter is pregnant. Herman is sure that Rere''s womb is old.


    "Yes Dad," said Rere scared. She shivered and then passed out.

 Chapter 10：Reres Son ( 1 )

    "Oh my God." Herman was quick to respond. He held Rere''s body before falling to the floor.


    Ainil looked at Rere as if he didn''t care. It hurts to see the child''s behavior. Her heart has closed. There is no pity and pity for the child. Disappointed of course disappointed. Feeling like a failure to be a mother because you can''t educate your children. Feeling that she failed to carry out the mandate of her late husband. Not to boast, but Rere even embarrassed her. Ainil felt that she did not meet other people face to face.


    "Ainil summon Bara or someone to carry Rere." Herman rebuked his wife.


    "Yes Dad," Ainil replied lazily.


    Just stepping out, Bara entered the room. Shocked and shocked to see his younger sister lying unconscious.


    "What''s wrong, Dad?" Bara panicked and took over Rere from Herman''s hands.


    "I''ll tell you later. Take your sister to the hospital. "


    Thirty minutes they arrived at the nearest hospital. Bara brought Rere to the emergency room but was referred to poly obgyn because Rere was pregnant.


    Bara and Herman followed the nurse who brought Rere to the poly ob-gyn to be examined by a gynecologist.


    "Bar." Uty, the obstetrician who examined Rere was shocked to see Bara''s arrival. "This is your wife?"


    Bara shook her head, "Not Ty. This is my sister. "


    "Where is her husband?" Uty tried to find another male figure.


    "Why did she pass out? Pregnant women should not have a lot of thoughts and stress. Earlier she and her friend had checked the womb. "


    "What?" Herman and Bara were shocked.


    Uty check on Rere''s condition. There''s nothing serious about it. Rere passed out from fear and stress.


    "Bara, her pregnancy is already 26 weeks. In three months your sister will give birth. "


    "What?" Bara tones his hair and face. Disappointed and hurt to know that her sister was pregnant outside of marriage. Bara''s chest felt tight. Bara almost cried but was arrested because she was embarrassed.


    Uty invited Bara to chat in her private room. Uty gave a glass of water to keep Bara calm.


    "So your sister is not married? Sorry, I don''t know if Rere is your step-sister. "


    "Thank Uty." Bara takes water from Uty''s hand. "It''s okay if you don''t know. I''m in shock. What kind of brother am I, can''t take care of my own younger brother. My sister doesn''t want to tell you who impregnated her. Daddy told you earlier. Mom is disappointed with her. Mom doesn''t even care about Rere. "


    Uty patted Bara''s shoulder softly, "Be patient, Bara. I understand how you feel. Mrs. Ainil''s attitude was natural like that. Which parents are not disappointed if their daughter becomes pregnant outside of marriage. What happened to Rere reminds me of the past. I was pregnant out of wedlock. Married my husband because she got pregnant first. I''m pregnant, not with my boyfriend, but my best friend. It''s all because of that damn drink. It could be that Rere is not pregnant with a boyfriend or she is a victim of ****. "


    "So you and Rizki are not dating. Is it because of this that you broke up with Demir first? "


    "Yes."


    "What should I do?" Bara bowed languidly.


    "Rere''s pregnancy entering the third trimester will not possibly abort her. My advice is to invite your sister to chat from heart to heart. Ask her who has impregnated her. If she wants to talk. You find the man and marry them. The baby in her womb needs legal certainty. What does the world say if your sister has a child without a husband? We live in Indonesia, not Europe or America. But I have to be patient, Bara. Pregnant women shouldn''t be stressed. "


    "Bastard ...." Bara clenched his strong fists. "I failed to be a brother. I can''t take care of Rere. "


    "Please ... Don''t beat yourself up. Maybe it''s destiny. Remember the baby in Rere''s womb needs a father figure. Don''t ever leave him. Support Rere to become a mother. "


    Bara returned to Rere''s treatment room with unsteady steps. His thoughts were divided. Confused about what he will do next.


    "Rere is awake Dad?" Ask Bara to Herman.


    Herman shook his head languidly. Her eyes glistened at the princess lying weakly.


    "Better papa just go home. Let Bara take care of Rere. Rest Daddy. "


    "But Bara ...."


    "Daddy please ...."


    "What about Rere?"


    After Herman came home, Rere woke up from fainting. Shocked and shocked when she realized she was in the hospital. Bara is playing with the cell phone.


    "You woke up already?" Asked Bara coldly looking at his younger sister.


    "Surely you want to scold me?" Rere was already thinking negatively.


    "Why do you think like that?" Bara keeps the cell phone in his pants pocket.


    "Bro," Rere squeaked in tears. Bara approached his younger sister and hugged her.


    "Don''t cry Rere. I am here."


    I''m sorry, bro, for embarrassing our family. I just found out when I was pregnant. "


    "You are six months pregnant. Why don''t you realize? " Bara frowned. Gaze at Rere suspiciously.


    "I''m having hormone problems. Not menstruating is not a problem for me because I am used to it. "

 Chapter 11：Reres Son ( 2 )

    I''m sorry, bro, for embarrassing our family. I just found out when I was pregnant. "


    "You are six months pregnant. Why don''t you realize? " Bara frowned. Gaze at Rere suspiciously.


    "I''m having hormone problems. Not menstruating is not a problem for me because I am used to it. "


    "Who has impregnated you?"


    Rere stuttered. Her mouth is locked. Don''t dare to look at her brother. Rere looked away.


    "Tell me? Who has impregnated you? "


    "I beg¡­ I don''t want to marry him. I¡­ .. "Rere cried.


    "Why Re?"


    "I did something wrong. Please ... don''t force it. I realized I had embarrassed my family. Mommy already kicked me out. I''m leaving the house. "


    "Where do you want to go?"


    "Anywhere so that this disgrace is not known by people."


    Bara tried to persuade Rere to say who the man had impregnated her. Rere has her reasons why not tell his family. First, the man who had impregnated her already had a wife and children. Second, the man had insulted her for being accused of framing him for a property. For God''s sake and all in it. Rere just wanted to help the man, not set him up. Not a thank you received, but even a heinous accusation.


    Bara bites his finger because he can''t force Rere to tell the story. The younger sister is stubborn. Bara doesn''t want Rere to run away from home if forced to tell stories.


    The two of them return home. Bara convinced his younger sister to return even though Ainil had kicked her out. Just entered the door of Ainil''s house with her hands on his hips looking at Rere.


    "Do you still dare to go home after embarrassing me?" Ainil glanced sarcastically at Rere.


    "Mom." Bara gently called out to her stepmother.


    "Bar...You don''t defend her. You should have kicked her out of this house. She has tarnished our good name. Do you still accept her as your younger sister? You should be angry because she lives in the wrong environment. She does not know who impregnated her. You lowly girl. " Ainil blindly insulted her daughter.


    "Mom enough!" Bara talks to Ainil. The middle-aged woman was shocked. Bara never scolded.


    "The despicable mother is the mother''s child. The mother''s child is born from the mother''s womb. Insulting her is the same as insulting your mother. OK. Rere was wrong because she was pregnant outside of marriage. She is pregnant without a husband. But think about mother. The child in Rere''s womb is the descendant of our family. Are you going to let the child be neglected? Even though the parents'' actions are adultery, the child is not doing anything wrong. That child needs our protection. As a woman use empathy. Mom may be angry but there is no need to blame him. We don''t know what happened to Rere. She must have her reasons why she doesn''t want to tell who the baby''s father is. "


    "Bara ..."


    "I''m not finished talking, Mom. Rere remains in this house forever. No one can leave this house. If the mother expels Rere, I will also come out of this house. I know Rere is wrong, but we shouldn''t insult her. Rere enters the room! " Bara orders to her younger sister. Rere left Ainil and Bara.


    Rere immediately closed the door and burst into tears.


    "Bara, why are you defending Rere?" Ainil was disappointed with Bara.


    "Mom ..." Bara took Ainil''s hand and brought his mother to sit on the sofa. Herman looked at his wife and child from afar.


    "Ma ... Looks like Rere is a victim of ****," Bara said quietly, barely audible.


    "What?" Ainil exclaimed in shock.


    "That''s why he doesn''t want to talk to us. Rere returned to Jakarta, do you know why? "


    "Why?" Ainil worried about his daughter''s fate.


    "Rere is a key witness to a murder. He was hunted by the criminals with Gesa. "


    "Gesa?" Ainil thought for a moment. "Gesa the girl you helped recover from depression."


    "Oh, my God." Ainil cried. Her heart was broken to find the fact that the princess had a bad incident. "Why didn''t Rere tell us the bar?"


    "Maybe they don''t want to burden us. Seeing my condition that has not yet recovered and my mother''s condition, that''s why Rere doesn''t want to tell. "


    "Is this the story by Rere?" Ainil did not fully believe it.


    "Mom, why are you suspicious of your child? What is clear is that Rere needs our support. Don''t make his mistake because we don''t accept him. "


    *****


    Rere cried with emotion when she succeeded in giving birth to a healthy baby boy. Bara eagerly awaited the birth of his sister. The baby boy was born weighing 3.3 kg with a length of 50 cm.


    Uty gave the baby to Rere for skin to skin. After it is enough, the baby is brought into the baby room. The nurse gave the baby to Bara.


    Bara cried in tears carrying her nephew. The baby is very cute and handsome.


    "From this second uncle will be your papa, son. I give you the name Leon. " Bara held her nephew''s tiny hand.

 Chapter 12：Looking for Baras Wife ( 1 )

    Since Rere gave birth normally, she can go home. Rere only stayed one night in the hospital. Bara, Ainil, and Herman picked her up.


    Rere looked at Bara sadly. There is a feeling of emotion that surrounds his heart to have a brother like Bara. Even though they are only half-brothers, the man''s attention exceeds that of siblings. Rere did not expect her mother''s marriage to Herman to have a brother as good as Bara. The man was at the forefront during her pregnancy.


    "What is the name of this grandson?" Herman looked at the baby Rere. His eyes are teary because he already has a grandson. Hoping for a grandson from Bara, but what can his wife leave the child alone.


    "His name is Leon. Call him Leon Pa." Bara spoke looking at Herman. "I already gave you a name. How are you?" Bara looked at Rere.


    Rere nodded and was even more moved. She wiped her tears. Bara''s attitude again made him feel cared for and considered.


    "Thank you. Leon is a good name." Rere grabbed Bara''s hand.


    To the house, Bara joked with little Leon. Ainil, who initially couldn''t accept Rere''s pregnancy, melted when she saw how cute and adorable Leon was.


    "You give your milk, Re. It''s better than formula milk," said Bara while playing with Leon.


    Bara didn''t want to let Leon out of her arms. Honey, it has grown. Loving Leon since he was in Rere''s womb. It''s nothing. Seeing Leon the man remembered his wife. Herman and Dian said Bara had divorced his wife but the man didn''t believe it. Bara knew that Dian and Herman were lying to her.


    Bara was sure his wife was pregnant when he left her. The belief was there because Bara had morning sickness and had no appetite for nine months. Zico, Dian''s husband also experienced the same thing when Dian was pregnant with Alana. If only Bara''s memory had returned, maybe he could find out where his wife was.


    "Oh, how handsome this child is," said Tia when she visited the house. Tia now works as Bara''s secretary.


    "Similar to that man," whispered Rere disappointed. "Why doesn''t Leon look like me?"


    "His name is Leon?" Tia diverts the conversation not wanting to discuss Leon''s biological father.


    "Bara gave that name to my son."


    "Re, you are lucky to have a brother as good as Pak Bara. It''s rare to have a half-brother like him. You could say it''s rare."


    "Bara''s services have been very big in my life. If it wasn''t for Bara, Leon and I wouldn''t have been accepted into this family."


    "Tia I want to return the favor." Ree gripped his best friend''s hand tightly.


    "Reciprocate how?"


    "Do you know if Bara has memory loss?"


    "Yeah, I know. Re¡­" Tia looked around to make sure there was no one around Rere''s room. Tia locked the door to Rere''s room from the inside and put Leon on top of the crib.


    "Why did you close my bedroom door?"


    "Re..actually I found a fact about Mr. Bara''s wife."


    "What?" Rere spoke softly like someone who was whispering.


    "Maybe you don''t believe my findings but this is a fact."


    "What Tia? I''m curious."


    "Mr. Bara used to be gay."


    "Don''t slander you!" Rere got goosebumps knowing her stepbrother was ex-gay."


    "Well look at this." Tia shows an article on the internet about the issue of Bara being an ex-gay.


    Rere''s eyes widened as she read the words written in the article.


    "So Re. Mr. Bara was shot while looking for his missing wife. So when Mr. Bara served as chairman of the legislature he had many enemies. The enemy is the one who uncovers Mr. Bara''s past. Mr. Bara''s wife knows that her husband is gay and she is the one who returns Mr. Bara to nature. Bara very much loves her. The story is that Mr. Bara''s father-in-law and brother-in-law are ashamed to have an ex-son-in-law gay. So they threatened his wife Mr. Bara to reveal her husband''s secret to go to jail. Pak Bara''s secret is safe if his wife leaves Mr. Bara. Mr. Bara''s wife was forced to leave him."


    "Seriously?" Ree shook her head.


    "Mr. Bara''s past is very dark. He''s not as good as he is now. It was his wife who changed Mr. Bara so that he changed completely like now. Mrs. Dian knows everything Re, but she is silent."


    "What? Dian?"


    "Yes, Mrs. Dian."


    "Tia helped me find his wife, brother. I want to unite my brother with his wife. After forty days I was born we flew to P city looking for info. We go to Papa''s old house and then we find out who and where my brother''s wife is. I have to make my brother happy. He''s done a lot for me and Leon."


    "Okay, Re. Whatever you ask I will help. You have also given a lot of help to me and mom during this time."


    "Don''t worry Tia. As long as I can I will help."


    Forty days after giving birth, Rere and Tia went to the city of P. Rere to ask his family for permission to attend a friend''s wedding. Early in the morning Rere and Tia had flown to P city. Their plane landed at eight the morning. Tia''s cousin is waiting.


    "Vinta." Tia hugs her cousin.

 Chapter 13：Looking for Baras Wife ( 2 )

    "Long time no see." Vinta hugs Tia.


    "Know Vin. This is my friend Rere who has been helping our family all this time." Tia introduces Rere to Vinta.


    The three of them made their way to the parking lot. Rere was excited to visit P city for the first time. The airport is small and not far from the parking lot.


    "Did you come here? What is wrong?" Asked Vinta while driving.


    "I''m looking for someone."


    "Who?"


    "Do you know a former legislator named Aldebaran? Surely Vinta knows because he is a native here." Rere spoke carefully.


    "What?" Vinta suddenly braked his car until Rere and Tia stumbled and hit the dashboard.


    "Why are you so surprised?" Rere looked at Vinta intensely.


    "How can you not be surprised? shocked. Who said they weren''t surprised? I know him very well. Mr. Aldebaran chairman. Bara''s call. His wife is my former boss at MBC bank."


    "What?" Rere and Tia were shocked and relieved. It''s not that hard to get the facts. There are only facilities that they get to help Bara.


    Vinta also told what he knew about Bara and his wife. Dila, the name of Bara''s wife. Dila used to work at MBC bank. His last position before resigning as head of the main MBC bank. His career stands out and is good despite his young age. Vinta also tells about Bara''s past, which is known to be a former gay man. Since marrying Dila the man has returned to nature. Be a religious man and fear God. Bara loves his wife very much and is willing to do anything for her happiness.


    "Sis Dila resigned why?" Rere was getting curious.


    "He said it was because he was very sick," squeaked Vinta. "But I''m sure that''s not it. I''ve heard that Dila''s father doesn''t like Mr. Bara after knowing his past. Dila''s father asked them to divorce. What are you doing asking Mr. Bara to me? There''s something suspicious here."


    "Dila left Bara. He had been gone for almost two years without a trace. Bara has lost her memory because she was shot by her political opponent." Rere cries telling Bara. Secretly he had witnessed Bara weeping for his wife. Even though the man forgot his wife''s name and face, he still had her in his heart. Bara even rejected the women who approached him.


    "What?" Vinta was shocked again. "You''ve been making me heartbroken. Let''s go to the cafe first to straighten all this out." Vinta returned to driving the car and stopped at a contemporary coffee shop that was currently popular in the city of P.


    The cafe waiter delivered the three of them ordered bread and milk coffee. Rere tells the chronology of the events that happened to Bara and her condition so far. Rere also told about his relationship with Bara.


    "Oh, I see. I thought you were Mr. Bara''s new wife." Vince chuckled. "I and Dila share the same office at the MBC bank. Dila is a tired head and I am customer service at the office."


    "Oh, I see." Ree nodded. "Does Vinta have a photo of Sis Dila?"


    "Lots." Vinta opened her cellphone and showed her a photo with Dila. Photo in office uniform. Vinta also showed her photo with Bara and Dila when they got married. "Don''t you see my social media, huh?" Vinta calls Tia ''Yes''.


    "How would I know." Tia started to open Vinta''s social media scroller and from the bottom. It turns out that there are many photos of Vinta and Dila.


    "So beautiful, Dila." Puji Rere saw a photo of Dila and Vinta wearing office uniforms. "No wonder Bara loves it. His wife is very beautiful like the artist Raline Shah."


    Rere also keeps a photo of Bara and Dila''s wedding.


    "Does Dila have social media, Vin?" Rere asked again.


    "Dila is not active on social media, Re. Between being and not being."


    "What is Dila''s full name?"


    "Fadila Elvarette."


    After a long conversation they left. Tia and Rere stopped at Herman''s house in P town. Incidentally, Rere already knew the maid who worked at Herman''s house. Bara once took him to the city of J.


    "Auntie," Rere called to Tini.


    "Yes, Re. Can I see Bara''s wedding photo or not? Curious about my sister-in-law''s face."


    "That¡­." Tini stammered not wanting to talk.


    "Auntie don''t be afraid. Rere is just curious who Bara''s wife is." Rere smiled at Tini.


    Inevitably Tini took a photo of Bara''s wedding album. Herman once ordered this photo not to get into Bara''s hands. Danger.


    "So beautiful Dila," said Rere once again. Feeling close even though I only saw Dila''s portrait in the photo. "He must be a good person."


    "It''s good Re. Dila is very kind and polite. Although he is the son of a rich man, he is not arrogant. Treated me like his aunt, not a maid. Anyway, Bara''s wife is really good. The late Bu Ranti loved him." Tini also commented.


    "This is Mama Ranti?" Rere shows a family photo of Bara with Herman and his late wife.


    "Re, Mr. Bara''s mother is similar to your mother. At first glance, they look like twins. Is it because of this Mr. Herman married your mother?" Tia calls out for Tini''s support.


    "It could be Tia. Papa at a glance also looks like his late father. Anyway, I''m happy with my current family. Love unconditionally. Looks like we can''t stay for long. Rere and Tia first returned to Jakarta. Thank you for the information. Please¡­don''t tell Papa, Brother, and Mother that we''ve been here. Rere just wants to know about sis Dila. Rere wants to find sis Dila for Bara."


    "Hopefully you find Dila soon." Tini was moved to tears.


    "I promise I will find your wife," said Rere looking at Herman''s house from the top of the car.

 Chapter 14：Baras Business Trip ( 1 )

    Two Years Later......


    Zico couldn''t help but laugh when Bara was annoyed with Leon''s attitude. Every morning they have to have breakfast at their house. In the past, they had breakfast together when Herman was not yet married. Since Herman remarried and had Leon they had breakfast at their respective homes. Their homes remain connected to each other. Dian and Bara cannot be separated because they have lived together since childhood.


    "Leon, why always bother mommy?" Rere shouted after Leon to Dian and Zico''s house. She came to pick up Leon. The woman realized that the child was always bothering Dian.


    "Surely you are the one who urged father to come here?" Rere pointed at Leon.


    "Re. Let it go. Leon doesn''t bother." Dian is still busy feeding Leon.


    "Mommy''s bread is delicious. Leon said Mommy''s bread wasn''t good," said Alana, Dian and Zico''s daughter. The little girl''s words made Rere stroke her chest.


    "Alana can''t say that." Zico rebuked the princess. Zico took a tissue and cleaned Alana''s smudged mouth and face.


    "Your daugther is too honest." Bara couldn''t hold back her laughter. "Just like her mother."


    "Boss..." Dian didn''t like Alana''s bad character being compared to her.


    "Thanks, Mami," said Rere, cleaning Leon''s mouth from the rest of the bread. If fed, eat Leon a lot. Rere carried Leon home.


    "What did you say to mommy?" Rere tutored Leon.


    "Thanks, mom. The bread is delicious," Leon said sincerely. The child''s speech was not clear. Only those closest to him know what he said.


    "Equally love."


    "That''s my mom Leon. Don''t be spoiled." Alana is jealous.


    "You can''t do that. Leon is Alana''s brother."


    "Not mom. My brother is in mommy''s tummy, not Leon." Refuse Alana to look away.


    "Oh my God, how come my daugther is like this?" Dian patted her forehead.


    "Dian," Bara called, sitting on a chair at the dining table.


    "Yes, boss."


    "What''s my schedule for today?"


    "Isn''t your secretary Tia? Not my wife? At home, you still talk about work." Zico scoffed as he shook his head.


    "My secretary is already a monopoly. So whether you want to take work or not, take it home. You make my secretary pregnant every year. Dian has a lot of holidays because of you." Just don''t want to lose.


    "I like it. Dian is my wife. Why are you the one who got me pregnant?" Zico pouted his lips.


    The habit of the two of them always arguing and bringing each other down, but in the joking stage, it wasn''t real.


    "How can I not be annoyed. Dian''s performance has decreased because of you."


    "Who needs my wife?" Zico even gave Bara an ultimatum.


    "I''ve asked my wife to resign, but you don''t want to."


    "Sorry to argue with you." Just annoyed at losing the debate.


    "Papi and Uncle Bara, why are they arguing? These adults are weird. Fighting but also friends." Alana commented.


    Everyone in the room burst out laughing. Alana with her magic mouth.


    "You are very funny." Zico pinched Alana''s cheek.


    "Papi is sick." Alana nagged Zico.


    "It''s a pity that mommy is being fought over. Leon and I fought over Mami, then Papi and uncle Bara bere."


    "Alana, can''t you call uncle without the name ''bere''?" Bara doesn''t like Alana''s title.


    "No." Alana shook her head refusing Bara''s request.


    "Tomorrow, the boss is scheduled to go to Kuala Lumpur for a business meeting with Mr. Irfan Khan. Continue to the wedding of Mr. Irfan''s daugther. The party was held for seven days and seven nights. To impress him, the boss must come every day to his party. Mr. Irfan invites the boss to a party for a week. Possibly two weeks boss in KL."


    "Should I?"


    "Yes. If you want to get a job from him."


    "Long there? It''s lonely."


    "Take your family. Let''s not be lonely. Rere and Leon invite you all." Zico came up with an idea.


    "No need. I don''t want to go to Kuala Lumpur," Rere said firmly. KL gives bad memories to Rere so he doesn''t want to set foot there. Rere used to live and settle in KL.


    "Why Re?" Bara asked innocently. Only limited to testing even though he already knew the reason his sister didn''t want to go to KL.


    "I don''t want to. Still bored too. Tourist attractions there are all that." Rere gave a reason. His hands suddenly shivered and cold when he talked about Kuala Lumpur.


    "Yes, then. I don''t charge."


    "Leon, let''s go next door." Rere brought Leon to their house.


    "Your stepsister is very mysterious," said Zico when Rere had left with Leon.


    "Rere you mean?"


    "Who else Bar? If not Rere." Zico drank hot tea. "Until now she kept silent who Leon''s real father was. It''s time for you to be Leon''s father."


    "Leave it alone Zi. I''m afraid to ask more. Looks like she''s a **** victim. I''m traumatized every time I ask. She should be responsible for the man who got pregnant. If I meet that guy, I''ll beat him up. He arbitrarily got my sister pregnant after that he ran away."


    "Don''t you tell Ainil''s aunt too, boss?" It was Dian''s turn to ask.


    "Mom didn''t tell me either." Just shaking his head.


    "Ever since papa married Ainil''s mother, our life has been colorful. So I have a sister like Rere. I also feel like a father even though it''s not my son. I''m willing to be Leon''s father. I can''t bear to tell him that I''m not his father."


    "Your soul is fatherly. Fits to be Leon''s papa. People don''t think you''re not his father."


    "Thank God. Watch out for making Dian pregnant again next year! Like a cat you do. Get pregnant every year. Do you think being pregnant is not tired? I just had morning sickness, I was tired and repentant. How about Ma Dian who gets pregnant every year?"


    "Don''t worry about it. Dian didn''t protest, why did you protest? After all, Dian is pregnant with a husband." Zico even showed affection in front of Bara. Zico shamelessly tidied Dian''s disheveled hair.

 Chapter 15：Baras Business Trip ( 2 )

    "Don''t worry about it. Dian didn''t protest, why did you protest? After all, Dian is pregnant with a husband." Zico even showed affection in front of Bara. Zico shamelessly tidied Dian''s disheveled hair.


    Bara wants to vomit and feel sick to see their romance.


    "Do not be jealous." Zico pouted his lips.


    "Uncle Bara bere. Carry." Alana spreads her arms.


    Bara got up and carried Alana. Bara''s eyes were misty remembering his ex-wife. Bara is sure that her child has been born and is the same age as Alana. Maybe her child is four months older than Alana.morning sickness Bara''sstopped when it was nine months. Bara marks that her child has been born. Zico also experienced the same thing when Dian was pregnant with Alana. When Alana was born again morning sickness Zico''s stopped.


    Bara carried Alana with a meaningful look. Bara wanted to meet the child and hug him in his heart, pouring out his affection and love. The reason Bara has not been married so far is that she wants to find her child first. Bara searched alone without asking Dian and Herman. He thinks it''s useless to ask them both because they won''t get an answer.


    Until now, Bara''s memory has not recovered. He still forgot about his past. Bara is still under the control of the doctor Demir Alfarizi.


    "Uncle Bara. My friend''s mother sends her greetings to uncle," said Alana, surprising the three of them.


    Dian and Zico''s eyes widened when Alana became a matchmaking agency.


    "Your daugther. Whose offspring is like this?" Bara laughed sneering at Zico.


    Rere helped Bara prepare her things to go to Kuala Lumpur. Bara will conduct business cooperation with Mr. Irfan Khan and attend the wedding of Mr. Irfan''s son.


    Rere patiently put Bara''s clothes into the suitcase and tidied up her things. Even though they are only half-brothers, Rere already considers Bara like his own brother. Bara''s very kind attitude made her touched. Rere is Ainil''s only child. Rere is very happy that his mother married Herman. At least Ainil is not alone anymore. There are friends in old age.


    "Mommy, why are you tidying papa''s clothes? Where''s daddy going?" Leon with a stammering voice. Leon called Bara ''What''.


    Rere crouched down to equal his height with Leon. "Dad wants to work in Kuala Lumpur so Mommy prepares Papa''s clothes."


    "Come along. I want to go with daddy."


    "Dad works there. There''s no way Leon would go there. Then who will take care of Leon if you come?"


    "There''s a mommy," Leon answered innocently.


    "You''re all there is." Rere stroked Leon''s head.


    Rere got up and tidied up Bara''s suitcase. Don''t misinterpret Rere''s attention to Bara. Rere is indebted to Bara for supporting and supporting her when she was pregnant. Bara also supported him and did not want to insult him when Ainil scolded him and felt ashamed to have a child who was pregnant out of wedlock.


    Even though she was never honest with his family with Bara, Leon''s biological father, Bara never forced him. Bara understands his feelings better. Bara''s attitude like that made Rere touched. Bara understands not blasphemes.


    Rere secretly helps Bara to find Dila. Rere accidentally overhears Dian and Herman''s conversation about Dila, Bara''s ex-wife. Rere even knows that Bara and Dila are not divorced. Out of curiosity, Rere found out about Dila through Dila''s social media and found a photo of the woman even though Dila was no longer active on social media.


    Rere and Leon went downstairs to join Ainil and Herman for dinner. Just got home from work. Leon ran after his father. Every afternoon, Leon''s routine was to chase Bara when he got home.


    "Leon my son. Miss you?" Bara asked holding Leon.


    "Yes, daddy. Leon misses you," Leon said innocently.


    Bara brought Leon to the dining table, even holding the child on his lap.


    "Leon, what do you want to eat? Nuggets or fried chicken?"


    "Nugget," Leon replied excitedly.


    "Leon eats with Mom. Papa is tired." Rere took Leon from Bara''s lap.


    "It''s okay Re. Just let Leon be the same as me. I''m not tired."


    "You just got home from work. Tomorrow to KL. I don''t like you. Leon is too spoiled." Ree grumbled.


    "It''s okay. Sometimes it''s too much. Just like everyone else."


    "Papa wants to eat," said Leon ignoring Rere.


    "Leon, don''t be spoiled by papa." Rere again reprimanded his son.


    "Papa," Leon called for protection.


    "Yes?" Bara turned to Leon.


    "Do you want mom and dad?" Just smiled sweetly.


    "Yes. I want to eat nuggets. It''s good," Leon said with a smile.


    "Leon, don''t be like that. Just eat with mommy." Rere again reprimanded Leon.


    "Re, don''t be like that with your child. He wants to eat with his father. It''s okay, just let Leon eat with Bara." Herman reprimanded Rere.


    "But Papa. Leon is too spoiled by Bara. I don''t like him bothering Bara." Rere explained his reasons.


    "Where''s the trouble? I don''t feel bothered. Don''t overdo it." Bara replied to Rere.


    "Yes, if." Rere relented and did not want to argue.


    "I''m afraid you''ll be disturbed. You''re tired from work and tomorrow morning you''re leaving for KL. I''ve packed your things in my suitcase."


    "Thank you Rere for helping me clean up. I''m just checking. What''s missing?" Bara smiled sweetly at Rere and then fed Leon to eat.


    "If something is missing, just say so. I''m ready to help."


    "Thank you, my sweet sister," said Bara.


    "You''re both handsome," replied Rere teasing Bara.


    "Seeing you guys get along like this makes mama happy. So far, I have not had a son. You''ve been a good brother to Rere. Mama is touched," said Ainil, crying in tears.


    "How long have you been at the KL Bar?" Herman asked while eating the food.


    "Maybe two weeks I was there Pa. Because I plan to discuss business with Mr. Irfan Khan, then I attend his son''s wedding. He held his son''s wedding reception seven days and seven nights. So I kind of licked him a little. I would come to his son''s party every day."


    "Must come?" Rere asked looking at Bara.


    "I want to get her attention. Re, that''s why I went to her daughter''s wedding. I don''t want to come along. I had to go three with Tia and Daniel."


    "Why did you take me with Leon? Then you think I''m your wife."


    "You and Leon are the reasons I turn down itchy girls out there. You know Kinanti, CEO of Atlantis Persada. The itchy widow makes me feel bad. It''s time for him to increase the price of his goods because I don''t want to marry him. It''s a good thing there''s Zico or not, maybe he doesn''t want to sell the raw materials for construction to me. I can be sued by the government because the construction of the bridge did not meet the specifications and my company lost two hundred percent."


    "She''s crazy." Rere even cursed Kinanti.

 Chapter 16：Some Facts Reveal ( 1 )

    Rere and Leon accompanied Bara to the airport. Leon was still grumpy about not being brought. Bara wanted to take the child but Rere refused to go. Bara leaves with Tia and Daniel.


    "I''ll leave Bara. You take good care of him. If there''s anything, don''t forget to call me."


    "Don''t worry Re. Mr. Bara has grown up, not a child anymore. I don''t need to take care of it." Tia even teases Rere.


    "That''s not Tia. What if Bara''s illness recurs again? Bara likes sudden headaches when he remembers the past."


    "Just calm down. I will take care of him. Without you asking for help, I will take care of it. It''s my job to take care of your brother."


    "Thank you Tia for everything."


    "You''re welcome."


    Rere and Leon waved at Bara. After the three of them checked this both of them went straight home. Actually, on the business trip, Bara was accompanied by Dian and Tia, not with Daniel. Coincidentally, Dian was pregnant, so it was Daniel who went to KL.


    "I hope everything is okay. I don''t know why I don''t feel well. Bro, be careful there."


    ****


    Tia can''t hide her shock. When she just came to the Sangeet party of Mr. Irfan Khan''s son at Pangkor Laut Resort. She meets Dila, Bara''s wife who ran away. Her hands were shaking. The person they had been looking for for years turned out to be in Malaysia. No wonder they did not find Dila in Indonesia because the woman lives in KL.


    Dila can''t hide her shock when she saw Bara but unfortunately the man didn''t recognize her. Tia could see that Dila was disappointed in Bara for not recognizing her.


    Tia immediately called Rere to tell about Dila. Rere is very happy and happy to know that Dila has been found. Various plans are already in her head to unite Bara and Dila. Rere asks Tia to continue to follow Dila and find out how Dila''s life has been for the past few years. Tia also told that Dila already had triplets named Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa. Rere also asks Tia to find out whether the triplets are Bara''s biological children or not. Considering the age of the child coincided with how long Dila had left Bara.


    *****


    "How is the development of Bara and Dila?" Rere asked Tia. They are on a video call. Rere is in the restaurant. She took a lunch break after her monthly shopping. Rere went to the mall alone. Leon was entrusted to Ainil and Herman. Her parents didn''t want to be separated from Leon even for a second.


    "I have important information for you," said Tia excitedly.


    "What?" Rere brought his face closer to the iPhone screen.


    "It''s not like that Re. Can the face be conditioned? Very close. I look you like a ghost." Tia was even horrified to see Rere''s long hair flowing.


    Rere away from the iPhone screen. "What''s the info?"


    "I have confirmed that the triplets are indeed Mr. Bara''s child. Unfortunately, Dila has remarried and has a six-year-old stepdaughter." Tia says it in a sad tone.


    Rey''s face was sad. Dila has remarried. The hope of uniting Bara and Dila was dashed. Rere felt unmotivated but her heart said otherwise. It is impossible for Dila to remarry because she loves Bara so much.


    "Have you investigated? Is it true that Dila is married?"


    "Not yet." Tia bites her finger. "I forgot to mention yesterday the chronology of why Dila got pregnant with Mr. Bara''s child."


    "What''s the story?"


    "Is it true?" Rere''s face lit up. Be happy to know Bara''s biological child. "You can rely on Tia. By law, Bara and Dila are still husband and wife. Dila can''t remarry before taking care of her divorce with Bara."


    "They married without registering it legally.," Tia said awkwardly.


    "Dila is really stupid."


    "Where are you again?"


    "I''m at the mall. Eat first after monthly shopping. Leon, I live at home with mom and dad."


    "It''s great to be someone''s mother. Have a child but like a girl. I''m not tired of taking care of the kids."


    "Damn you!" Ree smiled sweetly. "Tia."


    "Yes?"


    "Bara and Dila''s meeting in KL, don''t tell Mrs. Dian. I don''t want her to know."


    "Why? Shouldn''t Mrs. Dian know?"


    "Dian could mess up all our plans. You know what if she acts. She will force Dila to return to Bara. You know that Bara lost his memory. I want Dila and Bara to be together but not because I have to. Even though Bara forgets about Dila, I''m sure if they meet often, Bara will gradually remember who his wife is. He loves Dila. If not love how could he find out about his ex-wife? Dian and dad have been lying to Bara all this time. They mean well, but I think their decision was wrong. How long will they let Bara live in falsehood?"


    "You''re right. I will help you. I will do everything in my power to unite them."


    "Find out who Dila''s husband is! Make sure their marriage is registered or not. If it is recorded, we can sue Dila for marrying without divorce first. The fall of polyandry."


    "What''s your real plan, Re?" Tia shuddered.


    Rere tells Tia his analysis and tells what plan he will do to unite Bara and Dila.


    "Crazy Re. Why did you even think of going there?" Tia is flabbergasted. Shock knows the plan that Rere has drawn up.


    "I don''t think about it. What I told you it won''t it?"


    "It makes sense, Re. just..."


    "Just what?"

 Chapter 17：Some Facts Reveal ( 2 )

    "Crazy Re. Why did you even think of going there?" Tia is flabbergasted. Shock knows the plan that Rere has drawn up.


    "I don''t think about it. What I told you it won''t it?"


    "It makes sense, Re. just..."


    "Just what?"


    "Isn''t this too extreme?"


    "No. This will confirm their feelings for both of them."


    "Alright then. ok, madam¡­.." Tia sneered at Rere as if she were her master.


    "Once again, you call me by my name, madam. I''ll ask Bara to transfer you to the M branch."


    "Geez¡­..Not strong Re." Tia pleaded.


    "Ma''am, can I have the soy sauce?" A boy approached Rere''s desk. He wanted to get the soy sauce on Rere''s table. Incidentally,Did you changehurrieshe soy sauce on the table had run out. Rere''s position turned his back to the man so that his face could not be seen.


    "Please," said Rere without turning to the man.


    The man who asked for soy sauce was surprised to hear Rere''s voice. Rere''s voice was familiar to him. He squinted. He walked forward to make sure he wasn''t mistaken. The man looked at Rere intently.


    "Rere," called the man with a smile on his face.


    Rere looked away with the camera still on.


    "Angga," Rere softly called the man. Didn''t think they would meet after so many years of not seeing each other. Angga was Rere''s lover when he was studying in Malaysia.


    "Rere, I finally met you again." Angga reflexively wanted to hug Rere but the woman immediately avoided.


    "Please keep your distance. You can''t hug me like you used to. We are no longer a couple. Hope you remember that," said Rere coldly.


    Tia is a spectator. She is also in shock that Rere and Angga accidentally meet at the mall.


    "Oh my gosh Angga." Tia gets worried too.


    Rere realizes the video call with Tia is still connected. Rere pressed the red button to end their call.


    "Damn. Rere even turned it off," Tia cursed throwing the iPhone on the bed.


    "Where have you been all this time Re?" Angga touched Rere''s shoulder. The longing that had peaked was finally cured. They were a great couple in college. Many students are jealous of their intimacy.


    "I''m just here." Ree held back her tears. Meeting his ex-lover gave another pounding in his heart.


    "Why did you leave me Re?"


    "Can we discuss this matter?" Rere looks angry.


    "How are you?" Angga relented and changed the topic of conversation.


    "Okay No. How about you?"


    "Not good Re, since you left."


    "Can we not discuss our past relationship Angga? You have to move on. We don''t have a relationship anymore."


    "As long as we haven''t broken up, we''re still a couple."


    "Let us break up," said Rere spontaneously. She is very emotional.


    "How dare you Re."


    "I really do." Rere even straightened Angga''s words to make the man''s heart shattered into pieces.


    You changed Re? You''re not the Rere I used to know? What happened to make you change so drastically? Angga whispered in the heart.


    iPhone Rere rings loudly. There is a video call.


    Mom calling¡­.


    Rere stared at the screen iPhone. She pressed the green button on the screen.


    "Mommy hurry home," Leon said in a pitiful tone begging for pity.


    "Just a moment, please. Mommy will be home soon." Rere comforted Leon.


    Angga was confused and then looked at the screen of Rere''s cellphone. Surprised to see a little boy begging Rere to come home immediately.


    "Don''t tell me he''s our son and you hid him from me?" Angga feels that he has raped and impregnated Rere. departure was Rere''sdisappointed in him.


    Rere turned off the iPhone and left Angga. She did not give Angga room to come closer and talk. She was driving at high speed so that Angga could not catch up with him.


    Arriving at the house Leon has welcomed her arrival. Rere immediately brought Leon into the house. She was afraid if Angga was reckless and came to the house. Rere doesn''t want Angga to meet Herman or Ainil. It could be terrible if everything was exposed. Rere deliberately kept his mouth shut about Leon''s biological father from his family.


    "Mommy, take a shower first, son. You''re the same as Ms. first," said Rere, crouching, equalizing her height with Leon. She glanced at Leon''s nanny to take the child to play in the back garden.


    "Leon is here, sis," said Ami, Leon''s nanny.


    Rere went to the room. She closed the door tightly. She glanced at the window and saw that Angga''s car was still parked across the street from the house.


    "Apparently Angga followed me. Why did he get in? Can''t just anyone enter? How come the security guard just let it be?" Ree was furious. She reached for the phone that was on the table. She called the security complex.


    "Sir, I''m Rere in block D1. I want to ask why did you let a man in a Camry enter the complex and park in front of my house?"


    "A Camry car? You went in with Ms. Rere. He said she was your friend. Do you want me to keep you safe?" The security guard was confused because he let strangers in even to the point of being fooled.


    "No need," said Rere quickly, pinching his temples. "He is indeed my friend."


    "I''m afraid of being called negligent, sis."


    "Thanks for the explanation Mr. Toni." Rere ended the call.


    Rere put down the landline while looking at Angga. Make sure the man is gone or not. Until then, Rere doesn''t want Angga to know who Leon is. Afraid that the man would think he was Leon''s biological father. Rere sighed softly, never expected to meet Angga in Jakarta.


    A year ago, Angga was from Surabaya. Why are you in Jakarta? Is Angga currently working in Jakarta? Rere was struggling with his own thoughts.


    Rere looked back at Angga. She breathed a sigh of relief that the man was gone. Luckily he was able to escape. Rere knows that Angga will not give up on approaching him. Even though the incident had passed, Rere couldn''t forget the incident. How Angga when drunk stained him.


    "We should have never met Angga. You are one of the people who traumatized me being in KL. I thought you''d be the protector instead you''re the monster that ate me. Even if you were drunk then you shouldn''t have done it. I''m disappointed Angga."


    *****


    Tia''s hands shook to find a very shocking fact. Dila made their birth certificates as children of Aldebaran and Fadila Elvarette. Dila also registered her three children in the family ID of which Bara was the head of the family. Legally the position of the three children is very strong. DNA tests prove that all three are Bara''s child. Tia also investigates the man who lives with Dila who looks like her husband.


    It turns out that Dila and a man named Dino are only cousins, not husband and wife. They are together for their child. Dila needs a father figure for the triplets while Dino needs a mother figure for Hanin. Tia breathed a sigh of relief after knowing this fact. Tia also secretly investigated Dino''s background. Who is that man? What''s his job? Finding after finding made Tia wide-eyed. Tia almost fainted with her findings. Why is the world so small?

 Chapter 18：Leons Real Father (1)

    Tia blinked and gasped. The world is very narrow. So far, I have been very curious about the figure of the man who got Rere pregnant. Tia was only told what the man''s name was and what his occupation was. Investigating Dila while living in KL reveals another secret.


    Dino Putra Chaniago, a handsome man who had been living with Dila and claimed to be Dila''s husband, turned out to be only the woman''s cousin. The man begins to fall in love with Dila even though he cannot forget the figure of his late wife.


    "Oh my God, this world is so small. Dino is the husband of artist Ananya Shyla who died in an accident. Means Gesa is Ananya''s personal assistant and knows Dino. Rere helped Gesa when the accident occurred. Rere is one of the witnesses todeathstand Ananya''s and she also has a one-nightwith Dino,husband Ananya''s. So Dino CEO of PT. DPC Corporation. So the man Rere saved that night from the entrapment attempt was Dino. Leon''s biological father is Dino, the cousin of Dila, his wife, Mr. Bara."mouth Tia''s gaped at this big fact.


    Unwittingly, Bara and Dino have been swapping roles all this time. Dino became the father of Bara''s three children. Meanwhile, Bara becomes the father of Leon, Dino''s son.


    "Does Mr. Dino know if you have children from Rere?" Tia talks to herself. She devised a plan to reveal the truth. Really can not be digested with logic.


    Tia rushes to take a bath as she will attend theparty sangeet again. Mr. Irfan Khan held this party for four days and four nights.


    The invited guests began to enter the hall. This is the fourth day ofspartyangeet Mr. Irfan Khan''s. The guests reveled in welcoming theparty lastsangeet day''s. They are so happy and excited to be present at the most magnificent wedding party this year. Mr. Irfan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to celebrate his youngest daughter''s wedding. singers were Hollywood also reportedly present at the party last sangeet day''s. The singer was specially contracted by Mr. Irfan to enliven the princess''s wedding. Guests were amazed to see the super luxurious interior of the party room. All decorations wear number one items, even very rare. The party floor is made of expensive granite with glass as the walls. The guests'' eyes are spoiled by the sea view that can be seen from the glass walls. Very beautiful and romantic. Dancing with a partner with the sea as a view.


    As usual, the guests came wearing traditional Indian clothes. Women wear Indian saris, while men wear a kurta. Dila and Dino came hand in hand to the party room. They were just silent. There was no conversation between the two. Dino is still disappointed with Dila''s attitude. How dare Dila bring Bara into the room even Hanin caught them both. Dino''s heart felt like it was torn apart by the wound that Dila had inflicted on him. Not only he was disappointed, but also Hanin. The child loves and cares for Dila very much. That love has already attached to Hanin so she doesn''t want to lose Dila. Hanin loves Dila with all her soul.


    This time Dino couldn''t contain his emotions. His blood was bubbling when he saw Bara. The man smiled at the guests and chatted warmly.


    Dino looked around the party room. The interior is very luxurious and elegant. Rows of expensive flowers lined up neatly throughout the party room. Dino felt this party was like an Indian movie-style wedding. There is happiness in the middle of the party. All the guests dance and laugh together. Dino felt lonely in the crowd. He was so disappointed because Dila could not keep his heart.


    Indian songs started to echo. MC started to open the show. The party room lights suddenly went out, replaced by dim lights.


    "To enliven the event. We will randomly dance partners. Please take a lottery number. For those who get the same number, then you will become a couple," said the MC around the party room with an assistant.


    The guests took the lottery numbers one by one. They cheered happily when the lottery number was the same as their partner''s. This means they will not swap partners.


    "What''s your number?" Dino opened his voice, turned to Dila.


    "49," answered Dila slowly.


    "I''m 36," answered Dino whispering in Dila''s ear.


    "We don''t go to the party, how about No? I can''t dance with strangers," squeaked Dila playing with her long hair that exceeded her shoulders. Dila is like an Indian. It''s like an artist like Disha Patani when she wears traditional Indian clothes.


    "Don''t be Dil. I don''t like Mr. Irfan. I do business cooperation with him. It''s just a place to hang out and have fun."


    "For ladies and gentlemen who have already got the number. Please line up by number. Number one for men please stand here." The MC guides the participants. The man holding lottery number one stands to the left of the MC. "For women, please stand opposite the man," continued the MC again showing where the woman stood.


    The guests began to take positions according to the serial number. Tia and Daniel who were also present at the party pouted. Daniel is paired with Kinanti. Tia is paired with Dino. The last participant Bara paired with Dila. It turned out that they both got the number 49. Dino''s blood was pumping fast. Jealousy came back to haunt him. Dino will follow Bara unwillingly if the man is paired with Dila. Tia quickly understood something, before there was a commotion she blocked Dino.


    "What do you know?" Dino glanced annoyed at Tia.


    "Knows everything."


    "Another man is dancing with my wife shall I shut up?"


    "Wife? Are you not mistaken, sir? Dila is not your wife. Isn''t your wife dead? Dila is just your cousin?" Tia popped her spicy mouth.


    Dino''s steps stopped. He turned to Tia with a cynical look. Felt the woman in front of him knew too much. Dino was silent and did not respond to Tia''s words.


    "It''s not just Dila who swaps partners, but all the guests here. Don''t let your heart be ruled by emotions. Clear your mind."


    "Am I emotional?" Dino was infuriated. Tia knew what was in her heart. "What do you know about my heart?"


    "I can see the future," Tia replied smiling. Tia is really funny. Her facial expression is hilarious. She is like a comedian who is giving Dino entertainment.


    "Nonsense," Dino retorted.


    The MC started giving instructions to the dancing couple. The men began to hold the hands and waist of their partners. Dino did not miss holding Tia''s hand and waist. Even though it was awkward, the man did it anyway.


    "I never talk nonsense," said Tia while dancing with Dino. They dance at a slow tempo.


    "What you were talking about was bullshit."

 Chapter 19：Leons Real Father (2)

    "Sometimes we don''t need to hold on to something that doesn''t belong to us."


    Tia''s words were like lightning in broad daylight to Dino. His body trembled and was shocked. He stopped the dance. Dino fell silent. He was curious about Tia. The man''s reflex pulled Tia from the party room and took her to talk beside the party room that borders the sea.


    "What do you mean by what you say?" Dino asked Tia for an explanation. The woman seemed to know a lot about him.


    "The proverb once said. We should not impose our shoe size on others. If it doesn''t fit, please change the size. I''m just reminding you."


    "What do I need to remember?"


    "I know you are investigating my boss. You want to know his past. You already know who Aldebaran is. Bara is the husband of Fadila Elvarette."


    "Nonsense." Dino was getting angry at Tia''s words.


    "Mr. Bara has lost his memory because of the shooting incident by his political opponent. He was shot because he was looking for Dila who ran away from home. Even though he lost his memory, his feelings for Dila remain the same."


    "What are you talking about?"


    "Never mind, Mr. Dino, you don''t have to pretend anymore. You already know everything. Dila and Bara are still legally husband and wife until now."


    "Dila, my wife is not Bara''s wife," growled Dino in a baritone voice. His breath hitched when he realized that outsiders were interfering in his personal affairs.


    "You are very confident to admit that Dila is your wife. I''ve checked with the relevant agencies. You are Indonesian, aren''t you? You are not a Malaysian citizen. I hope you relent and give them both time. They love each other. Mr. Bara just needs time to remember everything."


    "What kind of nonsense do you want to say?" Dino grabbed Tia''s arm.


    "A Tia never talks nonsense. I already know what your relationship with Dila is. You''re just cousins. I also know that the triplets are the biological children of Mr. Bara."


    "My son''s triplets are not Bara''s child." Dino denies. The man leaves Tia. However, after only taking a few steps, Dino was silent when he heard Tia''s words.


    "If it''s not Mr. Bara''s son, how could the birth certificates have the names of their father Aldebaran and their mother Fadila Elvarette written on them."


    Dino was shocked to hear the words that came out of Tia''s mouth. The woman was terrified and not to be underestimated. Dino knew what Tia was talking about was true because he took care of the triplets'' birth certificate to Padang.


    "Don''t talk nonsense miss." Dino acted normal as if nothing had happened.


    "I''m not an empty barrel as loud as it sounds." Tia took out her cell phone from the small bag that was attached to her waist. Tia shows a copy of the triplets birth certificate.


    Dino choked. The man couldn''t say anything else. He glared at Tia.


    "What do you want?" He whispered with red eyes.


    "But Bara is married," Dino replied curtly.


    "Sir Bara single? He has never married other than Dila."


    "Just losing their memories means they''re not meant to be together anymore."


    "You are very funny Mr. Dino." Tia laughed.


    Dino was surprised by Tia''s change in attitude. The woman was very strange and unpredictable.


    "I have your ace, sir," said Tia with an smile evil.


    "What do you know about me?" Dino even trembled. Suddenly his body stiffened and stood still staring at Tia. I don''t know why the fear arose. Tia confidently and confidently approaches him.


    "Mr. Dino Putra Chaniago," Tia called around Dino.


    "Don''t be silly."


    "Remember the intern who saved you?"


    Dino''s body instantly froze, staring at Tia in awe. Why does this girl know about her past? Dino was silent, giving Tia time to speak. After what happened that night, Dino did find out who the interns were with him that night. After their one-night stand, the girl was not showing the bridge of her nose. The girl never came to hold her accountable and didn''t finish her internship in her office.


    Dino regretted it after knowing the truth. The girl never set him up and just wanted to help him. Dino regretted his words that night. The girl must have been hurt and hurt by his words. Dino looked for the girl''s whereabouts but couldn''t find her. Have searched the campus but the campus does not want to give the full address.


    Dino also discovered the fact that that night someone was going to set him up, but the attempt failed because the intern helped him.


    "What do you know?" Dino softened. Staring at Tia sharply and arrogantly. "Don''t makeup stories if the girl is you. I still remember that girl''s face."


    Tia burst out laughing while holding her stomach. Dino is funny and annoying at the same time.


    "Who wants to admit that that girl is me. Don''t dream, Mr. Dino."


    "So?"


    "You have ruined my best friend''s future. She is pregnant because of your actions."


    "Don''t makeup you." Dino was furious because he was accused of impregnating another woman.


    "I never made up. Rere is pregnant with your child and the child is already two years old." Tia opens her phone and opens the gallery on her phone. Tia sent photos of Rere and Leon to Dino''s WA number.


    Smartphone Dino''screaked. He downloads the photo that Tia sent him. Shock mixed with shock. The boy was very much like him when he was little. The eyes, nose, lips, and face were all hers. Without the need for a DNA test, Dino was sure that it was his son. Dino could still remember Rere''s face well. The events that night hit Dino mentally. Feeling guilty for having committed adultery and snatching the chastity of a girl. His wife had only died seven days and he was already playing with another woman who was not his wife.


    "Is what you said true?" Dino asked to confirm if Tia was honest or not.


    "Can you see my eyes, a sir?" Tia asks Dino to look into his eyes. "Are there any lies here?" The atmosphere became emotional when Tia burst into tears.


    "Do you have any evidence?" Dino could not believe the photo evidence earlier. He still needs more evidence to dispel his suspicions.


    "Of course I have proof. I found out when I did the investigation about you and Dila." Tia gives proof to Dino. She threw the brown folder at Dino. The man read it and gasped¡­


    "After you know this fact, will you still be a barrier between Bara and Dila?"


    "Aren''t you trying to trick me?"


    "I couldn''t have tricked you into creating such a terrible scenario. I''m not that bad. I''m saying this just to make you aware and fix what''s been broken. Do I need to swear on the Koran for you to believe?"


    Dino knew there was no lie from Tia''s eyes. The woman was telling the truth.


    Dino and Tia talk heart to heart like old friends who haven''t seen each other for a long time. The longer he talked with Tia, the more Dino believed that what Tia said was true. Dino swayed and almost fell. Panic, of course, panicked knowing that he had another child from another woman.


    "Mr. Dino are you okay?" Tia carried Dino and brought the man to sit.


    Dino was lost in thought and still had a hard time believing the reality in front of his eyes. Dino just needed time to come to terms with the situation.


    "What about Ree? Is she married?"

 Chapter 20：Dinos Jealousy

    "Does it matter?" Tia glared. For some reason, her emotions exploded when he saw Dino. Why is that man so stupid. Already know to fuck a woman without safety but let her go. The man did not try to find out the condition of the woman he had been with.


    "Of course it''s important. If she gave birth to my child. I will marry her if it is proven that the child born to me is my biological child." Dino never loses. He feels guilty for ruining a girl''s future. Felt like the ugliest man in the world. Dino remembered what he said to Rere. The woman framed him for treasure. Dino was embarrassed to know that Rere was the son of a tycoon in Surabaya. Rere''s wealth didn''t even run out for seven generations because she was so rich. No wonder the girl was arrogant and angry when she said it.


    "You think my friend is a slut? If I hold a gun, I will shoot your head," said Tia with her hands on her hips.


    "Your attitude is not like that of a friend but like a mother who demands accountability from the man who impregnated her daughter." Dino even teased.


    "Think of me as Rere''s mother. You have ruined his future. I don''t know what will happen to you if she doesn''t help you that night. I''m sure if they set you up with an immoral scandal."


    "Can your mouth stop talking?"


    "Can not. There''s a lot I want to talk to you about."


    "Looks like our conversation ends here. I will prove what you say. If that''s true then I''ll¡­."


    "What will it be?"


    "I can''t talk right now." Dino just left Tia.


    Dino looked for Dila to share his thoughts. For now, Dino needs Dila to exchange ideas. What Tia said made him uneasy and thoughtful.


    Jealousy overtook Dino when he saw Bara and Dila dancing together. They are like a couple who love each other. Dino did not like to see the closeness of the two of them. For some reason, Dila and Bara are not willing to be close, even though in reality they are husband and wife. It''s just that he lost his memory so he can''t remember who danced with him.


    The man''s steps stopped when he saw Ananya''s spirit. The woman smiled at him shaking her head. A sign that Dino doesn''t want to fight with Bara.


    Dino was shocked. Somehow he saw Ananya''s spirit. Is this just a hallucination? Dino tried to shake off his bad thoughts. He had to keep Bara and Dila away.


    Dino approached Bara and Dila with a strange feeling. There is anger, disappointment, and jealousy there.


    "Can we talk?" Dino is holding back emotions


    "What do you want to talk about?" Bara felt no need to talk to Dino.


    "Follow me!" Dino''s words sounded terrible to Dila''s ears. His face was cold and unfriendly. He spoke slowly but was able to make Dila shudder.


    "What do you want to talk about No?" She was shaking and scared. If Dino spoke in this tone it meant that the man was furious.


    "This is a conversation between men. You don''t have to interfere." Dino pointed his finger at Dila. "Don''t follow us. Just shut up here. I don''t want to be denied." Dino stared intently. Just watch out for half-sisterDila refutes his orders!


    Bara followed Dino from behind. Bara was wondering what Dino would talk about in her heart. Unbeknownst to Dino and Bara, Dila followed them from behind. Dila felt bad, felt something was going to happen. Dila didn''t want Dino to hurt Bara because he knew the man was sick.


    "How many times do I have to say? Never approach the mother of my children." Dino gave a warning. "You want to be someone''s household wrecker?"


    "What nonsense is this Dino?"


    "I''m not talking nonsense Bar. You''ve stepped on my pride as a man."


    "Why?" Just shrugged. Did not understand the direction of Dino''s conversation. Bara didn''t understand what Dino was saying.


    "You''re still pretending?" Dino was furious to see Bara''s pretentious attitude. If only he had killed innocent people, he might have done it. Bara makes him emotional and jealous. Dino realized he wasn''t worthy of being jealous but¡­..


    "Explain in more detail with me. What did I do wrong?"


    "How dare you enter into my wife''s room." Dino was furious and then threw a raw fist at Bara''s face.


    Bara''s lips immediately bled when Dino''s punch hit the corner of her lips. Dino still does not know himself to admit Dila as his wife even though they are only cousins. According to him, they have behaved like husband and wife, only it is not legalized by law.


    "Never ruin my family. My daughter caught you in Dila''s room, she even witnessed you teasing Dila. I will never let you ruin my household. The five of us are happy with our lives now. Don''t ever come into our life. This is a warning for you. If you dare to approach the mother of my children¡­."


    "What will you do? It wasn''t me who approached Dila, but she who approached me. Secretly Dila followed me." Bara even challenged Dino. He was heartbroken when he was suddenly beaten. Bara felt that she was not teasing Dila. According to him, it was Dila who was itching for spying on him all this time.


    The two of them clashed hitting and kicking each other. Dino''s face was as battered as Bara''s.


    "Bar, Dino. Stop it!" Dila shouted to break up the fight between the two. Dila stood in the middle of the fight between the two men.


    Dino and Bara did not want to budge. They wanted to throw fists but Dila became a shield. Luckily both of them were able to stop him before their fists hit Dila''s pretty face.


    Dila cries seeing the two have a big fight. Dila admits her mistake. She started this misunderstanding.


    "Please ... Don''t fight anymore," Dila pleaded sobbing.

 Chapter 21：Dino VS Bara

    Dino is disappointed in Dila. The man left Dila just like that. Did not accept Dila''s explanation. Dino shouldn''t be angry because Bara is still Dila''s legal husband. Love has blinded his heart so it is difficult to make peace with the situation. Dino had clouded the atmosphere. He should have finished his business with Rere instead of making a fuss with Bara. Tia has also informed that Rere is Bara''s half sister. Unbeknownst to them, fate made them connected. Dino and Bara switched places. Dino is the father of Dila''s three children while Bara is the father to Leon.


    Without saying goodbye, Dino took Hanin, his son with Ananya and the triplets back to KL. The man was still angry and left Dila alone at Pangkor Laut Resort.


    ***


    The earth shook violently. Nature seemed to be in turmoil to vent its anger. Gradually due to the great shaking, the sturdy and strong buildings collapsed like sandcastles on the beach. Everything is level with the ground. Screams and screams of human children are heard in the senses of hearing. Everyone shouted for help to call their respective family members.


    If nature is angry, no human can relieve its anger. The tsunami waves are ferocious. Toss and drowns what it can sink. The sea spits out its guts. Too angry with humans who have destroyed nature, destroyed coral reefs, and threw garbage into the ocean. Now the sea has released its anger. Instantly people realize that they have sinned and made a mistake.


    The voices of mother, father, and son echoed each other. They wept bitterly for the loss of their family. The tsunami has stopped. Leaving many corpses lying around. Not all Pangkor Laut Resort guests have returned to KL. They were in the middle of the sea but the tsunami hit them off the ship.


    "Mother....." a child screams when he realizes that he is not with his parents.


    "Father¡­..".


    "My son where are you?"


    "Daddy. Mommy. Where are you?"


    *****


    Dino was shocked when he received news of an earthquake and tsunami on Pangkor Island. Dino was already in Kuala Lumpur so he and the children were safe. The quake was felt as far as the city of Kuala Lumpur. The entire town panicked and was scared when a big earthquake occurred. The earth shook violently. Hanin and the triplets hugged Dino in fear.


    Dino turned on the television to watch the news. Guilt engulfed Dino when he saw the news that Pangkor Laut Resort had been destroyed, razed to the ground. Corpses are strewn around the island. This is the second time Dino has cried because he lost an important person in his life. First Ananya, second Dila.


    The guilt deepens when he sees the triplets. If Dila becomes a victim, the children will become orphans. Dino regrets having left Dila at Pangkor Laut Resort. If he wasn''t emotional and left Dila maybe she wouldn''t be a victim.


    "Where are you going Dino?" shrieked a middle-aged woman speaking with a British Malay accent.


    "When is mom coming?" Dino was surprised to see his mother was already home. Her mother returned to Jakarta because she missed Lusi, her brother. Lala has been in Jakarta for almost a month. Mama Dino came back to KL when they went to Pangkor Laut Resort.


    "Four days ago. Where is Dila? Are you all right, son? There was an earthquake. How are your grandchildren?" Lala was worried.


    "It''s fine ma," Dino whispered in a deep voice. How did he say if he left Dila on the island of Pangkor.


    "Where''s Dila?" Lala looks for Dila''s whereabouts.


    "Ma, this is Dino''s fault. We fought and I left Dila at Pangkor Laut Resort."


    "Dino you." Lala''s blood boiled when she knew that Dino had the heart to leave Dila, moreover, she knew that a tsunami had occurred on the island. Lala wanted to slap Dino but she couldn''t. He didn''t want to obey his emotions even though Dino gave in when he was slapped.


    "Look for Dila until you find her. How is she? What should I tell Lusi." Lala wept. He approached the children and hugged them.


    "Oma," the four shouted hugging Lala.


    "You must take responsibility for finding their mother until they find her. If Dila is found dead, she will not forgive you, Dino."


    "O-okay Mom," Dino spoke with trembling lips. He immediately went to the post for the tsunami disaster on the island of Pangkor to find out where Dila was.


    *****


    Dian, Zico, Rere, Ainil, and Herman are shocked to watch the news on television. Pangkor Island was hit by a tsunami. The island was devastated. The bodies of tourists and residents are scattered everywhere. Before the tsunami occurred, the earthquake was quite strong. The vibration was felt as far as Penang and Kuala Lumpur.


    "Isn''t Bara at Pangkor Laut Resort?" Herman''s face was pale. The middle-aged man almost fell if not held by Ainil.


    "Papa." Ainil started to cry. He was also worried about Bara''s condition. Although a stepdaughter, Ainil loves Bara like a biological child.


    "Bang Bara, Tia." Rere''s mouth was wide open. His best friend and brother became victims of the tsunami.


    "You have to find out where Bara is," Herman screamed pitifully. He was not ready to lose Bara. If Bara died because of that incident he would be alone without any biological children.


    "I have to go to KL," said Dian, surprising everyone. Diane rubbed her stomach. Even though she was pregnant, it didn''t dampen her courage.


    "Mommy, don''t be crazy." Zico scolds Dian. How could he allow his wife to go to KL to look for Bara who is heavily pregnant?


    "But pi...." Dian tried to persuade her husband.


    "No buts...but... Papi will ask Papi''s subordinates to look for Bara. Who knows there will be aftershocks there. Papi won''t let mama go. Remember Alvin, Alana, and the baby in mama''s womb."


    "Zico is right Dian. You can''t go." Herman agreed with Zico.


    "Then how do we find out about the boss."


    "Let me go to KL. You guys take care of Leon here," said Rere with shaking hands. Even though he was traumatized by coming to KL because he almost died because he saved Gesa, but for the sake of Bara he got rid of that trauma. Rere had to come to make sure of everything.


    "Are you sure Re?" Ainil was even surprised.


    "Sure mother. My brother and friends are there. If not me who will come there?" Rere cried instead. She cried silently.


    "With me." Angga suddenly appeared.


    Everyone was surprised to see a handsome boy with a thin mustache and thick sideburns. Her smile is so sweet that beats the sweetness of Javanese sugar.


    "Who are you?" Ainil pointed at Angga.


    Ree''s heart was pounding. His breath rose and fell when Angga came to the house and approached his family. Why didn''t the man give up on pursuing his love?


    "I''m Angga aunty." Angga approached Ainil and shook hands. Angga also shook hands with Herman. The two old men felt strange.


    "Who are you? Why did you come into the house?" Dian looked cynically at Angga. Even though the man was handsome, the wariness was still there.


    "Sorry I barged into the house. I called Rere but no one came out."


    "What is your relationship with Rere?" Dian even put her hands on her hips feeling suspicious of Angga.


    "He.¡­." Rere glared at Angga.


    "I''m Papa Leon," Angga interrupted quickly.


    Plakkkkkkk.¡­.


    Dian was emotional and then kicked Angga until he fell against the wall of the house.


    Angga fell covered in blood. Zico grimaced holding his breath. Although pregnant his wife''s strength did not disappear, it was even stronger.


    "Angga," shouted Rere helping Angga get up.


    "Are you stupid or what?" Rere is even angry with Angga''s recklessness.


    "It''s up to you to say I''m stupid or what. I just want to be responsible for you." Angga spoke out of breath.


    "If you said you were pregnant at that time. I would not run Re. I will be responsible. Sorry to let you and Leon face the world alone. Sorry again," said Angga regretfully.


    "What does all this mean, Re?" Ainil was furious.

 Chapter 22：Anggas Arrival ( 1 )

    Ainil and Herman brought Rere and Angga to the living room. They want to know the relationship between Angga and Rere in the past. Angga did not dare to look at Ainil because the woman''s eyes were burning like a burning fire. There is fear in Angga. What mother wouldn''t be angry with a man who impregnated her daughter, then the man was irresponsible. In fact, her daughter was pregnant alone without a husband. So many questions and insults from the public about Leon''s status.


    "Who are you?" Ainil glared at Angga. Ainil didn''t like Angga when she looked at the man''s innocent face.


    "I''m Angga aunty."


    "Tell me about your past relationship." Ainil on her hips. Angga increasingly afraid to speak. Ainil''s gaze was deadly.


    Rere just kept silent. Suddenly she was lost for words because Angga made a confession in front of her family. There is a sense of resentment and anger at Angga. Why did Angga act alone without discussing it with him? Rere could only look down in shame. Letting Angga become a victim of Ainil''s anger.


    "Me and Rere were dating when we were in college, auntie, uncle." Angga started to talk. He looked at Ainil and Herman alternately. Angga knows that Herman is Rere''s stepfather because his lover once told him.


    "Oh dating." Ainil''s sarcasm held back her emotions. Her blood was turbulent, why did Angga only appear after so many years. Ainil raised her sleeves up to approach Angga and slapped him.


    "I''m holding my emotions. It''s not good that everything starts with emotion. Calm your soul." Herman prevented his wife from getting angry.


    "But Dad." Ainil wanted to protest, but seeing the look in her husband''s eyes he was silent. Ainil did not dare to protest against her husband.


    "Talk about it, Mom. It has to be with a cool head, not with anger. Indeed, Angga is guilty of Rere, but anger is useless. Everything has happened. What is your purpose in coming here?" It was Herman''s turn to interrogate Angga.


    Angga is a little relieved when Herman is friendlier than Ainil.


    "Tell me about your family background. Why did you come?" Herman began to interrogate Angga. He had to do it to make things clear. So far, Rere doesn''t want to tell who Leon''s real father is. Always silent. Rere would rather be hit and scolded than talk.


    "I''m Angga Prasetyo uncle, auntie," said Angga stammered. He felt hot and cold when he faced his ex-lover''s parents.


    "Where have you been all this time? Why did you only appear now when Leon is already two years old?"


    Where do you want to answer from? He didn''t answer all of Herman''s questions, but he added a new question.


    "Dad," Rere protested to Herman.


    Rere almost cried. Why did Angga have to come to the house and mess everything up? Her life has calmed down with Leon. Her family no longer questioned who Leon''s father was. After Angga appeared everything was broken. The problem reappeared.


    Rere wanted to bang her head against the wall. Can''t stop thinking about Angga''s courage. Why did the man speak without discussing it with her first? Rere''s position went awry. How stupid Angga. Did the man not realize that that night he did not succeed in raping her? Is it luck or bad luck for him? Rere didn''t know how to respond.


    Rere is forced to be patient due to Angga''s actions. I don''t know what will happen in the future if his parents force Rere to marry Angga. Until whenever Rere does not want to marry Angga. Leon''s biological father is not Angga.


    "Then what purpose did you come for?" Ainil opened her voice again after being able to calm her emotions. Her husband is right, there is no need to be emotional about this matter.


    "I want to be responsible for Rere." Angga ventured to look at Ainil''s annoyed face.


    The woman couldn''t hide her anger.


    "After you threw dirt in our faces and then the dirt was clean, you said you wanted to be responsible? You should have been responsible when Rere was pregnant with Leon. Where have you been all this time? I almost kicked my daughter out when she was pregnant." Ainil was furious. Herman again reminded him to be patient.


    "I don''t know if Rere is pregnant, auntie," said Angga with trembling lips.


    "W-what do you mean?" Ainil trembled and was shocked.


    "Rere left me in KL. I admit that I made a mistake on Rere when I was drunk. I really didn''t know if Rere was pregnant with my aunt. If at that time Rere told me I would be responsible. I really don''t know auntie. I just found out recently. We accidentally met at the mall. That''s why I dared to come here to take responsibility for all my actions. It took a lot of courage to come here. I had predicted that aunt and omg would be angry with me. Which parent wouldn''t be angry with the man who impregnated his daughter. Coming after a long time. I understand if you guys don''t like me. I came here for Leon''s sake. I want to give clear status to my son. Luckily our child is a boy, if it''s a girl, my moral burden will be heavier, uncle, aunt. Is it wrong if I correct my mistakes?"


    Ainil''s chest felt tight. Her breath was rising and falling. She was again faced with a complicated problem.

 Chapter 23：Anggas Arrival ( 2 )

    "Is that right Re?" Ainil asked for Rere''s explanation.


    "Is that right, Mom?"


    "Is it true that Angga didn''t know you were pregnant?"


    "That''s right, Mom," replied Rere with sobs. Rere was forced to lie to her parents. Everything felt heavy and stifling.


    Ainil sat on the sofa. Didn''t expect Rere to start this problem. If Rere talked about who got her pregnant maybe the problem wouldn''t be this complicated. Ainil does not need to be ashamed of having grandchildren out of wedlock. The big family even blamed Ainil for not being able to educate their only child. Rere went awry when she saw the clear grains in his mother''s eyes.


    "Rere," Ainil called in a choked voice. Her eyes blankly stared ahead.


    "Yes, mom." Rere just cried answering her mother''s call.


    "I thought it was Angga who didn''t want to be responsible, so you kept silent when we asked who Leon''s real father was. You were afraid that we would hold him accountable. You know that Father and Bara will look for Angga to the end of the world to take responsibility. Just so you know that all this time Mother has hated Leon''s biological father for impregnating you but not being responsible. Why did you do that? What''s the reason you hid all this from Angga? Answered Mom."


    "I-I have my own reasons why I can''t open your mouth. Please...understand me, Mom."


    "You have to understand Mom. Which mother can be silent when her child is pregnant out of wedlock?"


    "I was the wrong auntie." Angga doesn''t want Rere to continue to be blamed. "I made a mistake until Leon came into this world. We didn''t do it on a consensual basis. I forced Rere to do it. Rere didn''t want to marry the man who raped her so she kept silent when she was pregnant."


    Bug.....


    Herman''s blood boils when he finds out that Rere is pregnant due to ****. As a father his pride was trampled. Herman reflexively hit Angga until the man was battered.


    "Enough Dad," shouted Rere protecting Angga from Herman''s tantrum.


    "Let Dad teach him a lesson."


    "I beg you not to do that." Rere knelt and hugged Herman''s legs. He could only cry.


    *****


    "Are you satisfied with destroying my family?" Rere is angry with Angga. Her family gave them time to talk.


    "Why are you angry Re? You should be happy that I dared to come to her face take responsibility."


    "Did I ask for it?" Ree wiped her tears.


    "Get out of here," said Rere gently. "Leon and I have been living a quiet life. Now you come and ruin everything. The wound just healed but you made my parents hurt again. What do you want? Don''t you understand human language? I don''t want to go back with you. We''re done Angga. Please don''t come near me again."


    "Re..."


    Rere threw her hands in the air. She didn''t want to talk to Angga anymore. There''s nothing more to talk about.


    "Okay Re. I''ll go if that''s what you want."


    Rere ignores Angga, pretending that the man never existed. The woman returned to the room and called Gesa. They had met at the mall some time ago. Gesa fled after recovering from depression. Gesa didn''t want to trouble Bara and Rere again. Rere was in danger because of her. Gesa doesn''t want to put those closest to her in danger.


    "Hello Re," said Gesa friendly.


    "Where are you?"


    "Home. Why?"


    "Have you watched TV?"


    "Already. There was an earthquake and tsunami on Pangkor island."


    "Bara and Tia are victims."


    "What?" Gesa shouted in surprise. Didn''t expect his god helper to be a victim. "Have you got any info about your brother?"


    "The embassy has contacted us. Tia and Bara are on the missing persons list. I want to find out where they are. I''m going to KL. Can you accompany me?"


    "I Can." Quickly agreed. It''s not good if you refuse because Rere and Bara have been helping her all this time.


    Gesa immediately came to Rere''s house. They will leave from there. They said goodbye to Herman and Ainil.


    "You guys be careful there. Hope you find your brother soon. I can''t live without Bara." Herman wept bitterly. Herman did not know what to do if in the end Bara was found dead.


    "We pray together, Dad. I''m sure my brother will be fine." Rere tried to comfort Herman.


    "I hope Bara is okay. Mom loves him. Bring your brother home, Rere."


    "Same son-in-law father and mother," said Rere casually.


    "You mean?" Herman was curious.


    "I''ve found where Dila and your grandson." Rere grabbed Herman''s hand.


    "So¡­.."


    "Dila ran away when she was pregnant. She is pregnant with triplets. So far, Dila lives in KL."


    "How do you know?" Herman was shocked, did not expect Rere to know everything.


    "I''ve been looking for Dila''s whereabouts for several years. I''ll tell you again later. We''re going to the airport first." Rere said goodbye to her parents.


    While on the plane, Rere was surprised because there was Angga. The man took a leave and wanted to accompany Rere while in KL. Gesa had already found out where Bara was and prepared their accommodation while there.


    "Why are you following me?" Ree was bloodied. I want to move to a seat but there are no empty seats.


    "Who is he?" Gesa asked curiously.


    Angga reached out, "I am Rere''s girlfriend," said Angga shamelessly.


    "Ex Angga is not a boyfriend." Rere''s teeth chattered seeing Angga''s persistence.


    During the trip, Rere didn''t care about Angga even though the man continued to approach him. Rere asked Gesa to be a shield so Angga couldn''t get close. Two hours away from the plane and to the hotel. Rere and Gesa lay weak in the hotel room. This trip was exhausting for them. For Rere, this trip was not only draining his energy but also his mind. I don''t know why Angga even followed him. Rere gets even more annoyed when Angga stays at the same hotel and their rooms are next to each other.


    After resting for a while Rere and Gesa headed to Pangkor Island. They had found Tia''s whereabouts. So far, Tia and Daniel have been living in a refugee camp. After a few hours of traveling, Rere and Daniel arrived at Pangkor Island. Gesa looked for info about Tia in the information section. Volunteers escorted the two to the tent.


    "Tia," shouted Rere when playing with the children of the refugees.


    "Rere," shouted Tia running after her best friend. The two embraced. Rere also saw Daniel survived. Rere just nodded at Daniel.


    When the three of them spoke. Rere saw Dino''s figure. He was shocked. Rere turned herIface so the man wouldn''t see it. Tia saw the change in Rere''s face. Tia pretended not to know what Rere saw.

 Chapter 24：Meeting the Man of the Past ( 1 )

    POV Rere


    My heart still hurts when I look at Dino from afar. The man''s words still ring in my ears. I will never forget Dino''s words. That''s why until now I never told Dino that she had given birth to his child. I''m not a cheap girl like she thought. What kind of destiny is this? Why do I see him in this refugee tent? Is he looking for his family? Besides, I don''t want to ruin other people''s homes. He already has a wife and children.


    I can''t linger here. I decided to take Tia and Daniel to the hotel and then we searched Bara. I hope he survives the incident. I can''t imagine how our life would be if Bara wasn''t there. He is a man who means a lot to me and Leon. If it wasn''t for him I might have become a bum because my mother kicked me out He loved Leon like he loved his son. I was touched and touched by his attention. I''ve never found a half-brother as good as him. Bara stayed up late when Leon was a baby. How can I not worry about him? It''s good to be proud even though the past is very bad.


    "Re, why are you in such a hurry to go home?" Tia asked me when we were in the car. Gesa became our driver this time because he is a native here. Daniel could have driven but didn''t know the way yet.


    "I''m tired, Tia. I want to take a rest. We have a lot to talk about. You guys are close. Do you have a relationship?" I called Tia and Daniel. I''ve seen that they don''t want to be apart for a second. Their body gestures show their special relationship.


    "Th-that.." Tia looked nervous.


    "Just admit it, Tia. Later Daniel will be angry. You don''t recognize him as a lover." I have material to make fun of Tia.


    Tia''s face was red like a tomato. My guess is right. They both have a special relationship. I am happy if Tia is happy. Tia should have been married. She is twenty-five years old. That''s a pretty mature age for a woman to get married.


    "Wait a minute Gesa. Whose car is that?" Tia looks at the car''s rearview mirror. "Why have you been following us ever since?"


    I looked in the rearview mirror. I snorted in annoyance. Who else if not Angga. The man had nothing to do with it. I was surprised by Angga''s stubbornness. I''ve rejected it many times and it''s still the same.


    "That''s Angga," I replied annoyed. I want to just throw Angga into the swamp so he can''t approach me. I''m annoyed with him.


    "He followed you all the way here?" The look on her face Tia''s was disbelieving.


    "According to you?" I answered flatly. I have no idea. It just adds to my problem. I took a breath then let it out. Our trip was short because I had found Tia and Daniel. I''m just looking for Bara. Once found, I will return to Jakarta. I don''t want to see Dino again. Just mentioning his name irritates me. Seeing Leon''s face always reminds me of that evil event. It''s hard to have a fairy godmother''s heart, even I who fell.


    Arriving at the hotel we talked a lot until midnight. I don''t know who slept first I don''t know. Gesa and Tia slept next to each other while I fell asleep on the sofa. Tonight I am a little calm because Angga doesn''t bother me. I asked Daniel to block him from approaching me.


    Early in the morning, I woke up. I received news from the volunteer team that Bara was found by fishermen in the city of Ipoh. I never thought they could be stranded in that small town.


    Our trip to the city of Ipoh caused drama. Who else is throwing a tantrum if not Angga? I just want to hit that guy. Why so stupid? What language should I speak to him in? Should all the new animal language come out of Angga away from me?

 Chapter 25：Meeting the Man of the Past ( 2 )

    Our trip to the city of Ipoh caused drama. Who else is throwing a tantrum if not Angga? I just want to hit that guy. Why so stupid? What language should I speak to him in? Should all the new animal language come out of Angga away from me?


    The four of us, me, Gesa, Tia, and Daniel headed to the city of Ipoh to pick up Bara.


    Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, is the third-largest city in Malaysia. The location takes about 3 hours by train. The train departs from KL Sentral Kuala Lumpur and stops at Ipoh Railway Station. Local people call it KTM Ipoh. You can also take a car, but it will take longer. I chose to take the car, lazy to take the train. I don''t like crowds.


    The attraction of Ipoh is its old town. Once you get off at the station, you will get an atmosphere vintage. From buildings to vehicles. Regarding transportation, you don''t have to worry. Because access to online taxis is very easy. Communication problems are also not so difficult because residents still often use Malay. It''s easy to find accommodation there. The price is not too expensive when compared to lodging in Kuala Lumpur.


    One of its famous attractions is Concubine Lane. The name of the place is indeed unique, Jalan Concubine or Lorong Concubine. The name was obtained because of the ancient activities that occurred on the route. It is said that the passage was owned by a tycoon who controlled tin ore mining at that time. In addition to trade, this place became the mistress of rich people from China and England in the Malay Land.


    I can''t wait to meet Bara and Dila. I have received information that they are being treated at Pantai Hospital Ipoh. I feel relieved. After nearly ten days of disappearance, they were finally found. Gesa was very speeding with the car. I thought he was a racer racing on the track. I saw that Daniel was screaming at the madness of driving a car.


    Our car entered the hospital parking lot. I immediately asked the information section where Bara''s treatment room was. Let''s go back to throwing a tantrum. I asked Tia and Daniel to clean up the guy. Both of them were forced to not be able to go upstairs.


    "Don''t let Angga meet Bara," I warned Tia and Daniel.


    "Okay Re," replied Tia.


    I walked upstairs with Gesa. But suddenly Gesa came down because his cellphone was left behind. I had to go alone. Gesa also called me and said he would just wait in the car. For a while, I got rid of my annoyance at Angga I opened the door to Bara''s treatment room.


    "Hi honey," said Bara waving at me.


    WTF? What is this? Why call me honey? It sucks my brother''s attitude. I looked around. I saw Dila and...


    My breath stopped when I saw that man. Yes¡­the man who had impregnated me. My neck felt suffocated. I tried to stay calm and not act stupid. My brain thinks fast. That means Bara invites me to play. Fine if that''s what my brother wants. Looks like he wants to warm up Dila. I pretended not to know the man.


    "I''m glad I saw you." Just smiled wryly. It was obvious that his smile was forced. I know Bara is jealous. I conclude that Leon''s father is not¡­ Dino, I mean Dila''s cousin. That''s the info I got from Tia.


    I took off my glasses and approached Bara. "Honey are you okay? I''m worried about you," I said smiling. I was annoyed because Bara asked me to. Venting my frustration, I pinched his waist.


    "I need your explanation," I whispered in Bara''s ear.


    Now, this is the most annoying. Bara is acting totally like an actor in Hollywood. Playing He played a good role. He stroked my back like a husband who had just met his wife after a long separation.


    I was annoyed with his childish attitude. I pinched his waist again.


    "Awwwwww," Bara shouted like someone who had been released. Is it crazy?


    Dino and Dila arrived. flabbergasted and shocked to see Bara''s attitude. I let go of Bara''s embrace and then looked at my sister-in-law.


    "Thank you for saving my husband," I said holding out my hand to Dila.

 Chapter 26：Baras Lie

    Dino and Dila arrived. flabbergasted and shocked to see Bara''s attitude. I let go of Bara''s embrace and then looked at my sister-in-law.


    "Thank you for saving my husband," I said holding out my hand to Dila.


    I saw jealousy in Dila''s eyes. Although she was reluctant but accepted my helping hand. It can be confirmed if Dila still lovesBara.


    "Did you save my husband?" I asked Dila kindly.


    Dila''s face was pale and shocked. will not meet me. I saw Dila clenching her fists out of jealousy. He couldn''t stand the sight of our intimacy.


    I saw Dino silently froze like a statue. I think he has a crush on Dila. Hasn''t he always claimed to be Dila''s husband? This man is shameful and pathetic. By the way? Where is his wife?


    "My name is Rere." I introduce myself. "This is your husband?" I pointed at Dino.


    She even nodded and agreed to my question. You guys are the same. Pretending to cover up feelings. Dila also wants to show off to Bara if she has a partner. Fix! No debate if Dino and Dila are cousins.


    "Honey, how did you know I was here?" Just asked me. Act like a husband.


    "From the disaster post. Your discovery has been reported, dear. Why is this arm bandaged?" I grabbed Bara''s arm which was wrapped in a bandage.


    My face is full of fear that something bad will happen to her.


    "Tell me what happened?" I asked for an explanation.


    "I got hurt from being bitten by a shark?"


    "What?" My shrill voice startled everyone. I covered my mouth, realizing how loud my voice was.


    "Looks like you guys need privacy. We''ll go first," said Dila pulling Dino out of the treatment room.


    I closed the bedroom door after Dila and the man left. I don''t want to mention his name. Luckily my acting was very convincing. He doesn''t know me anymore. What a perverted man! I locked the door from the inside and approached Bara. Just so you know my hands are shaking and sweating.


    "You owe me an explanation." I put my hands on my hips showing a fierce face. "Since when did your memory come back?"


    "What is it Re?" Bara dare not look at my face. He looked away.


    "I know how to cook Dila."


    "You know who that girl is?" Bara even asked for my explanation. He got up from the bed. Holding his bandaged hand.


    "She''s the wife you''ve been looking for, isn''t she?"


    Bara''s eyes widen, can''t believe I know that far.


    "He''s the one you chased when you ran away?"


    "How much do you know?" Just touched my shoulder. Looking at me inquisitively.


    "I''ll talk if I''m honest with me. Since when did the memory recover?"


    "My memory hasn''t recovered Rere."


    "I''m your sister. Even though we''re only half-brothers, but we''re very close. Tell me since when did your memory come back? I know you just want to heat up Dila. Want to know how she feels about you. I also know that you two have triplets. Shaka , Shakel and Salsa."


    "Rere how much do you know about it?"


    "Let''s be honest." I even laughed nudged Bara''s injured arm.


    "What is it," Bara grumbled twisting the bandaged arm.


    " Pretend to be sick?" I guess again makes Bara even more annoyed. Feeling completely skinned.


    "You are more dangerous than Dian."


    "I am more dangerous."


    "So pretending to lose your memory and pretending to be sick so Dila will notice?"


    "How do you know if Dila is my wife? As far as I know at home there are no photos of my wedding with Dila."


    "I went to P city to find out."


    "Why?"


    "I don''t want to see suffering because of the loss of a wife. , your kindness to me will not be reciprocated with anything. That''s why I find out who your wife is. I know it''s not easy for you to go through all this. Almost four years forget yourself and also family."


    Bara crying touched my cheek. He hugged me tightly. Maybe he doesn''t think that I love him so much.


    "Thank you, Re. I can''t say anything. It''s touched that you are like this. Don''t tell me you cooperate with Tia?"


    "Who else is my ally if not him?" I was excited to even pinch both of Bara''s cheeks.


    "She is no longer my wife. She is Dino''s wife." Just gloomy. His face contorted in disappointment.


    "Who said Dila married Dino?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "She and Dino are just cousins. Dino is the son of Aunt Lusi''s sister, your mother-in-law."


    "You know this fact, but keep quiet." Bara pinched my cheek exasperated.


    "Do you remember?"


    "Thank you for everything Re. You are like my little sister. Happy to have a sister like you."


    I kicked Bara''s shin until the man was in pain.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Why lie to me? What are you planning?"


    "You already know what I mean?" Just put on a smile.


    I shrugged, raising and lowering my eyebrows. I''m like a cop interrogating a suspect.


    "Answer my question first. Since when do you remember everything?"


    "Why is it so important to know that my memory has recovered?"


    "Of course it''s very important, to know when I was lied to."


    "I remember everything when I got here. Kinanti told me about my past. My head was spinning at that time. That''s when the memory flashed in my memory. I know that Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa are children from the IVF program. Salsa is very similar to me. It''s just a gender difference."


    I pinched Bara''s arm. He told Dila with a perverted look. Just found out about Bara''s infatuation with his wife.


    Finally, I brought Bara back to KL city. It seems that our return to Jakarta will be delayed because Bara wants to make calculations with Dila. What crazy ideas is he planning?

 Chapter 27：She Gives Birth to My Child? ( 1 )

    POV Dino


    I didn''t want to leave Bara''s treatment room. I saw Rere. The woman is an intern at my office. As a boss, I don''t know her personally because her work is unrelated to me.


    The girl is still the same as before. She''s not like a mother of one. It''s still hard to believe that that night I got her pregnant. I still don''t understand her attitude. Why is Rere pretending not to know me? There is guilt in my heart. I have accused her. I accused her of setting me up for money. What kind of madness is this. I find out who Rere is? It turned out that she was the daughter of f Crazy Rich Surabaya. No wonder she did not accept the humiliation that morning.


    I don''t know where to start. Maybe I''ll just play the game like we don''t know each other. I have never forgotten her face since that night. Her face always haunts me. I had a bad dream because I had tarnished it. I have taken away his honor. I knew she was a virgin when I slept. The bloodstains prove it. I snatched her crown and insulted her.


    I looked at the photo of Rere and Leon. Seeing the boy''s face broke my heart. I have a son but don''t know about his whereabouts. Why don''t I have a bond with him? Is it because the child was born out of wedlock?


    "Are you okay Dil?" I tried to open a chat with Dila. I know she''s jealous. Bara and Rere had made her angry. What dramas will they play? Bara wants to make Dila jealous by admitting her step-sister as a wife. Crazy! You''re out of your mind Bar. I just smiled at their ugly acting.


    "I''m fine," s said firmly.


    I could tell she was crying in her heart. Dila does not want to show her sadness to others. I know her. I''m her cousin who suddenly fell in love with her. It took me quite a while to be able to like women after death Ananya''s. Now I''m feeling flustered. I have a child from another woman. How would mom and Dila react if they found out?


    This world is very small. Fate seems to be playing with us. Bara and I swap roles. For almost four years I was a good father to Bara''s children while she was a good father to my children. Why is our destiny so cruel? What should I do with Rere and Leon?


    "I''m sorry I left you at Pangkor Laut Resort. If you had come with us, you wouldn''t have been stranded by the tsunami."


    "Already No. I am okay. It''s my destiny." She held back tears. She looks tough.


    If you want to cry, just cry. Why were you arrested? I sometimes get annoyed with her attitude. I kept driving the car towards KL. The children already miss Dila.


    I still can''t focus. I still remember what happened that night. I''ve been investigating the events at the bar. Something set me up that night. They had even hired a woman to make the trap drama even more perfect. Luckily Rere found out about their plan and thwarted it. Unfortunately, Rere had bad luck and instead spent the night with me because she drank the wine that had been mixed with the evil drug.


    I created hell in Rere''s life. It must not be easy for him to get through her days. Pregnant out of wedlock and the man who got her pregnant did not marry her.


    "Dila are you okay?" I tried to open a chat with Dila. I know she''s not well. She is jealous and her feelings are broken.


    "You are not well No."


    "What?" I was surprised because Dila knew my sadness.


    "I know you''ve been restless from a lot of thoughts. What are you thinking?"


    I stammered unable to answer Dila''s question. I can''t tell him my problem. Let this be my secret. It''s not time for them to know. During the three hours of the journey, we were silent. Busy struggling with each other''s thoughts.

 Chapter 28：She Gives Birth to My Child? ( 2 )

    I stammered unable to answer Dila''s question. I can''t tell him my problem. Let this be my secret. It''s not time for them to know. During the three hours of the journey, we were silent. Busy struggling with each other''s thoughts.


    Arriving at home. The children ran to welcome their ''Ama''. Hanin, my daughter, and Ananya warmly welcomed Dila''s return. Hanin knows that Dila''s mother is not Ananya. Hanin was too young when my wife died. Until now I''m still trying to find out who killed my wife. Gesa, her assistant disappeared after the incident that night. My hired detective found her in Jakarta but failed to speak. Gesa was too scared. I think he was being chased by killer Ananya''s so she chose to stay in Indonesia. I know that my wife''s killer is no ordinary person. Their police are silent so the case is sketchy.


    I went back to my room to rest. My mind is not calm. I took my phone and called Tia.


    "What plan is being executed by Bara. Why acknowledge Rere as his wife?" I''m straight to the point. Get to the point without further ado.


    I heard Tia laugh. Why is that nosy girl laughing at me?


    "Why sir? You are jealous?" Tia even teased me.


    "Not. I feel sorry for Dila. She cried because she knew Bara had a wife. I wanted to tell a story but¡­"


    "Never tell Mr. Dino." Tia stopped me. It seems that Tia is very afraid if I interfere in Bara and Dila''s business.


    "Then what advantage do I get?"


    "I will help you to get close to Rere or Leon."


    "Tia I''m not a fool. I want to make sure Leon is biological or not. Can you help? If you help I will help Bara access to get close to the triplets. I know that Bara''s memory has returned." I smiled even though Tia couldn''t see it.


    "Mr. Dino," Tia called in a panicked tone.


    "Yes."


    "Me¡­.."


    "Help me or reveal Bara''s secret to Dila? Which one do you choose?" I even gave Tia an ultimatum.


    I know that Tia and Rere are good friends. I also investigated Tia''s background. Stupid me, I can investigate Bara, Rere, and Tia but can''t investigate the mastermind behind my wife''s death. I know that the mystery of Ananya''s death is being kept under wraps so I can''t unravel it.


    "Good, Sir." Tia looks scared by my threat. I''m sure they will unite Dila and Bara. In the end, I will be the loser. I can''t have Dila. Dila''s love is only for Bara and vice versa.


    "I need Leon''s hair sample urgently. You must bring it to me immediately."


    "But sir."


    "I don''t accept excuses. Do it fast or I will complicate Bara and Dila''s relationship."


    "Okay," Tia replied quickly.


    Rere pretended not to know me. Fine if that''s what she wants. I''ll follow the play. To what extent did she pretend. The girl was stubborn and prestigious.


    Tia was scared by my threat. She immediately sent me a sample of Leon''s hair. How Tia did it I don''t know. She is still in KL with Bara and Rere. I immediately took Leon''s hair sample to the hospital. The labor officer also took a sample of my hair. Luckily I know the laboratory doctor so the results can be known quickly.


    Three days after that I got the news. Syaiful, the laboratory doctor called me to read the test results. My chest throbs in pain. Somehow I don''t know. I immediately rushed to the hospital. Can''t wait to know the results.


    I sat in Syaiful''s private room. It is true. Leon is truly my child. The test results prove 99.99% percent that Leon is my son. Oh my God, my eyes are tearing up. I have a son whose presence I do not know. As a father, I will be responsible to him as well as her mother. Somehow I thought of marrying Rere so that Leon would get legal recognition. What a fool with Rere. Starting today I will ''Chase My Son''s Mother''s Love''. I can''t possibly separate from Leon. However, Hanin must be close to her brother. Marriage is the only way for Hanin and Leon to live under the same roof.


    Looks like I have to cooperate with Bara. I helped her plan to approach Dila and she helped me approach Rere. This seems to be mutually beneficial. I immediately contacted Bara and asked her to meet.

 Chapter 29：Plan Of Bara

    Bara calls Tia to come to his room. They had important things to talk about. Bara''s gaze was so sharp that it gave Tia goosebumps.


    "Sir, don''t scare me." Tia shuddered at the sight of Bara''s sparkling eyes.


    Just walked over to the fridge. Take canned drinks. He opened the lid of the drink and drank it until it was finished. He lyrics Tia who is very scared. Bara deliberately intimidated Tia to open her mouth. Bara presses the trash can to open. He threw away the empty can while waiting for Tia''s answer.


    "Why are you silent Tia? Speak. What exactly are you planning with Rere? What kind of rat did you take care of just now?" Bara asked idly. He raised his eyebrows waiting for an answer. Bara asked where Daniel and Tia were when they were in the city of Ipoh. Rere said they were cleaning up a mouse.


    "I''m confused about you. When your memory has recovered, it looks scary in my eyes." Tia pouted her lips, putting on a sad face so that Bara wouldn''t question her. After all, Tia must be true to her promise. Will not tell about Leon''s father to anyone including Bara.


    "I know if you promised Rere you wouldn''t tell anyone who Leon''s biological father is. Fine if that''s what you want. Don''t blame me if Leon''s father will die by my hands. My memory has returned, so I won''t be as gentle as usual. Being too good of a person isn''t good either."


    "Sir." Tia stifled tears. There was no way he could break her promise to Rere. After all, Rere is her best friend. Tia owes a lot to Rere. At least being a protector of Rere can repay all the kindness of her best friend.


    Bara waved his hand in the air, "If you don''t want to talk, don''t talk. I''m not forcing you. I can find it myself without your help. Even though Dian is not beside me, without you I can also do it myself. I''m glad Rere has a friend like you. Thank you for being such a good friend to my sister."


    "You love Rere, don''t you, Sir?" stupid Tia asked. Suddenly her brain is not as smart as usual.


    "Do you think?" Bara replied coldly looking at the bustle of KL city from the window.


    "When did you remember everything?"


    "Is that important?"


    "Important Sir. Let me not be curious," replied Tia honestly.


    Bara just laughed at Tia''s silliness. There is a special entertainment for him to see the secretary''s funny behavior. Tia is almost the same as Dian. Lively and smart. Without speaking, Tia already knew what he wanted. The difference is that Tia is more polite and doesn''t dare to be like Dian. Still keeping the distance between the boss and the subordinates. Dian is too presumptuous to dare to interfere in his personal life.


    "Since when did you become a gossip? Gossip in the office about me, did it start with your mouth?"


    "Sir. I''m not like that. Look for death if I gossip about you and your office friends."


    "Good then. Now I am waiting for your answer to my question. The consequence is that if you don''t speak, Leon''s biological father will die. Is that the mouse you took care of this afternoon?"


    "Sir." Tia''s face was pale. Scratching her head that doesn''t itch. Confused about what to say. Want to say if not say more problems.


    "Do not be afraid. I don''t eat people. I''m just eating this." Bara took an apple on the table and took a bite.


    "Sir, don''t put me in a difficult situation." Tia pleaded. Her body was sweating with fear. Tia already knows Bara''s actions. How Bara destroys political opponents in just minutes. The embers are terrible and scary. It''s not wrong if his political opponent wants to kill the man.


    "I didn''t put you in a difficult situation, Tia. I give you a choice. I''m not forcing you to talk. I emphasize once again. Even without you speaking, I will know who Leon''s biological father is. Sooner or later. One thing I must emphasize here. Don''t talk to Dian when my memory has recovered. Understand?"


    "I don''t want her to interfere. This is my business. Dian and their Dad who always kept my wife a secret when I lost my memory. I don''t like their lies even though the reason is to protect me. Still, I was disappointed in them. Don''t know if I love Dila?"


    "We know how much you love Dila," Tia squeaked, mentioning Dila''s name. "Even though you have lost your memory, your heart never forgets who the owner is. When love has found its master, whatever happens, will never change everything. I understand your feelings."

 Chapter 30：Talk With Tia

    "We know how much you love Dila," Tia squeaked, mentioning Dila''s name. "Even though you have lost your memory, your heart never forgets who the owner is. When love has found its master, whatever happens, will never change everything. I understand your feelings."


    "If you understand, please understand my feelings as a brother. Which brother wouldn''t be furious if his little sister got pregnant without knowing who got her pregnant? Rere gave birth to my niece out of wedlock. She is an illegitimate child, people say. Tell the truth. Who raped Rere? How dare she be so impudent to Aldebaran''s sister." Bara clenched her fists until her fingernails turned white.


    "Sir," Tia whispered, seeing the anger in Bara''s eyes.


    "If Rere is pregnant with her boyfriend, she will ask her boyfriend to be responsible. It''s not. That means she''s hiding something. Still don''t want to talk?"


    "Sir promise me not to do the things that Rere is afraid of."


    "What do you mean?"


    Tia tells everything. What is Rere''s fear that he doesn''t want to talk about who Leon''s biological father is and doesn''t hold him accountable?


    "Oh my gosh, Re." Bara massaged his temples not understanding his sister''s, way of thinking. "Why is Rere that naive. He''s either too stupid or too kind. After all Leon had to get legal recognition. I don''t want the child to be insulted when he grows up. Rere doesn''t want to interact with other people because she''s shy. The mental burden for me as an older brother`. So I have to finish this homework before finishing my business with my wife."


    "Your wife? Since when did you have a wife?"


    "What did you say?"


    "Sorry sir, just kidding?" Tia raised her finger in a V shape.


    "Dila is still my wife legally. Thank you for investigating Dila until you get a copy of the twins'' birth certificates. That can be proof for me to get Dila back."


    "You want to refer to Mrs. Dila."


    "Of course." Just curved a smile. He remembered how spoiled Dila was and his hugs when they slept together. Longing to touch his heart. The lover longs for the beloved. There is a feeling that has been lost for so long has returned Bara is happy to have found her love. His life has returned after his memory returns. "I want to thank Kinanti. If it weren''t for that woman maybe my memory wouldn''t come back."


    "Don''t tell me you remember when you had a headache when you saw Kinanti?"


    Bara folded his arms across his chest. His heart is blossoming. "Hurry up and tell me about Leon''s father." Bara did not forget the purpose of calling Tia.


    "So that''s the story? Dino, Dila''s cousin is Leon''s biological father. This world turned out to be small. Unbeknownst to us, we''ve been changing places." Just support the chin.


    "Sir, for God''s sake don''t tell Rere if you know from me." unconsciously Tia grabbed arm the boss''s.


    Bara pouted, looking coldly at Tia. The girl realized then removed her hand from Bara''s strong arm.


    "I''m sorry sir. Not on purpose," Tia squeaked showing rows of white teeth.


    "I understand your feelings. Did Diane contact you?"


    "What?" Tia''s brow furrowed not understanding Bara''s meaning. Tia is not focused.


    "Oh my gosh, Tia. Why are you this stupid?" Bara massaged his temples.


    "Sorry, Sir. I''m stupid." Tia cursed herself. Why can''t you focus on an important situation like this? It was clear what the boss meant was Dian.


    "There''s no need to curse yourself. I understand your condition. On the one hand, you want to protect your best friend, on the other you have to carry out the orders of your superiors."


    "Thank you sir for understanding my condition."


    "You don''t think I''m good because the task you are going to do is very heavy."


    "What?" Tia is shocked. Fear of getting a task that he can not do.


    "Keep it a secret from Dian. You sure are good at manipulating."


    "Sir."


    "Come on, don''t be silly. I know who you are, Nur Fristia Hayati," Bara teased, saying Tia''s full name. "Don''t tell me if Hayati is tired. I do not like." Bara teased the secretary. The man arched a smile.


    Have long Tia did not viewed Bara smiling like today.


    "Hehehehe," Tia said with a forced smile. "Your tone of voice scares me."


    "Ooh?" Bara laughed at Tia.


    "Tia," called Bara.


    "Yes Sir." Tia is quick to respond.


    "Give me the results of your investigation about Dila and my children." Just put up a hand.


    "What do you mean?"


    "Copies of family ID and triplets birth certificates."


    "Good, Sir. Later I asked again the detective I hired. The file was lost to me when the tsunami hit. The file is on my phone. My phone is lost. Where have you been stranded for ten days? How can it be with Mrs. Dila?" Tia curiously ventured to ask.


    "Is it important to you?" Reply to Bara coldly.


    "If you want to tell a story." Tia smiled cutely. It seems that the boss loves Dila. Many people are crazy and stupid because of love, including the boss.

 Chapter 31：Bara Meets Angga

    "Is it important to you?" Reply to Bara coldly.


    "Ask to buy a new cellphone with Rere! Find it fast for me."


    "For me sir? iPhone, sir." Tia smiled happily.


    "No, for babies. Already know still ask. Sometimes you are smart and stupid at the same time. It''s up to you to buy an iPhone or the like. Think of it as a fee for your work."


    "Ishhh , Sir," squeaked Tia spoiled.


    "Nur quickly did what I told him to do. Mobile for me does not forget. Update my old number."


    "Sir, don''t call me Nur." Tia does not accept being called Nur. Her name is often the subject of ridicule.


    "Why?" Bara shrugged. "No, your name is Nur. Nur, Tia, Hayati. I like to call. Don''t be ashamed to use that name. Your parents are having a hard time finding names."


    "Sir," Tia grumbled, stomping her feet on the floor.


    "What is wrong with me?" Just holding hands. He laughed seeing his secretary angry. When are you going to tease Tia? Bara is happy that Rere has found the right friend.


    "Promise sir. Don''t hurt Leon''s father. He didn''t know that Rere was pregnant." Tia reminded Bara once.


    "Already. Don''t be fussy. Go away." Just waved his hand.


    Tia leaves Bara''s room with mixed feelings. Afraid that Bara would be cruel to Dino. During this time Dino does not know the birth of Leon. So, Dino is irresponsible.


    After Tia left. Just a bath. The man sings under the splashing water. Happily, his memory has returned.


    "Honey wait for me. I''ll pick you up. I have never wasted an opportunity that God has given me."


    Bara ended his bathing session. The man worships. Just put your hands on God. Asking for forgiveness and guidance about his household.


    Bara''s prayer was interrupted by the noise. The man finished his prayer. Bara took off the cap, then went outside. He was very familiar with the angry woman''s voice.


    "Let go of me, Angga." Rere tried to free her hand from Angga''s grip.


    "Rere we have to talk. Allow me to take responsibility for my actions."


    "I don''t want to get married. How many times have I told you? Leon and I are already happy." Rere is firm in her stance. Even though Angga insists on taking responsibility, she doesn''t want to do it because of her children. Rere''s love has faded the night Angga abused him.


    "What is this?" Bara''s voice sounded scary. Rere was horrified to see the anger in his brother''s eyes


    "You don''t interfere." Angga even scolded Bara.


    Bara approached Angga and pulled the man''s collar. Angga even lifted to the top. His feet floated in the air. Angga''s face was pale when he saw the anger and hatred in Bara''s eyes.


    "Who are you?" Angga spoke haltingly.


    "I should ask who are you?" Bara lowered Angga and threw the man''s body. "How dare we force my sister. Get your hands off my sister''s body if you don''t want me to break them."


    "Brother?" Think confusion. One year Rere was the only child. Where''s your brother from?"


    "Bara please...." Rere shook her head so that Bara wouldn''t hurt Angga.


    "Go," Rere asked Angga to leave before getting angry with Bara


    "I will not go Rere before our business is finished."


    "What''s your business with Rere?" Bara glared at Angga.


    "I am the man who impregnated Rere."


    Angga''s words get a hit from Bara. Rere screamed seeing Angga hit by Bara. Blood flowed from Angga''s nose and lips. Just smiled wryly.


    This man has the guts to claim to be the biological father. Stupid man! Just cursed in the heart.


    "You bastards. How dare you come after tarnishing my sister and embarrassing her. You''re not a man. Coward. Only cowards run away from responsibility."


    "I can explain everything. It''s not what you think. There is a misunderstanding here. I will explain this matter."


    "There''s nothing to explain. Everything is clear. You''re a coward!". Bara released his emotions to Angga even though he knew the truth. At least teach Angga a lesson for trying to tarnish Rere at that time.

 Chapter 32：Broken Heart ( 1 )

    "I didn''t know Rere was pregnant at the time." Take self-defense. He surrendered to receive blow after blow Bara. Battered Angga tried to fight, but lost strongly.


    Bara grabbed Angga''s collar and pulled him into his room. Don''t want the hotel to see their fight. Bara threw Angga''s body on the sofa. The man staggered and slumped on the sofa.


    "How dare you sully my sister." Bara looked coldly at Angga. Angga''s face was battered and his lips were swollen. The blood had dried on his face.


    "I''m sorry Bar." Angga wept bitterly. He deserved a hit from Bara. Which brother is not angry to know that his sister was tainted and then pregnant out of wedlock.


    "You''re too late to apologize," Bara growled with chapped lips. He wanted to beat Angga again but Rere protected the man, using his body as a shield.


    "Get out of the way!" Bara asks Rere to stay away.


    Rere''s tears broke. She cried silently. Her heart ached to see Angga hurt. Once Bara was angry, it made her ex-lover weak and helpless. Rere begged Bara to stop hitting Angga. She didn''t want the man to get hurt and die at the hands of his brother. Rere pouted, kneeling in front of Bara.


    Bara wiped his tears, trying to hold back her tears. Can''t understand why Rere has to hide who Leon''s biological father is. Bara ducked, then touched Rere''s chin.


    "Tell me. Why aren''t you talking? Suppose you said he was tainting you." Bara pointed at Angga who lay weakly on the sofa. "You will break his arm. Rere, you are like my own brother. Because of you, I feel like an older sister. You love me like your own brother. I can''t let your tears fall because of that bastard. that bastard."


    "Bar, please¡­.If you love me don''t do it again. I don''t want you to kill Angga. Don''t stain this hand Bar." Rere grabbed Bara''s hand.


    "I don''t want to bother you guys," Rere replied in tears.


    "I am your brother, not someone else." Bara furiously touched Rere''s cheek and then wiped her sister''s tears. Bara hugged Rere tightly.


    The girl could only cry in Bara''s arms. There was nothing Rere could do but cry.


    "Stop crying. I don''t like seeing it," said Bara coldly. Rere shuddered at Bara''s voice. Slow but thrilling, sound scary.


    "I will be responsible," said Angga breathlessly. He was exhausted from being beaten.


    "Why are you responsible if I have taken over everything?" Bara cynically looked at Angga. He watched Angga from head to toe. Intimidating the man.


    "Do not interfere. You are not Rere''s sibling." Angga dared to speak out against Bara.


    "There is no blood relationship between us, but the marriage of my father and mother Rere made us brothers. I love and protect him like my own sister." Just flicked Angga.


    "Re. Marry me," said Angga pleadingly, ignoring Bara. The man stayed with his goal. Married Ree.


    "I will not marry you. There will never be a marriage between us," shouted Rere rebuking Angga.


    "Why Re? Don''t you love Leon?"


    "Never ask my love for Leon. If I didn''t love him, maybe when he was in the womb I would have dropped him." Rere''s eyes flashed.


    "Re, why talk like that?" Angga regretted Rere''s words.


    "You provoked me Angga. How many times have I told you that I don''t want to marry you? We can''t get married."


    "Why?" Hold back tears. Shame as a man crying out of love, but it can''t be helped.


    "I don''t want to marry you. That day I decided to forget everything and end our relationship," replied Rere hysterically. Bara just gaped when she saw Rere angry. This is the first time Bara has seen his sister''s anger.


    "What do you think I am?" Rere pointed at his chest. "Sick Angga. You have incised a deep wound in my heart. Just so you know that that night I experienced the most thrilling event in my life. I was almost killed by people, I felt scared and anxious. I was afraid they would find me. monster. I don''t recognize you anymore Angga. Where''s a good, funny, and cute boyfriend to me. That day you showed your mask Angga. I hate you since that day."


    "Why don''t you want to get married?" Just open the voice.


    "What?" Rere gasped. Surprised by Bara''s speech.


    "If he tarnishes you, it means you have to marry Angga to clear our family''s good name. Leon must get legal recognition. This is Indonesia Rere, not Europe. You can''t have children easily but your status is still a girl. Marry Angga." Bara''s words were like a verdict in Rere''s ears. Bara did it on purpose to pressure Rere to be honest.

 Chapter 33：Broken Heart ( 2 )

    "If he tarnishes you, it means you have to marry Angga to clear our family''s good name. Leon must get legal recognition. This is Indonesia Rere, not Europe. You can''t have children easily but your status is still a girl. Marry Angga." Bara''s words were like a verdict in Rere''s ears. Bara did it on purpose to pressure Rere to be honest.


    "Do not want." Ree shook her head. "I will never marry Angga. Please¡­.Don''t force me Bar. If you love me, don''t force me." Rere wept bitterly.


    "You hate me so much? You don''t want to marry me for our child?" Angga got up holding his stomach which hurt from Bara''s kick.


    "Re why do you have the heart?" Angga''s tears spilled without him knowing it. Rere''s words pierced his heart, right on target. He felt pain. People say that because of one mistake, people will forget a thousand of our goodness. Even though men are forbidden to cry, Angga can''t contain his feelings.


    Bara still saw the love in Rere''s eyes for Angga but the woman avoided it and refused to admit it.


    "You just had the heart at that time. Why can''t I?" Ketus Rere replied to Angga''s question. "Go away, get out of my life. Take all the memories of us. Our relationship can no longer be continued. You will not understand this pain. You are a monster. You should be my protector instead of trying to **** me that night."


    "Trying to **** you?" Angga shuddered, making sure if what he heard was wrong. "Does that mean I didn''t **** you that time?"


    "No," replied Rere firmly. She must be honest rather than Angga being the butt of Bara. For so long harbored feelings, finally, Rere had to say it. Don''t want Angga to be a victim. Don''t want Bara to spill Angga''s blood. The truth must be told even if it hurts.


    "That day I..."


    "I know. That day you abused me but didn''t **** me. Tia saved me. She came to the apartment. Tia heard my screams. Tia hit you on the head with a vase of flowers until you fainted. Almost just did it to me. I was helpless under the confinement. You don''t remember being drunk." Rere held his chest. It hurts to reveal that dark event. Her boyfriend tried to **** her. Which woman is not disappointed and hurt.


    "Don''t lie Re. You told me so that I wouldn''t chase you anymore." Angga denied Rere''s argument.


    "Just a DNA test if you don''t believe me," replied Rere lightly. "I make sure Leon''s DNA won''t match yours."


    "Don''t makeup Rere." Just furious. "Who is Leon''s real father?" The man was acting again.


    "Say Re. Leon''s father is me," said Angga forcing.


    "In what language should I tell you? Don''t you understand? You''re not Leon''s father. I''m not lying. Do I have to swear on the Koran for you to believe it?" Rere snapped back at Leon.


    Prak...


    Angga''s heart is broken. From eyes it Rere''s could be seen that the woman was not lying with her words. It hurts Angga to know the truth.


    "Then who is Leon''s father? Are you having an affair with another man?" Angga even accused Rere of doing nothing.


    "I''m not cheap like that."


    "Then why are you pregnant?" Angga wants an explanation.


    "None of your business. This is my life, you are just a stranger who has no right to know how my life is. From this moment on, stay away from us. Never come again."


    Angga''s chest felt tight when the words came out of Rere''s sweet mouth. It was hard for her to believe that Rere was pregnant with another man. Rere''s innocent and innocent girl can do naughty things. Angga feels betrayed.


    "I didn''t think you were that low," said Angga furiously clenched his fists.


    "I am a lowly woman. Don''t approach this lowly woman," Rere shot back. There was a sense of relief in his heart after revealing the truth.


    Angga left in front of Rere and Bara feeling disappointed. He slammed the bedroom door hard. It hurts, I feel pain in the pit of her heart. The woman he fought for turned out to be playing in love with another man until he got pregnant.


    Bara folded his arms, staring intently at Rere who was crying bitterly. No matter how bitter the truth is, it must be revealed. Bara approached Rere and hugged him. Bara stroked Rere''s hair. He understood how hurt Rere was to reveal everything. Not many victims of harassment dare to speak up like Rere even though it''s too late.


    "Bar, I''m evil," whispered Rere hitting Bara''s chest.


    "Yes, you are evil." Bara even agreed with Rere''s words.

 Chapter 34：Reres Rejection

    Bara folded his arms, staring intently at Rere who was crying bitterly. No matter how bitter the truth is, it must be revealed. Bara approached Rere and hugged him. Bara stroked Rere''s hair. He understood how hurt Rere was to reveal everything. Not many victims of harassment dare to speak up like Rere even though it''s too late.


    "Bar, I''m evil," whispered Rere hitting Bara''s chest.


    "Yes, you are evil." Bara even agreed with Rere''s words.


    "Why do you say I''m evil?" Rere protested, releasing Bara''s arms.


    "It''s bad to have lied to so many people. How long have you been keeping this secret? Tell me! Why don''t you want the man who got you pregnant to be responsible?"


    "Don''t force me Bar." Rere pleaded.


    "Are you afraid to come to KL because of that man and afraid of being hunted by killer Ananya?"


    "That you know. I dared to come just for your sake. Making sure you''re okay."


    "Don''t think about me. Think about your happiness. Leon is already two years old. You have to think about his future. Even though he''s a boy, he doesn''t need a guardian when he gets married, but Leon still has the right to know who his biological father is. I''m just an uncle to Leon. I was a father cannot replace the role of Leon''s biological father. Talk to Rere. In the past, I couldn''t force it because of my limitations. Now I can do everything. Before I find him with my way and then kill him, you better tell me first."


    "You''re threatening me?" Rere backed away from Bara.


    "Think of it that way. Talk about who impregnated you?"


    "Not who ,one-night Angga." Rere held the tightness in his chest.


    Bara couldn''t understand Rere''s way of thinking. He had to be patient waiting for Rere''s honesty even though he knew who Leon''s father was.


    *****


    "Re. You have to help me to get Dila back. We can use the children to suppress Dila."


    "What?"


    "Continue roles You as wives mock me. Go to Dila and press her. Get him back with me. I don''t want to lose him again."


    "But Bar¡­. Isn''t it too cruel to use children?"


    "Not. Children''s weakness as well as Dila''s strength. Only they can help me get back with their mother."


    "That''s up to you then. I can only help you."


    *****


    Bara and Tia go to see Dino. They had an appointment at a restaurant. The three of them conspired behind Rere.


    "Good afternoon future brother-in-law," Dino sarcastically sneered at Bara.


    "So confident that you call me future brother-in-law." Bara tapped Dino''s shoulder.


    "If you stop me, I''ll be your brother-in-law. I will prevent you from referring to Dila."


    "Damn you." Bara even hit Dino''s stomach. Just pretend you don''t mean to hurt.


    The interaction between Dino and Bara made Tia shudder. Since when did they become close like friends? Haven''t they been like enemies fighting over Dila?


    Tia left Dino and Bara because they wanted privacy. If Tia knew that she would be abused, it would be better if she brought Daniel to have a friend to chat with.


    "Bar thanks for taking care of, protecting Rere and Leon all this time," Dino said sincerely from the bottom of his heart. He held her hand like a friend.


    "You''re welcome No. Thank you for taking care of and loving the triplets all this time."


    "Bar, I want to marry Rere."


    Coal''s drink shot up to Dino''s face. The man took a tissue and wiped Dino''s face.


    "Gosh Bar why are you squirting anyway?"


    "You just surprised me."


    "Why are you surprised?"


    "You want to marry Rere? Just so you know until now Rere doesn''t want to tell who Leon''s father is. I beat up his ex-boyfriend but still she kept silent. Stubborn bastard."


    "Ex-boyfriend?"


    "Yes. Rere''s ex-boyfriend comes claiming to be Leon''s father. Think his name. I beat it. It turns out that after your one night stand, Rere was almost raped by Angga. Luckily Tia came at such a fast time that the **** didn''t happen."


    "I''m so sorry Ree. I''ve made it difficult for him. I''m sorry Bar. If I had known she was pregnant I would have been responsible. I came to you to ask you to bless me to marry Rere. Only by getting married can I take responsibility for everything."


    "I know you''re a good person No. You are a responsible man. I give my blessing to you, but it''s not easy to win Rere''s heart. She''s hard as a rock. But I have a condition."


    "What?" Dino tried to guess Bara''s requirements.


    "Make it easy for me to approach the children. I want to give Dila a small punishment for leaving me." Bara smirked at Dino.


    "I''ve seen your perverted brain at work." Dino even teased Bara.


    Bara stretched out her hand for a handshake. Without thinking twice, Dino welcomed Bara''s hand.

 Chapter 35：Rere Drama Queen ( 1 )

    According to Bara''s order, Rere acted as the brother''s pretend wife. Rere asks Gesa''s help to find out where Dila''s home address is in Kuala Lumpur, even though Bara already knows where Dila lives because Dino has told him. Bara staged behind Rere to bring him closer to Dino


    Gesa so deftly finding out because Rere said this mission was important. Rere also told Gesa a story about Bara and Dila. Urge to repay the kindness of Bara and Rere who have helped him during his escape from killer Ananya''s.


    "Good luck Re," Gesa said in the car. Urge not to come into the house. She was just waiting in the car. Rere parked across the street from Dila''s house.


    Scandinavian -style houses stand tall in front of my eyes. A house that has an aesthetic and artistic look is so eye -catching. It offers simplicity combined with modern and minimalist looks. Rere rang the doorbell. Urge to see it from inside the car. How shocked Gesa was until he shouted loudly. It was Dino who opened the door.


    "Dino," Gesa said with a gaping mouth. The world is narrow. It turns out that Dino lives on the same roof with Dila. "So Dino is a cousin of Bara''s wife?" Urged to blink in disbelief at what he saw. "This is my chance to talk to Dino about Ananya''s death. Is this the right time?"


    The heart was Gesa''s beating faster. The vibration was felt in her heart. I remembered Ananya''s words before the woman died.


    Take care of my children and husband


    Gesa''s tears spilled without realizing it. The flash of shadows of the past swirled in his brain. How panicked they both were when the car that Ananya driving was had a blown brake. supposed Urges to drive, but for some reason that night Ananya insisted on taking the car.


    "Can I carry out your mandate? I can''t keep Dino and Hanin. I''m back, but I''m back to reveal the truth. I''ve been hiding too much. I must be brave to speak in public if you die of murder, not of drunkenness. I''m not They are willing to insult you. You are a good person Ananya. Not only good as my employer but also good as a sister. You consider me as your sister. You treat me well. Ananya, despite the life at stake. The truth must be upheld. I must clear your good name, but I''m confused. How do I do it? " Gesa was still staring at Rere and Dino who were talking.


    "Find who?" Dino asked Rere. "Aren''t you Bara''s wife?" Dino pretended to ask to play his role.


    How far will you be acting Rere? Judges "Right," Rere chuckled. She laughed and grinned that someone would believe if she was Aldebaran''s wife.


    "What''s coming here?" Dino has a handsome waist. Pretending to be unfriendly so Rere doesn''t suspect anything.


    "I want to meet Dila can I?"


    "What''s wrong?"


    "You Dila''s husband?"


    "No. I''m his cousin."


    "What can meet Dila?" Rere asked again. Rere was a little upset actually because Dino didn''t let her in, but the girl tried to be patient. Carrying out this mission takes patience.


    "What''s your reason."


    "Just call Rere. RERE."


    "You seem younger than me. It means I just called Rere.


    "That''s better." Cut Rere quickly.


    "Rere. Dila is busy taking care of the children. If you want to meet Dila, don''t do it in the morning. Come during the day when the children go to school." Dino commented with a smile, closing the gate but Rere''s legs were already blocking. The man held back a laugh seeing how persistently Rere wanted to meet Dila.


    Fuck Bar! Dino cursed Bara in his heart.


    "Daddy aren''t we going to school?" Hanin approached Dino.


    Rere looked at Hanin from top to bottom. The child was very beautiful in a school uniform wrap. Hanin is very beautiful with hair in ponytails.


    "Yes. Wait a minute." Dino stroked Hanin''s cheek and kissed her.


    "She is a beautiful child," praised Rere.


    "How do you know this is my daughter?" Dino stared at Rere pretending not to like. Dino''s arrogant and arrogant style is like the CEO in a novel.


    "Her face is similar."


    "Oooooo." Dino manggut-manggut.


    "Who is aunty this?" Hanin looked at Rere who was smiling at him.


    "S-she¡­..."


    "Aunty is her friend mommy Dila."


    "Mommy''s friend. Wait. I called mom." Hanin left Dino and Rere alone.


    Dino has a handsome waist. Looking at Rere with a look of judes. "Why insist on meeting Dila? Don''t say you want to hurt Dila?"


    "You just met me for the first time but you don''t like me anymore. If you know me you can fall in love later" Rere grumbled.


    "I want to fall in love with someone''s wife." Dino even teased Rere. "This is our second meeting. I saw you in the hospital."


    "I''m sorry not to see. I won''t see a man other than my husband," said Rere taking off his sunglasses.


    "A loyal wife. So I want to show off to Dila. Hi Dila, I''m Rerenew wife Bara''s." Dino waved his hand parodying the girl''s style while showing off.


    Rere pursed her lips, annoyed but unwilling to show it.


    [Patience Re. For the sake of your mission, you have to hold on. It can''t fail. Do this for Bara''s sake. You have promised to unite Bara and Dila]

 Chapter 36：Rere Drama Queen ( 2 )

    "A loyal wife. So I want to show off to Dila. Hi Dila, I''m Rerenew wife Bara''s." Dino waved his hand parodying the girl''s style while showing off.


    Rere pursed her lips, annoyed but unwilling to show it.


    [Patience Re. For the sake of your mission, you have to hold on. It can''t fail. Do this for Bara''s sake. You have promised to unite Bara and Dila]


    "I''m not a drama queen. Don''t think badly about people."


    "You advised me in my own house?"


    "Why are you so annoying." Rere''s teeth chattered. "What''s wrong with me coming here?"


    "Wrong. In the morning visit people''s houses. "


    " What''s worse is not to honor the guests who come. As a guest, I have been polite and polite. "


    " Are you giving me lectures? "


    "Just think of it that way."


    "Aunty, Mommy asked Hanin to escort Aunty." Hanin pulled Rere''s hand away.


    Rere stuck out her tongue mocking Dino. "Dila knows how to honor guests. If there are guests, they are not invited to talk in front of the fence, but to talk in the house and serve drinks." Rere teased Dino again.


    "The game has just started Re," Dino said softly as Rere left with his daughter. "Hanin is close to the new mother-to-be." Dino amused himself.


    Rere followed Hanin. The woman was amazed by the interior of Dino''s house. Simple yet luxurious. Rere smiled sweetly at Dila who was waiting for her in the living room. There are already triplets.


    "Say hello aunty!" Dila ordered her three children to shake hands with Rere.


    The three approached Rere and shook the woman''s hand.


    "Oh, she''s beautiful. What''s your name?" Rere asked while shaking hands with Salsa.


    "Salsabila Abadi Mecca. Call me Salsa."


    "Beautiful name."


    "What are these handsome guys called?" Rere asked as Shaka and Shakel shook hands with her.


    "Shakel."


    "Shaka."


    "Duh, you''re so handsome. You''re handsome in the West." Rere looked down, touching Shaka and chins Shakel''s. "If you''re big, there are a lot of girls who are clumsy."


    "Let''s go to school," Hanin said to the triplets.


    "Mommy there are guests, son. Go with Hanin''s union next. Daddy is waiting for you." Dila touched the heads of her three children in turn.


    "Ok mom," the three said compactly.


    Hanin and the triplets leave Dila and Rere.


    "Love you, mom," they said showing their thumbs and forefingers (Korean -style love emoticon).


    "Love you too," Dila responded to the love greetings from the children, then she waved.


    "What''s the matter, Rere coming here?" Dila asked with a feeling of jealousy. How not be jealous if Bara is married again, his wife is very beautiful and younger than him. Dila guessed that Rere was still 25 years old. Bara is now 39 years old. Their age range is 14 years. Dila is currently 34 years old.


    "There''s something important I''m going to talk to Dila about."


    "Important?" Dila frowned. "What''s the matter?"


    "Don''t be in a hurry. We just met. I''m sorry to bother you in the morning. You already know if I''m Bara''s wife."


    "Of course," Dila replied annoyed.


    Dila serves drinks to Rere. The woman immediately drank, happened to be thirsty.


    "Thank you for your kind welcome Dila. I want to thank you for saving my husband. Thank you for keeping him from Kinanti''s grievances."


    "Do you know Kinan?"


    "Of course I know him. She repeatedly tried to seduce my husband," Rere said, emphasizing the phrase ''my husband''. Seeing Dila''s reaction. The allegation was true, there was a flash of emotion in Dila''s eyes. The woman still loves Bara. That love is still sprouting now.


    "Bara has saved me from a tsunami just in case I reciprocate."


    "Of course. It''s natural to reciprocate the kindness of those who have helped us."


    "Rere came here just to say that?"


    "That''s not all. There''s something else I want to discuss with Dila."


    "What''s that?" Dila is curious. She opened the snack lid and ate it. "Eat Re." Dila offers snacks.


    Rere took a snack and put it in his mouth. He took a little because he was going to talk to Dila.


    "I know if I wasn''t the first for Bara. I married him when Bara lost his memory. I don''t know what his attitude was to us when his memory had returned. Did he remember me or forget me?" Rere smiled ironically.


    Rere''s acting is so natural that Dila believes in him.


    "Why is Rere talking like that?" Dila was overwhelmed with curiosity.


    "Yes, I have to encourage. I married Bara with the condition that he is still ill. I have to prepare mentally when he remembers everything. We will be forgotten."


    "Us? You mean?"


    "My son with Bara. His name is Leon."


    Chest Dila''stightened when she heard the names of Bara and Rere''s children. Despite knowing that Bara is married and has children.


    "You have made a big mistake in leaving my husband."


    "What do you mean? Speak clearly." Dila frowned. Early in the morning, Rere came to surprise him.


    "I don''t think I need to explain. You know what I mean." Rere played on words waiting for Dila''s reaction.


    "Y-you ...."


    "Yeah like that." Cut Rere quickly curved a smile.


    "You know if I was Bara''s wife in the past?" Dila can''t deny it. Rere already knew how to avoid it.


    "Not only that. I know everything. Including the birth of triplets. He''s your son from the tube baby program isn''t he?" Rere opened the bag and gave a copy of the triplets'' birth certificate to Dila.


    Dila''s face turned sour. He didn''t like it because Rere had investigated him until he got a copy of the children''s birth certificates. Rere''s connection was so good that he got a copy of the birth certificate of his third child.

 Chapter 37：Pressing Dila

    Dila''s face turned sour. He didn''t like it because Rere had investigated him until he got a copy of the children''s birth certificates. Rere''s connection was so good that he got a copy of the birth certificate of his third child.


    "Looks like I can''t dodge anymore. You have all the evidence. I said neither. You certainly don''t believe it."


    Rere smiled at Dila. He approached and grabbed Dila''s hand. Warm and accepting.


    Dila frowned. Rere''s attitude is very strange and different. Suspicion arises in Rere. What does the woman''s arrival at her house mean?


    "You know how much Bara has been suffering for the last four years?" Rere paced looking at the family photo of Dila and Dino. There is pain and ache to look at the portrait there. The place should belong to Bara, not Dino.


    "Bara who was photographed there shouldn''t be your annoying cousin."


    "Do you know if Dino is my cousin?"


    "I''m investigating it in as much detail as possible. You''re together just for the sake of the kids aren''t you?"


    "What are you planning?" Dila''s voice trembled. It doesn''t feel good anymore.


    "I just want to give my best for Bara. Do you know if he was shot by a political opponent while looking for you? Time to run away."


    "You know everything?" body Dila''s trembled and shivered. "If you know why you came looking for me?"


    "Bara forgot about everything, didn''t even know his name. He only remembers mama. Ranti''s mama is late."


    "If he forgot everything, why did you marry Bara? Even me and he have not been officially divorced? Legally we are still husband and wife?"


    "You want to sue our marriage?" Rere even acted like a fool. In her heart, he cheered with joy. Dila is hooked.


    "I''m not suing your marriage. I''m just asking. As a woman, aren''t you at a loss to marry a man who still has the status of a man''s husband?"


    "At that time Bara was alone. There was no woman beside him when he was sick. If not me who else? He was alone. A stranger with his own family? I could not bear to leave him alone. What you did to Bara was so cruel. You left him alone when he needed you. "It''s cruel that you even left her when she was pregnant."


    "So you mean to come here? Want to take me back home and have polygamy? I''m sorry I can''t."


    Rere burst out laughing when Dila talked about the issue of polygamy. Since when did he come here to invite Dila to polygamy? Imagine polygamy in the scene alone is not.


    "Don''t joke Dila." Rere chuckled. Can''t control me. Dila is so funny.


    "Then what?" Dila became serious and panicked.


    "I want to bring one of your children to live with us."


    "What?" Dila shock. Her heart stopped beating. Take one of the twins? Don''t dream of Rere!


    "Is my speechless clear?"


    "I will never let you bring one of my children."


    "Don''t be selfish," Rere said softly but made Dila shudder.


    "Selfish you mean?"


    "You''re selfish. Bara doesn''t know who her children are yet. They don''t know if they are Bara. It''s time for the children to know who her children are."


    "Are you stupid or what?"


    "Why do you say I''m stupid?"


    "You shouldn''t have to bring one of your husband''s children from another woman."


    Rere just smiled in response to Dila. The woman was even scared if Rere took one of her children.


    "I''m not a bad woman. Be selfish. If we love someone, we''ll be happy to see the person we love happy. I just want to realize my husband''s dream of meeting his children. All he knows is you get divorced and then you''re pregnant. Why does he believe you are pregnant because she has morning sickness. Nausea, vomiting, dizziness. He misses his child. Everything must have wisdom. If Bara doesn''t come here and you meet, maybe until I close my eyes my husband won''t see his child. I just want my husband to be happy. No. more. Leon has a brother. "


    Should I not experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, it turns out that Bara experienced it? Dila whispered in her heart


    "I will never give one of my children to you."


    "It''s up to you. I''ll tell Bara everything. How do you know an Aldebaran? He can do what no one else can."


    "Are you threatening me?" Dila is inflamed. Her emotions rose to her forehead. Her hands clenched tightly.


    "I''m not threatening you," Rere commented with a smile.


    "What''s going on?" Lala approached Dila and Rere. Their faces were tense with hunting breaths.


    "Introduce aunty. I''m Rere." Rere held out his hand to Lala. "Hello, aunty."


    "Did you come here?"


    "I want to talk to Dila." Rere talk with French accents. Study in Malaysia made an eloquent English.


    "What are you talking about? I see Dila angry. What do you want?"


    "Am I honest or lying?"


    "Why are you giving me a choice? Just tell the truth."


    "I''m Bara''s wife." Rere stopped talking for a moment and then continued. "I came here to talk about the children. I know the cute boys'' dan girl are the children of my husband and Dila. So ... I want to introduce the children to their father. I''m sorry to see Bara''s condition. He is sad because he forgot his memory. . "


    "I want to bring one of the children to live with us. Bara should know with his children and vice versa. Bara deserves to be happy. The last four years have not been an easy time for her to pass."


    "He knows if my child triplets with Bara." Dila opened the voice. Strive to be rigid. Not wanting to show his weakness to Rere.


    "You seem to like to complicate things. They are not only your children but also my husband''s children." Rere is getting Dila cornered.


    "You." Dila emotionally wants to be angry but Lala forbids her. As a mother, Dila is not willing if one of her children is taken.


    "I will announce to the family when Bara''s children have been found. Papa Herman has a right to know who his grandchildren are."


    "Don''t go over your limits." Dila is angry.


    "I just want to make my husband happy. I don''t want my husband to be cursed by his children for never being noticed. Don''t let that happen. They are still young. Don''t let them lose the moment with their father. I just want the best for Bara and the children. I did not come here to look for the enemy. "

 Chapter 38：Rere VS Dila ( 1 )

    "Not looking for enemies you say?" Dila''s sharp stare at Rere is full of sarcasm.


    "Sister, please don''t be angry. I just want the best for you. How about Bara and us sit together and talk?" Rere begins her mission. She is an expert in stirring up people''s feelings.


    "Don''t be crazy."


    "Stop messing up, Rere." Dila pointed her finger at Rere. Anger was evident in her eyes.


    "Sister, I just wanted to do the right thing. I just want to unite the children with their father."


    "Get out of my house." Dila drives Rere out. Her hand shows the door where Rere can use to leave.


    "Calm down, Dila." Lala calms Dila who looks very upset.


    "How can I calm myself, Aunty. She wants to take my children away." Dila sobbed. "The children I raised by myself are going to be taken away from me"


    "My husband didn''t leave you. He was left, not leave. Please underline that. It sounds cruel, but I want to save my husband from this humiliation. He is not going to lose his memory forever, right? It''s impossible to lose his memory forever."


    "Rere. Can you stop being too blunt?" Lala is the middleman and she doesn''t want their fight to get louder.


    "I don''t want to be too blunt, aunty. But what else can I do if sister Dila doesn''t want to listen to my opinion? What can I do? I just want to make Bara happy. I don''t have many requests. Please be fair to my husband. He must know his children. I want to make a deal."


    "What kind of mother do you think I am? I won''t let my children live with you."


    "So, you want to made up with Bara?" Rere laughed. It''s time to trap her sister-in-law.


    Dila could not answer Rere''s question. From the bottom of her heart, she really wanted to reconcile with Bara, but Rere and Leon got in the way of their relationship.


    Dila does not want to be her husband''s second wife. It never crossed her mind to be a part of a polygamy marriage. That kind of marriage is indeed allowed in her religion, but it is not that easy to live it. Dila has seen her brother''s marriage with his two wives. His brother''s wives never got along and try to destroy each other. They get along only in front of his brother, but behind him, both wives are hostile to each other.


    "Think about my offer. The three of us will discuss the future of our children or you will become my husband''s second wife. Don''t worry, I will approve your marriage. Don''t be afraid to be considered a second wife. You will still come first for my husband."


    "Are you serious about what you just said, Re? You give your husband to another woman?" Lala stammered. She can''t believe Rere will say those words.


    "What kind of wife are you? Give your husband to another woman?"


    "Sis, I''m just being realistic. Isn''t men are allowed to do polygamy in our religion? I don''t have any problem with you marrying again for the sake of the children. The highest essence of loving someone is letting go. But I can''t let him go yet, maybe everything will be better after I give my husband permission to marry. He will have you and the children. Leon and I won''t lose Bara. I know my husband lost his memory when we married, but Bara will remember everything eventually. After everything that happened, am I going to be dumped? Of course I don''t want that. I need you, sister. When his memory comes back, at least you will be there and explains who we are to Bara. He loves you very much. I know how Bara was in the past when you were married." Rere spoke convincingly.


    Bara burst into laughter when he listens to Rere and Dila''s conversation. Rere has installed a small camera in the form of a button and she also installed a small mic on her body. Bara asked her to confirm how Dila would react when Rere claimed that she is Bara''s wife. Very cruel prank indeed


    "She is crazy. Why did she start to talk about polygamy? I was never interested in that. She''s out of his mind." Bara chuckled when he watches them from his laptop.


    Dila''s frightened expression never ceases to entertain him. Dila''s expression right now looks adorable and Bara tries to suppress the urge to kiss the lips that have always been an addiction to him. He can''t wait to hug and touch her.


    "I''m never going to hand over the children to you." Dila insisted on her decision.


    Bara, Daniel, and Tia watch the drama that was being presented by Rere with big interest. They smack their forehead when they saw how easily Rere have Dila in the palm of her hand.


    "It seems like I talk too much. I will give you three days to think about this. You can marry my husband so you can stay with the children or I will forcibly take the children away and you can''t see them anymore. I am willing to welcome another wife as long as my husband is happy. I want him to know how much I love him."

 Chapter 39：Rere VS Dila ( 2 )

    Bara, Daniel, and Tia watch the drama that was being presented by Rere with big interest. They smack their forehead when they saw how easily Rere have Dila in the palm of her hand.


    "It seems like I talk too much. I will give you three days to think about this. You can marry my husband so you can stay with the children or I will forcibly take the children away and you can''t see them anymore. I am willing to welcome another wife as long as my husband is happy. I want him to know how much I love him."


    Dila sat on the sofa weakly. All of the joints in her body are like jelly. She encounters another difficult choice, again. She can''t let her children being taken away but she doesn''t want to be a second wife either. She will never be ready to be a second wife.


    "Really¡­.. Rere''s jokes are too much. When did we plan to talk about polygamy?" Tia asks Bara.


    "Rere self-improvised," Bara answered while laughing


    ******


    "Hi, my dear wife? Have you found some honey for your husband?" Bara teases Rere when he is home.


    "Are you happy?"


    "I am more than happy. My younger sister''s act is really cool." Bara said while giving her two thumbs up. "When are you going to make Dila marry me? I really miss hugging your sister-in-law."


    "Your lips is really sweet lips." Rere flicked Bara''s strong arm.


    "Thank you, little sister." Bara held Rere''s hand.


    "You''re welcome, brother. I just want you to be happy." Rere gives him a big smile with her sweet lips.


    "What makes you think about polygamy, Re?"


    "It just crossed my mind. This is your opportunity to get back with sister-in-law. By law, you are still legally husband and wife. We can ignite sister-in-law''s emotions through the children. I will approach my nephews and niece and indoctrinate them. I''m sure the kids will recognize you as their father sooner."


    "How?" Bara started to get curious about Rere''s plan.


    "You don''t need to know, brother. When we win the children''s hearts, we can take advantage of Dila''s emotions as a mother. We will take the children on vacation, we have to ask Dino''s permission first. We have to bring Hanin because the child is always with the triplets. They''re used to be with each other."


    "How?" Bara looked at Tia.


    "I will arrange it, sir. I will meet with Dino to discuss everything."


    "Good. Arrange everything as perfect as possible. Then what is your next plan, Re? I can''t wait to execute our next plan."


    "You need to be patient, brother." Rere nudged Bara''s arm. "You need to erase your love for Dila from your face." Rere even laughed at his brother.


    "I can''t do that."


    "When the children are with us, I will persuade sister-in-law to marry you in the religion. You don''t need to be legally married anymore because you are still bound by law through your marriage."


    "Arrange our honeymoon on a private island." Bara laughed then scratching his head. He can''t wait to spend his wedding night with Dila after several years apart.


    "Pervert." Rere laughed at Bara''s stupid behavior. "We have one more problem that we need to deal with. Papa has urged us to go back to Jakarta. I think Dian can sense our strange behavior."


    "What makes you think so?"


    "Brother, I saw Jimmy in KL. I am sure he was investigating us."


    "Dian." Bara massaged his temples. It is hard to keep a secret from Dian. "Don''t let Dian mess up our plans." Bara took the phone and called Dian.


    "Hey boss, is there anything wrong?" Dian greets Bara friendly from the other side. The woman stroked her bulging stomach. Dian is in her seventh month of pregnancy.


    "Why did you send Jimmy to KL?" Bara did not beat around the bus.


    "How could I send Jimmy away?" Dian said scornfully.


    "Don''t play games with me, Dian," Bara''s voice was firm.


    "Aren''t you the one who plays with us, boss? Have you remembered everything? Why don''t you tell us?" Dian asks with annoyance.


    "I''m serious, Dian. Stop meddling in my personal matters. You''ve lied to me enough these past few years."


    "You need to listen to me first, boss. I do everything for your sake. If I force you to remember everything, your health will be affected. I knew Dila''s whereabouts from the start, but I couldn''t say it. I just feel that the time is not right. I''m afraid you will be down mentally after heard what I said." Dian made a confession.


    "Dian, you really disappointed me." Bara shudders from anger. His fierce face scares Rere, Tia, Daniel, and Gesa.


    The situation makes Rere realize that Bara is very scary when he was angered.


    "I''m sorry boss. I just obey what Doctor Demir said. The doctor told me that you can''t overthink because you might break the blood vessels in your brain. I just want to protect you, boss. Now that your memory is back, I will be honest about everything."


    "Be honest about what?" Bara''s voice softened. Bara has turn on the speaker so others could hear their conversation.


    "I''ve found out who Leon''s biological father," Dian''s statement almost made Rere faint. Luckily, Tia was there to support her.

 Chapter 40：The Revelation of Ananyas Murderer

    "Be honest about what?" Bara''s voice softened. Bara has turn on the speaker so others could hear their conversation.


    "I''ve found out who Leon''s biological father," Dian''s statement almost made Rere faint. Luckily, Tia was there to support her.


    "Are you investigating me, sister?" Rere cried pitifully.


    "Boss is Rere with you?" Dian started to panic. She didn''t expect Rere to listen to her conversation with Bara.


    "You can''t, boss. I''ve sent those shadow troops to guard all of you. Rere and Gesa''s whereabouts are already known to Ananya''s killers. They want to kill Rere and Gesa. I asked Jimmy to go there to protect you. Ananya''s killer is a dangerous man. He''s one of the members of Kelantan kingdom."


    Rere and Gesa''s hearts almost stop beating when they heard Dian''s words. Their bodies are shaking.


    "Don''t tell me, it is Prince Ahmed," said Gesa with trembling lips.


    "Who is Prince Ahmed?" Rere stares at Gesa angrily.


    "He is the second future heir of Kelantan Kingdom. He is obsessed with Ananya and wants to take Ananya as one of his wives. The prince is a psychopath. He wants Ananya to divorce her husband. He is crazy about Ananya. The prince has liked Ananya for a long time. To protect her family, Ananya never exposes her private life, the public doesn''t even know who Ananya''s husband and children."


    "You''re right," Dian said, rubbing her bulging stomach. She always rubs her belly because she felt an itch there.


    Bara asks Gesa, Daniel, and Tia to leave his room. He wanted to talk to his sister alone. Bara was a little annoyed that Dian''s investigation is one step ahead of them. Dian even knew of Dila''s whereabouts from the start. She kept her silence because he lost his memory. He has a hunch that Dian is the one who makes sure Dila and her children safety until now.


    "Brother." Rere peevishly burst into Bara''s arms.


    Bara keeps his composure and patting Rere''s shoulder. He let his sister calm down. Bara understands that Rere must be very shocked. The secret that she had kept all this time is revealed by Dian.


    "Brother, I don''t want anyone to know about Leon''s biological father''s identity. I don''t want to live with him," Rere said dejectedly. She vented all of her sorrow to Bara. In the past, Rere keeps silent and didn''t want to talk because she didn''t want to make bara worry, but this time, she spilled everything. Bara is healthy and has regained his memory.


    "I understand how you feel, Re." Bara knows her sister''s psychological condition. Bara let her go and make Rere sit before gave her a glass of water.


    "Thank you, brother." Rere emptying cups in one gulp.


    "Can you tell me? Why you don''t want to reveal Leon''s biological father''s identity?"


    "I can''t marry that man. He''s married and has children. I don''t want to destroy someone else''s marriage. What will people say about me? I don''t want people to call me a whore that ruin other people''s family. It''s like a pot calling the cattle black. I don''t want what he thinks about me really happened. I am just out of luck, brother. I just want to help him at that time, I didn''t expect that it was me who was trapped. I feel so dumb, I even sacrificed myself to save that man. I was wrong, brother." Rere cried as she hugged the cushions.


    Bara lets her sister use his shoulder to cry. He lets his sister venting her emotions.


    "Rere, you shouldn''t sacrifice yourself. After all, you still have a long way to go. Leon is still so young."


    "What can I do, brother? It happens because I am too kind. I am helping others but risking my own life. I was hunted by Ananya''s killer for saving Gesa. I lost my virginity when I try saving the CEO where I was working as an intern. I''m so stupid." Rere hits her own head. Bara held Rere''s hand so she would stop hurting herself.


    "Rere." Bara then snapped at her. Rere was shocked when she saw her step-brother''s anger. "You are Aldebaran''s sister. You must not be afraid and give up easily. You must be strong. Show the world that you are my sister. We are strong and invincible."


    "Brother..." Rere felt bitter when Bara snapped at her.


    "You are my sister." Bara''s voice become softer and more affectionate. He tidied Rere''s hair by combing it with his hand. "I''m sorry for yelling at you. I hate to see you look so weak, Rere. You''ve been a strong woman all this time. You need to show your power. You have to be strong all the time. Don''t let others see your weakness."


    "Can I do that?" Rere doesn''t sound confident.


    "You can. You are my sister."


    "Brother..."


    "That man has to know that he has a son named Leon."


    "Impossible. I don''t want to tell him." Rere shook her head.


    "Nothing is impossible. Think about Leon''s future. You have to give him legal status."


    "But I don''t want what he thinks of me to be true."


    "And, you''re risking your and Leon''s futures because of that?"

 Chapter 41 - Bitter Reality

    "Tia, I never thought that Prince Ahmed was behind all of this." Gesa stared blankly at Tia who was standing stiffly. "I think no one is going to hurt someone they love or even kill her."


    "Who is that crazy prince?"


    "He is the second heir of the Kelantan Kingdom. He should be the crown prince based on the lineage, but because he had an emotional breakdown, his younger brother ascended the throne. Ahmed has long been obsessed with Ananya. The crazy prince liked Ananya since she was a girl but unfortunately, Ananya married Dino. That night, they actually wanted to kill Ananya''s husband. Unfortunately, it was Ananya who drove Dino''s car, so she was the one killed."


    "What? Dino?" Tia is getting curious.


    "Do you perhaps know someone named Dino?" Gesa looks at her suspiciously.


    "Is this the man?" Tia shows Dino''s photo from the WhatApp profile picture.


    Gesa was flabbergasted not expecting Tia to know Dino.


    "So, Ananya''s husband is Dino Putra Chaniago?" Tia confirmed.


    "Exactly."


    "Oh, my God." Tia was stunned. This world is very small.


    "What''s wrong Tia?"


    "Rere saved you because you are the key witness to Ananya''s death. Rere saves Dino but she ends up sleeping with that man for one night."


    "What do you mean?"


    "Someone framed Dino after Ananya''s death. Accidentally, Rere who is an intern at Dino''s office saves Dino, but unfortunately, they spend the night together that makes Rere becomes pregnant with Leon."


    Gesa feels her chest constricted. She needs some time to catch her breath. If Rere has Dino''s child, it means that she cannot Ananya''s will cannot be carried out. Gesa''s heart was broken and crushed. She had to stop her love for Dino.


    If Tia didn''t hold her properly, Gesa already fell on the floor. Tia looks at Gesa suspiciously, surprised at Gesa''s reaction that doesn''t seem to believe that Leon''s biological father is Dino.


    "Why does it seems like you cannot accept the fact that Dino is Leon''s biological father?"


    "N-nothing." Gesa stuttering.


    "Don''t lie to me." Tia looked at Gesa with her sharp eyes. Tia is a very keen human being and she can read a person''s character. She can easily know when someone lies to her.


    "I''m not lying."


    "Do you like Dino?" Tia asks directly.


    Gesa''s body shook violently. Suddenly her hands trembled and she broke out in cold sweat.


    "Answer me, Gesa!" Tia urged.


    "Actually¡­." Gesa was still hesitant to talk about it.


    "What is it?"


    "Before Ananya died, she asks me to take care of Dino and Hanin." Gesa felt relieved after she spills the burden in her heart.


    Tia was stunned then staring at Gesa deeply, trying to understand how Gesa felt. She doesn''t know why but she suddenly felt sorry for Gesa. Her life is not easy after Ananya''s death. She has a duty because Anaya wants her to look after Hanin and Dino.


    "Gesa..." Tia called softly.


    "I''m not going to stop you to carry out Ananya''s last wish but Dino must be responsible for his own child and also to Rere. You have to remember that Rere is the one who saved you that night, you owe her your life. Because of helping you, she is also hunted and almost killed. Just think about Rere''s help. She gives you her energy and moral assistance. She is the one who pays for your treatment until you recover from depression. She is also the one who brings you along to live in Indonesia. After everything she did for you, do you really want to snatch away her child''s father? I only speak as a friend. Rere suffered all this time. She always had bad luck for helping people. First, she helps you, then she helps Dino but ends up having Leon. Can you stop being an obstacle in their relationship?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "We want to marry off Dino and Rere for the sake of Leon''s future. Mr. Bara wants Dino to be responsible for his younger sister. Mr. Bara wants his nephew to get legal recognition."


    "..." Gesa was stunned, unable to reply to Tia''s words.


    *****


    Dila ran to Bara''s Penthouse because Rere picks her three children from school. Rere is serious with her words about bringing the children to live with her and Bara.


    Dila pressed the bell repeatedly. She can''t wait for the door to be open soon. Rere opened the door soon after and without permission, Dila walked inside.


    "Where are my children?" Dila asked, panic can be heard from her voice.


    "They are with their father. Why you look afraid? We won''t hurt the triplets."


    "Indeed, you won''t hurt them, but you will take them away from me," said Dila curtly.


    Bara hugged Shaka and Shakel. A sense of emotion engulfed Bara''s heart. He was happy. He finally meets and hugs his three children. Despite his memory loss, the man had a premonition of having children as he had been experiencing nausea and vomiting for nine months.

 Chapter 42 - Bara And Dila ( 1 )

    "Ama," Salsa called when she realized Dila''s arrival. The little girl approached Dila and hugged her.


    Bara hugged Shaka and Shakel. A sense of emotion engulfed Bara''s heart. He was happy. He finally meets and hugs his three children. Despite his memory loss, the man had a premonition of having children as he had been experiencing nausea and vomiting for nine months.??


    "I love you" Clear beads fell from Bara''s eyes. He was happy after finally get recognition as a father. "Starting from today, father will take care of you. I am sorry for leaving you for so long," Bara said while looking at Dila. He said the word ''leaving'' to mock Dila.


    Dila avoid Bara''s eyes when the man looked at her sharply. Dila didn''t know what to do with Bara. Honestly, she loves the man, but she is too proud to admit it after realizing that Bara already belongs to someone else. They had no chance to be together. There is the biggest obstacle in their relationship.


    "I want to talk to you," Bara said coldly while looking at Dila.


    Both of them walk to Bara''s study. There were alone there. Bara left the triplets with Rere. He wanted to confront Dila for lying to him.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Dila started to talk because they just sit silently and have not spoken to each other for a long time.


    "I need your explanation," Bara replied coldly.


    Dila shuddered at the man''s attitude. She never thought Bara would talk to her like that. She feels awkward and odd.


    "Speak Dila!"


    "What should I say?"


    "I ask you to confess your lie, then your only words is what should I say? How naive you are, Dila. After what happened to us, you still decided to lie. When we''re stranded why don''t you tell me the truth?" Bara approached Dila and held her arms. His sharp eyes look like an eagle staring at his prey.


    Dila did not dare to look into Bara''s eyes. She can see the anger and disappointment. Dila was wrong for hiding the truth even though both of them are stranded on an island due to the tsunami.


    "It''s useless for me to be honest now. We have our own lives," said Dila without any trace of regret.


    "Our own lives? You never think of me. You never think about my feeling that all this time that I know nothing about our children. Even though Dino has become their father figure, I am still their biological father. I should be the one who stands by their side as a father, not Dino. How could you say those cruel words to me? What did I do to deserve this hatred? How could you be so cruel to me?"


    Tears started to roll down Dila''s face. Bara''s words hit the core of her heart and make her feels sick in the stomach.


    "Talk, Dila! This is not the time for you to cry! crying won''t calm my anger. If I hadn''t lost my memory, maybe everything would be different. I will definitely recognize you and our children. I need your explanation!"


    "What kind of explanation?"


    "Why did you leave me?"


    "I don''t want to be your wife anymore," Dila said casually. It is impossible to say the truth because she didn''t want to hurt Bara''s feelings and worsen the man''s health. She decided to take the blame as long as Bara stays healthy.


    "You must have a reason why you don''t want to be my wife anymore."


    Dila watched Bara for a moment. She sighs, closes her eyes, and wipes the tears that had fallen on her cheeks. Where should she start? Dila is confused. She didn''t want to interfere with Bara''s current marriage. Even though Rere gave her the choice to marry, Dila didn''t want to. She wants to be the only wife for Aldebaran. She doesn''t want to share her husband with other women. She didn''t care whether people will start to call her selfish. After all, no woman can share her husband''s heart with another woman. Although polygamy is allowed in her religion, it is not easy to live it. Surely the first wife will be hurt by the presence of another woman.


    "Of course I have," Dila spoke after a moment of silence.


    Bara lowers his voice and gives Dila some time to talk and told him everything. He wanted to hear what kind of excuse his wife came up with.


    "Your past makes me unable to be your wife anymore," Dila said coldly. She must hurt Bara''s heart so the man would hate her and stay away from her.


    "What kind of past?" Bara challenges Dila. He gives her a mysterious smile that made Dila shudder.


    "You definitely know what I am talking about."


    "If I remember everything, I won''t ask you. Let''s talk and be honest with me."


    "Didn''t Rere ever tell you about our past?"


    "Rere just said that we are still legally husband and wife." Bara approached Dila. He wrapped his arms around Dila''s waist and gave her a hot kiss as punishment for leaving and lying to him.


    Bara silenced Dila with a passionate kiss. Dila tries to break the kiss by hitting the man''s chest. Bara''s kiss was full of anger and longing. Angry that Dila just left him without telling him about Defri and Iqbal''s threat. Longing because it has been almost four years since the last time he embraced her slender body that he missed for years.

 Chapter 43 - Bara And Dila ( 2 )

    Bara silenced Dila with a passionate kiss. Dila tries to break the kiss by hitting the man''s chest. Bara''s kiss was full of anger and longing. Angry that Dila just left him without telling him about Defri and Iqbal''s threat. Longing because it has been almost four years since the last time he embraced her slender body that he missed for years.


    Since he recovers his memory, Bara could not bear the temptation to be alone with Dila and hug her like when they were still together. There is a longing for his wife that ragging in his heart. That''s why Bara did all the drama when they were stranded on the island. He deliberately pretending to lose his memory to provoke Dila and see how far the woman hides everything from him.??


    Bara kissed Dila''s lips fiercely that make Dila annoyed. Dila then bit Bara''s lip until it bled.


    "Ahh...." Bara groaning then breaks the kiss.


    "You are a beast. You can''t force a woman to serve your lust." Dila vents her anger.


    "Then you are the wife of a beast." Bara was annoyed that he lifted Dila''s body and threw her on the sofa. He started to kissed Dila violently from the lips and down to her neck. Dila started to struggle, she wanted to be released. Dila shook her head when Bara kissed her neck and made a kiss mark there. The more vicious the man became the more lustful and stronger his power on Dila. Bara raises Dila''s hand. Bara is getting angry when he feels his wife''s rejection. He took off Dila''s clothes, ignoring Dila''s resistance. He then unzipped his pants.


    "You are my wife," Bara said while licking every part of Dila''s body.


    Bara completed his longing for Dila and took his rights as a husband. Dila couldn''t refuse the man because Bara is stronger than her.


    Dila wakes up after their make-love session. She picked up her clothes that scatter on the floor and put them on. Bara woke up not long after.


    "I''m leaving," Dila said then getting up from the sofa but Bara grabbed her hand.


    "Who gives you permission to leave? You are not going to leave."


    "Stop it, Bar. You''ve got what you want. Don''t you want to sleep with me? Aren''t you satisfied? Don''t play with me, Bara. You have to remember that you already have a wife. The fact that we make love here while Rere is with the kids makes me feel dirty. I don''t want to be the third person in your marriage. Let me go."


    "I won''t let you go."


    "You have no reason to keep me by your side"


    "The reason is my desire to keeping you by my side is getting stronger than ever. I''m want to live with you and the triplets." Bara almost made a slip-tongue. He forgets that he is still pretending to be amnesia. "Rere and Dian have told me everything?" Bara said casually. Bara is indeed good at making excuse, he just makes Rere and Dian his scapegoats.


    "Dian?" Dila frowned. "It is impossible for Dian to tell you."


    "Why it is impossible?" Bara provokes Dila.


    "Dian would never tell you about me. If she wants to, she would have done it a long time ago. Dian knows that I was in KL since I was pregnant. Don''t lie to me, Bar."


    Bara started to get angry. It turned out that Dian had known Dila''s whereabouts since the beginning but hide it from him. The man is full of rage. Bara hit the wall with his fist.


    "Dian!" he shouted angrily. Bara was furious because Dian had hidden Dila''s whereabouts. If only that woman told him at that time, his memory might have recovered sooner. Bara was hurt and disappointed. The person he trusted the most was lying to him.


    "Bar. Stop it!" Dila held Bara''s hand. His hand started to bleed. "Why are you angry?"


    "Did you just ask me why I''m angry at her? Of course I''m angry. I''ve been looking for my wife''s whereabouts all this time, but she just kept mum although she knew. I must look like an idiot in her eyes. Even though I lost my memory, but my intuition tells me that you are pregnant with my child. Just for your information, I was having nausea and vomiting when you were pregnant. I can''t even eat. I always threw up everything that I ate. I was sick and I have nausea when I smell the food. Then I realized that maybe I was the one who suffers the pregnancy symptoms. I was happy that you are not the one who experience it. Have you ever thought about my feelings all this time? I try to remember our past. How could you leave me easily? What''s my fault, Dila?" Bara held Dila''s hands, staring at the woman closely. Bara could see that Dila was holding back her tears. Pretending to be strong even though she was weak.


    "I can not do it." Dila keeps her arrogance. She has to keep her resolve so Bara will stay away from her.


    Bara is fed up with this situation. He approached Dila, cups Dila''s face in his hands and kisses her lips passionately. Bara is beyond annoyed and irritated, why is Dila still pretending.


    "Stop it, Bar!" Dila hits Bara''s chest and stopped Bara''s kisses.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Stop touching me!" Dila rebuked Bara. "Don''t make me commit adultery."


    "Adultery?" Bara''s eyes narrowed. Hearing Dila utters those words hurt him. How could he commit adultery with his own wife?


    "We''ve made a mistake Bar. We''re not husband and wife anymore." Dila''s breath hitched while holding her chest. It hurts her to say all of this.


    "Have I ever say that I am divorcing you?" Dila shook her head.


    "As long as I haven''t divorced you, we are still husband and wife. You are still my legal wife. We never agreed for divorce."


    "No. We''re not husband and wife anymore. You''re married."


    "Even though we have been separated for a long time, we are still husband and wife since there is no word of divorce from my mouth. If you don''t believe it, you might ask some religious expert. Don''t go around saying that what we did was adultery. I am your husband and it is your duty to serve me." Bara cannot contain her anger anymore. He was angry at Dian before, but now he was angry at Dila.


    Dila shook her head. She did not accept Bara''s declaration.


    "You must obey me. From today onward. You will live with me."


    "No." Dila bluntly rejected the idea.


    "You can''t refuse it."


    "Divorce me," Dila said while closing her eyes. In fact, she couldn''t bear to say it. She doesn''t know where she got the courage to say it.


    "No. You will always be my wife. There is no reason for me to divorce you," Bara said carefully about the divorce.


    Angrily, he pulled Dila from his study and push her into his room before he locked the door.


    "Let go of me, Bar." Dila knocked on the door. "I want to go home."


    "This is your home," Bara replied while looking at the automatic door lock. Dila will not be able to get out.


    Bara came to see Rere who was sleeping with the children. The three of them immediately close to Rere. The woman is really good at handling the children. The three of them slept on the sofa with her. Bara relieved to see the smiles of the three children. The man holds his children one by one and laid them down in the room he had prepared.


    "What''s the matter?" Rere saw the anger in his brother''s eyes.


    "Dila asked for a divorce."

 Chapter 44 - Rescue Dino (1)

    "Why did you asking for a divorce?" Rere asked Dila when they''re in the kitchen. Rere is slicing some onion. They plan to cook grilled fish.


    "I don''t want to be a thorn in your marriage. I''m used to be alone so I shouldn''t have appeared in your life. Both are you are happy and I don''t want to ruin your happiness."


    "Why do you think about our happiness? What about your happiness then?"


    "I will be happy with my children. You don''t need to worry about us. I feel guilty for you."


    "Guilty?"


    "Yes."


    "Is it because Bara asks for his rights as a husband?" Rere guessed Dila''s mind correctly.


    Dila was terrified. How could Rere know that she and Bara had just made love? Did Bara tell her? If so, it means that Bara is so stupid to talk about their sex life even with his wife. Dila was flustered and didn''t know what to say.


    "N-no," Dila is stuttering.


    "No need to hesitate. I already know his pervertedness." Ree smiled at that.


    Dila got goosebumps when she heard Rere''s words. How could she shamelessly tell his own wife that he slept with another woman?


    "I know that Bara is a pervert from the way he looks at you."


    "Can we talk about another topic?" Dila doesn''t want to talk about Bara.


    "Why? Did you feel bad for me?" Rere touched Dila''s arm.


    "No, I just..."


    "Just what? Feel free to tell me anything. Think of me as your own sister. Actually, ¡­." Rere feels that she needed to straighten things out.


    "Yes?" Dila waited for Rere to speak.


    "Leon is not Bara''s son." Rere was finally started to tell Dila the truth. She could not bear to see the sorrow on Dila''s face. "I am indebted to him. I got pregnant out of wedlock. He takes on the responsibility of being Leon''s father."


    "What?" Dila''s eyes widen when she heard Rere''s confession. She really doesn''t understand what really happened now.


    "Please don''t reject him. Bara really loves you, sister. I can be the witness of his great love for you."


    "Even though Leon is not Bara''s son, but Leon already accepts Bara as his father. Don''t sacrifice yourself for us."


    "No, Sister. I didn''t sacrifice anything. Actually, I''m Bara''s half-sister. Bara''s father married my mother. We''ve only been acting in front of you."


    "What did you just said?" Dila is even more shocked to learn about Rere and Bara''s relationship. Her hands form a fist. She can''t wait to hit and scratch Bara for playing with her feelings.


    "Please do not be angry. I only did it to test your feelings whether you still love Bara or not? I swear. It turns out that my hunch was right. You still love brother, sister."


    "Bara," Dila whispered in annoyance. She didn''t like to be played with.


    Did Bara do this for revenge?


    "Are you angry, sister?"


    "How can I not be angry? He did it on purpose and hurt me."


    "That means that both of you two have to be together."


    "I was angry and annoyed at him. I won''t let him get me easily."


    "Sister, do you want to avenge, Bara?" Rere even laughed seeing this couple.


    "Of course. Aldebaran, you need to watch your back!"


    "What are you going to do, sister?"


    "I''ll make a confrontation." Dila who was cleaning the fish started to feel angry. She swings the knife swiftly and the fish head fell to the floor. Dila''s attitude is like the executioner of the death penalty. Her eyes are sharp like an eagle waiting for her prey.


    "I''m not going to meddle in your affair then, sister." Rere raises her hand. The girl smiled sweetly when she looks at Dila''s annoyance. Rere could imagine what Dila would do to her brother.


    "Just do it, sister. I love commotion." Rere started to pour some oil into Dila''s raging fire.


    "Let''s make a big commotion. If we have to, we will burn this house," said Dila randomly. She picked the fish head that fell on the floor, washed it clean, and then put it into the seasoning mixture to marinate it.


    *****


    "Bar, Please help me," Dino said before the phone was disconnected. Dino''s phone slips from his grip when someone suddenly kicks his back.


    Bara was petrified. He knew Dino and Gesa''s lives were in danger. Earlier, Gesa told him that she was going to meet Dino.


    "Rere," Bara shouted. Bara''s voice was full of fright and panic. Dila and Rere rushed out after hearing his voice.


    "What''s the matter?" Rere and Dila were horrified to see Bara is wearing a bulletproof vest and putting some bullets into the gun.


    "What''s happened, Bara?" Dila started to voice her confusion.


    "Dino and Gesa are in danger. Gesa told me that she was going to meet Dino and tell him the truth. It turns out that Prince Ahmed was after them."


    "Rere," Bara called his sister before grabbing his sister''s shoulder. "You, Dila, and the children stay here. Don''t go anywhere. I will try to find Gesa. It''s time for the public to know who killed Ananya."


    "Wait," said Dila and Rere in unison. They looked at each other, startled.


    "What is it?" Bara looked at them.


    "What is the relationship between Gesa and Dino?" Dila feels her breath start getting faster.


    "Gesa is Ananya''s assistant. She was with Ananya in the car when the accident happened."


    "Then, what is the relationship between Dino and Ananya?" Rere still has no clue about Dino and Gesa''s relationship.


    "Dino is Ananya''s husband," Bara said quietly. He doesn''t know how Rere would react when she heard this.


    "What?" Rere''s half scream when she heard that.


    Bara just chuckled at his sister''s reaction. "It is a small world, right?"


    "Since when did you know about that, brother?" Rere approaches Bara and grips the collar of Bara''s shirt.


    Bara just chuckled at Rere''s angry and disappointed reaction.


    "Do you know what is the reason I saved Gesa and Dino? It is for your sake. I want Leon to meet Dino. It''s time for Dino to know that he has a son."


    "How could you do this to me, brother!" Rere hit Bara''s chest hard. She hates that Bara lied to her. Bara had always known who Leon''s biological father was but chose to remain silent.


    "What are you talking about?" Dila becomes more confused to see this situation.


    "Dino is Leon''s biological father, not me," Bara answered casually. He put the loaded gun in his waist.


    Dila approached Bara and grabbed her husband''s collar as Rere did before.


    "It is impossible that Dino is Leon''s biological father. He is a faithful man, he won''t betray Ananya." Dila screamed in Bara''s ear.


    Rere was suddenly felt dizzy and nervous about this sudden turn of events. It could be that Dino wants to meet the triplets at school because the man already knew who she was. Rere''s body trembling when she realizes that fact.


    "Just ask Dino later after I managed to save him." Bara took out his phone and called his best friend, Prince Syehzade, the crown prince of Brunei Darussalam.


    "Hey Bar," said prince Syehzade.


    "I want you to help me with something," Bara whispered.


    "What happened?"


    "Sorry to involve you in my troubles."


    "It is okay."


    "My nephew''s father was kidnapped by Prince Ahmed."


    "What? Why?"


    Bara told Prince Syehzade everything about Gesa, Dino, and Ananya. After heard Bara''s story the crown prince of Brunei agrees to help Bara. Bara was right, the one who can go against a crown price is another crown princess. In the end, the prince decided to help Bara because he is indebted to Bara for saving Eci, his wife who has been imprisoned in a mental hospital in J city.


    "He''s really crazy. Calm down Bar. I''ll help you guys. My team is there."


    "I''m sorry to bother you, Your Majesty."


    "Don''t call me your majesty. You are not my people. You are my best friend Bar. You have done a great service to my kingdom. I will help you as best I can."


    "Syehzade. I will never forget your service. I owe you a favor."


    "There''s no need to say that. I''ll help you. Aren''t we brothers?"


    Bara was deeply touched by the kindness of Prince Syehzade. According to Bara, the man was very worthy of being a king. He will be a wise king. The people of Brunei are lucky to have a future king like Syehzade.


    Shortly after Bara spoke with prince Syehzade. The prince''s army came. Bara and Prince Syehzade''s bodyguards devise a strategy to save Dino.


    They have tracked Dino''s whereabouts through his cellphone number. They are very professional. It didn''t take long for them to find the location of Dino and Gesa''s captivity.


    "We have to move before they kill Dino," said Bara, preparing her weapon.


    The man kept the gun at his waist. Dila and Rere could only watch Bara from inside the penthouse. They hoped that Dino and Gesa would survive and not suffer any injuries.


    Rere did not expect that Dino had been connected to him through Dila and Bara. Destiny is what God has planned. Ree didn''t know. Hoping the day will change quickly. Rere was a little worried. She would feel guilty if something happened to Dino while he hadn''t met Leon yet.

 Chapter 45 - Rescue Dino ( 2 )

    Gesa and Dino try to run away from the pursuit of Prince Ahmed''s men with a limping foot. Dino and Gesa hid behind an empty drum. They were kidnapped by Prince Ahmed''s men when they met. They were able to escape after Dino outwitted the kidnappers. Dino and Gesa''s breath resonated with each other.


    "Brother, are we going to survive?" Gesa was scared and cried.


    "We''ll survive this, Gesa." Dino actually wasn''t sure he would survive but he didn''t want to say it because he didn''t want Gesa to be more worried and afraid.


    "Although it''s hard, we have to try to run as far as possible from them. Where there''s a will there''s a way."


    "Why did you just decide to meet me, Gesa?" Dino finally asked.


    "I tried to run from them. They never stop chasing me. Last time, they followed me at the mall."


    "Mall? Which mall?" Dino was curious.


    "Casablanca Mall. As long as I''m in Jakarta. A man always follows me. I haven''t had a quiet life since that night. My life has been colored by nightmares. Those guys are always looking for me. They wanted to kill me to keep my mouth shut about Ananya''s death. Not only am I in danger. The person who helped me was also their target. They want to kill us.


    "The person that you''re talking about might be the detective I hired to look after you."


    "What?" Gesa''s eyes widened. She would scream if Dino didn''t cover her mouth. Fortunately, Dino quickly covers Gesa''s mouth afraid of being heard by Prince Ahmed''s men.


    "Where did you stay in Jakarta?"


    "I never stay at one place for a long time. The night Ananya died, I was there. I survived because Rere came at that time."


    "What? Rere?" Even Dino was shocked. "Tell me about her, quickly!" Dino started being hysterical.


    "Why do you react like that, brother? Do you know Rere, Bara''s sister? What is your relationship with her." Gesa wanted to hear Dino''s confession.


    "I took Rere''s virginity a week after Ananya died. I''m Leon''s biological father."


    "What?" Gesa wept bitterly. She was shocked and could not accept the fact that Dino was Leon''s biological father. Gesa''s heart was broken. It was clear that she cannot fulfill Ananya''s last wish to take care of Dino and Hanin. Gesa''s clenched her hands tightly. Tia was right, she cannot be a shameless woman and she has to back off.


    "Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed''s men suddenly appear and pointed guns at Dino and Gesa''s backs. Both started to lie down as said and gave up their plan to run away. There was no way they could fight a well-trained army. There were twenty of them while there were only two of them. Their faces were covered with sacks and their hands were tied. Both were forcefully shoved into a car.


    The car was move through Kuala Lumpur streets. If other people can sleep soundly, Gesa and Dino are struggling between life and death.


    The car finally stops in an old, uninhabited building. The man then dragged Dino and Gesa inside the building. Both of their faces are uncovered. They were seated on a chair with their legs tied. Their hands were tied behind the chair. Gesa was angry and spat on one of the men. The man was humiliated and slapped her until her lips bled.


    "Don''t dare to do something like that again, woman. You''re still arrogant even though you''ll die soon."


    "Only God can decide whether I die or not. Stop bragging." Gesa challenges the man.


    "You are fiercer than your look." The man laughed at Gesa then started to stroke her cheek.


    " Stop it If you still want to use your hand." Gesa threats the man. She did not want him to stroke her face. "Stop touching me with your dirty hand."


    "You''re still bragging although you are dying. You should have died four years ago. You''re too dangerous, woman. No wonder our boss wants to hunt you and your friend down."


    "If I die here, tell that prince to throw away her wish to ascend the throne." Gesa laughed evilly. Gesa''s words started to shake the man, but they did not want Gesa to know that.


    "Damn you. Do you know who you are talking to?"


    "I''m not a fool, of course I know that you guys are Prince Ahmed''s men. I know the prince is crazy about Ananya. That night he wanted to kill was Dino, Ananya''s husband. Unfortunately, Ananya used Dino''s car, so it was Ananya who died that night. I was with Ayana in the same car but I managed to escape. I also know you use some wine on Ananya''s corpse so the police would conclude that Ananya''s accident was caused by the influence of alcohol." Gesa boldly spilled everything. After all, she knows that she will die at the hands of Prince Ahmed''s men.


    Unbeknownst to the man, Gesa had been broadcasting their condition live on social media. All Gesa followers who watch the video screamed in fear. They cannot see anything, only a black screen, but they can hear Gesa''s voice clearly. As an assistant for a well-known artist in KL, Gesa has quite a lot of connections. Her live streaming video was shared by celebrities on social media. In just a few minutes, her live streaming went viral even to a lot of people in Indonesia.


    "Stop bragging, woman." Prince Ahmed suddenly appeared in front of Gesa and Dino.


    Dino struggles to get loose, tries to free himself. Dino wanted to kill prince Ahmed with his own hands. That bastard had killed and slandered his wife viciously.


    "What do you want?" Prince Ahmed snapped at Dino then hit and kicked him. Dino vomited blood because the prince kicked him with great force. "You should have died instead of Ananya. I have to slander the woman I love because I can''t be found out."


    Prince Ahmed gives a signal to one of his men. The man then gives prince Ahmed a gun. The mad prince pointed the gun at Gesa''s head. Gesa closed her eyes, surrender to what going to happen.


    A loud sound of a gun was heard, but surprisingly it wasn''t Gesa who screamed pitifully, but Prince Ahmed. The madman was panic when he saw his own blood. The man is terrified of blood.


    It turned out that Bara came just in time with Prince Syehzade''s secret troops. Bara shot Prince Ahmed''s hand so Prince Ahmed loses his grip on the gun. Both Bara and Prince Ahmed''s team started to shoot at each other. Prince Ahmed can''t do anything because they are lost in number. Prince Syehzade sent around fifty special troops to help Bara.


    One of the troops untied Gesa and Dino. At least Gesa is making a live streaming video of Prince Syehzade and Bara shooting. Bloodshed is inevitable. Prince Ahmed''s troops died at the hands of Prince Syehzade''s troops. Gesa was smart enough not to aim her camera toward Bara and the Prince Syehzade team. She kept recorded Prince Ahmed. Gesa even provokes the mad prince and made the man lose his composure and accidentally admits his past actions of killing Ananya and slandering her.


    Bara was caught off-guard and being shoot by Prince Ahmed. The man staggered and felt the pain in his chest. Luckily Bara was wearing a bulletproof vest, so he was okay. The place that was shot just sore a little.


    "Bara..." Gesa screamed hysterically and run to Bara. She held his body so he wouldn''t fall to the floor.


    "Don''t worry. I''m fine."


    "Why did you go this far just to save me, brother?"


    "I did it for Rere''s sake. Dino must stay alive for Rere and Leon."


    "So you know about Dino and Rere''s relationship." Gesa is getting frustrated. Everyone kept it a secret. She''s like an ignorant fool. Did she frustrate? She is, it hurts her. Why it is Dino who impregnated Rere and not another man? Actually, Gesa has feelings for Dino. At first, she admired him, but over time the feeling grew, especially since Ananya told her to look after Dino and Hanin. Gesa realizes that her love is over. Dino was not meant for her. Even though Ananya is gone, she can never have him.


    Gesa was very disappointed with the situation. Fate seemed to punish her unable to unite with the man she loved. Ananya''s message is just a message. She will not be able to carry out the message Ananya gave her. It wasn''t her who would take care of Dino and Hanin, but Rere.


    Gesa couldn''t be angry with Rere either. The woman was also a victim. Rere even almost died saving her. Gesa''s heart was drizzling, she wanted to cry but her tears had dried. She couldn''t cry anymore. Her dream of having a husband like Dino was just a dream.


    The man she wanted was never hers.


    Pain...


    Gesa''s chest feels tight. Something was bothering him in his heart. Want to scream and blame the circumstances.

 Chapter 46 - The Real Villain

    The shooting between Prince Ahmed''s troops and Prince Syehzade''s team result in many casualties. Most of the dead person was from Prince Ahmed''s troops which is predictable because of the unbalanced number. The Royal Malaysian Police immediately arrived at the scene where the shooting took place.


    Gesa streaming on one of the social media indirectly reveals the fact about Ananya''s death. The famous Malaysian actress was accused of being under the influence of alcohol when driving that cause her death is actually using a car that had been sabotaged. The Malaysian public was shocked. All this time they have pointed their fingers at Ananya. People are mocking her and said that she was actually a wild person that pretends to be a religious woman. They even said that Ananya is not a great example of a public figure.


    Malaysian netizens did not suspect that Prince Ahmed, their proud prince, was behind the death of their favorite artist. All is fair in love and war. Perhaps the proverb is suitable for the prince who justifies his bad action to get the woman he loves. The public finally gets to know Ananya''s husband. They are sorry and sad for Dino. They didn''t expect Dino to have to go through difficult times after Ananya''s death. His beloved wife was slandered as a drunken woman and her death was blasphemed.


    Prince Ahmed was hospitalized because he suffers from a gunshot. It turned out that the prince was a lunatic. He loves Ananya so much to the point of obsession. Prince Ahmed had liked Ananya for a long time before she married Dino. The prince wanted Ananya to be his wife, but the woman refused his proposal. The ambition of having Ananya makes the mad prince plan an assassination on Dino, but unfortunately, it was Ananya who is killed for driving Dino''s cars.


    Dino''s eyes were puffy, and he felt relieved when he managed to reveal his wife''s death mystery. He was relieved that he was able to restore his wife''s reputation. He never thought that Rere could be the only key witnesses to his wife''s death. Even Rere''s life was in danger. It was also Rere who had saved him from Prince Ahmed''s trap.


    "Thank you for saving me, Bar. You are a good brother-in-law," said Dino while patting Bara''s shoulder. Dino is hospitalized. He was injured in the shooting.


    "I didn''t do it for you," Bara said jokingly.


    "What do you mean?" Dino frowned.


    "I did this for Leon. I want Leon to meet his biological father."


    "Thank you, then" Dino held Bara''s hand. Suddenly Lala came to the room. The mother ran into Dino''s arms.


    "My son, are you okay?" Lala was worried. She didn''t want to lose her only child.


    "I''m fine, mother." Dino gently rubbed Lala''s face. "You need to thank your son-in-law for saving me," Dino continued sneering at Bara.


    "Bara?" Lala just realized Bara''s presence.


    "Aunty." Bara took Lala''s hand and kissed the back of the hand. Lala''s face was almost identical to Lusi. They look like twins.


    "Since when do you know Bara?" Lala glanced at Dino and Bara in turn.


    "You don''t have to know how long we know each other, mother. it''s not important now. I have to be honest with you, mother."


    "What is this about?" Lala stared at Dino anxiously, waiting for Dino to open his mouth. What kind of truth will Dino says?


    "Actually, I have a son. He''s three years old."


    "Did you secretly get married after Ananya''s death? Why did you never tell me about this?"


    Dino shook his head make Lala turns pale every second. The woman started to realize that Dino was referring to a child born out of wedlock.


    "You disappointed me, No." Lala started to cry. The woman wanted to leave her son for a while, but Bara stops her.


    "A week after Ananya''s death, Prince Ahmed planned to ruin Dino. The mad prince knows Dino is devastated because of Ananya''s death. Prince Ahmed blames Dino for Ananya''s death. Dino should be the one that died that night, not Ananya. Prince Ahmed wants to take revenge for Ananya''s death by putting an aphrodisiac in Dino''s drink, unfortunately, an intern at Dino''s office realizes this vicious trap. The poor girl who intends to help Dino ends up make love with Dino because she also drinks some aphrodisiac. The girl takes Dino away before Prince Ahmed''s men drag Dino to the location where they prepare the trap. The girl was pregnant. She didn''t want to tell her family the identity of the man who impregnates her. She also didn''t tell her pregnancy to the man because she didn''t want Dino to think that she framed Dino for money. The girl that we are talking about now is actually my step-sister, Rere."


    Dino lowered his head unable to look at Bara and Lala''s faces. Lala was hurt to hear that her child impregnates a woman but does not marry her after three years.


    "Where''s Rere?" Lala looked at Bara. Bara feels a ray of hope in uniting Dino and Rere. Lala wants Dino and Rere to unite for Leon''s sake. At least Hanin has a mother figure. Lala believes that Bara will bring Dila and the triplets to Jakarta sooner.


    "Rere and Dila are in the appartement."


    ** ****


    Dila pressed the television remote. She just turns off the TV that broadcasts news of Dino and Gesa''s kidnapping case. All Malaysian media broadcast the facts behind Ananya''s death. Dila breathes a sigh of relief, finally, the mystery of Ananya''s death comes to light. Prince Ahmed has been detained by the Malaysian Royal Police for premeditated murder. His crown prince title was revoked. Prince Ahmed will not be a king. His position as the crown prince was replaced by his younger brother.


    "Why don''t you tell me the truth, Re?" Dila looked at Rere with sad eyes.


    "Why should I do that, sis? To be honest, Leon is not Bara''s child but Dino''s child." Rere felt her chest tighten when she says that. At a time like this, she really needed Tia, but Bara had sent Tia and Daniel to Jakarta.


    "Why are you hiding the truth from me? I was sorry for Dino who knows nothing about his son. Dino is a very responsible man. He won''t let you suffer by yourself. Why did you do this?" Dila wanted an explanation.


    "I don''t want to take back my words, sister. I don''t want what he thought about me became reality. He said that I framed him for money. His words hurt me, Sister. How could he say that to me? I wanted to help him from that trap that night, but I became the victim instead. They want to ruin Dino''s career by making a scandal between Dino and a prostitute. I just wanted to help him because he''s the CEO in the office. They put aphrodisiacs in his drink. Accidentally, I even drank a drink that had been given an aphrodisiac. But after that, I still tried to keep my mind clear and take Dino out from the bar. After that, we cannot bear the aphrodisiac effects and do things that are not supposed to do. Leon was born into the world because of the damned drink. Even though Leon was born because of a mistake, but I love him so much. He''s my son, sister." Rere hugged Dila and cried. "Bara is our protector. If it wasn''t for him maybe Leon and I would be living on the streets. My mother kicked me out when she found out I was pregnant. Bara and I are not married. He loves me as a sister."


    "I understand how you feel." Dila feels sorry for Rere.


    "It hurts here." Rere held Dila''s hand and placed it on her chest.


    "I know Re. When we want to help someone, but that person accuses us of doing something bad. It really hurts. Sometimes we want to scold them and tell the truth. I thank you. If you didn''t come that night, maybe Dino would be crushed. wouldn''t be able to stand up like he is now. I don''t know what would happen to him if you weren''t around."


    "Pain Sis." Ree is crying.


    "I know." Dila touched Rere''s face and wiped her tears. "I''m sorry that Dino has hurt you."


    "You don''t need to apologize."


    "Thank you for everything."


    "What do you mean?"


    "You have saved a husband who has just lost his wife. Dino has been frustrated since his wife died. Ananya''s departure was so quick and unexpected.


    "It should be."


    "Rere. May I ask a question?"


    "What is that?"


    Dila swallowed her saliva. For some reason she suddenly hesitated to ask about Bara and Rere''s relationship. There was still a lot she didn''t understand. She needs an explanation.


    Bara and Rere are very mysterious. If they don''t have a relationship why are they so close?


    "Sis. What do you want to ask?"


    "Are you going to answer it?"


    "Yes."

 Chapter 47 - Meeting Leon

    "If you''re not married and he only considers you as a sister, how could both of you seems so passionate?" Dila covered her own mouth after realizing that she was thinking out loud.


    Rere laughed as she wiped her tears. "Are you peeping on us, sister?"


    "Don''t tell me Bara remembers everything?" Dila put her hands on her hips knowing that she had been lied to.


    "It seems so." Rere just shows her a smile. She was sure that Dino would come to her after this to discuss Leon''s identity.


    Rere raised her hand, "I just want to tell you that I have nothing to do with all of this. If you want to be angry, just vent your anger at Bara, okay? And please do that inside the room. You might want to make up for wasting your precious four years by making another sibling for the triplets."


    Dila put her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry even though she was embarrassed because Rere found out the truth. Realizing that Dila''s anger is growing every second, Rere starts running away to calm herself.


    Rere was crying in front of the balcony. Everything has been exposed. Dino already knew if he had a child with her.


    "After this, I''m sure he will come to me and ask Leon''s identity. I shouldn''t have come here. KL is a nightmare for me. He finally knew that he impregnated me that night. What should I do, God? Is there no other way? I hope Leon''s father''s identity will be a secret forever, but¡­." Rere could only lament her fate.


    *****


    Dino has been discharged from the hospital. The man takes Hanin to Ananya''s graveyard. Hanin didn''t talk a lot. The little girl just stared at her father silently.


    "Honey, we met again," Dino said while rubbing Ananya''s tombstone.


    "Who is are you taking to father?" Hanin pretends to ask Dino.


    "This is your mother''s graveyard. Hanin is a big girl, isn''t she?" The little girl nodded.


    "Actually, Hanin''s mother died when Hanin was little. Mom Dila is not Hanin''s biological mother. She is Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa''s mother."


    "Hanin knows, father. Mom has told me. Hanin had been here twice," Hanin said innocently. Hanin also told Dino that Dila had taken her to Ananya''s grave. Dila tells Hanin about Ananya so the little girl would not forget her mother.


    Dino was touched, Dila really takes care of his child even more than him. Dila introduces Ananya to Hanin so the girl doesn''t forget who her mother is.


    "Father, I know it''s my mother. Mother is in heaven now. Mom says that I''m an adult. I need to know who my mama is." Hanin stroked Dino''s cheek.


    Dino tears roll down from his eyes. He wept bitterly as he hugged Hanin. He didn''t expect her little girl is getting older and become more understanding.


    "Don''t cry, father. I know that mother is in heaven. Mom told me that I''m a strong child. Father and mom are like siblings. That''s what mom told me. Father, Did I really have a cute little brother?"


    Dino cried even more as he hugged Hanin tightly. They left some roses on Ananya''s graveyard. They also pray that Ananya will rest in peace. Dino halts his steps when he saw Bara carrying a boy. The child is still very small. Bara smiled at him.


    Dino felt like his chest is going to burst when he saw Leon for the first time. Sadness overcame the man. The child''s eyes, nose, and face all resembled his. Leon is like a small replica of himself. Dino let go of Hanin''s hand and run to Dino and Leon. Dino tries to catch his breath as he looks at his son up close. It is impossible to put what he feels right now into words.


    Tia approached Hanin and held the child''s hand.


    "That''s your younger brother. His name is Leon." Hanin nodded with understanding.


    "My son." Dino hugged Leon tightly. Tears spilled from his eyes as he kissed Leon''s cheeks and forehead. The boy looks confused when Dino hugged him tightly.


    "Who is this, father?" Leon asked Bara when Dino finally let go of the boy.


    "This is your father, this is also your dad. Leon has two fathers. A father and a dad." Bara crouched down to be the same height as Leon.


    Bara pointed at Hanin who stand next to Tia. "That''s Leon''s sister. Her name is Hanin. Leon has a big sister beside Alana."


    Bara explained in a language that Leon could understand about Dino and Hanin. Leon was hypnotized by Bara''s words. What can the child do? He doesn''t know anything.  He obeyed the words of adults like Bara.


    "Big sister."


    "Little brother."


    Hanin and Leon ran toward each other. Hanin then hugged her little brother tightly.


    "You really resemble our father." Hanin stroked and kissed her little brother''s hair.


    "You are so beautiful, big sister."


    Dino was touched to see his two children already started to familiarize themself with each other. Although they have a long way to go, he was ready to face it. They have solved one problem and now Dino wanted to solve his problem with Rere. Leon''s identity must be clarified. Dino approached Bara and touched the man''s shoulder. "Thank you for taking care of Leon all this time."


    "I also want to thank you for taking care of my wife and children."


    "Do you remember everything, Bar? You are really a great con artist." Dino poked Bara.


    "What do you think?" Just rolled his eyes. "I''ll take the kids home."


    "It''s up to you. Just settle your business with Dila."


    "You also need to solve your problem with Rere. Just give her some assurance."


    "Okay, brother-in-law." Dino even teases Bara.


    "Don''t call me brother-in-law because it''s not official yet." Bara keeps on mocking Dino.


    *** ****


    Rere can only yield when Bara told her to meet Dino at a restaurant. Bara even books a private space for them.


    "Since when do you recognize that it was me?" Rere feels awkward because they were alone. Tia and Bara are taking care of Hanin and Leon.


    "Since our first meeting in Ipoh city."


    "Then, why did you keep your silence?"


    "I don''t want you to run away from me. I pretend to act like you. "


    "What do you want?"


    "I want to be a responsible man to you, Re. I''m sorry for hurting you with what I said in the past." Dino knelt before Rere.


    Rere rose from her seat. She took a few steps back.


    "You don''t have to do that, sir."


    "Please don''t call me like that. Just call me brother or whatever you are comfortable with, but don''t call me sir. You''re not an apprentice in my office anymore. You''re the mother of my child."


    "How did you remember that I am the mother of your child?"


    Dino was silent. he just stared at Rere in silence.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Rere interrupted Dino''s thoughts.


    "Marry me, Re." Dino boldly touched Rere''s hand and handed her the ring.


    Rere was shocked and touched by Dino''s proposal, but she suddenly remembered something and pushed Dino''s hand away.


    "I can''t marry you. If it''s only for Leon, you don''t have to worry. I have a dream wedding. I wanted to marry the man I love. I am relieved that you have met Leon. I will give you the freedom to meet Leon, but I have to reject your proposal."


    "We can start from the beginning, Rere. I will learn to love you."


    "I am sorry, but I can''t do that." Rere the left Dino just like that.


    "Rere, " Dino screamed but got no answer.


    The man chased after Rere, "We''re not done talking yet."


    "We did. We have nothing to talk about anymore."


    "But there is. It''s about Leon."


    "You can meet him. I won''t stop you."


    "We need to clarify Leon''s status."


    "No need."


    "But I want everyone to know that he is my son."


    "He''s your biological child but he has no kinship with you."


    "I want to correct and repent my mistakes."


    "But you don''t have to marry me for that."


    "That''s the most important point, Re. I have ruined your life. I want to be responsible to you and Leon."


    "I don''t want you to do that."


    "You have to accept it. I will do everything to make you fall for my love."


    "Are you sure?" Rere even sneered at Dino.


    "You will be ensnared by the charm of this handsome widower." Dino approached Rere. They were only a few centimeters apart. "Dino Putra Chaniago always gets what he wants, including his wife and children."


    "I''m not your wife." Rere pushed Dino to keep them far away.


    "You will be my wife."


    "Don''t be so sure. I won''t accept your proposal."


    "There are children who bind us. We will marry for the sake of the children."


    "Watch your mouth. Don''t be so sure."


    "I really believe that you will be my wife."


    "You are crazy." Rere left Dino just like that. She didn''t want to say more. She could be stressed if she kept arguing with Dino.

 Chapter 48 - Dinos Proposal

    In the end, all of them left Kuala Lumpur and headed for Jakarta. Bara and Dila have reconciled and resolved their problems. Dino, Lala, and Hanin accompany them to the airport. Rere, Tia, Leon, and Daniel also come back with them. Dino''s heart feels empty from parting with Leon. They had only been together a few days but they have to part now.


    "Leon, don''t forget about Grandma, okay? If Grandma goes to Jakarta, we would go for a walk, okay, baby?" Lala rubbed her grandson''s head.


    "Okay, gramma," Leon said with his unclear pronunciation. The child can''t talk properly, yet.


    "I will often call you to ask Leon''s condition," Dino said while handing his cell phone to Rere. It seems that his playboy instinct starts to take action that makes him acts coquettishly and flirtatiously to his future wife.


    "What do you mean?" Rere was looking at Dino with bewilderment. For some reason, Rere felt that Dino acts strangely today.


    "Give me your cell phone number," Dino said then winked his eye at Rere.


    Rere looked annoyed that Dino was starting to flirt with her. "Why does it have to be my cell phone number?"


    "There''s no way that I ask Leon''s condition to Bara or Dila. Who''s Leon''s mother? Just give it to me, Re. I just want to know how my son is doing."


    "Just give your number, Re. Dino is right. Who else can he asked about Leon''s condition besides you?" Bara wanted to help Dino and he glanced at Dila to join the fun.


    "How could you tell Dino to call and ask me about Leon? You are the child''s mother, Re." Dila even said teasingly while looking at her husband.


    At that moment, Dino realized that Bara and Dila were trying to help him. Dino smiled, pleased that he had supporters. The man gave a thumbs up for Dila and Bara.


    In the end, Rere typing her number on Dino''s cellphone with a dejected face.


    "Never call me if it''s not important." Rere gave a warning.


    "Anything about Leon is a very important matter," Dino said.


    "Don''t flirt with me.


    "Who''s flirting with you?" Dino said before shrug off. "Did you afraid that I might make you fall for me?"


    "You need to stop doubting a widower''s charm. Once you fall into his arms, there is no turning back." Bara keeps provoking Rere.


    "What are you talking about, brother? You guys have been talking about a widower''s charm. What kind of charm did a widower have? On contrary, a widower is usually an old man."


    "Men shine brighter the older they get, Re." Dino smiled happily.


    "That is true. They have a power of a bull, not a horse anymore." Bara shows his muscle. He had begun to talk about perverted things.


    "Bara," Dila warned her husband.


    Rere returns Dino''s phone. The man''s face was full of a very sweet smile. Rere wrote her name on the number on Dino''s phone, but Dino changed her contact name to ''Hanin and Leon''s mother''.


    Dino was determined to pursue Rere. Although he can''t feel any love between them yet, he will try. As a man, he must be responsible for the little angel named Leon.


    As a father, Dino wants to give complete love to Hanin and Leon. Marriage is the only way to achieve that and the marriage will also bound the two children in a sibling relationship. Only a complete family can make a child understand the real meaning of a family.


    "Baby, you need to be careful, okay? Tell dad when you arrive in Jakarta," Dino said then kissed Leon''s cheek but his eyes stared at Rere. "Do you also want me to kiss you, Re?" Dino winked, making Rere uncomfortable.


    "You need to marry first before doing that," Bara laughed while nudged Dino''s arm.


    "What''s your problem, brother?" Rere stared angrily at her brother. She doesn''t want Dino to flirt with her.


    Tia and Dila looked at each other and start teasing Rere. They understood that Dino was in his flirty mode.


    "Bye, No, We must be going back now," Dila said then split up with Dino, Lala, and Hanin. When Dino can''t see Rere''s back anymore, he took his mother and child home.


    " No, what is your plan next?" Lala asked directly when they arrived at home. Hanin was sound asleep so they could easily talk about Rere.


    "I plan to marry Rere," Dino said sound relaxed.


    "Are you serious about marrying Rere? Do you love her?"


    "Love isn''t there yet, Mom, but I''m sure that love will come after we get married. Isn''t the essence of true love the love that comes after the marriage? I can see that from Bara and Dila. They married because of an arranged marriage but they love each other in the end. They protect each other though they were separated for four years. They both preserve their love toward each other even in separation."


    "True love indeed comes after marriage, but you''ve had a child. Your case is totally different from Bara''s, No. "


    "Leon is not a mistake, Mom. It was our mistake for doing that before marriage. If Rere wasn''t there that night I might have fallen into that damn prince''s trap." Dino started to get angry when he remember prince Ahmed. That man killed Ananya. He never regrets Leon''s existence. Dino is happy to have a son even though the boy is not his and Ananya''s son.


    "Did Rere agrees to marry you?" Lala asked. For some reason she doubted that Rere would accept Dino''s proposal.


    "Whether she agreed or not, she had no choice to reject my proposal for Leon''s sake."


    "That''s not how it works, No. Marriage is not something you can force." Lala started to panic seeing Dino''s attitude.


    "Of course it is. I will just complain to Bara about her rejection and I am sure he can convince his sister to marry me. The only problem is our big age gap. We are 14 years apart. I''m 39 while Rere is 25. Having a very young wife will make me give in to her will after our marriage. I have robbed her of her youth. At least, I want to make her happy as my wife."


    "You''re overconfident."


    "Of course, I have a long history on how to make a woman happy, mom" Dino teases his mother.


    "What a flirty widower."


    "Am I?"


    "When are you going to propose Rere?"


    "This weekend, I want to go to Jakarta to meet Rere''s parents and propose to her. Please come along with me, mom. I need to convince Rere''s parents that I wholeheartedly want to marry their little girl."


    "Little girl? are you sure?" Lala teases Dino.


    "In her ID card, she is still a girl, an unmarried woman, even though she is actually a single mom with a son."


    "You''re crazy."


    "I am crazy for being a widower for too long, Mom. I need a wife. I need someone who can warm my bed." Dino still talks in childish behavior.


    "I think you''re right. Being a widower for too long can actually make you crazy."


    *****


    "We''ve arrived at the airport, Bar," Dino called Bara as soon as they step inside the building at Soekarno-Hatta airport.


    "Have you met my driver, yet?" Bara asked.


    "Not yet." Dino looked at Lala and Hanin.


    "Wait for a second, I will call my driver," Bara said before hung up the phone.


    Not long after, Bara''s driver came to fetch them. The driver took them directly to Bara''s house. For some reason, Dino started to panic when he realizes that he is going to meet Herman and Ainil. He was also confused about his own reaction. This was not his first time meeting a woman''s parents to propose, but strangely he became nervous and his hands were sweating.


    "Are you okay, No?" Lala realized her son''s nervousness.


    "I don''t know why, but my heart just can''t calm down even though I have done this before." Dino brushed his hair.


    "It was normal for you to be nervous. It''s been a long time since the last time you''ve done this."


    "Dad, do you want to propose Leon''s  mommy?"


    "Yes, honey."


    "How could little Leon had been born before you marry Leon''s mommy?"


    Dino was shocked to get this kind of question from Hanin. He doesn''t know what is the best way to tell a little girl the truth. Dino is in a dilemma. It was impossible to tell Hanin that Leon was his illegitimate child.


    "Why do you asking such a question, baby girl?"


    "Hanin once asked the teacher. Why Hanin cannot find Hanin''s picture in dad and mother''s wedding photo? Then the teacher said that God was creating Hanin at that time so Hanin was not in dad and Mother''s wedding photo. The teacher also said that Hanin was born after dad and Mother getting married. Then what about Leon? Why little Leon born first when dad and Leon''s mommy aren''t married yet?"

 Chapter 49 - Dino Proposed To Rere

    Dino started to rub his head for not being able to answer Hanin''s question. His daughter is growing and getting smarter every day. Dino is looking at Lala, hinting at his mother to help him answer Hanin''s question.


    "Hanin is still young to know about this," Lala said to her granddaughter. The woman then started to talk about another topic, making Hanin forgot her question.


    The car finally arrived in front of Bara''s house. The man and Dila were waiting for their arrival.


    "Welcome to Jakarta, brother." Bara greets Dino by giving him a fist bump. Unexpectedly, they are getting closer easily.


    "Hi, sister-in-law." Dino teases Dila.


    "Oh my, please stop it, no," Dila grumbled while walking to Lala and Hanin.


    "My little girl," Dila said then pick the girl up in her arms although the six-year-old Hanin was quite heavy.


    "Mom. I miss You," Hanin said bitterly.


    "Mom also misses you too, baby girl." Dila has not been separated from Hanin since they have lived together for four years. Dila misses the little girl quite a lot because she had considers Hanin like her own child.


    "How are you, aunty?" Dila shook Lala''s hands.


    "I am healthy, Dil." Lala hugged Dila warmly. "You look so happy now, Dila. Are you happy to be with Bara again?"


    "I am very happy, aunty. He is my happiness, my life, and my heart."


    "Since when did you start to overreact like this?"


    "Just recently. Aunty, Hanin, let''s go inside and take a break, you must be tired. Let Bara and Dino talked. Bar, I''ve prepared drinks and snacks on the table, okay?" Dila tells her husband.


    "Why don''t you call your husband lovingly? Why don''t you try to call him something like honey, sweety, sweetheart, or my husband?" Dino even sneered at Dila.


    "She only being passionate when she''s in our room, No." Bara even teased his wife.


    "You pervert." Dila stomped her foot leaving Dino and Bara.


    "Is this your and Dila''s house?" Dino asked while looking at Bara''s home. "Where''s Rere''s house?" Dino looked at his surroundings.


    "The third house from here, but because Rere, Dian, and my house are linked together, you can actually access Rere house from this house. Did you miss Rere that much?" Bara started to teases Dino.


    "I miss Leon."


    "What about Leon''s mother?"


    "Bar, is Rere really going to accept my proposal? I was rejected bluntly the last time I propose to her."


    "You must believe that she is going to accept your proposal. What we think of might become reality. I will convince her to accept your proposal. You have to marry for Leon''s future. I don''t want people out there ridiculed my nephew. I love Leon. I have loved him since he was still in my sister''s womb."


    "Thank you for giving me your blessing, bar. Even though love hasn''t come to us yet, I''m sure we will start to love each other after our wedding."


    "I was once experiencing a similar situation to yours. Even though now we love each other deeply, Dila and I got married through an arranged marriage because of a situation. Dila was so down because she loved Fatih in our early married life. No one knows our fated partner, but our matchmaking turns out to be the best option all along. It turned out that I love my wife so much, I love the woman that my parents choose for me. You just need to believe that your family only wants the best for you. Maybe Leon is God''s way to match you and Rere. Are you ready to marry Rere?"


    "I am, Bar."


    "Rere is still immature. Sometimes her childish nature appears. She has to become a mother because of her circumstances. You have to be patient and try to understand her childish attitude. She is a woman with big pride. She does not want others to see her weaknesses. She would say that she is okay even though she is sick. She''s someone that likes to hide her true feeling. She is a prideful person. I will give you an example of Rere''s pridefulness. Her pride was hurt when you say that she framed you for money. If she is not that prideful, she might tell you when she realizes that she was pregnant. Rere knows your identity. She can just come to your company and ask you to be responsible for your action which can easily solve the problem."


    "It''s all my fault, Bar. How could she be okay after what I said? I''ve recklessly accused her when she was just trying to help me. If she accepted my proposal, I will try to be a good husband for your sister."


    "I will guarantee that both of you are going to marry soon." Bara tapped Dino''s shoulder.


    *****


    "What the heck is this?" Rere was shocked to learn that Dino asked her hand in marriage to Herman and Ainil. Rere was suspicious of Dino''s arrival and her presumption was right, it turned out that Dino directly asked her hand in marriage from her father.


    "Dino asks your hand in marriage from us." Herman looked at her daughter.


    "But father." Rere pitifully looked at Herman.


    "Rere, come with me!" Bara said coldly. Rere shuddered at his brother''s unfriendly face. she follows Bara unwillingly to the study.


    "Why don''t you want to marry Dino?"


    "Brother, what is the point of marriage if it is just for Leon''s sake? I can take care of Leon by myself so far. We can take care of Leon without getting married. I don''t love him, brother."


    "You just need time to love Dino, Re. Just marry him for Leon''s future if you are really a good mother."


    "What do you mean? Am I not a good mother figure for my son, now?"


    "Children need both of their parents because they need father and mother figure in their lire. Leon and Hanin could have a strong bond. They can live together if both of you get married. Leon needs his father and sibling''s love. Don''t separate them just because of your selfishness. Dino just wants to be responsible for his past mistake. He wants to atone for his mistake"


    "But, marriage cannot be forced, brother."


    "Leon needs a legal status. Do you want people to scold and bully him as an illegitimate child because his parents are not married? You don''t want that to happen, right? If the man wants to take responsibility, why don''t you accept it? Every woman in your position will ask the man to be responsible, but you. I can''t understand your mind. Maybe Leon is God''s way to unite both of you. Just do it for Leon. Dino is a good man. I can confirm that he''s a good man. He is a great father to Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa. He took care of my three children like his own."


    "But, Leon and Hanin can get closer without us getting married. Hanin can stay here if Dino allows it."


    "It is not that simple, Re. Did you refuse to get married because you feel that you are too independent? or, did you feel like you can do everything without a male figure in your life? You don''t want Dino''s money because you have a lot of wealth, right?"


    "That''s not the point, brother."


    "Then what? Give me one reason why did you reject Dino''s proposal? If you do not want to get married to Dino, find another man who wants to marry you and acknowledge Leon as his son. Does that man even exist?"


    "Bro .."


    "I give you the choice. If you don''t listen to me, then I know my worth and I am going to step back. I''m just your stepbrother that has no right to take care of your life. We''re just strangers who met because of our parent''s marriage."


    "Please don''t say something like that, brother" Rere panicked at Bara''s anger. "Okay. I will marry Dino. But, if he fails to make me happy in the future, I am going to blame you for my misery."


    "I never wrong." Bara hugged Rere. "He will be a good husband for you."


    "Give me one answer that can make me sure about Dino. Why do you believe in Dino?"


    "He is a good man. The proof is that he has been a good father to my three children all this time. He loves my son sincerely. He has been a father figure for my children all this time. Trust me. Marrying Dino is the right choice. I''m sure he will make you happy."


    "Are you so sure?"


    "Yes. I''m very sure. My choice is never wrong. If he hurts you. I''m the first to kill him. I just want you to be happy. I know if he can make you happy. I want Leon and his father to live together. Son can''t live without presence of a father."


    Rere could no longer dodge. She was sure that Bara only wanted the best for her. How Bara treats her all this time, has proven his affection as a brother. Bara always protects her without her knowing it.

 Chapter 50 - Dinos Doubt

    "Bar, did I really do the right thing?" Dino suddenly hesitated after proposing to Rere. The man knew that Rere agreed to marry him because of Bara''s persuasion.


    "Are you starting to doubt your choice?" Bara touched Dino''s shoulder.


    "I''m afraid this marriage will not going to work if Rere is forced to make such a decision. Rere is a stubborn, rebellious girl. She has been born with a silver spoon in her mouth so she could live independently without men''s help. Can I deal with her childish behavior?"


    "Then, you should be the one to change Rere''s childish behavior. Sometimes marrying a childish person could turn you back to your younger days, brother. You should be proud to get such a young wife. Why are you being cynical?"


    "Rere is different from those average woman, Bar. She is a proud person and does not want to admit her feelings. I don''t want her to regret her decision to marry me."


    "Just Make her happy, then." Bara sounds confident. "Don''t make her regret being your wife. Make her happy and grant all her dreams. Make her the happiest wife and mother on the earth."


    "How? Rere has everything she needs."


    "You''re wrong on that." Just shook his head.


    "What do you mean?"


    "She hasn''t found her true love, a perfect man like me." Bara smile, feeling proud of himself.


    "How can you be so sure about that?" Dino was curious.


    Bara urges him to marry Rere and even though he still has Ananya in his heart, Dino wants to learn to love Rere.


    "No, you and Rere are a match made in heaven. Nothing is a coincidence. God has planned everything. If Dila and I weren''t stranded by the tsunami, how could we found out about your relationship? This is God''s plan of bringing you together. I know what kind of person Rere is. Even though she is a prideful person, she has a tender heart. She cares about others although her concern sometimes led her to misfortune. If she doesn''t care about you, she could just ignore it when she realizes Prince Ahmed''s plan. And if that really happened, Prince Ahmed will get what he wants."


    Dino was stunned to hear what Bara said. Bara just said something that made perfect sense.


    "Our age gap is so big, Bar. She is just too young and childish, How could I understand such a person?"


    "As childish as she is, Rere already has a child. Leon''s existence is a piece of strong evidence to prove my point. Leon is here because of you and Rere''s deed, right? So, stop calling her too young" Bara lecture Dino jokingly and started to laugh at his own joke.


    "I''m serious, you bastard." Dino hit Bara''s arm. "But it is not the point, Bar. Even a high school girl can also make a baby."


    "I''m also serious, you flirty widower." Bara keeps teasing Dino.


    "Why did you also call me like that?" Dino looks upset even though he was only pretending to look like one.


    "Because you are a widower and you like to flirt with Rere. You need to win Rere''s heart with your charm. Did I really have to teach you to seduce Rere?"


    "We are way too different, Bar. You use barbaric methods to win Dila. I can''t force Rere like you."


    "Love is in the small thing. Spending a lot of time together with her will make you love each other. I''m sure both of you will love each other."


    "Why are you sound so confident?"


    "If you need to, just make love with Rere on your first night. Let her know how strong you are. Remember, intimate touch strengthens the relationship between husband and wife. Bring her to her knees and makes her always want you. Take her heart and make her happy."


    "Your topic never far of from the crotch." Dino shook his head.


    "So what? What''s wrong with that? We are grown men and are married. What kind of topic are you expecting? Do you want us to talk about the type of fish? If your answer is correct, I will give you a bicycle."


    "What the heck are you talking about, Bar? Luckily, Dila is not crazy to have a husband like you." Dino shook his head.


    "She is happy to have a husband like me. She''s happy and even grateful."


    "Your confident level is out of this world, Bar," Dino said with a whisper.


    "What did you say?"


    "What if Rere ran away on our wedding day? What if she still loves Angga?"


    "Rere doesn''t love Angga. If she still loves the man, she will definitely accept him. But the reality said otherwise, she rejected him. You have to be optimistic to get Rere''s love. Just do it for your little family. Hanin needs a mother. Leon needs a father. Just marry for the sake of the children and then you will love each other. Don''t give up before the fight hasn''t even started. How could a grown man like you sound like a sissy?"


    "I''m afraid I can''t be Rere''s dream husband."


    "Then try to be one. Be the one who takes control of your marriage because you''re older than Rere. Rere is still so childish even though she is 24 years old."


    "I''ll try, Bar."


    "Just flirt with her. Give her the intoxicating pleasure of marrying you," Bara said while imagining Dila. In his mind, Dila is wearing a maid outfit in a blue movie. Dila approaches Bara with a broom in her hand and starts to sweep in front of Bara''s eyes. Her smooth thighs were exposed. Bara coquettishly touched Dila''s legs. Bara smiled at the thought. Bara''s perverted brain is working now. For some reason, the thought of Dila wearing a cosplay costume arouse his carnal instinct.


    "Just what are you thinking about, Bar? I am sure it must be something pervert." Dino woke  Bara up from his daydream.


    "Sorry." Bara then smiled cutely. "I''m going to find Dila first. She can help me relieve my pain," Bara said ambiguously. After that, the man ran to find his wife to make his naughty fantasy a reality.


    "What a perverted man."


    Bara left Dino just like that. Dino was silently staring at the blooming flower bed. He found it difficult to win Rere''s heart because Rere was offended by his words at that time. The girl just keeps hiding her own scar. Rere is willing to be blasphemed. A pregnant girl without a husband. The girl was tough enough to face the scorn of society.


    Dino''s smartphone rings. It was Tia who called him. The girl wants to meet him and after deciding a place, Dino went to the location that Tia had shared via WA.


    "What is wrong?" Dino asked when he met Tia. He saw the woman talking to two men. One of them looks like a photographer.


    "You really suck at this," Tia grumbled.


    "What do you mean?"


    "You and Rere are getting married but you haven''t prepared pre-wedding photos."


    "What¡­." Dino is bewildered. How could he forget this important thing? The man scratches his head. It would be Rere''s first marriage, so the girl definitely wanted a special and magnificent wedding.


    "Stop gawking. Let''s take some pictures. Go there and change your clothes." Tia then gives a sign to the makeup artist to come closer.


    "I want the groom''s make up looks like the man in this photo." Tia shows the concept of Dino and Rere''s wedding photo. Rere is a Korean drama lover, so Tia prepared a pre-wedding photo with a Korean drama theme. The drama reference for this wedding is from the drama Crash Landing On You.


    Dino nodded. He was happy that Tia prepared everything.


    "I told Rere that this was your idea. Please try to pose like captain Ri." Tia gives Dino an army uniform.


    Rere is being dressed up by a make-up artist. Her makeup makes her look cute and sweet, like Soe Ye Jin. The clothes were very pretty on Rere''s body.


    Dino silently watched Rere that smile and laugh while the makeup artist tidying her hair. Looking at her melt Dino''s heart. It turns out that Leon''s mother is extremely pretty and adorable.


    "What are you looking at?" Rere frown and snaped at Dino when she notices Dino was staring at her.


    "Don''t be so fierce to me, darling." Dino starts flirting with Rere. He gave a sweet smile that can make women suffering from diabetes.


    A very professional photographer started to took Rere and Dino''s pre-wedding photo session after they are ready. They pose exactly like the Riri couple scene from the movie.


    Every now and then Dino takes the initiative to flirt with Rere by touching her. Even though Rere dislikes it, Dino did not stop. For some reason, Dino likes to see the furious Rere. The man even smiled when he sees his future wife''s angry face. Dino thinks that he is being nosy, but he likes to teases Rere.

 Chapter 51 - Rere And Dinos Agreement

    "Can you stop touching me every time you had a chance?" Rere asked curtly when they finished their photoshoot.


    "I can''t. I don''t know why but my hand just wants to keep touching you."


    "What a flirt."


    Dino put his hands on his waist and looking at Rere with a smile. Rere was aware of Dino''s actions.


    "Why did you smile? Is there anything funny?" For some reason, Rere keeps getting angry when she is with Dino. The scars from Dino''s misunderstanding didn''t just disappear the minutes he apologized.


    "Smile is a worship." Dino smiled again to annoy Rere.


    "Stop pretending to be wise."


    "Are you still angry?"


    "What do you think?"


    Tia shook her head at Rere and Dino''s small argument. Tia doesn''t want to interfere as both of them are adults. Tia was sure that Dino was able to handle Rere. Tia busied herself by helping the makeup artist and the photographer to clean up the mess after the photo session.


    "Re, you must be tired to hear this, but I''m really sorry," Dino said quietly with a pitiful face. Dino couldn''t act stubborn when talking with Rere. He started to know the character of the woman who had given birth to his child.


    "Did you think it''s easy to forgive?" Rere said while holding back her tears. Rere tries to keep her tears from falling, thinking that she must keep her prestige and dignity.


    "I know it''s not easy for you to forgive. I know you went through a lot when you conceive Leon. I know you have to endure a lot of insult and humiliation when you were pregnant. I understand how you feel."


    "I''ve lived happily with Leon. Why did you come to our life?" Rere hit Dino''s chest, venting her anger.


    "Destiny brought us together. God doesn''t want you and Leon to face the world alone anymore. God brought us together through Bara and Dila. I feel guilty about everything that I''ve done. I made a mistake by slandering you after you help me. If you did not come and help me, that damn prince would succeed in ruining my future. He must be very happy over my misery. Did you think I was happy with everything, Re? It hurts, Re. That mad prince tried to kill me after he killed my wife. I really don''t know what to do. I am truly sorry." Dino wanted to touch Rere''s hair but he stops before his hand touch the girl''s hair. Rere seems to watch the birds fly over the lake while standing with her back on Dino.


    Rere just kept silent and didn''t say anything to Dino''s confession. Even though Dino has apologized, she can''t just forget everything abruptly. She can''t give her forgiveness that easy to the man. The man had slept with her and made her felt the pain of humiliation from society. Rere is aware that she lives in Indonesia, and not in some foreign country, the places where people can easily turn a blind eye over women''s pregnancy before marriage. The people in Indonesia still keep up with the value of decency. Children born out of wedlock are a disgrace.


    "Re." Dino approached Rere then touched her shoulder.


    Rere slapped Dino''s hand away, dislike Dino''s touch.


    "What did you say to Bara so he forced me to marry you?"


    "I didn''t say anything."


    "You are lying." Rere is not convinced by Dino''s words.


    "I am not." Dino tried to make Rere believe her.


    "Then why did Bara force me to marry you?"


    "If you don''t want this marriage, it''s better to cancel before it''s too late," Dino said with a ridiculing smile.


    "Don''t talk nonsense. We''ve already come this far and we have sent out the invitations. I don''t want to embarrass my family for a second time."


    "What''s the point of continuing this marriage if you are suffering every second of it. Marriage cannot be done if one party is forced to do this. A marriage is invalid if one of us felt obliged to do this."


    "You should have never proposed to me." Rere started to blame Dino.


    "I want to be responsible for you and Leon. Just let me do my duty as father and husband. I want to be your protector."


    "I don''t need your protection. Bara can protect us."


    "Bara has a wife who needs his protection. He can''t take care of you."


    "Of course he can. If you didn''t step into the picture, the problem wouldn''t be this complicated."


    "How many times do I have to tell you that we can''t arrange our meeting. You cannot change God''s plan. We will unite if God wants us to be united. God wants me to atone for my past sins of taking your virginity."


    "You can atone your past sin by being responsible to Leon, without marrying me. This marriage tortures me." Rere tries to catch her breath after taking with so much anger. Her breath hitched when she said that.


    "Do you still love Angga?"


    "Don''t say his name in front of me." Rere''s anger that begun to subside flare again when Dino talked about Angga.


    "If you really love him. I will let you marry him. I''ll take care of Leon. I don''t want to ruin your future."


    "What kind of nonsense did you talking about? Leon is my life, my breath. I am the one who gave birth to him and raised him. You have no right to take Leon away from me. I''d rather lose Angga than Leon. The love between lovers can disappear as time goes by, but parents'' love will never disappear." Rere starts to get Emotional. She couldn''t imagine her life without Leon.


    "Then what do you want?" Dino questioned Rere.


    "Whether I like it or not, I have to marry you." Rere exhaled slowly. "I have some condition that you must obey in our marriage."


    Dino was silent. He listened to Rere''s words carefully. Even though he felt strange about Rere''s request, he still heard it. In a matter of days, the woman in front of him would become his wife.


    "I don''t have the power to cancel this marriage. My hands are tied. The first point that you have to crave in your brain is you can''t touch me."


    "I can''t touch you?" Dino''s brow furrowed. The man was quite shocked to hear Rere''s words. How could Dino keep his hand away from Rere? As a normal man, he has a need that requires his wife''s touch, especially when his wife is beautiful, has white and smooth skin, and 14 years younger than him. Dino doesn''t know how long he can last without his wife''s touch, especially when they are going to sleep in the same room and share the same bed.


    "Yes. I forbid you to touch me."


    "What kind of touch did you refer to?" Dino started to joke around. "Which area is forbidden to touch?"


    "Every part of my body."


    "Then how are we going to make love?" Dino laughed teasingly at Rere.


    "That''s the point of the rule."


    "Don''t be crazy, Rere. How can we be in a marriage with no physical touch? Husband and wife relationship is definitely tantamount to physical touch. They share their affection through physical contact."


    "Stop defying my words."


    "Okay." As a grown man, Dino tried to give in.


    "Second, never regard this marriage as a normal marriage. We got married just for Leon''s sake. Keep this in your head and don''t cross the line. To me, you are only Leon''s biological father, not my husband. We got married because we are forced to, not because we love each other."


    "Love comes from familiarity, Re. Maybe we don''t love each other now but we don''t know what will happen in the future, re. God can change people''s hearts easily. We might fall in love with each other. Don''t be too arrogant. I''m sure you will fall in love with me. I will trap you in this marriage before I trap you with my love."


    "Are you sure?"


    "I am. I can make you fall for me. Maybe you can''t see it now, but it will start to grow. I believe we will love each other in the future. I will make you fall in love and crazy about me."


    "Don''t talk nonsense. The third point, never ask me to act like a wife. You will have to prepare all your needs by yourself. I don''t want to serve you." A sense of relief spread throughout Rere''s body as she conveyed her thought to Dino.


    "You are sure?"


    "Yes. I''m sure. Why do you ask?"


    "Marriage is not a toy. Marriage is sacred. I want this marriage to be my last."


    "I was forced to marry you. It''s not that easy to accept you in my life. You agree or we don''t have to get married." Rere emphasized the words ''we don''t have to get married''.


    Dino fell silent. He didn''t respond to Rere''s words. He could refuse Rere''s conditions but he did not want to add another reason to fight. He knew Rere was too young and childish. Dino agreed to Rere''s condition but he knows that he won''t keep his words.

 Chapter 52 - Renos Marriage

    Reno ( Rere and Dino )


    Rere is standing on the balcony. Dino and her wedding will be held tomorrow morning. Rere hoped the time would just stop. She was not mentally prepared to be Dino''s wife. She feels like she missed something important.


    Rere sometimes regretted her departure to KL. If she did not go there, she might not meet Dino. The man was not going to know about her secret which is Leon. She can''t cry over the spilled milk now. Dino managed to influence Bara to force her into this marriage.


    Rere did not dare to refuse Bara''s request. The man held an important position in her life. She did not want her and Bara''s relation going bad because of this.  Although he is only her stepbrother, their bond is like the real siblings with blood relations. Rere realized that Bara was the one who stood beside her when she was having a hard time.


    Bara took care of her and supported her when Ainil blamed and kicked her out because of her pregnancy. Furthermore, Bara became the father figure for Leon so the boy can feel the love of a father. Rere couldn''t deny Bara''s important role in Leon and her life. Maybe if Bara wasn''t around, Rere would have a hard time taking care of Leon. Everything seems extremely easy just by his presence beside Rere. Bara is also the one who makes the family accept Leon and her.


    Rere was surprised when someone touches her shoulder. She turned around to see her stepbrother''s wife.


    "Sister-in-Law," Rere sighs after realize it was Dila who pats her shoulder.


    "Why haven''t you slept yet?"


    "I can''t sleep, sis."


    "Are you nervous because you will be married to Dino tomorrow?"


    "It is one of the reasons." Rere forced a smile.


    " I can feel your strong rejection about this marriage. Do you want to talk about it?"


    "I am okay, sis."


    "Stop lying. I can see the doubt in your eyes."


    "No, you can''t. It''s just your feelings."


    "But my hunch is always true. You lack something. You actually do not want to get married? You are forced to make this decision. Is my husband forcing you to marry Dino?"


    "There is nothing, sister. I am not forced on this marriage." Rere lied. Rere can''t tell Dila the truth because Dila is Dino''s cousin.


    "What can I do to stop you from saying any more lies. I can see clearly that you are lying to me. You can tell me anything to release your burden." Dila smiled sweetly as she held Rere''s hand. "You are Bara''s sister, which also makes you my sister as well. You can cry or scream at me to vent your frustration. If you are doubting your own feeling, we can still call the marriage off. You have to remember that marriage is not a plaything. It involves our life because marriage is our longest worship. We will live with our husband until death separates us. This is no a trivial matter."


    "Can I ask you a question?" Rere seems like she wants to find assurance from Dila.


    "Of course you can, what is it?"


    "When you were married to my brother, there is no love at all. Why did you marry him although you have a lover at that time?" Rere knows some of Dila and Bara''s love stories.


    "At that time I only believed in destiny. I prayed to God. If Bara is the one for me, please bring him closer to me. If he is not the right one, please send him away from me. I surrender all my feeling to God. I believe that birth, death, and marriage, are God''s destiny that can not be changed."


    "I also feel the same way, sis. I do not have a reason to refuse this marriage. Marrying Dino is my fate." Rere said.


    Dila smiled hearing Rere''s words. She approached the girl before hugged her tightly.


    "You have to believe that Dino will be a great husband for you. He will be the man of the family. He will protect you. I do not praise him because he is my cousin. I told you the truth. Dino is a good man. He was a great father for the triplets over the past three years. Dino loves the children. He never treats Hanin and the triplets differently. Tomorrow, you''ll be Hanin''s mother. I will let you know what the kid likes and dislike so both of you can get closer to each other."


    "I will try to love Hanin like I love Leon. I''m not going to treat them differently."


    "I''m glad to hear that. You can take my word for this, Re." Dila put her hand on Rere''s chest. "Dino will make you the queen of his heart. If he was not sure maybe he was not going to propose to you. Do you think that Dino marries you just for the sake of Leon? That''s not true, Re. He must have thought about everything carefully before asking you to become his wife. Dino did not fall in love that easily. He will surely learn to love you. I want you to remember that true love is the only love that exists after the marriage agreement."


    " I will remember that, sister."


    "Dino is a good man. He will make both you and Leon happy."


    Rere finally feels a little relieved after talking to Dila about Dino. Hopefully, the man could be a great husband and father for them. She hopes that she did not make any mistake in marrying Dino. Rere hopes she won''t regret her decision to marry Dino. After that, they kept talking until midnight.


    *****


    Dino and Rere just tied the knot. All rejoice with their marriage. Dino was mesmerized by Rere''s beauty. The woman was very beautiful in a white wedding dress. Her beautiful face radiated. Makes all eyes on her.


    Dino was nervous. The man just realized that his wife is very beautiful.


    Yes....


    Rere is officially married to him. They have become husband and wife. Dino will try to love and make Rere happy.


    Dino put a ring on Rere''s ring finger. After that, it'' is Rere''s turn to do the same thing for the man. After putting the ring on the man''s finger, Rere then kissed the back of Dino''s hand. The man approach Rere and kissed his wife''s forehead even though he was nervous and trembling. This was Dino''s first time touching a woman after four years. Rere actually wanted to dodge the kiss but she didn''t want to make things worse. Her family is happy about her marriage with Dino.


    Ainil, Bara, Herman, and Dila were very enthusiastic about their wedding. Tia and Daniel are also eager to see them marry. Gesa decided not to come because she needed time to calm her mind.


    The fact that Dino is Leon''s biological father really shocked her. The man second marriage left a deep wound in Gesa''s heart. Just thinking that she can''t take care of Dino and Hanin makes Gesa drowning in sadness. She wants to be Hanin''s mother to carry out Ananya''s last will. Gesa wants to be someone who is there for Dino and Hanin. She thinks that the only way to fulfill Ananya''s last will is by being Dino''s wife. Gesa has fallen in love with Dino since Ananya entrusts the man and Hanin to her. Before Ananya died, Gesa actually harbors some feelings for Dino. The man was a great husband, even Gesa once dreamed of getting married to someone as good as Dino.


    Dino and Rere''s wedding reception was held In the evening. Rere still used the same makeup artist to prepare her make-up and hairdo. Dila is the one who prepares her clothes. While the makeup artist working on Rere''s face, Ainil enters the room.


    "Mother," Rere greet her mother, noticing Ainil''s presence. "Have you done with the makeup?" Ainil smiled happily.


    "Yes, mother. I was done after putting on the scarf," Rere said with a smile. She was wearing Minang traditional clothes, the Red Koto Gadang. Her beauty is perfect like an Indian woman. Rere''s hands are decorated with henna. They combine the two traditions which are Javanese and Minang. The makeup artist then finished her job by putting the scarf on Rere''s head before leaving Rere''s room.


    "Is something wrong, mother?" Rere knew that Ainil wanted to talk to her about something.


    "I just wanted to give you some advice. Now that you are a wife, your responsibility has been taken over by Dino. Dino is not only Leon''s father now, he is your husband. As a wife, you must be dutiful and obey your husband''s words. Don''t be a disobedient wife. We are obliged to follow the husband''s words as long as the words do not contradict the Shari''a. I know that you''ve had a hard time accepting this marriage. I can see your smile but I know you are still bothered by something." Ainil pointed at Rere''s chest and continued, "A mother knows her child like the back of her hand. Don''t keep those hatreds in your heart, Rere. Bara only wants the best for you. He wants you to marry Dino not without reason. As a stepbrother who is older than you, he has a great role in your life. He won''t make mistake by choosing the wrong person for you."

 Chapter 53 - Marriage Advice

    "I know, mother," Rere whispered with a lowered head.


    "You are now leaving the place you''ve lived all this time to an unknown territory. You will feel this strange, anxious feeling towards him, but you need to be the earth for Dino so he could be your sky. Be like a calm land for him and he will be your pillar. Be his helper, for he will be your help. Do not underestimate him because he will hate you and do not stay away from him because he will forget you. If he is taking a step closer to you, bring yourself closer, if he is taking a step away from you, then stay away from him. Take care of his nose, ears, and eyes. Don''t let him smell anything from you except a beautiful fragrance and don''t let him see you unless you are beautiful. Marriage is worship too because we will do it till the end of our life. Take care of him during his mealtimes and when he sleeps, because the heat of hunger and sleep troubles are very annoying. Take care of his property and his family. Being the master of his wealth means that you''ve had good financial management, and being the master of the family means you have to take good care of them. Don''t spread his secret, and break his rules. If you spread his secret you are not keeping his honor. Disobeying his words means tearing his feeling."


    Rere was stunned when she heard Ainil''s advice. Her mother gives her a touching message. Hopefully, she can become a wife like Ainil the woman who stays with her husband until death. Ainil and Herman are role models for her. Both of them keep their love toward each other until their partner dies. They are getting married because they feel the same pain of being the one left behind by their spouse.


    Rere headed to the hotel ballroom where the reception was taking place. Due to covid 19, their marriage was held under strict health protocols. The invited guests were facilitated with a swab test two days before the event. The guests can only attend the party if their test results are negative.


    Rere was stunned to see the extremely luxurious party decorations. The hotel even changed the hall tiles based on Rere''s preferences. She remembers the time that she told Dino of her dream wedding. She didn''t expect the man to give her the wedding that she dreams of.


    "Did you prepare all of this?" Rere was amazed to see a Disneyland-style parade. She was paraded to a golden carriage to her party venue.


    "You actually can start to call me ''husband''," Dino whispered in Rere''s ear. Rere can feel the man''s breath in her ear and it made the woman shivering. On a whim, Dino blew his wife''s ear, which made Rere shudder even more.


    "What the hell are you doing," Rere irritatedly yelled at Dino''s silly act. "You need to stop being rude to your husband. You can actually start to call me dear, my husband, or just mas."


    "it is mas then," Rere whispered while looking at Dino with an annoyed face.


    "Yes, my dear wife." Goda Dino grabbed Rere''s hand.


    "Don''t touch me."


    "But we are lawfully husband and wife."


    "Stop flirting. Don''t you remember our agreement?"


    "It is okay as long as I flirt with my own wife, and not someone else''s wife."


    "You need to calm down," Rere replied curtly.


    Their wedding party went smoothly. A lot of businessmen who were Rere''s late father''s acquaintance also attend the wedding. They congratulate her on her marriage. Some state officials also attended the wedding. Rere was really moved. This is her dream wedding. It made her feels like she was in Disneyland. Although the concept of the wedding used Javanese and Minang traditions, Dino did not forget her wish to ride the golden train accompanied by a bridesmaid wearing a Disney dress. Rere tried to hide her smiled from her husband.


    "This is totally your dream wedding, Re," Tia said while escorting Rere to her room after the wedding reception is over.


    "This is not my room," Rere refused when Tia took her to a different room.


    "This is your room now." Tia swipes the card, opening the door, and switches on the light.


    Rere''s eyes widened at the decoration of this room. The big bed is placed in the middle of the room. A set of silk sofas was beside the bed. There are a lot of rose petals on the bed and a swan towel was decorated to welcome her. This was the typical decoration for newlyweds.


    The room looks spacious with glass walls showing the beautiful scenery of Bandung City. Rere was stunned and speechless.


    Why did Dino prepare it like this? Although the man had officially become her husband, Rere still shuddered in horror with the thought of being alone with him. Rere wasn''t ready to fulfill her duty as a wife for Dino yet. Rere doesn''t have feelings for her husband yet.


    "Where''s Leon?" Rere tries to lessen her nervousness.


    "You don''t have to worry about Leon. He is safe with aunt Ainil and your sister-in-law."


    "Why can''t I stay in my other room?" Rere stepped back. She can''t stand to see the decoration of the room. It started to look scary to her.


    "Where are you going?" Tia teases Rere.


    "To my room."


    "This is your room now. Mr. Dino will be here soon."


    "What?"


    "Stop showing that silly expression." The door was knocked on from outside. Tia is ready to open the door even though Rere forbids her.


    "You are here, Mr. Dino." Tia smiled at Dino who was accompanied by Bara and Zico.


    "Just go, newlyweds," Zico teased, patting Dino''s shoulder.


    "You can leave, Tia." Bara glanced at his secretary.


    "Okay, Sir."


    "See you tomorrow" Bara waved as they left Dino.


    Dino walks into the room anxiously. For some reason, he started to get nervous. He had become Rere''s husband. The thought that his wife was 14 years younger than him made Dino getting nervous every passing minute. He can''t treat Rere like his mature late wife, Ananya.


    "Assalamualaikum," Dino said while walking to the middle of the room. The man''s eyes widened at the decoration. It is the room for newlyweds who are ready to make love. Dino swallowed his saliva. He knows who did all this. Of course, Bara is the only one who can pull this off. The man just smiled sweetly.


    "Why aren''t you answer my greeting, dear?" Dino looked at Rere who is in the process of removing her scarf.


    "Who are you speaking to?" Rere acted nonchalantly to cover her nervousness.


    "Who else? Of course, I am talking to you." Dino approached Rere then stood behind his wife. The two of them looked at the mirror showing their reflection.


    "Why are you standing so close, mas?" Rere tries to walk away from the man but Dino touches her hips, prevent her from walking away. Rere was shaking and was about to faint from irritation.


    "So what if I want to be close to you?" Dino started teasing his wife. Seeing Rere''s annoyance made him happy. Rere looks even more attractive when angry.


    "But, I''m not used to this, mas."


    "Then, get used to it from now on."


    "I haven''t¡­."


    "Haven''t what, wife?" Dino pressed his body against Rere''s small figure. He helped her untie some pins on her head before took off the scarf on his wife''s head and threw the scarf on the floor.


    "What do you want, mas?"


    "I am helping you take your scarf off. If you want to, you can help me take off something." Dino said with a wink.


    "What''s wrong with you. Blah...blah...blah..." Rere was nagging at Dino as she starts to talk about their past.


    Dino laughed heartily at his wife''s nagging.


    "Have you talk enough?"


    "Not yet."


    "It seems that you need to learn that you can actually use your mouth for something else besides nagging."


    "What do you mean?"


    Dino gently pushed Rere''s body against the wall. Dino locked him up and both of Rere''s hands were raised above his head. Dino''s hands were propped against the wall, to the right and left of Rere''s head.


    Rere was pounding wildly looking at her husband''s face up close. Dino''s sharp eyes seemed to pierce him to the edge of his retina. The girl was getting nervous. Staring at Dino made him freeze for a moment.


    Suddenly, Dino''s lips started to crush Rere''s lips passionately. Rere stuttered, trying to resist but Dino''s hand gripped her chin tightly. After one long french kiss, Dino stopped his action.


    "I will teach other functions of your mouth next time." Dino winked then went to the bathroom. The man started to feel hot and decided to take a shower before going to bed.


    Rere was astonished and froze like a mannequin. She still can''t believe what just happened.

 Chapter 54 - Isnt This Their Wedding Night?

    After Dino finished bathing, it was Rere''s turn to take a bath. She was furious when she found that almost all the clothes in the wardrobe revealing almost all her skin, covering nothing. All her clothes have been changed to lingerie. No pajamas to cover her body. Even though Dino was her husband, Rere was uncomfortable and did not want to wear the revealing clothes in front of him.


    "This must be Tia, mother, and sister-in-law''s doing." The annoyed Rere tossing a few pieces of lingerie.


    "Are you okay, Re?" Dino approached his wife. He smiled as he saw the lingerie scattered in the closet. Now she knows why the woman angry.


    "Mas, are you the one who asked them to provide this?" Rere accused Dino.


    "Why did you blame me?" Dino started another round to tease his wife.


    "Who else if it is not you?"


    "Why don''t you just take a bath then just wear my t-shirt and pants."


    "I don''t want to." Rere sat down with a gloomy face. She looked at Dino annoyedly, still believe that the sexy lingeries were Dino''s doing.


    "All right. I won''t force you to wear anything you don''t want to, just wear one of that lingerie. I don''t think it will be comfortable, but I won''t mind if you decided to wear that. I haven''t seen a woman''s sexy body in a long time."


    "What a pervert," Rere replied in annoyance. In the end, she finally reaches for Dino''s shirt and shorts before entering the bathroom.


    Dino couldn''t help but laugh. The man took out his cell phone and called Dila.


    "Dil," Dino called when the phone connected.


    "What?"


    "Did you changed Rere''s clothes in her closet with the lingeries?"


    "What''s wrong? Shouldn''t you be happy?"


    "Who''s on the phone?" Bara asked quietly.


    The man was sleeping next to Dila. He hugged Dila from behind while teasing his wife. Bara kissed Dila''s neck and left a kiss mark there.


    "Bara," Dila warned him silently.


    Bara approached Dila and took his wife''s smartphone and turn on the speaker.


    "So, are you really the person behind these lingeries?"


    "Yes, but, I only bought it, Tia is the one who changed all of Rere''s clothes those lingeries."


    "Rere was mad now."


    "What do you mean by mad, No? Did Rere was mad on the bed?" Bara joins in the conversation.


    "It''s okay if she just gets mad on the bed, but she actually accused me of changing her clothes and blames me."


    "If Rere started to nag you, just kiss her lips to make her quiet," Bara said casually. The man burst into laughter as Dila pinched his husband''s belly button to stop the man''s dirty talk.


    "You are crazy, Bar. Dila," Dino said as he wanted to talk to the woman.


    "I am listening, No"


    "I want to ask you for something. I don''t want you to interfere in our marriage. I know she married me because of Bara, but I will get her heart without you guys'' help. I will fight for Rere''s love."


    "Wow. what a touching confession." Bara keeps teasing Dino.


    "You are too nosy, Bar. be quiet or I''m going to strangle your neck."


    "How dare you strangle my husband, I will mutilate you if you dare to do that. did you want to see me being a widow?"


    Dila''s words make Bara happy that he started to squeeze Dila''s ass as her reward.


    "Whatever, But, I''m really grateful for your help, guys."


    "Have a great wedding night." Bara teased his brother-in-law.


    "Wedding night your ass!." Dio said as he hung up the phone.


    Rere came out of the bathroom. She washes her hair because she suffers from the heat and her hair is stiff from using hair spray. Dino''s oversized shirt is too big on Rere''s body. Dino smiled at his wife''s appearance.


    "Why are you smiling?"


    "Smile is worship, Re."


    "I don''t think worship is your intention."


    "What do you mean?" Dino teases his wife.


    "Just think about it. Aren''t you an adult ?" Rere still being curt at her husband even though Ainil has given her a piece of long marriage advice. Rere cleaned the rose petals on the bed and put them in the trash can. After cleaning the bed, she lay down under the blanket. The wedding procession made Rere tired and she wanted to rest.


    Dino also lay beside Rere and started to sleep.


    "Why did you sleep here, mas?" Ree''s eyes widened.


    "Where else should I sleep beside the bed?" Dino said indifferently as he started to lay down under the blanket.


    "But mas, I''m not ready to share the bed with you."


    "Then try to do so from tonight on."


    "But...."


    "I am not a husband from the novel you''ve read who is going to sleep on the sofa to comfort the scared wife who is still awkward because of an arranged marriage."


    "You suck." Rere got up from the bed and settled on the sofa.


    Dino didn''t want to budge and stayed on the bed. The man closed his eyes with a smile.


    Rere was annoyed that Dino didn''t budge when he realizes that Rere slept on the sofa. She thought that Dino would give in because he couldn''t bear to see her sleeping on the sofa. but contrary to her Expectation, the man doesn''t care about her wellbeing. The expectations and reality are completely different.


    Rere''s started to feel her body ache from sleeping on the sofa and going back to the bed. She climbs into bed and sleeps next to Dino after she stacks the bolsters as a barrier between them.


    Dino actually hasn''t slept yet. He was just pretending to be asleep. He laughed at his wife''s antics. Turn out Rere is really a woman with huge pride. Dino is a grown man who knows how to deal with Rere''s childish attitude. Since childhood, his wife was pampered by abundant wealth. Dino wanted to teach his wife to respect him. He wants to teach her without scorn her.


    The next morning, Rere was surprised because she was hugging Dino as she opened her eyes. The barrier bolster has disappeared somewhere. Her head rested on Dino''s chest. The woman screamed and woke Dino up from his sleep.


    "What''s wrong, Re?" Dino rubbed his very sleepy eyes.


    "Why did you hug me?" Rere got goosebumps.


    "Arent you the one who hugs me. You are the one to get on my side destroying your own barrier. Isn''t the bolster roll on your side. It means that you are the one who throws the bolster away so you can hug me."


    "What are you talking about, mas?"


    "Don''t be so mean, Re. If you nagging, I will teach you the other functions of your lips."


    "No," Rere screams while covered her lips with both hands. Afraid that Dino would kiss her again.


    "Why did you look so scared?" Dino looked at the clock on the wall. It was the time for the morning prayer.


    "Are you on your period?"


    "Why do you ask such a question?" Rere looked at him suspiciously. She crossed her arms over her bosom, afraid that Dino would do something perverted.


    "If you are not on your period, let''s pray together."


    "Oooh." Rere was ashamed of herself for accusing Dino of such nonsense. They take turns in doing the ablution.


    Dino leads the prayer. Rere was amazed by her husband because his prayer readings were very fluent. She feels like she hears the voice of Muzammil Hasballah. His voice is very sweet and tender when he reads some short verses. Rere''s mood started to get better. It turns out that her son''s father is a religious man that could be a role model for Leon.


    Dino stretched out his hand so Rere could kiss the back of his hand. But, Rere just stared at her husband''s hand in confusion. Looking at the man''s gaze made her realizing her husband''s intention. Rere kissed her husband''s hand and Dino returned the kiss on Rere''s forehead. Rere feels the tingling that ran through her body when Dino''s pressed his lips on her forehead.


    "Do not be nervous. You have to familiarize yourself from now on. Every time we pray together I will kiss your forehead."


    "Did you also kissed Ananya like this, mas?" The question accidentally slipped from Rere''s lips.


    "Let''s not talk about Ananya. She''s gone now. Just talk about us. For example, where do you want to go for our honeymoon?"


    "There is no honeymoon. I don''t want to go anywhere."


    "If we did not want to go for a honeymoon, when do you want to have a child?" Dino deliberately provoked Rere.


    "We already have Leon so there''s no need for a honeymoon."


    "Leon wants a


    younger sibling."


    "It is just your excuse."


    "It is okay to do that to gain your attention. it is a merit." Dino took off his sarong and cap and put them on the nightstand. "Are you sure you don''t want to go anywhere for our honeymoon?"


    "I am sure. Where can we go during this pandemic? Moreover, we are fasting next week."


    "You are beautiful in your hijab," Dino said straying from the topic.


    "Did you just ask me to wear a hijab?"


    "I''m not asking you, I just want to say that you look beautiful in hijab. It is better if you wear one. If a woman is married, she must keep her aura from other men. Only her husband can see the skin of his wife." Dino was busy with his smartphone, looking at the proposal sent by the secretary. Dino is a workaholic. Even though he just got married, he couldn''t leave his job.


    "Hah?????" Rere gawking at the busy man.


    "I''m wont forced you to wear one. Actually, I could have ordered you to wear a hijab because I am your husband. A wife must obey her husband as long as the husband''s wishes do not contradict the Shari''a. But if you go out with me, I want you to try one. I''m more comfortable that way."


    "Do you want to make me look like Ananya?"


    "Why did you say that?"


    "You tell me to wear a hijab. Is it because Ananya is wearing one?"


    "Why did you think that told you to wear a hijab so you look like Ananya? I never thought so. Both of you are different and I''m not going to compare you. You are both my wife. Don''t talk about Ananya if you''re uncomfortable." Dino was angry because Rere always talked about Ananya. The man left Rere in the room. He felt bitter and hurt because Ananya died unnaturally. After her death, Ananya was blasphemed by prince Ahmed. Dino was relieved that he was able to clear his wife''s name.

 Chapter 55 - New Life

    Rere came out of the bathroom feeling irritated. After Dino kissed her forcefully. The man was just sleeping. Rere was furious that Dino broke their agreement.


    What a liar!!!! He had broken their agreement. Rere looked at Dino annoyed. Rere was furious that Dino had dared to kiss her. She hasn''t kissed in a long time. It feels very different and thrilling. Rere is aware that Dino is her husband but she can''t do physical touch yet. It still takes time to accept the man as her husband.


    Rere got even more annoyed when she saw the lingeries in the closet. The closet is only filled with lingeries and cosplays. Rere knows who did this. She took her phone and called Tia.


    "Why did you call me?" Tia immediately asked before Rere states her intention.


    "You are the one to do this, right?''


    "Do what?"


    "What do you think?"


    "Explain it to me then. I don''t understand what you''re talking about. Why did you start to get angry after spending your wedding night?"


    "Where are my clothes? There''s only lingerie in the closet." Rere sourly looked at various lingerie. She grit her teeth, contain her anger. The cosplay clothes that she sees in the wardrobe are similar to JAV video that always made her stroke her chest.


    "They were great, right? Isn''t that what you need? Aren''t all the newlyweds like to wear lingerie. but it doesn''t matter because you won''t be going to wear that for long." Tia even teases Rere.


    "Nur Fristia Hayati. Don''t make me angry." Rere''s voice started to getting higher for a few octaves. She felt betrayed.


    "Oh my, I am so scared." Tia teased her, try to exaggerate her voice.


    "Bring my clothes to the room, right now!."


    "Lingerie is the right clothes, just wear it in front of your husband. It will be a merit."


    "Tia, don''t provoke my anger. You know the reason I married Mas Dino."


    "Oh my¡­. did you just call him, Mas Dino?" Tia keeps teasing Rere.


    "Is it wrong to call him mas? He is older than me. We have 14 years gap. It''s not polite to call him Dino or you. People will mock me as an impolite wife."


    "Oh my, have you embrace your status as a wife?"


    "Geez. Why did you like to tease me? Just please bring me some clothes. I''m only wearing a kimono towel."


    "It''s okay."


    "Tia," Rere screamed in frustration.


    Tia takes the phone away from her ear. Rere''s screams can hurt her ears. Tia laughed in satisfaction after she managed to tease Rere. The lingeries and JAV cosplay clothes are Dila''s ideas. She doesn''t know why the mother of three had such an idea. Tia was sure if it was Bara''s idea. Dila is not that naughty unless Bara taught her to do so.


    Rere turned around. She was surprised because Dino was standing in front of him with his hands on his hips.


    "Why did you startle me?"


    "You''re making a fuss."


    "How can I keep my calm, mas? Look at this." Rere showed some lingerie and cosplay costumes.


    Dino tried to hold back his laughter so Rere wouldn''t get angrier. Rere''s emotions are explosive and unstable. Dino was sure that this was Bara or Tia''s idea.


    "It is a trivial matter. Why make a fuss?"


    "Trivial?" Rere''s breath hitched when she heard Dino retort. For Rere this is a big matter. Dino could have pounced on him while she is wearing one of the lingerie. Rere realized that Dino was a grown man who was longing for a woman''s touch. Men are like cats. They will eat if someone gives them salted fish.


    "Yes." Dino even nodded. He wanted to provoke Rere''s reaction.


    "You perverted man."


    "Me? a pervert man?" Dino pointed at himself.


    "You were happy to see my sexy looks, right?"


    "Every husband will be happy to see their wives look sexy," Dino answered carelessly. The man looking at Rere lazily from head to toe. Somehow Dino''s mind drifted. He was sure that behind the towel Rere had not to wear anything. Dino erases the thought of making Rere his fantasy. The kiss gives him a tremendous effect.


    "What a flirt."


    "I am wrong again?"


    "You are. Why is everything look like this?"


    "Look like how? Can you explain it?"


    "Whatever, I''m too tired to fight."


    "I''m not asking you to make a fuss. You''re the one who''s angry for no reason."


    "How can I not be angry? My only clothes are lingeries and this goddamn shirt, mas," Rere hysterically threw the clothes on the floor. She feels that the veins on her neck tightened from screaming.


    "Stop shouting. People will make the wrong assumption about us."


    "Why?"


    "They will suspect that we are making out and say that I''m a sucker for not being able to do it slowly."


    "Mas." Rere was annoyed and then pinched Dino''s strong arm.


    "It hurts Ree. You are too rude for a girl."


    "You are annoying."


    "No, I am not, You are! Stop making a fuss." Dino stops talking, not wanting to continue their debate. "Just wear my clothes. I have decent clothes, that can cover your skin, unlike that lingerie." Dino opened the wardrobe and gave a set of clothes to Rere.


    Rere was silent as Dino handed her his clothes. The woman didn''t even take the clothes from Dino''s hands. She felt like she will lose her pride if she wears Dino''s clothes. People say that if a woman wears a man''s clothes, the woman will love the man. Rere believes such a myth that she doesn''t want to wear Dino''s clothes.


    "It''s okay If you don''t want to use it. Just wear your lingerie. Don''t blame me if in the middle of the night I eat you like a cat eats salted fish." Dino gave an ultimatum.


    Rere snatched the clothes from Dino''s hands. Dino''s threat made her shudder. The woman rushed to the bathroom to change her clothes.


    The room was pitch black when Rere came out of the bathroom. She was sure that it was Dino who turned off the light. Rere was annoyed because Dino was already sleeping on the bed. If Dino had slept first, where she Re sleep?


    Rere turned on the light. Dino suddenly woke up. The man cannot sleep if the light is on.


    "Why Re?" Dino rubbed his eyes.


    "Why did you sleep earlier?"


    Dino scratched his head, "The did you want to sleep together then?."


    "Stop dreaming."


    "Then?"


    "If you sleep in the bed. Where should I sleep?"


    "The bed is big. We can share."


    "I don''t want to sleep with you, Mas."


    "Why?"


    "I''m afraid you''ll eat me."


    "What kind of eating are you refer to?" Dino teases Rere. He doesn''t know why but he feels that Rere is so cute when she is angry.


    "Don''t pretend to be innocent. You''re an adult, right?"


    "What are you talking about?"


    "Don''t act stupid."


    "I''m not pretending. Maybe I''m really an idiot."


    "Don''t make me angry, mas."


    "Do not be angry. You will have high blood pressure."


    "Did you just curse me to be sick?"


    "So, I was wrong again," Dino said as he turned his face away. He is always wrong in front of Rere.


    "You always say the wrong thing, mas."


    "Yeah, I''m sorry if I made you angry." Dino chose to give in. He would never win whenever he bickers with women. That''s the power of a mother. You will be dead if you resist!


    "I take the bed and you sleep on the sofa."


    "Sorry, I don''t want to." Dino put on a sweet smile and started to lay on the bed.


    "I know you want to flirt with me by sleep in the same bed with me."


    "Why are you so confident? Flirt? Why should I? We are husband and wife. If I want to, I can ask for my rights as a husband. Like it or not, I can ''MAKE LOVE'' to you." Dino emphasized the words  ''MAKE LOVE''.


    "Stop messing around, Mas. Remember our new law. A husband can go to jail if he forces his wife to have sex."


    "It doesn''t matter. I am a Malaysian citizen, not Indonesian." Dino even stuck out his tongue.


    "Ugh..." Rere was annoyed that Dino was able to counter ger threat easily. She stomped her foot on the floor in annoyance.


    "Why are you angry?" Dino smiled. The man started to tease Rere.


    Seeing the man smile made Rere''s anger reach another level. Rere was afraid that Dino''s smile would make her diabetic. Rere realized that her husband was very handsome and charming. Although he was a 39 years old man, the man looks like she just 29 years old.


    "My smile is very sweet, right?"


    "you are so arrogant."


    Rere was forced to sleep next to Dino. They made a wall using the pillows. Their pillows are stacked very high. Until they couldn''t see each other before Dino turned off the light.

 Chapter 56 - Naughty Husband

    In the middle of the night, Rere woke up from her sleep because she needed to pee. When she saw Dino sleeping soundly, Rere felt a wave of relief because Dino didn''t force her to make love to him..


    Rere looked at Dino from afar. For some reason, she felt safe when she saw the man sleeping face.


    When she came out of the bathroom, Rere was shocked because she found Dino standing in front of her while holding handcuffs. Rere was in shock when Dino cuffed her hands before pulling her to the bed. Rere''s eyes widened in surprise as Dino started to tie her to the bed.


    "What are you doing, No?" Rere screamed hysterically. She felt like she was Anastasia Steel in Fifty Shades Of Grey. Rere was disgusted as she remembers that Christian Gray likes to fantasize about using handcuffs when making love.


    Before Rere''s screams wake people in the nearest room, Dino stuffed Rere''s mouth with a cloth. Rere''s scream was muffled. No matter how loud she wants to scream, no one will hear her voice. Rere almost cried but she kept her dignity. She won''t be afraid. If she is afraid, Dino''s action will be braver.


    Dino stroked Rere''s cheek gently. The man''s touch made Rere shudder. Rere feels goosebumps all over her body. It turns out that the man is not as good as Dila said.


    "You''re beautiful when you''re angry. Your beauty shines when you are in rage and I like it." Dino said as he inhaled the scent of Rere''s hair.


    The woman shook her head not wanting to be touched by Dino. Rere kicked him hard and made him fall down when the man was careless.


    "It turned out that you are a very wild woman. I like such a rebellious woman." Dino approached Rere and licked his wife''s cheek.


    Dino smiled. He slipped his fingers between Rere''s hair and ears then stroked Rere''s smooth cheek.


    "I am happy to marry you. I feel like I am going back to my youth by marrying a kid like you."


    "I''m not a kid." Rere tried to talk but her voice was not clear because her mouth was gagged.


    Dino laughed in amusement seeing Rere''s pitiful state. But in the end, the man feels sorry as he released the gag from Rere''s mouth.


    "You Bast..."


    Before Rere could finish her sentence, Dino''s lips started to crush Rere''s lips with a demanding kiss. The man even held Rere''s neck so he could deepen the kiss. Dino stuck his tongue in Rere''s mouth. He wanted to intertwine their tongues. Dino''s kiss grew hot and demanding as Rere tried to push the man away. The man didn''t give Rere a chance to move. He managed to make Rere powerless with his kiss.


    Annoyed that Dino fondled her harshly. Rere bit Dino''s lip until it bled.


    "Ah..." Dino screamed, breaking their kiss. The man looked in the mirror as he saw the blood on his lips. "Why are you biting my lip?"


    "You do deserve it. You just kiss me without my consent, you bastard." Rere cursed Dino. The man treated her harshly like she was a cheap woman.


    "What did you say?" Dino is furious. The man turned around and grabbed Rere''s chin. He looks at Rere''s face closely. "Then, I will make you a bastard''s wife tonight."


    "Don''t be crazy. Don''t you remember our agreement?"


    "I forgot it. But, where is the written agreement? Can a spoken agreement be called an agreement? There is no authentic evidence so I can deny that I ever made that kind of agreement with you."


    "I didn''t expect you to be this cunning. I''m regretting my past decision to help you."


    "There''s nothing to be sorry for. Everything has happened, kid."


    "Don''t call me kid." Rere doesn''t like the way Dino called her.


    "I like to call you kid. Although you are still a kid, you have given me a child. We should have given Leon a younger sibling."


    "Don''t touch me! Don''t you dare!" Rere threatens Dino. "If you touch me even just a little I will kill you."


    "Wow, I''m scared." Dino smiles cutely, mocking Rere. The man liked Rere''s courage even more.


    Rere looks sexy as she is squirming on the bed with her hands tied with the handcuffs. It''s a very beautiful sight.


    "Want me to teach you some manners, honey?" Dino approached Rere and grabbed the buttons of her pajamas. The man intended to unbutton Rere''s pajamas one by one. He seems eager to hold his wife''s small body. He wants to hear Rere moan and scream as they spend the passionate night.


    "Let me go!!"


    "I won''t let you go before..."


    "Before what?"


    "I want to see you move erotically in front of me."


    "Do you think I''m a whore? I do not want to!" Rere shouted loudly.


    "A wife must be a prostitute for her husband so the husband does not turn to other women."


    "Do you think I want to be your wife?"


    "I never forced you to be one, dear." Dino patted Rere''s cheek gently.


    "¡­.." Rere was at a loss for words after hearing Dino''s words.


    "Did the cat get your tongue?"


    Rere tried to free her hands from the handcuffs. No matter how hard she tried, instead of breaking away, she starts to feel pain from her hand.


    "Honey, you need to serve your husband. That''s your duty as a wife." Dino whispered to Rere who turned her face to the side.


    Rere was disgusted as she looked at Dino''s face. She really cannot trust this Bastard.


    "I don''t want to. I''d rather die than serve you."


    "Then be a wild horse. I''ll fuck you until you die of exhaustion."


    "You are crazy."


    Dino burst out laughing. His laughter sounded scary in Rere''s ears as she started to get another goosebump. Dino is scarier than the ghost he saw in the horror movie.


    "You''re getting naughty, baby." Dino stroked Rere''s smooth thighs. Rere''s pajama pants were short so that her thighs were exposed.


    Rere couldn''t hold back her anger. The pile-up emotions that she felt from Dino''s treatment started to make her tired. She feels humiliated and betrayed.


    She was disappointed at the man she called her husband. Dino is unbelievable. She should have made a written agreement. If the man doesn''t keep his promise, Rere can sue him legally. Regret always comes at the end.


    "Come on, dear. Serve me." Dino starts to take off his t-shirt.


    Rere clearly saw a six-pack body. The man is sexy and seductive. Rere suddenly feels like drooling at her husband''s great body.


    "Serve me." Dino brought Rere''s hand to his chest.


    "Not!!!!!" Rere shook her head before she shouted as loud as she can.


    "Rere wake up!" Dino shaking Rere''s shoulder softly. The man was startled at his wife''s screams. The pillow Rere''s put in the middle of them had fallen to the floor. She is sleeping while hugging Dino''s body as her head rests against his chest.


    Rere was awoken as she realized that she hugged Dino. Shock by the realization, she moved away from Dino and started to rub the place where she and Dino''s body touch. She treats Dino as if he was a dangerous germ.


    "What is wrong with you? Why are you screaming in your sleep?" Dino got up and approached Rere.


    "Do not come closer!"


    Dino stopped and stood still while looking at Rere in bewilderment. His shocked expression was hilarious.


    "So it was just a dream." Rere patted her cheek and pinched her hand before she screamed loudly. "Right. It was just a dream. Oh my. How can I dream of such a thing?" Rere spoke quietly.


    "What are you dreaming about?" Dino smiled at his little wife''s funny behavior.


    "Nothing." Rere avoided Dino''s question. She was really embarrassed and mortified to tell Dino about her dream of being Anastasia Steel and Dino as Christian Grey.


    "Did you just dream about our wedding night?" Dino starts to tease Rere. He gave a sweet smile even though Rere said she didn''t like to see his smile.


    "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"


    "Do you want me to teach you another function of your lips?"


    "Do you want me to kick your little brother down there?"


    Dino spontaneously covers his crotch with his hands, afraid that Rere would really kick him there. How could she think of kicking his one and only heirloom?


    "Dino." Rere is getting confused at seeing Dino''s behavior. When she noticed that something was bulging in his pants, Rere quickly ran to the bathroom to calm herself.


    Rere washed her face. She tried to get rid of her dirty thoughts. Didn''t expect to see something swelling from Dino''s pants. What she saw affected her brain.


    Rere was a normal woman and could be tempted by the sight. Even though her heart refused, her body reacted differently.


    Rere is determined not to be charmed and falls in love with Dino. She had to hate him for hurting her. Rere vowed to continue hating Dino for hurting his heart.

 Chapter 57 - Washing Hair

    POV Rere


    Crazy! This is really crazy. What did I dream of such an embarrassing scene? Why do I become paranoid? God¡­ because I am too scared that Dino would touch me last night, I even dream of that erotic dream.


    It was so embarrassing and I would never admit it. How could I tell him that he forced me to make love in my dream? How could I be so stupid? My mind is so messed up. I''m so paranoid. This is how it is when something is forced. I''m only 24 years old and will turn 25 in a few months. I married a man who was 14 years older than me. Even though his face is younger than his age, our feelings can''t be forced.


    Rere cursed at herself under the shower. She could not even feel the cold water because she was thinking about a lot of embarrassing things now.


    It''s not even a week since we shared the same room and my brain had started to think about that lewd dream. I must be too scared to dream such an erotic dream. In the dream, Dino broke his own word and almost made love to me forcefully. I''m afraid if he asks for his rights as a husband. I''m not ready to do it yet. I can accept Hanin, Dino''s child from his first wife. Hanin is very adorable and funny. Hanin can also help me raise Leon. The child is very beautiful just like her mother. I can only imagine myself as her sister, not her stepmother.


    Have I made the right decision to marry Dino? I understand that Bara is worried about Leon''s future. He''s a good uncle. Even though I''m only his stepsister and Leon is not his biological nephew, Bara loves us very much. If mom and dad did not marry, maybe Leon and I would be on the streets.


    I need to shower quickly. Although I am taking a cold shower, I can feel my body getting hot from my dirty brain. I need to sing under the shower to relieve my nervousness. I won''t be going for a damn honeymoon. I do not want it. Being alone with Dino makes me nervous and scared. What if he asked me to serve him as a wife?


    Taking a bath really makes me feel great, I feel fresh. Bara is really smart in choosing this location for the wedding. I''m sure he won''t miss the chance to go on another honeymoon with Dila. I know how much Bara loves Dila and is very crazy about his wife. He can be a fool in front of his wife.


    What is he doing standing in front of the balcony? He seems to look at something? I wonder what kind of interesting thing he saw.


    Whatever, I need to contact Tia and ask her to bring me some clothes. How could I wear those ''cursed'' clothes?


    "Tia," I called the woman''s name as soon as the call connected.


    "Hey, newlyweds. How are you? How is it? Is it fun? Is he taking it slowly?"


    "What do you mean? Slow what?" I really don''t want to hear Tia''s dirty talk. Why is she talking about that?


    "Stop pretending to be innocent. You know what I mean."


    "Is that important?"


    "Actually, it doesn''t really matter. I just want to find as much reference I can find for my marriage with Daniel so I won''t be too scared on my wedding night later." Tia said as she whispered on the phone. Maybe Tia doesn''t want other people to hear her words.


    "Why don''t you watch a movie for your reference?" Tia''s unreasonable reason started to make me angry. Why is Tia''s being so annoying lately? She always teases me whenever she has a chance.


    "The movie is not real, Rere. It''s been through the editing process. So it can''t be used as a reference."


    "What nonsense are you talking about! Just bring some clothes for me."


    "Just wear the lingerie. You must really like it and make your husband happy."


    "Are you crazy? I want to have breakfast. How could I wear that damn clothes? I can''t even wear that in front of Dino, how could I be so shameless to wear that for breakfast?"


    "What are you going to wear then?" Tia sounds confused regarding my answer. Tia seems to be curious about my wedding night.


    "I am naked, girl! Are you Satisfied?" I finally snapped.


    "Exactly. In front of your husband, you don''t have to wear any clothes. Why do you need to wear one?" Tia giggled. It seems like teasing me is a lot of fun for her.


    "Hurry up and bring me some clothes."


    "Okay."


    A few minutes later someone rang the bell. I rushed to open the door and Glad to see Tia came with clothes for me.


    "The new wife truly has a very different aura. Where''s Mr. Dino?" Tia tries to peek inside but I stop her.


    "What are you trying to find?"


    "Where''s your husband?"


    "Why are you looking for my husband?"


    "Is someone jealous?" Tia keeps making fun of me.


    Lately, that kid really likes to tease me. If I don''t regard the girl as my best friend, maybe I would''ve pinched Tia and thrown her into the swamp.


    "Where''re my clothes?"


    Tia gave me a set of floral dresses.


    "Thank you," I quickly closed the door after showing my gratitude. I can feel Tia''s curiosity about my relationship with Dino.


    I immediately went to the bathroom and put on the clothes. I actually didn''t dry my hair intentionally so my family wouldn''t suspect anything. If my hair was wet, they would think that Dino and I had done our duty as husband and wife. She wants them to think so. I don''t want to be scolded by my mother if I don''t become a good wife for Dino.


    I rubbed my chest as I came out of the bathroom. I can see Dino standing in front of the door.


    "You surprised me." I said as I started to nag my husband. Eh... did I just think of Dino as my husband.


    "Do you have a history of heart disease?" Dino asked lightly.


    Why did I feel annoyed when he said it? Dino seemed to be teasing me. If I did not regard him as the father of my child, I might have slapped him on the forehead even though he is older than me.


    "No. Why do you ask?" My voice sounds a little annoyed that he started to talk about heart


    problems.


    "It looks like you are easily startled. That''s why I asked. If you really have a history of heart problems, I want to take you to the doctor."


    "Do you want me to get sick?" Suddenly I couldn''t control my emotions.


    Dino stroked my head like a child, "Kid, why did you always get angry? Being angry could make you have high blood pressure. Later it developed to start diseases."


    "Don''t call me kid. I do not like it."


    "So, do you want me to call you a mother of two?"


    "It is better. I am a mother, a young mother." I waved my hand proudly. No one believes that I''ve ever given birth because of my great shape and my baby face.


    Stop objecting! That is the truth.


    "As a good young mother. It would be best to stop watching a lot of drama. Children need attention. It is bad if the children spend more time with a babysitter than their mother. You need to take care of them by yourself."


    I''m too tired to argue with Dino. I walked away from the man and sat on the balcony. The man followed me.


    "Rere, we need to talk," the man said quietly.


    The man looks at me with a smile. I don''t know why but his smile calms me down. Calm me down? No!! You need to wake up, Rere! Why am I even fascinated by Dino? Is it because of last night''s dream? That man raped me in my dream. What''s wrong with my brain?


    "What do you want to talk about?"


    "Sit down first." Dino patted the chair next to him. The man asked me to sit beside him.


    I hesitated to sit next to him. I don''t know why but I''m not ready to be close to him. He started to ask me to sit down with body language. I did what he wanted.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "As a wife, you need to talk sweetly and softly to your husband." Dino smiled at me.  I hate him when he smiles.


    I don''t know why but I am tired of seeing the man''s sweet smile. His smile changes my world. But I can''t give up. I have to stick with my stance. I''m still hurt by his humiliation that night. Even though the man had apologized, there was still something that stuck in my heart.

 Chapter 58 - Dinos Request

    "Sit down!" Dino asked me to sit down for the second time. "I will not eat you. At least I didn''t do what you dreamed of."


    My eyes widened in shock, "Do you know what dream I was dreaming of?" I was suddenly embarrassed.


    WTF! Dino knew about my dream last night. Oh, where should I put my face? I fail before I can even act arrogantly.


    Dino started to laugh as he stared at me, "Of course I know, you were screaming things like ''Don''t touch me, Dino''" Dino even imitated my speaking style.


    "What??????" my body froze.


    Oh, This is so embarrassing! I looked down, not daring to look at Dino. I was ashamed because the man knew what kind of bad dream I dreamt of last night. He rapes me in my dream.


    I held back my pride and sat next to Dino.


    "What do you want to talk about, No?" I''m trying to make my voice sound sweeter. Just can''t fall for my sweet voice.


    "Rere. We are husband and wife. I have a child from my previous marriage."


    "So?"


    "Listen to me first."


    "Hmmmm."


    "So, I''ve been living in KL all this time."


    I suddenly realize the direction of Dino''s conversation.


    "I can''t move to KL yet, No. I need time to adapt to this marriage."


    "I can''t stay here, Re. I work in KL. My company is there. You have to go there and live with me. You can adapt there. I won''t let Hanin and Leon live apart. I want to bring my two children closer."


    "What if Hanin is the one who moved here? I can take care of both. Take it easy. I will be a good mother for them. I will love Hanin like Leon."


    "But¡­.."


    "Please¡­This is my first request as your wife. I can''t move to KL yet. I still need time to accept your status, my status. Everything is still too shocking for me."


    Dino exhaled roughly. I don''t think he will agree to my request. I still can''t accept my marriage to him. Even though I won''t go back to Angga, I am still reluctant about my marriage with Dino. Let''s just blame Bara for forcing me into this marriage.


    "I know it''s not easy for you to accept this marriage. You only knew me as your boss during your apprenticeship then you saved my life from prince Ahmed. Thank you for helping me even though in the end I ruined your future by impregnating you out of wedlock."


    "Let''s never talk about it again. I have never regretted Leon''s birth. The child knows nothing. He''s never wrong. What we did was wrong."


    "I made it difficult for you. People insult you because of me."


    "Forget it. Don''t talk about it anymore. I''m immune to people''s insults."


    "If only I knew you were pregnant. I will not run, Re. I will take responsibility for my actions."


    "I only have a question."


    "What is it?"


    "Did you really want to marry me or did bara ask you to marry me?"


    "I want to marry you," Dino answered firmly.


    I can see the truth in his eyes as he said that.


    "Why are you so sure about marrying me? Without marrying each other we can take care of Leon together. I won''t stop you from seeing Leon." I insist.


    "I want to take responsibility for my actions. I want to bring my two children closer. I have robbed your virginity. I have sinned you. That morning, I made a mistake by slandering you. I have done a lot of bad things to you. If only that night you didn''t take me away. That damn prince must have managed to destroy my life." Dino''s hands clenched tightly. His eyes gleamed like an eagle.


    "I feel like I am cursed every time I help people. Looks like I''m not allowed to do good things. I almost got killed in KL. I saved Gesa that night. That night was the beginning of all the disaster in my life. We were terrorized and harassed. Tia and I once went into the forest to hide from Prince Ahmed''s men."


    "Maybe this is God''s way of bringing us together, Rere?"


    "What do you mean, Dino? Did you mean that Ananya was destined to die so I can take her place? What nonsense."


    "That is not what I mean, Re. You are an angel sent by God to be my life companion."


    "Stop imagining things! I married you only for Leon''s sake. That''s it. I only want to give him legal status. I don''t love you."


    "Not now, but I will make you fall in love with me."


    "You''re too confident."


    "I have to be confident. Love comes from little things, Re."


    "Can we talk about another topic, No?" My ears heat up when Dino discusses matters of love. I would''ve never expected love. The main focus in my life is only Leon. I should make sure the child grows up healthy. It never crossed my mind to love a man.


    "Why did you hate this kind of discussion? Marriage will last a lifetime, not just for one day. If I marry you, then I will make you the queen of my heart."


    "Do you love me?" I challenged Dino. I want to see how he reacts. Did he do this just for the sake of responsibility or did he love me?


    Dino was silent. He was looking at the misty mountain scenery. The hotel room we stayed in had a mountain and lake view. This place is so cold. Maybe the real bride and groom would spend time in the room warming each other up. This condition is very different from us who married for the sake of children.


    "I don''t love you yet, but I will learn to love you. I never back off from my decisions. I have carefully thought about marrying you. This is not a fleeting emotion."


    "If I don''t love you, then what?" I said the word to him arrogantly. I wanted to make Dino uncomfortable, annoyed, and then divorced me. What am I thinking of? We just got married last night and I''m already thinking about divorce. Great!


    "I will make you fall in love with me." Dino smiled again.


    I don''t want to see that smile. I could be diabetic seeing his smile.


    Dino approached me and grabbed my waist. I tried to free myself but he held my waist tightly. Our eyes stared at each other. Our bodies close together. I can feel Dino''s breath. My heart beats faster. I don''t even know what I feel right now. God, please calm my heart. That guy is really great at making me nervous. He managed to agitate my heart. His presence was very unsettling. Even though he is a widower, his charm beats that of a single man. Ouch, how could I think that way?


    " Let me go, Dino." I hit Dino''s sturdy arm. I know he likes to work out so he has strong hands.


    "What if I don''t want to?"


    "Let me go."


    "I will make you fall in love with me. You will fall in love with this handsome widower."


    I just laughed. Dino was too confident.


    "Don''t laugh. If you fall in love with me. I will make sure you don''t want to be separated from me even for a second. I''ll make you follow me everywhere." Dino whispered in my ear. His breath gave me goosebumps. I tried to free myself from Dino but the man hugged me even tighter.


    God, please help me!


    I can''t stand being close to Dino. Just being the man''s wife had made me nervous.


    "Get used to my touch from now on. I''m not the CEO in the movie. The one who only stays silent when marrying a woman who doesn''t love him. Get used to a morning kiss." Dino said as he kissed my lips.


    It was a simple soft kiss. I''m about to faint at this moment. I couldn''t help but freeze at the man''s constant attack on my heart.


    "This is just a morning kiss. Prepare yourself for another attack. I''m a normal man and I haven''t touched women for almost three years," Dino said as he left me.


    I sat on the floor touching my lips. He kissed me twice just a day after our marriage.


    Dino IS ANNOYING!!!!


    Dino is an asshole. He''s always looking for opportunities to touch me. I will never be tempted by him. After all, he''s still the guy I hate. He has ruined my life. I regret ever meeting him. I have never regretted Leon''s birth. I only regret our meeting. Why did fate bring us together? Seeing his face just makes me bleed. The man was very annoying. I cursed that damn man. I''m not lucky. I always have bad luck when I''m with him. I don''t want to spend the rest of my life with him. He''s a nightmare for me.

 Chapter 59 - Approaching Hanin

    Rere stomped her foot on the floor. Dino stole one more kiss from her. After doing so, the man went to take a shower.


    Rere goes to the restaurant first. her stomach growling asking to be filled. Last night because of exhaustion Rere did not eat at all. Dino''s actions just now made Rere even more hungry. The kiss drained all her energy.


    She walks alone. Unbeknownst to Rere, Bara followed her from behind. The man had been watching Rere secretly since she left the room.


    "Why do you seem cranky?"  Bara''s greeting woke Rere from her daydreaming.


    "Brother." Rere turned around before she walked beside her brother and took Bara''s hand.


    "You should''ve touched your husband''s hand, not mine."


    Rere annoyedly let go of her brother''s hand.


    "Isn''t it good to be a newlywed? You wash your hair in the morning. How many rounds did you last?" Bara teases his sister.


    "What the hell? Pervert!" Rere pouted her lips.


    "Perverted? It''s normal talk for married women." Bara hinted at a sex scene with his finger.


    "Stop!" Rere raises her hand as she tries to erase her lewd thought.


    "Why?"


    "Don''t talk about this with me. Where''s Leon?"


    "Leon is with Dila. They are having breakfast at the restaurant."


    Bara and Rere walked together to the restaurant. Rere already misses her child although they have just separated for a night.


    "Leon, My son." Rere hugged Leon warmly. She picked up the child and spin him around.


    Rere was playing with Leon but she stopped when she saw Hanin staring at her blankly. Dila stroked Hanin''s hair, understanding what the 6-year-old girl was going through. Dila glanced at Rere.


    Rere lowered Leon from his arms and hugged Hanin.


    "Hey beautiful," Rere greeted her stepdaughter. She touched the girl''s cheek. She is a pitiful girl. When she was young, she lost her mother. "Starting from today, I am your mother, dear. I will love you like my own child."


    Dila was touched by the interaction between Rere and Hanin. Even though the girl is still young, Rere is an adult. She could accept Hanin''s existence even though she didn''t accept Dino.


    Hanin took a step back when Rere approached the girl. Rere was saddened by the girl''s reaction. Her face changed to see her stepdaughter''s reaction.


    "What''s wrong, dear?" Rere asked the little girl.


    "Hanin friends say that a stepmother would only love father and her child. Stepmother never likes stepchildren," Hanin said timidly.


    Dila and Rere were shocked to hear Hanin''s words. Dila approached Hanin and picked the little girl up.


    "Hanin dear, Mommy Rere is not like what your friends say. Mommy will love you like me. You will be fine, dear. Mommy Rere will be your guardian angel. Isn''t it, Mommy?" Dila looked at Rere.


    Rere approached Hanin as she handed Leon to Dila.


    "Do you want to talk to mommy?" Rere familiarizes herself to be called ''Mommy'' in front of Hanin. The child is very beautiful and adorable. Rere easily falls in love with Hanin. The child is obedient and quiet.


    Hanin still didn''t dare to get close to Rere. His classmates'' words were still stuck in her memory. Hanin didn''t want to be hit like a stepdaughter in a movie.


    "Believe me, dear. Mommy will never hurt you. From now on you are also mommy''s child. Hanin and Leon are brother and sister. Mommy will love you like mommy loves Leon. Mommy promises to be a good mom to you. I will try to be your mother and you will try to accept me as a mother." Rere stroked Hanin''s cheek then smoothed her hair.


    "Did mommy really want to love me? Did you promise not to pinch and hit me?"


    "I promise, dear." Rere nodded and smiled.


    Hanin still has doubts. The little girl looked at Dila with a doubt. After all, Hanin was comfortable with Dila because she was the one who raised her after her mother died.


    "Mommy Rere will love you, dear. It is okay. Believe in Mama, right?" Dila convinced Hanin.


    The little girl smiled as she approached Rere and hugged her tightly. Rere was touched that the child could accept her as a mother.


    Dila was relieved to see Rere''s sincere feeling for Hanin. It never crosses Dila''s mind that Rere would refuse Hanin''s existence. For now, maybe Rere can''t accept Dino, but Dila knows that Rere would accept the kid in her life.


    "Let''s eat with Mommy and Leon," Rere took Hanin to the dining table. "Do you want Mommy to feed you like Leon?"


    Hani nodded. Rere kissed the girl''s forehead. When Rere looked at Hanin''s beautiful face, she felt a sudden wave of sadness.


    Bara and Dila are relieved that Rere has won Hanin''s heart. At least their worry has subsided. Rere would treat Hanin like her own daughter. Bara realizes that Rere is still unstable and has a lot to learn as a wife and mother. Bara remembers that Rere and Dino''s marriage was forced. If he didn''t force Rere this marriage would not happen.


    Bara is sure that one day Dino and Rere will love each other. Bara has proven it himself. When he married Dila, he didn''t like Dila at all because Bara was gay and had a boyfriend, but Dila was able to change him. Dila managed to win his heart and make him leave his boyfriend.


    Dino was relieved to see Hanin and Rere''s interaction. Dino smiled at his wife and two children.


    "I promise to be a good family head for the three of you. We will be a happy family." Dino muttered.


    "Stop talking to yourself like a madman." Bara suddenly appeared in front of Dino.


    Dino was shocked by Bara''s sudden appearance. He stroked his chest to calm himself. "You really surprised me."


    "What are you looking at?"


    "My family." Dino pointed at where Rere, Hanin, and Leon sat.


    "Are you happy?"


    "Of course, I am."


    "This is not the end, Dino. This is the beginning of your relationship. I know that Rere hasn''t accepted you as a husband. I hope that you can be patient with her. Rere just needs time. A grown man like you must know how to win Rere''s heart. I don''t have any doubt that you would win her heart, but I want you to keep this in your mind. Please be patient with Rere''s childlike behavior. She used to hide her feelings all the time. She is stubborn and prideful. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth makes her spoiled and selfish."


    "She''s not a selfish person, Bar."


    "It is just day one and you''ve defended her like this." Bara mocked his brother-in-law.


    "If she was selfish, she probably wouldn''t risk her life to help Gesa that night. If she was selfish, Leon surely would not have been born into this world. She would also ignore me when I was about to be framed and abort my child if she was selfish, bar."


    "One thing you should know. Rere always tries to help others, trying to make other people happy."


    "I think I''m starting to understand her attitude little by little. I still have a lot to learn to understand her. It''s not easy getting married by force, bar."


    "Never hurt Rere. If you do, you will face me." Bara gives a warning.


    "I would never do that, bar. Rere has a bodyguard that will rush to her side to protect her. I''m really grateful to have a brother-in-law like you. The bond between you and Rere is more than siblings," said Dino, patting Bara''s shoulder.


    "Bar, I know you''re the first to kill me if i hurt Rere."


    "You know that. So be nice."


    "Are you jealous of me?"


    "Jealous?"


    "You are jealous of me because in the past I liked Dila."


    Bara suddenly coughed. His actions could be read by Dino. The man took a glass of water. Bara dared not look at Dino. He turned his gaze forward. They didn''t speak for a long time. There is only silence.


    Dino was not as innocent as his mind.


    "Why are you silent? Am I telling the truth?"


    "Don''t be crazy you. How can I be jealous of you. You and Dila are just cousins. You guessed wrong." Bara tapped Dino''s shoulder. He pretended to smile even though he was worried.


    "Never mind Bar. Don''t pretend. I know if you''re jealous. I know you love Dila very much. You''re afraid to lose Dila. Don''t worry. I already have a wife and I can''t interfere with your wife.


    "Can I keep your word?"


    "You can trust me. I never break a promise."


    "Promise you will protect and love Rere. Love her like you loved your late wife."


    "Sure. Don''t doubt me. I will protect Rere. She is my wife now. I will be responsible for her life. Trust her to me."


    "It''s not just Rere. You have to take care of Leon too."


    "Of course. Leon my son."


    After that, both entered the restaurant and had breakfast with the others.

 Chapter 60 - Teasing The Newlyweds

    All the family walked around the resort after they had their breakfast. Bara and Dila are very good at finding a wedding reception venue. The resort is very good for the newlyweds. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the view is beautiful. They deliberately chose this place to make Dino and Rere comfortable so they can get close to each other.


    They also invite some of their close friends, provide rooms for guests, and even take a vacation at this resort.


    All gathered in the park while looking at the natural scenery. The flowers are blooming which accentuates the beauty of that place. There are Demir and his wife, Dee, Dian, and Zico.


    Demir is a doctor who treats Bara while the man is sick and loses his memory. Bara also invited Uty and her husband, Rizki. Uty is an obstetrician who helped Leon''s birth.


    There is also the sensational couple Raline and Kevan. Raline is the triplet''s doctor (Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa). Raline is a pediatrician. Kevan is Bara''s business partner and is the CEO of an advertising company. Bara often uses the services of Kevan''s company. Previously, the man was a playboy but since he married Raline, he turned into a loyal man even though they did not love each other in the early phase of their marriage.


    It turned out, the world is a small place because Dino knows Bara''s friends and business partners. Dino has been working together with Kevan. Dino also owns an ad company based in KL and Dino''s company once collaborated with Kevan''s company.


    "Wow. It turns out you''re Bara''s business partner too." Dino is very happy to meet Kevan.


    "I never thought that you would be Bara''s brother-in-law. It''s great that a widower like you mary a young woman like Rere. 14 years difference will keep you stay you young." Kevan even teases Dino.


    "Having a young wife is the recipe for youth for mature men like us." Demir chimed in while embracing his wife affectionately. Demir and Dee are apart by 11 years in age.


    "Amen. I hope I will look like a 25-year-old guy so I can match Rere''s beauty." Dino glanced at Rere. The man looked at his wife, who looked down in embarrassment.


    "The look in your eyes is captivating." Kevan sings teasing Dino.


    "Oh, your smile is so enchanting." Demir joined in with the next lyrics that Kevan sang.


    "You tempt me with your smile." Rizki sings along. They conspire to tease Dino and Rere.


    "Actually, I really want to approach you, start our romance. But unfortunately, I am too shy." Bara finished the song that his friends sang.


    "What the hell are you guys doing?" Dino burst out laughing. The man clutched his stomach which hurt from laughing.


    After laughing, Dino continued to say, "Thank you guys, for coming to my and Rere''s wedding party." Dino embraced Rere. Even though there was a refusal at the beginning, after Dino gave a signal through his eyes, the woman surrendered and let Dino''s hand touch her arm.


    Rere also smiled like Dino. She acted as if they were a loving couple. Isn''t Rere a drama queen?


    "Thank you doctor Demir and Dee. Doctors Rizki and Uty, especially doctor Uty who help our son, Leon''s birth, thank you very much. Dian and Zico, I thank you for protecting Rere all this time. Kevan and Raline, thank you for sparing some of your time to come to our wedding and vacation together."


    "By the way, aren''t we interrupting your honeymoon?" Rizki glanced at Uty. The man teased Dino. "Don''t the newlyweds usually only want to stay in their room?"


    "Not at all." Rere swiftly answer. Rere really enjoys having a vacation together because her time with Dino alone will be reduced. Rere didn''t want the man to seduce her all the time. Dino could have taken his rights as a husband. Let alone have sex as husband and wife, rere did not even want Dino to kiss her.


    "Not at all? What do you mean, re? Why do you become so ambiguous?" Uty even teases Rere.


    Rere''s face turned red with embarrassment. How could Uty even tease her?


    After a while, they start to split into men and women groups. The men went fishing in the lake and had a fishing competition. While the women were busy cooking while making a cooking demo. Dian and Dila have prepared everything.


    "How is it being a new bride, re? Was the wedding night good?" Dian teased Rere while making spring roll dough.


    Rere, who was passionate about cooking, stopped her activities. Dian is very open to the point she never makes small talk.


    "At a glance, Mr. Dino is kind, considerate, and mature." Uty glanced at Dian and Dila. They seemed to be plotting something on Rere.


    "You are very kind to be so concerned toward Rere, doctor," Tia spoke up. Even though she was the only maiden in the group, she wanted to join the mothers'' conversation.


    "Don''t pretend to be smart, Tia." Rere mocking Tia.


    "Tia, are you really Vinta''s cousin?" Dila looked at Tia. Vinta was her subordinate when she worked at MBC bank.


    "You''re right. I''m Vinta''s cousin. My father and her father is a sibling."


    "Oh, I see."


    "Why did you wash your hair today, re? What were you doing last night?" Dee started to tease Rere again. She nudged Uty''s arm to ask the woman to help her tease Rere.


    "Wow, how come I just realized it? You just married for a day and you wash your hair already? You must be so eager to make love to go to bed directly." Uty talks hyperbole.


    "Stop it" Rere was embarrassed to hear Dee''s vulgar remarks.


    "Looks like last night was really exciting for you and Dino. I saw them alone on the balcony." Dian smiled mysteriously.


    "Did you see us?" Even Rere was surprised. She did not expect Dian to see her and Dino. Rere''s mind starts to mess up. I don''t like being a newlywed. Everyone is bullying me.


    "Why are you so surprised? I didn''t see you guys kissing." Dian deliberately made slip of the tongue.


    "Oh my god, you say that you don''t want it but instead you are kissing Mr. Dino. So you are just shy. It turns out both of you are so close." Tia even protested.


    "Shut up" Rere is annoyed with Tia''s reaction. "What do you mean by changing all my clothes to lingerie? Where are my clothes?"


    "Don''t fuss Rere, Tia." Dila mediates their debate. "Lingerie was my idea. If you want to be angry, then just be angry at me."


    "Why did you do this to me, sister?" Rere looks at Dila with a pitiful expression. How could she dare to scold Dila? Dila''s cruel and heartless husband will slit her throat if she scolds her.


    "I''m not doing this to tease you, re. What''s wrong with a wife wearing lingerie in front of her husband? Pleasing the husband is  a reward for a wife." Dila even advised Rere. Her hands were still busy kneading the flour dough.


    "Can we talk privately, Re?" Dian washes her hands and then invites Rere to chat. They walk away from others.


    Dian and Rere continued walking until they reached the lake and the artificial forest. Dian invited her to sit near the lake. Coincidentally, there are some chairs provided around the area for guests to relax. The cranes fly over the lake, looking for fish to prey on.


    "Why are you still angry when people tease you with Dino?"


    "I''m not angry, sister." Rere lied. "Sis, I''m so sorry that because of us, you gave birth prematurely." Rere regretted her actions. She was angry because Dian knew the identity of Leon''s biological father and interfered with her personal matters.


    "Never mind. Let bygones be bygones. We''re okay."


    "I really regret my action."


    "There''s no need to talk about it. We need to talk about your and Dino''s marriage." Dian patted the chair next to her so Rere could sit beside her.


    Despite her doubts, Rere still sat beside Dian.


    "I know you were forced to marry Dino. Precisely forced by Bara." Dian spoke.


    Dian took Rere for a walk around the resort. They stood on the bridge connecting the lake and the resort. Rere was shaking and nervous. Curious what the mother of four children would talk about. Dian has just given birth. But, unlike a woman who has just given birth, her body is still sexy and charming. When she was pregnant, only her stomach bulged, there was no change in her body parts.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Rere said after she composes herself. She felt guilty for her and Bara''s action shocked Dian to inflict Dian''s early labor. Rere realized what Dian was doing everything for her own good.


    "You know why I wanted to protect you?" Dian says as she smiled sweetly at Rere.


    "No," Rere said, shaking his head.

 Chapter 61 - Dians Advice

    Dian and Rere continued walking until they reached the lake and the artificial forest. Dian invited her to sit near the lake. Coincidentally, there are some chairs provided around the area for guests to relax. The cranes fly over the lake, looking for fish to prey on.


    "Why are you still angry when people tease you with Dino?"


    "I''m not angry, sister." Rere lied. "Sis, I''m so sorry that because of us, you gave birth prematurely." Rere regretted her actions. She was angry because Dian knew the identity of Leon''s biological father and interfered with her personal matters.


    "Never mind. Let bygones be bygones. We''re okay."


    "I really regret my action."


    "There''s no need to talk about it. We need to talk about your and Dino''s marriage." Dian patted the chair next to her so Rere could sit beside her.


    Despite her doubts, Rere still sat beside Dian.


    "I know you were forced to marry Dino. Precisely forced by Bara." Dian spoke.


    Dian took Rere for a walk around the resort. They stood on the bridge connecting the lake and the resort. Rere was shaking and nervous. Curious what the mother of four children would talk about. Dian has just given birth. But, unlike a woman who has just given birth, her body is still sexy and charming. When she was pregnant, only her stomach bulged, there was no change in her body parts.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Rere said after she composes herself. She felt guilty for her and Bara''s action shocked Dian to inflict Dian''s early labor. Rere realized what Dian was doing everything for her own good.


    "You know why I wanted to protect you?" Dian says as she smiled sweetly at Rere.


    "No," Rere said, shaking his head.


    "It''s all because of Bara." Dian sighed as she smiled and averted her eyes to Rere.


    "He loves you like his real sister. Bara is an only child. He doesn''t have a sibling. When your parents are married, he was elated. Finally, he has a sister and I have a competitor. Bara loved me like a sister once. I was happy to be his sister. I know my feelings are wrong as I started to love him as a man. I was happy that it was my past. I really love my husband now. Your accusation to me is not true. Actually, I''ve known for a long time who Leon''s father is. Maybe I was the first person to realize that you were pregnant. You found out you were pregnant when you were six months, but I knew three months in advance."


    "You''re keeping too much secret from me." Rere shrugs her shoulders.


    "Remember who helped you get out of the forest? You see Prince Ahmed''s men''s bodies are lying around, right? Do you know who did that?" That was me. I killed them to save you," said Dian calmly. Picking flowers around the lake and then putting them in her ear.


    "What?" Rere was shocked. She never thought that it was Dian who helped her. Rere truly regrets her action that hurt Dian''s heart now. "Did you shoot them from the apartment?" Rere tried to confirm. "Not Uncle Mutu?"


    "I did it. I killed them. Uncle Mutu was just a go-between. I did the rest."


    "Why didn''t you tell me sooner?" Rere grabbed Dian''s arm. Rere now feels guilty for being mean and slandering Dian.


    "For what? I did it for Bara. You are one of Bara''s happiness. You are like his own blood sister. I just want to make him happy. Actually, I came to KL for a meeting with a client. But Bara asked me to check your condition. His hunch was right. It turned out that your life was in danger. Uncle Mutu picked me up and we went to the apartment. I was shocked when I saw Prince Ahmed''s men searching the apartment and carrying weapons. I cleaned them up. I''m used to holding guns and killing people."


    Rere got goosebumps and shuddered to hear Dian''s story. So far, Rere doesn''t know who Dian really is. She didn''t expect Dian to be so deadly and scary. Rere believed Dian because she heard the screams of Prince Ahmed''s men when they were shot. Their corpses even lay in the forest.


    "What did you do to their bodies?"


    "I burned them," Dian answered in a carefree manner. She was talking like she was just killing rats and not people.


    "Aren''t you afraid?"


    "I feel numb since I was raped. I''m not afraid of anything."


    Rere almost faints knowing Dian''s past history. When women are hurt they will become strong and cruel.


    "The point of our conversation this morning is not Bara but Dino." Dian changed the subject.


    "What do you want to say then?"


    "Never hate Dino. I know if you were forced to marry him because of Bara. I know you can''t refuse Bara''s wish, But, never let Dino go. If Bara believes him, then Dino is a good man. Bara is never wrong. He only wants the best for you."


    "I don''t know how to describe it, but I am confused. Everything is too weird for me."


    "Weird?"


    "Yes. Very weird. I never thought that I would be in this kind of situation."


    "Why were you never honest from the start?"


    "Be honest about what?"


    "When Angga came to the house? Why don''t you refute what he said? Why are you keeping silent when he claims to be Leon''s father?"


    "I have reasons for that."


    "What is the reason? Everything gets complicated. If Bara''s memory doesn''t return, the whereabouts of Leon''s biological father will be a mystery forever. You are luckier than me."


    "Lucky? My miserable life seems lucky to you?"


    "No. You are luckier than me. When I was fifteen years old. I was kidnapped and raped. I was made a sex slave. I was traumatized and had a mental breakdown. I got pregnant because of the rape. I was 16 years old when the child was born. I don''t acknowledge the child''s existence. The child looked so much like the rapist that made me hate him so much. But, you and Dino are different. Both of you did that because you want it. No coercion. You are strong. You''re not mentally disturbed."


    "Sister." Rere touched Dian''s shoulder. It turned out that Dian''s life was more tragic than hers.


    "I am alright. Don''t worry. It''s all in the past. That bitter incident made me a strong woman. We can''t be weak and give in to the situation."


    "I admire you for that."


    "No need to admire me. I''m not that good, Re. never let Dino go. He is sincere to you. Even though love doesn''t exist yet, he tries to give the best for you, Re. When we become a mother, the main priority in our lives is our children. Our children''s happiness is above all. You guys must hold hands raising Leon and Hanin. This is still the beginning of your relationship. It''s not easy being a wife and mother but I''m sure you can do it."


    "I still can''t get over my grudge against Dino," Rere told the truth. It''s useless to lie, she can''t lie to Dian.


    "Never hold grudges. It is not good to hold a grudge against someone who messed up our lives. Frankly, I keep hating my rapist. I''ve been hurt for years. Vengeance is a disease that corrupts my mind. My life is far from peaceful, if you keep on remembering it, you will only damage your minds." Dian took Rere''s hand and asked her to pick some flowers. Dian put the flower in Rere''s ear. "Beautiful." Dian praised Rere''s beauty and continued, "I know you are hurt by Dino''s words at that time. The words may still be ringing in your ears, but I hope you will try to forget Dino''s words. He made a mistake. The man you hate has become your husband, the father of your child, Re. It really is a thin line between love and hate. Don''t hate too much, for you might love what you hate. Dino just says it because he felt like he was being played with that night. He was wrong but he regrets what he did."


    "I just need time. I still can''t accept this."


    "Learn to love Dino. I advise you because I have treated you like a sister. I will love what Bara loves. I knew who Leon''s father was. I respect your decision to hide Leon''s father''s identity. I secretly investigated Dino. He''s a good man. You can take his love for triplets like his own child as proof. He respects his mother very much. We can see the man''s value from how he treats his mother."


    "I understand, Sis," said Rere slowly.


    After a heart-to-heart talk, they reunited with the others. They serve food to men. Rere tried to smile at everyone.


    From afar Bara looked at Dino and Rere. The man had already made a plan to bring them closer.

 Chapter 62 - Husband Seduces Wife

    Dino entered the room. He choked and swallowed his saliva when he saw Rere drying her hair. The woman who had given him a child had just finished taking a bath. Rere only wears a kimono towel that is above the knee length. Dino could see Rere''s flawless skin. He can even avert his gaze from her, even his lips curled into a hopeful smile.


    Rere himself was engrossed in the mirror until she realized a man was looking at her intensely. She caught Dino''s reflection in the mirror.


    "Can you knock on the door first, before you enter the room?" Rere scolded, as she took her clothes and went to the bathroom. She wasn''t used to changing clothes in front of Dino yet.


    Not long after, Rere came out of the bathroom. She was already fully clothed.


    "Start from today, knock on the door before entering." Rere nagged at Dino again.


    "You are the wrong one. Why isn''t the door locked? You just close the door. Although, I don''t think there is a problem if I see your naked body. I''m your husband. So, everything was okay." Dino said as he sat on the bed.


    "You''re a fake husband," replied Rere by turning his face the other way.


    "Fake husband?" Dino got up from the bed and dragged Rere against the wall. Dino then restrains Rere''s movement by holding Rere''s hand above her head. Dino brought their faces closer. Rere looked away, unable to meet Dino''s eyes. The man was angry at her words.


    "Do you do this to all women?" Rere said as soon as she found the courage to speak. Even though she couldn''t look into Dino''s eyes, she had to speak. She doesn''t want to look frail in front of Dino.


    "What do you mean? I only do this kind of thing with you." Dino brought his face closer to Rere. He did it to intimidate his wife.


    "You''re doing this to suppress women." Rere started to get emotional as her breath got irregular. She wanted to get out of Dino''s grip, but the man''s hand gripped her hand tightly. Dino brought his lips closer to kiss Rere. Dino would teach her a lesson through kissing knowing Rere didn''t like to be touched by him.


    "Don''t you dare to kiss me!" Rere gave a warning.


    "Why?"


    "I will kick you if you do that."


    Dino laughed before he looked closely at his very beautiful wife. She was a tall woman with pale white skin. Her pink lips and sharp nose accentuated her beautiful face. What man wouldn''t fall for such beauty? Dino was even grateful to have a child and married Rere even though the child was born out of wedlock.


    "Why did you act like a barbarian girl? Where is the calm and elegant Rere?"


    "You made me like this."


    "You need to call me honey since you''re married to me."


    "No," replied Rere quickly.


    "Otherwise I''ll KISS YOU."


    "You!" Rere almost exploded as she feels her anger grow. She firmly clenches her hand into fists.


    "Why do you get angry every time we get close?"


    "I don''t like being close to you. You didn''t keep your promise, you liar."


    "Which promise?"


    "You kissed me on our wedding night."


    "It''s your own fault. Why are you nagging? I only did that so you stop nagging."


    "Dino." Rere was annoyed, stomping on the floor. She pushed Dino as hard as she could and almost made Dino fall from staggering. Rere used the opportunity to escape Dino''s grasp.


    "You are so childish," Dino said quietly and smiled.


    "I am childish. Did you regret your decision on marrying a child?" Rere tried to provoke Dino with his own words.


    "I am not." Dino calmly shook his head and smiled before he continued, "Even though you are a child, you have given me a handsome boy. I want one more child. I want a daughter from you," Dino whispered as the man''s lips formed a smile.


    Dino''s smile made Rere feel cold and nauseous. "You are annoying."


    "Don''t scream. Then they''ll think I am in the middle of taking your chastity."


    "Do not be crazy. I''m not a virgin anymore."


    "Aren''t a woman who hasn''t been touch for a long time is no different than a virgin?" Dino was quick to tease his wife. He doesn''t know why those words impulsively came out of his mouth. Dino was sure that Rere would be angry at his words.


    "Please think before you say anything." Rere then ignored Dino and sat on the bed. She did not want to argue anymore.


    Dino tries to approach Rere but Rere immediately shifts away from the man.


    Feeling happy, Dino moves closer to her wife and Rere moves away, again. Rere almost fell because she was finally on the edge of the bed, but Dino quickly grabbed his wife''s arm so she didn''t fall to the floor.


    "This is a normal conversation between husband and wife," Dino said with triumph in his voice.


    "That''s other normal married people, not us."


    "Why?"


    "Why do you keep asking me questions?" Rere scratched her head. She ran out of patience to deal with Dino''s behavior. On one hand, she found the man to be so mature but when he was with her, she found him annoying and a little perverted.


    "Mommy dear, please don''t be like that with Baba," Dino said, holding back a laugh. He deliberately calls Rere ''Mommy'' and refers to himself as ''Baba'' since Hanin and Leon called him ''Baba''.


    "Why did you call me mommy?" Rere didn''t like it when Dino called her like Leon.


    "Just get used to it. If I call you by your name, Leon and Hanin will call you Rere. So I will call you Mommy," replied Dino smiling.


    Dino''s smile made Rere even more disgusted and annoyed.


    "When do we leave this place?" Rere changed the subject.


    "Why, mommy?"


    "Don''t call me, mommy. I do not like it."


    "I like to call you Mommy."


    "I''m not your mother."


    "You are the mother of my children."


    Rere was annoyed that Dino was teasing her. Hanin can call her Mommy but not Dino. Sometimes Rere cursed Dino, why did he have to be Dila''s cousin? If Dino had not been Dila''s cousin, perhaps they would not have met and married. KL left a scar that brings her nightmares, but it was also the place where she met her son''s father.


    Rere was silent, she was tired of responding to Dino as she busied herself tidying up their dirty clothes. The more she responds to Dino, the more the man will tease her. Rere knows if her husband is a flirt and likes to tease her. She expects Dino to be calm and quiet like Dila, but her guess was wrong. The two of them sat quietly on the bed. Dino folded his arms as he watched his wife. The ringing of the phone caught their attention. Rere immediately answers her ringing phone. Rere''s eyes widened when she found Bara''s name as the caller.


    "Who?" Dino asked


    "Bara," Rere said, pressing the answer button on the phone screen. "Yes, brother."


    "Are you with Dino?"


    "Yes. Why?"


    "Turn on the speakers so Dino could hear my voice."


    Even though she disliked it, Rere turned on the speaker.


    "There will be a farewell party for my best friends tonight. You guys have to come. We''re partying on a cruise ship." Bara said.


    "Okay Bar."


    "I can''t come," Rere cut in quickly.


    "Why?" Bara''s tone shows his dislike of Rere''s refusal. "You must come."


    " I want to clean up. I want to sleep with the kids. I miss them."


    "You are making too many reasons. I don''t accept excuses. The children have been taken care of by Lala''s mother and aunt."


    "Brother," Rere gritting her teeth at her annoying brother.


    "I''m going to pinch your ear if you refuse. Just prepare your husband''s clothes."


    "I am tired," Rere replied, suppressing the irritation in her voice.


    "Syarena_______" Bara growled in annoyance.


    "Yes, I will come," Rere quickly replied as she heard the change in Bara''s Voice. She was afraid to hear that kind of tone from her brother.


    "Great, what an obedient little sister you are. I Love you, dear," said Bara teasing her sister.


    "Stop saying that you love my wife." Dino interrupted. "I am the only person who can say such a thing to her."


    "It''s only been two days since you became a husband and you have become very possessive," Bara quipped.


    "Please know your place, Bar," Dino said while laughing.


    "I will be waiting for both of you. Do not be late."


    "You really scared at Bara." Dino laughed at his wife when Bara hung up the call.


    "Don''t smile."


    "Are you afraid that I will charm and bewitch you with the attraction of a handsome widower?" Dino smiled. If Rere got angry when he smiled, then Dino would like to smile as often as possible in front of his wife. "I was wrong. I''m not a widower anymore. Are you afraid of being ensnared by your husband''s charm?" Dino repeated the question.


    Rere didn''t answer him and instead walked away from Dino.

 Chapter 63 - Party On A Cruise

    "You really scared at Bara." Dino laughed at his wife when Bara hung up the call.


    "Don''t smile."


    "Are you afraid that I will charm and bewitch you with the attraction of a handsome widower?" Dino smiled. If Rere got angry when he smiled, then Dino would like to smile as often as possible in front of his wife. "I was wrong. I''m not a widower anymore. Are you afraid of being ensnared by your husband''s charm?" Dino repeated the question.


    Rere didn''t answer him and instead walked away from Dino.


    "Mommy, answer me." Dino giggled seeing Rere''s departure.


    "I will be going to see the kids," Rere said from the door. Just showing his head.


    "Yes, mommy."


    "You are annoying." Rere slammed the door hard.


    "Don''t be too angry at me, honey, you''ll fall in love harder," Dino chuckled after Rere left.


    The man took the laptop and checked his work. As a CEO at a leading advertising company in KL, the man couldn''t just leave his job. They will be meeting with GV Entertainment for a traditional drink commercial project. Dino is checking the advertising concept sent by the marketing team. It was Dino who decided what kind of advertisement to offer to customers, the man even chooses who is the actor for their advertising model.


    Dino is busy with his work. He is busy analyzing the concept of advertising. For this drink advertisement, Dino does not agree with the concept of the marketing team. He thinks that the advertising concept is too old and has been used by other advertising companies.


    The ringing of the phone caught Dino''s attention. The man took the cell phone from the nightstand.


    Dino''s brow furrowed when he found Gesa''s name. The man slides the green button on the phone screen to answer the call. "Hello."


    "Dino," said Gesa softly in a weak voice.


    "How are you?" Dino small talk.


    "I''m fine."


    "Thank God."


    "I am sorry," Gesa suddenly said in a choked voice. For some reason, she feels like she can''t find her own voice to talk to Dino.


    "What for?" Dino is confused. Gesa''s attitude was very strange, unlike the Gesa he knew. Dino knows Gesa quite a bit because she is Ananya''s assistant and is very close to his family.


    "Sorry for not coming to your and Rere''s wedding."


    "It is okay. You must have an important business so you can''t come. You just need to send us your blessing so our marriage will last till death."


    It hurts just to hear you say such a thing. Gesa muttered.


    "Congratulations on your marriage, Dino." Gesa felt bitter when she said those words. Honestly, she couldn''t even congratulate Dino and Rere on their wedding. Gesa should be the one to be Dino''s wife, not Rere.


    "Thank you. Did you get sick?"


    "I just don''t feel great. It''s okay. I''ve been taking medicine."


    "Take care of your health, okay?"


    "Thank you, Dino."


    "Gesa."


    "Yes." Gesa didn''t realize that Dino called him as she was in her daydreams a lot lately.


    "You haven''t told me Ananya''s last words before she died. Can you tell me now? Yesterday you didn''t get to say it because we were busy running away from Prince Ahmed''s men."


    "It''s not important anymore. You are already married to Rere."


    "Does it have anything to do with my marriage?"


    "There is. Never mind. Let''s not talk about it anymore. It doesn''t matter anymore. I hope you are happy with your small family. I''m praying for you from here."


    "Gesa, why did you say something like that? Did you cry?" Dino heard Gesa''s trembling voice.


    "I am not." Gesa tried to smile even though Dino couldn''t see it. "Once again, I wish you happiness."


    Tutt....


    Gesa hangs up the call.


    Dino walks back and forth inside the room. He was confused by Gesa''s change of attitude since their kidnapping that night. Dino also has a lot of unanswered questions in his mind. He wanted to know Ananya''s last words before she died.


    In the afternoon Rere returned to the room. Dino did not lock the door so she could get in without disturbing the man. Since then, Dino has been busy with his laptop to finish his work. Rere frowned when she saw the papers scattered on the bed. Dino was too occupied with his own world and did not realize his wife''s arrival. A noise broke Dino''s focus.


    He turned and saw his wife before he waved his hand, "Ah, My dear wife is home, My favorite girl."


    "Don''t call me girl." Rere took a bolster and hit Dino. It doesn''t take long for Dino to avenge Rere''s attack and start a pillow war. The pillow cotton from inside the pillows was scattered around. They acted like children who just got a toy as they attack each other.


    That man always makes me bleed. I was framed to marry him. I hate it. I will make him hate me and divorce me! Rere whispered in the heart


    Dino even chased Rere to the balcony. Rere tried to run away from Dino''s rampage. Her power can''t match Dino''s strength. Dino didn''t want to give up. While trying to run away, Rere tripped but Dino skillfully grabbed her arm so she wouldn''t fall on the floor. The two stared at each other. Somehow Rere became nervous when she realized that they were so close to each other.


    "In the movie, after men and women have a pillow fight, they will reconcile with a hug and kiss." Dino smiled sweetly.


    Rere''s expression turned dark. Dino always annoyed her. She immediately got up and walked away from Dino.


    "Here we go again, another tantrum" Dino whispered with a chuckle.


    As the night comes, Dino waited for Rere in front of the room. Because they will be attending a very formal event, Dino wears a brown suit that makes him look dashing. Dino gaped and was stunned to see Rere in a long brown dress. The dress fits her body perfectly and radiates Rere''s beauty. Dino almost staggered when he saw her wife. His wife is gorgeous in her dress. Dino felt lucky to have married an angel as beautiful as Rere.


    "What are you looking at?" Rere knew that Dino was watching him.


    "You are beautiful today. Makes me like you even more. You are lovely today, make me fall for you even harder." Dino sings a love song.


    "What a flirt!" Rere said as she walked away, leaving Dino alone. She would be diabetic if she stays with Dino for a long time.


    "Darling, please wait for me." Dino run after Rere before holding Rere''s hand affectionately as if to show the world that this woman is his.


    Dino and Rere headed for the harbor. They were alone inside the car for Dila and Bara had already gone to the harbor because they were the hosts. They arrived not long after. Rere shrugged her shoulders because the wind was so cold tonight. As a real man, Dino took off his coat and put it on Rere''s shoulder.


    The woman was touched by Dino''s attitude, but she did not want to show it and was still acting high and mighty. Dino took Rere''s hand and got on the boat.


    "Hey Dino," Demir said in a teasing tone. The man was very handsome in a white coat. Dee is also very pretty in her white knee-length dress. Their appearance matched each other very well.


    "Hey Rere, It was great to see you again," Dee said kindly as she kissed Rere''s cheek as a greeting.


    "Great to see you too. How are you? Are you pregnant? Your belly started to grow big, I am really sorry for not noticing this great news."


    "It''s been six months," Dee replied, stroking her bulging belly.


    "This is our second child," Demir said proudly and stroked Dee''s stomach. The man shamelessly kissed his wife''s forehead in front of Dino and Rere.


    The newlywed couple stares at each other awkwardly seeing the display of affection from Demir and Dee.


    "Hopefully we will soon be blessed with a third child," Dino said casually. He wanted to stroke Rere''s stomach but the woman quickly walked away.


    Demir and Dee noticed their strange behavior but they just laughed to lighten the mood. The four of them went inside because the event will start soon. The first event was the tango dance presented by Dila and Bara. The couple danced merrily. Their intimacy makes anyone look at them with jealousy. Rere also wants to be like Dila, loved and adored by her husband. Unfortunately, Rere is not married to the man she loves.


    "For the next event, we''re going to play a truth or dare game. We will spin the bottle, If the head of the bottle stops on you, then you must answer our questions or take on the challenges we provide. We will do this game in pairs." Bara glanced at his friends. Zico, Demir, Kevan, Zico and Rizki. They had already arranged a plan to prank Dino and Rere

 Chapter 64 - Stranded

    "Let me spin the bottle." Demir took the bottle from Bara''s hand and spun it on the table.


    Everyone stood around the table with their respective partners. All nervous. Where would the bottle point to? Rere pouted as the bottle stopped on her. Whether she likes it or not, she has to answer questions or do challenges.


    "Who wants to ask a question?" Bara spoke and Uty raised her hand. "Doctor Uty, please ask your questions."


    "The rule is simple. If you don''t want to answer the question, both of you should drink this." Uty put betel nut juice on the table.


    "Just drink this juice? It''s easy. Let me drink that," Rere said calmly without burden.


    "This betel nut juice is great to increase vitality." Dian scoffed.


    Rere''s face turned red with embarrassment hearing Dian''s words. She did not reach for the juice anymore afraid that the one-night stand between her and Dino might happen again.


    "The question is how was your first night? How many rounds?" Uty asked while holding back a laugh. Rere was dumbfounded with such a question but, there is nothing she can do, Bara has arranged everything.


    "What kind of question is this?" Rere pouted her lips in annoyance. "I''ll just drink the juice," Rere said as her hand took the betel nut juice from the table. Even though it tasted strange and bitter, she gulps it all at once.


    "What a formidable woman. I think Leon will have another sibling soon." Everyone in the room laughed as they heard Dian''s words.


    "You drink it too, bro." Rizki gave the other glass to Dino.


    Dino drank it without any complaint. After drinking the juice both of their heads start to feel dizzy. Dino and Rere were unconscious when everyone guided them onto the boat. The small group drops Dino and Rere off in a small boat that later sails freely across the ocean.


    Rere opened her eyes as the sunlight dazzled her eyes. She was very surprised to find out that she was on a small boat when she finally sober. Dino was sleeping next to her. Rere was shocked because they were in the middle of the sea. Her body shivered because she was afraid.


    Fear of not being able to go back and meet Leon, Rere started to shake the man who was sleeping like a log beside her.


    "Dino, wake up!" Rere squeaked, touching Dino''s arm. Rere always called Dino by his name when she is in an unpleasant situation.


    Dino is still sleeping and did not give a response. The man was even snoring. Rere tries to wake Dino up again


    "Dino, wake up." Rere approached the man and she started to wave her hand in front of Dino''s face. The man did not show any sign that she would wake up.


    Annoyed, Rere took some seawater with both hands and splashed it on Dino''s face. The man was startled and woke up from his peaceful sleep. Their ship almost flips over if Rere didn''t keep her balance.


    "Where is this?" Dino rubbed his eyes, astounded to find out they are in the middle of the sea.


    "I don''t know either."


    "How come?" Dino asked dumbly.


    Rere cried because they were floating in the middle of the sea. She was afraid she couldn''t go home and meet Leon again.


    "I am here, don''t be afraid." Dino instead took this opportunity to hug Rere. The man wanted to protect Rere even more. His wife''s innocence and arrogance excite Dino.


    "I''m afraid I can''t go home and meet Leon."


    "Only Leon?"


    "Hanin too. I want to go home and meet the kids. I don''t want to live here." Rere cried like a child. She was very scared and nervous.


    Damn! Why is she always this unfortunate?


    Rere finally shouted loudly as Dino closed his ears. He released her from his arms. His ears hurt because of his wife''s screams.


    "Why are you shouting?"


    "Why did we have to end up here? I want to go home. MOM...I was stranded here with a butterfly."


    "Butterfly?" Dino is confused with what Rere says. What does Rere mean?


    "Yes, you are the butterfly. Calling men crocodiles is so old-fashion. Nowadays, men are called butterflies because they can just fly from one heart to another easily?"


    "This butterfly title deserves to be pinned on a bad boy, not a loyal man like me. Even though I am a butterfly, am I not your husband?"


    "A husband that I was forced to marry," Rere said as she turned her face the other way. Showing an unsightly sour face. There is only a vast ocean and green hills whenever she looks. She cannot find any port around the place.


    "Are we in the Indian Ocean?" Rere tried to guess.


    "There''s no way we could be here without us knowing. Why did we wake up here? Let''s try to recall what happened last night." Dino tried to think clearly.


    Rere also tries to recall every piece of last night''s memory. Last night she and Dino went to a party on the yacht organized by Bara. They have a game of truth or dare. As the game progresses the bottle stops on them. At that time Rere did not want to answer questions and drank the betel juice. Dino also drank the same juice. After drinking the juice both of them fell unconscious and didn''t remember anything else.


    "This must be Bara''s doing." Rere clenched her fists in annoyance. If only that man wasn''t her brother, Rere would have hit the nosy man.


    "Bara?"


    "He must have planned all of this." Rere is positive that Bara is the culprit.


    "What makes you so sure?"


    "Who else could do all this if not him. He''s sane and crazy at the same time."


    "What''s the purpose?"


    "He wants to make us closer. He knows that we are not close and are like enemies."


    "I don''t see you as an enemy. You are my wife. My beautiful little wife," Dino''s signature move came out. Let''s seduce his wife!


    "What a butterfly."


    "What a flower." Dino doesn''t want to lose.


    "Why did you call me a flower?" Rere dislikes being called like that from Dino.


    "Butterflies like to suck nectar from flowers. So we are really match-made in heaven."


    "Butterflies will fly away after sucking the nectar. The butterfly is the synonym for playboys."


    Dino stood on the ship with his hands on his hips. When he stood up, the ship started to rock again.


    "Sit down. This ship will sink if you stand up." Rere grumbled. As usual, her lips easily scolded Dino. The man sat back down.


    "One more grumbling and I''ll kiss you." Dino again declared a move to subdue Rere.


    "Annoying." Rere stuck out her tongue mocking Dino.


    "You must be polite to your husband, Rere. Do you want me to teach you another function of your tongue?"


    "Pervert,"


    "Do you want me to make you desire my touch?" Dino asked, raising his eyebrows.


    "Your mouth is really vulgar." Rere widened her eyes. "If you start other vulgar words, I''ll plug your eyes."


    "It''s okay if you use your tongue." Dino stuck out his tongue and played with it.


    Rere is getting annoyed. She then pinched Dino''s stomach until the man groaned from pain. They are too engrossed in their joke that they fail to notice that the boat started to sway. In the end, both fall into the water.


    "This is because of you that our boat flips over." Rere splashed some water on Dino''s face.


    Dino closed his eyes because the seawater stings. The dress Rere was wearing made it difficult for her to swim and she almost drowned. Dino was quick to help his wife. He also flips back the boat. He helped Rere climb up inside the boat. While helping his wife, Dino accidentally touched Rere''s butt.


    "Dino Putra Chaniago. Stop touching me in this kind of situation," Rere shouted loudly, her voice almost breaking the sky.


    "Why?"


    Remember our agreement. Never touch me." Rere tried to contain his emotions. For some reason, she was always angry when she was with Dino.


    "I didn''t mean to touch you. I was just helping you, honey." Dino again teased Rere.


    "I don''t believe what you say. Once a modus is always a modus."


    "Geez. Rere, you''re always suspicious. Don''t think negatively of anyone. I''m only helping you. If I don''t help you, can you still get off the ship in that dress of yours?"


    Rere did not answer her husband''s words. She still couldn''t believe Dino. According to her, assholes will always be assholes.


    "Why are you silent? You are silent because I am right?" Dino on his hips. Smiling at Ree. Feeling victorious because he managed to make Rere silent.


    Someone who was watching the two of them from a hidden place as he gave a report. "Sir. They''re awake and they fight until the boat flips over."


    Bara who was on the other side of the phone laughed. "They are so childish. Just keep an eye on them!"


    "Yes, Sir."

 Chapter 65 - Private Island

    "Don''t grope, Dino." Rere pinched Dino''s arm until the man screamed. Rere''s nails are very long so, her pinch even left marks.


    "I''m not trying to grope you. I accidentally touched your butt. If I don''t push your butt up for you to get on the boat, you''ll drown. You should have said thank you, not hitting your husband." Dino frowns, pouting his lips.


    "Whatever." Rere folded her arms across her chest. She was still annoyed that Dino had dared to flirt at times like this. Even though Dino had the right to touch her, she didn''t want to. There are still no feelings, yet.


    "You are annoying. Stupid brat."


    "You pedophile," replied Rere, not wanting to lose.


    "What did you say? Me? A pedophile?"


    "Yes. You''re flirting with a kid." Rere confirmed Dino''s words that she was still a ''kid''.


    "How am I a pedophile? I haven''t SLEEP with you yet. Do you want it?" Dino raised his eyebrows.


    "Watch your mouth," Rere growled in annoyance. Why is it so easy for Dino to talk about sex to her?


    "What''s wrong with my mouth? Do you want to be kissed?"


    "Dino," Rere whispered in harmony with the sound of her stomach. Rere was silent. Her stomach is rumbling asking to be filled.


    "We need to pull over to an island to look for food." Dino looked around as his eyes caught an island. The man took over the boat and turned towards the island he saw.


    "Where are you going?" Rere asked while holding her hungry stomach.


    "We are going to the island," Dino said while pointing the island to Rere.


    The boat they were riding reached the port. It turns out the island has a small port. Dino went down from the boat first and then tied the boat with a rope so the boat wouldn''t drag by the waves into the sea. After that Dino reached out his hand to help Rere get off the boat.


    The woman folded her arms as they looked at each other. Rere was still full of pride and didn''t want to hold Dino''s hand.


    "Okay, then." Dino ignored and left Rere first.


    "Wait," Rere shouted in panic. She was afraid to be left alone. Rere almost fell if Dino didn''t turn around quickly to hold her arm.


    "I told you. So, don''t refuse anyone help if you don''t want to create trouble for yourself." Dino nagged his wife.


    Rere pouted in annoyance. She didn''t have the energy to retort back to Dino. Her stomach was rumbling, asking to be filled. Rere put on a sour expression as she walked behind Dino. Her beautiful dress started to feel uncomfortable to move around.


    Dino and Rere were shocked when they saw a banner that says "Welcome Mr. Dino and Mrs. Rere. Happy Honeymoon" in front of a luxury villa.


    Dino and Rere were agape with their eyes wide open. They can''t believe this place was prepared for them.


    They even saw a welcome drink. Rere immediately took the drink to quench her thirst.


    "That means someone was here before we arrived. We''re being bullied," Rere whispered, rubbing her face roughly.


    "They are really good at this. Who did this?" Dino looked at the drinks that had been provided. He only drinks it after he makes sure it''s safe to drink.


    "Who else if not Aldebaran. He''s crazy and sane at the same time. He plans to lock us up on this island."


    "I will remember this legendary honeymoon." Dino sat on a chair while looking up at the blue sky. He closed his eyes enjoying the cool breeze. The coconut palms waved creating a comfortable atmosphere. This place is so beautiful and serene.


    "What honeymoon? My luck is so bad." Rere pouted.


    "You''ve been talking about your bad luck ever since. Why are you being annoying?" Dino got annoyed and entered the villa.


    "Where are you going?" Rere chased after Dino.


    "Why did you ask? I will go wherever I want to."


    "Is this how you treat your wife? You are an irresponsible husband." Rere sparked her husband''s reaction again.


    Dino turned around and showed an evil face.


    "If I''m an irresponsible husband, I would''ve let you drown in the middle of the sea," Dino answers with an arrogant face.


    Rere didn''t answer. She realizes that she is wrong. But she would never admit it in front of Dino. They enter the villa to find some clothes since their clothes were wet. They realize that they can get a stomachache and catch a cold if you wear wet clothes.


    Dino and Rere halt their steps when they hear the sound of a phone ringing. Both looked at each other. Rere was afraid that this is a haunted villa that they were not allowed to step into. She hides quickly behind Dino.


    Dino picked up the cell phone that was ringing above the reception desk. He slides the green button on the phone screen.


    "Hello," Dino said, turning on the speaker.


    "Why did you sound so stiff, brother," the caller chuckled.


    Rere and Dino realize who called the phone the second the caller talked. Who else if it is not Bara.


    "Brother, what do you mean by this? Did you plan all of this? Why did you bring us here? You''re very annoying." Rere scolded Bara.


    "Why did you get angry after I provided both of you with a honeymoon? You should have thanked me because I''ve been taking care of everything. "


    "I didn''t ask for this."


    "You didn''t ask for that, but I want you to enjoy your honeymoon."


    "What about my son?"


    "Leon is safe in my hands. He''s not fussy or even asks about you."


    "But, what about Hanin? He needs her father by her side," replied Rere, trying to reason with Bara.


    "She''s very calm with Dila. Don''t worry about them. You guys are on your honeymoon. Just spend a week on that island. That''s my friend''s private villa that I have booked for you because I want to bring the two of you closer. I have told all the vila''s workers to go home. Instead, I already fill the kitchen with food stock for a week. Be a good wife and cook husband, okay Re?"


    "Brother, I want to go home," Rere whined like a child asking for a toy.


    "I''ll pick you up in a week. Dino," Bara called Dino who was silent.


    "Yes."


    "Why don''t you say anything?"


    "What do you want me to say? "wow?  Why did you make this plan without telling me, Bar? You got me in trouble. The kid I''m with is always causing trouble."


    "What did you say? I''m a kid?" Rere looked at Dino. Her eyes gleamed with anger.


    "She is a kid who has given you another kid, No. Don''t forget that." Bara laughed. For some reason thinking about Dino and Rere made him laugh. They''re like Tom and Jerry who are always fighting.


    "Yeah, I know." Dino did not dispute Bara''s words.


    "Brother, I want to go home. I don''t want to be alone with Dino." Rere started to beg again, she really hopes Bara will hear her pitiful cry.


    "Why? Just spent some time with your husband. You can''t refuse this."


    "I don''t want to." Rere shook her head even though Bara couldn''t see her.


    "Give me one reason why you want to go home and don''t want to go on a honeymoon."


    "I''m afraid of being eaten."


    "Who is going to eat you?" Bara understands Rere''s question, but he wants to play with her sister.


    "Who else, it is Dino Putra Chaniago. He has been flirting with me since we are alone. I don''t want him to flirt with me."


    "It''s okay since the one who flirts with you is your husband. Don''t refuse. It''s a sin to refuse." Bara said before he turned off the phone. Hopefully, Dino and Rere can get to know each other while they are on the island.


    "Brother. I''m not done talking yet." Rere panicked when the connection was off. Rere smashed the phone on the floor in annoyance.


    "What are you doing? Why did you throw the phone? If you break it, how will Bara contact us?"


    "Whatever." Rere pursed her lips. She lifted her dress and went to find a room.


    "Rere, I haven''t finished talking yet." Dino followed where his wife went.


    "I don''t want to talk to you. It sucks. Seeing your face makes me bleed."


    "What? Say it one more time." Dino pulled Rere''s arm until the girl stopped walking.


    "What should I say? I''m upset that I''m stuck here with you. I don''t want to be alone with you."


    "I never asked Bara for it. Just blame her."


    "It''s useless. We''re already here. Don''t come near me!"


    "Be patient, Dino." Dino encouraged himself.


    Having a wife like Rere makes Dino have to be patient. Thought Rere was still a child. As a grown man, Dino must be able to balance his wife. If he gets angry too when Rere is angry, it is certain that their household is like hell

 Chapter 66 - Bridal Room

    Rere found a room after walking for a while. She was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the room. The bed is sprinkled with rose petals. Not only that. The lingerie was placed on the bed. There are various models with different colors. Rere also saw Japanese anime cosplay clothes, such as nurse clothes, maid, and others. Rere cursed Bara again for having prepared everything.


    "You bastard brother," Rere squeaked, lifting the cosplay maid''s clothes as her brain wandered, imagining the scene in the blue film. A maid was busy cleaning the house when her employer came. The man hugged her from behind then hit her ass.


    Rere shook her head at the thought of the dirty scene. Her mind was always thinking of perverted things since marrying Dino. The kiss that they share that night will never be forgotten. He had indeed kissed Angga, but it was not as amazing as what Dino did. Rere touched her lips, remembering their kiss with Dino.


    "Ouch¡­. My perverted brain." Rere hit her head as she threw the cosplay in the original place. She didn''t think her fantasy was so wild.


    Rere''s gaze shifted to the window. She opened the curtain and saw amazing scenery. The beach and the swimming pool can be seen from this room. This resort is designed with a back-to-nature theme. Rere walked around, doing a home tour. The bathroom is in an open area, it does not have a roof. They can see the stars clearly at night. The place is unique and aesthetic. Rere really likes it. Rere''s stomach growled again. It turned out that the glass of water could not ease the hunger. Rere returned to the room and opened the refrigerator.


    She found a lot of ice cream inside the fridge. She took a small bowl of ice cream, opened it, and ate it voraciously. After eating, Rere opened the wardrobe. There are lots of clothes in the wardrobe but unfortunately, Rere would never use this kind of clothes since the clothes are sexy and there are only hot pants for the bottoms. Rere doesn''t like to wear this small piece of clothes. In the end, Rere took the clothes. It''s better than wearing lingerie, Rere thought as she walked to the bathroom. She wet her hair under the shower. The scene of Dino lifting her onto the boat and touching her ass play in repeat in her memory.


    "Damn," Rere screamed in the bathroom.


    Rere stops moving when she hears someone knock on the door from outside. She was naked inside the room.


    "Mommy, are you safe?" Dino asked. Turns out he was the one knocking on the bathroom door.


    "I am," replied Rere, shouting. She just realizes Dino called her ''Mommy'' after she shouts.


    "Don''t call me mommy!" Rere warned Dino.


    "Then what should I called you?" Dino smiled. His desire to tease Rere awoke in his heart.


    "Just Rere," she replied, soaping her body.


    "Yes, dear?" Dino pretended to be senile.


    "I will circumcise you if you call me dear."


    "What? Do you want to pet my ''little brother''?" Dino teases Rere. Since Rere is his wife, Dino can talk vulgarly with Rere. He likes to do it even though Rere doesn''t like it.


    "Watch your mouth. I mean if you call me mommy, I will circumcise you."


    "Sadistic." Dino shrugged. "If I was circumcised for the second time, you will be the one who suffers because there will be none left "


    "Dino," Rere shouted, annoyed. She splashed her body with water, took a towel, and wrapped her body.


    Dino''s eyebrows rose while looking at Rere when the girl came out of the bathroom. The man was speechless seeing his wife''s appearance. Rere''s body was only wrapped in a towel. Dino hoped the towel would fell off and he could see what it covered.


    "Nasty." Rere pinched Dino.


    "You are so rude." Dino grimaced, stroking the place where Rere pinched him.


    "You pervert."


    "What is wrong with a husband being perverted to his wife?"


    "I don''t want you to." Rere put both her hands on her hips. "Did your head hit something, No?" Rere still hadn''t received Dino''s vulgar remarks.


    Dino laughed, looking at Rere. "Why?" Dino acted coquettishly by wrapping his arms around his chest.


    "You became annoying again."


    "This annoying man is your husband and you will be captured by his charms."


    "You are too overconfident," Rere said as she left Dino. She tries to ignore her shyness even though she was only wrapped in a towel. The man was her husband. It is not a sin to show her nakedness to the husband.


    Rere walks so fast that she doesn''t notice there is some water dripping from the shower. Rere screamed because she was about to fall. Dino moved quickly to help his wife.


    "Aaaaaaaa...¡­" Rere shouted loudly.


    Dino tries to catch her wife but only manages to grab Rere''s towel. He managed to support his wife''s body at the end but sadly the towel fell off and showed Rere''s naked body. Dino fell silent as he saw Rere''s white and full breast. It had been a long time since he had seen a naked woman''s body, so it was natural for the man to daydream. Dino covered his eyes with his hands but he still can see Rere''s body through the gap of his fingers. He is a normal man, it is okay to tease his wife.


    "What a teaser." Rere hit Dino''s head. She released her body from Dino. She grabbed a towel on the floor and wrapped it around her body. Rere quickly getting inside the bathroom to get dressed. She wasn''t used to changing clothes in front of Dino.


    When she came out of the bathroom, Dino even teased Rere by pouting his lips.


    "Go take a bath." Rere hit Dino with a towel.


    Rere opened the cupboard and prepared some clothes for Dino. Bara has also prepared Dino''s clothes and underwear.


    Rere put clothes on the bed before she went to the kitchen. Rere was happy when she saw the contents of the refrigerator. There is a lot of food stock. There is beef, chicken, fish, wagyu, eggs, squid, and shrimp. She also saw a variety of vegetables and instant noodles.


    Rere was hungry so she made instant food. She took two packets of noodles and two eggs. Rere cooks noodles, heats the water until it boils, puts eggs, sausage, and meatballs. Rere also cut the cayenne pepper to make the noodles more delicious.


    Dono caught the smell of instant noodles. The scent leads Dino into the kitchen.


    "Wow, there are instant noodles." Dino is drooling.


    "Let''s eat, Dino." Rere offered her husband a meal.


    The man sat in front of Rere enjoying the instant noodles. Actually, his stomach was really hungry and  asked to be filled,


    "Wow, that''s delicious." Dino praised Rere''s instant noodles.


    "Stop exaggerating."


    "I am not exaggerating, Rere. It''s really delicious."


    "What are we going to do for a week here?" Rere opened the conversation.


    "Of course take a vacation. We can swim, dive. We can do a lot of activities while we are here."


    Rere''s expression was unreadable. She fell silent and finished her food. Actually, Rere never ate noodle, but because she was hungry and in a hurry, she ate it. The only food she could make as fast as possible is noodles.


    "Rere," Dino called his wife.


    Rere didn''t answer. She focused on looking straight ahead as she was thinking about something. She thought of Leon. Has Leon eaten and not bothered others? She loved the boy very much. They were always together and never separated for so long.


    "Re." Dino touched his wife''s arm.


    Startled, Rere reflex hit Dino''s head with a spoon. The man screamed in pain.


    "Why are you so rude, re?" Dino grimaced, touching his head.


    "I''m sorry, Dino. I have mild echolalia. I didn''t mean to do that," Rere squeaked innocently.


    "Do you have echolalia?"


    "Yes."


    "I love you," Dino startled Rere.


    "Yes, I love you," Rere replied to Dino''s words.


    Dino burst out laughing. He thought Rere was just joking but she really had echolalia.


    "I promise to be a good wife to my dear, Dino."


    "I promise to be a good wife to my dear, Dino." Rere repeated Dino''s words.


    "Sweet." Dino was exasperated and then pinched Rere''s cheek.


    "Sweet," Rere replied, kissing Dino''s cheek.


    "Baby, you''re adorable." Dino burst out laughing. Speak quickly for Rere to follow him.


    "Baby, you''re adorable."


    "Smart." Dino clapped his hands. He smiled sweetly at his wife.


    ""Shit." Rere cursed Dino.


    Echolalia is a psychiatric disorder characterized by repeating sounds and phrases that have been heard. A person with echolalia may not be able to communicate effectively because they struggle to express their own thoughts.


    For example, a person with echolalia may only be able to repeat a question rather than answer it. In most cases, echolalia is an attempt to communicate, learn a language, or practice a language.

 Chapter 67 - Reres Honesty

    "You can''t talk like that with your husband," Dino''s index finger landed on Rere''s lips.


    The woman fell silent feeling Dino''s hand caressing her cheek. Dino''s gaze was so soothing that it made Rere hypnotized. The two of them looked at each other. For some reason, Dino often made her mind blank. His charm weakened and paralyzed her.


    "Can you keep your hand away from my lips?" Rere glared at him. She still behaves arrogantly.


    "Why? Do you have another fantasy?" Dino chuckled, teasing Rere. The man winked.


    Rere looked away. She can''t be weak. She has to stick with her stance. She should not give her heart to Dino.


    "What is it? Why are you so annoying?" Rere moved away from Dino and left the man. Rere is very upset that Dino always teases her.


    How stupid I am! Rere cursed her stupidity.


    Rere could guess if one day Dino would use her weakness. Rere wondered why she could have this echolalia. She doesn''t know why she can talk with Dino smoothly. Sometimes she suspected that Dino had magic that makes her could talk honestly.


    Rere walked away from Dino towards the beach. She sat on the beach playing in the sand before starting to make a sandcastle. Even though it''s child''s play but because there is nothing she could do, she just does it. She builds a high palace with the sand.


    Dino smiled when he looked at Rere from afar. He watched her silently, not wanting to spoil Rere''s mood. He knows if his wife is arrogant, but her heart is soft and easily offended by others.


    "I finished it," Rere said in satisfaction while wiping sweat on her forehead. Some part of her face was covered by sand, but Rere was happy because she finished the sandcastle which included twelve towers. "My time for accompanying Leon and Alana to build a sandcastle is not in vain. At least I have activities for these seven days."


    "What activity?" Dino suddenly appeared. The man approaches her with his hand in his pocket. He has a habit of putting his hands in his pockets.


    "Why do you ask? Do we know each other?" Rere was sarcastic as she looked away. She thinks Dino is very annoying and nosy.


    "If you don''t know me, let''s get to know each other first." Dino reached out. "Dino Putra Chaniago, you can call me Dino. I am a widower of two children."


    "Widower?" Rere snorted. "Then what about me? Am I not your wife?"


    "Well, I am wrong again," Dino complained while patting his head. "Rere, why everything that I do always seems wrong in your eyes. What should I do so you can accept me? Can you tell me? If you''re like this, I should hang myself on a chili tree." Dino said in sarcasm, imitating the stand-up comedy scene that was going viral on the tik-tok application.


    "Why did I never hear about people who hang themselves on chili trees?" Rere took Dino''s words seriously.


    Dino took a deep breath. He cannot predict Rere''s childish nature. He always tries to remember Bara''s words that Rere is spoiled and playful. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, always getting what she wanted, those things grow her into an arrogant woman.


    "Oh, Rere. My lovely wife. You''re really tense." Dino approached Rere and pinched both of Rere''s cheeks.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Rere brushed off Dino''s hand and pinched his arm as revenge.


    "Awwwww¡­.it hurts," groaned Dino, stroking his pitiful arm. The place where Rere pinch always left a bluish mark. Rere pinched him as hard as she could.


    "So, you like violence, Rere. I know that wives like the hard ones but you don''t need to do this to me." Dino bullied his wife.


    "What are you talking about? You''ve been talking nonsense since before."


    "What are you talking about? You''ve been angry for some time," Dino replied, copying some of Rere''s words.


    "You''re so annoying. I thought you were as calm and cold as the CEO in the Korean drama."


    "Life is not as beautiful as Korean drama, mommy. Everything in the movie is just sham."


    "Yeah, I know, and don''t patronize me. I''m a fangirl."


    "Oh, fangirls?" Dino nodded, pretending to understand when he was actually making fun of her.


    "How long are we going to stay here? I want to go home?"


    "Why are you in such a hurry?"


    "Do you want me to be honest or lie?"


    "Honesty is always better even if it hurts."


    Rere was silent. She tried to think for a moment. Whether to be honest or not. Being alone with Dino really bothered her. They are two strangers who reunited through marriage. They married without love. Dino didn''t even approach her. Children are the main reason why Dino wants to marry her


    Rere still couldn''t come to terms with the fact that she was going to marry a man she hated. It''s a woman''s nature, it''s hard to forget a man''s mistakes even after years. Dino''s words still hurt her heart. His words are like nails chiseled into the wood,  even though the nail has been removed, the hole is still there. That''s what Rere feels. The pain is still there even after their marriage.


    "What do you want to say?"


    "Our wedding was too sudden and too fast for me _____________________" Rere took a breath  and exhale slowly. She observes Dino''s expression to find out whether he was angry or not. She was still hesitant to talk.


    "Continue?"


    "Every woman''s dream is to marry the man she loves. You and I got married because of Leon, that''s why I was forced by Bara to marry you. It''s not that I''m selfish not thinking about Leon''s future but I have reasons why I rejected you that time.


    "Is it because you still have a grudge against me?" Dino cut Rere''s words.


    "You can say that. I have a delicate and sensitive feeling. This trait makes me only have a small circle of friends. I''m considered too sensitive. I never think about what other people say. As long as I don''t ask them to feed me, then I''m not affected by their words. Since that night, I don''t want to help anyone anymore. I feel unlucky every time I help people. My life was in danger when I saved Gesa and I also became a key witness of your wife''s death."


    Dino nodded understanding how Rere felt.


    "Sorry if I ruined your life. Sorry if you don''t like me. I just want to be close to you. I''m this kind of person. Let''s just say that we are friends and don''t be burdened by our status. I''ll give you some time, Rere."


    "I can see if you still love Ananya. I understand that you used to like Dila, but it''s just admiration because Dila can be a good mother to Hanin. I personally don''t mind Hanin''s existence, but I can''t accept you. I still can''t believe we''re married."


    "Sorry if our marriage weighs your mind."


    "I''m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I feel honesty is better than lying. Can we not be like husband and wife in general. I know I have obligations with you but I''m not ready to do all that. I can''t serve________"


    "Don''t continue anymore," Dino interrupted quickly. "Husband and wife relationships are not just about the bed. You can ignore me but don''t ignore Hanin. My one request, don''t hurt Hanin''s heart."


    "I promise you I won''t hurt Hanin. I will treat him like my own child."


    "But never stop me from doing my duty. I will provide for you even if you own a lot of money. I keep sending money to your account every month. Consider it a living. You cannot refuse this."


    "Sorry," Rere squeaked softly.


    "There''s nothing to apologize for."


    "I can''t accept you yet."


    "I know. You don''t need to tell me."


    "Dino, I have to explain it to you."


    "There''s nothing to explain." Dino looked at Rere''s face. Very beautiful and shining.


    "We have to talk."


    "There''s nothing we need to talk about anymore."


    "It''s about us."


    "What''s there to talk about?"


    "Marriage isn''t for a day or two. It''s for a lifetime."


    "So?" Dino cut off Rere''s words.


    "We don''t love each other."


    "Time that will make us love each other."


    "It''s useless to talk to you." Rere was annoyed and then left in front of Dino.


    "Where are you going?" Dino pretended to ask. Smiling at his wife''s annoyance.


    "None of your business. I''m sick of seeing you," Rere shouted back.


    "Rere, stay here. Someone will kidnap you later." Dino teased Rere again. For some reason he could smile when he saw the anger on Rere''s face.


    "There are no kidnappers here. I''m not a child you can lie to."


    "But you can already make children."


    "Watch your mouth, Dino."


    "I''m giving you a challenge."


    "What?"


    "Stop me talking!"


    "How to?"


    "Think for yourself, but I have an idea."


    "What?"


    "Kiss me. I''ll stop talking."


    "Shit!"

 Chapter 68 - Reres Perverted Brain

    "There''s nothing we need to talk about anymore."


    "It''s about us."


    "What''s there to talk about?"


    "Marriage isn''t for a day or two. It''s for a lifetime."


    "So?" Dino cut off Rere''s words.


    "We don''t love each other."


    "Time that will make us love each other."


    "It''s useless to talk to you." Rere was annoyed and then left in front of Dino.


    "Where are you going?" Dino pretended to ask. Smiling at his wife''s annoyance.


    "None of your business. I''m sick of seeing you," Rere shouted back.


    "Rere, stay here. Someone will kidnap you later." Dino teased Rere again. For some reason he could smile when he saw the anger on Rere''s face.


    "There are no kidnappers here. I''m not a child you can lie to."


    "But you can already make children."


    "Watch your mouth, Dino."


    "I''m giving you a challenge."


    "What?"


    "Stop me talking!"


    "How to?"


    "Think for yourself, but I have an idea."


    "What?"


    "Kiss me. I''ll stop talking."


    "Shit!"


    Rere was surprised when she entered the room to find Dino was in the middle of changing his clothes. She was blushing seeing Dino in his underwear. She could see Dino''s sculpted body from behind. Rere was nervous and she accidentally hit the table until the flower vase on it fell and broke when she tried to run away.


    Dino turned around. Smiling cutely seeing Rere''s nervousness.


    "I take it as a draw, Re," Dino said quietly. The man was indifferent when Rere saw his body.


    "What do you mean by draw?" Rere spoke loudly.


    "I''ve seen you naked_____"


    "Stop." Rere put her index finger on Dino''s face so he wouldn''t continue his words. Rere was embarrassed to remember the incident.


    "Are you embarrassed?" Dino stifled a laugh. He doesn''t want to offend his wife.


    "Stop asking if you know it. The food is ready." Rere puts her hands on her hips then goes back to the kitchen, leaving Dino in the room. Rere used to live in the castle now.


    *****


    Angga threw his cellphone on the table when he saw Tia''s post on social media. Tia uploaded Rere and Dino''s wedding photos. Angga''s heart cracked and shattered into pieces when he read the post.


    During lunchtime, Angga came to Bara''s Corporation office to meet Tia. He was waiting at the reception desk and blocks Tia when the girl comes out.


    "Tia, we need to talk." Angga pulled Tia''s arm.


    "Keep your hands away from my future wife." Daniel, Tia''s fiance, was furious. He doesn''t like it when his woman is touched by another man.


    "Daniel, calm down." Tia suppresses her future husband''s emotions. The man was calm when Tia touched his chest.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Tia looks at Angga.


    "This is about Rere. I want to talk to you privately. I need an explanation."


    "Okay. Fine."


    "But, dear_____" Daniel protested.


    "Wait a moment, dear," Tia speaks softly.


    "What do you want to talk about?" Tia asked as they sat in the restaurant.


    Daniel sat at the next table, glaring at Angga who was talking to Tia while sipping a cold drink.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that Rere was married to Dino?" Angga shows Tia''s posts on social media.


    "Why does it have anything to do with you?" Tia looked surprised.


    "Of course it has something to do with me. You know that Rere and I are dating."


    "You are not sick," Tia said as she touched Angga''s forehead with the back of her hand. Her actions triggered Daniel''s jealousy. The man burped makes Tia realize that her lover is jealous. "I am just checking Angga''s body temperature, in case he is sick or not, dear," said Tia, explaining.


    Angga frowned at the silliness of the two lovebirds. Although he was also envious of their interaction.


    "You are not sick," said Tia casually with a smile.


    "What do you mean?" Angga began to get angry.


    "You and Rere are no longer lovers ever since you tried to rape her. Rere really hates you."


    "I was under the influence of alcohol at the time." Angga still cannot accept it and started to defend himself.


    "Your excuse is unacceptable. You already know that you are a weak drinker, but you drink instead."


    "I''m frustrated, Tia. Rere is getting away from me. She doesn''t pick up my call and reply to my text message."


    "You''re wrong there. You don''t understand Rere. She just needs time. She is in shock that she was almost killed when she saved Gesa."


    "Tia, why did you change?"


    "What do you mean? Me? Change?"


    "Usually, if I''m wrong, you always remind me, but why did you just keep mum when I almost rape Rere? If you said that from the beginning, maybe the problem wouldn''t be this serious." Angga snorted in annoyance as he threw the blame at Tia.


    "You will still leave Rere when she says she made a mistake and made love with another man. Why should I rebuke you since I already know the ending? You''ll leave Rere when you find out she slept with another guy. You are like this because you feel guilty for raping Rere. You felt that she was tarnished. Rere decided to forget about you since that incident. You don''t know how she got through her days at that time? Rere was broken. She is very disappointed with you. You should be his protector, not a monster who wants to take her happiness away." Tia''s intonation is loud. She tried to contain his emotions.


    "We love each other. Why did she have to marry that man? I accept Leon as my son. I will treat Leon like my own son. I accepted Leon because he is Rere''s son."


    "Don''t talk about love, Angga. Your relationship with Rere is over. Rere is already married to Leon''s biological father."


    "That bastard doesn''t deserve to be Leon''s father. Why wasn''t he responsible in the first place? He came when the wound was starting to heal."


    "If you don''t know the truth, just keep your mouth shut. It''s not that Mr. Dino doesn''t want to be responsible but ___________"


    "But what?" Even if it sucks.


    "He doesn''t know that Rere was pregnant."


    "You lie!"


    "Rere never told the man she was pregnant. She just found out about her pregnancy when she was six months pregnant."


    "What?" Angga was shocked. He slumped down to the floor.


    What''s Rere thinking? Why didn''t she ask the man to be responsible for impregnating her? Many girls out there would report the man who doesn''t want to be responsible for their child to the police.


    What''s wrong with Rere?


    *****


    Rere was shocked when she saw someone entering her room. She had just finished taking a shower so she just wrapped a towel around her body. Dino came inside the room while grinning. The man approached her then grabbed her head with both hands and immediately gave her a hot passionate kiss.


    Rere needed time to balance Dino''s kiss. He picked her up and sat her on the sofa. Rere sat on Dino''s lap as they continued to kiss each other hungrily. They exchanged saliva and then intertwined their tongues and took a deep sip. Dino broke their kiss since they are out of breath. The man kissed her forehead and then down to Rere''s cheeks, nape, and neck.


    Rere was overwhelmed by Dino''s behavior. The man gave an intoxicating touch to every part of her body. She was overwhelmed from serving Dino''s passion which was getting more unsettling every passing second. The man removed the towel that covered Rere''s body. He inhaled Rere''s scent greedily. The smell of Rere''s body always made him crave for more.


    Dino lifted her body and laid her down on the bed. Rere''s chest swelled as Dino spread her legs. The man stroked Rere''s hidden treasure and then lowered his face there before he started to lick it slowly. Dino pamper treatment awakens the nerve cells in Rere''s body.


    "Ahhhh¡­." Rere''s moan escaped her lips as Dino''s tongue move became more intoxicating and lively every second. Rere can only close her eyes and squeeze the bed sheet when she feels Dino''s tongue playing and teasing her forbidden area.


    Rere awoke from her sleep as she looked at Dino who was snoring next to her. As usual, their bed was divided into two separate parts by the bolsters. At first, Rere didn''t want to sleep in the same room as Dino, but because she was afraid of cockroaches, they ended up sleeping in the same room and bed.


    Rere hit her head as she broke out in cold sweat.


    "Why am I like this? I''ve had two naughty dreams. It''s so embarrassing," Rere cursed in a low voice while looking at Dino who was still asleep.


    Rere rushed to the bathroom and washed her face.


    "I really need to wash my brain. Why am I getting more perverted?" Rere looked in the mirror. She felt like their make love session was real even though it was just a dream. Is this the effect of seeing Dino''s naked body from behind?

 Chapter 69 - Accidental Touch

    Dino curled up in the blanket since the weather is very cold. Dino cursed Bara for bringing him to this island as his body shivered from the cold. This place is perfect for newlywed couples to make love. If Dino and Rere were like any normal married couple they would probably spend a lot of time in their room, sharing mutual warmth and satisfaction.


    Dino slowly opened his eyes, chuckling in annoyance because he couldn''t find someone beside him, the place next to him was empty. Rere was gone. Dino got up from the bed, took a sweater, and put it on. He doesn''t know where his wife went, if only they were really on their honeymoon, it would be very beautiful and fun to make out right after waking up. Hugging Rere tightly, caressing that beautiful body, and making love.


    Dino reached the kitchen and found that the food was already there, but he still cannot find his wife there. Since the food is ready to eat, Dino took the corn fritter Rere made and ate it.


    "What a strange woman. She said she would not do her duty as a wife but she keeps preparing food for me." Dino grumbled while chewing the corn fritter.


    "It is tasty. It turns out that the arrogant girl can cook too." Dino giggled.  He still couldn''t believe he had married a young girl like Rere. Dino indeed became energetic as soon as he married Rere, he felt like he was at the same age as Rere.


    "Oh, it''s delicious," Dino giggled, putting the second corn fritter into his mouth. The corn fritter was still warm so it was very good to eat in this cold weather.


    "Rere, where are you?'' Dino looked around the room. He got up and looked for Rere in every corner of the resort but couldn''t find her.


    Dino stepped out of the resort since he was sure that Rere wasn''t inside. The man walked towards the beach to find Rere. The man halted his steps when he saw Rere''s slippers on the beach and started to panic for not seeing Rere.


    "Where are you, Rere?" Dino became extremely panicked and decided to step into the water immediately. Rere could have committed suicide and drown herself in the sea.


    Dino started to dive and swim around. The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rere floating in a sleeping position. Rere spread her arms. Her face looks peaceful and there is a slight smile on her lips. That smile turned Dino''s world upside down as if Dino was sucked into another dimension. Love doesn''t exist, yet but he cares for the girl so much and the desire to protect Rere is getting bigger every day.


    Strange woman. Dino grumbled.


    The man just stared at Rere without wanting to disturb her. Rere seems to be in her own world and does not even flinch when Dino approaches her.


    Rere feels peaceful and serene as she was thrown into a world of comfort and relief. Wanting to forget the dirty dreams that swirled in her mind. It was the second time she dreamed of making love to Dino. Rere wanted to clear her brain by floating in the sea.


    Rere was enjoying her time when Dino started to disturb her.


    "What are you doing?" Dino nudged Rere''s arm.


    The woman was shocked and turned over. Rere lost her balance and almost drowned in the sea. Dino immediately tried to grab his wife''s arm, but Rere''s unexpected movement made the man unable to see properly as he tried to grab her. Dino grasped Rere''s chest that made the woman scream hysterically.


    "Aaaah...." Rere screamed as she hit the water violently. The seawater splashed in Dino''s eyes.


    Rere feels that she was harassed by Dino and begins to climb onto Dino''s back then hits Dino''s back and grabs his hair.


    "Aaaaaaaa." Dino also shouted pitifully.


    Rere put all her strength into hitting her husband. The man was rendered helpless. It''s not that he can''t fight back but he chooses to give in. Rere''s emotions did not subside until Dino dragged her to the shore.


    Rere was so annoyed as she threw sand into Dino''s eyes, making the man''s eyes sting.


    "What are you doing, Re? You''re so rude."


    "You are the one at fault. If you hadn''t groped me I wouldn''t have acted like this."


    "You can politely tell me, I''m still your husband!" Dino scolded Rere. His wife''s actions were outrageous. Dino was not going to let her step on his pride as a man.


    "Don''t scold me!" Rere pushed Dino until the man fell against a coconut tree.


    "I''m not scolding you," Dino replied in a deep voice.


    "If you don''t scold that what was that?" Rere said as she showed a sour face and covered her chest with both of her hands.


    "You can talk to me nicely."


    "I can not talk nicely with you. Why did you grope my breast?"


    "I''m not groping your breast. It''s a reflex, I''m trying to help you. You''re the only one who started to move around so I accidentally grabbed your breast."


    "Are you happy to touch me? How many times have I told you not to touch me!" Rere emphasized her voice.


    "You don''t make any sense, Rere. I''m your husband. It''s normal for a husband to touch his wife."


    "You''re a coward!" Rere leaves Dino as she enters the resort. She entered the room and locked the door from the inside.


    Dino knocked on the door but Rere didn''t want to open it.


    "Rere, open the door." Dino banged loudly on the door.


    "I don''t want to."


    "We must talk."


    "Whatever."


    "Rere¡­"


    "I don''t want to. Please don''t force me." Rere slumped down and leaned against the door.


    Without them knowing. Dino was also sitting on the floor, leaning against the door. If only they knew how romantic they are right now.


    "Re," Dino called his wife.


    "What?"


    "Don''t be furious. You''ll grow old sooner."


    "Stop talking!"


    "Do you want me to teach you another function of your lips?" Dino burst into laughter after saying that.


    "Don''t be perverted. You always break your own words. You broke our agreement."


    "I never remember I made a promise to you. Sorry, if I''m not what you expected. I don''t want to mess with our marriage. You are my wife and I want to make you the queen in my heart even though I don''t love you, yet. Love comes from simple things. Did you know about Bara and Dila''s love story? Their story is more tragic than ours. Bara used to be gay, but then he became normal because he has a wife like Dila. Now they are happy with their three children. Our story is not as tragic as theirs. The thing that happened in the morning after we slept together was just a misunderstanding. "


    "Forget it. Don''t talk about the past. I want to forget it."


    "I thank you for what you did that night. I will always say it so the wound in your heart will heal. I want to heal your wound. I want to give it a try to our relationship, Re. Can''t we put these emotions aside and try being a normal husband and wife?"


    Rere didn''t answer. Dino''s words slapped her heart. She felt guilty but was too proud to admit it.


    "Re, open the door. I''m cold after swimming in the sea. I will catch a cold if I wear wet clothes for too long. Have you changed your clothes?" Dino stopped his speech. "Or did you not wear anything back there? I''m also ready for that."


    "Dino," Rere complained. She thought Dino imagined her naked body without clothes.


    "Since we are married, it is better to call me by another nickname besides my name. You can call me honey, baby, hubby, dear, or maybe darling." Dino repeated his advice again.


    "Oh, why are you so chatty as a husband?" Dino asked himself.


    "Welcome to Indonesia. It''s time for forced marriage. I don''t want to get married but I was forced to. Now I''m forced to go on a honeymoon. Instead of being happy, it''s just full of fight," said Rere singing in a moderate tone viral on the tik tok app.


    "Your voice is good, Re," said Dino honestly.


    Rere was still sullen, unaffected by her husband''s praise.


    Rere opened the door for Dino, unable to bear her husband getting cold. The cold air engulfed and hit her skin, makes Rere suddenly shivered.


    "Thank you, dear," Dino said when Rere opened the door.


    Rere only replied to her husband with a low hum. The woman opened the cupboard and took clothes and towels. She also threw a towel at Dino.


    "I take a shower first, then you can take a shower." Rere put on a fierce face like a lion.


    "Yes, dear."


    "Don''t peek." Ree gave a warning.


    "Yes, dear. Why do I have to peek when I have seen everything."


    "Stop talking." Rere was furious again.

 Chapter 70 - Reres Story

    "Dino," Rere complained. She thought Dino imagined her naked body without clothes.


    "Since we are married, it is better to call me by another nickname besides my name. You can call me honey, baby, hubby, dear, or maybe darling." Dino repeated his advice again.


    "Oh, why are you so chatty as a husband?" Dino asked himself.


    "Welcome to Indonesia. It''s time for forced marriage. I don''t want to get married but I was forced to. Now I''m forced to go on a honeymoon. Instead of being happy, it''s just full of fight," said Rere singing in a moderate tone viral on the tik tok app.


    "Your voice is good, Re," said Dino honestly.


    Rere was still sullen, unaffected by her husband''s praise.


    Rere opened the door for Dino, unable to bear her husband getting cold. The cold air engulfed and hit her skin, makes Rere suddenly shivered.


    "Thank you, dear," Dino said when Rere opened the door.


    Rere only replied to her husband with a low hum. The woman opened the cupboard and took clothes and towels. She also threw a towel at Dino.


    "I take a shower first, then you can take a shower." Rere put on a fierce face like a lion.


    "Yes, dear."


    "Don''t peek." Ree gave a warning.


    "Yes, dear. Why do I have to peek when I have seen everything."


    "Stop talking." Rere was furious again.


    "Speaking to me with the tone and I''ll bite you later," Dino teased, laughing at Rere.


    "Annoying." Rere ran to the bathroom. She rushed to the bathroom when she didn''t realize her bra fell to the floor.


    Dino laughed while picking up Rere''s bra. He lifted the black bra with a simple design into the air.


    "I''m not interested in you. I''m more interested in the thing you cover," Dino said to the bra, laughing mockingly.


    A few moments later Rere''s yell was heard from the bathroom.


    "Dino." Rere''s voice was loud like she was calling a vendor in the street.


    "What?" Dino shouted back.


    "Help me, " said Rere shyly from behind the door. She is too proud to ask for help but if she doesn''t ask for help, it will be harder for her. How could she not wear a bra?


    "What?" Dino shouted as well.


    "Dino." Rere still hesitated to ask for help.


    "Try to speak clearly, Rere."


    "I don''t know ''it'' fell or I forgot to take ''it'' to the bathroom."


    "What do you mean with ''it''?" Dino actually knew what his wife was talking about but naughty plans had entered his mind.


    "I forgot to bring my bra. Could you bring it to me, Din," he said quickly.


    "Why are you wearing a bra? For a healthy sleep, you don''t have to wear a bra when you sleep."


    "Stop pretending to know everything. Just give me my bra!" Rere whined like a child.


    "What if I don''t want to?" Dino is even tempting.


    "Okay then. I will stay here until you give me one," Rere grumbled in an irritated tone.


    "Yes, yes." Dino got up and started doing what Rere asked him. If Rere stayed in the bathroom, he wouldn''t be able to shower.


    Dino took his wife''s bra and bring it to her. He knocked softly on the bathroom door.


    "Re, it''s here" Dino held out a bra.


    Rere just opened the bathroom door a little and her hand quickly caught the bra Dino had given her.


    Dino wanted to see his wife but Rere smacked his head first.


    "Don''t be a pervert," said Rere before closing the bathroom door tightly.


    Rere immediately put on her clothes. The bathroom is in an open area and does not have a roof. After getting dressed she sat contemplating in the bathroom.


    The night breeze was refreshing and chilling at the same time. Rere looked up and saw the stars clinging to the night sky with few moving clouds. The crescent moon also radiated its dim light. Rere smiled looking up at the stars in the sky.


    "Rere," called Dino knocking on the door. "I also want to take a shower. I am starting to feel cold."


    "Why did you always disturb me? Just wait a minute," Rere said, opening the bathroom door. She moved out to give Dino a chance to take a shower.


    "Don''t want to accompany me to the bath, Re? At least give me a back rub?" Tease Dino again.


    Rere didn''t reply to Dino''s tease. She raised her leg indicating she wanted to kick Dino as the man hurriedly closed the bathroom door before Rere exploded.


    A few moments later Dino was dressed neatly. The man decided to change clothes in the bathroom instead. He didn''t want to make Rere shock again.


    "Shall we have a BBQ?" Invite Dino while drying his hair with a towel. "We can grill some corn as well."


    "Great idea." Rere was so excited.


    They decided to BBQ by the beach and hurriedly prepare tools for the BBQ. Dino turned on the portable gas stove while Rere put the skillet down and grilled the seasoned wagyu beef. They will also use some chicken and sausage beside the meat.


    The grilled wagyu gives out a mouth-watering fragrance that makes Dino''s stomach rumble with hunger. He was looking forward to tasting the BBQ.


    Dino and Rere ate frantically. They don''t even know how much meat goes into their stomachs. As if he wasn''t full, Dino burned corn for dessert.


    Rere burped and she immediately took a drink of water. After that, she sat beside Dino as her eyes stared straight at the open sea with a smile. It is undeniable that there is a feeling of happiness staying in a place as comfortable as this island. For the first time, Rere feels happy to set foot on the exotic island. This is Rere''s longest vacation without bringing Leon. Since becoming a mother, she has been busy taking care of Leon. She always carries Leon wherever she goes, which makes her unable to part from Leon even for a day.


    Rere walked to the beach but Dino grabbed her hand.


    "Where are you going?"


    "I am going to a club," Rere hissed in annoyance. "Of course I am going to the beach, Dino."


    "But you''ve done that today."


    "I want more." Rere pulled away but Dino pulled her back until their bodies were pressed together.


    It''s dangerous! Rere feels the dangerous signal from her body. She was alone with Dino. Although they are legally husband and wife, they are still awkward. Rere tried to make a space to reduce the awkwardness. They looked at each other as both of their hearts were beating faster. There was a swish they felt when they were close, to be more precise their bodies were touching each other. The touch of skin to skin is so intoxicating especially when it''s just the two of them here. The atmosphere is quite supportive for them to make love.


    The twinkling stars make the atmosphere more romantic. They will make a great photo if someone takes their picture from above. Dino smoothed Rere''s hair behind her ear.


    "Can you let me go?"


    "What if you don''t want to?" Dino whispered in Rere''s ear causing Rere''s body to shiver.


    "Dino," Rere whispered in an irritated voice. She wanted to hit Dino but her hand was restrained. The man was very strong and Rere couldn''t break free.


    "Why did you always avoid me, Re? Are you afraid of falling in love with me?"


    "You''re too confident."


    "Don''t distance yourself, just stay close to me." Dino hugged Rere in his arms. As He hugs Rere, Dino felt the warm and cozy feeling, as if his world is peaceful and calm. Dino is addicted to Rere''s intoxicating scent that makes him want to smell it.


    "Let go of me, No." Rere hit Dino''s chest.


    "I do not want to. I want to let go of other things but not you," replied Dino in a spoiled tone. He acts like a child.


    "Stop acting cute." Rere managed to escape from Dino as she walks away and creates a distance between them.


    Dino approached her but Rere gave a signal for him to stop.


    "Do not come close!"


    "Why?"


    "Don''t ask again. I don''t like you when you are flirty like this."


    "Why don''t you try to get to know me? My character?"


    "You just want to flirt with me. I have rejected you from the start. Never force me to love you. Please¡­." Rere started to cry. "Why are you forcing me?"


    Dino was shocked to see his wife crying. He can feel that he care and sympathy for her. He just tries to flirt with Rere but the woman was sobbing because of it. Dino couldn''t imagine how many tears fall from her eyes when she was pregnant with Leon. She pregnant without a husband by her side. How could Rere deal with another person who questioned the father of her baby?


    "Rere, I''m sorry," said Dino regretfully. "I promise I won''t do it again."

 Chapter 71 - Baras Fantasi

    "Let go of me, No." Rere hit Dino''s chest.


    "I do not want to. I want to let go of other things but not you," replied Dino in a spoiled tone. He acts like a child.


    "Stop acting cute." Rere managed to escape from Dino as she walks away and creates a distance between them.


    Dino approached her but Rere gave a signal for him to stop.


    "Do not come close!"


    "Why?"


    "Don''t ask again. I don''t like you when you are flirty like this."

    _______________________________


    Bara ambushed Dila from behind and then licked Dila''s nape. His hands were playing on Dila''s breasts as he twists them gently until Dila starts to moan in pleasure.


    "Ahh¡­.," Another moan escape Dila''s lips. Bara is very good at foreplay and makes Dila feel like she was sent flying to another world. Bara''s touch is so intoxicating and soothing. Don''t blame Dila if she enjoys and loves Bara''s game. The man always made her squirm in passion.


    "Bara." Dila turned around and stop Bara''s lips who was about to kiss her lips.


    Bara chuckled in annoyance that Dila stopped her naughty move.


    "What?" His eyes bulged.


    "The kids will find us. They haven''t slept yet."


    "They won''t. The triplet knows that their dad misses their mom so much. My lovely wife."


    " But Bara?" Dila pleaded for her husband''s understanding.


    "I''m stressed thinking about work, Dila. You have to help me relieve my stress. I''m very ¡­." Bara''s hand gently caressed Dila''s waist and then moved up. The man slips his hand inside Dila''s clothes. He always loves his wife''s soft and smooth skin.


    Dila was shocked. She tried to ward off her husband''s hand. It''s not that she doesn''t want to serve Bara but here is not the right place. Dila was preparing dinner in the kitchen when the man came and ambushed her.


    Bara smiled as he carried Dila and laid her at the dinner table.


    "Bara, not here, Let''s go to the room." Dila got up but Bara pushed her to lie down.


    "I want to change the mood," Bara smirked taking off the dress Dila was wearing. "I was tired of being in the room all the time."


    "Bara if you really do it here. I will be really angry." Dila gave a threat.


    Bara stopped his activities. He opened the refrigerator and took a cup of ice cream. After that, he carried his wife to his room. Do you think Bara will carry Dila in bridal style? No, the man carried Dila like a sack of rice.


    "What the hell, Bar?" Dila grumbled, irritated at the man.


    Bara took her to the room and lowered Dila on the bed gently and slowly. The man gives her another hot, intoxicating kiss.


    Dila''s eyes narrowed. She froze for a while since she was too surprised. Even after several years of marriage, she still finds Bara''s attitude was beyond her expectations. The man''s fantasy is so wild when they make love. Dila breathed heavily as Bara''s touch spread throughout her body. The feeling is getting more and more intoxicating. Dila closed her eyes enjoying every touch in her body.


    The man explored every corner of Dila''s lips. He sucked in deeply and entered Dila''s mouth. He missed Dila''s teeth one by one and sucked his wife''s tongue deeply. Dila groaned feeling a strange tingling in her body. She feels hot and stifling.


    Dila reflexively held Bara''s hand when the man squeezed her chest. Dila could not contain the explosion of passion that from second to second more tempestuous.


    Dila moved restlessly when Bara took off her panties. She could feel the air against her bare open skin. Bara also took off Dila''s bra. She was in her birthday suit now. Dila could not move when the man stared at every inch of her body. She never expected they would start foreplay in the kitchen. Luckily, they were alone now so it was safe to do so.


    Bara smiled at Dila. The woman did not understand why Bara smiled at her. Bara then took the ice cream, ate the ice cream a little, and then kissed Dila. The ice cream melted in Dila''s mouth.


    "Bara. What are you doing?" Dila questioned her husband''s actions.


    "You need to be quiet and enjoy what I do next." Bara dripped the ice cream all over his wife''s body, Dila''s body swelled with cold.


    Bara took off his pants until he was completely naked. Bara smirked then lowered her head to Dila''s stomach. The man licked the ice cream he had spilled there. He began to lick the ice from Dila''s neck and then down to her breast, stomach, and keep moving down.


    "Bar, huh." Dila squeezed the bedsheet firmly when the sensation started to hit her, she could only feel the amusement and pleasure. She cannot describe her exact feeling right now. Dila''s heart was pounding in her chest.


    " Bar, don''t." Dila forbade him when Bara''s tongue moved near her private part. She was disgusted with the thought.


    Dila gasped when she felt a warm and supple sensation engulf the hidden part of her body. Dila''s amusement and pleasure cannot be described in words when Bara''s tongue pampers her there.


    "Ahhhh," shouted Dila breathlessly. She felt Bara''s fingers had replaced his tongue. Dila is getting mad. The finger moved in and out, giving a sensation of extraordinary pleasure.


    "Bara," Dila breathed out. She squirmed, feeling the heat that spread throughout her body. Bara''s hand moved nimbly down there, making her flustered.


    "Ahhhh yes..." Dila''s sigh finally came out. Dila enjoyed everything Bara do for her. Bara''s tongue and fingers alternately provide a surge of pleasurable sensation.


    Bara stopped his activities since he wanted to see Dila''s expression after receiving his treatment. Dila''s flush red face was filled with a worried expression. Dila''s protruded breast was so tempting as Bara bent down and play with the woman''s breasts. The woman screamed when Bara''s tongue starting to play with her nipple.


    Dila is restless as she starts to make irregular movements. Bara stopped moving her tongue and connect their body in one powerful thrust. He moved so fast that Dila moaned and grabbed his hair. The man''s movements were getting rougher but Dila felt more pleasure. A warm and hot sensation hit her.


    Bara squirmed, feeling the warmth of Dila''s uterine wall. Bara enjoys Dila''s grip in there since it''s warm and intoxicating.


    Dila tried to hold Bara''s hand because his movements were getting wilder. Her body jerked as Bara''s thrust became faster and stronger.


    "Ahhhh." Dila felt something approaching her as it got hotter and hotter. Sweat dripped from her body as she feels like she flies into a peaceful world.


    Dila took a breath to neutralize the tension, finally, something escaped from her, giving her tremendous relief and throwing her into a world that is so comfortable and indulgent.


    Bara lowered the tempo to give Dila room to breathe, enjoying the waves of satisfaction for a few moments. Then slowly Bara moved wildly. He groaned when he feels Dila''s inside squeeze his member. Bara squeezed Dila''s breast tightly and then kissed her, left Dila covered with marks all over her body. Bara keeps thrusting inside Dila until she hissed with satisfaction. The man smiled with pleasure and lay on top of Dila''s body in sweat.


    Bara saw Dila breathed a sigh of relief the woman stroked his hair while wiping her husband''s sweat.


    The ringing of the cell phone irritates Bara. He got up with his naked body and picked up the phone.


    "What is wrong?" Bare answered the phone fiercely.


    "Dino and Rere had a big fight, sir." Bara''s men who were assigned to monitor Rere and Dino gave a report.


    "A fight?" Bara huffed in annoyance. Why did he get such an unpleasant report? "Why are they fighting?"


    "Rere got angry when Dino came close and touched her."


    "Oh, my God." Bara massaged his temples. He turned off the phone in annoyance.


    "What is wrong?" asked Dila covering her body with a blanket. she wants to take a shower.


    "Rere and Dino. They had another fight."


    "Leave them alone. Let''s not interfere," Dila said before going to the bathroom.


    Bara pulled Dila''s hand, "Where are you going?"


    "I want to take a bath. My body is sticky."


    "Later."


    "Why?"


    "One more round."


    "What?" Dila stares at Bara with her wide eyes.

 Chapter 72 - Broken Heart

    The last few days Gesa couldn''t sleep. She could barely close her eyes. Her body was still lying on the soft mattress with her eyes closed as if she didn''t want to end the night. Her memory can still remember clearly the night of Ananya''s accident. Everything was so eerie and scary.


    "Please, take care of my husband and daughter!" Ananya said in a breathless voice.


    Ayana''s hopeful gaze kept appearing in Gesa''s head. The accident became a memory she will never forget as it is always replaying in her head. Gesa could feel that the sun was starting to peek out from the horizon from the light making its way through the cracks in the windows. The light reminds her that it was no longer night. Soft breathing could be heard from the person sleeping beside her. Gesa decided to return to Kuching City ? to meet her mother. Gesa''s mother missed her very much and asked her to sleep beside her. Whose mother does not miss her daughter after 3 years of separation?


    A smile tugged at Gesa''s lips. Still, with closed eyes, she moved her hands and gently tracing the curves of her mother''s face. She missed this woman, a woman who had given birth and raised her. She must be worried about not getting any message from her. Gesa''s mother had suspected that Gesa was the victim of a murder case whose body was not found. The weak old woman has given up if her daughter has truly passed away.


    Gesa felt the warm sunshine in her skin, as the sun started to greet the world. With a warm and gentle feeling, she woke her mother.


    "Mom, good morning." Gesa gently touched her mother''s arm.


    Gesa''s Mother rubbed her eyes and got up before she sat with her back against the wall. Since Gesa''s mother was really old, she prefers to lean on something since she doesn''t feel tired that way.


    "Sorry, Ge. I overslept."


    "It''s okay, mom. I know you are tired because of me. I won''t make you tired anymore."


    "I''ve missed my beautiful daughter so much. It''s only natural that we talk until midnight. I want to know a lot of things."


    Gesa lives in a village that has refreshing air, a place far from the hustle and bustle of the Kuching City. The village is a great place to release all the fatigue from work since it is comfortable enough to relax. For Gesa, her village is also a place that is safe enough to protect herself from the complexities of life''s problems. She can also relax in the village. Being in the village makes her feel an old nostalgic feeling the past few years. Gesa always misses the village. She decided to return to her mother''s house since she was heartbroken of Dino''s marriage. Gesa needs time to calm herself down.


    Last night, Gesa can feel everything clearly as the moon shyly appeared and the stars twinkled sharply without being covered by clouds. As the night deepened, she started to hear the sound of crickets and other animals cry from a faraway place. When the wind blew softly, when the walls and all inside the room fell into total silence, Gesa was lost in longing as she hugged her mother tightly and spilled everything in her heart.


    The longing for her mother''s presence was finally over. She was longing for her mother''s warm hug all this time. Even though she is an adult, Gesa still can''t stay away from her mother. Their circumstances forced her to leave the old woman. She hugged her mother tightly after so many years apart. No sound or word can be heard as Gesa enjoys her mother''s warmth. Gesa can only hear their irregular breaths fighting with the silence that is getting dense. A smile tugged at Gesa''s lips.


    "Ge, did you sleep well?"


    "I am, mom."


    "Don''t lie to me! I heard you called Ananya''s name in your sleep. You still remember that disastrous night. I understand how you feel."


    "I am not lying, ma''am. I''m OK. Don''t worry."


    "How could I not worry, you haven''t given me any news for three years."


    "Mother, I''m back now, so please don''t worry. Everything has passed and now I am safely back in front of you, mom."


    "You look so hopeless, child. What happened to you?"


    "I''m fine." Gesa still hides the wound in her heart. Last night she only talked about Ananya and her escape to Indonesia.


    "I gave birth to you, so please be honest with me. I will listen to your story. Is this related to Dino?"


    Gesa was silent, refusing to give an answer as both of them froze.


    "Dino has nothing to do with this¡­," Gesa''s hoarse voice immediately makes her mother send her a suspicious look.


    "Why don''t you try to be honest with me? Why? You don''t believe me anymore?" Gesa''s mother said.


    "Mom, it''s not like that, but I can''t talk to you about this. I have a hard time understanding this problem. I don''t want to make you worried over this matter. I don''t want you to fall sick just because you are thinking about this." Gesa speaks, trying to convince her mother.


    "I want to listen to everything. I know it''s not easy for you to bear everything."


    Gesa''s brow furrowed at the sound of his mother''s words. She cannot fool the old woman. Without saying anything, Gesa pulled the blanket and buried her body under the blanket. Gesa''s Mother pulled the blanket, forcing Gesa to look at her.


    "Why don''t you want to talk?"


    "Mother, I can''t say anything now. Give me time to calm myself down."


    "Why?" Gesa''s Mother asked in a disappointed tone.


    Gesa didn''t answer as she buried her face in her mother''s hug so she could feel her heart beating.


    "It hurts too much for me to say it, mother. My heart hurts," said Gesa stuttering as the tears suddenly fell without control.


    Gesa''s Mother stroked her daughter''s hair gently then said "Just tell your Mother. Maybe after you tell me, you will be calmer. You look so heartbroken. Is this related to Dino? Do you like Ananya''s husband?"


    Gesa trembled at her mother''s voice. A mother''s instinct is very strong and can''t be lied to. She will know when her daughter is telling the truth or lying. The girl was still hesitant to talk. She is uncomfortable talking about this topic. She was bringing her broken heart story instead of a piece of good news upon her arrival.


    "Do not hesitate to tell me, dear. Am I not the only place you can always turn into? I''m ready to be a good listener for you. Speak to me, Ge." Gesa''s Mother stroked her daughter''s cheek. She was full of worried and concern. She couldn''t stand doing nothing when she saw her daughter suffering. Her heart screamed when she knew Gesa almost became a murder victim. Dealing with powerful people is not easy. Gesa''s life is at stake.


    "Mother."


    "Yes. I''ve always dreamt of having a husband as good as Ananya''s husband. I used to admire him. I love the way the man treats his wife, very Romantic. Before Ananya died, her last wish was for me to look after Dino and Hanin. From that night on, I wanted to carry out Ananya''s last will as I started to love Dino. I''m not afraid to love him anymore since Dino has become a widower. Unfortunately, I could never be his wife. Dino had married another woman. I am so unlucky. Dino''s new wife is the woman who saved me and helped me all this time. Mother, why is fate so cruel to me? Why did my love story have a tragic ending?"


    "My poor beautiful daughter." The old woman hugged Gesa tightly. Her daughter was always unlucky.


    "I''m unfortunate, mom." Gesa wept bitterly. When she thought she could love a man, it turned out her love was one-sided.


    Is it wrong for Gesa to fantasize about becoming Dino''s wife? Is it wrong if she wants to carry out Ananya''s last will? Is it wrong for her to fall in love?


    The Asian brown-skinned girl pensively propped up on her chin with her left hand. Her tired eyes peeked through the slightly parted curtains as an uneasy sigh escaped her mouth. Every now and then she wiped away the tears that trickled down her smooth cheeks. Gesa wanted to stop crying, lamenting her pain because of Dino''s marriage. Why did Dino marry the woman who had saved her life? Gesa is not ungrateful. There is a child that ties Dino and Rere together. She felt like an idiot. Everyone knows Dino and Rere''s relationship in the past but keeps their silence and doesn''t tell her about it. Her tears welled up again, wetting her eyelids and the corners of her eyes. Her mother came closer and hugged her tightly as she wanted to share the pain Gesa feels. This heartbreak hurts Gesa.


    "You are not unfortunate, Ge,"


    "I''m unfortunate, mom."

 Chapter 73 - Life Must Go On

    "Mother."


    "Yes. I''ve always dreamt of having a husband as good as Ananya''s husband. I used to admire him. I love the way the man treats his wife, very Romantic.

    "You are not unfortunate, Ge,"


    "I''m unfortunate, mom."


    "You can''t talk like that. Don''t waste your time looking back at what has been lost. Move on, life is not meant to go backward. All you can do now is hoping, praying, dreaming, and fighting for love when it comes. But don''t put your life on hold waiting for love. You''re still young. There will be other men who want to be with you, don''t worry, daughter."


    "Really?" Gesa felt unsure of herself.


    Gesa stood up straight, facing the sky. She stretched out both her hands. Her long hair flew in the direction of the wind. A chuckle, which was actually a wail, escaped her lips. Her mother approached Gesa and touched her shoulder. The two of them stood in front of the window staring at the greenery of the trees and the blooming of flowers. Since Gesa''s house is located in a fresh temperature area, various trees and flowers flourish. The rice fields behind her house added to the beauty of the village. This place is perfect for escaping from the hustle and bustle of the capital city and the complexities of life.


    Gesa closed her eyes enjoying the village atmosphere. Dino''s face flashed in her memory. The man''s charm is so thrilling that makes women fell to their knees, a smile with dimples that always melts a woman''s defenses. Which woman is not tempted and wants to have that kind of man? Besides a great CEO for his company, Dino is also a good husband and father. He wanted to take turns taking care of Hanin with his wife. He pampers Ananya. Not only spoiling Ananya with his wealth but also his love. Where in this world can she find a husband who wants to comb his wife''s hair even though he is a CEO? He always wants to engage in every simple thing, a small but meaningful activity with his family. Gesa saw the happy and romantic family while working with Ananya.


    Rere feels jealous because Ananya is treated so sweetly. She then makes Dino the criteria for her dream husband. One day she wants to have a husband as good and handsome as Dino. When the opportunity to become Dino''s wife came, she still couldn''t have that man. No one knows people''s fate. Gesa wasn''t meant to be with Dino.


    *****


    Two men were watching Rere and Dino''s movements. They were both paid by Bara to watch over the newlywed. They shook their heads watching the quarrel. Instead of getting closer, they are fighting more frequently. The reason for their fight is of course  Rere''s arrogant attitude. One of them contacted Bara.


    "What is wrong?" asked Bara coldly.


    "Report sir. All turn to the worse. They are fighting and there is no romance development."


    "What have you done all this time? Can you even fail to do such a simple task?" Bara loosened his tie. The man was still in his office.


    "We were only monitoring them, sir, that''s all. Rere is stubborn and wants to win all the time. She is too arrogant."


    "This is really bad." Bara massaged his temples. Suddenly he feels dizzy.


    "That''s the end of the report, sir."


    "No matter what, you have to make them close to each other and develop a romantic feeling."


    "How, sir?"


    "Don''t make me think. You need to think about that yourself since I pay you for this, remember?" Bara became irritated.


    "Okay sir," the man said quickly and then hung up the phone.


    Bara put the phone on the table and smiled when he looked at her. As usual, Dila came to Bara''s office to bring her husband''s lunch. Dila stops working since the woman decided to become a housewife and take care of Bara and their three children. Bara was happy with Dila''s choice as he only wants Dila to spend his money.


    "Boss, why are you angry?" Dila asked while preparing food for her husband. She opened the stack of food containers and put the food on the plate.


    Bara approached and kissed his wife''s neck. He hugged Dila from behind like a romantic scene in a drama. As usual, the man inhaled Dila''s scent greedily.


    "Bar, your secretary will see us."


    "It''s okay. We can make love whenever we want to since we are husband and wife."


    "Stupid." Dila pinched her husband''s stomach.


    "It hurts dear. Why are you pinching me?" Bara smiled in dismay.


    "Why is your face so sour? What happened?"


    "No, nothing."


    "You lied to me."


    "Dear." Bara pinched his wife''s cheek in annoyance. "I really can''t fool you."


    "What is wrong?" Dila turned around, pulled Bara''s tie before she kissed his lips briefly then let him go.


    "You are the only one who can make me talk, you know?"


    "Of course, I can. I''m your wife, Bar."


    "It is about Rere and Dino."


    "Why? When are they coming back?"


    "They will be back in two days."


    "Then what''s the problem?"


    "They weren''t even close, they were fighting all the time."


    "It''s because your method is wrong, Bar. We can''t force them to be close to each other. Let them get close naturally. Why are you so insistent on their relationship?"


    "I did it for us."


    "Us?" Dila is confused.


    "I see there is love in Dino''s eyes for you. Even though you are cousins, ??but that man loved you once."


    "Gosh Bar. You are very possessive. Did you doubt my feelings for you?" Dila is not happy.


    Bara pouted as he shook his head. He took her hand and kissed it.


    "I never doubted your love, Dila. I''m just worried. Before Dino''s love for you grows bigger, I want to kill his feeling. I do it for all of us. Leon will also be reunited with his family."


    "From the start, your intentions were wrong, Bar. You shouldn''t have forced Rere to marry Dino even for the sake of a child."


    "I did it for Leon''s sake," Bara objected, taking a spoon, and stuffing the food into his mouth before he fed Dila. He led Dila to sit with him on the sofa and they eat together. Bara eats while feeding Dila. He ate the food voraciously since Dila''s cooking is very delicious. Bara always finishes all her wife''s cooking and doesn''t leave anything behind.


    Dila just silently watched her husband eat. She opened his mouth when Bara fed him food. Dila has something in her mind which is Dino and Rere''s marriage. They shouldn''t have gotten married so soon. Rere has to accept Dino into her life first.


    "Bar," Dila called softly, looking at her husband.


    "Hmmm." That was the only answer that came out of Bara''s mouth since he enjoys eating his food. He didn''t want to talk about anything while eating. His stomach was bloated from eating too much after he finished the food.


    "Thank you, dear. Your cooking is always delicious." Bara kissed his wife''s cheek.


    Dila cleaned up the plates of her husband''s food and wanted to take it to the pantry when Tia block her.


    "Just let me do that, sis." Tia called Dila ''sis'' because of Dila''s request. The woman did not want to be called Mrs or Madam because she felt it sounded too old. Dila feels that Tia''s boss is her husband, not her.


    "It''s okay?"


    "It''s okay, sis. You can spend your time with the boss." Tia smiled sweetly.


    "Thank you."

 Chapter 74 - Love Cant Be Forced

    "Gosh Bar. You are very possessive. Did you doubt my feelings for you?" Dila is not happy.


    Bara pouted as he shook his head. He took her hand and kissed it.


    "I never doubted your love, Dila. I''m just worried. Before Dino''s love for you grows bigger, I want to kill his feeling. I do it for all of us. Leon will also be reunited with his family."


    "From the start, your intentions were wrong, Bar. You shouldn''t have forced Rere to marry Dino even for the sake of a child."


    "I did it for Leon''s sake," Bara objected, taking a spoon, and stuffing the food into his mouth before he fed Dila. He led Dila to sit with him on the sofa and they eat together. Bara eats while feeding Dila. He ate the food voraciously since Dila''s cooking is very delicious. Bara always finishes all her wife''s cooking and doesn''t leave anything behind.


    Dila just silently watched her husband eat. She opened his mouth when Bara fed him food. Dila has something in her mind which is Dino and Rere''s marriage. They shouldn''t have gotten married so soon. Rere has to accept Dino into her life first.


    "Bar," Dila called softly, looking at her husband.


    "Hmmm." That was the only answer that came out of Bara''s mouth since he enjoys eating his food. He didn''t want to talk about anything while eating. His stomach was bloated from eating too much after he finished the food.


    "Thank you, dear. Your cooking is always delicious." Bara kissed his wife''s cheek.


    Dila cleaned up the plates of her husband''s food and wanted to take it to the pantry when Tia block her.


    "Just let me do that, sis." Tia called Dila ''sis'' because of Dila''s request. The woman did not want to be called Mrs or Madam because she felt it sounded too old. Dila feels that Tia''s boss is her husband, not her.


    "It''s okay?"


    "It''s okay, sis. You can spend your time with the boss." Tia smiled sweetly.


    "Thank you."


    Tia hurriedly went to the pantry with the dirty plate. However, when she just took a few steps, Dila''s call stopped her.


    "Yes, sis?" Tia turned to look at Dila with a confused look.


    "Tia, I need to talk to you privately."


    "When did you want to talk, sis?"


    "Later. After I finished my business here."


    "But I will be working at that time, sis."


    "Ask your boss''s permission then," Dila sneered as she pointed to her husband''s room.


    "Sis." Tia pleaded. She felt that there was something important that Dila wanted to talk to her about and the thought makes Tia''s heart beating wildly.


    "I''ll ask your boss for permission."


    "Good." Tia nodded then went to the pantry.


    Dila turned and went into Bara''s room. Her husband was busy playing with his cell phone while looking at the phone nervously. Busy in his own world, the man had not noticed his wife''s arrival when Dila sat next to her husband quietly. When Bara turned around and saw Dila, the man looked shocked and started to rub his chest.


    "Why are you look so surprised, bar?"


    "Dear. Why did you move without making any sound?" Bara cupped his wife''s cheeks.


    "You''re the one who''s busy playing with your mobile phone, and didn''t realize your wife was inside the room, Bar." Dila quipped her husband. "It seems that your cellphone is more important than me."


    "Honey, why are you acting like this?" Bara pinched his wife''s cheek.


    "It hurts, Aldebaran." Dila sounds serious.


    "Why are you angry?"


    "I''m not angry." Dila sits crossing her arms.


    Bara touched his wife''s shoulder. Dila looked away because she did not like her husband''s actions. Bara noticed that his wife has changed.


    "What is wrong?" he asked in a low, soft voice. Bara turned Dila''s face towards him. He looked deeply at his wife. "Were you angry about Rere and Dino?"


    Dila pouted, keeping her silence. For some reason, she couldn''t hide her disappointment with Bara. In the past, Dila was very clever and able to hide her emotions. She will look sweet even though her heart is hurt and disappointed. Now, she has changed. She cannot deal with Bara with her sweet mouth.


    "Yes. I don''t like how you do it, Bar."


    "Why? We also meet through an arranged marriage, dear. We are happy now."


    "Bar. We are different from them. I accepted the match for the sake of filial piety to my parents. You also accepted the arranged marriage to make your parents happy."


    "Everything is the same, dear."


    "We are totally different, Bar. We were married since we realize our age is not young anymore. We realized that it was the right time to get married and we understand that. You arrange Dino and Rere''s marriage for the sake of their child. I know you love Leon very much. You want him to have a complete parent. After becoming parents, we prioritize our children but we also have to be happy ourselves, Bar. Rere deserves to be happy. We cannot do this to Rere, Bar. She always meets a bad end when helping others. She lost her virginity in a very bad circumstance despite being under the influence of drugs. Even when you raped me, I was still in a better situation than Rere since the one who raped me was my own husband. Rere is happy living alone with Leon. In fact, we should let Dino approach Rere first before they get married. They could give Leon affection without being in a relationship. After that, everything will depend on their decision. You''ve meddled too much. I don''t want you to make any more plans to bring them together. Let their relationship flow like water. Don''t be jealous of Dino." She gave her husband a warning.


    "Why can''t I be jealous?"


    "Dino is not worthy of your envy. He''s my cousin, Bar. Dino is a man who finds it hard to fall in love. He still loves Ananya. Dino doesn''t like me, he just admires me because I take good care of his daughter. It''s just admiration. Love is like your feelings to me. You going crazy for losing me is love."


    Bara smiled happily. Dila''s comparison made him smile.


    "Why did you take me as an example?"


    "Because you are a slave to my love. Your love and affection for me are too big. You''re too scared to lose me."


    "I don''t want to lose you again. Once is enough. It''s been almost four years since I lost you."


    "Trust me," Dila looked at her husband with love. She took her husband''s hand and placed it on her chest, "This heartbeat belongs to you, Bar. I just love you the way you are. I don''t care about your past. We live in the present, not in the past. Throw away your thoughts that Dino loves me. Dino doesn''t love anyone since his heart still belongs to Ananya."


    "I believe you," he whispered softly as he hugged his wife. He embraced the body of the woman who had given him three children. "I love you so much. I do not want to lose you."


    "I know," Dila answered quickly. "But love me sanely," she continued.


    Bara let go of his wife, "So far, what kind of lover have I been to you?"


    "You are a crazy lover, Bar. You can go crazy because of love. You love me too much. It''s not good to love something too much. Naturally. It''s not just a third person who can separate us, even death can separate us.


    "Don''t say that." Bara lands his index finger on Dila''s lips, making her stop talking. "I know. I want us only to be separated by death. You have to promise me you won''t leave me again for any reason. Do not do that ever again even if it''s for my own good."


    "I promise."


    "Great." Bara gave a thumbs up for Dila.


    "Remember Bar. Love cannot be forced. We should let Rere and Dino''s love grow naturally. I believe Dino was able to melt Rere''s heart. I''m his sister and I know Dino. He can conquer Rere''s, stone-hard heart."


    "Why are you so sure?"


    "Of course I''m sure. I''ve lived with him for almost four years."


    "Why am I suddenly jealous when you say you have lived with him for almost four years?"


    "Oh my gosh, Bar." She chuckled, covering her face.


    Bara carried Dila into his private room. There is actually a bedroom to rest inside Bara''s office.


    Dila got up from the bed when Bara took off his shirt.


    "What are you doing, Bar?"


    "I''m stressed out, so I need you now."


    "I can''t, we don''t have enough time. I need to pick up the kids from school."


    "We can." Bara pulled his wife''s body and took off her clothes one by one.


    "Bar," Dila shouted accompanied by laughter.


    "It''s just a quickie." Bara fondles Dila hungrily before the man connects their bodies together.


    "Bar," Dila sighed, sounding sexy to Bara''s ears.

 Chapter 75 - A Talk With Tia

    Dila''s breath is irregular. Her heartbeat faster every second as the sweat dripped from her body. The heat of their burning passion overcame the cold of the air conditioner. Dila caught her breath and tied her hair. She felt hot because her whole body was wet with sweat. Bara lied to her. He said it would be a ''Quicky'' but instead, the man asked for two rounds. Bara was still lying limp in bed with his arms outstretched and his body was only covered by a blanket. Behind the blanket, the man was totally naked. He was very satisfied that he had taken his wife''s nectar. He smiled happily looking at Dila who was taking a towel in the cabinet.


    "Dear, where are you going?" he teased.


    "Take a shower," replied Dila.


    Bara hinted at Dila to come closer, when the woman approached him, Bara hugged Dila then kissed her cheek.


    "Thank you, dear." Bara said.


    "As a thank you, I want to take Tia out for a while to accompany me shopping. Can I?" Dila smilling.


    Bara could not refuse his wife''s wish as he agreed to Dila''s request. The woman went to the bathroom to clean herself. Bara rubbed his face roughly as he was sure that Dila brought Tia for a whole different reason than shopping, Dila must have other plans.


    After tidying up, Dila left Bara''s room. The man just waved his hand to sign his wife to go. Bara walked to the front door naked to say goodbye and locked the bedroom door after Dila left.


    "Let''s go Tia." Dila approached Tia''s table.


    Tia gawked at Dila''s wet hair. The girl immediately understood the reason her boss''s wife''s hair was wet. Dila must have finished washing her hair.


    "Don''t stand like a statue. You don''t seem to know your boss''s true nature." Dila smiled, hiding her embarrassment. Tia caught her having sex in the office.


    "I just shocked since I thought this kind of thing only happened in novels." Tia burst out laughing.


    "Your boss is the living proof."


    "Boss is a slave for your love, sis."


    "Let''s go." Dila took Tia''s hand as Tia hastily took the bag.


    Dila swerved through the streets of the capital. Tia looked at her boss''s wife with an incomprehensible look. Dila stopped in front of a boutique as she shopped for clothes. "Tia, let''s choose which clothes do you want?"


    "What do you mean?" Tia was dumbfounded, she cannot understand why Dila bought her clothes. Tia hesitates because the clothes in this boutique are expensive since they are branded goods.


    "It''s my treat." Dila pulled Tia''s hand and asked her to choose some clothes.


    "Don''t bother, sis."


    "I am. This shirt is not that expensive," Dila said casually.


    Tia looked away slowly. How much does it cost? Her brow furrowed when she saw the price of the ''Zoro'' brand shirt. Rich people are really reckless since two digit clothes are like nothing to them.


    "Why did you do this, sis? You are really suspicious."


    "You must be suspicious. Fine,  actually you can consider this a bribe," Dila said, chuckling and laughing. Dila chose some clothes for her and Bara. Every time she went shopping, Dila always bought clothes for her husband. Even though the man didn''t ask for it.


    Tia was forced to choose a shirt that was quite cheap for the brand standard. Tia knows that she needs to be mindful. If Daniel had bought it for her, she probably wouldn''t have refused, but this is his boss''s wife and she doesn''t want to be seen as outrageous.


    Dila took out a ''black card'' from her purse when they made payments at the cashier. Tia gawked at Dila''s black card. She looked at the card with envy. She couldn''t imagine how rich Bara is since the man has many black cards. Rere also has that card. Tia knows if Dila is rich too. Usually, the upper class will marry people from their circle. Only in novels, a poor girl gets a CEO''s husband. In real life, the CEO has criteria for a prospective wife.


    Dila and Bara were married through an arranged marriage. Their parents definitely did not carelessly choose a partner for their child. They will consider the quality, origin, and rank.


    Dila also brought Tia to a gelato shop. They already had their lunch so they didn''t want to eat a heavy meal. Dila chose durian-flavored gelato. Tia chose green tea-flavored gelato.


    "What do you want to talk about, sis?" Tia asked suspiciously. She doesn''t feel good about this since she was sure that Dila was trying to dig up some information from her.


    "You must be very suspicious of me, Ya." Dila calls the girl ''Ya''.


    "It''s because you are weird, sis." Tia laughs showing her teeth.


    "Weird?"


    "You don''t behave like you normally do." Tia burst out laughing.


    "What''s wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" Tia got straight to the point.


    "Tell no one that I bribe you with some clothes earlier."


    "How could you guess my mind?" Tia was embarrassed because Dila could read her easily.


    "I want to ask about Rere and Dino."


    "What''s wrong with Rere?" Tia stops eating as she wiped the rest of the gelato from her mouth. Their topic discussion is quite heavy since it is about Rere and Dino. Hmmmmm. Tia can already guess what Dila wants to ask.


    "I know you are close to Rere. I just want to know something since Dino is my cousin, and Rere is my sister-in-law." Dila paused, wanting to see Tia''s reaction.


    "What''s it, sis?"


    "Why did Rere accept Dino''s proposal? Is this because of my husband''s intervention?" Dila stared at Tia as she touched Tia''s palm. Emphasize that she needs answers and does not want to be lied to.


    "Why don''t you ask Rere?" Tia stammers. She wanted to run since she doesn''t want to interfere in Rere and Dino''s household matters.


    "A person like Rere, who is closed and likes to keep things hidden, she will not tell her suffering to others. She wanted people to know that she was fine. It''s like, Rere knows the drink is bitter but keeps drinking it all. If normal people like us, we will definitely spit the drink, and don''t want to touch it anymore. Rere is a loner. She cares about other people''s happiness, but is ignorant about her own happiness.


    "Yes, it is true." Tia agrees with Dila''s opinion.


    "I know you are Rere''s close friend. You also know how my relationship with Dino is. I also know that you told Dino that Rere gave birth to his child."


    "Sis?"


    "Don''t be surprised. Dino has told me everything. Yes, marriage is once in a lifetime. I want Dino and Rere to love each other. I got word that they don''t match. As a friend, she must tell you something. Does Rere love someone else? You know that Bara and I got married because of an arranged marriage. I accepted it because I couldn''t stand the neighbor''s talk. My parents are ashamed to have a spinster like me. I was thirty years old then. Bara also accepted an arranged marriage for the sake of his devotion to his parents. At that time, I was still in love with another man and I wanted to marry the man. It was hard to accept my marriage with Bara, but I tried to move on. Maybe this is my destiny since I pray once that if he is my soulmate, I wanted us to be closer and if he is not, I want to forget my love for him and stay away from him. As time went on, I was able to accept Bara''s flaws and love him. We are totally different from Dino and Rere since they are tied to a child. Is Rere still in love with Angga?"


    "Rere has not loved Angga since the rape attempted," Tia spoke in a hurry.


    "So?" She smiled sweetly. Tia falls into the trap. Dila deliberately goes around in circles for Tia to speak unconsciously.


    "Rere is still hurt by Mr. Dino. She married the man for the boss. Rere did not dare to argue with the boss because when she fell and was driven away, the only supporter she had was him. Aunt Ainil even kicked her out at that time, but the boss protects and keeps her safe like his own sister. She doesn''t want to disappoint boss."


    "Does Rere like my husband?"


    "How is it possible? Rere even suspects that there is something between you and Mr. Dino. "


    Dila let out a shaky breath. It turns out that Bara and Rere think Dino still loves her. Dila needs to straighten all this out. No wonder Bara is very possessive and wants to unite Rere and Dino. Rere is just a tool to separate her from Dino. Dila smiled at Tia as she had found the root of this problem.

 Chapter 76 - Do Not Interfere

    "Re," Dino called his wife affectionately as if their fight had never happened. Actually, Dino wasn''t a flirty man, but since it was for Rere, he did it. He had to adjust his attitude with Rere who was still unstable and explode easily.


    "What?" Rere replied with a grunt.


    "Why are you so rude to me, dear?" Dino said as he touched Rere''s shoulder.


    "Don''t be impudent, No." Rere removed Dino''s hand from her shoulder, shaking it as if dust were about to soil her clothes.


    "How am I impudent?" Dino was surprised.


    "Remember our agreement."


    "Re, we are husband and wife. It''s not impudent for me to touch you. I can also do this." Dino tickled Rere''s waist. He already knows Rere''s explosive nature, but the man is always addicted to bothering his wife.


    "Don''t tickle me." Rere slapped Dino''s hand.


    "What is it, Re?"


    "What''s wrong with that? Do not touch me." Rere was annoyed and left Dino alone.


    "Where are you going?" Dino grabbed Rere''s arm.


    "I will go whenever I want to. Take your hand off me. Don''t make me angry. Leave me alone." Rere left Dino as she walked around the resort alone. She took the snorkeling equipment that had been prepared and then dived into the sea.


    Dino smiled ironically at Rere''s departure. What should he do to melt Rere''s heart and accept his existence?


    Dino returned to the room while playing on his cellphone. He remembered that Bara had left his cell phone when they came. He called Bara when the call is answered immediately.


    "What''s wrong, Re?"


    "I''m Dino, not Rere."


    "Why, No?"


    "When did you pick us up? We have been here for so long that your sister is always angry all the time."


    "You give up?" Bara mocked the man as he raised his eyebrows. Occasionally put snacks in the mouth.


    "I am not giving up Bar, but we can''t force anything. Let my and Rere''s relationship develop naturally."


    "But, Rere is your wife so you have to be close."


    "Love will come from small things, bar. You are trying so hard to build my relationship and Rere. I''m the husband Rere hates."


    "Why are you like that? It''s for Leon''s sake."


    "I know your goal isn''t just Leon. You''re afraid that I will snatch Dila away from you." Dino said, hitting the nail on the head.


    Bara frowned. It turned out that Dino can read his mind. It''s really hard to fool Dila and Dino. They can guess what other people thought. Bara was silent for a long time. He was unable to speak as he finally gave up.


    "Bar, please¡­ I''m only amazed at  Dila since she can love my daughter like her own. There is no other feeling. Don''t be too possessive. I know myself too. I won''t be a thorn in your relationship?"


    "No." Bara panicked a little since he didn''t think Dino would realize this. Is he so stupid that Dino and Dila can read his plan easily?


    "Bar," Dino said quietly. "You''re just accusing us without any proof. When we lived together, I swear, I have never touched your wife by improper means. Even if I get closer, Dila keeps her distance. Dila takes care of her love and longing for you even when you are apart. You guys just got together. Don''t ruin your relationship with your false assumptions. If I insist, I can take care of your divorce but I didn''t do that, Bar. I know who I am and my position. She loves you too much."


    Bara stuttered, goosebumps covered all his skin hearing Dino''s words. He was calm but Bara could hear the treat. Bara shuddered when he heard that.


    "Tomorrow, pick us up at the dock. Let me use my way to melt Rere. Please¡­.from now on don''t ever interfere in our relationship."


    "Good." Bara couldn''t say anything. Even though Dino spoke slowly, he was able to shake Bara. Dino did not play with his words.


    "Thanks, Bar. See you soon." Dino hung up the phone. After that, the man chose to sleep. He really missed Hanin and Leon. Dino then made a video call to Dila since Dino memorized Dila''s number.


    "Who is this?" Dila is sleeping with Hanin and Leon in the room. Lusi and Defri happened to bring the triplets out. Her parents wanted to play with the children. Dila has plenty of time for Leon and Hanin.


    Dila refused the video call from Dino because she could not recognize the number. The man then sent a message.


    ( Dila it''s me. Dino)


    "Why did Dino change his number?"


    Dila then called back. She saw Dino smiling as he waved at his children.


    "Dad," Hanin called him happily. A few days without seeing his father made her miss him.


    "Dear Hanin." Dino pursed his lips as if to kiss Hanin. " Leon," Dino called his youngest and Leon just smiled at his father.


    "Say hi to your dad, dear?" Dila ordered Leon to greet Dino.


    "Da-Dad," Leon stammered.


    "It seems Leon is already attached to you Dil."


    "He is," answered Dila briefly. She pointed the camera at Hanin and Leon.


    "When is dad coming home? I miss you so much,dad." Hanin sulked. "Why doesn''t dad take me on vacation with mommy?"


    "Sorry kiddo, we will be back tomorrow."


    "Baba, I am so sad that you left me alone."


    "Don''t talk like that." Dila scolds Hanin for being rude to Dino.


    "Mom-mom," Leon stammered. He is not fluent yet. Only Rere and their family understood what the boy was saying.


    "Tomorrow, Baba comes home with Mommy. Dil, can we talk for a minute?"


    "Just a moment, dear. I will talk to your father first." Dila keeps her distance from the children, standing on the balcony.


    "What is wrong?" she asked with a serious expression.


    "Bara is so possessive."


    "What do you mean, No?" Dila pretended not to understand.


    "Now I understand why he insists on asking me to marry Rere. He''s afraid that I will snatch you away."


    Dila sigh at Bara''s amusing behavior. Even Dino could read his mind. Dila stroked her chest.


    "I apologize on behalf of my husband for that, No."


    "Hmmm."


    "I know it won''t be easy to get Rere''s heart."


    "She is young so I have to be patient with her." Dino laughed, more like laughing at himself. Ironically, his and Rere''s marriage was driven by Bara''s interests.


    "I''m not angry, Dil. I understand your husband is a crazy lover. He is very possessive. I was only afraid that Rere would find out Bara''s intention to marry us. Actually, without Bara asking me to take responsibility, I would have done it. I''m not a bastard who runs away from responsibility."


    "You don''t need to explain that, No. I know you."


    "Please¡­ tell your husband not to interfere in our marriage, and I would ask the same for you. We better keep our distance for good. If we are close like before, it will ruin our relationship with our spouse."


    "No, why did you act like this?" Dila feels bad. He saw Dino''s sincerity when he said it.


    "We need to take care of our partner''s feelings, Dil. I don''t mean anything else. Bara was afraid of losing you, afraid that I would snatch you away. He feels I still like you even though my feeling for you was just admiration."


    "I understand." Dila looked down languidly since she felt guilty toward Dino.


    ****


    Rere smiled happily when she found beautiful fish while snorkeling. The fish in the sea are very beautiful. Rere admires the beauty of the sea at this resort. Humans only destroy nature for their greed. This island is still preserved. The resort development does not destroy nature because it still preserves nature.


    For a moment Rere forgot her fight with Dino. The sea made her forget her problems. She forgot all the anger, hurt, and disappointment. The seawater is so clear that when she dives she will see beautiful marine life. Rere enjoys the feast for her eyes as she finds beautiful sea creatures. Rere was amazed to see the coral reefs, but she does not dare to touch them for fear of destroying nature and fear of being electrocuted by the electric eels.


    Rere dives deeper looking for various other marine biotas. She found unique marine life that she had never found on other islands.


    Rere spent almost two hours snorkeling before she was suddenly hungry. Rere returned to the mainland since her stomach is asking to be filled. She removed the snorkel gear from her body, the diving mask, a snorkel (breathing device), frog legs, and extra clothing. Rere didn''t want to get sunburn, so she wore layered clothes.


    "This sea is beautiful." Rere packed her things as she returned to the resort. Along the way, she whistled with joy. Rere didn''t realize that Bara''s men had been following her for a while. They were confused about how to bring Rere and Dino closer.

 Chapter 77 - Interruption

    Rere smiled happily when she found beautiful fish while snorkeling. The fish in the sea are very beautiful. Rere admires the beauty of the sea at this resort. Humans only destroy nature for their greed. This island is still preserved. The resort development does not destroy nature because it still preserves nature.

    Rere dives deeper looking for various other marine biotas. She found unique marine life that she had never found on other islands.


    Rere spent almost two hours snorkeling before she was suddenly hungry. Rere returned to the mainland since her stomach is asking to be filled. She removed the snorkel gear from her body, the diving mask, a snorkel (breathing device), frog legs, and extra clothing. Rere didn''t want to get sunburn, so she wore layered clothes.


    "This sea is beautiful." Rere packed her things as she returned to the resort. Along the way, she whistled with joy. Rere didn''t realize that Bara''s men had been following her for a while. They were confused about how to bring Rere and Dino closer.


    "Hey beautiful," They greeted when Rere almost arrived at the resort.


    "Who are you?" Rere immediately became alert and cautious. The two men were very suspicious. For days, she found no one else on this island. Rere only knew that she and Dino are the only people staying here.


    "Why are you walking alone? Do you want us to accompany you?" They tease her like bad boys.


    "Don''t come closer." Rere plays a snorkel. If the two men started to do something bad, Rere would hit them with a snorkel.


    "Are you playing hard to get, now? If you are lonely, we will accompany you. It''s been a long time since I''ve been with a girl. Do you want it?" The two of them looked at Rere with lust.


    Rere felt humiliated. Their stares disgusted her. Annoyed, she hit the two men with a snorkel.


    "How come you''re so beautiful?"


    "Do you like violence? I like ''play hard''. It is my favorite."


    "Damn you." Rere was hurt from their verbal abuse. She kicked one of the men in the groin and fled.


    A chase ensued as the other man was after Rere. Rere was traumatized as she remembered the incident of her escape into the forest when being chased by Prince Ahmed''s men.


    "Help," Rere screamed as the man started to get closer.


    "Don''t go pretty. Brother is here."


    "Go away," Rere shouted as she fell when her foot tripped over a rock.


    The man approached her as Rere slumped back. She was unable to stand. It looks like Rere sprained her leg.


    The man got closer and tried to touch her cheek. Rere was hysterical, remembering the incident when Angga tried to rape her.


    "No," she shrieked, bowing her head.


    Rere opened her eyes. Shocked and did not expect Dino to come on time. Dino beat the man to a pulp. The man''s friend came and pointed a knife at Dino. He looks terrified at his own actions. They didn''t think their plan would fail. Dino came at the wrong time.


    He tried to stab Dino, but the man dodged. Rere was so scared that she stood behind Dino. Even though she sprained her leg, Rere tried to stand up. Dino dodged and did not want to fight it out. He wanted to protect his wife. Dino''s clothes were wet because Rere was holding his body close. Rere had just finished snorkeling so her clothes were wet.


    "I''m scared," she squeaked softly, hugging Dino tightly unconsciously.


    "Relax, I''m here." Dino stroked Rere''s arm.


    When Dino was careless, the man managed to slash his chest with a knife. Dino''s chest was bleeding. Rere was shocked. Panicking, Rere grabbed Dino''s hand and pulled him away from the men. There was a chase. Dino wanted to fight but his wife prevented him. They went into the warehouse as the two men smiled brightly.


    "I almost thought we would fail."


    "The lucky lady is still on our side." The man took the padlocks and locked the place from outside. After that, they both left.


    Rere and Dino gasped. Rere saw Dino''s wound. Dino''s clothes were red with blood.


    "No, you keep bleeding." Rere touched Dino''s chest. "Take off your clothes?"


    "You must have wanted this. You want me to take off my clothes?"


    "Don''t be perverted. I just want to clean your wound." Rere helped Dino take off his shirt.


    Rere swallowed her saliva when she looked at her husband''s body. It was sculpted beautifully like the Greek god. Dino''s brown skin makes him look more exotic. Rere cursed herself since she couldn''t tear her gaze from Dino''s beautiful body. She has two wet dreams about the man. Ever since meeting Dino, that man had driven her wild. Dino''s tease awakens Rere''s latent wild fantasy.


    Dino was also trembling a little. His heart was beating fast when Rere''s hand touched his chest. The vibration he felt was very thrilling and overturned his heart. He craved for more since he enjoyed Rere''s touch on his body. It was only natural that Dino wanted her because he was a normal man and the woman who touched him was his wife. Dino held his breath as a stinging pain emerged from his wound. Dino held his breath trying to shake off the pain. It is difficult to distinguish between pain and pleasure at the same time.


    Rere cleaned Dino''s wound with the man''s t-shirt. It is just a little scratch. Rere is just overreacting from seeing the blood. Dino also enjoys Rere''s attention and care since the woman''s touch awakens Dino''s wild side. He tried to contain his urge, knowing exactly that Rere will reject him if he forces her.


    "I will see the situation first," Rere said, hiding her nervousness. She stepped to the door, tried to open the door a little so she could peek outside.


    "Why is the door locked?" Rere panicked as she tried to open the door but the door did not budge.


    Dino approached the door, tried to open it but to no avail.


    "They locked us here," said the man unenthusiastically. His body slumped to the floor.


    "What? They locked us up?"


    "I think so," Dino replied in a weak tone.


    "Dino," Rere called annoyed.


    "Why?"


    "Is this your plan? Do you want us to be locked up here and alone?" Rere was suspicious of her husband.


    "Stop talking nonsense, Re."


    "I don''t want to accuse you, but you came at the right time. The three of you must be conspiring. You want me to be indebted to you. You''re playing dirty."


    "Watch your mouth. I was hurt for trying to help you. How dare you say that I was just acting. Use your brain when you talk and think before you speak." Dino was furious. He is not that low. Dino felt quite patient with his wife.


    "I''m not making random accusations. If they don''t lock us up, then who else?"


    "They indeed locked us up, but I didn''t cooperate with them. Don''t humiliate me. So far, I''ve given up not because I''m wrong, I gave in because I didn''t want to make a fuss. This time you went too far, Re." Dino snatched his shirt from Rere''s hand and put it back on.


    Dino tried to kick the door open but to no avail. The two men locked the door with a big padlock, so it wasn''t easy.


    Dino kept kicking the door creating a deafening sound inside the room. He vented his anger and pain by kicking the door. Dino was sure that those people were following Bara''s orders. The man will make everything to get him closer to Rere, more precisely to make Rere fall in love with him.


    Rere''s eyes widened when she saw Dino''s wrath. She bit her finger in fear since it was the first time she had seen Dino so angry. Normally he would be patient but not this time. Dino showed his true nature.


    "Hei! Open the door!" Dino shouted. He cannot feel the pain from his opened wound since his heart ached more than the wounds on his body.


    Rere shuddered as she had goosebumps all over her body. She was shivering and scared at the same time. She realized that her words had gone too far and hurt Dino. Rere''s body shriveled up from being wet for too long. She was starting to get cold since she didn''t change clothes after she finished snorkeling.


    Two of Bara''s men stood in front of the warehouse, trying to understand the situation inside.


    "What should we do? It looks like they had a big fight."


    "Rere must have provoked Dino again, that''s why the man was angry. Have we gone too far?"


    "It seems so."


    "Open the door! I knew you were out there." Dino''s voice grew louder. He screamed until the veins in his neck were bulging.

 Chapter 78 - Dino Anger

    Dino''s expression made Rere gulp in panic as she was getting scared every second. She regretted her cruel accusation on Dino. There is a saying, the tongue is like a sword, its sharpness can hurt someone''s heart.


    "If you don''t open this door. Don''t blame me for strangling Rere to death." Dino spreads threats. After that he looked at Rere, signaling the woman to shout.


    "Help...," Rere said breathlessly, she sounded like she was being strangled.


    "Please, He wants to kill me," she continued with a choked voice.


    Dino gave Rere a thumbs up with a teasing expression.


    Bara''s two men suddenly turned pale. If Rere were to die at the hands of Dino, Bara would surely punish them hard, they might be skinned alive. They rushed to open the door in a panic.


    "Miss Rere are you okay?" asked one of them.


    "You." Rere got so angry and then slapped them one by one. "Are you doing this because of Bara''s orders?" Rere was furious.


    "No ma''am."


    "Then is this Dino''s order?" Rere glared at Dino.


    "No, ma''am," they answered timidly.


    "We''re just improvising. The important thing is to make you and Mr. Dino spend some romantic time together."


    "You guys are crazy," Rere cursed harshly.


    "Prepare the ship. We are going home right now! Don''t try to confront me since I will finish it with Bara," said Dino quietly but the two men shrank after that he came out of the warehouse.


    Rere was silent facing Dino''s cold behavior.


    "Prepare the ship now! We are going home." Rere emphasized before leaving the warehouse.


    The two of them rushed to prepare the ship.


    Rere returned to the room. He saw Dino was cleaning his wound. The man winced in pain as he cleaned his wound with cotton buds.


    "Let me help you with that," Rere approached Dino and took the cotton buds from the man''s hand.


    "No need," said Dino quickly. The man snatched the cotton buds from Rere''s hand. Dino was so angry that he didn''t want to look at Rere''s face. "I can do it myself. I don''t want to be called a drama queen to attract your attention," said Dino sarcastically at Rere.


    For the first time, Rere was silent and did not retort back. Usually, she dared to nag Dino but this time she didn''t dare to do so.


    "Sir, what did I do wrong _______"


    "You did nothing wrong since you are a saint, Re. It is me who is always ugly in your eyes. You don''t have to talk anymore. I''m directly going back to KL after we got home. It''s up to you whether you want to go there or not. I know my value and know where to stand."


    "No, please don''t say that."


    "Isn''t this what you wanted? I will stay away from you and do not disturb your life. I should be aware of this. You don''t need me to be responsible. Without me, you can raise Leon alone. The wealth you have makes you feel great, and you don''t need a male figure in your life."


    "I''ve rejected you from the start. You are the wrong one since you are being insistent." Rere starts to talk back when she is cornered.


    "I did it for the sake of our child. I''m not an irresponsible man. I cannot just leave you after impregnating you? I just want to give legal certainty to my son. That''s my responsibility as a father. You''ve stepped on my pride, Re. I am angry and annoyed with you. If you weren''t a woman I might have kicked you." Dino took the clothes from the closet and slammed the door hard as he went to take a shower.


    Rere was surprised as she stroked her chest. Dino was furious at her. There was no longer a smile that made her sick. In fact, Rere teased Dino to cover up her feelings. She didn''t want to be trapped and fell in love with Dino, shame on eating her own words, especially since she''s had two dreams of making love to Dino.


    Rere sat in the pool waiting for Dino to finish bathing. Not long after, the man came out of the bathroom neatly dressed. Rere went to the bathroom. She opened the cupboard and took out her clothes as she cleaned himself up.


    Dino and Rere headed for the harbor. Bara''s two men had already prepared a ship for them. The two of them did not speak. Rere hesitated to greet her husband. Dino went up first. He didn''t even look at Rere and didn''t want to help his wife get on the ship.


    Rere wanted to ask for help but her mouth was locked. Her pride keeps her from talking to the man.


    There was no conversation between them on the ship. Silence and an eerie atmosphere filled the space around them. Bara''s two men shuddered to see them. No one dared to question why the newlyweds were in a cold war.


    An hour later their ship stopped at the dock. Dino came down first since he didn''t want to see his wife at all. When he saw Bara''s private driver was waiting for them. Dino directly got into the car as he deliberately sat in the front with the driver. Dino didn''t want to sit in the back with Rere.


    Rere was shocked to find her husband''s attitude. For some reason, Dino''s aura was very different when he was angry. Rere prefers Dino''s flirty attitude rather than silence.


    They don''t talk to each other. Dino is still annoyed and does not accept Rere''s accusations. Finally, they arrived home.


    Herman and Ainil were surprised to see the arrival of their daughter and son-in-law.


    "You are back?"  Ainil greets both of them.


    Dino approached Ainil and shook the woman''s hand first before shaking Herman''s hand. The man showed his filial piety to his in-laws. Dino was attractive and smiled. Rere understands that her husband is keeping up his pretense. The man was friendly as if nothing had happened.


    "How was your honeymoon?" Ainil asked. The woman was still worried because she knew that Rere was forced to marry Dino.


    "Everything was okay, aunty. It was fun."


    "Why did you still call me aunty? Just call me mom. You''ve become my child."


    "Okay mom," Dino replied awkwardly while scratching his head.


    "Well, it''s nice to be called that."


    "Where are the children, mom?" Dino looked around looking for Leon and Hanin.


    "They are sleeping in the room," Herman replied.


    "I will look at the children first, mom, dad." Dino got up from the sofa.


    Rere wanted to get up after Dino but the man''s words stopped her.


    "Just talk to Mom and Dad."


    Rere is disappointed as she snorted angrily, staring at Dino''s back. Herman continued his activities of taking care of the plants, leaving Rere and Ainil behind.


    "Are you fighting?" asked Ainil spontaneously.


    "No mother. Why did you say that?" Rere was clumsy to answer the question. Why is Ainil so sensitive? Is Dino''s attitude that obvious? She thinks Dino was good at pretending to be sweet. Everything looks fine. Who would have thought that Ainil could still see the strangeness between them?


    Ainil brought Rere to talk in the backyard. Rere was nervous since she didn''t want Ainil to interrogate her about her relationship with Dino. Rere didn''t have the slightest feeling for Dino. She is selfish and she was sure that she can support Leon without Dino''s help.


    "Re¡­." Ainil looked at her daughter with an ironic smile. She realized that Rere could not accept her status as a wife. Their marriage was too quick and abrupt. They married for the sake of their children''s future.


    "Yes, mom."


    "I know your relationship. You don''t have to pretend in front of me. You young people won''t be able to lie to this old woman." Ainil pointed to herself. "Dino''s attitude towards you has shown that he is angry with you. I will not defend you because I know who started this problem first. As a mother, I should remind you. Dino is a mature grown man, he is gentle and dares to take responsibility for his actions. His wish to marry you is due to his responsibilities as a father. He wants to provide protection and carry out his duties."


    "What do you mean mom?" Rere''s throat tightened.


    "Dino married you because he wanted to protect and keep your dignity. He''s aware that you''ve been living a hard life for the past few years. You are ridiculed and insulted. You become the talk and gossip of the neighbors. He wanted to atone for his past sins. Re, marriage is not only about love. Indeed, marrying the man we love is the dream of all women, but marriage does not always begin with love. Remember, love will not fill your stomach in a marriage. True love is love that comes after marriage. I know that Dino is a good man. Don''t be angry at Bara for forcing you to marry him. Bara only wants the best for you. Take my words, if Dino hurts you, Bara will be the first to defend you. You need to make peace with your past. Your match is Dino. We will never know how God brought us to our soulmate. Matchmaking is a mystery, Re. Take me for an example. I never thought that I would remarry after your father died. I found your father figure in Herman. He also found the figure of his late wife in me. No one knows who our fated partner, Re. I remarried and the marriage gave you an older brother. A big brother who will stand in front of you to protect you. He loves you so much even when I kicked you out when you are pregnant with Leon, he supports you and became a father figure for Leon."

 Chapter 79 - Mother Scolding

    "What do you mean mom?" Rere''s throat tightened.


    "Dino married you because he wanted to protect and keep your dignity. He''s aware that you''ve been living a hard life for the past few years. You are ridiculed and insulted. You become the talk and gossip of the neighbors. He wanted to atone for his past sins. Re, marriage is not only about love. Indeed, marrying the man we love is the dream of all women, but marriage does not always begin with love. Remember, love will not fill your stomach in a marriage. True love is love that comes after marriage. I know that Dino is a good man. Don''t be angry at Bara for forcing you to marry him. Bara only wants the best for you. Take my words, if Dino hurts you, Bara will be the first to defend you. You need to make peace with your past. Your match is Dino. We will never know how God brought us to our soulmate. Matchmaking is a mystery, Re. Take me for an example. I never thought that I would remarry after your father died. I found your father figure in Herman.

A big brother who will stand in front of you to protect you. He loves you so much even when I kicked you out when you are pregnant with Leon, he supports you and became a father figure for Leon."


    Rere looked down languidly, and did not dare to refute Ainil''s words. Her mother''s words hit and slapped her heart.


    "Dino is only carrying out his duties as a father. Even though he missed the moment of Leon''s birth. Dino wants to make up for all the moments that have been passed. Even though Leon lives with you, who is materially affluent, he still cannot eliminate the obligation of a biological father to continue to provide for his child''s needs. A father must continue to carry out his obligations to meet the needs of the child until he grows up, both material needs, attention, and affection. Don''t be selfish, Re."


    "Mom, it is not like that." Rere protested and tried to defend herself.


    "Don''t lie to me. The look in Dino''s eyes said it all. You have to learn to be a good wife and mother. Maybe as a mother, you have done your duty properly, but what about your duty as a wife?"


    "Mom, the problem is not what you think."


    "Explain to me then!"


    Rere''s guts shrunk. She couldn''t explain it to Ainil. She couldn''t forgive and accept Dino yet since the wound in her heart is still fresh. Whatever! Rere doesn''t understand her heart. Why is it so difficult to receive kindness from Dino even though the man always tries to be nice to her?


    "Mother, I''m going to my room," said Rere before leaving. She did not want to continue their conversation. Instead of getting support, she was cornered by her own mother. She left before Ainil could answer her question.


    "That child, she is too stubborn," Ainil grumbled.


    "Who''s being stubborn, princess?" Bara suddenly came. The man likes to tease his stepmother by calling her ''princess''.


    "Bar, when are you coming?"


    "Just a minute ago."


    "Who were you talking to?"


    "Who else?" Ainil was still looking straight ahead. Watching Rere leave with a feeling of sadness.


    "Who is that?"


    "Rere."


    "Are they home?" Bara was shocked because he didn''t hear the news of Dino and Rere''s return. His two men had yet to give him the news. Bara clenched her fists in anger, upset because they both did not work competently.


    "Yes. They just got home."


    "Where''s Dila?"


    "She is in the room."


    "Bar."


    "Yes, mom."


    "It looks like they had a fight. Even though Dino was acting normal, I felt something was wrong. Dino seemed to keep his distance from Rere. He''s so cold."


    "What do you mean, mom?"


    "I think your sister creates trouble that makes Dino very angry."


    "You don''t have to think about it. Everything will be fine. They are adults so they can handle their problems."


    "I don''t have any doubt for Dino since he is so mature, but Rere. Only God knows, Bar. She''s stubborn and wants to win over everything."


    "Yes, I know my sister very well. Don''t worry. I will advise her."


    "Bar, they are newlyweds. I am afraid that the incompatibility between them will cause a polemic. I don''t want them to get divorced in the end."


    "Don''t say that. They are fine. Our words might come true so just say good words."


    "I am just worried, Bar."


    "It''s okay." Bara calms Ainil.


    After that, the man left Ainil. He took out his cell phone and called his men. Bara wanted to vent his anger. Before he had time to call them, his phone rang, his men called him first.


    "Tell me!" Bara said coldly.


    "Rere and Dino are back, sir. They had such a big fight earlier that made Dino furious."


    "What is the problem?"


    The man told what happened to Dino and Rere. Bara''s head started to get dizzy as he pinched his temples. What kind of method should he use so that Rere can accept Dino as a husband. If they don''t fall in love, Bara will feel threatened since Dino''s attention to Dila made him jealous.


    "What a stupid plan you guys came up with. It doesn''t help at all and only adds unnecessary problems. If you want to make a plan, tell me first before executing it."


    "Aren''t you the one who told us to think by ourselves, boss? You did not tell us to confirm it with you."


    "Don''t make me angry. Even if I told you to, at least tell me what you''re going to do. Everything is a mess now."


    "Sorry, boss. We don''t know that Rere is a suspicious person. We think¡­."


    "Stop making excuses. You''re just useless." Bara was angry as he cut off the call.


    "Rere. Why do you love creating a problem?"


    *****


    "When are you going back to KL?" Bara asked while relaxing with Dino on the Rooftop. They enjoyed the afternoon, waiting for dinner.


    "Maybe tomorrow, Bar. I can''t leave the office for a long time."


    "Well, just bring your wife and children to KL."


    "It''s not that easy, Bar."


    "You''re her husband. You''re the head of the house. Rere has to follow you wherever you go. The wife must follow her husband''s decision as long as your order did not have malicious intent. You are too soft on Rere. Sometimes you have to be tough with her."


    "Bar, Rere cannot be handled that way. She will be stressed out. I have to deal with her properly."


    "Luckily, Dila is an adult." Bara is grateful to have a wife as good and patient as Dila.


    "Do not compare them. Just based on age, the gap is too far."


    "My wife is the best."


    "Every husband must say that their wife is the best."


    "It''s time for dinner." Rere came to the rooftop to call Dino. Rere was forced to do it because Dila told her to.


    "Why did you only call Dino?" Bara glanced at Rere.


    "I called you too."


    That evening they had a delicious dinner. All rejoice as Leon and the triplets eat voraciously. Dino watched Rere, who was getting food for Hanin. His wife has been able to adapt to his daughter.


    Ananya¡­Rere can be a good mother for Hanin. You don''t have to worry anymore, dear. Dino says in his heart as he looks at Rere and Hanin.


    Dino relaxed, reading fairy tales to Leon. Leon''s new habit is going to sleep after he heard a fairy tale story.


    Dino laid Leon who was sleeping on the sofa. Dino also covered Leon''s tiny body.


    "My son, I hope to grow up to be a responsible man. Even though you were born out in wedlock but I will make you a child that heaven longs for. Sorry that I left you alone these three years, kid." Dino stroked Leon''s cheek. After making sure the child sleeps. Dino went to his room.


    "I have prepared clothes for your departure," Rere said when Dino entered the room.


    "Don''t worry, Re. All my clothes are in KL, I will leave everything here." Dino sat next to Rere. The woman sat on the bed cutting her nails.


    "But I''ve prepared your clothes."


    "Forgive me." Dino smiled sweetly. His smile scared her even more. Feeling anxious when the man teased her.


    "No need to apologize."


    "Re."


    "Yes."


    "I don''t think I can go back and forth. How about we stay in KL?


    "I don''t want to, you just go back to KL so I can take care of Hanin and Leon."


    "How can I do that, Re. I''m busy there. I can''t leave my company for too long."


    "But I''m comfortable here."


    "Re. I''m your husband. You have to follow your husband''s orders. I''ve been silent all this time, obeying your wishes. I just want to make you comfortable, but you''ve become arrogant."


    "Why not stay in Jakarta? I''m comfortable here. I don''t want to go back to KL. Why do I need to go there?"


    "You don''t even work here."


    "Give me some time to think about it. It''s too sudden for me."


    "Good."

 Chapter 80 - Yield

    "Why do you have to be confused, Re? Just go to KL. As the wife of lo must follow Dino. He''s the head of the family." Tia advised Rere. They agreed to have lunch at a Japanese restaurant.


    "Until now, I have not been able to accept him as a husband. You know that I married him out of necessity."


    "Remember, Re. You have obligations to your husband. First, be obedient and just follow what your husband wants. A good wife must obey her husband. Second, serve your husband. The wife is obliged to serve her husband in bed. Have you done that duty of yours?"


    "Not, yet," Rere replied innocently.


    "Oh my goodness, Dino is very patient. It is a sin, you know."


    "I know but I can''t Tia. I can''t accept him, yet."


    "Are you still in love with Angga?"


    Rere was silent, unable to answer Tia''s question. When she was asked whether there are still some attachments or not, Rere also cannot answer. When she was asked if he liked Dino or not, Rere couldn''t answer either. The woman is still confused about the owner of her heart.


    "Why are you quiet? Can''t answer my question?" Tia crossed her arms in front of Rere.


    "I don''t know what to say." Rere stared at the restaurant window. They happened to be sitting on the rooftop.


    "You just need to answer Re. Are you still in love with Angga? If a woman is married, she should learn to love her husband."


    Rere stared at Tia silently. Watching her friend without daring to refute her words.


    "A mate is something that fits and matches. God gives a mate according to our needs. You who are spoiled and sensitive have a mature, understanding, and patient husband like Mr. Dino. He can make you comfortable. Your marriage is not a mistake but the right thing to do. You guys are married for Leon''s future. Do you realize that you are already destined by God to be together


    ?"


    "Why did you say something like that?"


    "You are one of the key witnesses of Ananya''s death. Mr. Dino''s husband is Ananya. You and Mr. Dino had a one-night-stand that made you give birth to Leon. Isn''t this a destiny? Nothing is a coincidence."


    "I can''t say it''s fate. I think it''s just my bad luck."


    "You can''t say that. Did you feel unlucky for giving birth to Leon?"


    "It is not like that."


    "You need to be careful when you speak."


    "Dino asked me to move to KL with him. I''m not ready to be his wife yet. I feel overwhelmed. We shouldn''t have married."


    "Re. Why are you so selfish? There''s no need to regret everything. Your husband is a good person. You are lucky to have a husband like him. He knows how to treat his wife carefully."


    "How come you understand my husband better?" Rere actually laughed at Tia.


    "You can laugh now. One day you will regret it when you realize your husband is special. If you are too late, you will realize it when another woman snatched your husband away."


    "Are you scaring me?"


    "I''m not scaring you but a woman is really waiting for your husband. She is heartbroken by your marriage."


    "What do you mean?"


    "You know that woman."


    "Don''t tell me that woman is Gesa," Rere''s lips trembled when she said that name. There is a fear in Rere''s heart if Dino is really taken by Gesa. Rere remembers that Gesa once said that Ananya''s last will is for Gesa to take care of her husband and child. Isn''t it common for someone to backstab their own friends by snatching away their friend''s husband nowadays?


    "Well, you''re aware of that now. Did you still want to be ignorant and not give some attention to your husband? Your husband is a handsome, rich, kind, and perfect father. It''s hard to find such a perfect man these days."


    "Why do you understand my husband better?"


    "Because you are blind. I, an outsider in your marriage, know how your husband is. Try to accept it before it''s too late, re. Regret always comes in the end."


    *****


    Dino is relaxing with his two children, watching cartoons. Since returning from his honeymoon, the man didn''t talk much to Rere. The man is still angry with his wife. Rere''s accusations hurt his heart.


    Dino pated Leon lovingly since the little boy has been sleepy and tired of playing. Hanin lay down next to Dino. Hanin''s eyes did not leave the television. They always spend their free time watching television together.


    The man picked him up and laid Leon on the bed after realizing Leon was asleep. He stroked the child''s head affectionately.


    "Son, you have to be a responsible man when you grow up. Dad loves you very much. Just pray that dad can be patient with mommy. Sorry for the past three years. If only dad could know sooner and your Mommy wasn''t selfish, maybe dad would be there when you were born into this world. Mommy and dad''s marriage was only for you, son. Dad will try to survive even though your Mommy never considered dad''s existence." Dino''s eyes filled with tears when he saw Leon''s sleeping face.


    Unbeknownst to Dino, Hanin was listening to his words. The little girl also cried seeing Dino.


    Dino returned to where Hanin was. The girl is not watching television anymore since she stood on the balcony looking at the surrounding scenery. For a while, Dino lived at Rere''s parents'' house. His house is next door to Bara and Dila''s house.


    "What are you looking at, baby?" Dino approached Hanin.


    "I am looking outside, dad," Hanin said quietly. The girl''s face was full of sadness.


    "What happened, baby?" Dino took his daughter''s arm. Bend down to match Hanin''s height.


    "When are we going back to KL, dad?"


    "Don''t you want to live here? go to school here?"


    "I want to live with mom Dila instead of Aunt Rere."


    "Why do you call mom, aunty? She is your mom now, dear. You don''t like mommy?"


    "No. I don''t like her. She''s a mean stepmother."


    "Don''t talk like that, baby. Mommy is kind and she loves you."


    "Don''t lie to me, dad. Aunt Rere is not a good mother. She only cares about Leon, not me. When dad and Aunt Rere just got home. She just hugged Leon and ignored me. Only Mom Dila really loves me. Mom loves me like she loves Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa. I want to go back to KL with you."


    "If you go back to KL with me, then how about Leon?"


    Hanin was silent. She was busy thinking. Dino smiled sweetly at his daughter. Sometimes Hanin acts like a grown woman but more often she acts like a normal six-year-old girl.


    "Hanin, do you love Leon?" Dino asked his daughter.


    "I love him."


    "Both of you are dad''s children. You cannot live apart. Hanin and Leon must always stay together so your bond will be stronger." Dino touched Hanin''s chest.


    "Aunt Rere doesn''t love me. She only loves Leon." Hanin lowered her head, not daring to look at Dino.


    "You can''t have bad thoughts, dear. Mommy loves you."


    "Why can''t Mom Dila be my stepmother, dad?"


    Dino pensive. His throat tightened since he did not expect Hanin to ask something like that. The man was curious about Rere''s attitude towards Hanin, making the girl think that way.


    "Unfortunately, you can''t say that. Mom Dila is uncle Bara''s wife."


    "Why did mom and the triplets live with us in KL before?"


    "Hanin is still too young to understand it. Later, when Hanin grows up you will understand why mom has lived with us these past few years."


    "Do you still love mom, dad?" Hanin asks about Ananya.


    "Of course, dad loves your mom. Mom Ananya is always in dad''s heart."


    "I want to be here with Leon, but I don''t want to be with Aunt Rere. I want to be with mom."


    "Why is that, dear?"


    "If dad doesn''t agree, I''d better go back to KL and live with grandma," Hanin spoke with a slight snap. Hanin was very disappointed in Rere. The woman''s promise to love her was just a bluff. The woman still kept her distance. Too much attention for Leon made her feel neglected.


    "Okay, if you want it like that. Dad will talk to Mom Dila."


    Hanin smiled and hugged Dino tightly.


    "I love you, dad."


    "Dad loves you too, baby." Dino pinched Hanin''s cheek.


    "Dad, it hurts," Hanin sulked.


    "Leon, mommy is home," Rere called while carrying a shopping bag. As usual, Rere spent her time shopping.


    "Leon is sleeping. Don''t be too loud," Dino replied coldly.


    Rere''s face soured as she looked at his husband with disapproval.


    "Dad, I''m going to Mom Dila''s place," Hanin said, leaving without looking at Rere.


    "Look at your daughter." Rere was annoyed, she felt that Hanin didn''t respect her.


    "What about Hanin?"


    "She doesn''t regard me as her mother," Rere spoke while placing the shopping bag on the table.


    "Oh, you feel unappreciated? Are you treating her like her mother? You just called Leon and ignored her."

 Chapter 81 - Dino And Rere’s Dispute

    "Leon, mommy is home," Rere called while carrying a shopping bag. As usual, Rere spent her time shopping.


    "Leon is sleeping. Don''t be too loud," Dino replied coldly.


    Rere''s face soured as she looked at his husband with disapproval.


    "Dad, I''m going to Mom Dila''s place," Hanin said, leaving without looking at Rere.


    "Look at your daughter." Rere was annoyed, she felt that Hanin didn''t respect her.


    "What about Hanin?"


    "She doesn''t regard me as her mother," Rere spoke while placing the shopping bag on the table.


    "Oh, you feel unappreciated? Are you treating her like her mother? You just called Leon and ignored her."


    "What do you mean?" Rere felt awkward then remembered her mistake. "I forgot."


    "As a stepmother, you have to understand the child. Oh yes, I forgot if our marriage was forced. I was being ignored, so of course, you will ignore Hanin too."


    "Speak clearly. Don''t beat around the bus."


    "Hanin is disappointed in you," said Dino, taking a seat on the sofa.


    Rere also sat with Dino. They look at each other. There is no love in their eyes.


    "Why is she disappointed in me?"


    "Just ask yourself, are you treating her properly?"


    "I''m great as her mother."


    "Is it true?" Dino showed a smile full of sarcasm.


    "Of course." Rere doesn''t feel that she was wrong and doesn''t want to be blamed.


    "You are selfish Re. It turns out that you..."


    "Turn out to be what?" Rere was stubborn and spoke loudly to Dino.


    "Don''t raise your voice at me. Don''t think because I''m soft I can''t be angry with you. I am your husband and the head of the family. You must respect me. Haven''t you learned what a wife''s duty is to her husband?"


    "I never wanted to marry you. You forced this marriage on me. How many times have I told you? You are selfish, I hate you."


    "Fine if that''s what you want. Looks like you can''t be a good wife and mother. I''ll take the kids to KL."


    "Don''t take Leon away from me. He''s my son. I''ve raised him alone."


    "I have never avoided my responsibility. You are the one left instead of me. Hanin and Leon must grow together. What is the point of me being here with you? You knew you were wrong but did not want to apologize."


    "Don''t you dare take Leon from me! You''re just a stranger."


    "Don''t step on the line, Rere," Dino growled in annoyance. For some reason, he couldn''t control his emotions.


    "You dare yell at me now?"


    "You made me do it."


    "You should have realized that from the start. We can take care of Leon without getting married."


    "Do you still love Angga?"


    Rere was silent, didn''t have an answer to Dino''s question. She felt sore when his name was mentioned.


    "Why did you keep silent? I need an answer."


    "Is that important?"


    "It''s important to me for our marriage."


    "We will only hurt each other."


    "Then?"


    "You should understand the answer without me saying it."


    "I do not understand."


    "You''re annoying." Rere stomped on the floor.


    "Don''t forget to talk about our relationship, especially with Bara."


    Rere became timid. She did not have the gut to tell Bara that she wants a divorce. Instead of getting support, she would get scolded.


    *****


    "Why? You did not dare to? Are you afraid of Bara?" Dino grinned scornfully at Rere.


    "Stop talking nonsense. I''m not afraid of him. I only respect him as my brother."


    "Respect and fear are different, Re. I see that you are afraid of Bara. You owe him, don''t you? If Bara wasn''t there, you and Leon might have become beggars."


    "Shut your mouth!" Rere threw a hand in the air. She didn''t like Dino''s words.


    Dino smirked. For some reason, he was satisfied that he had provoked Rere''s anger. He then approached Rere and cornered her against the wall. There is no gap between their bodies.


    "Why? Are you scared?" Dino teased her again.


    "Who said I was afraid?" Rere doesn''t want to lose as she showed her arrogance.


    "Are you sure you''re not afraid?" Dino brought his lips closer to Rere''s lips. Their lips were almost touching. Dino just wanted to test and did not intend to kiss Rere. How far can Rere stand his charm? Dino was sure that Rere was attracted to him but was embarrassed to admit it.


    Rere tried to free herself but her body was held by Dino. The man raised Rere''s hand above her head.


    "Never fight against your husband."


    "Let me go, or I''ll scream." Rere gave a warning.


    "Just scream, I am not afraid. People would praise me for being too great in bed and making you scream.


    "Screw you! Stop that dirty talk."


    "The more you don''t like it, the more I am tempted to do it." Dino stroked Rere''s cheek. The man''s caress went down from her cheeks to her neck and then her arms. Finally, Dino touched Rere''s thigh. He could feel her smooth skin because Rere was only wearing a knee-length dress.


    Rere didn''t want to accept Dino''s touch. She started to struggle and tried to kick Dino''s stomach but unlucky, the man read her movements so she missed the target. Dino grabbed Rere''s leg instead and kept it on his waist. He held the leg until Rere could not move.


    "This position is also good for making love."


    "Watch your words." Rere doesn''t like Dino''s vulgar words.


    "Why should I do that?"


    "Stop harassing me."


    "You are my wife and I am not harassing you." Dino flicked Rere''s temple.


    "It hurts," Rere screamed in annoyance. She tried to kick Dino but almost fell when she tried to do that. Rere forgot that Dino was holding one of her legs.


    "Want to fight back? You would never be able to win against me. You are very weak, Re." Dino glared at his wife. Dino had already made up his mind. He would no longer yield and let Rere step on his head. All this time he just watched Rere and didn''t do anything. It turns out that his silence actually made Rere presumptuous.


    Rere gasped in surprise when Dino pressed their bodies together. Her plump breast pressed against Dino''s chest.  They stared at each other. Dino tried to look into those eyes to find any love for him. Rere never showed any concern for him. At least the girl had changed her attitude a bit since Dino was angry with her.


    Dino then kissed Rere''s lips abruptly. Rere tried to break the kiss but Dino''s kiss got hotter and fiercer. Dino''s kiss shattered Rere''s defenses. She gave in when Dino''s lips caressed and wet her lips. She closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Dino''s face. The sound of their hot kiss echoed in all corners of the room. It is a beautiful and melodious sound in Dino''s ears.


    Dino let go of the hot kiss with a ragged breath. He was panting for breath, trying to inhale as much oxygen inside his lungs.


    Rere wanted to slap Dino but the man''s hand caught her hand faster. Dino twisted Rere''s hand and made the girl face the wall with her hands behind her back. Dino got closer and pressed his cheek to Rere''s cheek.


    "Don''t you dare hit your husband! Don''t be a disobedient wife."


    "Let go of me. It hurts," Rere groaned.


    "It hurts?" Dino''s laugh was full of sarcasm. "Compared to your accusations on the island, this is nothing."


    "Do you have a grudge against me?" Rere was still trying to break free.


    "If I say yes, what''re you going to do?"


    "What a vengeful man!" Rere chided Dino.


    "You have to look in the mirror before you say that. You are a vengeful woman. You still hold a grudge against me even though I apologized. I know you are still hurt by what I said that morning. I misunderstood that time. I admit to you if I made a mistake, but your heart is too ruthless to not accept the truth. You feel that you are magnificent and the most righteous." Dino let go of Rere.


    "You!" Rere clenched her fists, hurt by Dino''s words.


    "What?" said Dino in a high tone.


    Rere who originally wanted to hit Dino''s head lost her guts. The man''s eyes gleamed like an eagle chasing its prey. She knew who would win without even trying.


    "Apologize to me now!" Rere rebuked Dino. Her attitude is selfish to the point that she forgets her position as a wife.


    Dino smirked, "Excuse me? Why should I apologize?"


    "You hurt me and stole a kiss from me."


    "No, I will never apologize. I just teach you a lesson with the kiss. Every time you are being rude, I will kiss you. If your behavior became worse, then I''ll fuck you."


    "Dino!" Rere doesn''t like to hear his words. "Remember our agreement?"


    " No one can control me, Rere, including you."


    "You hypocrite man! A man must hold his word. Turns out you couldn''t keep your promise."


    "Oh, really?" Dino put his hand on his hips. "Can you keep your promise then?"

 Chapter 82 - Entrusting Hanin

    "Oh, really?" Dino put his hand on his hips. "Can you keep your promise then?"


    "Of course. I''m a person who keeps my promises."


    "Liar!"


    "I never lie."


    "What about Hanin? You broke your promise to her."


    "I never broke my promise to her. I accept her as my daughter."


    "But your action says otherwise. When we just got home you only paid attention to Leon. Hanin is in front of you, but you ignore her. She was waiting for your warm greeting, but you ignored her like you ignored me."


    "You should have realized from the start that this marriage shouldn''t have happened." Rere did not want to be blamed again. She did not accept being corner like this.


    "I''m going back to KL. I will not burden you to take care of Hanin. Hanin will live with Dila. She is more comfortable with her aunt than her stepmother."


    "Whatever. I don''t care," Rere said aloud. After that, she smacked her lips because she realized her mistake. She had promised to love Hanin like she loved Leon.


    "Now I know who you really are. Once a child is always a child, irresponsible and only becomes their parents'' burden. If you are not one of those Crazy Rich children, you will not be this arrogant. Without your parents'' wealth, you won''t be standing like you are now, shopping as you please."


    Rere was shocked since Dino''s words hit the bullseye. Even though Rere was slapped hard on her face, she still acted arrogantly. Rere realized that if Bara wasn''t there at that time, she might not be able to give Leon a decent life.


    "Why are you keeping mum? Can''t answer me? Am I right?"


    Rere didn''t care as she chose to leave Dino alone.


    "We''re not done talking yet."


    "I''m sick of you."


    *****


    Dino and Hanin came to Dila and Bara''s house. Their house is only a few minutes away. Dino needs to talk to Dila before leaving for KL. He has some urgent work in the office that can no longer be postponed. The client wants to meet him for a work deal. Dino''s advertising company has been very busy these days. Dino needed to select the talent that would be used as an advertising model.


    "Dino, Hanin," said Dila when she saw their arrival. She quickly opened the door and let them in.


    "Where''s the triplets, mom?" Hanin asked enthusiastically.


    "They''re upstairs." Dila pointed to the children''s room which was on the second floor.


    "Can I go there?"


    "Of course, baby."


    Hanin ran upstairs. She had missed playing with his three favorite nieces and nephew, leaving Dino and Dila behind.


    "Sit, No. What do you want to talk about?" Dila invited Dino to sit down.


    "Where is Bara?" Dino''s eyes wandered around looking for Bara''s whereabouts.


    "Not home yet. He said he was still on his way."


    "Oh, I see."


    "What''s wrong, No? You seem restless?"


    "Yes, I''m nervous Dila. I will leave for KL tomorrow morning. I want you to take care of Hanin when I am there."


    "What about Rere? Why leave her to me? It''s not that I don''t want to do it, No, but Rere and Hanin''s relationship could get worse. Hanin and Rere need to stay together."


    "Rere is still selfish. The girl still cannot take on the responsibility of being Hanin''s mother. She only paid attention to Leon and ignored Hanin."


    "Rere has promised Hanin that she will love her and will not treat Hanin differently."


    "Promises can be broken, Dil. I can''t believe that Rere can take care of Hanin well."


    "Does Rere know that you left Hanin with me?"


    "You don''t have to worry about that. She didn''t care about Hanin and only cared about Leon. I don''t want her to treat my two children differently. She should be able to be fair like you. Even though you have triplets but you love Hanin like your own child."


    "Rere just needs time, No. She''s not ready for this marriage."


    "But, she should respect me as a husband at least. She surprised me. She can be said as a grown woman since she was twenty-four years old."


    "Patience, No." Dila patted Dino''s shoulder.


    "I hope I can be patient, Dil. Luckily I''m going back to KL. At least I''ll be home once a week. Help me to educate Hanin. You are also Hanin''s mother. Only you can educate Hanin. Sometimes I regret marrying Rere."


    "No, you can''t talk like that. You married Rere for the sake of being responsible to Leon. You need to give Leon love, attention, and finance his life to adulthood. Just ignore Rere''s rude behavior. Just remember your duty as a father. Remember, No, a married couple relationship can be broken with a divorce but not with a father and son relationship. It''s only a matter of time, No. I''m sure you can conquer Rere''s heart."


    Dino smiled ironically. Dila''s words sounded like an impossible task for him. Rere would never fall in love with him.


    "Why do I feel weird listening to what you say? Conquering that arrogant woman?" Dino burst out laughing. He did not know which part was funny so he could laugh out loud.


    "Love is a choice. A match is destiny. You need to believe it, No. One Day, Rere will decide to love you. Rock can break if hit by the wave every day. Rere''s heart will yield and love you back one day. It just takes time and patience, No. Your marriage is a destiny from God. If God doesn''t match both of you, you won''t get married."


    "Why are you so sure?"


    "I''ve experienced it, No. I didn''t love Bara when I married him. I even left Bara when I found out he was gay. God can change the human heart in a flip of His hand, No. Bara wants to be a complete husband for me after that. He left his lover and chose me. Even though I refused, Bara was persistent and fought for us. In the end, I yielded and loved Bara with all my soul. I even sacrificed my feelings and happiness for Bara''s safety. I don''t want Bara to be in prison."


    Dino was stunned to hear Dila''s story. No wonder Dila can advise him because she has gone through that phase.


    "I don''t know, Dil. Maybe our story is just different."


    "Don''t be pessimistic, No. Are you in love with Rere?"


    Dino shook his head, "How could I fall for that arrogant girl. She never treated me kindly. She''s too selfish and irresponsible."


    "Be patient, No."


    "I don''t know how long I can be patient."


    "Just be patient for Leon''s sake. Remember your child, No. Leon is the one who unites you and Rere. Remember the reason you married Rere."


    "Can I love Rere like I love Ananya?"


    "I''m sure you can, No. Love will come after you get used to her. You can trust me for Hanin''s problem. I''ll take care of it for you. Hanin is like my own daughter."


    "Thank you, Dil. Sorry to trouble you."


    "Don''t talk like that, we have troubled you a lot since you became triplets'' father."


    "I just want to protect my nephews and niece."


    "Same. I also want to protect my niece. Just be patient, No. I''m sure Rere will fall in love with you one day. Come on, show your charm to Rere. Snatch her heart with your love." Dila encourages him.


    "You''re like a motivator, Dil."


    "You can say that, No," Dila said.


    "Hmmm."


    "Have you advised Rere about Hanin?" Dila spoke carefully. Don''t want to ignite Dino''s emotions.


    "Yes, but she did not feel like she was wrong. The girl felt that she was always right. She has two rules in her brain. One, she''s always right. Second, if she is wrong, go back to rule number one."


    "You have to be patient with Rere. She is young, No. This is a test in your marriage. The test comes from your own wife. I''m sure you will love each other. Falling in love can be different for each person. Some fall in love at first sight, some fall in love because they are used to it, and various other reasons for falling in love. Love is a complicated topic since everyone has their own taste, level, and experience. There are several reasons people fall in love with each other, one of which is they have something in common. For example, the similarity of ways of thinking, hobbies, and so on. This similarity will lead people to explore each other''s preferences as well as understand each other''s character. When both feel compatible, then the love will grow. Spending time working together, discussing everything, and interacting will bring you closer to each other and love will start to grow from that point. Remember, there is only a thin line between hate and love."


    "I don''t know, Dil. I''m not sure about this marriage. Sometimes, I wonder why I married Rere when she didn''t ask me to be responsible."


    "Patience, No. It''s not easy. You have to fight for your marriage. I''m sure you can teach her to be a good wife and mother for your two children."


    "Hopefully."

 Chapter 83 - Hanin And Rere Debate

    "You have to be patient with Rere. She is young, No. This is a test in your marriage. The test comes from your own wife. I''m sure you will love each other. Falling in love can be different for each person. Some fall in love at first sight, some fall in love because they are used to it, and various other reasons for falling in love.

    "Patience, No. It''s not easy. You have to fight for your marriage. I''m sure you can teach her to be a good wife and mother for your two children."


    "Hopefully."


    Rere, Hanin, and Leon went to the airport to accompany Dino. At first, Rere refused but the murderous look from Bara scared her. She was forced to accompany Dino to the airport.


    "Hanin, please be a good girl when dad is not around, okay?" Dino stroked then kissed the little princess''s forehead.


    "Okay, dad. I will be a good girl to mom."


    Rere''s eyes bulged when Hanin mentioned Dila, as a mom, she felt that Hanin did not respect her as a mother.


    "Why do you want to be a good girl for mom and not for mommy?" Rere said, trying to persuade Hanin.


    "Sorry, auntie," said Hanin curtly.


    "Why did you call me aunty and not mommy?"


    "You are Leon''s Mommy, not my mommy." Hanin looked at Rere disapprovingly. Hanin knows how bad Rere and Dino''s relationship is. The girl often saw the two of them fighting.


    "Don''t force her to call you mommy." Dino tried to calm the situation. Dino didn''t want a commotion in the morning. Dino approached Leon and carried his son. He also kissed his son''s forehead. "Beloved Leon. Dad will leave Mommy and your sister in your care. you need to be dad''s replacement at home and keep the women safe."


    "Okay, dad," Leon said cheerfully.


    "I''m leaving," said Dino, glancing at Rere. He lowered Leon from his arms and handed it to Rere. Dino then extended his hand to Rere so that his wife shook hands and kissed his hand.


    "What do you want?" Rere felt strange and did not understand what Dino meant.


    Hanin took Dino''s hand and kissed it. "Why did you not understand it, auntie?" She said sarcastically. "I have already set an example, aunty. Kiss dad''s hand!"


    "What?" Rere''s eyes widened when Hanin ordered her to kiss Dino''s hand.


    "Of course aunty won''t do it." Hanin put her hand on her hips and teased her stepmother. " Only Mom Dila is polite and respectful. Every morning I see mom kissing Uncle Bara''s hand."


    "Hanin," Dino stopped his daughter. Dino doesn''t want to be labeled as a bad teacher to her daughter.


    "I''m just saying what I saw dad," Hanin smirked at Rere. Hanin obviously showed her strong dislike for Rere. Hanin behaved like that because Rere treated her dad badly. "Goodbye, dad. Be careful there. I will miss you." Hanin hugged Dino before the man went inside for check-in.


    Leon and Hanin waved goodbye to Dino. Rere was happy because she will be free from Dino.


    Hanin took Leon''s hand leaving the airport. She didn''t want to look at Rere. They didn''t make a sound as the silence filled the car. Hanin plays her tablet in the car, and invites Leon to play with her.


    "Hanin, don''t play with your cellphone! We''re in the car. You''ll have a headache." Rere reminded.


    "I''m used to it," Hanin replied curtly without looking at Rere.


    "Hanin, if Mommy says stop, then you will stop." Rere couldn''t contain her emotions. She tried to be patient since Hanin ignored her


    at the airport.


    "You cannot stop me. You are no one to me," Hanin retorted. The little girl was still busy looking up at the tablet screen. Hanin busied herself playing games, and asked her brother to guess the picture.


    "Hanin, don''t be impolite, you need to call me mommy!"


    "You are not my mother. My mother has died. Mom Dila is a substitute for my mother. You don''t love me. You only love Leon."


    "Why do you say that?" Rere growled in annoyance. The driver could only hear and look from the rearview mirror at Rere and Hanin''s dispute.


    "Auntie doesn''t love me. Auntie hates dad and me. Auntie only wants to live alone with Leon. I love Leon because my dad said I should love my brother." Hanin stroked Leon''s head. The boy was busy playing and ignored Rere and Hanin''s argument.


    "Hanin talk politely with mommy!"


    "Are you talking politely to dad? You think I don''t know how you treat dad. You ignored dad. You hate dad."


    Like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, the words Hanin said freeze Rere. She couldn''t believe what she heard. She thought that Hanin would not dare to speak to her face-to-face. Hanin even dared to fight her without the slightest fear. She was also shocked that the seven-year-old girl knew how bad his relationship with Dino. Hanin is very mature for a girl her age.


    "Don''t make up that kind of story, Hanin." Rere dodged, denying Hanin''s statement.


    "If I was good at making a story, I might have become a famous author, Auntie."


    "Talk to me respectfully or I''ll drop you off here!"


    "Just do it. I am not afraid. Your attitude proves that all the stepmothers are cruel. There are bad stepmothers. You prove to me that all stepmothers will never love their stepchildren."


    Rere''s throat tightened. She didn''t expect those words to come out of Hanin''s small lips. She didn''t know who taught Hanin to be so mean and unfriendly.


    "Hanin, I didn''t mean that." Rere tried to give in as she lowered her voice. She didn''t want to hurt her stepdaughter''s feelings.


    "You don''t have to be nice to me, Auntie."


    "Hanin, I don''t know how to explain it to you, in fact...."


    "No need, Auntie."


    "Don''t be stubborn, Hanin."


    "Aunt is the stubborn one, not me."


    Rere is frustrated with her stepdaughter. She thought Hanin was an innocent child, it turned out she was wrong. Rere found Hanin''s attitude was exactly like her. Stubborn and never want to lose. The girl couldn''t be bothered and did not waver even a little bit.


    Abi, the driver, was silent and did not dare to comment. Rere did not know that her conversation with Hanin was heard by Bara since Abi was on the phone with Bara. The man did not turn off the cellphone.


    Arriving at the house, Hanin immediately got out of the car. Instead of going inside Rere''s house, she went to Dila''s house.


    "Hani, where are you going?"


    "I am going to mom''s home."


    "Your home is here."


    "No, it''s Leon''s home, not mine. My home is at Mom Dila''s place."


    "Big sis, where are you going?" Leon asked innocently. "I want to play with you, big sister."


    "Later, handsome brother. Big sister has to go to school first. We''ll play again later." Hanin stroked Leon''s cheek and then hugged him.


    After that, the little girl just left without looking at Rere. The girl was still annoyed at Rere for treating her dad terribly. Rere only cares about Leon. Rere never showed concern for her.


    Rere took Leon''s hand and entered the house. She halted her steps when she saw Ainil standing with her hand on her hips.


    "Why didn''t Hanin come back here and go to Dila''s place instead?"


    "She wants to be with her mom, not Mommy."


    "You should have won the child''s heart. Hanin has become your daughter, Rere. It''s your responsibility to look after her when her father is away."


    "It''s not that I don''t want to. Hanin doesn''t want to be with me."


    "This is your fault."


    "Why is it my fault?" Rere doesn''t want to be blamed.


    "You''re wrong for discriminating against her. When you come home from your honeymoon. You just hugged and asked how Leon was. She''s waiting for you to greet her, but you''re busy with Leon instead. You ignore her. I often see Hanin daydreaming seeing you and Leon. You two just played together and didn''t invite her. Little children have very sensitive feelings, Rere. Treat her properly."


    Rere was shocked. Realizing her attitude had hurt Hanin''s feelings. No wonder the child is not friendly and hates her.


    "Fix your relationship with her. Hanin is your child, not Dila''s child!"

 Chapter 84 - Why Is Hanin Angry At Me?

    Rere took Leon''s hand and entered the house. She halted her steps when she saw Ainil standing with her hand on her hips.


    "Why didn''t Hanin come back here and go to Dila''s place instead?"


    "She wants to be with her mom, not Mommy."


    "You should have won the child''s heart. Hanin has become your daughter, Rere. It''s your responsibility to look after her when her father is away."


    "It''s not that I don''t want to. Hanin doesn''t want to be with me."


    "This is your fault."


    "Why is it my fault?" Rere doesn''t want to be blamed.


    "You''re wrong for discriminating against her. When you come home from your honeymoon. You just hugged and asked how Leon was. She''s waiting for you to greet her, but you''re busy with Leon instead. You ignore her. I often see Hanin daydreaming seeing you and Leon. You two just played together and didn''t invite her. Little children have very sensitive feelings, Rere. Treat her properly."


    Rere was shocked. Realizing her attitude had hurt Hanin''s feelings. No wonder the child is not friendly and hates her.


    "Fix your relationship with her. Hanin is your child, not Dila''s child!"


    ******


    "I have a headache facing Hanin," Rere said to Tia when they met at lunchtime. Tia had to cancel her lunch with Daniel because Rere wanted to vent her anger.


    "What about her? Aren''t you guys close? You promised to be a good mother to her."


    "I can''t Tia. I''m not her real mother. Do I have a child as big as her? You can say that I was eighteen years old when I gave birth to her."


    "Why are you being selfish, Re? Marrying Mr. Dino means you have to be ready to accept Hanin. Didn''t you promise in front of Dila that you would love and not differentiate Leon and Hanin''s affection? Why aren''t you being consistent with your own words?"


    "Why are you mad at me?"


    "I have to remind you if you are wrong. You may hate Mr. Dino but do not let his daughter be a release for your anger."


    "Did you know that the girl showed her true attitude towards me? She doesn''t want to call me mommy anymore and started to call me auntie. Hanin is the female version of Dino. Like father, like daughter. Annoying." Rere took a sip of her drink. She ate so fast that her mouth was full of food. Rere almost choked if she didn''t sip the water.


    "Eat slowly."


    "I''m hurt by her attitude." Rere cut the sausage and put it in her mouth. She was still annoyed and did not accept Hanin''s rudeness toward her this morning.


    "How could you be offended at a child, Re? Don''t be childish. She was a little girl. As a mother, you must be able to understand the condition of your stepdaughter."


    "Why are you defending Hanin?"


    "I''m not defending her. I''m trying to be fair. There must be a reason behind Hanin''s rude attitude. There is no way she snapped just like that. I think she is a good and polite girl. Remember who raised her? She was raised by Dila. There''s no way Dila can teach her bad things."


    "Sis Dila may not do something like that. It should be Dino." Rere growled in annoyance as he recalled Dino.


    "You can''t make such an accusation. Have you got words from your husband? Has he reached KL yet?"


    "Whatever. It is none of my business."


    "Gosh, Rere." Tia smacked her best friend''s head.


    "What are you doing?" Rere protested not liking Tia''s rude action.


    "I''m annoyed with you. At least show your devotion to your husband. Remember, he is Hanin and Leon''s father. If anything happens to him it will affect the children. Remember Re, marriage is not only about your happiness. Think about your children and in-laws'' feelings. How long will you reject this marriage? Whether you want to curse or go berserk, Dino is still your husband. Without God''s intervention, it would be impossible for you to get married."


    "Aren''t you tired advise me all the time?" Rere grumbled while looking at Tia with a pouting mouth.


    "I won''t be tired until you change, Rere. I''m your friend. If you are wrong, I should have reminded you."


    "I''m still curious. Why is Hanin being curt and rude to me? She has no respect for me." Rere stopped eating. She crossed her hands and drowned in her own thoughts. Rere was thinking of the reason why Hanin''s attitude was so bad toward her.


    "Try to remember. Have you ever cursed Dino in front of Hanin? A child is good at copying adults. If they see an adult being rude, they will imitate that kind of behavior."


    Rere rubbed her face roughly, trying to think for a moment. Instead of getting a clue, she was frustrated.


    "I don''t know. I don''t want to know!" Rere hit the table.


    "Take it easy, sis. Don''t vent your anger at me." Tia quipped loudly. Sometimes Tia is upset and exasperated at the same time when facing Rere.


    ''Auntie doesn''t love me. Auntie hates dad and me. Aunt only wants to live alone with Leon. I love Leon because my dad said I should love my brother.''


    ''Did you speak politely to dad? You think I don''t know how you treat dad. You ignored dad. You hate dad.''


    Hanin''s words rang in Rere''s ears. She remembered why Hanin was so angry with her.


    "Hanin asked me earlier whether I spoke politely to his dad or not? She said I ignored Dino," said Rere innocently.


    "I''ve found the reason. Hanin must have seen you guys fighting."


    "Really?" Rere didn''t believe Tia''s theory.


    "If she did not see it, how can she know about that? Dino is also not a petty and stupid man for telling your household problems to a child. Think about it logically."


    "That is true," Rere confirmed Tia''s words. "Then what should I do? Earlier, Hanin also said that I didn''t love her and I just love Leon."


    "Try to remember it again, Re. It''s not too late to fix your relationship with Hanin. If she hates you as a child, she could hate you until she reaches adulthood."


    "As if I will marry Dino for the rest of my life." Rere chuckled and nudged Tia''s arm.


    "We will never know people''s hearts, Re. Time can change everything, including your feelings with Dino. Don''t be so arrogant. Oh yes, first try to remember the words you said to Dino. Who knows that could be the trigger of Hanin''s anger."


    Rere tried to remember her argument with Dino that could hurt Hanin. Suddenly her body went limp remembering her words to Dino.


    "Gosh." Rere tap forehead.


    "What is wrong?"


    "Dino once complained to me since I care about Leon more than Hanin. I said I didn''t care at the time. Did Hanin hear what I said that time and get angry at me? She even compared me to Sis Dila."


    Tia took a deep breath. She had guessed it beforehand. A child as good as Hanin can''t change drastically in a short period. There must be a trigger.


    "That''s why you should be careful, Re. The tongue is sharp like a sword that can hurt the heart. Even though Hanin is still a child, she is human with a heart and feelings. That kid definitely doesn''t accept your bad treatment with Dino. How do you feel about Dino? Hanin also behaved like that. They are good imitators. Didn''t you find Hanin pitiful? When she was young, the girl had lost her mother. You should understand her personality."


    "Then, what should I do?" Rere was confused and was lost for words. She finally admits her mistake.


    "That''s why you need to control your mouth when you are with Dino. Hanin could have peeked at you when you were arguing. She would never know how bad you treat Dino if she doesn''t see it in person. Did you guys fight in the room?"


    Rere nodded.


    "If you two fight in your room, there''s no way anyone else will hear except the kids."


    "You''re right." Rere leaned her head against the table and banged it.


    "Are you crazy? Why are you banging your head on the table?"


    "Punishment for being careless. I am very sorry and guilty. Why did Hanin find out about that?"


    "There''s nothing to be sorry for. It''s your job now to fix your relationship with Hanin."


    "How? Hanin avoided me and only wanted to be near Sis Dila."


    "You need to think about that and then do it. You need to be good to Hanin." Tia glanced at the watch in her hand. "My lunch hour is over. Mr. Bara will be angry if I''m late."


    "Alright. Just go back to your work."


    "When are you coming back to work?"


    "When I wanted to."


    Tia left Rere first because it was already office hours. Tia doesn''t want to take the risk since Bara is quite scary when angry. Tia feels like her soul will leave her body when Bara is angry. While Rere was queuing at the cashier''s desk to pay for her lunch with Tia,


    a man wearing a blue shirt with tan skin looking at Rere. His eyes stared at Rere. The man''s eyes didn''t blink even for a second, afraid to lose Rere even if it was only for a moment. It was a coincidence that they met at this place.

 Chapter 85 - Give Me A Second Chance (1)

    Tia left Rere first because it was already office hours. Tia doesn''t want to take the risk since Bara is quite scary when angry. Tia feels like her soul will leave her body when Bara is angry. While Rere was queuing at the cashier''s desk to pay for her lunch with Tia,


    a man wearing a blue shirt with tan skin looking at Rere. His eyes stared at Rere. The man''s eyes didn''t blink even for a second, afraid to lose Rere even if it was only for a moment. It was a coincidence that they met at this place.


    Rere turned around and stopped when she saw a man blocking her path.


    "Re," the man called her name hoarsely, trying to smile even though he was nervous and shaking. When he meets the woman he loves, his heart beats faster, blood pumps harder, and his hands trembling. He felt like he met a ghost that snatches away oxygen around him and makes his heart moves louder than a tractor.


    "Angga," Rere softly called the name of her ex-lover. Rere dodged him but Angga quickly grabbed her arm. "What''s the matter?" Rere is annoyed.


    "We need to talk."


    The cups of green tea in front of Rere and Angga were almost empty, but they were still silent. Rere was just waiting for Angga to speak while cursing her bad luck for meeting Angga in the wrong situation and time.


    Rere occasionally glanced at the watch that wrapped around her left wrist. Rere was aware that they had been sitting for thirty minutes but they didn''t speak anything at all.


    "Re," Angga said, friendly with passionate love.


    "What is wrong?" Rere asked with a faint smile. To be honest, she didn''t feel comfortable sitting with Angga.


    "Would you like to order some food?" Angga said while pushing the food menu to Rere.


    "I''ve eaten with Tia," Rere refused quickly, rejecting the menu book that was being offered by Angga to her.


    Angga swallowed hard because Rere''s attitude was still the same, bitter and cold. Angga wants her old Rere, the warm and spoiled Rere.


    "What about a snack?" Angga busied himself flipping through the menu, thinking about what to order.


    "Can you hurry up? I must go home since my children are waiting for me."


    Angga smiled meaningfully at Rere, "Okay, I''ll talk."


    "What do you want to talk about?"


    "Don''t be so stiff with me, Re. Can you be friendly like when we were in college?"


    "That''s our past. We live in the present now, not in the past. I am married. Can you stop approaching me?"


    "No." Angga shook his head. "You are the most important woman in my life. I''ve been looking for you for the past three years. My heart is long for you. I cannot forget you."


    "Bullshit!" Rere couldn''t believe it.


    "I''m telling you the truth. You are always in my heart."


    "Come on, Angga. Don''t talk about this nonsense anymore. I''m sick and tired of hearing your love confession. I am married!"


    "I know that you are forced to marry Dino, you don''t love him." Angga held Rere''s hand tightly. Even though Rere struggled to free her hand, the man didn''t care at all. Angga only cares about his feelings. His love for Rere is timeless and sincere.


    Rere just kept quiet and ignored Angga''s words. Her sharp eyes looked at Angga. There is no love, only hatred left.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you miss me?"


    Rere smiled stiffly as she massaged her temples. A new problem comes after another. First, she had a fight with Dino, then she had another spat with Hanin, and now she even met Angga.


    "Nothing. I only feel pity for you," Rere said sharply.


    The man just smiled. Not offended by Rere''s harsh words.


    "Have you done?" Rere got up from her chair and hurried out of the restaurant.


    Angga stopped her again. The man spread his arms, trying to block Rere.


    "We haven''t finished talking, Re. Sit down." Angga led Rere to sit back down.


    "Speak before my patience runs out!"


    "Good." Aga nodded. "Why did you marry Dino?"


    "None of your business!" Rere spoke firmly.


    "It is my business since you are my lover."


    "We''ve broken up since that incident. There is no relationship between us anymore. I am the wife of Dino Putra Chaniago."


    "Stop lying, Re. I know you don''t love Dino. You married only for the sake of the child, you love me, not Dino. I know that you are forced by Bara to marry that man."


    "Stop acting like you know everything." Rere hit the table to vent her anger.


    "Relax. Why are you acting like a barbarian? Rere I know is a graceful and tender woman."


    "That Rere is long dead."


    "It''s true that time can change a person''s character."


    "Therefore you should know your place."


    "I know my place when I realized that you still love me. My name is still craved in your heart. I know that you just pretend to hate me. That night I acted under the influence of alcohol. Can we go back to how we used to be? We become lovers again and you divorce Dino. Let''s get married. I will accept Leon as my son."


    Rere got up and slapped Angga. Her eyes glazed over from the humiliation that she felt.


    "Watch your mouth! I''m not a lowly woman."


    "Who said you were a lowly woman? You are an honorable woman in my eyes."


    Rere clenched her fists in anger. She almost cried because he realized Angga''s love for her was so big. Although several years have passed, his love never changes.


    Rere feels sick because she can''t be with Angga. She realized that Angga made a mistake that night. The man had no intention of hurting her. Rere has long forgiven Angga. She had let go of what happened at that time. Angga never raped her. She just feels dirty and humiliated, so she avoids and stays away from Angga. The guy deserves a better woman.


    "Kahlil Gibran once said, love is the only freedom in the world because love awakens the spirit of the laws of humanity even natural phenomena cannot change its course. Love is like a beautiful bird; it wants to be caught but refuses to be hurt."


    Rere smiled sadly while looking at Angga. The man''s self-confidence was very high.


    "Hamka also said once, love is a feeling that must exist in every human being. It is like a drop of dew that falls from the sky, clean and pure. Only the land is different to accept it. If it falls on barren ground, the dew will grow, lying, deceit, and other despicable things. But if it falls into fertile soil, there will grow purity of heart, sincerity, loyalty, high character, and other praiseworthy things."


    "Do you want to be a love poet?" Rere was sick of hearing Angga''s words.


    "For your sake, I will become a love poet." Aga smiled proudly.


    "You''re wasting my time!"


    "Re," Angga softly called Rere as he grabbed Rere''s arm. He couldn''t just let Rere go.


    "Let go of me!" Rere''s eyes were sharp. Her murderous gaze made anyone who saw her have goosebumps.


    Angga''s body trembled as he let go of Rere''s hand.


    Rere sighed with a heavy heart. It was difficult for her to make Angga understand. Even though she talked until her mouth was foaming, her words were just a breeze for Angga. The man was adamant that Rere still loved him. Rere wanted to leave immediately but Angga stopped her again. The man was sane and insane at the same time.


    "Aga, please ..." Rere''s tone was softer and less assertive than before.


    "What?"


    Rere took a deep breath and let it out slowly.


    "Please don''t try to see me again ___________" Rere bit her lip then let her words just hang in the air.


    Angga looked at Rere closely. He even raised an eyebrow to wait for Rere to continue.


    "I don''t want to see you again. You may say that our meeting was fate, but to me, it was just a coincidence. Do not be too confident."


    "I know you didn''t mean it. Your eyes say otherwise." Angga was firm in his stance.


    "I don''t want to talk about us anymore. I''ve forgotten you. Let me be happy."


    "Your happiness lies with me, not with Dino."


    "To hell with your words. I am a mother, Angga. Leon is my priority now, I am not living by myself anymore. Open your mind. I''m a married woman. Don''t make me a lowly woman by coming to me."


    "You are not a lowly woman. You''re an honorable woman."


    "For you, not for anyone else. Please keep my honor as a wife and mother."


    "Tell me what Dino can give you that I can''t. You''ve only seen each other for a few months."


    "He gave me a child. Satisfied?" Rere was really fed up talking to Angga now.

 Chapter 86 - Give Me A Second Chance (2)

    Rere sighed with a heavy heart. It was difficult for her to make Angga understand. Even though she talked until her mouth was foaming, her words were just a breeze for Angga. The man was adamant that Rere still loved him. Rere wanted to leave immediately but Angga stopped her again. The man was sane and insane at the same time.


    "Aga, please ..." Rere''s tone was softer and less assertive than before.


    "What?"


    Rere took a deep breath and let it out slowly.


    "Please don''t try to see me again ___________" Rere bit her lip then let her words just hang in the air.


    Angga looked at Rere closely. He even raised an eyebrow to wait for Rere to continue.


    "I don''t want to see you again. You may say that our meeting was fate, but to me, it was just a coincidence. Do not be too confident."


    "I know you didn''t mean it. Your eyes say otherwise." Angga was firm in his stance.


    "I don''t want to talk about us anymore. I''ve forgotten you. Let me be happy."


    "Your happiness lies with me, not with Dino."


    "To hell with your words. I am a mother, Angga. Leon is my priority now, I am not living by myself anymore. Open your mind. I''m a married woman. Don''t make me a lowly woman by coming to me."


    "You are not a lowly woman. You''re an honorable woman."


    "For you, not for anyone else. Please keep my honor as a wife and mother."


    "Tell me what Dino can give you that I can''t. You''ve only seen each other for a few months."


    "He gave me a child. Satisfied?" Rere was really fed up talking to Angga now.


    "I can also give it to you as long as you become my wife."


    "Watch your mouth!" Rere did not accept Angga''s words. Her index finger pointed angrily at Angga. She doesn''t understand what kind of language she should use to make Angga understand her position.


    "Sorry, I don''t want to break up. To me, we are still a couple."


    "Like I said earlier. I am a wife and a mother. There''s no way we can get back. do you understand?," Rere softly spoke. Her eyes were glassy as she was about to cry. She was feeling chaotic and messy since Angga managed to destroy her defense. There is still a little love for Angga even though she refuses to admit it.


    "You need me, Re. You need me when you''re down. You need me when you''re down and fragile. You can''t lie to me. You keep your wounds to yourself. Don''t keep your scars alone, share them with me. I will give you my shoulder to lean on."


    Rere froze in front of Angga since she was speechless. Realize that his words are sincere and honest.


    "Don''t trap yourself in marriage with Dino. Married the longest worship in life, Re. How long can you stay married to a man you don''t love? Don''t just think about other people''s happiness. Find your own happiness. How long can you keep your feelings in your heart? Happiness is what we create. You can''t lie to your heart, there is still love for me." Angga insisted and held both of Rere''s arms.


    "Let go of my hand!" Rere looked at him with intimidation. Still sticking with the principle. Rere left in front of Angga. She stepped on Angga''s feet while passing the man.


    Angga winced at the pain from his leg. He immediately chased Rere to ask for a second chance. He did it to fix their relationship. He had to maintain this relationship because of his deep love for Rere. She had stolen his heart and turned his world upside down. Rere is his only happiness.


    Angga never thought of having a relationship with another woman because his heart belongs to Rere. He wants their relationship to have a happy ending. He should be the one to marry Rere, not Dino. Sometimes Angga curses himself. Why he is not the one who impregnates Rere at that time? If Leon is his son, maybe the man who got the title of Rere''s husband would be him.


    "Re, wait Re. I want to talk to you. We''re not done talking yet. I love you. Please don''t leave me. I cannot live without you. I don''t want to have nightmares about our breakup. I love you with all my life," Angga said, stopping Rere when she was just a step behind the car.


    "Enough! I don''t want to hear about it again." Rere covered her ears and took a deep breath.


    "I can''t just let you go, Re.  I''m serious about our relationship. Do you remember that I was going to propose to you when we finished college? Even though I was unemployed at the time, I spoke earnestly. I swear, my heart only belongs to you."


    "Love can''t be forced, Angga. I don''t want to come back to you."


    "No! I won''t let you go to Dino. You are forced to marry him. Before everything gets worse, you need to divorce Dino! Let''s get married."


    Angga''s words received a hard slap from Rere. A red trail left on Angga''s cheek.


    "Re, what are you doing?" Angga was surprised to get a slap.


    "You are crazy. You shouldn''t have told me to divorce Dino. You think this marriage is a joke. What did you take me for? What you said earlier was not love. You even humiliated and abused me as a wife. Whether I love Dino or not, it''s none of your business. I never asked for your opinion. Stop boasting."


    "I''m not boasting, Re. I know you are being rude to me so I will stay away from you. There''s something you''re hiding from me."


    Rere just glared at him full of anger. She exploded since she couldn''t control her annoyance and frustration. Angga didn''t listen to her.


    "Tell me, are you hiding something from me? Did Dino threaten you so much to maintain his dignity?"


    Rere was silent and she just stared at Angga deeply without saying anything.


    "Tell me, Re!"


    Rere still stands quietly. There was no sign that she will speak.


    "Re!"


    Again, Rere was silent.


    "Did you sleep with Dino and get hypnotized by that old man charm?"


    "Watch your words. Don''t insult my husband. You need to be careful when speaking Angga. Dino is my husband, of course, I slept with him. We make love every night. It gives me love and warmth. I can''t stay away from him. Dino''s touch is driving me crazy."


    "Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh." Angga went berserk as he left Rere because he could not hear Rere''s vulgar words.


    "Sorry Angga," said Rere slowly looking at Angga''s departure. There was a pity welling up in her heart. Rere can''t lie to her feelings that she still loves Angga but her current status makes her trapped and helpless. Rere doesn''t want Dino to use Angga as a weapon to harass and humiliate her in front of her family.


    Rere got into the car. Instead of leaving, she was sobbing instead. She regretted her words. Realized that she had hurt Angga. Her heart ached to see Angga''s pitiful cry.


    "I''m sorry Angga. I didn''t mean to hurt you but if I didn''t say it, you would keep chasing me. I have forgiven you but reconciliation is impossible. There are too many barriers between us."


    *****


    "Where were you?" Bara asked Tia who had just returned from lunch.


    "I went out for lunch with Rere, Sir."


    Bara nodded, "I see, come to my office. There is something I want to talk about!"


    "Okay, sir," Tia said as she followed Bara into the room.


    "Sis Dila has gone home, sir?" She stammered.


    "She is," Bara said, sitting in his chair. Tia sat in front of Bara. Her hands were shaking, wondering what Bara want to talk about. Tia was sure that their conversation had nothing to do with work.


    "What do you want to talk about, Sir?"


    "You know how much I love Rere, right?"


    "Yes, Sir."


    "Good."


    Tia just nodded, waiting for Bara to speak.


    "Did Rere tell you about her relationship with Dino?"


    "Why are you asking me, sir? You can ask Rere directly about that."


    Bara was furious, his lips pouted annoyedly at Tia. "If Rere talked to me about that, I would never ask you."


    "Sorry, sir," Tia said regretfully.


    "You don''t have to be sorry for that." Bara waved his hand in the air. "What did she tell you?"


    "I feel sorry for Mr.Dino, sir."


    "Why are you feel sorry for him?"


    "Rere is stubborn and childish. She not only had a fight with Mr. Dino but also with Hanin. The girl didn''t want to call her mommy anymore and started to call her aunt since she felt that Rere didn''t care about her. Rere is also still resentful and angry at Mr. Dino for insulting her at that time. Rere is very selfish, sir. She is not aware of her status and nature as a wife."

 Chapter 87 - Knowing Baras Motives

    "Where were you?" Bara asked Tia who had just returned from lunch.


    "I went out for lunch with Rere, Sir."


    Bara nodded, "I see, come to my office. There is something I want to talk about!"


    "Okay, sir," Tia said as she followed Bara into the room.


    "Sis Dila has gone home, sir?" She stammered.


    "She is," Bara said, sitting in his chair. Tia sat in front of Bara. Her hands were shaking, wondering what Bara want to talk about. Tia was sure that their conversation had nothing to do with work.


    "What do you want to talk about, Sir?"


    "You know how much I love Rere, right?"


    "Yes, Sir."


    "Good."


    Tia just nodded, waiting for Bara to speak.


    "Did Rere tell you about her relationship with Dino?"


    "Why are you asking me, sir? You can ask Rere directly about that."


    Bara was furious, his lips pouted annoyedly at Tia. "If Rere talked to me about that, I would never ask you."


    "Sorry, sir," Tia said regretfully.


    "You don''t have to be sorry for that." Bara waved his hand in the air. "What did she tell you?"


    "I feel sorry for Mr.Dino, sir."


    "Why are you feel sorry for him?"


    "Rere is stubborn and childish. She not only had a fight with Mr. Dino but also with Hanin. The girl didn''t want to call her mommy anymore and started to call her aunt since she felt that Rere didn''t care about her. Rere is also still resentful and angry at Mr. Dino for insulting her at that time. Rere is very selfish, sir. She is not aware of her status and nature as a wife."


    "I feel guilty for Mr. Dino. He should be appreciated for his braveness to take responsibility for his actions. I''m confused with Rere''s mind. Why is she acting like that?"


    "They had a big fight on their honeymoon."


    "You don''t need to tell me about that. I already know."


    "Thank goodness that you know. I was at my wit''s end to advise Rere. Her heart is so hard as a stone."


    "I understand women''s feelings. A woman will never forget the man who hurt her heart. She would always remember the person who left a scar in her heart clearly, although Dino had already made it clear that all of it was a misunderstanding."


    "I know, sir," said Tia, glancing at Bara who was contemplating. Tia is not a stupid woman. She understood very well the reason Bara was trying so hard to unite Dino and Rere. The man was just jealous and afraid since Dino was close to his wife. Tia also knew that Dino had a crush on Dila. Bara and Dino even had a fistfight over Dila.


    "What are you looking at?" Bara realized that Tia was observing him.


    "Nothing, sir," Tia replied nervously, she coughed because Bara caught her looking at him.


    "You can''t lie to me. You have been working as my secretary for a long time. I know exactly your character. Don''t try to lie to me." Bara flicked Tia''s temple until the girl squealed in pain.


    "Awww. It hurt." Tia protested rubbing her temples.


    "Don''t look at me like that next time. You seem suspicious of me."


    "N-no, sir." Tia got up from her seat and made the army salute pose.


    "What are you doing?" Bara said as he saw his secretary''s absurd behavior. "Did you really suspect me?"


    "How dare I do that, sir."


    "How about our construction at Mall Costa?"


    "So far, everything was fine, sir. There is no problem whatsoever. The mall will be completed according to schedule. Maybe you need to get down to the project to encourage the employees?"


    "Did you just give me an order?"


    "No sir. it was simply a suggestion," Tia said gently with a smile.


    "Don''t change the subject. You suspect me, right, Why?"


    Tia pinched her temples as she started to panic.


    "What do you mean, sir?"


    "Just be honest with me or I''ll force you to talk."


    "I just think that you try too hard to unite Mr. Dino and Rere since you were afraid of losing Dila, sir. You are afraid that Dino and Dila will get close again because of Hanin. You don''t want to lose your wife for a second time." Tia finally spoke.


    Bara was stunned, frozen in his seat. He was pondering whether his actions were right or not.


    "Based on Mr. Dino''s character, he will not take sis Dila away from you. You don''t need to doubt Sister Dila''s feelings. If she does not love and care for you, there is no way she would be willing to leave everything to protect you. Remember sir, Sis Dila endured her suffering alone. She was pregnant with the triplets without her husband''s company. Nothing hurts more than that. Sis Dila did it all because she loves and wants to protect you. She had to leave you since she loves you. You must know that women don''t want to see the men they love suffer. Roughly speaking, Women are more willing to see the man they love happy with another woman than to see them die."


    Bara feels his throat tighten as Tia''s words pierced his heart.


    "Mr. Dino and sis Dila will definitely be disappointed if they know that you mistrust them. After all, they are cousins. Trust me, sir. You just need to let Mr. Dino and Rere''s relationship develops naturally. We don''t have to interfere anymore. Sorry, if I advise you, sir. I don''t mean to be rude but since this conversation has nothing to do with our work, I feel that I can express my opinion easily. If Rere finds out that you unite her and Mr. Dino so Mr. Dino can stay away from Dila, she will be furious. I won''t tell Rere about this though."


    "Get out of my room," said Bara.


    "Yes, Sir." Tia walked out of Bara''s office. She did not want to talk anymore because Bara''s mood worsened.


    Tia took a glass of water since she was really nervous to advise Bara so daringly. She regretted her brash words to Bara.


    Tia spilled the water when Dian suddenly appeared in front of her. Tia''s face paled as she was just seeing a ghost.


    "What is wrong?" Dian asked, raising her eyebrows.


    "Nothing ma''am."


    "Don''t lie to me, Tia." Dian smiled as she pinched Tia''s cheek.


    The girl was shocked. She was just talking to a demon and now she met a demoness instead. Double kill! Tia cursed her fate.


    "Do you want to tell me about it or do you want me to use force? Has the boss''s mood worsened again?"


    Tia then was forced to narrate her conversation with Bara.


    "What a crazy lover." Dian cursed Bara.


    "Why are you cursing your boss?" Tia frowned.


    "He is a fool when it came to his wife. He loves his wife too much that he is afraid of losing her. This problem should not reach Rere''s ears. There will be chaos if that stubborn girl finds out."


    "I''ll keep my mouth shut, ma''am."


    Dian patted Tia''s shoulder.


    "Good job, Tia."


    "Would you like to see the boss?"


    "Now is not the right time for us to talk. I''ll be back when the crazy lover''s mood improves."


    "Okay, ma''am." Tia nodded.


    "I accidentally saw Angga and Rere at the mall. Please advise your friends not to play with fire. Don''t embarrass her family by meeting her ex. She needs to remember her status as a wife."


    "Really? Rere just had lunch with me there."


    "I am not farsighted yet, Tia."


    "Okay, ma''am. Thanks for the information."


    *****


    Dino stared intently at the view of KL city from the window while drinking his coffee. Arriving in the capital, the man immediately headed for the office. The work has piled up since he left for some time. How many glasses has he drunk? Dino relieves his stress by drinking coffee now. The One Night Stand incident with Rere traumatized Dino. He didn''t want to repeat the same mistake, therefore since that incident, Dino has stop drinking alcohol and start drinking coffee. At least the coffee won''t make him drunk and lose control.


    The pain in his heart cannot be forgotten since Rere''s words keep ringing in his ears.  Although he likes flirting with her, Dino is not a cunning man who uses dirty ways to win Rere''s heart. His relationship with Rere is not getting better but worsens every passing day. In fact, Dino''s intention to marry Rere was not only for Leon''s sake but also for his sake since he wanted to make Rere his last woman. Dino wasn''t a hypocrite to deny that he started liking that stubborn girl. Her expression when she was angry made her look cuter in Dino''s eyes.


    Dino took another sip of coffee with feelings of devastation and disappointment. He had to swallow the bitter pill that Rere still had a grudge and hated him. Dino was at his wit''s end on how to conquer Rere''s heart. It''s not easy to get her heart. He looked back at the empty glass in his hand. Dino put down the empty glass and asked the office girls to prepare a few cups of coffee for him.

 Chapter 88 - New Secretary

    Dino stared intently at the view of KL city from the window while drinking his coffee. Arriving in the capital, the man immediately headed for the office. The work has piled up since he left for some time. How many glasses has he drunk? Dino relieves his stress by drinking coffee now. The One Night Stand incident with Rere traumatized Dino.

Dino wasn''t a hypocrite to deny that he started liking that stubborn girl. Her expression when she was angry made her look cuter in Dino''s eyes.


    Dino took another sip of coffee with feelings of devastation and disappointment. He had to swallow the bitter pill that Rere still had a grudge and hated him. Dino was at his wit''s end on how to conquer Rere''s heart. It''s not easy to get her heart. He looked back at the empty glass in his hand. Dino put down the empty glass and asked the office girls to prepare a few cups of coffee for him.


    Dino looked at his wedding photo with Rere which was deliberately displayed on his desk. His gaze was blank. Seeing Rere''s smile made his heart tremble. There was a tingling feeling in the corners of his heart. Dino wanted to be like any other couple, hugging and sharing everything with his wife. He had been a lonely man for four years. Ananya''s death left a wound in his heart. It was not easy for Dino to accept Ananya''s death. He was at rock bottom when his first wife died. At that time Ananya was slandered and became the subject of media gossip.


    It''s natural to feel sad when someone loses a loved one. It''s not as easy as it seems when someone is told to let go of the person they loved forever. However, if humans learn to devote themselves only to God, life will be easier. Dino tries to accept the fact that Ananya''s death is a fate from God. The man loved his late wife very much.


    Dino took his cell phone and called Hanin. He had given Hanin a cell phone to make it easier for him to contact his daughter. Dino wanted to punish Rere and did not talk to her for a while. Dino smiled in relief seeing his daughter''s face.


    Hanin waved and smiled.


    "Hey, dad. Have you arrived at KL?"


    "Yes, dear. How was your school today?"


    "It''s amazing, dad. I went to school with the triplets."


    "Are you happy?"


    "I''m very happy, dad. Thanks for asking."


    "Yes, honey. I hope I can always make you happy."


    "I love you, dad."


    "I love you too. Where is your brother?"


    "Leon is at Aunt Rere''s home. I stay at mom''s home. I will not meet Aunt Rere. I hate her."


    "Hanin, please¡­. Don''t hate her. She''s your mom." Dino advised his daughter.


    "She doesn''t love me, dad. Did you remember the old song? The stepmother only loves the father and hates the stepdaughter."


    "Who poisoned your mind?"


    "No one. I''m just old enough to understand everything."


    Dino laughed at Hanin''s funny response. Since when did his daughter become so mature? Dino didn''t realize that his daughter had grown up. The seven-year-old girl is more mature than her age now.


    "Hanin, please be nice to mommy. If you behave badly, people will say that dad failed to educate you."


    "But dad¡­.I''m just copying Aunt Rere''s attitude towards you. I will avenge you. I know that aunty treats you badly. He was bad at you."


    Dino was shocked. His chest felt tight when he heard Hanin''s words. Who told her about this?


    "Who said mommy was bad to dad?" Dino kept calling Rere ''mommy'' in front of Hanin.


    "Your acting is so bad that you can''t deceive me forever."


    "Hanin, please..."


    "I saw you fighting with Aunt Rere."


    "Gosh." Dino cursed his stupidity because Hanin saw his fight with Rere.


    The sound of the door opening came from Dino''s office. The man turned his head to see who was coming. Dino saw Nesya enter his room with a younger woman. Nesya is Dino''s trustworthy secretary. She had worked with him for ten years. Nesya worked for him since she was just a freshly graduated girl until she was pregnant with her third child. Before she took her maternity leaves for three months, she needed to find a replacement secretary for Dino.


    "Sorry, sir. I knocked on the door earlier but there was no answer." Nesya apologized before Dino got angry for her presumptuous behavior. Nesya has difficulty walking because of her late pregnancy. She walked slowly while holding her waist.


    "Hanin, dad will call you again later. Take care of yourself."


    "Take care, dad." Hanin waved at the camera.


    A tall slim woman with fair skin standing next to Nesya. The woman wore a knee-length skirt with a formal shirt. Her hair was tied in a bun, revealing her long neck. Her neck is decorated with a necklace with an ''S'' inscription.


    "Sir, this is Sheila. She''s the new secretary who will replace me during my leave."


    "Sheila," the girl introduced herself.


    Dino cupped his hands in front of his chest not wanting to touch Sheila. The girl smiled, understanding of the boss''s gesture.


    "Dino." Dino nodded.


    Nesya sat in a chair without being invited since she couldn''t stand for long.


    "My choice fell on Sheila from all of the candidates. She has working experience as a secretary for two years. She quickly grasps what I teach her."


    "Good then. I believe in your choice. You must tell everything she needs to know before your maternity leave."


    "Don''t worry, sir. I will show Sheila her duties and responsibilities. I wouldn''t be able to rest easily if I didn''t make her accustomed to her work first."


    "I will do my best, sir. It is an honor to work for this company. I''ve always wanted to work for an advertising company."


    "Hope you enjoy working here."


    "I''m sure I will, sir." Sheila seems excited.


    Dino was relieved to see that. Hopefully, this secretary can work well and nimbly like Nesya. Dino is used to Nesya''s assistance, so he always compares the performance of other secretaries with Nesya. So far, Dino has not found a secretary who is better than Nesya.


    "Alright. You guys can go back to work," Dino said while looking at Nesya and Sheila.


    "Yes, Sir." Nesya got up from the chair.


    After only a few steps, Nesya stopped and turned to Dino.


    "Would you like some coffee, sir?" Nesya teased the boss.


    "It is enough. I don''t need it anymore."


    Nesya then left Dino''s room with Sheila.


    "Does the boss always drink that much coffee?" Sheila asked Nesya.


    "Never." Nessie answered with a shrug. She knew that Dino had a fight with his new wife since Dino had talked to her.


    *****


    "Hanin, let''s go home." Rere grabbed Hanin''s arm when she saw the girl playing in the park with the triplets. The four children were having a picnic. Incidentally, the housing complex provides a green garden for residents to relax from their busy routine.


    Rere didn''t want to be lectured by Ainil, so she decided to drag Hanin home. She couldn''t be gentle and kept her voice low anymore.


    "I don''t want to go home with auntie."


    "Let''s go home." Rere gripped her stepdaughter''s hand.


    "Take your hands off. I want to play."


    "Hanin, can you hear mommy? Be an obedient girl."


    "I learned everything from you."


    "What have you learned? I never taught you to be a bad kid."


    "You teach me to be like this." Hanin is firm in her stance.


    "Don''t make mommy angry, girl. Can you be a good girl?"


    "You''re no different than me," Hanin retorted as she took a toy cooking utensil and poured sand inside, and gave it to Salsa.


    "Thank you." Salsa smiled sweetly.


    "Hanin, listen to mommy. Let''s go home now since It''s late, plus you should take a bath."


    "I will take a bath at Mom Dila''s place."


    "I am your mother, not Dila."


    "Not. My mother is mom Ananya, not you."


    "I know that I can''t replace Mom Ananya''s position but you need to remember that I am your mother now. I just want to take care of you like Leon."


    "Just take care of Leon. I''m not your daughter!"


    "Hanin," Rere''s emotion was provoked as she decided to drag Hanin home.


    "Rere, what are you doing?" Dila gets annoyed seeing Rere drag Hanin.


    "This is my business. Do not interfere."


    "It''s my business because you hurt Hanin."


    The girl ran and hid behind Dila''s back as soon as Rere let go of her hand.


    "Mom, I''m scared. She is like a witch," Hanin said sarcastically at Rere.


    The triplets were busy playing with the sand, so they weren''t affected by Rere and Hanin''s fight.

 Chapter 89 - The Backbiters Neighbor

    "Hanin, let''s go home." Rere grabbed Hanin''s arm when she saw the girl playing in the park with the triplets. The four children were having a picnic. Incidentally, the housing complex provides a green garden for residents to relax from their busy routine.


    Rere didn''t want to be lectured by Ainil, so she decided to drag Hanin home. She couldn''t be gentle and kept her voice low anymore.

    "Rere, what are you doing?" Dila gets annoyed seeing Rere drag Hanin.


    "This is my business. Do not interfere."


    "It''s my business because you hurt Hanin."


    The girl ran and hid behind Dila''s back as soon as Rere let go of her hand.


    "Mom, I''m scared. She is like a witch," Hanin said sarcastically at Rere.


    The triplets were busy playing with the sand, so they weren''t affected by Rere and Hanin''s fight.


    "Re, you can''t force Hanin to go with you," Dila slowly explained.


    "You spoil her too much," Rere retorted.


    Dila was shocked and shuddered because it was the first time Rere spoke rudely to her.


    "I spoiled her?" Dila did not accept what Rere said as she approached Rere.


    "Why are you angry, sis? It is true that Hanin''s spoiled."


    "How can Hanin obey you if you don''t treat her nicely. You promised to love her as you love Leon, but in fact, you only care about Leon and ignored her. I have been silent all this time because I still believe that you will be mature and wise."


    "Don''t interfere. It''s a mother-daughter affair."


    "It''s my business since Dino has entrusted Hanin to me. No wonder Hanin doesn''t want to live with you and Dino leaves his daughter to me. Turns out you were really that bad."


    "Don''t talk nonsense, sis." Rere cannot accept what Dila said as her emotions exploded.


    The debate between Dila and Rere attracted the attention of the women in the complex as they gathered to watch the drama.


    "Isn''t that Mr. Bara''s wife and sister?"


    "You are right."


    "Looks like they had a fight."


    "Yes. They''re fighting over Hanin."


    "Rere is the girl who is pregnant out of wedlock, right?" An old woman who still looks so young glanced at her friends.


    "Huss! Don''t talk out loud. They''ll hear you."


    A mother took a cell phone and recorded Dila and Rere''s fight.


    "She is now married to Leon''s biological father."


    "Why did they just get married now?"


    "People said that Leon''s father used to have a wife. Rere is a homewrecker in that marriage, that''s why they don''t get married sooner and just do it after the man''s wife''s death."


    "Rere is a lowly woman. Even though she is rich, she wants to be the mistress of a married man. She really has no shame. What is she looking for? Since she has been rich since birth, it is not like she is after his wealth."


    "Rere reminds me of Da Kyung in a Korean drama. She is rich but wants to snatch away another woman''s husband. Creepy."


    "The woman is so annoying. She has no respect for her parent. It''s only natural that her stepdaughter doesn''t like her."


    "Hanin, mommy told you once again. You need to go home, take a shower, and then do your homework." Rere forced Hanin to go home.


    "Come on, Re. Don''t force Hanin."


    "Don''t interfere, sis."


    "The sister-in-law has no morals," said one of the complex''s mothers. Judging from her style, the mother is the head of the backbiter mother in the complex.


    "What business do you have to say that to me?" Rere was angry and didn''t accept such a comment.


    "You are really impolite. No wonder your stepdaughter doesn''t want to live with you. Just after Hanin''s father has returned to KL, you immediately started to abuse her. You seem like a cruel stepmother."


    "Hey old woman, don''t talk nonsense." Rere doesn''t want to lose since she is mentally strong. Her mother''s insult when she was pregnant with Leon had shaped her to be an ignorant woman.


    "Hanin must only get proper treatment from her mother when she is around her father."


    "Please¡­. ladies. It''s not what you think." Dila tried to mediate.


    "Don''t defend her, Dila. We have heard your fight," said one of the women.


    "It''s not what you think. It''s just a misunderstanding."


    "I always seem ugly in the eyes of this backbiter." Rere approached one of the mothers. She took one of the woman''s cell phones since she was recording everything. Rere quickly deleted the video. "Don''t meddle in my business by recording everything."


    "You need to talk politely to older people."


    "You are being disrespectful. I am talking to my sister-in-law, why are you guys getting angry? Are you happy to see us fight?"


    "You arrogant girl. You homewrecker!"


    "What did you say? a homewrecker?" Rere was angry.


    "Yes, you are a whore. You can''t marry Leon''s father because at that time he still had a wife, isn''t it? It''s useless to study abroad if you end up making babies out of wedlock."


    "Karma exists, so you need to watch your mouth. You have a daughter, right? Don''t go around insulting other people. Shame on you if this happened to your child!" Rere is irritated. She found the right moment to avenge the complex backbiter. Even though they are socialites, basically women like to gossip. The more they gossiped the more interesting the story.


    "You have a stinky mouth, lady. Is that a public toilet?" Another woman retorted.


    Rere clenched her fists in annoyance. If she doesn''t regard them as Ainil''s friends at social gatherings, Rere might slap them one by one.


    "It''s enough." Dila tried to be the middleman. "This is our family business. Please respect our privacy since we didn''t bother you."


    "You are weird, Dila. She is being very rude. We''re just helping you."


    "Thanks, but there''s no need to do that."


    The backbiting gang went back to their own homes. They were disappointed because they couldn''t watch a good drama.


    "Next time don''t speak loudly in public." Dila reminded Rere.


    "You can blame Hanin for disobeying me."


    "Don''t be selfish, Rere."


    "I''m not selfish. I''m just trying to be a mother. I don''t want to be labeled a cruel stepmother."


    "This is not the way to do that, Re. There''s no need to be emotionally facing a child of Hanin''s age. I will make her understand. You need to calm down."


    "Mom, I don''t want to go back to Aunt Rere''s home." Hanin put her hand on her hips while giving Rere a murderous look.


    *****


    "Re, can we talk?" Bara approached Rere who was sitting in the pool.


    "What?" Rere glared at his stepbrother. "Do you want to defend your wife?"


    "Why do you think so?" Bara was surprised to find her sister''s rude attitude.


    "What else do you want to talk about if it''s not about the park incident."


    "What happened?" Bara was confused. He didn''t understand what Rere said.


    "Don''t be foolish. Dila must have told you that we had a fight in the park earlier. I hate your wife! She humiliated me and the backbiting mothers also insulted me."


    "What do you mean?" Bara was furious and grabbed Rere''s arm. He was angry because Rere had started to be disrespectful to him.


    "Don''t pretend that you know nothing."


    "Dila didn''t tell me anything!" Bara snapped at Rere. His face was sour and his gaze was sharp."


    "I''m telling the truth." Bara glanced at Rere. He stared intently as if he wanted to destroy Rere.


    Dumbfounded and confused, Rere looked at Bara. The woman shuddered at Bara''s expression. Rere regretted accusing his brother since the man did not seem to know anything. Did Dila did not tell her husband what happened in the park this afternoon?


    Bara sighed as he walked toward Rere. He touched Rere''s shoulder and spoke softly, "What happened?"


    "Sis Dila didn''t tell you?" Rere still finds it hard to believe that Bara doesn''t know anything about the incident.


    "Seriously," Bara replied slowly. "Tell me!"

 Chapter 90 - Quarrel With Bara

    "Re, can we talk?" Bara approached Rere who was sitting in the pool.


    "What?" Rere glared at his stepbrother. "Do you want to defend your wife?"


    "Why do you think so?" Bara was surprised to find her sister''s rude attitude.


    "What else do you want to talk about if it''s not about the park incident."

    "Dila didn''t tell me anything!" Bara snapped at Rere. His face was sour and his gaze was sharp."


    "I''m telling the truth." Bara glanced at Rere. He stared intently as if he wanted to destroy Rere.


    Dumbfounded and confused, Rere looked at Bara. The woman shuddered at Bara''s expression. Rere regretted accusing his brother since the man did not seem to know anything. Did Dila did not tell her husband what happened in the park this afternoon?


    Bara sighed as he walked toward Rere. He touched Rere''s shoulder and spoke softly, "What happened?"


    "Sis Dila didn''t tell you?" Rere still finds it hard to believe that Bara doesn''t know anything about the incident.


    "Seriously," Bara replied slowly. "Tell me!"


    Rere was forced to speak because of her slip of the tongue. She cursed her own stupidity. She vented her anger as soon as Bara came. Rere told him the incident at the park to Bara without missing anything


    "Gosh." He rubbed his face roughly. "I''m not defending anyone. Both of you are my wife and my sister. Please¡­ you guys need to get along and stop fighting."


    "I don''t want to fight but Sis Dila blocked me from bringing Hanin back."


    "You haven''t changed, Re. I thought you would change when you got married. It turns out that you are still selfish, stubborn, and childish." Bara shaking his head.


    "You are selfish too." Rere did not accept Bara''s accusation. She didn''t know where the courage to confront Bara came from.


    "How come I am selfish? I married you to Dino for your own good. Leon must get a legal identity. I don''t want him to be mocked down when he grows up because his father''s name is not on his birth certificate."


    "You married me to Dino just for that?" Rere confronted Bara. She felt that Bara had gone too far to interfere in her personal matters. She feels trapped in her marriage with Dino.


    "Just for that?" Bara repeated Rere''s sentence. "What do you mean?"


    "You will understand what I mean." Rere grabbed Bara''s hand.


    "Explain to me!" Bara growled, glancing at Rere''s hand that was gripping it.


    Dila, who happened to take Hanin home after persuading the child, was stunned to see Rere and Bara were in the middle of an argument. The two of them glared at each other in silence.


    "Hanin, go to your room first," said Dila, stroking Hanin''s head.


    "Okay, mom." Hanin nodded then left Dila alone.


    Dila watched Bara and Rere''s argument from afar. Because of her unstable emotion, Rere spoke loudly.


    "You took advantage of me." Rere almost screams in tears. She knows Bara''s reason behind her marriage.


    "What did you say?" Bara is still confused.


    "Stop acting like you don''t know. I already know why you are so persistent in getting us married. You used Leon as a tool to get me to accept this marriage, right? Answer me!" Rere was frustrated as she pulled Bara''s collar.


    Bara did not answer and kept silent. He did not expect that Rere would find out about that so soon.


    "Why are you mum? Talk to me, Aldebaran. You know that I have great respect for you as a brother. In the end, I will still be a half-sister for you. You trapped me in this marriage. You sacrificed my feelings so Dino would not approach your wife. You are too na?ve. You sacrifice me and Leon for your crazy love."


    "ENOUGH! You know that I treat you like my own sibling and not a half-sister." Bara inflamed in a baritone voice.


    "I''m not done talking yet!" Rere sobbed. "You are afraid to lose Dila because Dino was attracted to her once. This kind of behavior only shows that you are doubting her love for you. You don''t even know Dino. If Dino forced his love on Dila, he would have charmed Dila to marry him. If Dila did not love you, she would never leave you just to protect you. She was trying to hold on when she was pregnant with triplets. After all of that, you still doubt her love? Are you doubting Dino? Even though I just became Dino''s wife, I know he will never force anyone. I''m disappointed in you, brother. You sacrificed me and Dino to satisfy that crazy love of yours."


    Dila was stunned to hear Rere''s words. She didn''t expect Rere to know the reason why Bara married her to Dino so soon.


    "I do not want to sound so liberal, but I must emphasize something. Dino and I could raise Leon without this marriage. To hell with what others said. I did not evens ask them for food to feed Leon. Do you know why I treat Dino badly? Because I want him to hate me and divorce me."


    Rere''s words are like lightning in the middle of the day in Dila and Bara''s ears. Dino, who was on a video call with Dila, also witnessed Rere and Dino''s quarrel. Dila deliberately aimed the camera at Rere so Dino could see them clearly.


    "I''m not selfish, impolite, and rude to other people. You know I''m just a weak girl. I am always unlucky when helping people."


    Bara started to feel guilty. His eyes were teary, because of his selfishness, Rere was unhappy.


    "Forgive me." Bara hugged Rere.


    "You''re so evil! You know what you did was bad, right? Why would you do that to me? I must be the bad guy to Dino because of your selfishness. I was so mean. I was even mean to Hanin. I promise to love Hanin like I love Leon, but Hanin makes me remember Dino. I also hate him for accusing me of setting him up in the past. I can''t forgive him. I can''t forgive him yet." Rere was angry and then hit Bara''s chest.


    Rere expressed the uneasiness in her heart. Once she releases all of her anger. She let go of Barbara''s arm.


    "I''m sorry," Bara said apologetically. He felt guilty for making Rere cry and disappointed in him.


    "There''s nothing to be sorry for, bro. I''m already Dino''s wife. Maybe this is just my bad luck."


    "Do you still love Angga?"


    Bara''s question left Rere speechless. She did not know why but this question seems difficult for her to answer.


    "Why can''t you answer?"


    "Why should I answer that?" Rere tried to avoid the topic.


    "If you''re being honest, maybe I would change my mind," Bara teased Rere.


    "If I say I love Angga, will you agree to my divorce? Is that how you think? Did you think marriage is a game? Everything is not that easy, Aldebaran." Rere stepped on Bara''s feet.


    Bara hissed in pain.


    "Are you in love with Dino?"


    "I''m not in love with him but being alone with him can make me feel like I will get caught by his charm. He''s a good and responsible man."


    "Are you afraid to fall in love with him?"


    "Yeah, I''m afraid to fall in love with him! He''s too kind. Are you satisfied?"


    Bara burst out laughing. "You can''t be angry with me for long. Actually, you''re angry not because I set you up for this marriage but because you don''t want to eat your own shit because you swore not to fall in love with Dino."


    "Damn you, Aldebaran. Don''t say that out loud!" Rere pinched Bara''s arm


    Dila breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that Bara and Rere had made up.


    "It''s done, No." Dila hangs up the video call.


    "Tell the kid to beware of me," Dino grumbled before the video call ended.


    Rere returned to the room. He was surprised to find Hanin was asleep beside Leon. The little boy was hugging his sister in his sleep. Rere was moved because the girl was returned at her own will. Rere approached them and adjusted the blanket to cover her two children''s bodies. She caressed her cheek as guilt welled up in her heart. She should have loved Hanin because she had promised Dila.


    "I''m sorry, Hanin. You''re right, I love Leon more and ignored you. Sorry for making you the victim of my frustration toward Dino. I don''t want him to like me. Sorry, I can''t be a good mother to you, I also can''t be a good wife to your father. Your father is actually a good person, but..."

 Chapter 91 - Hanin

    Rere returned to the room. He was surprised to find Hanin was asleep beside Leon. The little boy was hugging his sister in his sleep. Rere was moved because the girl was returned at her own will. Rere approached them and adjusted the blanket to cover her two children''s bodies. She caressed her cheek as guilt welled up in her heart. She should have loved Hanin because she had promised Dila.


    "I''m sorry, Hanin. You''re right, I love Leon more and ignored you. Sorry for making you the victim of my frustration toward Dino. I don''t want him to like me. Sorry, I can''t be a good mother to you, I also can''t be a good wife to your father. Your father is actually a good person, but..."


    "But what, Auntie?" Hanin''s unexpected voices startled Rere.


    "You have not slept yet?" Rere''s eyes widened. Being caught in this kind of situation embarrassed her.


    "Don''t need to pretend to be so fierce, aunty." Hanin pursed her lips.


    "Your expression is so annoying."


    "I just act like you, auntie. Pretending to be evil so dad stays away from you and hates you. Pretending to be cruel to make dad hate you?" Hanin got up from the bed, looking at Rere from head to toe with her arms crossed.


    "Why are you looking at mommy like that?"


    "Your acting is bad, Auntie."


    "Hanin, I''m not acting. The stepmother is evil. Every fairy tale narrates the cruelty of the stepmother. Like the story of Cinderella who was tortured by her mother and step sister. I''m a bad person, not a good person."


    "Okay then. I will make auntie a cruel stepmother ambassador."


    "Hanin."


    Hanin climbed onto the chair to be the same height as Rere. She landed her index finger on Rere''s lips.


    "Auntie, stop talking too much. Mom Dila already said that you are a good person, not a bad person. Mom says you once helped dad when people abused him. You also help auntie Gesa from the bad guys. Mom said you were a good person."


    Rere''s eyes glazed over. She didn''t expect that Dila would tell Hanin good things after what she did at the park. Rere regretted her rude remark and disrespectful action to Dila. No wonder Bara is crazy about Dila and almost crazy when the woman is gone. Bara married an angel so he didn''t want to let her go.


    "I______" Rere stuttered, unable to speak anymore. Suddenly her stomach hurt and she felt sick. "I''m going to the bathroom first. I have a stomach ache."


    Rere ran to the bathroom. She was in such a hurry that her clothes were wet. Since it was the case, she decided to take a shower because she hasn''t showered in the afternoon.


    Meanwhile, Hanin had a video call with Dino. His father called her when Rere had gone to the bathroom. He missed his children and decided to call Hanin


    "Hey, dad. How are you?" Hanin greeted her father, waving at his father.


    "Good, baby. What about you?"


    "I''m great, dad," said Hanin with a Malay accent. "Dad, are you still in the office? Isn''t it already so late? You need to go home and have some rest." Hanin acts like Ananya.


    "Are you my daughter or my wife?"


    "So annoying, of course, I''m your daughter. Aunt Rere is Baba''s wife."


    "Still mad at her?"


    Hanin shook her head, "She just behaves that way to make me hate him."


    "Has your hatred gone?"


    "No. Mom Dila has explained everything to me. Mom said Aunt Rere was a good person because she helped you from bad people."


    Dino''s body shuddered. Why did Dila tell Hanin that Rere had helped him and they spend the night together? The result of that night''s actions was Leon, the boy who grows into a handsome and adorable baby.


    "What did Mom Dila tell you?" Dino was curious.


    "Mom said I was too young to understand it."


    "Thank God." Dino rubbed his chest.


    "Why did you thank God?"


    "Because I feel grateful for God''s blessing today," said Dino. He had to answer Hanin''s question because the girl''s curiosity was increasing every day. If he did not answer, the child will disturb him until she gets an answer. Hanin is a sharp child but she will stop after getting an answer.


    "I miss you, dad. Please call me regularly."


    "Why don''t you come to KL with me?"


    "Are Aunt Rere and Leon coming with me?"


    "No."


    "Then, no, dad." Hanin balked. "You are strange, dad. Yesterday, you asked me to be close to Leon. Now, you change your mind. I don''t want to stay away from the triplets and Leon. I love them."


    "Sorry if I make you angry, dear."


    "Don''t worry about that."


    "Where''s mommy?"


    "Do you miss her?" Hanin teases his father. She smiled cutely, looking at Dino''s stupid face from the screen.


    "Hanin, what are you thinking, dear?"


    "I am thinking of you, dad. You are falling in love with Aunt Rere."


    "It is Mommy Rere, dear." Dino corrects Hanin.


    "She hasn''t passed the test to be my mother yet. I''ll keep calling aunt until she passes the test." Hanin coquettishly looked away.


    Dino was laughing at the child''s coquettish behavior. She was as flirty and cheerful as Ananya.


    "Where''s mommy?" asked Dino once more.


    "She has a stomach ache. She is throwing out the smelliest dump in the world," Hanin said in hyperbole. After that, she farted loudly.


    Dino covered his nose as if he could smell Hanin''s fart.


    "Your farts stink." Dino teases Hanin.


    "Can you smell it there?"


    "It is called an online smell," replied Dino with a laugh.


    "You are annoying." Hanin put the smartphone on the nightstand. The camera points to the wardrobe. Hanin brought her face closer to the camera. "Dad, don''t disconnect the call yet. I want to go to the toilet. I''ll be quick so you need to wait for me."


    "Okay." Dino nodded.


    Hanin ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door loudly since she needed to use the bathroom.


    "Aunt Rere, open the door. I want to use the bathroom, I can''t stand it anymore" Hanin shouted loudly.


    Rere had finished bathing as she wrapped around her body. The towel is very short. It is above the knee so it displays the beauty of her thighs. Rere opened the door.


    "Why are you banging so hard?"


    "I''m afraid Auntie will pretend to be deaf inside," Hanin replied casually. The girl went into the bathroom and locked the door from the inside.


    "What an impolite stepdaughter!," grumbled Rere back into the room.


    Dino can see Rere who was opening the cupboard from his screen. Dino whistled teasingly, seeing Rere only wrapped in a towel.


    "Hanin, you are very smart. You really know how to make me happy. The angles are also great." Dino chuckled. Not daring to speak out loud, afraid that Rere will realize his presence. If Rere finds out the erotic film is over.


    Dino''s gaze was fixed on the smartphone waiting for the next scene. People said that a male basic instinct was similar to a cat. Once the cat sees a salted fish, it will try to get it. The scene where the water from Rere''s hair flows down to her neck looks exciting and sexy in Dino''s eyes. The woman opened the closet and chose sexy pajamas.


    "Why does she never wear those sexy pajamas when she sleeps with me?" Dino grunted as he started to feel hot. He unbuttoned his shirt button because he felt too hot when he saw Rere''s sexiness.


    Rere took off her towel. Dino swallowed hard at the beautiful scene in front of him. His molars pressed against each other. Suddenly Dino''s pants were tight. His Adam''s apple trembled and he couldn''t avert his gaze from the two mounds in Rere''s chest. It was an unsettling sight.

    Dino looked left and right in a huff. He prays that his secretary will not come to his room. Before he was caught, Dino sent a message to Sheila to just go home and directly, no need to say goodbye since he has checked all the work. She just needs to come to the shooting location tomorrow to supervise the shooting process.

    "Aunt Rere, open the door. I want to use the bathroom, I can''t stand it anymore" Hanin shouted loudly.


    Rere had finished bathing as she wrapped around her body. The towel is very short. It is above the knee so it displays the beauty of her thighs. Rere opened the door.

Before he was caught, Dino sent a message to Sheila to just go home and directly, no need to say goodbye since he has checked all the work. She just needs to come to the shooting location tomorrow to supervise the shooting process.


    Dino swallowed his saliva when he saw his wife''s soft body. His eyes widened as he saw something shocking. His chaste eyes that had never seen this kind of scene for over four years were almost blind by seeing Rere''s naked body. He was like someone who saw the beauty of a woman''s body for the first time. The magnificence and grace of Rere''s body exuded a tense sensation in him. Dino was speechless. His male passion is aroused, and he doesn''t know how to stop. Rere''s body is very beautiful, sweet, and seductive. Her curvaceous body awakens something in Dino''s mind, shaking his lust completely. He saw the woman''s white smooth, long legs that adds another point to Rere''s attractiveness. Dino was crazy to see his wife''s naked body. She wanted to approach the woman and caress that smooth skin. Playing and touching Rere''s entire body without missing anything. He wanted to mark every inch of the beautiful body so that the woman will realize that it is created beautifully. Dino whistled singing the song God''s Sexiest Creature from Mulan Jameela.


    Your sexy brain is evident from the way you think of me.


    Your sexy eyes are evident from the way you look at me.


    I feel trapped inside your love prison.


    Your sexy lips are evident from the way you kiss my cheek.


    Your sexy lips are evident from the way you say my name.


    I feel trapped inside your love prison.


    You are the sexiest creature that God created.


    Only you can make me scream.


    Your sexy heart is evident from the way you hug my heart.


    Your sexy heart is proven by the way you are jealous of me.


    You are the sexiest creature of God, the sexiest one, so sexy¡­


    You are the creature of God, the sexiest and the greatest,


    and the sweetest creature in the world.


    You are the sexiest creature of God in the world, haa


    (Don''t wear the clothes) ....Dino''s dirty brain doesn''t want to see Rere get dressed immediately.


    Bare...


    Naked¡­.


    Expose¡­.


    Dino screamed in his heart. Moving restlessly when Rere started wearing her panties and bra. Dino scowled in annoyance that the precious part of her body had been hidden in the earth''s core. Dino closed his eyes imagining a making-out session with his wife. Dino attacked Rere''s lips with a hot seductive kiss. He sucked her lips deeply until he heard the sound of their kissing. He put his tongue in Rere''s mouth and sucked on her tongue. They suck each other and drain all the liquid in it. He pressed the nape of Rere''s neck to deepen the kiss. Even Rere did not want to lose as she crushed, tasted, and sucked Dino''s lips strongly. The two of them burned with passion. Dino''s hand didn''t want to stay still as he caressed Rere''s smooth thigh. The caress moves from the thighs to the buttocks and continues to the waist and back. Rere seemed resigned to Dino''s treatment. Her touch was intoxicating and soothing. She was thirsting for the man''s caress as she moved wildly and mischievously as the man''s hands traced every part of her body. She was floundering and stunned as the wild fingers entered her shirt. Twisted the important part of her chest, burning when those fingers boldly teased her body. Her passion and lust exploded. Rere could not contain her lust anymore. She is a normal woman who will flare up if the lust is provoked.


    Rere needs time and realizes that Dino demands more. Of course, not just a kiss, Dino wanted more than a kiss. Rere balances his game. Rere almost staggered if Dino didn''t grab her waist. His desire was too great for Rere to be overwhelmed. Dino realized that her passion was extraordinary, especially since they were newlyweds and were playing with love. They haven''t done their first night at all.


    Their kiss got hotter as their tongues entangled with each other. Dino demanded more as he wants to complete his burning desire. Dino let go of their lips since Rere was out of breath. Rere was coughing when she finally breathe the fresh air. Dino looked at Rere with a nasty grin. The two of them breathed in unison, sucking in a ravenous breath. Dino neutralized his chest which was tight from being out of breath.


    Dino laid Rere on the bed and then pressed the small body. Their faces were close, they could feel each other''s breath. They raced in passion until they didn''t realize their bodies were drenched in the fire of love. Dino grinned like a hungry lion. When a lion is hungry it will go crazy and would never let go of its prey. He took off all of Rere''s clothes so not a single thread covered the body of God''s sexiest creature.


    The Dino wild side was awoken and almost went crazy from seeing Rere''s beautiful carved body. It was the most magnificent masterpiece of God. Rere''s smile was reassuring as if signaling Dino to continue playing.


    "Touch me wherever you can. Touch and give me pleasure so that I know the greatness of a married couple relationship," said Rere sensually caressing Dino''s cheek.


    Dino fell onto the chair since he was moving too wildly. His face kissed the floor but he was grimacing in pain as he got up. His brows wrinkled when he saw his little brother raised like a flagpole.


    "Shit. It was just my imagination. I really think we are making love.


    Dino is still silent and reluctant to turn off the video call because he doesn''t want to miss a golden opportunity. Still sitting in his chair without showing any expression.


    Take it off¡­


    Take it off ...


    Take it off ¡­


    Dino still hoped that Rere would take off her panties and bra.


    "It''s unhealthy to sleep with a bra and panties on, Re. Just take it off, honey," Dino asked quietly. Hoping that the girl would prolong the dressing session.


    Dino wiped the sweat that dripped down his temples. He was getting hotter when he saw the mound of flesh on Rere''s chest was still clearly visible. It was a medium-size for her petite body. Dino feels like he is looking at Malang apples, small but ravishing.


    Dino''s eyes were still staring intently and without the slightest expression. Rere is wearing pyjamas. The erotic film that deeply unsettles Dino has ended. The only audience was disappointed.

 Chapter 93 - You Are Caught

    Hanin came out of the bathroom then ran to take her smartphone from the nightstand.


    "Dad, I''m back," said Hanin, waving at his father.


    "Hanin, wait." Rere interrupted.


    "What?"


    "Has your cell phone been on since earlier? Are you having a video call with dad? Did the camera point at the wardrobe?"


    "Yes," Hanin answered innocently. Dino, who was on the other side of the phone, hit his head since he was getting caught.


    "Dino!!!!!!" Rere growled annoyed with an unreadable expression. It means that Dino had seen her naked earlier.


    "Hanin, why are you so innocent, baby," Dino grumbled, speaking quietly.


    Rere smiled sweetly at Hanin." May I speak to dad?"


    "Of course." Hanin gave her cell phone to Rere.


    "You need to go to bed, girl." Rere stroked Hanin''s head.


    "I''m sleepy, auntie," Hanin replied while yawning.


    "Good night, dear." Rere helped Hanin lie on the bed and covered the girl''s body with the blanket.


    "Good night," Hani said, then closed her eyes. Rere turned off the light and went to the balcony.


    "Dino," shouted Rere in front of the camera.


    "What?" Dino said as nothing happened. "You know that you can talk to me casually without being angry?"


    "You pervert."


    "What do you mean?" Dino felt like he did nothing wrong. The man then approached the camera so his face was zoomed in.


    "Satisfied looking at my body?"


    Rere surprised Dino with her words. Actually, Dino thought that Rere didn''t dare to talk about it. It seems like he was wrong! Rere got angry and brought it up easily. Rere felt that she didn''t need to be friendly to Dino since he had been rude by looking at her body. She felt embarrassed and annoyed. She doesn''t want to be friendly to her unwanted husband. After all, their marriage was forced.


    "I am not satisfied at all, all I did was only look," Dino replied casually.


    "You!"


    "What?" A sinister grin appeared on the corner of Dino''s lips. The man already had a plan to tease Rere. How dare that woman hurt him and Hanin.


    Rere''s eyes bulged with anger. What a Pedophile!


    "Don''t be angry, kid! This is not the first time I''ve seen your naked body. Didn''t I looked at your naked body on our honeymoon?" Dino smiles cutely.


    "Dino!" Rere screamed wanting to punch Dino.


    "I like it when you call my name. That was sweet."


    "Never take advantage of me like that."


    "I didn''t take advantage of you, Rere. I just did not reject my luck."


    "You are immoral."


    "You are a horny girl."


    "What did you say? How am I a horny girl?" Rere was offended by Dino''s statement.


    "I know that you''ve had a wet dream about making love to me," replied Dino, not wanting to lose.


    Rere''s face turned red with embarrassment at Dino''s words. How did Dino know about her dream?


    "Don''t be stupid." Rere retorted because she was really embarrassed.


    "Who is stupid? Your face is red, implying that I''m speaking the truth."


    "No."


    "Don''t need to lie, dear. You''ve been caught. The angels will record your bad deeds if you lie."


    Damn it! Rere cursed because Dino left her speechless. Dino turned the situation around and made her look like the bad person here even though she was the real victim here.


    "You are the real sinner. How dare you peek at me." Rere lifted his smartphone up because she lost the signal and he couldn''t see Dino''s face.


    Dino could see Rere''s cleavage because of the phone angle. The camera captures the curvaceous cleavage clearly. The size fits perfectly with Rere''s body.


    Damn! So Sexy. Dino is getting hot. He could not help but admit his wife''s sexiness. As a normal man, Dino got turned on when he saw the sexy woman.


    "You are a pervert!" Rere realized that Dino''s eyes fixed on her chest.


    "What?" Dino


    kept being annoying.


    "What are you looking at?"


    "Why? I''m your husband, dear. Seeing you naked is normal, isn''t it? Did you still remember a wife''s obligation to her husband? You need to serve all your husband''s needs and this is also related to the physical needs of the husband. The wife shouldn''t have refused her husband''s request. Are you evading your duty as a wife?"


    "You are annoying."


    "Don''t be rude to me. I will punish you if you keep behaving that way."


    "Punish me?"


    "Certainly, it is a punishment that will make us both happy," Dino smirked slyly.


    "It was predictable that your kind punishment will not be far from the bed activity."


    "Well, you''re right, kid. If you are impudent then I will tie you to bed and fuck you. You know what it means, right?"


    "Nasty. You''re a pedophile."


    "I''m not a pedophile. You are a twenty-five years old woman. You are also a mother, dear, and I want one more child from you," Dino replied frontally.


    "You are maddening!" Rere wanted to cry hearing that.


    Prang...


    The sound of glass breaking was heard so clearly in Dino and Rere''s ears. Dino put his cell phone on the cell phone holder. The camera was still on when he approached the source of the sound.


    "What happened?" Rere looked at the screen.


    "Who are you?" Dino shouted when he saw two men in a hood ruffling his office. Both of them were startled and ran away.


    "Thief," Dino shouted to warn the security.


    "Bastard," said the man.


    Dino and the two men had a fistfight. Rere could see it because their video call was still on and the camera pointed at them.


    "Oh my God, Dino is in danger." Ree covered her mouth.


    Panic, Rere returned to the room, took her cell phone, and contacted Bara.


    "Bang, Dino is in danger," she said matter-of-factly.


    "What?" Bara got up from the bed with wide eyes.


    "How do you know?"


    "I was on a video call with him when two thieves seem to break into his office when Dino is still there." Rere was suddenly anxious as she bit her finger. "Hurry up and do something. Don''t let them hurt Dino."


    Bara just smiled at Dila and said nothing at his sister''s behavior. They both understood that Rere actually cared and worried about Dino but she didn''t dare to show it. She still prioritizes her pride over anything!


    The two men hit Dino''s head with a flower vase, made the man dizzy and lowered his head weakly. The two men immediately fled through the window as they jumped agilely even though Dino''s room was on the top floor.


    "Sir," the two security guards who had just come in shouted when they saw their boss covered in blood.


    "Give me my cell phone," Dino pointed at the table.


    One of the securities took Dino''s cell phone and the other checked the crime location.


    "Dino," Rere shouted, covering her mouth when she saw Dino covered in blood in front of the camera.


    "I''m fine," Dino said before fainting.


    "Please save my husband." Rere''s eyes are teary.


    "Okay, ma''am."


    Rere wore her sweater, ran to Ainil and Herman''s room, and knocked on the door loudly.


    "What''s wrong?" Ainil was surprised to see Rere panicked.


    "It is Dino, mother."


    "What happened to Dino?"


    "Two robbers break into his office and hurt him," said Rere while crying. She was afraid that something bad would happen to Dino. She did not want to see her two children sad because their father was hurt.


    "Oh, God." Ainil''s mouth gaped. "Are you serious?"


    "I''m serious, mom." Rere was shaking in panic.


    "You have to go to KL to take care of your husband. You have to attend Dino." Bara suddenly appeared with Dila. The couple was still in their pajamas.


    *****


    The security rushed Dino to the hospital. The man was still unconscious. His body was limp. One of the security guards informed Lala that the man was injured because he was attacked by robbers. The Royal Malaysian Police immediately intervened to investigate the robbery and violence. The nurses are cleaning Dino''s wounds and the doctor performed a minor operation to stitch up Dino''s gaping wound. There is a deep wound under the ear where the shards of glass got into his scalp so the doctor needs more time operating on Dino.


    Lala breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the operating light was turned off, the sign that shows Dino''s operation is finished. Lala ran to the doctor who came out of the operating room.


    "How is my son''s condition?" Lala asked the doctor.


    "He is fine. Although we need to observe him first before he can go home."


    "Thank you, doctor."


    Lala entered Dino''s treatment room. The doctor has not allowed Dino to go home because he is still under observation.


    Lala touched her son''s hand. "Dino," she called him softly.


    "Mom," Dino said still with closed eyes because he was still dizzy from the anesthetic.


    "Yes. I''m here. How do you feel?"


    "I''m fine, Mom. Earlier I was on a video call with Rere. I don''t want to make her worry."

    The security rushed Dino to the hospital. The man was still unconscious. His body was limp. One of the security guards informed Lala that the man was injured because he was attacked by robbers.

    Lala entered Dino''s treatment room. The doctor has not allowed Dino to go home because he is still under observation.


    Lala touched her son''s hand. "Dino," she called him softly.


    "Mom," Dino said still with closed eyes because he was still dizzy from the anesthetic.


    "Yes. I''m here. How do you feel?"


    "I''m fine, Mom. Earlier I was on a video call with Rere. I don''t want to make her worry."


    "Are you sure she''s worried about you?"


    "She is affectionate and kind, mom, it''s just..."


    "Just what? Have you caught the love slave virus?" Lala teased her son.


    "You speak like the younger generation, you even know the term love slave, mom."


    "You think I''m too old to understand those?"


    "I forgot that you are indeed so cool, mom." Dino didn''t want to argue because his head was still hurt and dizzy.


    Lala''s cell phone rang loudly. The woman took her cell phone from her bag.


    Dila Calling...¡­


    "Yes, Dila?"


    "Aunty, how is Dino?" Dila called while glancing at Rere who was pacing back and forth. The woman was worried about her husband''s condition.


    "He is fine. he just got some stitches."


    "How about the robbers?"


    "The Royal Malaysian Police are investigating it."


    "Aunty," Dila said in a whisper. Afraid Rere would hear her.


    "Why are you whispering?"


    "I don''t want my sister-in-law to hear me."


    "I understand." Lala nodded. "What is wrong?"


    "How is Dino''s condition? Rere was grumpy and worried. She''s been pacing back and forth since earlier."


    Lala smiled at Dino. The man asked with a sign.


    "Just tell Rere to leave for KL on the first flight."


    "Noted, aunty. The secretary has taken care of everything."


    "Is Dino okay, aunty?" Dila glanced back at Rere. The girl was sitting on the sofa.


    "He is okay. There are only a few stitches on his head," Lala answered quietly.


    "Okay then, aunty. I just wanted to know about that. Thank goodness Dino is fine."


    "Rere doesn''t want to talk to her husband?"


    "Her pride won''t let her do that, aunty. We teased her and said that she was worried about her husband, but she strongly denied it. Saying she wasn''t worried, although her action shows otherwise."


    "She did not realize her own feeling at Dino. When I was young, I also acted the same way with Dino''s father. It''s just a matter of time until they start to love each other and make Leon''s little sibling." Lala teased while glancing at Dino.


    "Okay, Aunty. I''ll hang up first."


    "Who was calling, mom? Is it Dila?"


    "You know the answer, why keep asking?"


    "Is it wrong to ask?"


    "No, son."


    "Why did you talk about me and Rere?"


    "Don''t pretend to be deaf."


    "The little girl who is your wife is worried about you. She paced around worriedly but ashamed to admit it. Dila said she will come to KL with the first flight tomorrow to take care of you."


    "Seriously?" Dino laughed. He cannot believe that Rere is worried about his condition. "Isn''t she going to be free from me if I die? Didn''t she want to be a widow?"


    "Don''t overdo it, No."


    "I''m not just not sure that she''s worried. Earlier, before the thief came in, we were on a video call and she''s angry."


    "Why did she get angry?"


    "I peeked at her when she was dressing up." Dino couldn''t help but imagine Rere''s beautiful body that teases and pampers him. Her plump breast, long legs, and voluptuous ass fill Dino''s brain. He was in a daze remembering that perfect sculpture.


    "How can you peek at her?"


    "It is a long story."


    "Then what are you waiting for!"


    Lala couldn''t help but laugh out loud until her stomach was in pain when Dino told the incident that made them fight.


    "No wonder she is angry."


    "Is it a sin to see your own wife?"


    "It was understandable since she was still not aware of her status. If Rere really comes here, it means that I have to go to Jakarta."


    "Why?"


    "I will let you guys spend time together. You can take the opportunity and seduce Rere therefore you will be closer to her. You definitely haven''t slept with Rere yet." Lala made that silly statement.


    "Why are you saying that, mom?" Dino turned his face to the window. He saw someone passing by, hope it''s Rere. Dino cursed his stupidity. How could Rere be here, she was still in Jakarta.


    "Are you waiting for your dear wife''s arrival?" Lala teased again.


    "Yeah, I''m waiting for Rere. Are you satisfied, mom?" Dino smiles cutely.


    "May Rere be your last spouse," Lala spoke in a serious tone. Holding Dino''s hand and patting it. "I hope you, Rere, and the children can live happily. You would love and care for each other so there is no need for me to see the sadness in your eyes. I can see that since you are marrying Rere, you became more cheerful and lively."


    "Really?" Dino looks embarrassed. The man''s face turned red like a boiled crab. "Is it obvious, Mom?"


    "It is," Lala said with her hand on her hips.


    "I am so embarrassed, I must look like a teenager who just fell in love."


    "Just pretend that you''re 17 years old." Lala teased again.


    "You are not fun at all." Dino scowled.


    The door to the room was knocked from outside before the doctor and nurse came inside.


    "Mr. Dino Putra Chaniago," called the nurse.


    "Yes."


    "The doctor will read the CT scan results."


    "The result of your CT scan shows no sign of blood clots and concussion in the brain, therefore since your CT scan results are great, you can go home. You will feel a little dizzy and get a headache but it''s normal."


    "Thank you, doctor," Lala said quietly.


    "You''re welcome."


    The doctor and nurse left after that. Dino and Lala breathed a sigh of relief since there was nothing to worry about.


    "Thank God. I''m afraid something will happen to you."


    "Yes, Mom. It would be too regrettable if Rere became a widow when I haven''t done anything to her."


    "Your brain." Lala wanted to smack Dino''s head but she stopped it when she realized that Dino''s head was injured.


    "What''s wrong with my brain, Mom?" Dino teases his mother.


    "Your brain isn''t right. Rere should come here soon to fix that."


    "You must go to Jakarta immediately so you will not disturb us," said Dino with a grin.


    "Without your reminder, I will be going to Jakarta. How long will you keep Rere at home?"


    "I am not sure. If she''s bothersome, I will tell her to go back."


    "What a naughty boy. I will take care of the administration for your return first."


    "Okay, Mom." Dino gave a thumbs up.


    ******


    Rere ran as fast as she could to the parking lot. She couldn''t wait to meet Dino. From afar, she saw Uncle Mutu''s red car approaching her.


    "Uncle Mutu," Rere shouted, calling Uncle Mutu. The Indian man was her personal driver when he was studying in KL.


    "Rere," Uncle Mutu replied cheerfully. The man immediately got out of the car. Approaching his former employer. Since he stopped being Rere''s personal driver, the man has worked in one of Rere''s late father''s companies in KL.


    Panting heavily, Rere stood before Uncle Mutu, "Uncle let''s go quickly. I have to meet with Dino soon," Rere said as she tried to catch her breath but a glimmer of a smile appeared on her face.


    Uncle Mutu looked at Rere with an expression of disbelief. From Bara''s story, he heard that Rere did not love her husband. Why is it different from the story? Has she fallen in love with her husband?


    "Come in, Re." Uncle Mutu took Rere''s suitcase and put it in the trunk.


    Uncle Mutu swerved through the streets of KL. The man knew Dino''s address as they headed to block R, the residence for rich people in KL city. This is not the first time Rere has been to Dino''s house. The woman had been there when she pretended to be Bara''s wife.

 Chapter 95 - Dinos Trick

    Rere ran as fast as she could to the parking lot. She couldn''t wait to meet Dino. From afar, she saw Uncle Mutu''s red car approaching her.


    "Uncle Mutu," Rere shouted, calling Uncle Mutu. The Indian man was her personal driver when he was studying in KL.


    "Rere," Uncle Mutu replied cheerfully. The man immediately got out of the car. Approaching his former employer. Since he stopped being Rere''s personal driver, the man has worked in one of Rere''s late father''s companies in KL.


    Panting heavily, Rere stood before Uncle Mutu, "Uncle let''s go quickly. I have to meet with Dino soon," Rere said as she tried to catch her breath but a glimmer of a smile appeared on her face.


    Uncle Mutu looked at Rere with an expression of disbelief. From Bara''s story, he heard that Rere did not love her husband. Why is it different from the story? Has she fallen in love with her husband?


    "Come in, Re." Uncle Mutu took Rere''s suitcase and put it in the trunk.


    Uncle Mutu swerved through the streets of KL. The man knew Dino''s address as they headed to block R, the residence for rich people in KL city. This is not the first time Rere has been to Dino''s house. The woman had been there when she pretended to be Bara''s wife.


    Rere immediately walked into the house when they arrived. Uncle Mutu just silently watched her. The man took the suitcase from the trunk and carried it inside.


    Rere looked strangely around the house. It was so quiet like there is no one there. The woman was surprised when she saw Lala walking down carrying a suitcase.


    "Aunty uh sorry, mom." Rere corrected the way she addressed the woman.


    "Rere, you have arrived." Lala smiled happily at her daughter-in-law''s arrival.


    "Mom where are you going?" Rere glanced at Lala''s suitcase.


    "I need to replace Dino for a meeting with a client. We have made this appointment with this important client. Since Dino was sick, I will do the task and represent him."


    "I see." Rere nodded.


    "Where should I put your suitcase, Re?" Uncle Mutu asked, looking at Rere. "Good morning, madam," Uncle Mutu greeted Lala politely.


    "Good morning," replied Lala friendly.


    "Where are you going madam?"


    "To the airport."


    "Let me take you there."


    "There is no need. I have a driver."


    "It''s okay, madam. Let me do that," said Uncle Mutu. The man deliberately wanted to give time to Rere and Dino. Bara has already told him what he needs to do.


    "Okay if you insist." Lala couldn''t refuse. They had planned it all beforehand and all of it was just acting.


    "Where is Dino, Mom?"


    "He''s in the room upstairs." Lala pointed to the second floor.


    "Okay, Mom."


    Lala carried her suitcase before she turned around, "Dino hasn''t had his breakfast and taken a bath yet, Re. He''s still sleeping."


    "Okay, Mom. I''ll prepare breakfast for him."


    "Take care of him for me." Lala touched Rere''s shoulder.


    "Definitely, Mom. I''ll take care of him."


    Lala and Uncle Mutu left Rere alone. Lala has told the servant in the house to take a leave for a week so Rere can take care of Dino properly.


    Rere went to Dino''s room with porridge and hot tea. She didn''t knock on the door since she saw the sign "Dad''s Room" in front of the door. Rere put the porridge and tea on the nightstand as she saw Dino curled up under the blanket.


    "No, wake up," Rere said slowly.


    The woman pulled Dino''s blanket. Her eyes widened when she saw Dino just sleeping in "Cevin Kelin" underwear. The man''s body was exposed. The curves and sculptures are indeed beautiful. Dino seems more handsome than usual like a Greek God seducing her faith. Dino''s body teased Rere''s hand to caress and stroke it.


    Her corrupt eyes involuntarily saw the mound in Dino''s pans. Rere stared at the beautiful sight before her eyes. The man was still asleep when Rere''s eyes traveled to Dino''s body. She felt like a criminal as the urge to hug and fondle Dino increased. Rere burst out laughing realizing her perverseness.


    "Waaa..." Dino screamed loudly because Rere was in front of him. The man looked at his body only wrapped in underwear before he crossed his arms over his chest like a girl guarding her chastity against a bad guy. Dino took his shorts and put them on.


    Rere only woke up from the charm of Dino''s panties after the man put on his boxers.


    "Are you satisfied looking at my body?" Dino put his hands on his hips in front of Rere. The girl could see the bandages covering Dino''s head.


    "Satisfied? What do you mean?" Rere dodged.


    "Pretending to be dumb, huh?" Dino wanted to poke Rere''s head, but she managed to dodge it.


    "Yes, I know. I know how big it is when it''s erect," Rere replied jokingly.


    "You and your perverted brain." Dino pretended to be angry when in fact he was happy. Dino knew that Rere would enter the room, so the man took off his pants and only wore his short pants. He wanted to teach Rere a lesson, but unfortunately, it didn''t work. Rere wasn''t as frightened as he imagined.


    "Who said I was a pervert? It''s your own fault because you sleep without clothes, my eyes are stained because of that sight."


    "Stained? Aren''t you happy to know what size it is?" Dino cornered Rere against the wall.


    "What? Stop talking rubbish."


    "Aren''t you the one who said that you know the size?"


    "Annoying," Rere grunted. She banged her head on Dino''s head because the man acted like he was about to kiss her.


    "Aww," Dino screamed loudly. The man moved away from Rere and sat on the bed. Suddenly his head got dizzy.


    "What a barbaric woman," Dino grumbled.


    "Then don''t act silly and steal a kiss from me."


    "What is wrong with that?"


    "It is wrong because I don''t want it."


    "You only pretend to be shy, but wouldn''t refuse if I kiss you."


    Rere handed a glass of tea and a bowl of porridge to Dino.


    "What is this?"


    "Stop asking. It''s porridge and tea. Mom said you haven''t had breakfast, that''s why I brought breakfast.


    "Oh," Dino answered slowly.


    "Eat."


    "Feed me," replied Dino sulkily.


    "You can eat by yourself. Don''t be spoiled."


    "My head hurts."


    "Your hands are okay."


    "I''m so dizzy I can''t hold the spoon."


    "Stop making excuses, just say that you want me to feed you." Rere took a bowl of porridge and fed Dino. "Open your mouth."


    Like a child, Dino opened his mouth. Rere stuffed the porridge in the man''s mouth. Dino even ate voraciously. Actually, the man did not like porridge but because his beloved wife fed him, he would eat everything.


    "I am full," said Dino when Rere tried to feed him another spoon.


    "Are you sure?" Rere handed Dino the medicine she found on the nightstand.


    "Hmm." Dino opened his mouth for Rere to feed him the medicine. Luckily there is not much medicine since he dislikes the flavor of medicine. Although the medicine is bitter, when he sees Rere, the medicine tastes sweet in his mouth.


    "You need to take a bath, No."


    "Help me, Re," said Dino in a spoiled manner.


    "You can take a bath yourself," Rere replied with a glare.


    Rere carried the dirty plates and glasses into the kitchen and washed them. She almost broke the glass since her mind keeps remembering the scene where Dino was only in his underwear. The effect is truly amazing. Her brain suddenly short-circuited. Her mind always wandered back to Dino''s amazing figure whatever she did. The big bulging behind his underwear made her brain wander. For some reason, seeing the underwear being dried under the sun made her remember the color and brand of Dino''s underwear. The underwear seems to dance in Rere''s mind. The woman was on the verge of sanity. Because of the underwear, her brain can not work properly and is always at a constant distraction.


    What kind of woman wouldn''t feel awkward when she saw a man only wearing underwear and saw a bulge in it. The bulging is definitely not a boil and the likes. Suddenly goosebumps appear in several places in her body. The view was amazing. Since the place has a tight protocol of covid 19, she can''t travel to enjoy the natural scenery, instead, she can enjoy the view of a man''s healthy body which is typical of male stamina-enhancing milk ads.


    Ouch¡­.. Rere smacked her forehead. Her mind became very dirty. How could she imagine a pornographic scene like that? Rere is used to seeing guys only wearing underwear on social media but seeing it in person and the guy is good-looking, the sensation is certainly different. BAD and STRONG, entice her to touch it. HEY!!!


    "What are you thinking?" Dino suddenly appeared in front of Rere. Just wearing a boxer without a top.


    "Why don''t you wear proper clothes?" Rere was shocked. The plate almost fell on the floor if Dino didn''t catch it quickly.


    "Focus, Rere," Dino grumbled, putting the plate on the shelf.


    "So," Rere answered ambiguously. She felt cornered because Dino''s gaze observes her closely.


    "So!" Dino startled Rere with his voice. Knowing that his wife has a mild case of echolalia, an idea popped up in his head to make fun of Rere.

 Chapter 96 - The Underwear Effect

    Ouch¡­.. Rere smacked her forehead. Her mind became very dirty. How could she imagine a pornographic scene like that? Rere is used to seeing guys only wearing underwear on social media but seeing it in person and the guy is good-looking, the sensation is certainly different. BAD and STRONG, entice her to touch it.

    "What are you thinking?" Dino suddenly appeared in front of Rere. Just wearing a boxer without a top.


    "Why don''t you wear proper clothes?" Rere was shocked. The plate almost fell on the floor if Dino didn''t catch it quickly.


    "Focus, Rere," Dino grumbled, putting the plate on the shelf.


    "So," Rere answered ambiguously. She felt cornered because Dino''s gaze observes her closely.


    "So!" Dino startled Rere with his voice. Knowing that his wife has a mild case of echolalia, an idea popped up in his head to make fun of Rere.


    "Your members are so BIG and LONG," replied Rere quickly but slapped her lips for saying that after that. She was embarrassed.


    Dino coughed and then laughed at Rere''s spontaneous answer. The man seems happy as he gets more excited to tease Rere.


    "What do you mean?" Dino again startled Rere.


    "I mean it is like a parrot, it can stand up like a flagpole in the morning."


    Dino laughed even more when he heard his wife''s vulgar words. Oh my goodness Rere, it turns out she has the talent to be a comedian.


    Rere realized that Dino was teasing her. On a whim, Rere opened the faucet and then splashed the water on her husband''s face.


    Dino didn''t want to lose either. The man was accidentally poured water on Rere''s chest, hoping to see something spectacular there.


    Dino was being annoying. Rere''s clothes were wet and can be see-through. Dino could clearly see what kind of bra Rere was wearing behind the pink shirt. His Adam''s apple moved as he looked at the view of the two mountains he had touched a few years ago.


    Rere crossed her arms over her chest afraid that Dino would take a chance to see her curvaceous body. Dino is getting nosy. He took a water dipper, filled it with water, and poured all the water on Rere until the woman was soaking wet."


    "Dino," Rere whispered in annoyance. She wanted to run to the room to change clothes but the man stopped him.


    "I need to go to the bathroom."


    "Let''s take a shower together?" Dino replied with flirtatious eyes.


    "You wish!"


    "I wish for some love, I need your care."


    "Annoying." Rere kicked Dino''s shin. The man hissed in pain. When Dino was off guard, Rere ran towards the room and changed her clothes.


    "You need to be careful, Re." Dino grimaced and stroked where it hurt.


    After the pain was gone, Dino followed Rere into the room. Maybe the girl is changing her clothes. It''s good to watch a good live-action show. Dino''s perverted brain is working. Luckily Rere didn''t lock the bedroom door so Dino could enter the room easily. Dino choked when he saw the woman in the towel unpacking her suitcase.


    HER BODY IS ONLY WRAPPED IN A SINGLE TOWEL. Dino automatically sings Ari Lasso''s song, with the title the woman secret.


    There is a part in a woman


    that is very sensitive when touched by a man.


    Where is that part?


    Would you like to know?


    Because that part is only for men Who are old enough


    Because that part can really make a woman intoxicated


    Captivated with romance


    Where is that part?


    Would you like to know?


    Touch her right in her heart


    She''ll be yours forever


    Touch her with all your love


    Make her heart flutter


    "Dino," shouted Rere hysterically when she realized Dino''s presence.


    The man just chuckled innocently.


    "Get out." Rere pointed at the door while holding her towel tightly.


    "This is my room, why should I get out?" Dino asked while approaching Rere.


    "Stop." Rere waved her hand in the air showing her smooth armpits. It was smooth, white, and without any hair.


    The word hair made Dino''s brain wander somewhere. How is the hair texture in Rere''s secret place?


    He needs to keep his sanity! Dino grumbled to himself.


    "Get out." Rere pushed Dino towards the door.


    Dino didn''t want to lose. He turned around and took Rere''s hand.


    "Let go of my hand."


    "I don''t want to," replied Dino, raising both of Rere''s hands above her head.


    "Dino." Rere kicked Dino but the man managed to dodge her kick. As a result, her towel slips down.


    Dino''s eyes bulged while gaping at Rere''s cleavage. The towel fell off and only covered half of Rere''s breasts.


    Dino''s eyes were unblinking looking at the two white and ripe twin mountains. Those were very special mountains because it is the healthiest and best dairy factory in the world. Undoubtedly, anyone who drinks milk there will be a smart person.


    Oops! Now he is really thirsty for milk!


    "Dino. Your eyes," Rere shouted again. She struggled to be free from Dino. Because of her movement, the towel suddenly fell on the floor. Her innocent body was exposed in front of Dino''s eyes.


    The man was hypnotized. After seeing the twin mountains, he also saw a barren forest down there. He really wants to fertilize that baren forest. His eyes didn''t blink even though Rere was struggling. Finally, Rere realized that her towel had fallen off and Dino was eyeing the beauty of her body.


    Rere pinched Dino''s navel until the man screamed in pain and fell on the floor. Rere took the opportunity to wrap the towel around her body.


    "You are so cruel." Dino held his head. When he fell, his head hit the floor


    and the pain torments him again.


    "Stop pretending."


    "I''m not faking it. My head is dizzy," Dino replied with a grimace on his face.


    "Are you really sick?"


    "I would not lie for this problem." Dino was annoyed. He got up, walked to the bed, and lied down.


    "Are you okay?" Rere suddenly got worried as she climbed onto the bed.


    "Put on the clothes or I''ll do something you hate," Dino replied curtly. Still looking for the opportunity to see Rere''s two mountains but unfortunately, he was not that lucky. The mountain was covered in towels now.


    Dino closed his eyes. Choose sleep to relieve the pain in his head. He remembers that tomorrow he will have to do a check-up to see the stitches on his head.


    Dino rubbed his eyes. He looked at the clock on the wall. The clock shows at half-past twelve in the afternoon. He slept for so long. Dino got up from the bed, opened the cupboard, and chose his clothes. Dino wore knee-length Chinos and a black "Supremi" t-shirt.


    Dino went downstairs because his nose caught something tasty. The food must be delicious. That afternoon, Dino saw his wife busy cooking in the kitchen. Rere cooked his favorite dish, which is tom yam seafood and fried noodles. Dino looked at Rere, the more he looked at Rere the more beautiful she became. Rere''s rating has gone up to five stars for preparing him food.


    "What for lunch?"


    "Are you awake?" Rere smiled brightly.


    "I am, you can see me standing in front of you."


    "I prepare tom yam seafood and your favorite fried noodles. Mom told me that you like these two foods."


    "Seems delicious, I will dig it up"


    "Wait a little, it will be ready after some more minutes."


    "Okay... How could you seem more beautiful when you cook, Re? Your beauty radiates more right now." Dino teases his wife.


    "Stop overreacting," Rere said, pouting her lips.


    Dino wanted to kiss those adorable red lips. He did not have the chance to do it since Rere showed him a pan, ready to hit him if he dared to kiss her. Dino''s guts shrunk but kept his wry smile, celebrating his defeat.


    "Don''t be a flirtatious husband. Haven''t felt my punch, yet?" Rere growled through gritted teeth.


    "Relax, honey. Don''t be angry," Dino replied jokingly and pinched Rere''s cheek in excitement.


    The woman didn''t react. She just smiled at her husband''s silliness.


    "What is wrong with you? Why are you smiling? Are you happy today? Happy to meet the most handsome man in the world?"


    "Don''t be too confident, Dino. You said I shouldn''t be angry and when I smile, you make a fuss. You have a lot of requests like the netizen."


    "That is why they are called netizens. Their job is to criticize everything," replied Dino, taking a seat at the dining table. The man bit the apple like the logo of a smartphone. "Perfect."


    "What''s it?"


    "You are so perfect. You''re so beautiful in my eyes. You make me adore you. Every step I take, I am always thinking about you. I can''t imagine my life without your love. Don''t leave me. I will not be able to deal with that. I can only move forward with you by my side. You are my blood, you are my heart, you are the life that completes me. Oh my dear, you are so perfect." Dino started to sing.


    "Your voice is good," said Rere, pouring the tom yam into the bowl before bringing the tom yam and fried noodles to the dining table. Dino can''t wait to eat his wife''s cooking.


    "Looks delicious." Dino was impatient.

 Chapter 97 - Investigation Results

    "You are so perfect. You''re so beautiful in my eyes. You make me adore you. Every step I take, I am always thinking about you. I can''t imagine my life without your love. Don''t leave me. I will not be able to deal with that. I can only move forward with you by my side. You are my blood, you are my heart, you are the life that completes me. Oh my dear, you are so perfect." Dino started to sing.


    "Your voice is good," said Rere, pouring the tom yam into the bowl before bringing the tom yam and fried noodles to the dining table. Dino can''t wait to eat his wife''s cooking.


    "Looks delicious." Dino was impatient.


    "Of course it is delicious. I made this." Rere handed Dino a plate with rice. This is not Rere''s first time cooking for her husband.


    "Thank you," replied Dino, smiling happily.


    Dino enjoyed the dishes. Although the girl is rich, she can cook tasty food. The taste is almost the same as restaurant cuisine.


    "How is it?" Rere can''t wait for Dino''s reaction.


    "Delicious." Dino gave a thumbs up.


    "Thank God." Rere was relieved because the food was delicious and did not turn out to be a failure.


    "Re," Dino called softly.


    "Hmm?" Rere pauses and propped her chin, looking at Dino with an incomprehensible look.


    "Let''s play riddles to lift up the atmosphere."


    "Okay. What''s the punishment for the loser?


    "Whatever you want."


    "Wait a minute," Rere went upstairs and came back with lipstick and some rubber bands.


    Rere put them on the table.


    "The winner can tie the loser''s hair and draw on the loser''s face. But only a stroke, nothing more."


    "Agree." Dino reached out his hand as Rere shook the man''s hand.


    "Deal," they both said.


    After lunch, Dino and Rere sat in the living room. They needed to play rock, paper, scissors first to determine the first person to ask the question.


    "Yes¡­. I''ll go first." Rere raised her hands up as euphoria of victory. "Are you ready?"


    "Ready!" Dino patted his chest.


    "Which drink breaks the ice?"


    "That''s so easy." Dino sneered at Rere.


    "Come on, just answer it if you know." Rere put her hand on her hips.


    "Flirt-tea."


    "Okay, I lost." Rere pouted.


    "Flirting with you makes me happy especially when I look at those two smooth and twin hills."


    "Nasty." Rere pinched Dino''s sturdy arm.


    "You lose." Dino took the lipstick and crossed Rere''s right cheek and tied a small bundle of Rere''s hair. Dino tied Rere''s bangs to the right. "Now I''ll be the one to ask," Dino smirked slyly.


    "What is the question?" Rere crossed her arms. Can''t wait for Dino''s question.


    "You are similar to a flag, do you know why?"


    Rere tried to think for a moment, but could not find an answer. Dino had to cross his face. The man put red lipstick on Rere''s lips. Of course to make her look ugly.


    "What''s the answer?" Ree was curious.


    "You are similar to a flag because your shadow always flutters in my heart," said Dino in a flirty tone. He wanted to tease Rere. He wanted to know whether he could move the girl''s heart or not.


    "Obviously a professional seduction." Rere snorted. "Now it''s my turn to ask questions."


    "Go on."


    "What''s the difference between your heart and a modem?" Rere cheered cheerfully sure that Dino would not be able to answer.


    "What is it?" Dino was thinking for almost a minute but could not find the answer.


    "Time''s up." Rere cheered cheerfully. The girl took the red lipstick and made a circle on Dino''s cheek. She also tied Dino''s hair.


    "What''s the answer?"


    "The difference between you and a modem is the modem is connected to the internet while your heart is connected to my heart," Rere replied cheerfully, unaware that she just flirting with Dino.


    "It is great that I don''t need to be a modem to connect your heart and mine," said Dino, starting to flirt.


    "What a Casanova!"


    "Don''t call me that, darling."


    "Do not call me darling."


    "Honey, dear, Babe," said Dino, imitating a moaning voice. Dino enjoyed teasing her.


    "Let''s continue the game?"


    "What car can make us fall in love?"


    "Oh my, it''s so easy. It''s a viral riddle on the internet."


    "Guess it then!" Dino stuck out his tongue.


    "Ayla, I mean Aylaf you."


    "I love you too," replied Dino laughing out loud.


    "What a tricky question." Rere realized what Dino meant. "You tease me just because I have echolalia."


    "I am not."


    "Then what? I''m not a kid you can fool."


    "Then we will live with Hanin, Leon, and Leon''s future sibling," Dino teased Rere. The man wanted to see his wife''s reaction.


    "You always talk like that." Rere hates it when Dino talks about Leon''s future sister.


    "We are husband and wife. Isn''t children a normal topic for us?"


    "Stop it, you know the reason we got married."


    "I never made a rash decision to marry you," Dino spoke in a serious tone. Girls like Rere need a direct explanation.


    "What do you mean? Didn''t you marry me just to fulfill your responsibility to Leon?"


    "At first, yes, but after meeting you. I want to live with you until the end. I want to be with you until death do us part."


    "What a smart move. I forget that you have experienced, Ex-widower," Rere replied harshly.


    "I''m not seducing you."


    "I do not believe you." Rere stuck out her tongue.


    "Rere, be polite to your husband," Dino warned.


    "I am just kidding."


    "That''s not funny."


    "But I mean what I said before."


    Rere remained silent and did not respond to Dino''s words. She does not know what to say.


    "I''m serious about what I said, Re." Dino approached her and held Rere''s hand.


    Like being hit by a high-power electric shock. Rere was shocked and trembling. Suddenly she was quiet as if hypnotized by Dino''s charm. For some reason, when she saw the man''s eyes, she remembered his underwear and the bulging down there. Your brain, Re!


    "Please let me go." Rere hastily kept her mind in check.


    "You are actually worried about me. The proof is that you panicked when the thieves broke into my office."


    "No," she argued, turning her head, avoiding Dino''s stare. Rere couldn''t bear to look at Dino''s face. Suddenly her body was shaking and nervous. The underwear incident makes her crazy.


    "Don''t avoid me." Dino held Rere''s cheek then looked into Rere''s eyes.


    Rere trembled and was nervous as she looked into Dino''s eyes. Round eyes, symmetrical eyebrows, and Dino''s lips teased her to kiss him.


    Dino looked deeply at his wife. He realized that his love grows bigger every day. Since Dino knew the reason Rere behaved badly with him, he started to look at the girl differently. The girl was fragile and her rudeness is to cover up her weaknesses.


    Dino swallowed his saliva. Staring at the little, cute, and pink lips. His fingers touched Rere''s cheek and then rubbed her lips. Dino''s attention was focused on Rere''s lips. For some reason the attraction of those lips made him go crazy. Rere did not move at all.


    Dino kissed her lips. Rere gasped with wide eyes. Surprised, but not as surprised as the first time. This wasn''t their first kiss. Rere started receiving Dino''s kisses. She even opened her mouth to match Dino''s move. Dino teased Rere to open his mouth a little more. Dino took the opportunity to bite his wife''s lips deeper. Rere enjoyed the touch of Dino''s lips on hers. It was chewy and delicious. Their kiss was so deep that Rere grabbed Dino''s waist.


    Dino pressed Rere''s nape to control Rere''s lips. The two took a sip and gave each other pleasure. The two lips pressed against each other with the movement of Dino''s hand which increasingly dared to hug and stroke Rere''s back. Rere couldn''t resist Dino''s kiss which was so intoxicating and immersive. He allowed Dino to deepen their kiss without any intention of stopping him.


    Both of them were panting. Dino released their hot kiss and stabilized himself. He was driven mad and acted out of control. Dino was shocked, he just made a mistake. Rere must have been furious because he had kissed her. Dino is confused about whether he needs to apologize or not. After thinking for a while. Dino decided not to since Rere was not angry. Rere seems to have enjoyed the kiss and returned it.


    The two of them stared at each other with irregular heartbeats. Both of them looked away nervously. Rere cursed herself for not being able to refuse. She was even hypnotized by Dino''s kiss, sadly, she actually enjoyed and returned the kiss.


    Thump....


    Thump ¡­.


    Both of their hearts were beating wildly. The sound of the bell caught their attention.


    "I got it," said Rere nervously. Not daring to look at Dino''s face because she was nervous.

 Chapter 98 - Dinos Suspicion

    Both of them were panting. Dino released their hot kiss and stabilized himself. He was driven mad and acted out of control. Dino was shocked, he just made a mistake. Rere must have been furious because he had kissed her. Dino is confused about whether he needs to apologize or not. After thinking for a while. Dino decided not to since Rere was not angry. Rere seems to have enjoyed the kiss and returned it.


    The two of them stared at each other with irregular heartbeats. Both of them looked away nervously. Rere cursed herself for not being able to refuse. She was even hypnotized by Dino''s kiss, sadly, she actually enjoyed and returned the kiss.


    Thump....


    Thump ¡­.


    Both of their hearts were beating wildly. The sound of the bell caught their attention.


    "I got it," said Rere nervously. Not daring to look at Dino''s face because she was nervous.


    "I got it"


    "Just let me


    open the door."


    "Stop!" Dino waved his hand in the air. "Let''s open the door together."


    "Good." Rere agreed as both of them walked towards the door.


    They saw three police officers and one Dino employee when Dino opened the door.


    "Boss." Faisal greets Dino.


    "Please come in." Dino let them in and sat in the living room.


    Rere went to the kitchen, making drinks for the guests. She made five cups of hot tea and bring some snacks.


    "Please enjoy," said Rere, putting down the tea and snacks.


    "Thank you, madam. Sorry for bothering you." Faisal feels embarrassed. He watched Rere for a moment, the man could tell that his boss''s wife was young. Dino is very lucky to have a wife as young and beautiful as Rere.


    "It is okay." Rere smiled before sitting next to Dino.


    "How are you, sir?" Faisal made small talk.


    "Thank God, I am better now. I recover faster since my wife is here." Dino embraced Rere affectionately. The woman was clumsy and nervous.


    "What about the investigation results?" Dino looked at the police officers.


    "CCTV is turned off when they broke into your office. Looks like this is a planned robbery since they seem to know the location of the CEO''s room. The result of the investigation shows that this is not a robbery. They have a motive to break into your office."


    "Then what is it if not a robbery?" Dino is confused.


    "We are on that. We suspect that they have an insider that knows the condition of your office." Dino was getting more astonished and furious when he heard that. He clenched his fists in anger.


    "Do you have enemies?" The police try to take Dino''s statement.


    Dino shook his head, "I have no enemies."


    "Business rivals?"


    "I have business rivals but they can''t commit such a crime."


    "For now, that''s all we can say."


    "Thank you," Dino said.


    After that, three policemen left. Faisal stays behind.


    "Something is odd," said Dino to Faisal.


    "I also feel the same way."


    "Hire a detective, I want to know who did it. I''m sure there is something behind this."


    "Okay, boss." Faisal nodded.


    "Are you sure you don''t have enemies?" Rere looked worried.


    "Why do you ask such a thing?"


    "I don''t know why, but I have a bad premonition."


    "Why?"


    Dino brought Faisal to talk to his study since the man didn''t want Rere to hear their conversation. For some reason, Dino didn''t want Rere to be involved in his predicament and Rere was very upset about that. Rere wanted to know what really happened to her husband.


    Dino looked around, making sure that there was no one around his study. He didn''t want his wife to worry. Although her lips said that she is not worried, actually Rere cared the most about his circumstances.


    "What is wrong, sir?" Faisal felt strange, looking at Dino''s odd behavior.


    "I don''t want my wife to hear us. She was extremely worried about me, but I don''t want to add her burden." Dino spoke.


    "You are so thoughtful, sir."


    "Don''t laugh at me," Dino replied with an ultimatum.


    "Sorry, sir. I didn''t mean it." Faisal could see Dino''s concern for Rere. "You''re very lucky, sir."


    "Lucky?"


    Faisal nodded, "Your wife is young and very beautiful."


    "Did you have a crush on my wife?" Dino''s possessive nature appeared.


    Faisal just laughed out loud. "I have a wife, sir. How dare I do that! You will definitely hang me."


    "Well, glad that you know that."


    "I''m just teasing you."


    "Damn you."


    "Sir." Faisal''s tone became serious.


    "Yes?"


    "I think this incident is still related to Prince Ahmed."


    "Why did you think so?"


    "He is crazy, sir. The man was removed as crown prince and replaced by his younger brother because of your kidnapping case. I think he wants revenge on you. Remember, Prince Ahmed has a mental disorder. He''s a psychopath."


    Dino was stunned. He never thinks of that.


    "It''s still too early to say that the crazy prince is the mastermind. What''s his motive?"


    "Maybe he told the thief to break into your office and set it on fire. Our company is growing rapidly now, I''m sure Prince Ahmed wants to destroy you."


    "I won''t accuse him until the evidence is found. Ananya is dead so I don''t think he still wants to continue his revenge on me."


    "Don''t be na?ve, sir. Because of you and Gesa, he was stripped of the title of the crown prince. The kingdom can''t withstand public pressure and doesn''t want to have a psychopathic king candidate."


    "Tell our regular detective to find out about that."


    "The CCTV suddenly went off when the incident took place. I suspect that the criminal has an insider in our office."


    "What makes you say that?"


    "Sir, this isn''t the first time you''ve been attacked."


    "But it is not necessarily him. Isn''t he in prison?"


    "Sir, don''t be naive, sir. He''s a prince. He definitely gets special treatment. He can''t serve in a real prison. You must understand what I mean, right?"


    Dino let out a shaky breath. He tried to think about Faisal''s assertion. After pondering for a long time he thought that the man''s analysis made sense. Dino rubbed his face roughly. For some reason, he was suddenly afraid that Prince Ahmed would disturb his family.


    "Find the evidence. If your analysis is correct, I''ll challenge that crazy prince. I won''t stay silent if he bothers me again."


    "I''ll look for evidence, sir."


    Faisal bid his goodbye and left Dino alone in the study. The man brood over the thought of prince Ahmed. Why is that man still bothering him? Dino opened his drawer and took Ananya''s photo out. The girl smiled while holding the two-year-old Hanin. They are the two precious women in his life. He misses her when he sees the photo. Suddenly, the tears just fell without his permission. Dino cries remembering Ananya.


    "Dear, how are you?" Dino stroked Ananya''s photo as if talking to Ananya.


    "I hope you are happy. Wait for us in heaven." Dino was stunned while wiping away his tears. He should be strong and stop crying.


    "I''ve been through a lot without you. Forgive me that I spent my time drinking at the nightclub when you just died. I drank alcohol to forget the sadness of losing you. Ananya, I''m used to losing precious people around me. I''ve lost my father and my brother. Losing you is the biggest loss of my life. I always cry and can''t accept the fact that you are gone from this world. I lost my way and friends to share the joys and sorrows. You left our child. Hanin was so small when you died. You are like an angel to our daughter, she has lost her angel, Ananya. I don''t know what to do. I was devastated when you died, moreover, you were accused of being drunk while driving a car. But, everything has passed now, I can finally clear your name. I have avenged you. I never thought that Prince Ahmed was the one behind your death. That crazy prince even set me up. Luckily Rere helped me that night, but unfortunately, I ruined the girl''s future. I snatched her chastity and impregnated her. I feel like the worst man in the world. I even slandered her that made her hate me. She never told me when she was pregnant. She gave me a son. I''m a bad guy now, dear." Dino wept silently. He didn''t want Rere to hear his cries.


    Dino stroked Ananya''s photo.


    "I''m married to Rere now, dear. I didn''t mean to betray you, but I need someone to accompany me in my old age. I started to love her. At first, I married her just for the sake of my child, but then I fell in love with her instead. Forgive me, dear, I didn''t mean to forget you. For me, you will live in my heart forever. No one can replace you in my and Hanin''s hearts. You have a part of my heart."


    Unbeknownst to Dino, Rere was eavesdropping on him. The girl was touched to hear Dino''s confession. Rere could feel that Dino really loved his late wife.


    "Give me your blessing to build a household with Rere. I''m sure that she will be a good mother to Hanin and Leon. She is a good woman despite her arrogance and pride."


    Rere pouted, annoyed at Dino''s words. She really wanted to pinch Dino''s ear because he had bad mouthed her in front of Ananya.


    "You aren''t mad, are you, dear?" Dino asked. Of course, he didn''t get the answer because he asked an inanimate object.


    "I promise to you. I will be a good father to our daughter Hanin. She will grow up to be a cheerful and energetic girl like you. Rere and I will educate her properly. Trust me, Rere will make a good mother. Rere will love Hanin like she loves Leon. Rest in peace, dear. You don''t have to worry about me since Rere is by my side now." Dino then put Ananya''s photo back to the original place. Dino deliberately kept away all of Ananya''s photos to protect Rere''s feelings. He didn''t want Rere to feel dejected because there were still memories of his late wife.

 Chapter 99 - Failed Plan

    Two burly and muscular men were being beaten for failing to do their job. The two men were the thieves who had infiltrated Dino''s office. Their boss was annoyed that they were caught before executing their plan.


    "What is this? Stupid!" The man cursed annoyedly. He kicked them both in the stomach make them vomited blood.


    "Forgive us, boss. I had no idea that he was still in the office. I thought he was still in Indonesia with his wife."


    "New wife?"


    "Yes, boss. Dino has remarried. I''m investigating his wife''s identity so we can use his wife to destroy him."


    "Great idea." The man named Reyhan smiled mysteriously.


    "Please let go of us, boss."


    "Abdul, let them go!" Reyhan ordered his executioner who has a big body.


    Abdul released the two men, whose names are Ranu and Ihsan.


    "Why did you fail?" Reyhan looked at the two of them with a murderous look.


    "We were going to burn the important company files, but we were caught by Dino, who was in the office at that time," Ranu answered Reyhan''s question.


    "Fool! Why don''t you investigate it first?"


    "Dino should be at home at that time, sir." Ihsan looked down.


    "You keep making excuses. Once stupid, always stupid!" Reyhan shouted at the man.


    "Did you leave any evidence?" Reyhan''s gaze discouraged Ranu and Ihsan.


    "No. We left no trace since we turned off the CCTV before we broke in."


    "Great! If you leave any traces, the police can easily find us."


    "I can guarantee that the police won''t get anything."


    "We have to make a strategy to destroy Dino. The man could not escape again. Don''t hesitate to eliminate anything that gets in our way."


    "Okay, boss," the two men answered in unison.


    Reyhan dismissed Ranu and Ihsan after giving them both a lesson. Reyhan looked at Abdul with a sly grin. Reyhan took a gun from his waist and shot Ranu and Ihsan in the head. Both fell on the ground and died.


    "Fools like them don''t deserve to live." Reyhan blew his gun.


    "I was wondering why you let them go so easily, boss. Turns out it was just a charade." Abdul even laughed at the tragic deaths of Ranu and Ihsan. If any of them failed, they had to die because they were considered useless.


    "Do you think I have become a good person? No. I still wallow in sin. I can kill people like killing ants, as simple as that."


    "Ranu and Ihsan can harm us. Dino wasn''t a fool who wouldn''t take action. Surely that man will be looking for information on who attacked him."


    "Secure our insider in the office. Watch out for him/her, if that person fails, you may kill and dismember him/her."


    "Okay, boss. I will do that."


    "Clean up the useless corpse." Reyhan asked Abdul to bury Ranu and Ihsan.


    Abdul lifted the two bodies to the garden. He dug a hole and buried the two bodies in the ground. On top of that, Abdul planted lilies.


    "Good job, Abdul." Praise Reyhan while lying in the park.


    Two sexy women who only wear bikinis take turns pouring drinks to Reyhan''s glass. Besides being known as a hitman, Reyhan is also known as Don Juan. Playing with women was normal for him. How many women has he fucked and left? For Reyhan, women are only tools to satisfy his lust. The man has become a hitman since he was a teenager. At the age of fifteen, he had the guts to kill his own mother with poison because he could not bear to see his mother suffering from cancer. The man ended his mother''s life so she will not suffer from her illness.


    Reyhan asked the two women to sit on his lap. The two women obeyed. Reyhan''s hand stroked the thighs and the breast of the two women alternately.


    "What''s our next plan, boss?"


    "We will stick to the original plan. Remember, our client wants to destroy Dino. At least we should make the man fall into poverty and live in debt."


    "We can''t use that method, boss. I don''t think it''s effective."


    "Then what do you think?"


    Abdul then approached and whispered his plan to Reyhan.


    "Dino''s wife is here?" Reyhan laughed slyly.


    "Yes, boss. We have to change our strategy. We have to play smoothly since violence was not that effective."


    "Then who will approach Dino''s wife?"


    "Why don''t you do that, boss? You are handsome and charming. Every woman will fall to their knees when they see you. You should seduce his wife and make her fall in love with you, boss. If we destroyed Dino''s marriage, his company would also suffer. The man who was betrayed will not focus on work."


    "Abdul," shouted Reyhan, laughing heartily. "You are a genius. I made the right choice to have you as my right-hand man."


    "You can trust me, boss. Although we must be patient to execute this plan."


    "Why?"


    "Seducing women is not easy, boss. I''m sure Dino''s wife isn''t that easy to approach."


    "Why are you so sure?"


    "She''s a married woman and definitely will keep her distance from men. We need to observe her activities and routine first, then we will make your meeting seems coincidental. Take her heart and destroy their marriage."


    "Are you sure this will work?"


    "If you are the one to execute it, I have no doubt." Abdul glanced at Reyhan.


    Reyhan is very handsome. His face was smooth and masculine like Chinese people. Who would have thought that he was a hitman?


    "You are very good at praising me." Reyhan was flattered.


    "I''m not, boss. In fact, it is you who are so great like a Don Juan." Abdul laughed out loud.


    "Find out Dino''s wife''s activity and share her photos with me. I will train to conquer her."


    Abdul then left Reyhan since the man needs to find out some information about Dino''s wife. Abdul then came across the street from Dino''s house. He saw Rere watering flowers in the garden.


    "She''s beautiful," said Abdul, smiling slyly. "The man must have loved his wife very much. She is still young and green. I can guarantee that boss will not be tempted by Dino''s wife''s beauty. Dino, you must wait for your doom. You can be happy for now, it won''t be too long."


    Abdul also followed Rere when she went to the supermarket with Dino. The two of them look so close and intimate. Abdul kept his distance so no one would suspect him.


    Abdul also recorded Rere and Dino''s activities then reported them to Reyhan. The man sent Rere''s photo when she was watering the plants to Reyhan. Although he captured it from afar, the picture is good and clear.


    "Good job, Abdul." Reyhan burst out laughing, startled the woman who was accompanying him. The woman shivered in fear, afraid that Reyhan would torture her because she fails to serve him.


    "Why are you shaking?"


    "Did I do something wrong?" she asked nervously.


    "You are not."


    "What sin has been committed that our boss wants him dead. Having problems with the boss is not an easy matter."


    "I don''t understand either. I don''t care, all that matters is getting a job and money. There''s nothing more pleasing to the smell of money. I love money. I love my job."


    "Our plan has failed to burn down Dino''s office. We will start the second plan. If necessary we must go to Jakarta to kill him."


    "Wowwww.... I haven''t been there in a long time. I miss the city of Jakarta."


    "Our plan must not fail. The mission this time must be successful. If it fails again the boss will kill us. You understand?" Reyhan glared at Abdul.


    "Yes boss. I understand. We won''t fail again."


    "Failing a second time means we''re ready to die. He''s crazy and won''t let us go."


    Boss Reyhan really wanted Dino dead. The boss had always wanted to kill Dino. Boss Reyhan was too hurt and vengeful. Revenge is blinding his heart. The mission to kill Dino is Reyhan''s life and death. If you fail, you must be ready to accept the consequences. That crazy man would definitely kill him.


    "I''m surprised by the boss. Why do you have a grudge against Dino? Even though we know that revenge is not good. Moreover, holding a grudge for a long time."


    "Don''t worry about it boss. Just think about how much money we got."


    Both laughed. After that they set up a plan how to finish off Dino. Not being able to finish off Dino hurting the people closest to him would be a second choice.


    The two then toasted drinking wine. They competed to see who had the most drinks. Even though they had drunk a lot, they were not drunk. Both are strong drinkers. The smell of wine is so piercing.


    "Toast to our success."


    "Cheers." Abdul raised the glass.


    Finally, they both fell asleep from drinking too much.

 Chapter 100 - Reres Jealousy (1)

    Dino and Rere had returned from the supermarket buying groceries since the food stock in Dino''s refrigerator is running low. There are only noodles and eggs left. Rere wants to do her duty as a wife. She wants to serve nutritious and delicious food for her husband. She browsed the internet to find the recipes. Rere knew that Dino was a picky eater. That''s why Rere literally made dishes that her husband would love to eat. Dino was a Padang descendant, so that man likes spicy food. Dino doesn''t like sweet food and will vomit if he eats them. His stomach immediately felt nauseous because he had been pestered by Padang cuisine since he was a child. Dino tongue only accepts spicy food.


    Rere came up with a cooking idea for Dino. She will cook Kiambang grilled fish. Kiambang grilled fish is a famous dish in Padang, specifically in the Sicincin area. Everyone who comes there will definitely eat this signature dish. The fish is fresh because it is directly taken from the pond. The restaurant raises the fish to be sold. There is no doubt about the taste since it will make everyone want more.


    Rere prepares seasonings to make the grilled fish based on Google''s instructions. To make Kiambang grilled fish, she needs 7 ingredients. The ingredients are 1 large gourami, 1 ounce of red chili, 70 grams of galangal, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 12 garlic, and 6 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce. There are several steps to make the dishes which are to clean the tilapia, coat with lime, leave for a while, then wash thoroughly. Puree the garlic (if using ground garlic, mix it). Pour it into the ground seasonings, add sugar (no need to use salt anymore because ground spices are usually salty), puree the chilies and galangal with a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Add sweet soy sauce, stir before adding flavoring powder. Check the taste. After that, stir it well. Apply it to the fish and let it soak for a while.


    Dino came to the kitchen and looked at his wife. His stomach suddenly felt hungry, smelling the grilled fish fragrance. Suddenly, Dino felt some courage as he hugged Rere from behind. His hand wrapped around Rere''s stomach.


    "What are you cooking?" said Dino with a spoiled tone.


    "I''m cooking now, Dino." Rere was suddenly nervous. Her body was stiff from being intimate with her husband. Not that she doesn''t want to, but her pride won''t let her.


    "I know you''re cooking. What are you making?" Dino didn''t want to let go of her.


    "I am making grilled fish. Can''t you see it?"


    "You''re cute when you''re not angry," Dino replied, making Rere blush.


    The girl''s face reddened with embarrassment. As usual, she pretends as if nothing happened.


    "If you want to laugh, just laugh, dear. Don''t hold back."


    "Who said I want to laugh?" Rere retorted back, she will maintain her dignity.


    "It is you, dear. Who else is here beside you?" Dino teased.


    "If you try to find another wife, I''ll dismember you." Rere took a banana and a knife, then cut the banana into pieces. "If you cheat, I will cut your ''little brother'' like this banana."


    Dino''s guts shrunk. It turns out Rere is scary when she''s angry. Dino realized that he was successful in making Rere attracted to him, although the girl will never say it. Dino''s love is not one-sided since Rere started to care for him.


    "Yes, dear, how dare I act that way? How could I have two wives when I can''t even tame my only wife."


    "Tame? Am I a pet?" Rere put her hand on her hips, showing a fierce face.


    The sound of the bell stopped their argumentation as they looked at each other.


    "Who''s coming?" Rere looked at Dino.


    Dino shrugged, "I don''t know either."


    "Let me open the door. Keep your eyes on the fish. Don''t overcook it." Rere walked to the door.


    Rere opened the door. She was surprised to see a woman in a short skirt and a red-white-striped shirt. She puffed out her chest, and her hair was curly blonde. Her skin is so white, and her legs are very long. Rere looked at the woman from head to toe. There was a sense of anger and dislike when she saw the woman. Rere suspected that Dino brought another woman when she was in City J.


    "Can I help you?" asked Rere fiercely. She didn''t want to let the girl in.


    "I''m looking for Mr. Dino. Is he here?"


    "Who are you?"


    "I am Sheila, Mr. Dino''s secretary."


    "Oh, I am Dino''s wife, Rere." Rere felt the need to introduce herself.


    "Sorry for not recognizing you, ma''am."


    "Who''s it, Re?" Dino followed his wife.


    "It''s your secretary, Sheila," Rere said through gritted teeth in annoyance. No wonder Dino wanted to rush to work, it turned out that his secretary was sexy and tempting. What kind of man can hold back after seeing Sheila''s beauty.


    Dino held his breath. He knew that Rere was angry and jealous since his secretary is sexy and badass like Sheila. She has an alluring body.


    "Come in." Rere invited Sheila into the house.


    "Thank you, ma''am." Sheila smiled kindly. She realized that Rere did not like her presence.


    "What''s wrong, Sheila?" Dino asked directly. He didn''t want to make Rere angry if Sheila stayed for too long.


    "How is your condition, sir?" Sheila is trite.


    "My health has improved. Tomorrow I will go to work. I don''t want to leave work for long."


    "Thankfully, you are okay. Are you hurt somewhere, sir?" Sheila approaches Dino to have a better look at the wound.


    Dino felt uncomfortable and kept his distance from Sheila. The man was afraid that Rere would misunderstand them. Rere came just in time and put down the drink in annoyance. She sat in the middle of Dino and Sheila. Dino is hers! No woman should approach her husband. Dino just smiled at his wife''s childish behavior.


    "Sir, besides checking your condition, I want to discuss our work. The filming of our new product advertisement was delayed due to an incident on set."


    "What do you mean?"


    "The female model broke her leg during the filming process."


    "Really?" Dino looks annoyed because his ad should be aired soon. Looking for a new model will waste their time.


    "The model was not careful when filming," said Sheila sulkily.


    "Gather all those in charge of the ads. I want a meeting."


    "Dino, you just recovered. You shouldn''t work yet." Rere forbids him.


    "But, Re, the filming must be completed immediately. The ads need to be aired sooner."


    "Let the marketing team do the work." Rere crosses her hands. "You need to take care of your health first, No."


    "But, Re."


    "You don''t want to listen to me?" Rere glared at him, giving the man a warning.


    Dino''s guts shrunk, but he cannot just forget about his job.


    "I will help you attend a virtual meeting."


    "I can help too, sir."


    "Just take care of the meeting." Rere forced a smile.


    "But, ma''am."


    "I''m the boss''s wife. You need to listen to me!" Rere turned fierce.


    Sheila bit her finger since she couldn''t do anything. Dino also hinted at Sheila to listen to his wife.


    It turned out that the meeting via zoom did not make Dino satisfied. He needed to meet directly with the team to find a new model. In the end, they held an urgent meeting in the office. Rere didn''t want to be left alone at home, so she followed Dino to the office. Dino was still recovering, so Rere needed to attend to him. Dino''s head was still dizzy. Rere took Dino''s hand as they entered the meeting room. Sheila had to swallow hard, unable to do anything. Dino was being watched by his wife. Sheila took a seat next to Rere. She also prepares the files to be discussed.


    "So, the incident occurred in the middle of the shooting process. We took some safety measures, but somehow it failed. The model has been taken to the hospital and is receiving treatment."


    "Why are you being careless? I have reminded you from the start to prioritize the model''s safety. Human error should be avoided in the shooting process. You are neglectful. Remember the deadline for this ad. In a few days, this ad should be showing everywhere on the billboards. Filming an ad was not easy. The shoot needs to be repeated several times and needs a lot of time and production costs. The advertising concept has been fixed. If we change the concept, the client will be angry because that is not what they agreed on from the start. Besides taking care of the client, we have to pay a dispensation to the model because this incident happened because of our negligence."

 Chapter 101 - Reres Jealousy (2)

    It turned out that the meeting via zoom did not make Dino satisfied. He needed to meet directly with the team to find a new model. In the end, they held an urgent meeting in the office. Rere didn''t want to be left alone at home, so she followed Dino to the office. Dino was still recovering, so Rere needed to attend to him. Dino''s head was still dizzy. Rere took Dino''s hand as they entered the meeting room. Sheila had to swallow hard, unable to do anything. Dino was being watched by his wife. Sheila took a seat next to Rere. She also prepares the files to be discussed.


    "So, the incident occurred in the middle of the shooting process. We took some safety measures, but somehow it failed. The model has been taken to the hospital and is receiving treatment."


    "Why are you being careless? I have reminded you from the start to prioritize the model''s safety. Human error should be avoided in the shooting process. You are neglectful.

If we change the concept, the client will be angry because that is not what they agreed on from the start. Besides taking care of the client, we have to pay a dispensation to the model because this incident happened because of our negligence."


    "Yes, sir. I was wrong. But now is not the time to point a finger at each other. We must find a solution to this problem. I also want to avoid this incident, but it''s beyond my control."


    "Did you just order me around?" Dino couldn''t contain his anger when the head in charge of filming didn''t even want to be blamed.


    "Calm down." Rere stroked Dino''s chest. She did it on purpose to show her ownership of Dino. She glanced at Sheila with displeasure. For some reason, she didn''t like seeing the woman. She thinks that rather than a secretary, Sheila should be a home-wrecker!


    "I can''t, Re. The company''s reputation will plummet if the filming couldn''t be completed. This is the last scene." Dino was suddenly relaxed since he felt a magic touch on his chest. There was a feeling of palpitation, awkwardness, and nervousness when those delicate hands touched his body.


    "What''s the concept of the ad?" Rere asked.


    The marketing team told Rere the advertising concept as Rere listened seriously. Rere nodded when she came up with an idea to finish the shoot.


    "There''s no need to shoot from scratch. I found the solution." Rere smiled brightly.


    "What is it?" Dino was curious. A year ago, Rere was a spoiled child who couldn''t do anything.


    "This model has the same figure as mine. I will make my face look like the original model and perform the last scene."


    "You want to be the model?" Dino is shocked. How could Rere replace the professional model?


    "I can make myself look like a model. I assure you no one will notice the difference. Let''s start filming."


    "But, Re..."


    "It will be fine. Don''t underestimate me." Rere took Dino''s hand.


    Dino felt something odd with Rere''s attitude since Sheila appeared in their house. The woman is fiercer and more possessive that makes him put some distance between him and Sheila. Dino smiled in relief, at least, Rere cared and started to feel jealous of him. The man also had a cunning idea to test Rere''s feelings.


    Dino also accompanied Rere to the shooting location. The production team was in complete shock when Rere appeared in front of them. Rere looks exactly like the model. Dino almost couldn''t believe that Rere could turn herself like the model. The shape of the eyes, nose, and lips is similar to the model. Dino pinched his hand to make sure he wasn''t dreaming.


    "Ma''am is amazing, sir," Sheila said with her mouth hanging open.


    "I was shocked too." Dino reacted.


    "How is it?" Rere juxtaposed the photo of the original model with her face. She smiled with satisfaction because she managed to silence Dino''s mouth. She can feel that Dino underestimated her.


    No one will notice the difference since the height and body shape are very similar to each other. The audience will not notice that the model has changed. Dino gave a thumbs up to his wife.


    "Let''s start." Rere read the scenario and start to discuss it with male models.


    Rere and the male model started the shoot by riding bicycles. They hold hands because the advertising concept is romantic. Dino was flabbergasted when Rere could act properly. People can see the chemistry between them. Dino was jealous seeing Rere so close to the male model.


    "Hmmm," Dino greeted the two of them.


    "How is it?" Rere put her hand on her hips.


    "My wife is a genius and talented." Dino reflexively hugged Rere and kissed his wife''s cheek. Rere gasped and was taken aback.


    "This is your wife, boss?"


    "Yes." Dino hugged Rere tighter and decided to flirt with his wife. He kissed her cheek again.


    "Sorry, I don''t know about that." The man said before running away. He actually wanted to seduce Rere, but when he found out the woman was his big boss''s wife, he stopped his intention.


    "Let''s eat." Dino invites his wife to eat.


    "Wait a minute. I want to remove my makeup."


    "Okay." Dino nodded.


    *****


    Rere tried to find Dino around the shooting location. She saw the team were eating dinner as she walked here and there looking for her husband.


    "Where is Dino?"


    "He went to the wardrobe with Sheila."


    "What?" Rere was taken aback as she ran to the said location. She firmly clenched her fists because of her anger. How dare Dino go there with Sheila.


    Rere slammed the wardrobe door when she saw Sheila cleaning Dino''s clothes that were wet with spilled drinks. Sheila wants to help Dino take off his shirt, but Rere quickly pushes Sheila down.


    "What a flirty woman." Rere vented her anger by grabbing Sheila''s hair.


    Dino didn''t think that Rere would react that strongly. He dragged Rere away from the place, and since the filming process was over, they could go home directly. Sheila laughed, giving Dino a thumbs up because their plan worked.


    "I''m so mad at you." Rere pinched Dino''s ear.


    "There is nothing with us. Sheila accidentally spilled a drink on my shirt, so she helped me find clothes in the wardrobe because she felt guilty making my shirt wet."


    "Liar!"


    "I''m not lying, Re. For God''s sake."


    "Don''t mention God in our argument."


    "I have nothing to do with her."


    "Your secretary is more worthy of being a seducer than a secretary. I don''t like seeing her. Her makeup is very thick, and her clothes are too small for her body. All parts of her body were printed clearly. She must have worked to seduce other women''s husbands." Rere vented her emotions in the car.


    "We''ll discuss it at home," Dino replied casually as if nothing had happened. He smiled contentedly.


    "I''m angry with you." Rere pushed Dino when they just got home.


    "There is nothing between Sheila and me. How many times have I told you? For God''s sake, She is only working for me. You misunderstand our relationship."


    "Why did she help you take off your t-shirt? I never helped you change clothes." Rere spoke spontaneously.


    "Alright. Then come and help me change my clothes." Dino approached Rere asking the woman to take off his shirt.


    Rere was annoyed and then pinched Dino''s strong arm. The man just remained silent and did not react to Rere''s pinch on his body. Rere almost cried, looking at the man.


    "You are seducing me."


    "Seducing?" Dino pretended to be angry as he spoke with an angry tone. "You are the strangest wife in the world. You get angry when another woman helps your husband change clothes while you don''t want to help him. You are selfish and spoiled. I know you never cared for me and you don''t have any affection toward me. I know my worth, but never say that I''m seducing you."


    "You say that I don''t care?" Rere pushed Dino and made the man stagger and hit the wall.


    "Yeah. You don''t care about me."


    "You are annoying." Rere hit Dino''s chest. "If I don''t care about you, how could I become so shocked and afraid when the robbers injured you. I even bothered Bara then came here to take care of you."


    "Why do you care about me?" Dino startled Rere. As usual, he takes advantage of Rere''s echolalia symptoms.


    "You''re the father of my child, that''s why I care."


    "Only that?" Dino smiled a little. Rere''s face, when she was jealous, was adorable.


    Rere looked away, her eyes glistening. Unable to stop it, her tears fell. She expressed her irritation and annoyance by crying. Dino didn''t expect Rere to be this emotional.

 Chapter 102 - Husband And Wife Story

    Rere looked away, her eyes glistening. Unable to stop it, her tears fell. She expressed her irritation and annoyance by crying. Dino didn''t expect Rere to be this emotional.


    "Why are you crying?" Dino lifted Rere''s chin.


    "I don''t like you being so close to Sheila." Rere glanced at her husband with tears on her face.


    "There is nothing between us."


    "You are cheating."


    "I''m not cheating, Rere. Aren''t you the one who said that we were just husband and wife on paper? Since when has this marriage become a real one? Since when do you care about me? Did you forget about it? You always think of me poorly."


    "That''s because I love you," said Rere spontaneously. The word was said because Dino startled her. After saying that, Rere cursed herself for losing control of her mind and mouth.


    "You really love me?" Dino said that out loud as he hugged her tightly and held her.


    "No," Rere suddenly felt the need to defend her pride. She still needs to maintain her prestige.


    "Just say it, dear." Dino teases Rere.


    "No." Rere looked away in embarrassment.


    "Then I will go to Sheila. She cares for me."


    "Arrrghhh. Don''t you dare go near Sheila!" Rere pinched Dino''s waist.


    "Why can''t I approach Sheila? My wife doesn''t care and loves me."


    "Who said I don''t care and love you?"


    "You said no."


    "Yeah, I don''t care."


    "Alright. If that''s the case, Sheila is the only one who cares about me." Dino pretended to leave, but Rere stopped him.


    "Where are you going?"


    "I am going to Sheila."


    "Dino." Ree was furious. She took a pillow and hit Dino. "You are insensitive. That''s how women normally react. Her mouth said no, but her heart said yes. Stupid widower. Didn''t you have a married experience? how could you be so stupid?"


    "Stop it." Dino smiled in relief as he took the pillow and threw it away. Dino held both of Rere''s hands. "I lied that I am going to Sheila. The incident before was just an act between us."


    "What do you mean? Why did you lie to me?" Rere crossed her arms with pouty lips.


    "I did it on purpose to test your feelings for me. Now, I know that you care and love me." Dino smiles. Rere sobbed quietly because she realized she had been tricked. She didn''t know how to react to Dino''s statement. There was a sense of happiness, relief, but also anger that Dino had teased her.


    Dino brought Rere to sit on the bed and held his wife''s hands.


    They were silent¡­


    No one tried to make a sound.


    Dino hugged his wife. Rere vented her frustration by crying. Dino hugged his wife tighter. He felt happy after knowing Rere''s feelings for him. The man kissed Rere''s forehead.


    "Don''t cry, baby. Sorry that I make you cry. If I didn''t do it, you won''t be aware of your feelings, and I won''t be aware of my feelings either."


    "Don''t lie to me again,"


    "I promise I won''t lie to you. This is the first and last time. I am also fond of you. Even though you are grumpy, but you are kind and care about other people. You have a great sense of empathy."


    They hugged each other with love. For the first time, Rere did not struggle when Dino hugged her tightly as if she didn''t want to let go of him. It doesn''t matter if there is love or not. The important thing is that the affection has grown. They just need to cultivate it until the love grows and takes root in each other''s hearts. Now, they only wish to share the warmth and the longing in their heart.


    Dino and Rere lay on the bed. Both of them had showered and were wearing a couple pajamas. Dino tilted his body to look at his wife.


    "Why do you look at me like that?" Rere also tilted like Dino.


    "You are beautiful." Dino stroked Rere''s cheek.


    "I am." Rere nodded.


    Dino took off his blanket and then pressed Rere''s body. The man gave Rere a kiss on the lips.


    "What are you doing?" Rere was shocked when Dino took off her pajamas, leaving only sexy underwear with soft straps wrapped around Rere''s body.


    "Why did you never wear sexy clothes in front of me? I want you to wear the nightgown you wore when I was watching you from Hanin''s phone." Dino winked teasingly at Rere.


    Rere burst out laughing." What a pervert."


    "There''s nothing wrong with being a pervert with my own wife." Dino kissed Rere''s cheek.


    "It tickles." Rere shook her head when Dino kissed her neck.


    "The widowers'' style is obviously different. They just go directly without further ado." Rere mocked her husband.


    "You need to understand this lonely widower. I haven''t touched a woman in years." Dino hugged his wife''s waist and rested his head on Rere''s shoulder.


    "Did you try to find an opportunity to cuddle?" Rere slightly lowered her face. Still nervous and clumsy when Dino made out with her.


    "Can I do it? Can''t I hug my own wife?" Dino spoke in a sulky tone, looking for attention from Rere.


    "I''m still surprised to see you like this. It''s like a dream to become your wife."


    "How does it feel to become a mother?"


    "The feeling of giving birth? I gave birth to Leon normally. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride when I managed to get Leon out of my body. I was proud that I was strong enough. Leon weighed 4kg. The struggle is real and unbelievable."


    "Are you giving birth through the normal process? With a baby weighing 4 kg?" Dino was flabbergasted.


    "Why did you ask?"


    "They must have cut you down there." Dino had an innocent expression.


    "They did, and they stitched it after that."


    "Did they stitch everything?"


    "What do you mean?" Rere didn''t understand the direction of Dino''s conversation.


    "Since everything is sewn, then what about me?"


    "What about you?" Rere is still green. Dino really wanted to pinch his wife''s cheek, looking at his wife''s innocent face. Rere is too naive.


    "If everything were sewn, then how can I create Leon''s siblings."


    Rere couldn''t hold back her annoyance as she ran after Dino, who runs quicker than her.


    "Don''t run." Rere chased Dino out of the room.


    "Then stop chasing me."


    "You''re perverted. Why did you talk about that?"


    "I give up," Dino said breathlessly. His temples were wet with sweat from running around.


    Rere sat next to him then pinched Dino''s thigh. The man groaned in pain.


    "It hurts, Re. This is domestic violence. I can report you to the police for mistreatment."


    "Just report it so you can send the mother of your two children to prison. Hanin and Leon will lose their mother," Rere retorted with a frown.


    Dino hugged Rere then kissed his wife''s cheek.


    "How can I do that to my wife? If I report you and you''re getting caught, we can''t¡­." Dino paused, waiting for his wife''s reaction.


    "Go on," Rere smiled sweetly, holding Dino''s chin.


    "We can''t hang out with the kids together," Dino replied simply.


    "Really? Are you sure you really say that from your heart?" Rere realized that she had been lied to.


    "Of course," Dino said with a silly face. He took her hand and placed it on his chest. "You can feel my heartbeat."


    "If I can''t feel your heartbeat, it means you''re dead," Rere replied honestly. Rere''s honesty made Dino''s spirit slacken. His facial expression turned sour, not as cheerful as before.


    "Why did you make that kind of face?"


    "Why don''t women understand men''s feelings? Men also want to be understood."


    "So, are you angry?" Rere flicked Dino''s cheek.


    "Stop it" Dino pretended to be angry. "I don''t want to be your friend."


    "Okay then, sleep outside tonight."


    "Don''t be like that, dear. I want to sleep with you. Let''s sleep together." Dino moved his hands like someone making out.


    "Whatever! I am right when I say that man is a butterfly. After sucking the nectar, it will move to another flower."


    "How could I act that way, dear. I haven''t even sucked the nectar from the flower in front of me yet. How could I just leave and move to another flower?"


    "So, when you are done sucking my nectar, will you move to another flower? Annoying. A day hasn''t even passed since I expressed my feelings, and you started to act up."


    "I''m sorry, dear. It was just a joke."


    "It was just a joke, dear. Please don''t be angry." Dino embraced Rere as they both laughed funny.


    "Re," Dino softly called his wife.


    "What''s it?" Rere was listening to her husband''s words seriously.


    "I''m sorry if I have cut a deep wound in your heart. I swear to God that that morning there was a misunderstanding. I think__________________"


    Rere landed her index finger on Dino''s lips. "Stop talking about that. Let bygones be bygones. We live in the present, not the past. Forget it since I have forgiven you."


    "Thank goodness, Re. I''m happy to hear that."


    "I want honesty from you, Dino."


    "What honesty?"

 Chapter 103 - The Story Behind The Door

    Dino looked at his wife. Their eyes met, and they started to talk.


    "To be honest, I didn''t have feelings for you at first, but time made me love and care for you. I love you so much, Re."


    "You did not love me?" Rere was a little disappointed to hear her husband''s words.


    "It''s not that I don''t love you, but that feeling is just growing. If love continues to be nurtured, it will surely thrive. Now, I''m learning to love you, Re."


    "Do you still love Ananya?"


    "I''m sorry, Re, but I have to be honest with you. Although you are my wife, Ananya is my first wife. She is Hanin''s mother. I would be lying if I said I don''t love her. That love is still in my heart. Even though she had died, her memories will always live in my heart. You also have a special place in my heart. Therefore, if asked who I love the most, I can''t answer your question. You guys mean the same to me, Re. One thing you should know, losing her was the heaviest blow in my life. I felt doubtful and unsettled. I''ve lost my father and brother, but it hurts more to lose my wife. I felt like half of my life was gone."


    "I understand how you feel. I can''t force you to love me more, but I want to ask you one thing. Never glance at other women. I don''t like mine being claimed by someone else. I have a very high sense of belonging. No one else can touch what is mine."


    "Give me a chance to get to know you better and learn to understand you, Re. From now on, promise me not to be cold and mean to me, Re. If you''re angry, just say it. If you don''t like it, tell me. I want to be your life partner who means a lot to me. Let''s share your joys and sorrows with me. When you fall, we will face the world together. I will always hold your hand no matter what happens."


    "I''m touched to hear that." Rere burst into tears.


    "Don''t cry anymore, dear." Dino rubbed Rere''s head.


    "This is a happy cry. I am happy to have you as my husband. Now I understand why Bara was so persistent to make me marry you. He even dares to give me assurance."


    "Assurance?" Dino is confused.


    "Yes. Assurance." Ree nodded.


    "Why did you do that? I sound like an item?"


    "Bara tells me that you''re a good man, and I''m lucky to marry you. He also said if you hurt me, then he will be the first person to step in to avenge me," Rere said, adding some more lies.


    "Wow... I''m scared." Dino shuddered, distancing himself from Rere.


    "Why did you move away?"


    "I''m afraid of being strangled by Bara when he knows her sister cries," Dino jokingly replied.


    "Darn you." Rere approached Dino and pinched his husband''s arm.


    "Why do you like to pinch me, dear?" Dino was happy as he kissed Rere''s cheek. The girl dodged, but the kiss landed on Rere''s lips instead.


    Rere gasped and fell silent as Dino''s lips brushed against hers. His kiss felt soft and warm, awakening something inside her. She felt a strange tingle in her body. Her body started to get hot. She can feel Dino''s minty breath in her mouth when Dino opens the access to Rere''s mouth.


    Rere closed her eyes, enjoying Dino''s warm kiss. The man was getting brave as he touched Rere''s sensitive area.


    Rere broke the kiss when she felt something hard touching her thigh.


    "You are aroused?" asked Rere, flabbergasted.


    "What''s it?" Dino teased Rere instead and pressed their bodies together. Dino''s member was getting hard. Rere suddenly remembers the underwear incident in the morning as her face turns red. Rere ran to the room in embarrassment and closed the bedroom door. Still not ready to meet Dino. She is standing behind the door.


    "Why did you run away, dear? Open the door," Dino asked teasingly.


    "I do not want to. I''m still in shock. How could you become horny just by a kiss? I''m scared."


    "That''s normal for men, Re."


    "It wasn''t like that before."


    "We were still prioritizing our dignity, so there was not much reaction. Open the door, Rere, then we can open another thing after that."


    "I don''t want to. Pervert!" Rere laughed heartily.


    "Come on, open the door, Rere." Dino slumped on the floor. He leaned against the door. Unbeknownst to them, they were both leaning against the bedroom door.


    "I don''t want to open the door. I''m too shocked."


    "What happened?" Dino couldn''t help but laugh. He tried to laugh quietly. Afraid that Rere will be angry since his wife is too sensitive.


    "I am too shocked since you are horny with just a kiss."


    "But I am horny because of you and not because of another woman."


    "I''m not ready yet, Dino."


    "Why aren''t you ready yet?" Dino tried to talk heart to heart with Rere.


    "We have just expressed our feelings to each other, and I have just accepted that our marriage is real. The love for you isn''t that big, and I''m still learning to love you. You are a good man, but I need time to carry out my role as a wife. Can you understand it? I''m still afraid of this, and if you asked me your rights as a husband, I am not ready to do that now. Can you wait until I am ready?"


    Dino smiled even though Rere couldn''t see him.


    "Yes, I understand. You''re still too shocked. I know it''s not easy for you to express your feelings. I know how hard it is for you to say it. I''ll be waiting for you, Re. I''m sorry if I made you uncomfortable."


    "There is no need to apologize. I was wrong since I cannot fulfill my duty as a wife. I''m sorry I''ve been rude and cold to you." Rere sat and hugged her knees.


    "I understand your situation, Re. You don''t have to apologize. I know that it is difficult for a woman to forget the man who hurt her in the past. Even though several years have passed, she will always remember. I know you are not ready for our meeting and our marriage. You also cannot accept Hanin as your daughter easily. Everything needs adjustment, Re."


    "Thank you for your understanding, No. I am deeply moved. I was wrong all this time since you are not as bad as I imagined."


    "I am not that bad, okay?" Dino burst out laughing. "Your husband is handsome, Re. There is nothing ugly about him since he is the ideal husband of every woman in this country."


    Rere smiled brightly.


    "You are too confident. Who said that you were cool and handsome?"


    "I didn''t say it. You are the one who says that I am cool and handsome."


    Rere crossed her hands then pouted her lips. Dino always succeeded in trapping her with words.


    "You are annoying. You always manage to make me say the things you want to hear. Age cannot hide one''s skills."


    "I am uncomfortable with the topic of numbers. Did you keep teasing me since you are only twenty-five?"


    "I am twenty-four and will turn twenty-five on my next birthday." Rere corrected. "It turns out you are that old. You are thirty-nine years old."


    "It''s okay. My ageless face still looks like thirty. I won''t be embarrassed when we go out together."


    "Who''s embarrassed to go out with you? There''s nothing to be ashamed of. If I went out with you, the girls would scream when they found out you weren''t single anymore."


    "Young girls are ensnared by the charm of a handsome widower."


    "That''s right. I''ve been caught up in the charm of a handsome widower." Rere couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Why are you laughing, Re?"


    "I lost. I eat my own shit. I said I wouldn''t like you, but it turned out to be the opposite."


    "It''s okay to eat your own shit rather than eat others shit."


    "You''re really good at talking, huh?"


    "Re, open the door, please." Dino sulked. On a whim, he knocked on the door.


    "Why did you knock on the door? I knew you wanted to come in."


    "I am afraid that you didn''t hear me."


    "I heard you clearly. I will open the door, but you need to promise me something, okay?"


    "What kind of promise?"


    "Promise me you won''t be naughty. Since I''m not ready to..."


    "For what?" Dino startled Rere. He knew very well that his wife would talk honestly, and he liked to tease her that way.


    "To make love to you."


    "Hahahaha..." Dino''s laughter broke the silence of the night.


    Rere got up and opened the door for her husband.


    "Thank you for opening the door, dear." Dino hugged Rere then kissed her cheek, but he failed since Rere covered her cheeks with her hands. As a result, Dino kissed Rere''s palm.

 Chapter 104 - Not A Seduction

    "Re, open the door, please." Dino sulked. On a whim, he knocked on the door.


    "Why did you knock on the door? I knew you wanted to come in."


    "I am afraid that you didn''t hear me."


    "I heard you clearly. I will open the door, but you need to promise me something, okay?"


    "What kind of promise?"


    "Promise me you won''t be naughty. Since I''m not ready to..."


    "For what?" Dino startled Rere. He knew very well that his wife would talk honestly, and he liked to tease her that way.


    "To make love to you."


    "Hahahaha..." Dino''s laughter broke the silence of the night.


    Rere got up and opened the door for her husband.


    "Thank you for opening the door, dear." Dino hugged Rere then kissed her cheek, but he failed since Rere covered her cheeks with her hands. As a result, Dino kissed Rere''s palm.


    "You are naughty," Rere squeaked with a small laugh.


    Rere was silent when Dino landed a kiss on her lips instead. She felt as if she was struck by lightning.


    "You cheated." Rere stifled a laugh.


    "That''s because I cannot kiss your cheek. Don''t worry, I''m not stimulated because of that." Dino poked Rere''s cheek. The man loves to tease his wife.


    Rere reflexively looked at Dino''s crotch. Suddenly she swallowed hard when she remembered the underwear incident. Dino''s underwear had an extraordinary magical aura that made it unforgettable.


    "My brain." Rere hit her forehead.


    "Why are you hitting your forehead?"


    "My brain stops working properly after seeing you only in your underwear," Rere answered fiercely, trying to maintain her pride.


    "What about my underwear?" Dino thought for a moment, then smiled brightly.


    "You can''t forget that incident? Is my underwear enchanted you?" Dino attacked his wife.


    "Yes, I was enchanted by your underwear. I am also a normal woman who is tempted by a man''s sexy body. I often see sexy men on social media, but when I see the real thing, it gives a different impression like I am in a dreamland."


    "I like your honesty." Dino stroked his wife''s cheek.


    "Did you like my honesty or innocence?"


    "What do you mean that you are innocent?"


    "I''m innocent, sir."


    "You''re not innocent, Rere. If you were innocent, you wouldn''t realize my arousal earlier."


    "Don''t talk about it. It gives me goosebumps." Rere left Dino as she lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.


    Dino followed Rere, lay down beside her, and held his wife''s hand.


    "Thank you for trusting me and letting me step into the room."


    "A man should be true to his words. I believe you will not break your promise."


    "I promise. I won''t touch you until you''re ready to be my wife completely. I know you need time, and I know you don''t open up easily. You''ve tried hard to express your feelings, and I really appreciate that."


    "I don''t know when I started to care about you, but I started to realize it when I saw Sheila. Could you ask your secretary to dress modestly? I am uncomfortable seeing her in those kinds of clothes. She seems like she wants to seduce you."


    "Oh my gosh, Re. Why are we talking about Sheila now?"


    "I''m jealous. My husband''s secretary is so sexy and seems like a seductive woman."


    "Sheila never bothers me with that. I can''t do anything since that is the way she dressed?"


    "Doesn''t the company have a dress code?"


    "My office is kind of free, Re. The employee can wear whatever clothes they want to as long as they look neat and polite. There is no special dress code."


    "But Sheila''s clothes are too tight. I''m uncomfortable to see it even though I am also a girl. Since you are a man, you must have enjoyed the free scenery. If you did not say anything to Sheila about her clothes, that is okay, but you will never get anything from me. No make love session."


    "Don''t be like that, Re. I have nothing to do with that?"


    "It is your fault for not reprimanding the way Sheila dressed. I feel uncomfortable every time I see her."


    "Are you jealous, Re?" Dino put his foot on top of Rere''s foot. Hugging her as if she were bolster.


    "What the hell is this? Did you just seduce me?"


    "I am not seducing you, Re" Dino hugged her tighter, and even his legs were wrapped around his wife''s waist.


    Rere struggled to free herself from Dino''s grip. Rere idly took a blanket and wrapped her husband''s body.


    "What the hell is this?" Dino screamed when his face was covered with the blanket.


    "I will kidnap you since you dare to seduce me. You cannot make love to me yet."


    "You''re weird." Dino surrendered as he stopped putting up a fight. "I am not seducing you. Stop overthinking. I just want to hug you."


    "So you just want to hug me and not seduce me to make love to me."


    Dino removed the blanket covering his body. He patted the bed next to him for Rere to sit next to him.


    "Don''t be angry, honey. I''m just joking. It''s fun to tease you. When you''re angry, Mommy Rere gets prettier and cuter."


    "Dad is the best at teasing, huh?" Rere stroked Dino''s chin. There is no awkward feeling in touching her husband, especially since they have promised to love and care for each other.


    "No. I don''t like to flirt with you."


    "Really?" Rere stroked Dino''s chest. Naughty, Rere pulled Dino''s nipples.


    "Your hands are getting naughty."


    "What do you mean? I am not."


    "Then what are you doing?" Dino said, then burst out laughing.


    "I think we''re going to sleep so late tonight because we''re busy talking. Come on, tell me what you''re doing while I''m not here?"


    "Just go to work. Actually, I want to ask you about something?"


    "What is it?"


    "Have you ever worked as a makeup artist and a model?"


    "Why did you ask?"


    "You are good with makeup and look like that model. I like the way you act, and I also find that you are an amazing actress."


    "Did you really like it or jealous of the male model?"


    "How could I not be jealous? That guy wants to flirt with you."


    "I know that he wants to flirt with me. Women will know the people who are interested in them and which ones are flirting with them."


    "How about me?" Dino put his head on Rere''s lap. Happy to have a very intimate chat with his wife.


    "You''ve been flirting with me from the start, No," Rere spoke in a serious mode. "You feel sorry for me for accusing me rudely. Your guilt is getting bigger after Tia told you the truth. I know that you did a DNA test on Leon. You asked Tia to steal Leon''s hair, didn''t you?"


    "Yes, I asked her."


    "I was mad at Tia because she made that decision without telling me."


    "She only wants the best for you. As a friend, Tia''s role is important in your life, which is also the same as your role in Tia''s life. You complement each other. You are lucky to have a friend like Tia. She loves you very much."


    "I know." Rere played with Dino''s hair.


    "May I know something, Re?".


    "What is it?"


    "Why did you help me that night?"


    "It is just for humanity''s reason. I heard some guys talk to the bartender to put an aphrodisiac in your drink. When they pointed at you, I was shocked since I know you are the CEO in my office."


    "What are you doing at the bar? Did you like wandering in those kinds of places?"


    "It is normal for young people who live far away from their parents. I like clubbing." Rere laughed, remembering her naughty youth.


    "Did Bara know that you like clubbing?


    "At that time, he was still sick and lost his memory. He is not as scary as now. When he was still in amnesia, he was very gentle and never got angry at me. Now I didn''t even dare to lie to him. I am scared just by looking at his eyes."


    "You are lucky to have a stepbrother as good as him, Re. He is very caring and considerate."


    "Maybe that is because he is an only child. From a long time ago, Bara really wanted to have a sibling."


    "I don''t think so. He really loves you. His love for Leon was so big. I''m glad Leon never lost a father figure because Bara took my place when I wasn''t there. Coincidentally, we switched places. I became a father to Bara''s three children and Bara became a father to Leon."


    "This is destiny." Rere smiled happily, playing her finger on Dino''s face.


    "Soulmates, fortune, and death are three things that can never be guessed. Humans can''t do anything about those too. We can only plan, but God is the one who decides it. I can say that we are the perfect example. I didn''t expect that we were connected through Bara and Dila. I was also shocked and surprised to have a child with you. When you left my apartment. There was regret in my heart. Why did I accuse you, even though I realized that you were still a virgin at that time."

 Chapter 105 - Their First Trial

    "This is destiny." Rere smiled happily, playing her finger on Dino''s face.


    "Soulmates, fortune, and death are three things that can never be guessed. Humans can''t do anything about those too. We can only plan, but God is the one who decides it. I can say that we are the perfect example. I didn''t expect that we were connected through Bara and Dila. I was also shocked and surprised to have a child with you. When you left my apartment. There was regret in my heart. Why did I accuse you, even though I realized that you were still a virgin at that time."


    Rere covered her face because Dino discussed the incident of their one night stand.


    "Why did you cover your face?" Dino took Rere''s hand that covered her face.


    "I am embarrassed. Don''t bring that up again. I was like a lunatic that night."


    "I am also in the same condition as you, Re. I pounced on you until you were in pain. The blood that night is a witness to my fierceness." Dino talks bluntly.


    "Let''s not talk about it anymore. I''m embarrassed."


    "I''m sorry I took your virginity that way, Re. You must bear the shame and humiliation because of my carelessness."


    "Stop talking about it. I swear I''m really embarrassed. Maybe, my destiny is to become your wife, so you could teach me to love you. The important thing is that you are responsible."


    "Of course. Please teach me to love you too. I want to grow old with you and our children."


    "Promise me you won''t let me down. I''m sensitive and quickly draw conclusions."


    "Don''t overthink things and enjoy your life. You''re still young, right?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "You are still young." Dino hugged Rere''s waist. The girl did not refuse, therefore Dino became bolder. He put his hand in Rere''s shirt and stroked his wife''s waist.


    "Dino," Rere warned Dino. She knew it was his right as her husband, but she wasn''t ready.


    "Why?"


    "Please wait."


    "I need to be pampered," said Dino sulkily. He purposely annoys Rere.


    "The wound is in your head and not on your hand. It can''t be cured by touching me."


    "The wife''s body is an addiction to the husband. Can we....?"


    "Not yet. If I''m ready to make love with you, I''ll let you know later."


    Dino scowled in disappointment. He thought that Rere would be tempted by his seduction, but he was wrong! Rere is firm in her stance.


    "You don''t have to pout like that."


    "I want to make love to you," replied Dino, pretending to sulk.


    "Be patient." Rere avoided Dino''s kiss when the man was about to kiss her lips.


    "Stingy."


    "Let''s sleep. Tomorrow you have to remove the stitches on your head, right?"


    "Can I sleep while holding you?"


    "Of course you can."


    "Yesss." Dino cheered happily.


    In the morning, Rere got up to make breakfast for Dino. Rere was in the kitchen cooking spicy fried rice.


    Her cell phone rings showing that there is a video call from Tia.


    "Hi, Tia. How are you?" Rere greeted Tia happily.


    Tia was surprised because Rere was very cheerful and smiled happily. It was rare to see Rere that happy. Tia notices that there was something different about Rere.


    "Your hair is wet?" Tia is in shock with a gaping mouth.


    "I just wash my hair. What''s wrong with that?"


    "Are you having sex with Mr.Dino?"


    "What are you saying? So wet hair is a sign of making love?'' Rere looks embarrassed. She put her cellphone in the cell phone holder so she could still cook while video calling with Tia.


    "it might be," Tia looks curious. " What are you cooking?"


    " I am making spicy fried rice."


    "For whom?"


    "Of course it is for Dino and me."


    "His name sounds so sweet in your mouth now." Tia teases again. "You''ve become so sweet and I was surprised since it looks like you''ve opened your heart to your husband? Am I speaking the truth?"


    "So, how should I call him?"


    "Never mind. You haven''t answered my question, Re."


    "I''m too tired to answer it. It''s up to you whether you want to believe it or not." Rere didn''t care about Tia''s response. She was busy stirring the fried rice in the pan. The rice is well mixed with the seasoning. Rere took a spoon and tasted it, whether the seasoning was right or not.


    "It is so rare that you are very passionate about cooking. What happened?"


    "There''s nothing. I just want to cook. Who is going to cook if not me? The house assistant is given leave by my in-laws."


    "Are you alone with Mr.Dino?"


    "That is right. My mother-in-law said that she has a meeting out of town. Mother in law has to represents Dino since he was sick."


    "How''s your man doing?"


    "He is fine. I''m going to the doctor today to see the wound. If it''s safe, they can remove the bandage."


    "How long will you be there?"


    "Until Dino recovers."


    "What about the kids?"


    "Your boss and his wife can take care of our children."


    "Our children? Did you mean Hanin?"


    "Did I say something wrong?"


    "No, but don''t you say that you can''t accept Hanin? Now you''ve called her our children. That was sweet¡­."


    "Sweet my foot! Relax, sometimes you are overreacting."


    "Am I?"


    "Where did you sleep last night?" Tia is getting curious about Dino and Rere''s relationship.


    "Did you really want to know? Are you curious?" Rere stuck out her tongue in front of the camera. She scooped the rice into the plate and put it on the dining table. Tia could clearly see what Rere was doing.


    "She has changed." Tia mumbles. "I''ve never seen Rere this happy. There must be something that makes her mood better."


    "Aren''t you going to work?" Rere looked back at the camera.


    "In a minute. I''m waiting for Daniel to pick me up."


    "It''s good to be in the same office as your future husband." Rere sneered.


    "Of course. That''s why you should have worked with Mr. Dino."


    "No, thanks."


    "Manage your own company.  Mr. Bara has been taking care of it and that makes his job busier. He has other companies to manage."


    "Shut up. Bara was okay with that."


    "What do you mean by okay? Stop talking nonsense. You better hurry and take care of your own company." Tia is serious.


    "Why? Is there something you haven''t told me yet?"


    "Your uncle, your father''s brother, asks for his rights in the company. He was furious because it was Mr.Bara who took over all the companies. He said that Mr. Bara is unsuitable because he is only an outsider."


    "Did Uncle Lutfi really say that? Why have I never heard about it?"


    "How dare he speak about that with you. He was afraid that he would be kicked out of the company. Mr. Bara''s presence in your company creates a bad atmosphere. Some are jealous of your stepbrother. Mr. Lutfi feels more entitled to lead the company than Mr. Bara. Mr. Bara is busier taking care of your company than his own company. Miss. Dian took over Mr. Bara''s company. You need to go back to work and learn to lead the company from Mr. Bara. If you''re good at it, the boss will let you lead your own company."


    "I''ll think about it later, Tia. I honestly don''t want to work in the company yet."


    "You need to make the decision sooner, Re. Before the conflict between Mr. Bara and Mr. Lutfi broke out. Do you know what Mr. Bara does when he is angry, right?"


    "Yeah, I know," Rere said quickly.


    "Hi, dear."  Dino with his short pants greeted, hugging Rere from behind. He hugged her waist tightly then kissed Rere''s cheek.


    Tia gawked as she couldn''t believe what she saw. It feels like a dream that Rere is not angry when Dino hugs and even kisses her.


    "Dino," Rere whispered in surprise as she immediately turned off the camera.


    "Damn, she turned it off." Tia pouted her lips.


    "Why are you surprised?" Dino held both of Rere''s hands.


    "I''m on a video call with Tia. She will know if we¡­."


    "What''s wrong if she knows that we have made up. You have accepted our marriage. What''s the problem?"


    "I''m embarrassed. Surely, she will tease me and this will reach Bara''s ears."


    Dino burst out laughing as he caressed and pinched Rere''s cheek excitedly.


    "What are you cooking, dear?"


    "I make spicy fried rice." Rere proudly shows off her dishes.


    Dino smelled the fried rice that made him hungry. It must be delicious.


    "Let''s eat." Dino invited Rere to sit next to him. The man scooped the rice and put it in his mouth. "Wow, that''s delicious."


    "Is it good?" Rere was relieved that Dino liked her cooking.


    Dino ate the spicy fried rice deliciously. He finished the food and drank the hot tea.


    "Why is it bland, Re?"


    "Really?"


    "Just try it." Dino gave his glass to Rere.


    Rere drank Dino''s tea. It is not bland, sweet, but not too sweet.


    "It is not. It is sweet."


    "Let me try," Dino took the glass from Rere''s hand and drank his tea again.


    "After being touched by your lips, the taste of this tea becomes sweet."


    "You are getting smarter at seducing now." Ree couldn''t help but laugh.


    "I am serious, dear, but it''s true. The bitter food will taste sweet just by looking at you."


    Rere shook her head at Dino''s statement.

 Chapter 106 - Another Mistakes 21+

    After breakfast, Dino and Rere prepared to visit the hospital. Dino will go there for a check-up. When both of them leave the house, Reyhan was following them secretly. The man was spying on them.


    Reyhan will be the torn in Dino and Rere''s household and ruin their marriage. The family should never be happy. Dino didn''t deserve to be happy because he had ruined someone else''s happiness.


    "I will take your wife and I will make you suffer physically and mentally, Dino," Reyhan said as he smiles. He was confident he could conquer Rere and ruin their marriage.


    Rere and Dino had just expressed their feelings, but Reyhan had planned something to destroy the very young marriage. Dino and Rere still have a long way to go, but the enemy always tries to create chaos in Dino''s life. Rere''s smile and laughter will disappear. Can they deal with the trials in their marriage? How will they confront the trial in the future?


    The doctor removed the bandage and examined the wound on Dino''s head that seemed to heal properly.


    "The wound is healing and doesn''t show any sign of infection. You have nothing to worry about anymore."


    "Did we have to make another visit to the hospital?" Rere asked.


    "No need to do that, ma''am. Your husband is fine."


    "Thank you, doctor."


    "You''re welcome."


    Dino and Rere directly go home after that. The two of them holding their hand intimately made Reyhan look at them in annoyance. Why did Dino have to marry a girl as beautiful and as young as Rere? His eyes gleamed like an eagle chasing its prey.


    "Where are we going, Re?" asked Dino, embracing his wife affectionately.


    "Let''s go home directly."


    "I don''t want to." Dino acted spoiled by leaning his head on Rere''s shoulder.


    "It is embarrassing, Dino."


    "It''s okay. We are legally husband and wife."


    "Big baby." Rere sneered at her husband.


    "I''m a big baby who needs caress and affection."


    "What a flirt."


    "Re, how about we go on a date to celebrate our wedding?"


    "Good idea."


    "Okay." Dino winked at Rere.


    They got in the car. Dino asked Rere to drive because he needed to make a call. Dino then called Sheila to ask the girl to prepare their lunch at a hotel. Dino wanted their lunch to be private without any outsiders around.


    Rere was so busy driving that she didn''t hear her husband''s conversation. Dino spoke quietly because he wanted to surprise his wife.


    "Pull over first, Re," Dino said, touching his wife''s arm.


    "What''s wrong?" Rere stopped at the side of the road.


    "I will drive. I''m done setting up our date."


    "Okay." Rere wanted to open the car door but Dino stopped her.


    "You don''t have to get down at all." Dino lifted Rere''s body to sit on his lap.


    Rere was shocked when her buttocks pressed against Dino''s body. Her heartbeat is getting stronger. When Rere was finally woken from her daze state, Dino had moved to the driver seat.


    "Why are you so quiet?" Dino smirked.


    "Nothing." Rere shyly averts her gaze. Suddenly, she remembered Dino''s hard member in her ass as she got goosebumps all over her body. Touching Dino''s body made her feel good.


    "Did you feel it when you were on me?" Dino teased his wife. His gaze was straight ahead as he was driving.


    "What are you talking about? Your brain can only think about porn."


    "It''s a normal topic for husband and wife to get more familiar with each other."


    "Intimate is when you have sex."


    "I want it, Re," Dino said excitedly. He deliberately poked Rere''s thigh to see his wife''s reaction.


    "Don''t be naughty."


    "What if I like being naughty?"


    "Where are we going?"


    "Wherever it is as long as I am with you. Let''s enjoy our honeymoon first since we are here."


    "Honeymoon?"


    "Yeah, we''re on our honeymoon." Dino nodded.


    "Let''s go to a resort or a villa for our honeymoon."


    "Do you want to? If we go there, you must be prepared since I might do something naughty to you?"


    "Then let''s go on our honeymoon," Rere replied as she held her husband''s hand.


    "Really? Don''t blame me if I make mistake and can''t hold myself back, honey."


    "Let''s make mistakes together then."


    "Are you ready to make love to me? I''m serious, Re."


    "I''m ready for this, No." Rere braced herself.


    "Thank you, darling." Dino wanted to kiss Rere but he couldn''t since he was driving.


    Dino entered the parking lot of a five-star hotel. The man invited Rere to lunch on the rooftop as they are both happy holding hands.


    Rere couldn''t hide her happiness when she came to the rooftop. They were greeted with a shower of roses like kings and queens. Several waitresses lined up neatly to greet them from both sides. The entrance is decorated like a wedding venue. The red carpet spread out on the floor. Various flower decorations adorn the road they pass.


    "What is this?" Rere was amazed that she couldn''t hide her happiness. She didn''t know Dino would surprise her.


    "Surprise for my dear wife." Dino caressed his wife''s cheek.


    A man approached the two of them, carrying a guitar before singing a song. He''s the singer Sheila prepared to entertain the two of them. Dino and Rere sat at their table, enjoying the song.

    (Romantic Story- Glen Fredly)


    Dino bowed down and held Rere''s hand before he kissed his wife''s palm. A male servant came with a tray containing a ring box. Dino took the box and opened it.


    "Like the lyric earlier, I want our story to be as romantic as the song. Our marriage started from Bara''s pressure. You married me because you were forced and I pushed our marriage on you for the sake of responsibility."


    "Go on?" Rere smiled happily, speechless at what happened.


    "I want to propose to you again and set today as our wedding anniversary. Rere, will you marry me?"


    "I am married, No." Rere smiled shyly.


    "Re." Dino pouted in annoyance. "Please don''t ruin the moment."


    "Okay, dear. Continue." Rere couldn''t hide her happiness.


    "Will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me?"


    "I do," Rere answered quickly.


    Dino smiled happily and put a ring on Rere''s finger. Rere did the same thing and put a wedding ring on Dino''s finger.


    "Thank you, dear," replied Dino, kissing Rere''s forehead.


    "Let''s eat, I am hungry." Rere giggled.


    "Ok, dear."


    They both ate accompanied by acoustic music. After the lunch session ended, Dino asked her to dance.


    "Are you happy, dear?"


    "I am very happy. I never expected to fall in love with you, Re"


    "You''ve been ensnared by the charm of a handsome widower, dear. This widower''s amazing charm must trouble you, dear. You can''t stand the temptation of a widower."


    "You are right, honey. That handsome widower has ensnared my heart. The more I tried to hate him, the deeper my love for him."


    "You lost dear."


    "Yes, I lost. I have fallen to your knees."


    "Love you."


    "Love you more." Rere drew closer to Dino. She tiptoed and kissed her husband''s cheek.


    "I will show you a better one," Dino said as he brushed Rere''s lips with his. Their lips pressed together before Dino started to suck, and kiss Rere''s lips demandingly. Even Rere is not shy anymore as she wrapped her hands around Dino''s waist. Both of them are in love. They share their breath and saliva.


    Rere stopped Dino''s kiss when the man put his tongue in Rere''s mouth.


    "Why did you stop?" Dino seems disappointed. His facial expression turned sour.


    "There are people here. Even though we are husband and wife, I am embarrassed."


    "Then let''s go to our room."


    "Our room?" Rere was confused.


    "Yes, room. I''ve booked a room for us. I want to eat you, baby girl." Dino sulked.


    "I''m not a girl anymore. I have given birth to Leon."


    "I am the one who turns you into a real woman." Dino smiled mischievously.

 Chapter 107 - Dino And Reres First Night 21+

    Dino carried Rere bridal style as he then pressed the card key to open the room. Their room was decorated with red roses on the bed. Dino lowered Rere from his arms.


    "When did you prepare all of this?"


    "I don''t. I tell Sheila and she helps me set it up. Did you like it, honey?"


    "I really like it," replied Rere sensually.


    Dino closed the bedroom window so no one could see them from outside. Dino turned off the light and turned on the bedside light.


    "Why did you turn off the light?"


    "I like when it''s dim." Dino talked teasingly. He took off his shirt to reveal his good body shape which was so tempting to Rere''s eyes.


    Rere pretended to close her eyes in embarrassment.


    "Why did you close your eyes?" Dino laughed in amusement, removing Rere''s hand from her eyes.


    "I am embarrassed."


    "Haven''t you seen it?"


    "When?" Rere pretended to forget.


    "The incident where you only saw me in my underwear. The magical underwear that makes you lose your focus." Dino teased his wife again.


    "How do you know?" Rere is getting embarrassed as her face instantly reddens.


    "Of course. You even dreamed of making love with me."


    "What?" Rere was even more shocked. "When did you know about it?"


    "On our wedding night." Dino couldn''t hide his laughter.


    "You cheated." Rere pinched Dino''s arm.


    "Alright, don''t pinch me anymore." Dino helped Rere take off her dress leaving only her panty and bra. Rere crossed her arms over her breast in embarrassment.


    "Why did you hide it?" Dino stroked Rere''s cheek.


    "I am embarrassed." Rere hid her face in Dino''s chest.


    Dino could see his wife''s beautiful body. Her body is very smooth and white. Dino stroked his wife''s hair then down to her neck and then to her shoulders. His hands touched Rere''s smooth back and unhooked his wife''s bra. Her stomach is very smooth and there are no stretch marks that are usually found in a woman who has given birth. Dino almost stops breathing seeing the beauty of his wife''s body. The man crazily can''t wait to unite their body and enjoy their intimacy as husband and wife. Dino wants to make Rere his complete wife.


    "There''s no need to be embarrassed." Dino held Rere''s hand as the girl tried to hide her two plump breasts.


    "Dino," Rere squeaked softly.


    "This is what we should do." Dino kissed Rere''s forehead.


    Dino cupped Rere''s cheeks with both hands then attacked her with a demanding hot kiss. Dino licked Rere''s lips even though his wife was flustered about what happened. Rere didn''t expect to get such a fierce and hot attack from the start.


    "Dino, Stop being so fierce...," Rere shouted when their lips finally parted. Both of them were out of breath because of Dino''s great technique in kissing.


    Rere needed time and realized that Dino demanded more. Of course, a kiss is not enough, Dino wanted more than this. Rere kept pace with her husband''s move. Rere almost staggered if Dino didn''t grab her waist. Dino''s desire was too great and made Rere flustered. Dino knew his passion was extraordinary, especially since they were newlyweds and intoxicated with love.


    Dino kissed his wife''s lips again and started to play with their entangled tongue. Dino demanded more since he wanted to fulfill all his desires. Rere was out of breath, as Dino retracted his lips. Rere almost chokes because of what Dino did. Dino looked at Rere with a perverted grin. They breathe in unison. Dino tried to catch his breath which felt uncomfortable as he ran out of breath.


    Rere¡­I want more! Dino muttered.


    Dino grabbed Rere''s body and caressed her cheek. Dino took Rere''s sweet lips again. The kiss this time was undemanding. Dino took off his pants and Rere''s panties so they both were fully naked. Dino laid Rere on the bed and pressed his wife''s body with his, giving kisses on his wife''s body. Rere closed her eyes as Dino''s lips adored and pampered her body.


    Dino squeezing his wife''s plump breast. It was not too big, but also not too small. He can cup her breast with one hand. Dino then started to go for the core of his wife''s body. He lowered his head on her core and his tongue started to caressed and pampered Rere. The woman squeezed the bedsheet tightly as her mind was going crazy.


    "Ahh¡­.," Rere cannot control the moaning since Dino was very good at foreplay. The man is an experienced lover. Rere felt like she had flown into another world. Dino''s touch is so intoxicating and soothing. Rere is carried away and enjoys Dino''s play.


    "Dino," said Rere breathlessly.


    Dino started to move his finger inside his wife''s folds. Rere was shocked when the fingers indulged her and made her feel like she was thrown into the world of fairy tales.


    Rere''s eyes widened as she was too surprised and froze for a second. She was shocked at Dino''s play that was out of her expectation. The man''s fantasy is so wild when making love. Rere breathed heavily as Dino''s touch spread throughout her body. The feeling is getting more intoxicating. Rere closed her eyes, enjoying every touch in her body.


    The man covered her lips with a passionate kiss. He sucked deeply as his tongue entered Rere''s mouth. He licking all of Rere''s teeth and sucked his wife''s tongue deeply. Rere groaned, feeling a strange tingle in her body. It feels hot and stifling.


    Rere reflexively held Dino''s hand as the man squeezed her chest. Rere couldn''t hold back the outburst of passion that was getting more intense every second.


    "Dino." Rere squeezed Dino''s hair as Dino''s fingers started to tease her again. She felt tickles but also pleasure from the touch. She cannot describe That feeling. Her heart thumped at her husband''s play.


    "Ahhhh," Rere screamed breathlessly. She felt Dino''s fingers enter her body. Rere is getting crazier as Dino moves his finger in and out, giving her extraordinary pleasure.


    Dino is getting wild and naughty when he sees her wife scream loudly from the pleasure. Dino felt his fingers getting wet after Rere reached the peak of pleasure.


    "How is it?" Dino smiled in satisfaction because he successfully made her reach an orgasm.


    Rere couldn''t hide her embarrassment as she covered her face with a pillow. She couldn''t bear to look at Dino''s face.


    Dino stopped what he was doing to observe Rere''s expression after getting such treatment from him. Rere''s face flushed with an anxious expression. Rere''s bulging chest was so seductive as he got down and kissed her breast. The woman squealed as Dino''s mouth pressed against her breast.


    Rere was restless and started to move anxiously. Dino stopped his mouth that plays with Rere''s breast and unites their body in one strong thrust.


    "Slow down," Rere whispered, hitting Dino''s chest.


    "Re?" Dino was surprised when he felt his wife''s entrance was so tight like a virgin.


    "What is it?"


    "Why is it so tight?"


    "Tight?" Rere did not understand her husband''s words.


    "It''s so narrow. Hard to get in."


    "Is it too big," replied Rere frankly.


    "You," Dino blushed. He tried to enter her body with difficulty. Dino did it slowly so that Rere wouldn''t be in pain. The man was amazed, even though Rere was not a virgin and had given birth but her inside still gave him a strong squeeze.


    He moved so fast as Rere moaned and grabbed his hair. The man''s movements were getting rougher, but Rere felt more pleasure as a warm and hot sensation hit her.


    Rere tried to hold Dino''s hand when his movements were getting wilder. Her body flinched as Dino''s thrust got faster and stronger.


    "Ahhhh." Rere felt the warm sensation getting intense as the sweat dripped from her body.


    Rere took a breath to compensate for the tension. Until finally a tremendous relief finally escaped, throwing her into a world that is so comfortable and indulgent.


    Dino lowered his tempo to give Rere room to breathe, enjoying a wave of satisfaction for a few moments. Then Dino''s move gradually got wilder. He groaned as he felt his member getting squeezed and devoured. Dino squeezed Rere''s chest tightly then kissed it, left marks everywhere. Dino continued to trust insides Rere until she hissed in satisfaction. The man smiled contentedly as his sweaty body lay on top of Rere''s body.


    Dino saw Rere breathe a sigh of relief. The woman stroked his hair while wiping her husband''s sweat. They rested for a while before both of them fell asleep.


    Dino started to savor Rere''s body as soon as he woke up. Rere also woke up from her sleep. Making love with his wife made Dino addicted.


    Rere''s hand directly stroked Dino''s hard member and massaged it like a professional therapist. Her hand moves up and down skillfully. Dino growled with pleasure as he closed his eyes. Rere''s hand is really dangerous since it can easily set his body on fire. Rere is a fast learner.


    Rere smirked, watching the perverts of Masimo, the Italian Mafia, was worth it in the end

 Chapter 108 - Still First Night 21+

    Dino lowered his tempo to give Rere room to breathe, enjoying a wave of satisfaction for a few moments. Then Dino''s move gradually got wilder. He groaned as he felt his member getting squeezed and devoured. Dino squeezed Rere''s chest tightly then kissed it, left marks everywhere. Dino continued to trust insides Rere until she hissed in satisfaction. The man smiled contentedly as his sweaty body lay on top of Rere''s body.


    Dino saw Rere breathe a sigh of relief. The woman stroked his hair while wiping her husband''s sweat. They rested for a while before both of them fell asleep.


    Dino started to savor Rere''s body as soon as he woke up. Rere also woke up from her sleep. Making love with his wife made Dino addicted.


    Rere''s hand directly stroked Dino''s hard member and massaged it like a professional therapist. Her hand moves up and down skillfully. Dino growled with pleasure as he closed his eyes. Rere''s hand is really dangerous since it can easily set his body on fire. Rere is a fast learner.


    Rere smirked, watching the perverts of Masimo, the Italian Mafia, was worth it in the end.


    Do not stop, honey, keep going. Dino''s perverted soul struggled as he turned Rere''s body and then pressed her. Without warning, Dino inserted his member into Rere''s body.


    Rere let out a long moan as Dino ripped apart her body, giving her body a tingling feeling. She closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasure Dino gave her.


    Dino caressed Rere''s face then down to the neck. Dino traced her body that already belonged to him. Rere''s body belongs to him. He has all of her including her heart.


    Rere squirmed restlessly as she felt Dino''s hard member enter her body. Dino''s movement made Rere panic and restless in a burning love. Dino continued to move his body back and forth, sometimes his movement getting slower, sometimes he''s getting rough. Rere didn''t complain when Dino entered her body roughly. Looks like Rere likes rough play. It looks more challenging and enjoyable.


    Dino thrust on Rere''s body continuously. He took a sip of Rere''s lips and neck. The man left traces on his wife''s body on purpose, which was to let Rere know how vicious her husband is in bed.


    They both breathlessly enjoyed the union. Dino covered Rere''s mouth with his mouth while moaning loudly.


    "Ah...." Rere''s moans grew louder. She is very wild when making love and it seems like Rere can serve her husband until the man is satisfied.


    Dino is like a traveler in the desert who will quench his thirst when he found water. Dino also felt the same way when Rere had allowed him to touch her.


    Enduring long enough, Dino didn''t give Rere a chance to breathe. Dino continued to lunge at her. Don''t look down on the strength of a widower because he has the experience and knows how to make a woman gasp for air.


    On one occasion Rere changed their position and started to lead the game. Rere moves skilfully with her sexy body. Dino liked the way Rere wanted it. Dino likes the naughty and aggressive Rere. Both of them wanted this.


    Dino moved his hand restlessly behind his back as Rere''s move got wilder. Dino stared and enjoyed Rere''s way of pampering and seeking pleasure from his body. He didn''t blink his eyes as he looked at Rere intensely. Her movements became more sensual. Dino gives Rere a chance to dominate their play. The man wanted to see how far his wife could go in making love. Dino likes calm women that maintain their image like Rere but will be completely different when serving their husband in bed. Dino was amazed to see his wife because she was already proficient even though this was their second time making love.


    "How could you be so good at this, honey?"


    "I learned this from the Masimo movie," replied Rere innocently without stopping her movements.


    "Massimo?"


    "Yes, Masimo. The movie is about an Italian mafia who kidnaps the girl he likes."


    "Semi porn movie?"


    "It is porn." Rere couldn''t help but laugh.


    "No wonder you''re moving like a pro." Dino stroked Rere''s waist and then went up to squeeze his wife''s chest.


    Dino kept pace with Rere''s play without wanting to dominate. He let Rere on top of him until she gets her release. A groan escaped Dino''s mouth as the feeling got near and Rere''s body gripped his member so tightly, making him speechless. Her squeezes are indulgent and comforting. He felt a warm feeling when their two bodies collided.


    The delightful tickle is too unsettling. Rere continued to rub their lower bodies without any intention of stopping. Rere closed her eyes, sighed softly when she felt the pleasure. She gasped in surprise when Dino turned down her body. Switch their positions.


    Dino sucked his wife''s chest while stroking other parts of Rere''s body. The man''s hand was touching every part of Rere''s body. The naughty touch was intoxicating. Rere squirmed uncomfortably as the touch grew more ticklish. She wanted to stop but she loves the pleasure. Dino''s hand rubbed Rere''s stomach then down to her thigh. His touch on the inner thigh lingered there for a while. Rere blinked again when Dino''s fingers pampered her. Rere''s breath hitched as he pushed his fingers inside her body.


    Rere grabbed Dino''s arm. Dino''s caress was very soft, but it made her feel immense pleasure. She deliberately grabbed Dino''s arm to make the caress stronger. She loves it a little rough since the pleasure will increase.


    Dino removed his fingers from Rere''s body, making Rere''s face show disappointment. Dino saw the hopeful face, waiting to be satisfied.


    Dino smiled at his wife''s disappointed face. He slowly approached her and brought their lips together. Rere returned the kiss with a burning passion. After that Dino put his erect shaft in Rere''s heat. The two of them put their bodies back together. Dino moved slowly, giving Rere a chance to adjust to him. Rere wrapped her arms around Dino''s neck. Staring at her husband affectionately and asking him to start the play. She did not want to be tormented by passion.


    Dino got carried away. He squeezed his wife''s chest when the pounding in Rere''s body went crazy. The heat was so indulgent and made him lose his sanity. Dino pressed his body down there firmly, wanting to merge into one with Rere. He wasn''t in a hurry since he wanted to feel every inch of Rere''s grip on his member. When they did it slowly the level of pleasure increases since he could feel the grip getting more tighter and more indulgent.


    "Did you like it?" Dino whispered softly in Rere''s ear.


    "I love it. It is intoxicating," Rere replied with a smile.


    "Ah¡­," Rere moaned as Dino thrust, getting harder and faster. She felt her body getting hot. Rere started sweating, feeling her husband''s play. Her breath was ragged.


    Dino''s move is getting crazier as he shoves his body inside Rere''s body. The scene was getting hotter. Rere reached for her husband''s waist so their bodies can be tightly knit together. The two groaned at the same time as the feeling came, relaxing and calming.


    Dino blinked. The man opened his eyes. Due to their long passionate time together, he was exhausted and fell asleep after making love. The blanket still covered his body when he woke up. Dino pulled the blanket up to his waist. The man smiled sweetly when he remembered their making love session. Dino glanced at Rere who was still asleep next to him. The blanket still wrapped Rere''s beautiful body up to her chest.


    Dino got up from the bed and put on his underwear. He sat on the edge of the bed staring at his wife who was fast asleep. Dino never thought that Rere would give him his rights as a husband so soon. Dino blushed, remembering the moment he touched Rere. The man pounded Rere like a man who hadn''t seen a woman for a long time.


    Dino has touched, caressed, and kissed every single part of Rere''s body. He gives every inch of her skin an intoxication and indulgence touch. Dino even left a mark of ownership in Rere''s sensitive area. The man smiled brightly when he saw the kiss mark on Rere''s plump breasts. His lips spontaneously formed the work of art that can only be understood by husband and wife.


    The spoiled and selfish Rere merge into one with him. There is no more shame and embarrassment. Rere is so spoiled and always wanted to be close to him. Dino loves a spoiled woman that always depends on him. He hopes their relationship is getting better and romantic in the future. Dino promised to always make Rere happy.


    Dino''s eyes staring at Rere''s innocent face. The woman''s beauty was radiant even in her sleep. She sleeps like an innocent baby. Living in a wealthy family and always getting what she wants makes Rere very spoiled but also strong at the same time. It is easier for her to empathize with others. Sometimes, she only thinks about other happiness without thinking about her own happiness. During these few years, Rere had sacrificed a lot for others including Dino.

 Chapter 109 - First Happiness

    Dino can''t imagine what would happen to him that night if Rere wasn''t there. His business and good reputation would be damaged. His family will be ashamed of the scandal. Dino stroked Rere''s smooth face.


    Dino did not forget to thank his wife after the union, "Thank you, my beautiful wife. I love you so much."


    Rere blinked. His eyes slowly opened. Surprised when she found Dino was staring at her with a smile. Suddenly, Rere gets embarrassed. Her face turned red as she remembered the passionate moment they shared a few hours ago. Rere sat abruptly, didn''t realizing that the blanket covering her body fell down. Dino could clearly see the two alluring hills. Dino looked at her with a smile. The look in Dino''s eyes seemed to ignite the burning passion in her heart.


    Rere smiled then looked closely at her husband''s face. Dino looks even more handsome when he wakes up and his sturdy body is attractive.


    "Ha...¡­." Rere sulked as she covered herself inside the blanket.


    "Why did you hide?" Dino approached her.


    "I am embarrassed. We are naked."


    "Why are you embarrassed? I''ve seen everything and even touched every inch of your skin."


    "Dino." Rere sulked. Her face turned red when she recalled the moment Dino''s hand caressed her body affectionately.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Stop being so vulgar."


    "It should be normal for a married couple. Get used to it from now on. We''ll be making love a lot later."


    "Language!"


    "Why?"


    "Don''t be so direct, No. I''m embarrassed."


    Dino removed the blanket that wrapped Rere''s body and found Rere curled up on the bed. The smooth back is so tempting. Dino started his naughty move as his hand caressed her gently.


    "Dino." Rere was shocked.


    "What''s wrong, dear?"


    "Flirty."


    "It''s okay since someone was being more seductive before. she changes our position like a pro." Dino teased his wife. His lips never stop smiling.


    "Dino," Rere squealed, laughing as she pinched her husband''s stomach.


    "Yes, dear?" Dino pouted his lips wanting to kiss Rere''s lips.


    "Naughty." Rere covered her lips with her palm. As a result, Dino could only kiss her hand.


    "Let''s take a shower. My body is sticky."


    "I don''t want to." Rere shook her head. The moment was very thrilling and romantic.


    "Let''s take a shower together," Dino said as he suddenly carried Rere in a bridal style.


    "I Don''t want to. We will waste a lot of time there." Rere laughed while hitting Dino''s chest playfully.


    Dino lowered Rere in the bathtub. The man turns on the water to fill the bathtub. The man put the soap creating foam that covered Rere''s body.


    Dino took off his pants and joined Rere inside the tub. He wanted to take a bath with his wife.


    The man washed their hair. Dino even helped scrub Rere''s body which was sticky with sweat. After that, the man asked Rere to rub his back.


    "I do not want to," Rere spoke in a spoiled tone. After expressing her feelings the woman began to act spoiled with him.


    "Come on," replied Dino, pouting.


    "Okay." Rere finally wanted to rub her husband''s body.


    First, Rere rubbed Dino''s back and hands. After that Dino asked her to rub his chest.


    "Rere. Rub it down," teased Dino, glancing down at his stomach.


    "Okay." Rere innocently followed Dino''s request.


    "Awww." Rere flinched when she accidentally touched Dino''s hard member.


    "Why?" Dino giggled.


    "Don''t act so innocent."


    "Why is it getting hard?" Rere pouted.


    "It is your job to make it relaxed."


    "I don''t want to. My body is sore."


    Dino splashed water on Rere''s face. The man sat Rere on his lap. Rere tried to move away but Dino hugged him tightly.


    "Dino."


    "Yes, dear."


    "Let''s quickly finish the bath."


    "Okay." Dino reversed their position.


    Dino made Rere helpless. Rere moaned even louder than before. Her moan burned Dino''s passion even more.


    "Dino. Don''t be fierce," Rere begs seductively. Not that she doesn''t like it. She''s was only pretending. Rere likes it when Dino is vicious. She really liked and longed for Dino''s ferocity.


    An hour later...¡­.


    Rere and Dino came out of the bathroom. Rere''s hands were pale from playing in the water for too long. Dino wrapped a towel around his waist and Rere wrapped the towel around her chest.


    "You are naughty," Rere whispered, pinching her husband''s arm.


    "You like my mischief, don''t you?" Dino approached her and hugged his wife. They both laughed happily as if the world only belonged to the two of them.


    "It''s 10 o''clock at night." Rere was shocked when she looked at the clock on the wall. They have not even had dinner at all. They spend time in the room making love.


    The ringing of the phone diverts their attention. Dino smiled, noticing it was a video call from Hanin.


    "My baby girl must be missing me." Dino slides the green button on the screen. He asked Rere to sit on the sofa with him. Unknowingly they are still wearing towels and not fully dressed.


    *****


    Hanin''s eyes widened when she saw Dino and Rere.


    "Why both of you didn''t wear clothes?" Hanin asked innocently, which shocked their extended family.


    Everyone was gathered in the family room. Bara and Dila smiled seductively and looked at the smartphone screen.


    "Stop the video call, No," Rere reflexively presses the red button. She freaked out and rushed to put on her clothes.


    Rere pinches Dino''s arm forcefully when both of them are fully dressed.


    "Why did you always pinching me?" Dino smiled watching his wife.


    "It is embarrassing. How could I face them without getting flustered?"


    "Just act normally." Dino pointed at Rere''s face.


    "No." Rere sulked.


    "What?" Dino fed Rere with a piece of sausage.


    Rere chewed the sausage with pouty lips. "This is embarrassing. They must be laughing at us. You should wear your clothes first before answering Hanin''s video call.


    Dino''s smartphone rang again. Hanin called him again.


    "Good evening, dear," Dino greeted kindly looking at his beautiful daughter''s face. Leon was also greeting him.


    "Hi, Dad," Hanin answered lazily. "Why did you cut off my call?"


    Rere stammered, hinting Dino not to speak about it. Dino scratched his head as he remembered what happened. He was confused about how to explain it to Hanin.


    "The signal was bad, dear," Dino replied, grinning.


    "Really?" Hanin couldn''t believe Dino''s words.


    "Yes, dear. Hi, dad''s handsome boy," Dino greeted Leon.


    "Dad, I miss mommy. Give mommy back. Where''s mommy?" Leon sulked.


    "Hey, Mommy''s boy." Rere waved at her son. She hasn''t seen her son in a few days. They had never been apart before.


    "When are you coming home? Miss you."


    "After dad gets better, son." Dino grabbed Rere''s waist.


    "Dino," Rere whispered exasperatedly. She was embarrassed since Hanin was there.


    "Don''t disturb your dad and mommy for a while, kid." Bara suddenly appeared in front of the camera.


    "Bara." Rere was startled. Unaware that she was hugging Dino tightly.


    "Why are you surprised?" Bara grinning.


    "I am not." Rere lied to him.


    "Looks like someone''s blooming. Love has blossomed between them." Bara teased his sister. He wanted to make fun of Rere. It was Bara who asked Hanin to call Dino. Bara wants to tease his sister.


    "Stop it!" Rere pretended to be angry with her brother.


    "There is a new loving bird here." Bara sticking out his tongue.


    "How many rounds is it, No? I think a loving doctor will heal you quickly."


    "Let''s talk about it off the screen later, Bar ." Dino laughed mockingly at his wife.


    "Dino." Rere hit Dino''s chest.


    Dino even hugged Rere tightly.


    "Wow¡­ You stuck together like two peas in a pod. Leon''s sibling is coming." Dila also commented. Bara and Dila are happy to see that Dino and Rere''s relationship has improved.


    "What are you talking about?" Rere is getting embarrassed. Her face was flushed red.


    "We''re glad to see your relationship improved. I hope you guys last and get along."


    "Don''t go home yet. Just enjoy your honeymoon with Dino." Bara teasing again.


    "What the hell?" Rere is getting annoyed. "I already miss Hanin and Leon."


    "Just let go of your longing for Dino. You can go home after you are satisfied."


    "What are you talking about?" Rere was embarrassed as she cut off the call.


    "Why did you turn it off, honey?" Dino moved Rere to his lap and hugged her.


    "Your brother-in-law keeps teasing me." Rere is annoyed. She was so embarrassed. She used to reject Dino strongly and now she has become a slave of his love.


    "Isn''t that your brother?"


    "Whatever." Rere dodged her husband''s question.


    "Let''s eat, Rere. After that, we will go home."


    "We didn''t stay here?"


    "Let''s just stay at home and continue our burning passion." Dino winked.


    "Naughty." Rere turned around and pinched her husband''s stomach.


    "Don''t you like it when I''m being naughty?" Dino touched Rere''s chest and squeezed it.


    "Dino." Rere sulked.


    The two of them feed each other. After they finished their dinner, they checked out of the hotel.

 Chapter 110 - Second Happiness

    "Let''s just stay at home and continue our burning passion." Dino winked.


    "Naughty." Rere turned around and pinched her husband''s stomach.


    "Don''t you like it when I''m being naughty?" Dino touched Rere''s chest and squeezed it.


    "Dino." Rere sulked.


    The two of them feed each other. After they finished their dinner, they checked out of the hotel.


    The two held hands as if they didn''t want to be separated. They looked at each other in silence and smiled.


    "Thank you, mommy," Dino said as he drove back.


    "Why did you call me mommy?"


    "Because you are the mother of my children." Dino winked his eyes.


    Rere''s face turned red. Dino made her blush again.


    "Yes, dad. I will call you dad because you are the father of my children."


    "I hope you can be a good mother to Hanin and Leon. I want you to treat them equally. Don''t differentiate them, Re." Dino kissed Rere''s hand.


    "Sorry for my attitude yesterday, No. I vent my frustration on Hanin. Sorry for being rude to you. I will be a good wife from now on. I will be a good mother to Hanin and Leon. Sorry to make you wait until I realized my feelings."


    "Late is better than never."


    "That''s right dad. I love you." Rere teased her husband. She stroked Dino''s thigh as her hand wanted to reach Dino''s member.


    Dino smiled at his wife''s naughty move. Realize that Rere was teasing him.


    "I will give you a lesson when we get home."


    "No, thanks.  I''m tired. I want to sleep."


    "Then why did you tease me?"


    "Because I like it." Rere laughed showing her white teeth.


    "Naughty."


    "Don''t you like it when I''m being naughty?"


    Reyhan followed Rere and Dino to their house. He parked his car a bit far from Dino''s house. He was watching the two of them as he saw Dino open the car door for Rere. Dino carried Rere into the house.


    Reyhan will take revenge on Dino. Reyhan was paid to kill Rere. People who paid him want Rere to disappear, destroying Dino again, and make him stay at the lowest point in his life.


    "You can have fun for now, but after this, a storm will destroy your household, Dino Putra Chaniago. You will never be happy. You don''t deserve to be happy because you have robbed other people of happiness."


    Reyhan was paid by someone to kill Rere. The person who paid for it asked Reyhan to destroy the second marriage first. After the marriage was destroyed Reyhan was ordered to kill Rere. The pay was so big that Reyhan himself also took part in this scheme. Reyhan is a professional hitman. He has killed a lot of people. Reyhan is a cold-blooded killer that has no compassion for his victim. He won''t hesitate to kill whether it is a woman or children. Reyhan had killed one family. He kills without even let a baby live.


    Reyhan could have killed Rere in one shot but the client didn''t want Rere to die easily. He wanted to hurt Dino slowly and make the man unable to breathe and decided to end his own life.


    "I don''t care what happened between you and my client. Just enjoy this temporary happiness before I take it all. You seem to really love your wife. Get ready to be a widower for the second time. Dino Putra Chaniago." Reyhan''s eyes shone as he looked at Dino''s house. The man left after his observation was over.


    Rere was well-dressed as she had prepared two suitcases for their vocation to the villa. Dino asked Rere to go there for their honeymoon. Rere is very beautiful wearing a t-shirt from the brand ''Gacca''. She combines the shirt with a knee-length short. Dino invites her on an adventure in the villa near a tropical forest.


    Tom opened the Alphard door for Rere and Dino as both of them step inside the car and sat side by side. Tom is Dino''s confidant. The man has multiple jobs which are as an assistant, bodyguard, and driver for Dino. Tom has worked for Dino since he was young. It''s been fifteen years since he started to work with Dino.


    Tom blushed when he saw the boss and his wife. He never saw Dino this happy after Ananya''s death. Dino finally finds his love again. Tom was happy that he could see his boss smile again.


    Tom drives the car at a moderate speed. The man gulped when he saw Dino and Rere''s affectionateness. Tom''s single soul is troubled seeing the two of them. Of course he was jealous of his boss''s romance since Tom hasn''t found his soulmate yet. Tom was four years younger than Dino. Thirty-five years old and yet to find a soulmate.


    "Where are we going?" Rere sulked. Wrapped her arms around Dino''s waist. She ignored Tom''s anxious suffering earlier.


    "Let''s go anywhere as long as I am with you." Dino smoothed Rere''s bangs. "Your bangs are getting long. You need to trim it short again."


    "I''ll trim it when I go back to Jakarta."


    "You want to go back to Jakarta?"


    "Of course, I need to go home. Have you forgotten about our children there?"


    "How could I ever forget them."


    "Don''t you dare to forget about me!" Rere punched Dino''s stomach lightly.


    "Why did you really like violence?"


    "That''s how I show my affection."


    "Love is not violent."


    "I like it HARD, sweetheart?" Rere laughed teasingly at her husband.


    "What''s it, dear?" Dino plays along. Fortunately, Tom did not hear them since he was too busy to drive.


    "I like it HARD since it was so ... good," Rere said ambiguously.


    Rere and Dino were busy teasing each other that they just realized they arrived in the villa when the car stop. Tom opened the door and pulled out their suitcases. Rere was amazed to see the natural view of the villa. The flowers are blooming. There is a tropical forest behind the villa that Rere can hear animal sounds from the room.


    "Boss. I will go first. You can call me if something comes up."


    "Thanks, Tom." Dino embraced Rere.


    Rere and Dino entered the villa. They book the whole villa so there will be no other guests besides them. Dino wanted to spend his time with Rere intimately without other people''s distractions.


    "what will we do now?" Rere wrapped her arms around Dino''s neck. They stood on the balcony of the room looking out over the forest and mountain views. The birds fly to form a colony.


    "What do you want?" Dino teased Rere back. He brought his face closer and rub Rere''s nose against his nose.


    "What kind of honeymoon are you preparing for me, No?"


    "Definitely a memorable honeymoon and one you can''t forget."


    "I''m curious." Rere acted spoiled.


    "Want some dessert?"


    "What? Dessert?"


    Dino glanced at the bed. Rere also glances in the same direction.


    "Naughty." Rere scolded her husband after understanding the man''s hint. "No. I want to go for a walk first."


    "Change your clothes then. We''ll go around since there are lakes, plantations, and rivers."


    "This place is very beautiful. While studying in KL, I have never had a vacation here."


    "Are you studying or traveling?"


    "Both. It''s great studying here. Living alone with Tia. I can go clubbing and spend time together with friends."


    "It turned out, you can be naughty too, Re."


    "It is okay to be naughty when we are younger. I''m on vacation to release stress from mom."


    "Why is that?"


    "I am the only child of my late father and mother. Since my father died, my mother has taken care of the company with my uncle. When I was an adult, my mother asked me to take care of the company. My mom is tired and wants to rest. It''s not her passion to be an entrepreneur. Now, my mother can breathe a sigh of relief because Bara is willing to take care of the company. I was pressured by the demands of being the sole heir to the family. I fled to KL just to relax. Mother hasn''t demanded anything from me since she married Bara''s father. My stepfather can overcome my mother''s stubborn attitude. I''m lucky to have such a good stepfather and stepbrother."


    "Thank goodness you are surrounded by good people." Dino stroked his wife''s head.


    Rere and Dino changed into more casual clothes. They ride bicycles around the villa. Dino hanged the camera around his neck. They want to create a memory of their holiday.


    "Dear, Stop," Dino shouting at Rere. They are quite far apart.


    "What?" Rere stopped her bike.


    "Let''s take a photo first. The flowers are blooming." Dino pointed at the sunflowers that were blooming. The yellow color of sunflowers is pleasing to the eye.


    Rere and Dino took a selfie together.


    "Get closer to me, how could you stand so far away," Dino asked in a spoiled manner.


    Rere hugged Dino so tightly that their bodies were pressed against each other. They both smiled at the camera. The floral backgrounds make their photos turn out very beautiful.

 Chapter 111 - Dont Want To Lose 21+

    Rere and Dino took a selfie together.


    "Get closer to me, how could you stand so far away," Dino asked in a spoiled manner.


    Rere hugged Dino so tightly that their bodies were pressed against each other. They both smiled at the camera. The floral backgrounds make their photos turn out very beautiful.


    "Lovely photos." Dino took a photo as his lips landed on his wife''s cheek.


    "That''s not too intimate."


    "Do you have another idea?" Dino put his hand on his hips.


    "This is it." Rere kissed Dino''s lips and took a selfie with her phone.


    Dino was stunned when he realized Rere''s bold move. It turned out that his wife was very aggressive and flirtatious. Dino was amazed that he didn''t expect a spoiled and arrogant girl like Rere to be so sweet.


    Dino carried his wife in bridal style. Both of their eyes clash. Staring at each other. Their eyes are sparkled with blooming love.


    "Sweet smile." Rere brought her face closer to Dino as she took another photo. Rere immediately uploaded her photo of Dino carrying her in bridal style on social media.


    The comment section on Rere social media is getting crowded because of the photo.


    (Wow .....Rere has started revealing her husband''s identity) Rere''s schoolmate commented.


    (Did you upload it by mistake, Ma''am?) Tia wrote a sarcastic comment.


    ( Pretending to be shy but very aggressive in real life. What an unstable child) Bara also commented.


    (I am glad to see you guys being this passionate. Hopefully Dino junior will be launched soon). Dila commented.


    (Mom, let''s go on another honeymoon. The triple wants a sibling) Bara tagged his wife.


    (Don''t be crazy. Stop typing nonsense) Dila replied to her husband''s comment on Rere and Dino''s photo.


    While Rere and Dino were laughing happily, a heartbroken man was crying when looking at her posts on social media.


    "You are so cruel, Re. I never thought that you would do this to me." Angga cried, looking at the photo of Dino and Rere.


    ******


    Dila leaned back on the bed. Smiling after reading Bara''s comments on Rere''s social media. She smiled happily. Her husband is crazy and insane at teasing his sister.


    Dila was relieved. Finally, Rere opened his heart to Dino. Dila was sure that Rere would be a good wife and mother for Hanin and Leon.


    "Finally, love comes between you two." Dila smiled, looking at the photo of Dino and Rere. Dino carried Rere in bridal style. Rere''s hand was hanging around Dino''s neck.


    Bara finished taking a shower. As usual, the man only wore boxers. It is Bara''s habit to sleep without any clothes on. Dila was so busy with her cellphone that she didn''t realize Bara had climbed into bed.


    Bara approached Dila and hugged her waist. His hands were touching his wife''s body.


    "You surprised me, dad." Dila patted Bara''s hand since the man startled her. Dila calls Bara as dad to familiarize her children. She was afraid the children would follow her and also called Bara by name. Bara also calls Dila as mom.


    "You didn''t even notice me. What are you thinking, mom?" Bara embraced Dila. His eyes radiate love. Although they have been married for a long time and already have three children, their love kept growing and continued to blossom.


    "Sorry," Dila squeaked shyly.


    "Why don''t you wear sexy pajamas, honey?" Bara whispered in Dila''s ear while stroking Dila''s arm, which was exposed because she was wearing revealing clothes.


    "What for?" Dila stroked Bara''s cheek and pulled her husband''s sideburns.


    "Mom is getting naughtier, huh? Dad wants to get his revenge."


    "You can pull out my armpit hair." Dila jokes showing her white armpits to her husband. Her armpit was smooth without a hair. Dila frequently goes to treatment to remove her armpit hair.


    Bara smiled before kissing his wife''s armpit.


    "What are you doing?" Dila pinched Bara''s arm.


    "I am mimicking deodorant commercials." Bara laughed out loud and then spoke again, "I like all parts of my wife''s body."


    "Tell me something you don''t like about me, baby?"


    "There is nothing." Bara shook his head. "I like everything. Both your shortcoming and your weakness. No, my wife is the best wife in the world."


    "Of course. You only have one wife."


    "Why do I need so many wives? There will be just us forever." Bara hugged and kissed his wife''s forehead.


    "Cut the crap." Dila squeezed her husband''s stomach.


    "You need to move your hand lower than that, mom." Bara glanced mischievously at his stomach.


    "Naughty."


    "We''re both naughty, dear. The triplet is the result of our mischief."


    "You are crazy." Dila patted her forehead.


    "I am always crazy whenever you are near, dear," Bara teased again. "What were you looking at before? You even ignore me and stare at the phone?"


    "I saw Rere''s post. There''s a silver lining that the thief broke into Dino''s office."


    "What kind of silver lining?"


    "If Dino hadn''t been hurt, maybe Rere wouldn''t have realized her feelings for Dino. Look at them." Dila showed their photo and continued, "They must have expressed their feelings for each other. Rere didn''t even hesitate or be embarrassed to hug Dino. Looks like they''re on their honeymoon. I guarantee it." Dila spoke softly in Bara''s ear.


    "Oh, I see." Bara nods, smiling slyly.


    Bara approached Dila and hugged her waist. His hands moved around, trying to touch every part of his wife''s body. No part of Dila''s body escaped his touch.


    "Don''t be naughty, dad," Dila blushed. He smiled shyly. "We did it yesterday. How could we do that every day?"


    "Your fault for seducing me."


    "Appa," Dila screamed softly when Bara was on top of her body. They looked at each other. Bara''s head went down to Dila''s neck and gave her a kiss.


    Bara approached Dila and they kissed passionately. The sound of their lips pressed together, sucking, and tasting each other echoed inside the room. They are immersed in love. Bara bit Dila''s lips because he was too excited.


    Bara''s hands move on Dila''s body. He caressed Dila''s face, then down to his wife''s twin hills. At first, Bara''s touch was full of tenderness, but after a while, it became more passionate. He played on Dila''s breast until his wife moaned in pleasure.


    Bara took off her clothes one by one. He didn''t forget to take off Dila''s panties, making Dila totally naked. He really wanted to eat Dila tonight. Bara then kissed Dila''s forehead, her eyelids, both cheeks, and finally Dila''s luscious lips gently. They exchange saliva.


    Dila could not contain the burning desire in her body. She also caressed Bara''s hairy chest and kissed her husband''s lips. Dila kissed Bara''s lips for a long time, which had become an addiction to her. The tip of her tongue traced her husband''s lips and stuck her tongue in Bara''s mouth. They kissed passionately. A burning desire was entering their souls. Bara kissed Dila''s lips gently, biting her warmly.


    Bara took over the game. It was his turn to kiss Dila''s lips, the kiss went down to her neck, and then he kissed both of Dila''s breasts and sucked them like a big hungry baby.


    His mouth was busy sucking his wife''s breasts while the other hand touched the other breast. Dila was completely immersed in Bara''s play. Bara''s moving tongue in her breasts made her shiver. She felt that he was in the seventh heaven enjoying the passion that churned in her body. Dila sighed because she was hit by the fire of passion. Unknowingly Dila lifted her body and trembled. Bara is very good at pampering her.


    Bara smiled in satisfaction to see his wife climax because of his play. Then Bara continued his action. His mouth was tracing Dila''s stomach and then down. He kissed his wife''s thighs then his lips landed on Dila''s femininity.


    Dila screamed again as Bara played around in the center of her core. Dila''s body was getting hotter. She wanted more. Her body shook violently. She was panting hard. Bara continued his action to explore the deepest parts of Dila''s body until his wife''s body shook and limp.


    Bara positioned his body between Dila''s thighs. Then he got straight to the heart of the game. Slowly but surely, Bara brought their bodies together. He hissed, enjoying the game. The two of them raced in a burning passion of love. Dila reversed Bara''s position. They changed positions.


    Dila stroked Bara''s chest and looked at him meaningfully. She kissed her husband''s chest as her eyes glanced at Bara. Bara moaned softly, enjoying Dila''s kiss on her chest. Dila did it on instinct. Bara smacked his wife''s lips again and chewed them like candy, not wanting to let go. Bara was exasperated with his wife''s slow movement. Without saying anything, Bara ambushed Dila''s lips. He attacked Dila blindly with tenderness. Dila groaned, getting another attack of pleasure. Bara''s hands were tracing every inch of Dila''s body. Mapping Dila''s body in his hands. Dila surrendered to the passion.

 Chapter 112 - Bara And Dila

    Bara''s lips kissed every inch of his wife''s body. He squeezed and sucked Dila''s plump breast.


    "It''s ticklish, dad," Dila screamed while pressing her husband''s manhood firmly. Dila raved, unable to contain the passion that Bara gave.


    Bara paused for a moment to stare at his wife. Dila''s eyes were already clouded with passion and ready to be fertilized. Bara brought his face closer to Dila''s. There is no distance between them.


    They could feel each other''s breath. Bara was unable to contain the passion that had hit him. He caught his wife''s lips and got a reply. Bara stroked Dila''s breasts, feeling satisfied because his wife kissed him back.


    Bara hugged Dila, resting his head on Dila''s chest for comfort. It was quiet and comfortable. Dila is the core of his heart. Only Dila could make him look like an idiot.


    Dila babbled as Bara''s fingers sank in the center of her body in place of his manhood. Strange vibrations and tingles engulfed her body. Bara evoked a hot turmoil in his wife''s body. He understood how to pamper his wife.


    Bara''s fingers traced every inch of Dila''s body. His three fingers were playing on his wife''s femininity.


    Dila''s sigh of pleasure filled the room. Bara''s lips traced down to her neck, chest, tummy, and continued moving down. Not a single part of her body escaped Bara''s kiss.


    "Dear." Bara hugged Dila from behind. In one swift motion, he moved his wife and stabbed her from the back.


    "Ah¡­..Ah¡­" Dila sighed, holding back the pain and pleasure. There was a different sensation when the husband did it that way. That was Bara''s favorite position.


    Bara held his wife''s body and pushed his body to move quicker. The two of them moaned in ecstasy. Bara''s movements and rhythms are rough and raw. Dila seemed to soar into the seventh heaven for the continuous wave of enjoyment. Bara jerked and released his seed inside Dila''s body. His body shook violently. His body weakened after he let go of what he should have let go.


    Bara and Dila are bathing in the bath up. The two of them soaked without any feeling of awkwardness and nervousness. Bara even soaped his wife.


    "You have tremendous strength. Aren''t you tired? We make love every day." Dila protested when Bara soaped her body. "You make me shower frequently."


    "It''s your own fault for being sexy and seductive."


    "You are the one at fault. You will definitely be tempted by me even if I am wearing the most unsexy clothes." Dila protested against her husband.


    "We can''t lose to Dino and Rere. The widower must have enjoyed their honeymoon for sure."


    "Fool." Dila laughed.


    "Fool?"


    "You flirty fool."


    Bara soaped Dila and lingered on his wife''s breast. Dila hit Bara''s hand because she realized that her husband was teasing her.


    "Don''t be naughty, dad. I don''t want to do it anymore."


    "Let''s do that to get you pregnant again."


    "I can''t get pregnant if we do that every day. Your sperm is not healthy. If you want me to get pregnant again, we should make a schedule. Let''s do that three times a week."


    "I can''t, Dil. You are an addiction and a stress reliever for me." Bara kissed Dila''s bare shoulder.


    "Flirty." She stroked her husband''s cheek.


    "Isn''t three children enough?"


    "No, it was not enough."


    Dila''s expression changed. Her face was sullen.


    "I want two or three more. After that, the factory closed and was no longer produced."


    "Okay then, the production process will stop now, right?" Dila teases Bara.


    "How could it be, mom? The production will go on, but we are using contraception." Bara was exasperated then stroked Dila''s thigh.


    "Dad, you hand, please," Dila protested through gritted teeth.


    "It is hard to control my hands when we are this close. I want to touch you all the time."


    Bara whispered tenderly in his wife''s ear, "How about doing the second round here?"


    Dila''s eyes widened in disbelief that Bara was asking for the second round. Her body was still tired and weak from the previous session, now Bara is asking for more. Dila couldn''t control Bara when her husband''s fingers stroked and longed for her body. Bara''s fingers ambushed her womanhood.


    Dila moaned and her body convulsed from Bara''s intimate treatment. It is undeniable that his passion is burning again and exploding. Bara lifted Dila''s body and took her to the shower.


    Bara turned on the hot shower so they wouldn''t get cold. Dila''s hands were raised above her head, and her body was propped against the wall. Bara lifted Dila''s leg and put it on his waist. In one gentle thrust, they reunited.


    Dila rambled about the breathtaking sensation under the shower. She thought it was just a setting in an adult movie, but they did it now. The thrill is very different from making love in bed. A married couple needs to change styles and places, so they don''t get bored. They spent a long time in the bathroom filling and satisfying each other. They spent almost two hours in the bathroom.


    The husband and wife''s passion subsided. They returned to the room. Bara romantically carried his wife to the bed and put her to sleep.


    They only wore kimonos and were not dressed properly. Bara also took a position beside Dila and hugged his wife tightly.


    "Great morning," grumbled Bara, satisfied looking at his wife''s exhausted face. His cell phone suddenly rang. He immediately picked it up.


    "What''s wrong, Dian?" Bara asked, surprised by the call.


    "Where are you, boss?"


    "Still at home. Where else."


    "Rere''s uncle created another problem, boss. He held a GMS (General meeting of shareholders)."


    "Uncle Luffy?" Bara made sure.


    "Who else?"


    "He hated you for taking over Rere''s companies. It''s time for Rere to manage her family''s mall and hotel. Lutfi wants to rule everything."


    "If he messes up, just kill him, Dian."


    "Boss, didn''t we promise not to get our hands dirty?"


    "We will do it if we have to. I''ve never had the desire to take Rere''s wealth. I don''t want to give up the company to him because I know his bad intentions. I just want to protect Rere and mother''s wealth. If I don''t take care of the company. Lutfi will take it and drive Rere and mother from the company."


    "It is time for Rere to handle everything. You had to force her, boss. If Rere doesn''t want to, we can persuade Dino to manage the company. Dino is Rere''s husband. He has the right to take care of his wife''s company. Dino is the owner of an advertising company. He''s suitable for managing Rere''s company."


    "Dino''s company isn''t small either, Dian. He would


    reject it since the location of both companies is very far away from each other."


    "Money brings headache. No money also brings headache, boss."


    "It''s called life. I will think of a way to deal with Lutfi. If he messes up, I won''t hesitate to finish him off."


    "That''s the report for today, boss."


    "Thank you."


    *****


    "Dino!" Rere screamed in fright when Dino fell into the abyss.


    A car drove so fast when they were cycling that Dino couldn''t keep his balance and fell into a valley. Rere moved down to where Dino was. Luckily, the valley wasn''t too deep. Dino''s bicycle was broken into several pieces.


    "Are you okay?" Rere helped her husband up.


    Dino held his waist, which hurt from the fall.


    "Can you stand?"


    "I''ll try." Dino grimaced as he grabbed Rere''s hand to help him stand up.


    Rere embraced her husband. Dino''s right hand was wrapped around her shoulder as she led Dino to walk.


    "Are you really okay?" Rere''s eyes glazed over. Her cries got louder when he saw the wound on Dino''s hand. Her arm was scratched by a wooden branch until it bled.


    "I am really okay, Re."


    "No, you are not. You are bleeding."


    "Dear. I am okay. Don''t be fussy anymore. We''ll return to the villa. I want to take a rest. My body is sore."


    Rere and Dino climbed up slowly. Someone approached them and helped Dino up.


    "Sorry. I didn''t mean to do that." Reyhan pulled Dino''s hand.


    "Why are you apologizing?" Rere was curt.


    "I drove so fast that I made your husband fall down."


    "Next time, be careful when you drive. Don''t you see that my husband was hurt from your carelessness?" Rere was furious. Her eyes gleamed with anger.


    "I was wrong," Reyhan spoke softly. "I have a reason to speed up like that."


    "Rere," Dino called his wife. Dino didn''t want Rere to be angry because his condition was not severe.


    "I''m fine. You can go."


    "I don''t feel good if I just leave after hurting you. Where do you guys live? Let me take you there."


    "No need. We will be back with a bicycle." Rere was still annoyed, so she was rude and unfriendly.


    "Re." Dino stroked his wife''s arm.


    Rere sulked in a spoiled manner.


    "You won''t be able to take me with you. Let him help us," Dino pointed at Reyhan.


    "Rehan," The man smiled sweetly at Dino.

 Chapter 113 - Reyhans Attack

    "Dino!" Rere screamed in fright when Dino fell into the abyss.


    A car drove so fast when they were cycling that Dino couldn''t keep his balance and fell into a valley. Rere moved down to where Dino was. Luckily, the valley wasn''t too deep. Dino''s bicycle was broken into several pieces.


    "Are you okay?" Rere helped her husband up.


    Dino held his waist, which hurt from the fall.


    "Can you stand?"


    "I''ll try." Dino grimaced as he grabbed Rere''s hand to help him stand up.


    Rere embraced her husband. Dino''s right hand was wrapped around her shoulder as she led Dino to walk.


    "Are you really okay?" Rere''s eyes glazed over. Her cries got louder when he saw the wound on Dino''s hand. Her arm was scratched by a wooden branch until it bled.


    "I am really okay, Re."


    "No, you are not. You are bleeding."


    "Dear. I am okay. Don''t be fussy anymore. We''ll return to the villa. I want to take a rest. My body is sore."


    Rere and Dino climbed up slowly. Someone approached them and helped Dino up.


    "Sorry. I didn''t mean to do that." Reyhan pulled Dino''s hand.


    "Why are you apologizing?" Rere was curt.


    "I drove so fast that I made your husband fall down."


    "Next time, be careful when you drive. Don''t you see that my husband was hurt from your carelessness?" Rere was furious. Her eyes gleamed with anger.


    "I was wrong," Reyhan spoke softly. "I have a reason to speed up like that."


    "Rere," Dino called his wife. Dino didn''t want Rere to be angry because his condition was not severe.


    "I''m fine. You can go."


    "I don''t feel good if I just leave after hurting you. Where do you guys live? Let me take you there."


    "No need. We will be back with a bicycle." Rere was still annoyed, so she was rude and unfriendly.


    "Re." Dino stroked his wife''s arm.


    Rere sulked in a spoiled manner.


    "You won''t be able to take me with you. Let him help us," Dino pointed at Reyhan.


    "Rehan," The man smiled sweetly at Dino.


    "Reyhan wants to be responsible. Let him take us to the villa."


    "But," Rere pouted.


    "It does not matter." Reyhan is holding a bicycle. The man took Rere''s bicycle, folded it, and put it in the trunk.


    "I''m sorry that I hurt your husband." Reyhan looked at Dino and Rere from the rearview mirror.


    "It''s okay. It is just a small wound." Dino commented with a smile.


    Rere overreacted as she blew Dino''s wound, so it wouldn''t hurt.


    "What a stroke of bad luck! We have just started to enjoy our vacation." Rere chattered as she glared at Reyhan.


    "Sorry for my mistake. I didn''t expect this to happen. I was so disappointed and hurt that today my ex-girlfriend left me and married someone else. We have been dating for a long time. We met five years ago. I helped her to pay the tuition. After she graduated and worked in a bonafide place. She cheated with her boss. They married without my knowledge. I am very hurt when I know this. I know men shouldn''t cry, but I just can''t endure it anymore." Reyhan acted well as if he was a victim of his vicious ex-girlfriend.


    Rere and Dino looked at each other. Still in a comfortable position. Rere hugged Dino.


    "I am sorry for your suffering. Betrayal was painful. As a man, I understand your feelings. But you can''t give up on everything. Even if your ex-girlfriend is married to another man. The world will not stop spinning. Being cheated on means that the woman is not your soul mate. She''s not the best for you. You should be patient until the angel that God has prepared for you comes."


    "You could harm other people. You shouldn''t drive so fast even if you are brokenhearted. There will be no problem if you are the only victim. What if you hurt someone?" Rere furiously scolded Reyhan.


    "Rere. You can''t talk like that." Reprimand Dino.


    "Your wife should be angry with me. I was wrong." Reyhan admits his mistake.


    "Your name?" Dino asked again. He had forgotten that Reyhan had introduced himself.


    "Rehan. You?"


    "Dino. This is Rere, My wife."


    "Nice to meet you. Are you on your honeymoon?"


    "You can say that," Dino smiled while blowing the wound on his elbow.


    "New bride?"


    "We already have two children," Rere replied quickly.


    Dino smiled in relief when seeing Rere admit that they had two children. A sense of relief and warmth ran through the man''s heart when the confession came out of Rere''s mouth.


    "Wow¡­.I thought you were a newlywed. You guys are so sweet and romantic."


    "Thanks for the compliment," Rere replied fiercely. She was still furious at the man.


    "That''s enough, darling. I am okay." Dino stroked Rere''s back, asking his wife to be patient.


    They have reached the villa. Rere helped Dino get out of the car. Reyhan took Rere''s bicycle out from the trunk.


    "Thank you for taking us back," said Dino with a friendly smile.


    "I''m sorry. Because of me, you are hurt." Reyhan pointed at Dino''s wound.


    "I am okay. It will heal later."


    "Dino, let''s go inside." Rere embraced Dino and took her husband inside the room.


    Rere took warm water and then rinsed Dino''s wound. She used some antiseptic on Dino''s wounds.


    Rere wanted to take off Dino''s clothes, but the man stopped her.


    "What''s wrong?" Rere was surprised by Dino''s refusal.


    "Why are you taking my clothes off? My waist is sore. I can''t make love right now," Dino teased his wife.


    "Your dirty mind," Rere flicked her husband''s forehead. "I want to see if there is a wound or not. Stop being nonsense."


    Dino raised his hand so Rere could easily take off his clothes. Rere checked Dino''s back. There are only minor injuries. Rere cleaned the wound. She lowered Dino''s pants because he saw a wound near his butt.


    "What''s wrong, dear? Your hands are so naughty," Dino again teased his wife.


    "Stop teasing me." Rere sulked. Her true spoiled nature is no longer hidden. Rere shows her true self that is spoiled and a little childish.


    "You''re adorable when you''re angry, honey," Dino poked Rere''s cheek.


    "Stop it," Rere''s face turned red.


    "Thank you for worrying about me," Dino kissed Rere''s cheek briefly and then broke the kiss.


    "You never let go of every opportunity."


    "I am, dear."


    "Does your body hurt?"


    "Yeah, a little. It''s a bit sore."


    "Want me to massage you?"


    "I''d love to," replied Dino excitedly.


    Rere asked Dino to lay on his stomach. She took the hand body and rubbed it on Dino''s back. Deliberately using it to make Dinos'' back slippery and easy to massage. Rere''s hands are so skilled at massaging her husband. Dino almost fell asleep because Rere''s massage was so good.


    "I think you are ready to open a special spa."


    "Special spa?"


    "Spa for adults. I will be the only customer, dear."


    "The price is exorbitant." Rere teased her husband.


    "I am ready to pay for it."


    "One billion for a massage session," replied Rere jokingly.


    Dino turned around and asked Rere to take off his pants. Rere was confused, not understanding her husband''s signal.


    "What is it?"


    "Massage for adults, dear. I''m waiting for it." Dino winked.


    "Dino," whispered Rere, annoyed, and pinched her husband''s stomach.


    "Awwwwww," Dino shrieked with a laugh. He was pretending to be sick to tease his wife.


    Dino and Rere were lying on the bed after Rere treated Dino''s wounds. They ate and then slept. Rere got out of bed and grabbed her phone. Bara just called her through a video call.


    Dino blinked. He woke up from his sleep when he heard the ringing of Rere''s cell phone. He just stares at Rere.


    "What''s the matter?" Rere yawned from sleepiness. She was sleepy since she was still tired.


    "Can you put on your clothes first? I know you are on your honeymoon. Is your husband okay with that?" Bara teased his sister.


    Dino smiled shyly. He gave a night robe to his wife. Rere hastily put on her night robe to cover her sexy body.


    "That''s great. Dino will be angry with me if I see his wife''s sexy figure." Bara couldn''t hide his laughter.


    "You really like teasing me." Rere saw Bara sitting with Tia and Dian.


    "I''ve always liked to tease you. Sorry to disturb both of you. You must love to spend your time inside the room. Every time you are on the phone, you are always in the room."


    "Aren''t you the same, Bar?" Dino interrupted his brother-in-law''s words.


    "Why did you call? I''m sure something important has happened since Teteh Dian and Tia are with you. What happened?" Rere could see the three''s tense expressions through the screen.


    "Re, you have to go back to Jakarta. Then fly to Surabaya," Bara said.


    "What happened?"


    "Something troublesome happened."


    "What is it?"


    "We can talk about it later when you''re in Jakarta."


    "Dino will be back with you," Dian spoke up.


    "Why?" Dino was surprised.

 Chapter 114 - Rere Must Come Back

    "Re, you have to go back to Jakarta. Then fly to Surabaya," Bara said.


    "What happened?"


    "Something troublesome happened."


    "What is it?"


    "We can talk about it later when you''re in Jakarta."


    "Dino will be back with you," Dian spoke up.


    "Why?" Dino was surprised.


    "You''re Rere''s husband. You should have known." Bara said mysteriously.


    "What''s the situation?" Rere felt a bad hunch since Bara didn''t want to talk on the phone.


    "Just come back to Jakarta on the first flight. It''s urgent."


    "Why should I come?" Dino still didn''t understand why he needed to go back with Rere.


    "You have to come because you are Rere''s husband. I am not in charge of Rere anymore, but you. This problem cannot be postponed."


    "Okay. We''ll be back tomorrow." Dino answered quickly. After that Bara turned off the phone.


    "Why did you say you''re going back tomorrow? You are still hurt." Rere stroked Dino''s cheek.


    "Re, someone like Bara can''t possibly tell us to go back without serious matter. He asked me to come home too, which means there''s a serious problem."


    "Does this have anything to do with our kids?"


    "I don''t think it''s about the kids. If it''s about Leon and Hanin, Dila will definitely tell us. There are also Dian and Tia."


    "It must have something to do with the company."


    "Maybe."


    "I remember."


    "Remember what?" Dino cut off his wife''s words.


    "Tia once told me to come home soon. He said there was a problem at my company."


    "What is the problem? Which company? Doesn''t Bara manage it in Jakarta?"


    "No. I have several hotels and malls under a company in Surabaya."


    "Wow¡­.It turns out that my wife is very rich." Dino even sneered. "Both of us manage our own company. Can we be called a Crazy Rich couple?"


    "Cimeeh (Don''t make fun of me)," Rere speaks in Minang.


    "Since when can you speak Minang?" Dino was amazed to hear his wife speak Minang.


    "Since my mother remarried, I have been learning Minang a little bit. Bara would talk in Minang with dad. "


    "Bangga uda punya bini mode adiak. Alah rancak, kamek molen, santiang lo lai (I am proud to have a wife like you. Beautiful, sweet, also smart)," Dino speaks in Minang.


    "Harus banggalah uda. Kama ka uda cari bini rancak mode adiak. Ndak ka adoh uda tamuan di tampek lain doh. (You have to be proud. Where do you want to find a wife like me? You won''t find a wife like me anywhere else)."


    "You''re fluent in Minang. The accent was on point." Dino gave two thumbs up to his wife.


    "Thank you, my dear husband."


    "We have to pack up, Re. I''ll have Sheila book tickets for both of us. I will call Tom to pick us up tomorrow."


    "Okay." Rere rushed to tidy up their clothes.


    An hour later¡­..


    Tom came to pick them up at the villa. The two got into the car. Dino and Rere were still curious about what Bara would discuss when they arrived in Jakarta.


    They went straight to the airport. Dino decided to take the last plane. Tom was also with them on this flight. Tom had prepared a car that they will use while in Jakarta. The car is already on standby at Soetta airport.


    Dino, Rere. and Tom sat in first class. Since it was late at night, Rere decided to sleep. Rere was sleeping while hugging Dino. One of her legs wrapped around Dino''s waist. Tom was forced to see the loving bird with envy. Dino is not feeling well. He is taking the blanket to cover his body with Rere. They both laid down, hugging each other.


    Dino and Rere had arrived home after a three-hours flight. When they arrived everyone was asleep except for Herman and Ainil. They welcomed the two of them.


    "Mother," said Dino to Ainil. The man shook hands with his mother-in-law. After that he greeted Herman.


    "You came in the middle of the night. Why don''t you take an early flight tomorrow? You look really tired." Ainil commented.


    "We decided to come here directly. Bara called us and told us to go home." Rere said.


    "You have to rest first. We''ll talk tomorrow." Herman asked his daughter and son-in-law to rest.


    "Tom will be sleeping in the guest room." Ainil glanced at Dino''s assistant.


    "Thank you, ma''am," Tom said in Indonesian fluently.


    "You''re welcome."


    Rere and Dino entered their room. Rere decided to take a shower because it was very hot.


    "Why did you take a shower at night, honey?" Dino hugged Rere from behind. His wife only wrapped a towel around her body.


    "I am sweating. My body is all sticky. Don''t you want to take a shower?"


    "Help me take a bath, pretty."


    "Flirty."


    "It''s okay to be flirty with my own wife." Dino stole a kiss from his wife. Dino kissed Rere''s right cheek.


    "What a seductress." Rere laughed amusedly. "I thought you were shy."


    "I was embarrassed to approach you before. Now there''s no point in being shy. It will cause another loss." Dino stole another kiss. He kissed the left cheek.


    "Dino." Rere sulked. As usual, she acted like a spoiled child to her husband. "Let''s see our children,"


    "Let''s go."


    Rere took Dino''s hand and took him to the children''s room. Their rooms link with the children''s room. They saw a very beautiful sight when they opened the door. Hanin slept while hugging Leon. Since she was still a baby, Dila taught Hanin to sleep in her own room. She can take care of her brother now. While living in KL with Dila. Hanin helped Dila take care of the triplets. Hanin matures faster than children her age.


    "What an adorable sight. Hanin is very smart. Dila said that Hanin can persuade her brother when Leon refuses to eat."


    "Is Leon okay?" Dino was curious.


    "A child''s refusal to eat usually occurs in infants aged 6 months and more. One of the causes is teething."


    "Oh, I see. I don''t understand those. When Hanin was little, I was too busy working so I didn''t know the children''s development. Likewise when Ananya died. I''m getting further away from her. I began to pay attention to Hanin after Dila came to our family. That little girl needs a father figure."


    "You have become a good father. Your closeness to Hanin is extraordinary. The triplets were also close to you. To them, you are still their father."


    "Thanks to Dila anyway. If she doesn''t fuss, maybe I''ll be busy with work and forget about the kids."


    "Just watch out if you behave like that with Hanin and Leon." Rere pinched her husband''s stomach.


    Dino gave Rere a kiss on the lips. He sucked and played with his wife''s lips.


    Dino laughed amused as he broke the kiss.


    "Naughty." Rere pinched Dino''s stomach again.


    Dino didn''t want to lose. The man kissed his wife''s lips again. Rere closed her eyes, enjoying Dino''s kiss.


    "Naughty." Rere laughed amusedly.


    "One pinch means one kiss."


    Dino kissed Rere''s lips briefly.


    "I haven''t pinched you, why are you kissing me?"


    "I just want to."


    Dino was about to kiss Rere again but Rere stopped him.


    "Stop. Then the kids will see us. We''re still in their room."


    Dino chuckled, "I forgot."


    Dino and Rere walked towards Hanin and Leon''s bed. They both kissed the kids'' foreheads in turn.


    "Good night dad''s children."


    "Good night Mommy''s children."


    The two of them immediately left the children''s room. Rere took off the towel and put on her pajamas. It was no longer awkward to change clothes in front of Dino even though they had only confessed their love for a few days.


    Dino swallowed his saliva when he saw his wife changing clothes. For some reason, looking at Rere''s body always tempt Dino''s rationality. Dino got up to start seducing his wife, but Rere had read his movements.


    "Let''s sleep. It''s late." Rere pulled the blanket and covered herself. She turned off the main light and turned on the bedside light.


    "You realize I want to seduce you?" Dino giggled.


    "Of course." Ree closed her eyes. She smiled because she managed to tease her husband.


    "Okay." Dino came closer and hugged Rere tightly.


    "Good night, my dear wife," continued Dino in a shrill voice.


    "Good evening my dear husband. Sleep."


    Rere and Dino blinked. The two of them opened their eyes when they felt their bodies being crushed. Both of them were shocked when Hanin and Leon got up. Hanin was on top of Dino, while Leon was on top of Rere.


    "Dear Hanin." Dino got up and hugged his daughter.


    "Leon." Rere also hugged Leon.


    "Let''s hug together." Dino invites his little family to a big hug.


    "We are like the Teletubbies," Hanin commented.


    "We are a happy family," Rere said happily. The four of them hug happily.


    "Dad and aunty are not fighting anymore?" Hani looked suspicious.


    "Mommy dear, not Auntie." Dino corrected Hanin''s words.


    "Don''t want to call Mommy yet. Aunt Rere must qualify to be called a Mommy." Hanin looks grumpy.


    "Mommy has to pass to be Hanin''s mommy." Leon looked at Rere with his arms crossed.


    "^______^" Rere was at a loss for words.

 Chapter 115 - Back To Company

    Dino and Rere went down to breakfast with their two children. The family welcomed them with open arms. Bara and Dila couldn''t hide their happiness when they saw Rere and Dino holding hands. The dining room was suddenly felt packed since Shaka, Shakel, Salsa, Hanin, and Leon were excited about their food.


    "Our house is more hectic than usual." Ainil smiled happily at Herman.


    "Our grandchildren are all gathered." Herman is grateful that in his old age he can gather with his wife, children, son and daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.


    "Shaka, Shakel stop fighting," Dila warned her two sons for fighting over food. Shaka and Shakel never got along. They always fight over toys and food.


    "Akel started it," Shaka didn''t want to get the blame.


    "Akha started." Shakel defended himself.


    "You guys are always fighting. How many times did I remind you not to fight," Bara was strict with his two sons.


    "Dad, help us." Shaka and Shakel turned to Dino.


    "Akel, Akha, you are brothers, twins, don''t fight all the time. Remember that food is delicious only up to the throat. It will become dirt after that. It is useless If the toy is broken. Remember, your brotherhood must be above all. You shouldn''t fight over a trivial matter."


    "Okay, dad."


    "Let''s eat. Remember what I said." Dino looked at Shaka and Shakel.


    Shaka shared the pastry with Shakel. Both of them liked the pastry and fought over the last one. Dino always teaches Shaka and Shakel to share. The whole family was amazed and fascinated by the way Dino raised the twins. Dino also teaches them to always give in to Salsa, the youngest one. She was apart one hour to Shakel. Shaka and Shakel were only different by fifteen minutes.


    "Wow. They listen to you." Rere praised her husband.


    "Where have you been all this time, Re?" Bara even sneered at Rere.


    "Dino," Rere looked at her husband in a pampered manner.


    "It doesn''t suit you, Re. Remember that you already have children." Bara teased Rere again.


    "Don''t be jealous." Rere was annoyed and pinched Bara''s arm.


    "Re, Bara, stop it. Both of you are like cats and dogs."


    Dila just shook her head slowly seeing the behavior of Rere and her husband. Everyone then continues their meal.


    Bara then invites Herman, Ainil, Dino, Rere, and Dila to gather in his office.


    "What do you want to talk about, Bar?" Ainil was curious about the topic that Bara would discuss. The atmosphere in the library was a little tense.


    "Okay, since we''ve all gathered here. I''ll just get to the point." Bara looked at her family members in turn. He saw the tension on Ainil and Rere''s faces.


    "You can start, bar," Ainil''s hands trembled. She held Herman''s hand tightly.


    "Yesterday, Uncle Lutfi held a GMS. He wants to depose me as the temporary CEO in place of Rere."


    "That shameless bastards," Ainil got angry and cursed his brother-in-law.


    "Calm down." Herman calmed his wife.


    "Uncle Lutfi is not happy because I am managing the entire company. I will give him this position if he doesn''t have bad intentions."


    "Since Rere''s father died, he tried to take the company. We were fooled. If I didn''t marry your father, we might live on the streets now. Lutfi was shameless. He should be grateful that he can still work at the company, but he is so greedy. He thought the company was a family legacy. Rere''s father worked hard to build the company from scratch. The company is purely owned by Rere''s father which he got after we got married. Lutfi wants to control everything because he feels he deserved it."


    "What shameless bastards," Rere got angry. "Then what is the decision of the GMS?"


    "Decision was postponed since they are waiting for you. I also get reports that hotels in Surabaya are experiencing a decline in turnover. The guests were suddenly deserted even though our hotel was the best and most luxurious in Surabaya. Something went wrong with the hotel management. There are also many irregularities in the financial statements of the mall in Surabaya. The mall is always busy but profits are decreasing. Tia, Dian, and I are investigating it. We will fly to Surabaya to solve the company problem. Honestly, I can''t manage many companies. It''s not that I don''t want to, but my presence in the company only brings a polemic. My status as mother''s stepson is in question."


    "I believe in you, Bara. I asked you to take care of the company because I know your ability."


    "The company is deteriorating. It''s better if Rere started to work in her rightful position." Dila talked.


    "Work? Me?" Rere pointed to herself. "I can''t. I know nothing. Let Bara take care of it."


    "Bara can''t, Re. My husband is only your step brother. Uncle Lutfi was threatened with Bara''s presence. He does not accept outsiders managing the family company. He feels more entitled to the position." Dila tried to reason.


    "I have no expertise in that area. Let Bang Bara manage the company."


    "I can''t, Rere. I can''t manage many companies. Honestly, I can''t deal with Uncle Lutfi. Not that I''m afraid with him, but I am afraid of losing control," Bara said coldly. His face was dark.


    Everyone was silent and did not comment on Bara''s words. All of them know Bara''s nature. The man is very dangerous when angry.


    "You shouldn''t have said that," Dila warned her husband. Dila hopes that Bara''s terrifying attitude will disappear.


    "Sorry, I didn''t mean to interfere." Dila looked at everyone in turn.


    "We''re family, Dila. You can voice your opinion." Ainil looked at her daughter-in-law.


    "I think Bara''s presence in Rere''s company has caused a controversy. Bara is only a stepson, making Uncle Lutfi feels more entitled to lead the company since he is the younger brother of Rere''s father. Uncle Lutfi feels his position is threatened. Rere should be the one to sit in the position. Uncle Lutfi has been working for a long time since the company was founded. He felt neglected and ignored. There is a sense of jealousy and envy towards Bara."


    "Uncle Lutfi is shameless. In the past, he embezzled company funds. We let him go in consideration of his wife and children. He actually wanted to own the company. He''s been falsifying financial statements since dad died. We who know nothing are fooled." Rere talked. She got angry since Uncle Lutfi was always creating trouble.


    "Relax." Dino calmed his wife down.


    "I can''t. He is too greedy."


    "There is no other way, Re. I can no longer manage the company. You have to take the position. I can help from the back."


    "I can''t. Working in a company is not my passion. I beg you. Don''t mind uncle Lutfi. He wanted to have company for himself."


    "I can''t, Re."


    "Why? You don''t care about me anymore?" Rere pushed Bara.


    "Answer me! Why can''t you help me? You don''t love me anymore?" Rere was crying hysterically.


    "The situation has changed, Re. If I don''t love you, I would just leave your company and let it get destroyed in Uncle Lutfi''s hand." Bara was angry. He vented his anger. Dila approached her husband and rubbed his chest, trying to calm him.


    Dino also acted the same. He approached Rere and calmed her. He gave Rere a glass of water.


    "May I speak?" Dino looked at the whole family.


    "Just talk, No," Herman spoke up. Herman couldn''t say much because he felt he had no right in Rere and Ainil''s company. He married Ainil to get a partner, not to pursue her wealth.


    "So, Rere owns several hotels and malls. Rere is the sole heir. So far, the company is managed by Bara, but Uncle Lutfi does not like Bara to manage the company because Bara is an outsider. Uncle Lutfi feels that he should be the one to lead the company because he is the younger brother of Rere''s father." Dino confirmed.


    "Right," Bara spoke more softly.


    "Rere, can I talk?" Dino looked at his wife. Rere nodded.


    "Bara was right. Although you trust Bara to manage the company, Bara''s position is not strong because he is only your stepson. I''m not defending Bara, but Bara was so busy all this time. He is not an amoeba that can split up and lead all the company."


    Everyone was smiling and laughing when Dino said ''Bara is not an amoeba that can split up''.


    "Why are you laughing? What''s so funny?" Dino asked innocently.


    "I''m not an amoeba," Bara said in the midst of his laughter.


    "It was just a parable."


    "I think Rere should be the one to lead the company. She should know how to manage it because she''s the real owner. It''s funny if a company owner can''t manage her own company. Tomorrow the GMS will be held again. I think, as a veteran in the company, Uncle Lutfi can influence the board of commissioners to kick Bara out. We can''t let that happen. Rere must be present at the GMS. You have to show them who the boss is and show your ability to manage a company."

 Chapter 116 - GMS ( 1 )

    Why should? It''s not that I don''t want to, but it might cause a new controversy within the company," said Dino during a pillow talk with Rere.


    "If not you, who else? Do I still have another choice?"


    Dino was silent. Unable to reply to his wife''s words.


    "Why do you trust me so much?" Dino wanted to know what was in Rere''s heart.


    "You are my husband. That''s why I believe in you. You are a responsible and good man. I was the one who was blind all this time."


    "I''m flattered that you trusted me." Dino hugged Rere. The woman rested her head on Dino''s chest.


    "You are the father of my child. Leon is the one to bind our relationship. How could I not believe you? Bara can no longer help us. He is an outsider to Uncle Lutfi. I''m still a novice in the company. If you come forward, they can''t dodge and refuse."


    "Are you sure?" Dino still couldn''t believe that Rere had so much trust in him.


    "Of course."


    "In that case, I will help you until you can be independent. After that, I will not interfere in hotel and mall management anymore."


    "I''m a housewife. I just want to stay at home, spending all of your money." Rere hugged Dino in a spoiled manner.


    "How did you do that? Your money alone will not run out." Dino pinched Rere''s cheek.


    "I will only spend all your money. I will save all my money for our children."


    "I agree with you. Just spend all my money, honey." Dino caressed Rere''s cheek then pushed Rere down on the bed.


    "What are you doing?" Rere laughed amused at Dino''s attitude.


    "I want to imprison you in my heart."


    "You are getting smarter with your comeback, huh? Where is the calm and shy Dino?"


    "I''m not shy. I''m an aggressive guy who likes to play around, let alone play in bed." Dino spoke in a spoiled and livid tone.


    Rere laughed at her husband''s attitude. She found Dino so cute when he acted this way.


    "Is it true?" Rere stroked Dino''s chest. She even unbuttoned Dino''s pajama buttons one by one to reveal his chest.


    "So you are getting naughty, huh?" Dino giggled in amusement.


    "Stop it. Don''t you like it when I''m being naughty?" Rere became braver and teased Dino more. Her hand caressed her husband''s chest. From the top then down to the bottom. When Rere''s hand was about to caress Dino''s manhood, the man caught Rere''s hand.


    "It''s not that easy to touch it."


    "Then?"


    "Hmmm." Dino pretended to think.


    "Tell me." Rere urged Dino.


    "I have one request."


    "What is it?" Rere was curious about Dino''s request.


    "Can you give me a present if I help you with company matters?"


    "Present?" Rere laughed. "What should I give a crazy rich man like you?" Rere even mocked her husband. "Don''t you already have everything?"


    "Not that kind of present."


    "Then?"


    "Give me two more children as compensation for managing your company."


    "Only that?" Rere smiled brightly.


    "Then let''s make a sister for Hanin and Leon." Dino pounced on Rere. The man took off his pajamas and laid on top of his wife''s body.


    Rere resigned herself to receiving treatment from her husband. She closed her eyes, enjoying Dino''s touch. She felt that Dino''s hands are so indulgent and comforting.


    "Dad and aunty? What are you doing?" Hanin shouted loudly as she emerged from the room with Leon.


    Dino hastily got up from the bed. Both of them were nervous. Dino was so panicked that he fell out of bed. His head hit the floor.


    "Are you okay?" Rere helped her husband up. She also looks panicked.


    "Hanin surprised dad," Dino grumbled, looking at his daughter.


    "Dad, what are you doing on top of Aunt Rere? Aunt Rere must be running out of breath and hurt."


    "Bad dad," Leon replied in a soft voice. He approached Dino and hit his father''s arm.


    "Why did dad get hit?" asked Dino with a blank face.


    "Baba has been mean to Mommy?" Leon put his hands on his hips, showing an angry face.


    "Calm down, Mommy. I will protect Mommy from bad dad."


    Rere couldn''t help but laugh at her children''s innocence. He smiled shyly at Dino.


    "Let''s just sleep here, little brother. I am afraid dad will strangle your Mommy again." Hanin took Leon''s hand and climbed onto the bed. Hanin covered their bodies with a blanket.


    "What are you doing?" Dino was surprised to see his two children.


    "We will sleep here, dad. We want to protect Aunt Rere from you."


    "When did I abuse Mommy?"


    "Just now."


    Dino signaled Rere to take the children to their room. Dino wanted to sleep alone with Rere and then have their third child. Rere even shook her head, disapproving of her husband''s idea. After that, Rere lay on the bed next to Leon. Dino''s plan to have a third child failed. Dino climbed onto the bed, feeling irritated as he slept next to Hanin.


    ****


    Bara, Dian, and Tia were already in the meeting room waiting for the commissioners. They will make decisions about the leader of the company. Lutfi succeeded in inciting the shareholders to expel Bara because he was not entitled to maintain the company.


    "Get ready to be kicked out of this company. The shareholders are on my side." Lutfi spoke impassively.


    "Don''t be too happy. This won''t be easy." Bara smiled mysteriously.


    "How can I not be happy?"


    "Rere will work for the company. She should be the boss."


    "What can that spoiled child do?" Lutfi even insulted Rere.


    "Don''t underestimate her even though she''s a woman."


    "She knows nothing. She could only spend money on shopping. So stupid that she even trusted you to lead the company. You''re just an outsider and have no right to be here, Bar. I am more qualified because I am David''s younger brother."


    Bara just giggled. Feeling sorry and concerned because Lutfi claims that he is more worthy of leading the company.


    "More qualified?" Bara even sneered at Lutfi.


    "Of course."


    "If you feel qualified, why embezzled company funds a few years ago? If I didn''t join the company, maybe you would have drained all of Rere''s and mother''s assets. I won''t let you succeed. Rere and mother are still kind enough to allow you to work here."


    "Stop talking nonsense, Bar." Lutfi pushed Bara against the wall.


    Tia and Dian are shocked to see this turn of events. Dian wanted to come closer to teach Lutfi a lesson, but Bara stopped her. Lutfi grabbed Bara''s collar. Not wanting to lose, Bara even twisted Lutfi''s hand until the man screamed in pain.


    "Don''t feel like you''ve won just yet. You and Rere won''t be able to own this company. I will not give up."


    "Let''s see. Who is the goat and who is the tiger." Bara left in front of Lutfi and sat inside the meeting room.


    The place was still quiet because the shareholders had not yet arrived. The atmosphere became heated as the shareholders entered the room one by one. Their faces tensed as they looked at Bara cynically. There was an aura of hostility in the room. Tia also felt the tense and uncomfortable atmosphere.


    "All the shareholders have arrived. We''d better start the meeting," said Lutfi with an aura of victory. The man smiled at Bara. He was sure because he had received the support of all the shareholders.


    "You can start."


    "We will begin the meeting."


    Lutfi looked at Bara once again. He couldn''t wait to embarrass Bara in this room.


    "As you already know, our company is authorized by Mrs. Ainil and Rere to Aldebaran. As we all know, Aldebaran or Bara here is not related by blood with Rere or Ainil. He is only Ainil''s stepson. He''s just a stranger who doesn''t deserve to lead our company. How can a company of this size be led by an outsider?"


    Bara clenched his fists in anger. If he didn''t remember Dila''s advice, maybe Lutfi would have already lost his life. Bara tried to contain and control his anger.


    "We disagree if this company is led by Bara. You could have the intention to snatch the company from your stepmother. Although he is also a Real Estate entrepreneur, we never know, people''s greed knows no bounds. Don''t the rich want to get richer?" Rusdi, one of the shareholders, began his vote.


    "If the company is still led by Bara, not Rere or Ibu Ainil, we will sell our shares to other companies. The five of us own fifty-five percent of the shares. If we join hands, then we can demote Rere as the leader. I also want to say that I have sold seventeen percent of my shares from the total ownership of twenty-five percent."


    "I also sold my five percent stake," Ananto spoke up.


    "What?" Bara was surprised that the shareholders had conspired against them behind their back. Rere''s stock was only forty -five percent. She has the biggest percentage of the other shareholders before. If all shareholders unite, then Rere''s position will be weak.

 Chapter 117 - GMS ( 2 )

    Bara clenched his fists in anger. If he didn''t remember Dila''s advice, maybe Lutfi would have already lost his life. Bara tried to contain and control his anger.


    "We disagree if this company is led by Bara. You could have the intention to snatch the company from your stepmother. Although he is also a Real Estate entrepreneur, we never know, people''s greed knows no bounds. Don''t the rich want to get richer?" Rusdi, one of the shareholders, began his vote.


    "If the company is still led by Bara, not Rere or Ibu Ainil, we will sell our shares to other companies. The five of us own fifty-five percent of the shares. If we join hands, then we can demote Rere as the leader. I also want to say that I have sold seventeen percent of my shares from the total ownership of twenty-five percent."


    "I also sold my five percent stake," Ananto spoke up.


    "What?" Bara was surprised that the shareholders had conspired against them behind their back. Rere''s stock was only forty -five percent. She has the biggest percentage of the other shareholders before. If all shareholders unite, then Rere''s position will be weak.


    "You guys dare to play behind us?" Bara hit the table because he was angered by this kind of scheme.


    "You''re still too new to play with us." Lutfi looked at him sarcastically. He laughed happily because he managed to kick Bara out.


    "Neither Rere nor Mrs. Ainil was present at this meeting so that we can make a decision if Rere is no longer able to lead the company and this company cannot be assigned to an outsider."


    "Who said I wasn''t coming?" Rere suddenly entered the meeting room with Dino.


    Tia gave a seat to Rere and Dino.


    "Why did you bring a stranger?" Lutfi was not happy with the presence of Rere and Dino.


    "The person you called an outsider is my husband."


    "What? Your husband?" Lutfi sneered.


    "I''m married. I''m sorry I didn''t invite you because I feel like you are not my family."


    "There are still men who want to marry women who are pregnant out of wedlock like you?" Lutfi insulted Rere.


    "Watch your mouth." Dino was furious as he grabbed Lutfi''s collar.


    The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense because Dino didn''t accept his wife being insulted in the meeting room.


    "Hey, young man. Get your hands off me. You don''t know who you''re dealing with."


    "I will not be silent if you dare insult my wife. As a husband, I will stand behind her," Dino looked at Lutfi intimidatingly.


    "I''m sure you married Rere for money too. Nowadays, not only women, but men can also be a gold-digger."


    "Shut your mouth instead of being embarrassed later."


    "Don''t make a fuss. Let''s continue the meeting!"


    "As shareholders, we are very disappointed in Rere and Mrs. Ainil for not being able to manage the company. Moreover, they give power to others to lead this company. This is against the rules."


    "Then what do you want?" Rere even challenged the shareholders.


    "You are not worthy to lead the company. We appointed Lutfi to be the leader." Rusdi looked sarcastically.


    "You can''t. Uncle Lutfi does not have any shares in this company. This is not fair." Rere disagrees. Rere knows that Lutfi has bad intentions. The man wanted to have a company for himself.


    "Why can''t we? We have agreed that you can no longer lead the company." Rusdi intervened again.


    "Haven''t you sold your shares?" Dino spoke up.


    "I indeed sold it, but only seventeen percent." Rusdi looked back at Dino. "Why did you interfere? Even though you are Rere''s husband, you don''t have a stake in the company."


    ''Who said I had nothing to do with it?''


    "Stop joking around, young man," snarled another shareholder.


    "I never mess around." Dino came forward and dictated to Lutfi and all the shareholders.


    "Mr. Rusdi, aren''t you the one who sold the seventeen percent of your shares? Mr. Ananto has also sold a five percent stake."


    "That''s right," they both answered at the same time.


    "Then what''s the problem?" Lutfi underestimated Dino.


    "The shares have become Rere''s."


    "Don''t be crazy." Rusdi laughed heartily.


    "Can you be crazier than this?" Ananto laughed loudly.


    "No, I''m still sane." Dino smiled meaningfully. "Tom, please come in!"


    Tom came into the meeting room with some important papers.


    "Last night, I bought twenty-two percent of the company''s shares from Mr. Rusdi and Mr. Ananto. I gave this stock to Rere because she is my wife. Rere owns forty-five percent of the shares plus twenty-two percent of my shares, which makes Rere owned sixty-seven percent. Rere''s position as the head is very strong and unshakable."


    "Stop dreaming, young man. It wasn''t you who bought our shares last night." Rusdi opened his voice.


    "Tom, show me the agreement of sale," Dino ordered Tom.


    Tom shows the deed of sale and purchase of shares to all of them. All shareholders were in shock and disbelief. They stared at each other with pale faces and shivers.


    "Still cannot believe me? You just signed the letter last night." Dino smiled sweetly at Bara, Dian, and Tia. The three of them gave a thumbs up for Dino.


    "Impossible." Lutfi even rages.


    "This is a scam. I didn''t sell you stock. I''m selling to Malaysian businessmen, not you. I sold it to Dino Putra Chaniago." Ananto did not want to lose.


    "I am Dino Putra Chaniago." Dino was being arrogant. Smiling triumphantly.


    "Impossible!" Rusdi couldn''t believe it. He really lost face


    today.


    "Impossible?" Bust smiled meaningfully. He did not expect Dino to act beyond his expectations and shake the shareholders.


    "Rere is married to a Malaysian businessman named Dino Putra Chaniago. He is one of the richest men in Malaysian. The youngest richest person ever interviewed by Forbes magazine." Tia even introduced Dino. "You can type on google who is Dino Putra Chaniago. You will know who he is."


    Dino and Rere looked at each other. They smiled triumphantly. All the shareholders took their cell phones and typed Dino''s name in the google search engine. They were beyond shocked because they were dealing with one of the richest people in Malaysia. Rusdi and Ananto were silent and could not speak. They lost terribly.


    "I married Rere not because of her wealth since I am one of the richest people in Malaysia." Dino boasted. "One more thing you should know is that I am Leon''s biological father, the child Rere gave birth to."


    Lutfi was shaking and shivering. He didn''t expect Rere to marry a tycoon and he wasn''t an ordinary person either.


    "If you want to sell shares like Mr. Rusdi and Mr. Ananto, then I am ready to buy your shares," said Dino vehemently.


    "In the future, I will work in the company with my husband. You can leave this company, Uncle. You are fired. Never dream of owning this company."


    Lutfi clenched his fists in fury. He was embarrassed.


    "Do not be too happy, yet." Lutfi gave a threat before leaving the meeting room.


    "As you know., I remain the leader and owner of the company. I will work with my husband. I don''t think there''s anything more to discuss and this meeting is over."


    The shareholders left the meeting room feeling irritated and hurt. They did not expect to be skinned by Dino and Rere. They were too overconfident before. They never expected to be embarrassed.


    "Excellent, No." Bara gave a thumbs up.


    "You are amazing, No. No wonder the boss is very eager to make you his brother-in-law." Dian, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.


    "I knew they were going the old-fashioned way, so I ordered Tom to find out who the shareholders were and get our lawyers to lobby."


    "Why didn''t you tell me?" Rere felt deceived.


    "If I tell you, I''m afraid you''ll slip your tongue." Dino held his wife''s hand.


    "An elegant way to humiliate the enemy. Isn''t that right, Dino?" Tia asked Dino.


    "That is how it is."


    "It means that you are obliged to manage this company because you are one of the shareholders."


    "Who knows. I have many companies. I''m doubtful about which one to take care of first." Dino shrugged.


    "Arrogant." Rere pouted her lips.


    "I am not arrogant, but I''m indeed one of the richest people in Malaysia, youngest one at that." Dino prided himself on his wife.


    Bara approached Dino and asked him to sit down.


    "I''m relieved that Rere married the right person." Bara smiled at Dino.


    "It should be, Bar. Rere is my wife and I should have done this."


    "Re, you are lucky to have a husband like Mr. Dino. If it''s not for Mr. Dino, you will be in big trouble now." Tia reminded Rere.


    "Yes, I understand. You are a significant person in my life. If you don''t speak up, maybe my eyes are still blind."


    "The case is solved. Let''s party." Dian invites everyone to party.

 Chapter 118 - Terror

    Dino and Rere went for a walk in the amusement park with the children. Hanin and Leon were playing kora-kora. The children play with the nanny. Rere is already working in the office. She is a fast learner and can make decisions without asking Dino.


    "Thanks for everything, dad," Rere spoke to her husband.


    "Thank you for what?"


    "Thank you for being patient and helping me manage my company. I can''t imagine what would happen if you don''t buy shares from Mr. Rusdi and Mr. Ananto. If someone else bought it, they would have overthrown me."


    "No need to thank me. I should have done that because it was your company. I have one request for you."


    "What? Do you want two more children?" Rere teased his husband.


    "We''ve been diligently making it, Rere. Let''s wait for the results. Have you checked it yet? I remember having Leon after our first lovemaking. I am a superior seed."


    "So arrogant. I have a hormonal disorder. I only found out I was pregnant with Leon after six months. My stomach is flat and not bulging."


    "What hormone disorder?"


    "I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome."


    "What''s that?"


    "PCOS is an abnormality in hormones and the body''s metabolic system that disturbed the function of the ovaries. It is a disease that causes the ovum or egg cells to not develop normally due to a hormonal imbalance. This can cause irregular menstrual periods with the formation of multiple cysts on the ovaries. Getting pregnant was a miracle. I even thought that I would become a barren woman, so at that time I was confident and said that I would not get pregnant."


    "We don''t know God''s power, Re. Leon''s existence is a miracle." Dino embraced Rere and kissed his wife''s forehead. "Thank you for bringing Leon into this world."


    "No need to thank me. I did intend to give birth to him. I have loved him since I knew he was in my stomach."


    "How about getting some test packs?"


    "Later."


    ****


    Rere is on his way home. She had just finished work. Dino returns to KL to take care of his company. Dino often commutes from Jakarta to KL. Rere can''t stay in KL because she takes care of her company.


    Rere suddenly braked her car because she just hit a motorcyclist. It wasn''t Rere''s fault, since the motorcyclist overtaking her. Incidentally, the streets were deserted because it was late at night. Rere got out of the car to see the motorcyclist''s condition. The man lay on the asphalt, not moving at all.


    Rere approached him with a trembling body. She was afraid that the man''s condition was severe. Rere did not see any blood on the man.


    "Are you all right, sir? Rere spoke half-shouted. She didn''t dare approach the man.


    No answer.


    Silent.


    "Sir, can you hear my voice?" Rere was moving closer. She was getting worried because there was no response. Rere hastily approached and touched the motorcyclist.


    Suddenly the man got up. He grabbed Rere''s hair and then punched Rere''s stomach until she vomited blood. Not satisfied, the man kicked Rere as Rere''s body hit the car.


    "Snake woman, you deserve it. This is your first warning. Don''t ever play with us." The man banged Rere''s head against the car.


    Rere screamed pitifully from the pain. Her body was so hurt all over that she couldn''t cry anymore. The man opened the car door and took Rere''s bag. The man quickly opened the bag and took Rere''s money.


    "Help me," Rere moaned, clutching her stomach. She vomited blood again. The man who attacked her was like a professional boxer. In one hit, he can make Rere weak and helpless.


    Rere crawled to her car. She has lost power. She took out her cell phone and called her husband.


    "No, help me..." Rere said before fainting.


    Dino panicked when he heard Rere''s heart-wrenching wails.


    "Tom, get the plane ready," Dino shouted in a baritone voice.


    Tom immediately called the airline to prepare a private jet for Dino.


    Dino has a private jet that he bought for Ananya. After Ananya died, the jet was transferred to Hanin.


    It took two hours for Dino to arrive at the hospital. He was shocked to find that Rere needed an operation. The family was waiting and they were very worried about Rere''s condition. Dino didn''t know what happened so Rere got terror from an unknown person. Ainil was shocked when the police contacted her and informed her about Rere''s condition. Shortly after the police called, Dino called her and told her that Rere had asked him for help.


    The family was very worried about Rere''s condition. Bara and Dila paced in front of the operating room. They didn''t understand why Rere needed to have the operation. People said that Rere was harassed by a man. The man hit her in the stomach until she vomited blood. Not only that, the man even threw Rere''s body into the car until she finally fell unconscious.


    "What happened to my wife, mother?" Dino looked worried. His face was pale and distressed. He still remembers how Rere cried when she called him.


    "We haven''t received any answers yet. No. When we arrived, Dr. Uty had already asked us for an operation approval, but had not explained what happened to Rere." Bara looked at Dino.


    "Doctor Uty? That friend of yours?"


    "Isn''t Uty an ob-gyn? an obstetrician?" Dila spoke.


    "Gosh. Rere has PCOS. Is it possible she''s pregnant but doesn''t know about that?" Dino leaned against the wall. He slumped to the floor until his eyes welled up with tears.


    "What do you mean No?" Ainil approached his son-in-law.


    "Rere has PCOS. Sometimes she will not menstruate for a long time. It could be Rere was pregnant but unaware of her condition. When pregnant with Leon, she only discovered her pregnancy after six months because of PCOS. Rere rarely got her period. She doesn''t know she''s pregnant because she''s used to not menstruating." Dino tried to hold back his tears. He was expecting another child from Rere. The boy had left before they knew his whereabouts.


    "Not necessarily, No. The doctor hasn''t given any information yet." Bara strengthened Dino. Hope that Dino''s guess is wrong.


    "My feelings are never wrong, Bar. It was Uty who operated on Rere, right?"


    "Right." Dila nodded.


    Dino''s chest felt tight. It''s like having trouble breathing. If his guess was correct, he would be very sad.


    "Let''s pray to God, hopefully, your guess was wrong."


    Everyone waited anxiously. Hoping that what they feared would not happen. For some reason, Dino had a bad hunch. He glanced at the clock. The time feels so slow. Everyone waits in uncertainty.


    Doctor Uty came out of the operating room. Dino got up and intercepted him.


    "What happened to my wife?" Dino spoke in a trembling voice. His body shivered.


    "No." Doctor Uty touched Dino''s shoulder. She was also concerned about what happened to Rere.


    "What''s the matter, Ty? Talk to us." Bara urged Uty to speak.


    "Don''t you guys really know what happened to Rere?" Doctor Uty was even confused by the family''s reaction.


    "Is she pregnant? Did she miscarry by the hit?" Dino conveyed his conjecture.


    Uty glanced weakly at Dino. He could see Dino''s sadness and anxiety.


    "Sorry, No. Rere has a miscarriage. It was a six-week pregnancy. I just performed the curettage to Rere."


    "Why did you perform curettage?" Dino understood what Uty meant. He had experienced it so he was familiar with the term curettage. Ananya had a curettage before she was pregnant with Hanin.


    "I''ve tried my best No, but your baby can''t be saved." Doctor Uty wiped the sweat.


    "How about Rere''s condition?" Bara spoke up. For some reason, he was sad because he lost his nephew. He could feel Dino''s pain and sorrow.


    "She''s still asleep from the anesthetic. She''ll be awake in a minute."


    "Oh my God, Rere. Why did this happen to you?" Ainil cries. Something just ruined her daughter''s happiness. She doesn''t know why Rere always has bad luck.


    "Can I see her?" Dino asked Uty.


    "You can see her after the nurse moved her to the treatment room. I''ll go first. Uncle, aunt, Bar, Dila." Doctor Uty said goodbye.


    "Tom," Dino called softly to the assistant.


    "Find out who did this to Rere. Check CCTV and find the culprit. I will not let the culprit get away easily. He has killed my offspring," Dino said angrily. The whole family shuddered at the sight of Dino''s anger. Every husband would also get angry when they saw their beloved wife being harassed.


    "Okay boss."


    "No, are you okay?" Dila is even worried about Dino''s psychological condition. As long as she knows Dino, this is the first time Dila has seen him look so terrible.


    "I won''t slack off anymore. I don''t want to lose my wife for the second time. I swear I won''t let go of the culprit who abused Rere."


    "Calm down, No. You''d better drink first." Herman handed mineral water to his son-in-law.

 Chapter 119 - Husband And Wife Cry

    "Find out who did this to Rere. Check CCTV and find the culprit. I will not let the culprit get away easily. He has killed my offspring," Dino said angrily. The whole family shuddered at the sight of Dino''s anger. Every husband would also get angry when they saw their beloved wife being harassed.


    "Okay boss."


    "No, are you okay?" Dila is even worried about Dino''s psychological condition. As long as she knows Dino, this is the first time Dila has seen him look so terrible.


    "I won''t slack off anymore. I don''t want to lose my wife for the second time. I swear I won''t let go of the culprit who abused Rere."


    "Calm down, No. You''d better drink first." Herman handed mineral water to his son-in-law.


    Dino took it and drank up to half a bottle. Dino hadn''t eaten or drank at all. His appetite suddenly disappeared. He was worried about Rere''s condition.


    The nurses pushed Rere out of the operating room. Rere was still unconscious. Everyone followed Rere to the treatment room.


    Dino looked at Rere sadly. He didn''t know what he should say if she asked him about her condition.


    "Rere is still asleep." Ainil stroked her daughter''s head.


    "Rere is still under anesthesia." Dila also stroked Rere''s hair.


    Dino sitting on the sofa in dazed. His head hung low in thought. He was suffocated by the thought. He felt sad because he had lost their third child. Dino felt lost and distressed. He looks tough on the outside, but in reality, his heart is broken. He fell into the deepest abyss and could not get up again. Feeling at the lowest point in his life. For some reason, as a husband, he feels he has failed to take care of his wife. Dino had learned from experience. He didn''t want to lose his wife for the second time. He had not been able to guess who the perpetrators had harmed Rere.


    It was enough to lose Ananya in such a tragic way. Dino didn''t want Rere to have the same fate as Ananya. Dino vowed not to forgive the perpetrator who had hurt Rere.


    "Dino. Are you ok?" Ainil was even worried to see the condition of his son-in-law. Since then, Dino seems to be out of focus and concentration.


    "I''m fine mom. Don''t worry about me. I''m worried about Rere''s condition."


    "Rere will be fine." Ainil tries to comfort Dino even though she needs to be comforted. As a mother, her heart was break looking at Rere''s condition. she hoped that everything was just a dream, not a reality.


    "Are you really okay, No? Ainil asked her son-in-law again


    "You don''t have to worry, mom, I''m fine."


    "But I can see the anxiety on your face, No."


    "I''m just sad and nervous, mom. This is normal because I just lost a child. The most distressing thing for me, we lost him before we knew he existed." Dino looked down at Rere who was lying weakly.


    "It''s not only you who are sad. We are also sad to know this. I don''t know why something has happened to you even though you have just started your marriage and started to love each other."


    "Maybe this is a test for me. We have to be strong to accept this ordeal." Dino tried to be strong even though his heart was broken.


    Bara approached Dino and lightly patted his shoulder. "We''ll find out who did this."


    "Thanks, Bar."


    "No need to thank me. We''re family, No."


    "We''re family, No. You don''t have to be modest," Dila encouraged Dino.


    "Thank you," Dino smiled.


    "Who will wait for Rere?" Ainil asked again.


    "Just let me do it. You can go home." Dino looked at his mother-in-law.


    "Are you sure?" She looked doubtfully. "Just let me do it. You should rest at home."


    "Don''t worry Dila. I want to accompany Rere and make sure of her condition. I can''t calm down when I''m at home."


    "Okay then."


    Everyone went home, leaving Dino and Rere alone. After the departure of their family, Dino closed the door tightly and locked it from the inside.


    Dino sobbed. He wept until he was tired. He saw Rere sleeping soundly with a pale face. His lips were pale. Dino kissed his wife''s forehead gently and then held her hand as if he didn''t want to let her go.


    "I''m sorry for not being able to take care of you, honey. I promise I''ll find out the culprit. I won''t forgive him." Dino took a warm towel and wiped the sweat on Rere''s temples. The woman was still fast asleep.


    Dino put a wet towel on the sink. He looked worriedly at his wife. Restless because Rere hasn''t regained consciousness. Rere lay weak. A knock on the door caught Dino''s attention. He immediately opened the door.


    "Sir, just keep the door closed. You can''t lock the door. The nurses will come one after another to see the patient''s condition."


    "Okay," Dino nodded.


    The nurse checked Rere''s temperature and blood pressure and changed Rere''s IV.


    "Why isn''t she awake yet? She should have woken up." Dino looked at the nurse.


    "The patient will wake up soon, sir. You need to wait for the anesthetic effect to wear off."


    "Thank you."


    "For the night clerk, nurse Tiwi and the team will visit the patient, sir."


    "Yes," Dino nodded.


    After changing the IV and taking Rere''s temperature, the nurses withdrew.


    Dino looked at Rere with teary eyes. For some reason, he couldn''t forget the pain of losing his son. If they had known Rere''s condition quickly, Dino surely would not let his wife drive alone. Dino will ask Rere to use a driver to pick her up from work.


    Tears trickled down Dino''s cheeks. He wiped it not wanting Rere to see his tears when she woke up later,


    Not long after the nurse left, Rere opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the ceiling. She was confused. Where is she? Her right hand has an IV on it. She tried to get up but felt pain in her stomach


    .


    "You''re awake?" Dino approached his wife. He helped his wife sit up


    by arranged the bed


    .


    "You came back." Rere cried, looking at her husband. She hugged Dino tightly. She was traumatized by the incident. Rere wept bitterly remembering the man when he hit her stomach until she vomited blood. The man was very cruel. One hit had left Rere helpless but the man continued to beat her.


    "I''m back." Dino stroked his wife''s head. He wanted to provide a place of comfort and protection.


    "I''m so afraid." Rere pouted.


    "Do not be afraid. I am here. No one can hurt you anymore. I promise."


    "Don''t leave me anymore. I think I am traumatized by the incident." Rere suddenly shivered and her body trembled.


    "I won''t. I will not leave you anymore. I will protect you from the bad guys."


    "I''m so afraid. I once ran into the forest with Tia and Gesa when Prince Ahmed''s men chased us to silence us about Ananya''s death. I''m so afraid." Rere wept bitterly.


    "Don''t be afraid anymore. They won''t hurt you."


    "What''s happened to me? Why did my stomach feel so painful? What happened? What time is it?"


    "It does not matter."


    "Don''t lie to me. What really happened."


    "That man has such inner strength that you vomit blood."


    "Do not lie to me. I felt pain in my stomach. I saw the blood in my groin before passing out." Rere didn''t believe Dino''s words. She saw the lie in her husband''s eyes.


    "You don''t have to think about it." Dino hugged Rere, trying to change the subject. Dino didn''t want Rere to be agitated when she found out that she had miscarried.


    "I''m angry if you lied to me. Tell me the truth. What has happened?" Rere tears fell down unconsciously. She doesn''t like being lied to.


    "Re, I can''t speak yet. I don''t want to worsen your condition. You have to recover first. I''ll tell you when you''re healed."


    "Not. I want to know now. If you don''t want to talk, I will find a doctor to ask about my condition." Rere tried to get up from the bed but Dino stopped him.


    Dino looked at Rere sarcastically. Dino didn''t like it when she didn''t heed his words. Rere''s guts shrunk as Dino reprimanded her through the look in his eyes.


    "I''m angry with you," Rere went back to sleep and turned her back on Dino.


    "Rere."


    "I don''t want to talk to you."


    "Re, it''s not like that but."


    "But what?" Rere got emotional. She couldn''t be angry at Dino. As a result, she burst into tears expressing her feelings.


    Dino tried to talk to her but was ignored. Rere knew that Dino was hiding something from her but she couldn''t guess what it was.


    "Re."


    "I''ll sleep. Don''t talk to me if you don''t want to be honest."


    "Are you sure you will be fine after listening to what I said?" Dino said as he pulled her to look at him.

 Chapter 120 - Strengthen Each Other

    Dino tried to talk to her but was ignored. Rere knew that Dino was hiding something from her but she couldn''t guess what it was.


    "Re."


    "I''ll sleep. Don''t talk to me if you don''t want to be honest."


    "Are you sure you will be fine after listening to what I said?" Dino said as he pulled her to look at him.


    "I want you to be honest. Even though it''s bitter, I''m ready to accept the truth."


    Dino wiped the tears from his wife''s cheeks.


    "Are you really okay?" Dino made sure.


    "Yes." Rere couldn''t wait.


    "You had miscarried, Re. Uty just did a curettage on you. Our baby cannot be saved. You are six weeks pregnant. That criminal has killed our son."


    Rere wept uncontrollably. Her hands trembled. She still couldn''t believe that she was pregnant. Rere saw no sign of life in her stomach. The baby was so small that she didn''t realize that she was pregnant.


    "I got pregnant and miscarried?" Rere looked at Dino sadly. Her heart felt like it would stop beating. Rere clenched her clothes with trembling hands. Her chest felt tight. She was hurt by the facts.


    "What kind of mother am I? I didn''t even know he was there." Rere screamed hysterically.


    Dino hugged his wife, giving strength.


    Rere whined against the blank wall, staring intently at the window. She could see the shady plants behind this room. She hoped that what Dino said was just a dream. Rere wished the baby was still in her stomach. Rere''s world seemed to collapse. She felt guilty for not being able to take care of her baby. Stupidly, Rere didn''t realize that she was pregnant. With PCOS, she didn''t realize she was pregnant.


    Rere just had her period when she was eighteen years old. She realized that she has PCOS after visiting a doctor. She was given hormone injections to menstruate. Getting pregnant with Leon was a miracle and a gift. Rere''s doctor said that it will be difficult to get pregnant because of PCOS.


    She didn''t know she was pregnant with her second child. There is regret in her heart. Her heart ached, her soul was torn apart. She felt like her body split into two pieces, leaving pieces that ended in bitterness. Rere felt the bitterness that came out of every drop of her tears.


    In the past, Rere had experienced a painful loss. She lost her father. It was painful. Her heart burned with deep sorrow. Now she feels another loss. She lost her baby. It''s more suffocating and heartbreaking. She didn''t even know she was pregnant. She knew she was having a baby after losing it. Rere feels like the dumbest mother in the world. Rere wept and wailed for a while. Her tears have flowed into rivers and have even dried up. No more tears will be shed.


    Rere tried to calm down, catch her breath. She had to accept reality. Even if she cries blood, the baby will not return. He was gone. They weren''t meant to be together.


    "Re." Dino''s voice was soft. The man again stroked Rere''s head giving her peace and comfort.


    Rere didn''t make a sound as she hugged Dino tightly. Rere rested her head on her husband''s shoulder. He felt comfortable in Dino''s warm embrace. Luckily there was Dino by his side. If it weren''t for him, Rere doesn''t know what would happen to her. She had to share her pain with Dino. If she swallowed this pain herself, it would hurt her even more.


    "Did you hear me, Re," Dino was even worried because there was no answer from his wife. Dino let go of his embrace and looked at Rere sadly.


    Rere stood still with empty eyes. Dino waved at Rere''s face. His wife''s eyes didn''t blink. His wife was shocked and shaken. Dino shook his wife''s body. He panicked. Dino pressed the bell to call the nurse. Dino laid Rere on the bed. He took Rere''s hand and squeezed it gently.


    "Yes, sir?" Two nurses came to their room.


    "My wife was shaken. She didn''t respond to me." The nurse checked Rere''s condition. She tried to stimulate Rere''s body. Before long, Rere blinked her eyes.


    "Can you hear me, ma''am?" The nurse interrogates Rere.


    "I do," Rere whispered, staring at the wall in disbelief. Somehow her soul still does not accept reality. She has miscarried!


    Dino stared silently at how pale and fragile his wife was to know their baby was gone. Dino was not that strong but he hides his weakness. He didn''t want Rere to break down like that. Dino realized that they were hurt and grieving. The sky is falling on them. They lost it before they even had it.


    "Thank you," Rere squeezed the nurse''s hand.


    "Then I will get back, sir." The nurse said goodbye to Dino.


    Rere turned back to Dino. Dino heard her wife sobbing and stepped closer to his wife.


    "Don''t come near me. Let me cry. This is my way to vent my grief. I know you cry and scream too but you just don''t show it to me. I know you hurt more than me. You''re a man so you can still hold your feelings, but I couldn''t hold back my tears. Let me cry. "


    Dino couldn''t prevent it. He was just stunned and grimaced at his wife''s sobs. He knew this was not easy for Rere. It''s a shame for Rere not to know about her pregnancy.


    Dino couldn''t contain his feelings when he heard Rere''s sobs. He approached Rere. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently. Dino also cried even though not as loudly as Rere.


    "I am suffering too, Re. It feels very stuffy here." Dino pointed at his chest. "I''ve lost my father, my brother, and my wife. Losing a child was the most painful. I''m also suffering. Can we share this pain together?" Dino looked at Rere with teary eyes.


    "Forgive me."


    "There''s nothing to forgive. This is not your fault."


    "What kind of mother am I to not notice her own child''s presence?" Rere rubbed her stomach. She still feels pain


    .


    "Stop it, Re. Do not Cry anymore. We cannot drown in this sadness. The child is in heaven. He will be waiting for us in heaven."


    "I haven''t..."


    "I know it''s not easy but...," Dino stopped.


    "But what?"


    "Our cries will not bring him back, Re ."


    "The disease made me not aware that I was pregnant. Why do I have PCOS? What did I do wrong that God punished me?"


    "God doesn''t punish you. God is just testing us. God knows that you can endure this ordeal."


    "Am I?" Rere felt insecure.


    "God will not test a servant beyond the ability of the servant himself. You are the chosen woman. No¡­ we, the chosen parents. God gives us a trial by taking our child. There will be a rainbow after the rain, Re. Trust me." Dino held both of Rere''s cheeks. He rubbed his nose against Rere''s nose.


    "We are strong Re. We are strong parents. I promise to you."


    "Promise what?"


    "I will find the culprit. I won''t let him get away after harming you."


    "Are you sure you can catch him?"


    "I''m positive. I''ll look for him even in the ant hole. I''m not the old Dino anymore. I will not be silent anymore."


    "Kiss me," Rere asked him, whining.


    Dino kissed Rere with a blue feeling. The two of them tried to support each other even though the wound was gaping. Dino was curious about Tom''s investigation. Dino vowed to give him a proper recompense. There is no mercy for the man who has harmed Rere.


    "It''s late. Let''s go to sleep." Dino laid Rere on the bed and covered her up to her chest.


    "Man, I''m scared." Rere grabbed Dino''s hand.


    "Calm down. No one will hurt you. I''m here." Dino convinced Rere.


    Morning has come. The sun appeared shyly on the horizon. The sky was so bright blue but it looked gray in Dino''s eyes. The piercing cold air pricked the skin. Dino''s eyes didn''t blink when he looked at the sky, hoping his unborn baby could be happy in heaven.


    "I hope you know that dad is saddened by your passing, son," Dino wiped his tears.


    Rere blinked as she opened her eyes, watching Dino who looked at the blue sky. Rere rubbed her eyes. Rere also still cannot move on from the pain


    of losing their baby.


    "No," she called Dino softly.


    Dino turned around and approached her, "You''re awake?" Dino smiled at his wife.


    "Since when did you wake up?"


    "Just some time ago."


    "Are you okay?"


    "I am getting better, it''s not hurt anymore. How about you?" Rere wanted to stand up.


    Dino quickly helped his wife to stand while holding the IV.


    "Why are you awake?" Dino stroked Rere''s cheek


    "Want to pee." Rere smiled.


    "Want me to help you?" Dino was seen teasing his wife.


    "Do not tease me." Rere smiled shyly, looking at Dino.


    "Teasing? At least I can help you take off your pants." Dino winked.

 Chapter 121 - Sweet Dino

    Morning has come. The sun appeared shyly on the horizon. The sky was so bright blue but it looked gray in Dino''s eyes. The piercing cold air pricked the skin. Dino''s eyes didn''t blink when he looked at the sky, hoping his unborn baby could be happy in heaven.


    "I hope you know that dad is saddened by your passing, son," Dino wiped his tears.


    Rere blinked as she opened her eyes, watching Dino who looked at the blue sky. Rere rubbed her eyes. Rere also still cannot move on from the pain


    of losing their baby.


    "No," she called Dino softly.


    Dino turned around and approached her, "You''re awake?" Dino smiled at his wife.


    "Since when did you wake up?"


    "Just some time ago."


    "Are you okay?"


    "I am getting better, it''s not hurt anymore. How about you?" Rere wanted to stand up.


    Dino quickly helped his wife to stand while holding the IV.


    "Why are you awake?" Dino stroked Rere''s cheek


    "Want to pee." Rere smiled.


    "Want me to help you?" Dino was seen teasing his wife.


    "Do not tease me." Rere smiled shyly, looking at Dino.


    "Teasing? At least I can help you take off your pants." Dino winked.


    "I can do it myself." Rere took the IV from Dino and carried it to the bathroom. Previously, Rere had stopped the infusion flow.


    "You really don''t need my help, Re?" asked Dino when Rere entered the bathroom.


    "No need. I can do it myself." Rere smiled when Dino teased her again.


    Rere was confused because there was no place to hang her IV. As a result, she held the IV with her left hand. But she could not open her pants. Rere paced because she couldn''t take her pants off.


    "Re, are you okay? Why so long?" Dino shouted from outside.


    "I can''t take off my pants because I have to hold the IV. If I don''t hold the IV properly, my hand will bleed."


    Dino entered the bathroom. Rere avoided him when Dino bent down to take off her pants.


    "Why did you avoid me?" Dino was surprised by Rere''s attitude.


    "Why did you take off my pants?" Rere was nervous.


    "You said you wanted to pee."


    "I can do it myself."


    "You should finish it if you can do it yourself, re."


    "But..." Rere looked nervous. She imagined something that she really wanted to happen instead.


    "I''m not going to do anything." Dino seemed to understand Rere''s concern. "How could I make love to you just after curette?" Dino smirked.


    "Dino." Rere patted Dino''s shoulder in embarrassment.


    Dino helped Rere take off her pants and waited for her to pee.


    "Aren''t you going to take a shower? Let me help you ." Dino lifted Rere''s top.


    "The nurse will help me." Reject gently.


    "You don''t have to be shy, honey. Why are you embarrassed? I''ve seen it all." Dino pinched his wife''s cheek in frustration.


    "Dino." Rere''s face turned red.


    Dino helped Rere take a bath. The man tied her hair.


    Rere was amazed that Dino could tie her hair neatly.


    "How could you do that?"


    "What do you mean?" Dino asked while lathering Rere.


    "You tie my hair expertly."


    "I''m used to tying Hanin''s hair. I can even braid your hair."


    "It''s rare that you can take care of children. Men usually don''t want to take care of small things like that."


    "It is them, not me."


    Dino bathed her. He smiled when he saw Rere was laughing. Teasing Rere is the most powerful thing to make his wife smile.


    Dino put Rere''s clothes on and took her back to the room. Unexpectedly, breakfast has been delivered by hospital staff.


    "Want me to feed you?"


    "Dino."


    "What?" Dino was busy opening the plastic wrap on the dish.


    "How could you be this cute?"


    "I''m really cute, that''s why a lot of people like me," Dino spoke confidently.


    "Not your face, but your treatment to me. Ananya must be lucky to have a husband as good as you. No wonder she chose you instead of that damn prince," Rere caressed Dino''s cheek.


    Hearing Prince Ahmed''s name made Dino stunned. He got up and took out his cell phone and called Tom.


    "What''s the matter, sir?"


    "Why did I never think of that?" Dino paced around because his call was unanswered


    "Why? What happened?" Rere didn''t eat, waiting for Dino''s answer.


    "I''ve been told that Prince Ahmed wants to harm me. He still has a malicious feeling to me because he was dethroned as crown prince for kidnapping us."


    "We?"


    "Me and Gesa."


    Rere''s face suddenly turned pale. If prince Ahmed was behind all this, the man would never give up. Rere remembers how prince Ahmed hunted her, Tia, and Gesa. They had to flee into the forest to hide.


    "Isn''t he in prison?"


    "Just a minute, Re. I will call Tom." Dino panicked because his call did not get an answer from Tom.


    "Pick up, Tom." Dino was panicked.


    Doctor Uty and the nurses made a visit. The beautiful doctor smiled at Rere.


    "How are you, Re?" Doctor Uty greeted them. They are familiar with each other since the doctor is the one who helped Rere give birth to Leon.


    "It''s getting better doc. My body is no longer sore." Rere rubbed her stomach.


    "You''re in good shape. You can go home today. I''ll write down a prescription. Your IV can be removed now." Doctor Uty talked as the nurse started to move.


    "Okay, doctor."


    "Doctor, I want to know my wife''s condition." Dino interrupted.


    "Okay," Doctor Uty smiled.


    "Rere has PCOS so she doesn''t menstruate. She did not realize she was pregnant, making her act hastily sometimes. This isn''t the first time Rere has had this kind of pregnancy. In the past, She just discovered her pregnancy after six months. Can this PCOS be treated?"


    "Of course you can. As long as Rere does treatment and takes medicine regularly. I''ve often asked Rere to come for a consultation but she never comes. Rere is a very fertile woman even though she has PCOS. For women with PCOS, getting pregnant was difficult, but Rere is the opposite. "


    "From now on, you must consult with doctor Uty. This disease must be treated. I will not let this happen again." Dino looked at his wife.


    "But,"


    "There are no buts. You have to obey your husband''s words."


    "Yes." Rere pouted in annoyance.


    "I''m waiting for you for our next meeting, Re," said the doctor before leaving.


    The nurse stayed behind because she needed to take the IV first. Rere winced in pain as the IV needle was removed from her hand. The nurse left after finishing her work.


    "No," Rere whined.


    "What?" Dino sounded cold.


    "I don''t want the treatment. It''s useless. It won''t heal."


    "Won''t heal?" Dino''s brows furrowed at Rere''s rash decision.


    "You need to be treated. Every illness can be cured, Re."


    "Since the first treatment, my menstrual cycle is still


    irregular."


    "Maybe you haven''t met the right doctor yet. Hopefully, Doctor Uty can help you."


    "Are you sure?"


    "Of course. You''ll be fine." Dino took Rere''s hand. The man brought Rere to sit and feed her food.


    Rere was touched by her husband''s attention and affection. She never felt so much care and love from a man. Even though she had dated Angga, the man was not this cute.


    The ringing of Dino''s cell phone caught their attention. Dino got up and took the phone. It was from Tom.


    "Boss, I''ve found out who did it."


    "Rere, I have to go." Dino looks rushed.


    "Where? "


    "I''ll tell you later. I''m in a hurry." Dino took his cell phone and called Dila.


    "Dill, can you come to the hospital?"


    "I happened to be on the way to the hospital, No."


    "Thank goodness. I need to leave, but I can''t leave Rere alone."


    "We''re almost there. We are on the parking lot."


    Dino waited for Dila for a while. Dila ran to Rere''s room.


    "Take care of Rere," said Dino before leaving.


    Dino rushed towards the parking lot. Tom had sent the location. Dino accidentally bumped into Bara while getting off the elevator.


    "Where are you going, No?" Bara asked.


    "We''ve found the culprit, Bar. The police are on their way."


    "Have you found it?"


    "We did."


    "I''m coming." Bara pulled Dino''s arm.

    Tom fights with Rere''s attacker. At first, Tom could handle the man, but the gang of thugs came and fought him. Tom fought with six men. They beat Tom to a pulp. The man even vomited blood.


    Tom''s face was swollen and out of shape. They dragged Tom into the old building of a former mall that had gone bankrupt.


    A handsome man came up to Tom.


    "Have you seen sir? I can handle it," The man said to Lutfi.


    "It''s the best decision to work with you, Reyhan." Lutfi smiled sarcastically at Tom. The man was hurt because he could not manage the company. He was even fired and had no job. Lutfi feels entitled to become a director because he has worked hard for the company. Rere and Ainil never looked at him.

 Chapter 122 - Finding The Perpetrator

    Tom fights with Rere''s attacker. At first, Tom could handle the man, but the gang of thugs came and fought him. Tom fought with six men. They beat Tom to a pulp. The man even vomited blood.


    Tom''s face was swollen and out of shape. They dragged Tom into the old building of a former mall that had gone bankrupt.


    A handsome man came up to Tom.


    "Have you seen sir? I can handle it," The man said to Lutfi.


    "It''s the best decision to work with you, Reyhan." Lutfi smiled sarcastically at Tom. The man was hurt because he could not manage the company. He was even fired and had no job. Lutfi feels entitled to become a director because he has worked hard for the company. Rere and Ainil never looked at him.


    "I have suspected that you were the culprit." Tom looked at the man scornfully.


    "Do not talk too much." Lutfi took a newbaton stick and pointed it at Tom''s face. The man couldn''t escape because his body was being held by Reyhan''s and Lutfi''s men.


    Without warning, Reyhan took a newbaton stick from Lutfi''s hand. He hit Tom''s stomach, back, and legs until the man vomited blood. Lutfi flinched when he saw Tom being tortured and kicked. Tom was treated like an animal. Reyhan even handcuffed Tom''s hands. He would kill everyone who dares to intervene in his business. It was the proper punishment. The man kills people easily. He doesn''t know the feeling of mercy or pity.


    Reyhan had to finish his work immediately. He investigated Rere and Dino while in Jakarta. When he found out that Rere was hostile to Lutfi, Reyhan then came to Lutfi and asked him to cooperate. The reward is money and revenge. Rere should have died then. His men''s punch was supposed to kill Rere, but the woman was strong and survived the attack.


    Reyhan torture Tom until he was out of shape. After Tom was helpless, Reyhan removed the handcuffs and dragged him around the building. Tom''s blood splattered on the floor. Reyhan dragged Tom in front of the piranha fish pond.


    The fish was prepared to eliminate Rere and Dino. As a hitman, Reyhan committed many murders. Everything was neatly arranged so that they wouldn''t be tracked.


    Reyhan stepped on Tom''s head. "I will throw your body in this pond. My pet fish will eat you alive. Isn''t this fun?" Reyhan laughed. His voice broke the silence.


    Lutfi shuddered in horror. He can''t imagine if his body was thrown into the fish pond.


    "You''re a coward, Reyhan. Just change your pants with a skirt. If you''re a real man you should fight manly with me instead of torturing me like this. It''s disgusting," Tom said, provoking Reyhan''s anger. He deliberately provoked Reyhan to buy time until Dino and the police arrived. Tom has sent his current location and made a police report.


    "You ...," Reyhan screamed hysterically, approaching Tom. Reyhan didn''t like being challenged.


    "Your mouth is really venomous. I can''t wait to kill you," Reyhan said, clutching Tom''s chin.


    "Hahahaha," Tom burst out laughing. He hurt Reyhan''s pride. Tom should be begging for forgiveness, not challenging him.


    "Once a coward, always a coward," Tom whispered in Reyhan''s ear. Reyhan''s spine tingled, feeling Tom''s breath. He was about to die but still dared to act.


    "Shut up!" Reyhan snapped, grabbing Tom''s hair. He threw Tom to the floor.


    "You are a fool if you follow his orders. The police will be here soon. You will be arrested. Do you think he can run away from this country?" Tom laughed amusedly at Reyhan''s and Lutfi''s men.


    Everyone was silent. They were affected by Tom''s words.


    "Don''t expect this loser to help you. You''re just being taken advantage of. He''ll run away alone. He''s a professional killer. I know this bastard better than you guys. He''s a sadistic hitman in KL city." Tom swayed Reyhan''s men, hoping they would believe what he said.


    "You are a fool, Mr. Lutfi." Tom glared. Even though he was battered, he was not afraid.


    "After that bastard kills me, you guys will also be killed and thrown in that piranha fish pond," Tom''s index finger pointed at the piranha fish pond.


    "You will die too, sir." Tom scares Lutfi.


    Lutfi''s body trembled. He saw the honesty in Tom''s eyes. All of his men were shaking and frightened


    .


    "The man who poisoned his mother can easily kill all of you?" Tom said, throwing his poisonous words. He investigates Reyhan until he knows his past


    Reyhan was furious. He strangled Tom and threw him against the wall. Tom moved quickly to take the newbaton stick and hit Reyhan blindly.


    "You bastard," Ryan winced in pain. Blood soaked the nape of his neck.


    "Why are you not moving?" Reyhan glared at Lutfi and his men. "Bastard says that on purpose so he can get away."


    Lutfi and Reyhan''s men were startled. They realized they had been taken advantage of. They attack Tom.


    Tom did not run out of energy even though he was battered. He hit all three in turn. Tom was careless, Lutfi managed to hit him and grabbed the newbaton stick. When he was going to hit Tom, someone restrained the stick he was holding. Lutfi saw the person who was blocking him. The man was Dino. For a moment Lutfi was stunned. Dino took the opportunity to kick Lutfi''s genitals until the man screamed pitifully.


    Bara helped Tom to stand and picked up the newbaton stick. Bara hit Reyhan.


    "You, impudent! How dare you harm my sister."


    Reyhan held the newbaton stick and crushed it into two pieces. Reyhan is too professional to paralyze Bara.


    Bara put out all his strength. He responded to every punch Reyhan gave him.


    Dino took a wooden block and then hit Reyhan and Lutfi. The man blindly hits them. Reyhan was taking a gun from his waist when Dino kicked him,  dropping the gun.


    Dino emotionally hit Reyhan even though his punch was repelled. Dino hit Reyhan''s head until it was covered in blood.


    "Why did you hurt Rere?" Dino asked Reyhan. "So, you did it on purpose to make me fall off the cliff. Who sent you?"


    "You don''t need to know. Rere and you must die!"


    Reyhan ignored Dino''s question. His sharp eyes saw the gun lying not far from him. Reyhan kicked Dino until he fell.


    Reyhan took a gun and shot Dino. The bullet hit Dino''s arm.


    "Ahh....." Dino screamed in pain. The wooden block slipped from his hand.


    "Boss, are you okay?" Tom was worried about Dino''s condition.


    "You''re bleeding." Bara took a handkerchief from her trouser pocket and tied Dino''s arm. Bara did it to stop the bleeding.


    "So cute," Reyhan mumbled. He shot Tom''s right thigh.


    "Unfortunately you will die." Reyhan aimed at Bara, but the man managed to dodge and hide.


    "You''re evil," Tom growled, clutching his thigh. His hatred for Reyhan deepened. If Tom was not hurt, he would finish Reyhan off by throwing him in the piranha fish pond.


    "Did you just find that out?" Reyhan mocked them with a satisfied smile.


    "It doesn''t look like a draw." Reyhan aimed the gun at Tom''s left thigh.


    When releasing the trigger someone came strangling Reyhan''s neck and aimed a shot into the air. Reyhan missed his target. Tom and Dino saw their savior. It turned out to be Dian. She followed Bara''s car after Bara called her for help. Dian skills are important at this time. Even though Dian had lost track of Bara, she followed her heart that led her here.


    Dian beat Reyhan to a pulp. The woman had attended an intelligence school. She was asked by the state to be a spy but refused. The gun that Reyhan was holding slipped out of his hand. Reyhan couldn''t move when Dian kicked and hit him. Fresh blood flowed from Reyhan''s lips and nose. The man lay on the floor. Dian''s inner strength is already great enough to defeat the assassin.


    "It''s a disgrace for a hitman like me to lose to a woman." Reyhan laughed ironically.


    "It''s more shameful to persecute a weak woman. How long have you been an accomplice to that crazy man? Payback for what you''ve done. Stupid." Dian cursed Reyhan.


    "What do you mean, Dian?" Dino was flabbergasted. Didn''t think Diane knew.


    "Bara asked me to find out about the perpetrators of Rere''s abuse. I managed to track him down thanks to the help of my friend, an intelligence officer. He''s an errand boy from Prince Ahmed. The crazy prince isn''t in prison. He''s just exiled to an island. He will kill Rere and you."


    "Bastard." Bara suddenly emerged and beat Reyhan.


    "It turns out that you are not to be underestimated." Reyhan laughed. He kicked Dian until she fell to the floor.


    The two of them fought fiercely. Bara helps Dian beat Reyhan. Reyhan and Lutfi''s men try to hurt Tom, but Dino helps.

 Chapter 123 - Dinos Operation

    The two of them fought fiercely. Bara helps Dian beat Reyhan. Reyhan and Lutfi''s men try to hurt Tom, but Dino helps.


    The police came, and released warning shots. Lutfi and Reyhan''s subordinates were stunned. They are shocked.


    Reyhan growled in annoyance that the police had surrounded the place. Dian kicked Reyhan to the ground.


    The police approached and handcuffed Reyhan''s men one by one. Lutfi ran for Reyhan''s protection. The man didn''t want to be caught.


    "Tom," Dino screamed hysterically, seeing the state of his assistant. He came to Tom and helped him. Tom''s condition left him devastated and torn apart. Dino didn''t want to lose a trusted person.


    "Boss," Tom said quietly.


    "Don''t talk anymore. We''ll save you. We''re going to the hospital. You should be fine and healthy. You''re like a brother to me."


    "Ambulance on its way," said the policeman interrupting Dion and Tom''s conversation.


    Reyhan got up from his dazed state. He glanced at the gun not far from him. Silently he took the gun. He pointed a gun at Lutfi. Everyone was shocked by Reyhan''s actions. They did not expect that Reyhan would point a gun at Lutfi.


    "What are you doing?" Luffy trembled.


    "I used you to run Old Man."


    "Aren''t we a team?"


    "What do you mean? I don''t need you anymore, you idiot." Reyhan even cursed Lutfi.


    "Bastard." Lutfi cursed Reyhan. He fought back but Reyhan managed to paralyze him.


    "Put down the weapon!" The police ordered Reyhan. They surrounded Reyhan from all sides.


    "Don''t move," Reyhan snapped at Lutfi. "If you approach me again, the bullet will lodge in his body," he gave a warning shot.


    Lutfi''s guts shrank. He froze in fear. If he persists, Reyhan will not hesitate to shoot him.


    "Stay away from me," Reyhan said to the police. He doesn''t want to be careless. If he opened fire, the police wouldn''t hesitate to shoot them.


    "Get away from me!" Reyhan ordered the police to give him a way out. He drags Lutfi as a shield.


    Police move carefully. They don''t want to be careless.


    "He''s coming with me." Reyhan looked at the police one by one.


    "If you come any closer. I''ll blow his head off." Reyhan threatened the police.


    Everyone in the room shuddered in horror. Police were alert. They glanced at each other.


    Lutfi trembled. He didn''t want to die in Reyhan''s hands. The old man regretted having teamed up with a demon like Reyhan.


    "Let me go?" Lutfi spoke with trembling lips.


    "You are useful to me old man," said Reyhan, smiling mysteriously. He acts like a crazy person.


    Ryan paced slowly. The police gave him a way. They are planning a strategy.


    Dino tried to approach Reyhan, not wanting the bastard to get away easily. Unluckily, his recklessness resulted in a hot bullet on his feet. Dino screamed in pain as his leg was pierced by a bullet. Dino''s scream sounded pitiful and made everyone panic.


    "Dino," Bara screamed. He was shocked to see his brother-in-law injured.


    Reyhan ambushed Lutfi and pointed a gun at the man''s head. His left hand was wrapped around Lutfi''s neck, and his right hand was holding a gun.


    "If you come any closer. This gun will blow his head off," Reyhan threatened to make everyone not move.


    Dino''s condition made everyone hysterical.


    "He''s crazy," said Tom.


    "What should we do?"


    "Nothing. Otherwise, Reyhan will kill Lutfi," Tom replied, looking at Reyhan hatefully.


    "Just let him die," said Dian furiously.


    Reyhan became more panicked when he saw the number of police officers increasing. The hospital staff also came. They carried Tom and Dino into the ambulance.


    The police took Reyhan''s men in a car, while some were still guarding Reyhan. Reyhan panicked and was getting desperate. He had no chance to escape. He turned Lutfi''s body.


    "You and I will die," Reyhan said desperately. He shot Lutfi in the chest and threw him into the piranha fish pond.


    Bara, Dian, and the police shrieked hysterically. They roared at the sight of Lutfi''s body being thrown into the piranha fish pond.


    As soon as Lutfi''s body fell into the pond, the fish that had been pacing above the pond immediately surrounded him and tore him cruelly. The fish are feasting on fresh food. The fish ate Lutfi''s body voraciously until only his bones remained.


    "No," Bara screamed, watching Rere''s Uncle''s death in front of his eyes. He looked at the man with hatred.


    Bara reflexively kicked Reyhan into the pool. The fish attacked both Reyhan''s legs. Reyhan screamed pitifully as the fish''s teeth tore his feet. The police immediately rescued Reyhan from the pool. According to the police, Reyhan must not die before taking responsibility for his actions.


    Dian and Bara immediately got into the ambulance to accompany Dino, who was injured. Tom was in the other ambulance. Dino winced in pain.


    "Relax, No. Everything is fine." Bara encouraged his brother-in-law.


    Dino closed his eyes to endure the pain in his arms and legs. The pain of his wound is getting worse. Two bullets lodged in his body.


    "Bar, don''t tell Rere. I beg you. I don''t want her to worry about my condition."


    "But, No."


    "Please... Rere was still mourning because of her miscarriage. I don''t want her to increase her worry. Just keep what happened to me a secret. I beg you, Bar...."


    "Okay, No. You have to get well."


    Dino and Tom were taken to a nearby hospital. Two ambulances entered the ER at Abrar Yaunin Hospital. Nurses in the ER ran with two gurneys to transport Dino and Tom.


    The police went inside to make sure they got treatment right away.


    "What happened, Bar?" Raline, Kevan''s wife, greeted Bara. Unexpectedly, Raline is in the ER, examining her patient who will be referred for treatment. Raline has become a pediatrician, not a general practitioner.


    "Raline?" Bara is even surprised to find that Raline is still on duty in the ER even though she is heavily pregnant.


    "What happened, bar?"


    "Dino and Tom were shot. Long story."


    "I''ll help Dino and Tom first then," Raline went inside and checked Dino and Tom''s condition.


    "The patient has gunshot wounds to the legs and arms. Refer to the surgeon immediately for surgery. The bullet must be removed immediately," Raline has not been able to move on as the front line in the ER. Even though it''s not her job, but the patient is Bara''s family, she volunteered to do it.


    "Still can''t move on yet, doc?" Bita, a general practitioner who worked in the emergency room, teased her.


    "Sorry, Bit," Rachel laughed.


    "It''s okay, doc. It''s an honor for the doctor to help me. Counting down the work." Bita teased her senior again.


    The nurse gave the patient''s medical report to Bita. Bita noted the diagnosis and signed a referral letter to the doctor. If the patient''s disease is significant, he will be referred to a specialist.


    Tom was also referred to a surgeon. Both were taken to the operating room. Doctors will operate on them in turn. Raline helped her contact the surgeon because Bara is her husband''s business partner.


    "Thank you, Raline." Bara smiled at Raline.


    "It should be, Bar."


    "Raline," said Dian kindly.


    "Dian, how are you?" Raline greeted Dian and kissed her.


    "Why are you in the ER? Aren''t you a pediatrician?"


    "There happened to be a patient of mine in the ER. He has been referred for treatment."


    "Your belly has gotten so big. When is the birth estimate date?"


    "Still, two months to go."


    "You''re even more beautiful when you''re pregnant."


    "You are getting smarter on this."


    "Boss, how are Dino and Tom doing?" Dian glanced at Bara.


    "They''ve been taken to the operating room," Raline answered Dian''s question.


    "Let''s go to my private room. Let''s wait there," Raline took Dian''s hand. Bara followed the two women behind.


    "Drink first, Bar, Dian," Raline gave them mineral water.


    "Thank you, Line." Dian glanced at Raline and drank the mineral water.


    "What happened?" Raline curiously looked at Bara.


    Bara told her what happened to Rere and Dino. The beautiful doctor was also concerned about the condition of the two.


    "Rere''s PCOS must be treated. If not, she will miss the sign of her pregnancy again. Didn''t Rere consult Doctor Uty?"


    "Rere doesn''t want treatment. But Dino has forced her to treat PCOS until she recovers."


    "That''s better, Bar."


    Bara glanced at Raline''s big belly and smiled cutely.


    "Anything funny Bar?" Raline asked.


    "That bastard Kevan got you pregnant quickly. You guys just reconciled, but your belly has gotten so big," Bara said in an amused tone. He knows that Kevan, Raline''s husband, is a playboy.


    "Long story, Bar." Raline smiled shyly.


    "That mean you guys reconcile after you are pregnant?" Diana couldn''t contain her curiosity.


    "He deliberately impregnated me to reconcile with him."


    "Why do you want to make love to her when you''re divorced," Bara teased Raline again. He did not hesitate to say things like that since they are close.

 Chapter 124 - Lost Track

    "He deliberately impregnated me to reconcile with him."


    "Why do you want to make love to her when you''re divorced," Bara teased Raline again. He did not hesitate to say things like that since they are close.


    "Forced or raped."


    "Aren''t you also the same, boss," Dian even mocked Bara.


    "Bara and Kevan are almost the same. Cunning and mischievous." Raline teased both of them.


    "The important thing is we have changed," Bara smiled, looking the other way.


    "Is Kevan still a playboy? Keep playing with girls?" Dian asked Raline.


    "I''ll put him to death if he did things like that again." Raline laughed.


    "Cruel," Bara commented.


    "He has changed, especially since he found out I was pregnant. He was very caring and protective. He deliberately raped me when we were divorced so that I could get pregnant and get back with him."


    "What a bastard," Bara laughed.


    Raline glanced at the clock. She picked up the phone and called the operating room.


    "This is doctor Raline. Has the operation of the patient named Dino Putra Chaniago finished?"


    "Yes, doc. The operation has finished. He is on observation."


    "Thank you." Raline hung up.


    "Dino''s operation went well. But he will be observed first before he was taken to the treatment room." Raline said, glancing at Bara and Dian.


    "Thank God." He breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his face.


    "Have you informed your mother and others, boss?" Dian looked at Bara.


    "Not yet." Bara shook his head.


    "We have to tell them."


    Bara and Dian came out of Raline''s room. Incidentally, Raline has not practiced at the children''s polyclinic, so she can accompany them. The nurses pushed the gurney. Dino was still asleep due to the anesthetic effect. Bara stared at the man blankly. This is Rere and Dino''s trial. They were both hurt. Bara couldn''t understand why Prince Ahmed did this to Rere and Dino even though Dino had never bothered him. If prince Ahmed was so angry when Dino married Ananya, the grudge should have disappeared because Ananya had died.


    Bara was surprised to see the crazy prince''s ambition. Was it because the title of crown prince was stripped of? Revocation of the crown prince title makes Prince Ahmed unable to become king.


    Bara took the cell phone and called Dila.


    ''"Where are you, dear?" Bara asked affectionately, making Dian and Raline nauseous, wanting to vomit.


    "I was shopping at the hospital supermarket. My stomach is really hungry."


    "How about Rere''s condition?"


    "She was packing. The doctor allowed Rere to go home."


    "I will ask the driver to pick you up, honey."


    "OK."


    "You are so sweet, Bar." Raline teased her.


    "Of course. I''m cuter than Kevan."


    "Why did you say my name?" Kevin suddenly appeared.


    "You bastard, ex-playboy is coming." Bara even tapped Kevan''s shoulder.


    "Aren''t you going to scold Bara, dear? He''s been bad to your husband," Kevan embraced Raline affectionately. "Your lunch." Kevan is carrying a lunch box.


    "The late slave of love."


    "Better late than never." Kevan excitedly kissed his wife''s cheek.


    "What an arrogant man," Bara amused.


    "Why are you guys in the hospital?" Kevan looked surprised at Bara and Dian.


    "Dino was shot. He just had surgery." Bara said.


    "Why did Dino get shot?"


    "Long story, Van. I can''t tell you now. Just asked Raline. We talked earlier. Fortunately, we met your wives here so Dino and Tom could get the treatment quickly."


    "I am sorry for what happened to Dino. Can we see him now?" Kevin looked at his wife.


    "Of course, darling."


    "I want to visit Dino."


    "Let''s go inside," Bara invited him.


    Dino blinked. When he woke up, he saw a white curtain. His eyes caught Bara, Dian, Raline, and Kevan, who were chatting.


    "Bar," Dino softly called his brother-in-law.


    "You awake, No." Bara smiled wryly. Relieved, Dino finally woke up.


    "Where am I?"


    "We are at the bar. Of course, you''re in the hospital."


    "What about Uncle Lutfi and Reyhan?" Dino asked.


    "Uncle Lutfi died because he was eaten by a piranha. Reyhan was also rushed to the hospital. Both his legs were amputated."


    "Oh my." Dino rubbed his face roughly. "Why is all this happening to me, Bar? Why does Prince Ahmed always harass my family?"


    "He''s crazy for his unrequited love. Since Ananya can''t love him back, he wants to hurt you. He feels you snatched his happiness."


    "Ananya is dead, Bar." Dino looks frustrated.


    "But his grudge never dies. He doesn''t want to see you happy. Ahmed is a psychopath."


    "He''s crazy." Dino cursed prince Ahmed.


    "A psychopath is very anti-social and tends to be introverted. A psychopath can fall deeply in love." Raline gave her response as a doctor. "He believes he is doing this to make Ananya happy."


    "Means?" Dino did not understand Raline''s words.


    "If the prince is as crazy as Bara said, then he is very dangerous. He will not stop here. A person with psychopathic tendencies can fall in love. Unfortunately, their form of love for others is perceived as "different" and tends to be dysfunctional. Psychologically, with a psychopathic tendency to focus more on self-satisfaction. In fact, in every human relationship, understanding is needed from both parties to exchange empathy. This is due to a state of impaired brain function in terms of self-processing. He has difficulty giving meaning to a romantic relationship. Prince Ahmed will stop if he sees Dino at his lowest point. He still blames Dino for Ananya''s death. The point is he doesn''t like seeing Dino happy because he feels Dino snatched his happiness."


    Dino could only stroke his chest, hearing Raline''s response as a doctor. For some reason, Dino thought of Rere and felt bad.


    "Bar, call Rere. I have a bad hunch," Dino trembled.


    Bara took the cell phone and called Rere, but got no answer.


    "She did not answer."


    The ringing of Bara''s cell phone caught everyone''s attention. The man immediately picked up the call from his wife.


    "Bar, Rere is missing," Dila broke out in cold sweat.


    "What? Stop joking, honey." Bara could not believe his wife''s words.


    "Do I look like I''m joking? I came back from the supermarket. Rere wasn''t in the room. The nurse said Rere had not come home yet. The administration hasn''t issued a warrant to go home."


    "Oh god." Bara was shocked.


    "Rere." Dino got up from the bed but screamed in pain because he had just finished surgery. He couldn''t stand up yet. The gunshot wound to his leg hasn''t healed yet.


    "Dino, don''t move yet. You haven''t recovered yet." Dian helped Dino lie down on the bed.


    "I''ll call Jimmy, boss. We have to file a police report on Rere''s disappearance." Dian looked at Bara.


    Everyone in the room was shocked. Raline stroked her distended stomach. She was shocked to hear the news about Rere.


    "I don''t think you should report it to the police yet. Rere hasn''t been missing for twenty-four hours," Kevan looks panicked and thinks about how to save Rere.


    "Please save Rere," Dino looked at Diann expectantly. "I don''t want to lose my wife for the second time. If I wasn''t hurt, I might be the one looking for her."


    "No, calm down. You''re not alone." Bara encouraged Dino.


    ****


    "Let me go." Rere rebelled when two men dressed in black dragged her onto the helicopter.


    Dila said goodbye to buying food at the supermarket, leaving her alone. While packing her clothes, two people entered the treatment room. They drugged Rere until she passed out.


    Rere doesn''t know where she is now. They are on the beach. She was sure she was not in Indonesia.


    "Move," The two men who kidnapped her force Rere into a helicopter. They will take them to their boss''s place.


    The helicopter departs for its destination. Rere was confused because she couldn''t ask for help. She was terrified.


    "Where are you taking me?" Rere asked in a trembling voice.


    "You''ll find out later."


    "I want to go home. I want to meet my kids." Rere whined.


    "None of our business."


    "You guys are cruel."


    "It is our job."


    Rere shivered in fear. Her body shook violently. She had goosebumps at the thought of those two men killing her."


    "Let go of me. I''ll give you the money. How much you want," Rere tried to negotiate.


    "We don''t need your money. We know you are rich, but we are loyal to our boss."


    "Let me go. If you let me go. I will never forget your services."


    "Don''t talk too much. Shut up, or we''ll drug you."


    "Fine, I''ll be quiet." Rere couldn''t talk to the two kidnappers. Better to be silent than to be sedated. Rere was afraid that the two men would hurt her when she passed out. She was afraid those people would sexually harass her.


    A helicopter carrying them landed in a field of green grass. Rere was brought down. They let go of Rere''s handcuffs. The two kidnappers were sure that Rere couldn''t escape because they were on this island. Access to the island is very difficult. They use helicopters as transportation.

 Chapter 125 - The Princes Prison

    "Where is this?" Rere followed the two kidnappers.


    "You are in a small town in Malaka Channel."


    "What?" Rere was shocked with wide eyes. What do you want?"


    "Our boss wants you."


    "Who''s he?"


    "You''ll find out later."


    "Who?"


    "Don''t talk too much. Otherwise, we''ll drug you."


    "Always threatening to do drugs. Damn you guys."


    "So shut up!"


    Rere gulped, seeing the anger of the two kidnappers. Rere grimaced and moaned pitifully. Suddenly in a strange place and with strangers too.


    Both grabbed Rere''s hand, but she refused. I don''t want another man to touch her.


    "I can walk by myself."


    "Good." The man gave a thumbs up. He looked scary in Rere''s eyes. The voices of the two kidnappers shook and shattered her bones. They are like the mafia in a Western movie that Rere has seen. If they were as handsome as Massimo, the mobster in 365 Days, maybe Rere wouldn''t be so scared.


    A luxurious gate was clearly visible in Rere''s eyes. Two guards were seen at the entrance. They wore black uniforms, just like the two kidnappers.


    Two kidnappers show their ID cards to guards. After the inspection is complete. The two of them entered with Rere.


    "Do not touch me!" snapped Rere as the two thugs pulled her in.


    Rere''s eyes widened at the sight of a luxurious mansion in a place like this. Isn''t this a remote island in the Malaka Channel?


    Rere continued to walk towards the mansion. The architecture of the building is like a European empire. Dominated by brown color. Rere was flabbergasted to see this place being so tightly guarded. There are guards on every side. They are like mannequins in a clothing store. They stood still, not moving. Rere looked at the lavender garden. The purple color adorns the garden, pampering the eyes. The smell pierced the nose.


    "Where is this?" Rere asked again.


    "Shut up. Later you will know."


    Rere saw a man dressed in all white with his back to him. The man was picking lavender flowers and inhaling the scent greedily.


    "Your Majesty, we are coming," the kidnapper greeted the man in white.


    The man turned around. Rere was shocked and almost fell if one of the kidnappers didn''t hold her.


    "Prince Ahmed," Rere said quietly.


    "Hi Rere," said Prince Ahmed, friendly as if nothing had happened. He cracked a smile.


    Rere stepped back. Prince Ahmed''s smile scared her. She knew that Prince Ahmed had a mental disorder. He is a psychopath.


    "Why, Re? Why are you scared? Do not be afraid. I won''t hurt you. Calm down." Prince Ahmed was about to touch her, but Rere pushed his hand away.


    "Do not touch me!"


    "Don''t be too fierce. I can be fiercer than you," said Prince Ahmed coldly.


    The man''s gaze dropped Rere''s mentality. Her heart beat faster. Rere looked down, not daring to look at Prince Ahmed. She knew her life was in danger. Prince Ahmed cruelly hunted her, so the truth about Ananya''s murder case was not revealed.


    "Do not be afraid. I''m just taking you out to dinner. After that, you will be taken home."


    "You''re taking me home? Deliver me in the form of a corpse," Rere''s hands clenched into fists. Even though she was afraid, she had to confront Prince Ahmed.


    "Don''t think badly of me, Re. I didn''t mean to do it. I''ve become a good person," Prince Ahmed laughed amusedly.


    "If you want to have a nice talk with me. Why kidnap me?"


    "You wouldn''t want to be invited to dinner nicely."


    "What do you want, Your Highness?" Rere called him ''Your Highness'' to flatter Prince Ahmed.


    "You are not my people. There is no need to call me Your Highness. Think of me as your friend. Leave us!" Prince Ahmed chases away the two kidnappers who took Rere.


    "Please have a seat, Re." Prince Ahmed invited Rere to sit down. Various food and drinks are available on the table. Prince Ahmed is relaxing in the garden, gazing at the purple garden.


    "Drink," Prince Ahmed gives Rere a drink.


    "Thank you. I''m not thirsty." Rere refused subtly.


    "There is no poison in this drink. Fine, I''ll prove it to you." Prince Ahmed drank his drink to the end. "I''m still alive, aren''t I?"


    Rere ignored Prince Ahmed. She wrung her clothes out of nervousness and fear.


    Her hands were wet with sweat. She was so terrified to talk to Prince Ahmed.


    "Relax, Rere. There''s no need to be afraid."


    "Your Highness, what do you want? Why brought me here? We do not know each other."


    "Ha ha ha ha." Prince Ahmed laughed at Rere''s rant. "You said you don''t know me? You''re weird, Rere. You know who I am."


    "Your Highness. You are a prince. Who doesn''t know you? I study in KL. Your face always appeared in infotainment."


    "I feel honored to hear your words."


    "Why Your Highness? What made you bring me here. I don''t know you personally. I never bothered you."


    "Rere," Prince Ahmed called out to Rere gently.


    Instead of being happy, Rere was even more scared. The man''s gaze was extremely mischievous and savage. She doesn''t know what''s on his mind. Prince Ahmed could have done something bad to her like...


    Rere shook her head, not wanting something bad in her mind to happen. She closed her eyes. Pray for Dino to save her soon. She did not feel at home and was afraid to meet Prince Ahmed.


    "Why, Re? There is something wrong?"


    "Why did Your Highness kidnap me?" Rere was crying out of fear.


    "Cup¡­.cup¡­.cup¡­Don''t cry, Rere." Prince Ahmed approached her then stroked Rere''s hair.


    "Don''t come near me."


    "Why? Afraid of me?" Prince Ahmed laughed amusedly. He didn''t think that Rere was so afraid of him.


    "Give me back to my family. I''m sick, Your Highness. I just miscarried."


    "What? Miscarriage?" Prince Ahmed was shocked to hear the news. Prince Ahmed only asked Reyhan to terrorize Dino. Didn''t expect Reyhan to do anything outside of his orders. Prince Ahmed tried to hide his shock.


    "If I may know why you miscarried?" Prince Ahmed asked.


    "Someone beat me when I came home from work ."


    "Hit?"


    "A motorbike overtook my car. I accidentally bumped into him. I got out of the car to see the man. I''m afraid he died on the spot. When I got close, he beat me until I passed out. He hit me blindly. He killed my baby. Our innocent child becomes victims of his barbarity," Rere cried, remembering the incident of her abuse.


    "I''m sorry for the loss of your baby."


    "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Rere tried to speak calmly and kindly. She remembers that psychopathic men are fought with gentleness, not violence. Even though Prince Ahmed is a psychopath and has no sense of caring and empathy. He will become a good person if he gets proper treatment.


    "You''re too naive, Re ." Prince Ahmed laughed heartily. The man was exasperated by Rere''s innocence.


    "Anything funny, Your Highness?" Ree was confused.


    "I did it," said the man, smiling sarcastically.


    "What?" Rere got up from the chair and moved away from prince Ahmed.


    "Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed prevented Rere.


    "You are ruthless, Your Highness," Rere wept bitterly.


    "I didn''t know you were pregnant. If only I had known, I probably wouldn''t have sent my men to you. Dino doesn''t deserve to be HAPPY! HE TOOK ALL MY HAPPINESS!"


    Rere''s heart pumped faster.


    Prince Ahmed''s voice boomed through the sky.


    Rere''s body suddenly went limp. She knew Prince Ahmed was furious.


    Rere didn''t budge. Her body could not be moved. Her legs were shaking. Cold sweat dripped from her body.


    "Why? Afraid of me?" Prince Ahmed looked at Rere intimidatingly. He even gripped Rere''s chin roughly.


    Rere couldn''t say anything as the tears rolled down her face. She was frightened. Rere prayed that an angel would help her get out of this place. What dream did she have last night to meet someone like Prince Ahmed?


    "Why are you silent? Speak!" Prince Ahmed shouted in Rere''s ear.


    Rere started crying again. She was so scared that she cried silently. The body felt torn apart and split in two at the sound of Prince Ahmed''s loud voice. This is the first time Rere has met someone as scary as Prince Ahmed. The prince''s face was handsome, but he was a cold-blooded killer.


    "Why do you always come to save Dino? You shouldn''t have seen Ananya''s death!"


    "It was fate, not my fault."


    "Why did you save Dino at the bar? You shouldn''t have interfered, Rere. You care too much about other people."


    "I know him, so I helped him that night."


    "You shouldn''t have helped him. Let Dino crumble. He has stolen the woman I love. He doesn''t deserve to be happy because he took my happiness away. Ananya is the first woman who touched my heart. Dino snatched it and married my woman."


    "Your Highness, love can not be forced."


    "To hell with all that. I don''t want what''s mine to be taken away!"

 Chapter 126 - Love May Not Always Keep Us Together

    "Then what does Your Highness want?" Rere challenged Prince Ahmed.


    "Why are you so passionate?"


    "I am not, Your Highness." Rere tried to contain her anger. She remembered Prince Ahmed''s emotions can''t be controlled. Rere remembers her favorite drama scene about a psychopathic person. People with disorders like Prince Ahmed should not be made nervous. Psychopaths lack empathy and compassion for others.


    "Then why did you challenge me?"


    "I''m not challenging you." Rere took a deep breath. She walked around the lavender garden, inhaling the aromatic lavender scent. Rere was thinking of a way to trick prince Ahmed and fled from there.


    "It seems that you''ve changed your mind," Prince Ahmed was sarcastic. He laughed in amusement, seeing Rere''s change of behavior. At first, she was scared but after that, she calmed down.


    "What should I do?" Rere involuntarily cried. The tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Why are you crying?" Prince Ahmed was moved to see Rere''s tears.


    "How could I not cry? Your Highness kidnapped me. I was forced to separate from my husband and my two children. How could I not be sad? I don''t know Your Highness personally. I did not hurt you, Your Highness. Why did you do this to me? What did Dino do to you?"


    "How many times do I have to tell you? Dino took my happiness away. He snatched Ananya from my side," Prince Ahmed is irritated remembering his one-sided love.


    "He was not stealing. Ananya chose Dino because she loves him. They love each other so they got married. Your Highness should not torture him because of your one-sided love. Love doesn''t need to be forced because the heart always finds its owner."


    "What do you know about love?"


    "I know because love has touched my heart." Rere touched his chest.


    "Don''t glorify love if your relationship started from a mistake. I know you were pregnant out of wedlock. You spent one night together so you got pregnant. You married for children and not for love. Don''t ever teach me what LOVE is!"


    "Okay, I was wrong. I was presumptuous." Rere looked down. Not daring to meet Prince Ahmed''s eyes.


    "Why don''t you dare to look at me?"


    "Shouldn''t the people not be looking directly at the Prince''s face?"


    "You''re not my people. So there''s no need to act like you''re my people."


    "I can''t, Your Highness."


    "Go inside. Get ready to accompany me to dinner." Prince Ahmed signaled two maids to take Rere to her room and get dressed.


    The two servants took Rere away.


    "Let me go." Rere didn''t like being dragged.


    "Don''t fight us, madam. You just do what Prince Ahmed wants. If you fight, he will kill you," said one of the servants, making Rere shudder.


    Rere was forced to follow Prince Ahmed''s will. Rere was brought into the majestic palace. This place is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Magnificent and luxurious. It''s not a mansion like Rere thought. The two waiters looked very friendly. They respected Rere then brought her upstairs. The maid uses the card to open the door.


    "Please come in, madam," he said politely.


    "What''s your name?" Rere spoke with a Malay accent. For some reason, she was impressed by the two maids. She was a prisoner but their treatment was very good.


    "I''m Alya."


    "What about you?" Rere looked at the other maid.


    "I''m Sabrina."


    "Sabrina, Alya." Rere looked at the two with pleading eyes.


    "We can''t help you. We''ll die if we do that," Sabrina answered quickly.


    Rere was hopeless. She wanted to cry out loud, roaring at the blank wall. Rere slumped to the floor as she entered the room. She cried, hugging her feet. Thinking of a way to get out of this place. What are Dino, Leon, and Hanin doing? Rere vented her emotions by crying, feeling that she will never meet her family again.


    "Come on, madam. You''d better take a shower and get ready for dinner." Alya looked at her sadly.


    "You think I can still eat in this condition?" Rere looked at Alya sarcastically.


    "No one can save you. Your Highness will not let you go. No one can escape from this place. If you force your way, Prince Ahmed will not hesitate to kill you. No one can get out of this place alive. Your Highness has no heart. You messed with the wrong person," Sabrina blamed Rere instead.


    "Who wants to know and deal with that crazy prince?" Rere erupted.


    "Watch your words, madam. You have abused our prince. You could be put to death for cursing Your Highness."


    "You are not in my position to say that, Sabrina. You can say that because you are Your Highness''s servant."


    "Madam, you should take a shower." Alya tried to lighten the mood. She doesn''t want the dispute between Rere and Sabrina to continue.


    "I don''t want to," Rere quickly refused


    "Don''t make Your Highness angry. If you are late, don''t blame me if something bad happens to you. It is a warning." Alya gave an understanding.


    Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. Rere was silent and froze on the spot. Her gaze was blank. Rere had never felt anything like this before. Even though Prince Ahmed hasn''t done anything to her, Rere was sure that the prince has ulterior motives.


    "Follow me, madam. We will help you clean yourself." Alya gave Rere a towel.


    Rere took the towel, feeling irritated. She walked towards the bathroom Alya showed her.


    "Why are you so nice to her?" Sabrina asked when Rere was in the bathroom.


    "I think His Majesty wouldn''t harm her. If Your Highness had wanted to kill her, he would have done so since the woman came."


    "I think she''s Dino''s new wife."


    "Then, why did His Majesty bring him here?"


    "Who knows?" Sabrina shrugged. "We can''t guess what our prince is thinking."


    Instead of taking a bath, Rere was looking for how to escape from this place. She climbed up and opened the bathroom window. There is nothing other than an ocean in front of her. This place is almost the same as the island she visited with Dino during her honeymoon.


    Rere took a deep breath. She felt uncomfortable being imprisoned in a place like this. She can''t be separated from Dino, Leon, and Hanin.


    "Dino, Bara, help me out of this place," Rere sobbed in despair. "You have to find me quickly. Don''t let him kill me."


    "Madam, have you finished your bath?" Alya knocked on the bathroom door.


    Rere threw the soap on the floor annoyedly. She turned on the tap as if she was taking a shower.


    "Hurry up, Madame. Your Majesty doesn''t like waiting," Alya reminded.


    Rere rushed to take a shower. There''s no way to escape from this place. She didn''t want to die because of her stupidity. She had to think about how to trick Prince Ahmed to let her go.


    *****


    Bara, Dila, and Dian are checking CCTV at the hospital around Rere''s room. They growled in annoyance that the CCTV where Rere was kidnapped was broken. The CCTV doesn''t work at all.


    "I think he broke the CCTV before kidnapping Rere," Bara brushed his hair annoyedly.


    "I am more convinced that the perpetrator of Rere''s kidnapping is Prince Ahmed," Dian said quietly.


    "Why are you so sure?" Bara was unsure about that.


    "That man also sent


    Reyhan."


    "Bastard!" Bara hit the table. The hospital security officer was shocked to see Bara''s wrath. They shuddered in horror because they knew who Bara was and what his job was.


    "Calm down, Bar," Dila warned her husband.


    "How can I? If the kidnapper is really Prince Ahmed then Rere''s life is in danger. The prince could kill Rere at any moment. If Rere dies. Leon will suffer the same fate as Hanin. Dino loses his wife for the second time. Dino''s condition is also unstable. He is still weak from the incident."


    "I know. It''s my fault, if only I didn''t leave Rere, maybe she wouldn''t be a victim of kidnapping. Just blame me for being hungry because I''m pregnant." Dila scolds Bara. Because of her pregnancy, she is more sensitive.


    Bara massaged his temples. Forgot about his wife''s condition.


    "Come on, don''t make a fuss. Either way, we''re going to ask Jimmy for help," Dian said.


    The woman contacted Jimmy, a state intelligence officer. Although Jimmy initially refused, thanks to Dian''s persuasion, the man was willing to help


    them.


    Bara also called his friend Prince Syehzade from Brunei. When Bara called him, Prince Syehzade had just finished his dinner with his wife. Prince Shehzade''s assistant approached the prince, holding a cell phone. Only Prince Syehzade''s family and close friends can call his private number. Bara is one of them since he is close to him. The prince could not forget Bara''s help to his wife.


    "Bara called His Majesty."


    Prince Syehzade snatched the cell phone from the assistant''s hand. Bara will not call if it is not important. Bara knows how busy he is so he won''t mince words.

 Chapter 127 - Wheres My Wife?

    Bara also called his friend Prince Syehzade from Brunei. When Bara called him, Prince Syehzade had just finished his dinner with his wife. Prince Shehzade''s assistant approached the prince, holding a cell phone. Only Prince Syehzade''s family and close friends can call his private number. Bara is one of them since he is close to him. The prince could not forget Bara''s help to his wife.


    "Bara called His Majesty."


    Prince Syehzade snatched the cell phone from the assistant''s hand. Bara will not call if it is not important. Bara knows how busy he is so he won''t mince words.


    "What''s up, Bar?"


    "Bro, I will just say it directly, I need your help," Bara spoke.


    "Relax, bro. Tell me what happened."


    "My sister was kidnapped. I suspect Prince Ahmed as the culprit. Previously, he ordered his people and caused my sister to miscarry."


    "What?" Prince Shehzade was also surprised. "That crazy prince is always looking for trouble. Can you help me communicate with the royals? I don''t think Prince Ahmed is in prison. He''s just been exiled to an island."


    "Fine, I''ll find out about this, Bar. I''ll ask the spies in the country to find out about this."


    "Sorry for always bothering you."


    "Relax. I''ll try to help us as much as I can."


    "Thanks."


    Prince Shehzade gave his cell phone to the assistant.


    "Contact our spies to find Prince Ahmed''s whereabouts!" Prince Shehzade gave the order.


    ******


    Dino was grumpy in the treatment room. He tried to contact Rere but got no answer. Rere''s phone is dead. The operator is the one who spoke instead of Rere.


    "What''s wrong, boss?" Tom asked. They were in one room because of Dino''s request.


    "I can''t reach Rere''s phone."


    "Maybe her phone runs out of battery."


    "This is weird, Tom. Rere''s never been like this. I have a bad hunch. It feels like something bad happened to my wife."


    "Don''t be paranoid, boss."


    Dino and Tom''s attention was distracted by Bara''s arrival. Dino looked at Bara with unsteady steps. Bara looked tired.


    "Bar, what''s wrong?" Dino caught something wrong.


    Bara was silent, ignoring Dino''s question.


    "Rere isn''t picking up my calls. Where is she? Rere isn''t usually like this. Where''s my wife?"


    "No, sorry," Bara said with a lowered face.


    "Bar, don''t scare me. What''s wrong with Rere?"


    "Rere disappeared. She was kidnapped."


    "WHAT!? Dino got up from the bed even though his legs still hurt.


    Dino grabbed Bara''s collar


    , "stop playing with me, Bar."


    "Do I look like I''m joking?"


    Dino lay weakly on the floor. Hoping what he heard was just a joke.


    Bara helped and brought Dino to sit on the sofa.


    "You have to save Rere. I believe Prince Ahmed was the culprit. Reyhan was sent by that crazy prince," Dino clenched his fists tightly. His eyes gleamed with vengeance on Prince Ahmed.


    "Calm down."


    "How can I calm down? Rere is in danger. I don''t want to lose my wife for the second time. That damn prince!" Dino was furious.


    "Boss, we have to meet Reyhan. I think he knows where Prince Ahmed is." Tom spoke.


    Dino and Tom forced themselves out of the hospital. They are so strong even though they''ve just had surgery.


    They fled without the doctor''s knowledge. Bara, Dino, and Tom went to the hospital where Reyhan was being treated. The man was still weak. Reyhan lost both of his legs due to the bite of the piranha.


    Bara talks to the police who are guarding Reyhan. Reyhan''s eyes narrowed. He was shocked when he realized that his legs were gone. Both thighs were wrapped in white bandages. The man raged. Roughly pull out the IV until his hand bleeds. He was annoyed. Dino should have been eaten by a piranha, not him.


    "Why the uproar?" Dino''s voice interrupted.


    Reyhan was shocked. He wanted to run away, but he has no legs anymore. Reyhan even fell off the bed.


    Dino came closer and grabbed Reyhan''s cheek.


    "Where''s my wife?" Dino''s eyes bulged.


    "I do not know." Rey is shaking. Losing a leg made him lose his nerve.


    "Say it!" Bara insisted.


    "I do not know."


    "Reyhan, all your life you''ve always been a bad person. At least do one good thing for me." Dino tried to calmly invite Reyhan to talk from heart to heart. "I love my wife very much. I don''t want anything to happen to her. I would never forget your kindness if you help me now."


    "I do not know," Reyhan answered loudly.


    "Please¡­.. Just try to be a good person this time. Maybe one good deed you do now can erase your past sins. I have never begged others, but for the sake of my wife, I am willing to lower my pride. If Rere is with Prince Ahmed, her life is in danger."


    "It is none of my business," Reyhan said curtly. His words resulted in a blow from Bara.


    "Say it quickly!" Tom joined in. The man was irritated by Reyhan''s behavior.


    "Bar, Tom. Don''t hit him. As bad as humans are, there must be a good side," Dino said with teary eyes. He couldn''t imagine his life without Rere. Losing Ananya turned his world upside down, let alone losing Rere.


    "I don''t know exactly where Prince Ahmed is. He''s not in prison. He''s just a royal exile. He lives on an island but I don''t know exactly where." Reyhan finally spoke after seeing Dino''s sincerity. Reyhan''s heart was stirred at the man''s love.


    "That means Rere is not in this country?"


    Reyhan shook his head. They left Reyhan after getting a clue.


    Prince Syehzade''s team has already informed Rere and Prince Ahmed''s whereabouts. Rere has indeed been kidnapped and taken to Prince Ahmed''s exile.


    Thanks to Prince Syehzade''s diplomacy and connections, they find Rere easily. Bara, Dino, and Tom immediately left for KL. Prince Syehzade also sent a private jet for them. Within hours they were in KL. Bara is feeling Deja vu. He had been in Dino''s position when Dila was kidnapped while they were on vacation on the island of Rottnest. Bara still remembers when Dila was kidnapped. The perpetrator was a gay man, Egi, his ex-lover. Bara used to be gay and changed when he married Dila. How exasperating he was when he was looking for his wife and afraid something will happen to his wife. Bara understands what Dino is feeling now.


    Even though Dino and Tom haven''t fully recovered, they are trying to be strong and striving. They set off for Prince Ahmed''s residence. Dino wants to help save Rere. After all, Rere is his responsibility.


    They come with Prince Syehzade''s team. The future king of Brunei has even sent an envoy to Prince Ahmed''s father.


    "Please go up." One of Prince Syehzade''s bodyguards invited them to board the helicopter. There is only one access to Prince Ahmed''s palace as it is in the Malacca Strait. They dress like the police with all black clothes and bulletproof vests.


    "Thank you," said Dino with a worried expression.


    "Ready?" The pilot gives the signal. They came in five helicopters. They split the team so they could sneak in. The strategy has been carefully planned.


    Dino''s hands were shaking and sweating. The man is still traumatized by Prince Ahmed''s crimes. He never thought that Prince Ahmed would make him a personal rival. He hoped he wouldn''t be too late. They must arrive quickly to save Rere.


    "Calm down, No." Bara patted his brother-in-law''s shoulder.


    "I can''t, Bar. I''m afraid something will happen to Rere. I don''t want to lose my wife a second time."


    "Rere, it will be safe. Believe me. Prince Shehzade is helping us. Everything is alright."


    "I love Rere, Bar," Dino held back his tears because he was embarrassed to cry.


    "I know that you love Rere. I know." Just trying to calm down.


    "What...¡­"


    "Calm down, boss. What we fear will happen if we are too paranoid. I''m sure your wife will be safe. Prince Ahmed can''t decide death but God. Not a single leaf will fall if it is not for God''s will." Tom calmed his boss down.


    *****


    Prince Ahmed ordered Sabrina and Alya to help Rere dressed. Rere was sullen. There was no happiness radiating from her face because she was forced to do this. It''s not dinner that Rere wants, but going home to meet her husband and child. Rere wore a black dress from the ''Balenciago'' brand. The woman was elegant and charming. Even though her face is unhappy, it doesn''t diminish her beauty.


    Alya and Sabrina took Rere to the Rooftop. Rere shuddered to see Prince Ahmed staring at him intently. The man smirked slyly. One table and two chairs were arranged neatly. The food is already on the table. A5 Wagyu beef steak, UNI, Caviar, truffle mushroom pasta, and lobster. An aromatherapy candle was burnt on the table.


    Prince Ahmed gulped when he saw Rere''s arrival. Somehow he seemed to see Ananya. The woman walked gracefully toward him despite being depressed and scared.


    The man gasped and felt deja vu. His heart beat faster. It felt like he met Ananya instead of Rere. Rere''s charm shifted his world.

 Chapter 128 - Dejavu

    Prince Ahmed ordered Sabrina and Alya to help Rere dressed. Rere was sullen. There was no happiness radiating from her face because she was forced to do this. It''s not dinner that Rere wants, but going home to meet her husband and child. Rere wore a black dress from the ''Balenciago'' brand. The woman was elegant and charming. Even though her face is unhappy, it doesn''t diminish her beauty.


    Alya and Sabrina took Rere to the Rooftop. Rere shuddered to see Prince Ahmed staring at him intently. The man smirked slyly. One table and two chairs were arranged neatly. The food is already on the table. A5 Wagyu beef steak, UNI, Caviar, truffle mushroom pasta, and lobster. An aromatherapy candle was burnt on the table.


    Prince Ahmed gulped when he saw Rere''s arrival. Somehow he seemed to see Ananya. The woman walked gracefully toward him despite being depressed and scared.


    The man gasped and felt deja vu. His heart beat faster. It felt like he met Ananya instead of Rere. Rere''s charm shifted his world.


    Prince Ahmed invited Rere to sit down. Rere was holding a fork and knife. Actually, she did not have an appetite, but she did not want to make the prince angry. Rere remembered her conversation with Alya.


    "Can you help me get out of here? I will give you a lot of money if you help me," Rere negotiated with Alya.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to help you, but there''s no chance of escaping from here. This place is heavily guarded. Nobody can escape from here. My life is more valuable than your money. If I help you and get caught. Not only will I be punished, but my family will also suffer. His Majesty will definitely find my family and give them the death penalty. We had signed the contract that if we do something wrong and harm the royal family, then the servant''s family will also receive punishment. I''m sorry if I disappointed you." Alya bowed her head respectfully. Actually, Alya feels sorry for Rere but her life will be in danger if she helps the woman.


    Rere looked down languidly. Her face was gloomy. There is no hope of escape. Everyone in the palace sided with Prince Ahmed. Rere wept bitterly. She felt a tightness in her chest. Why did fate play with her?


    "Don''t cry, ma''am. Wipe away your tears. If Sabrina finds out, she will report this to Your Highness. My advice, don''t fight the prince. Follow everything he says. Only by obeying and stalling for time can you survive this place. I am sure that your family will not be silent. They must be looking for you. Remember the status of your husband in this country. He''s one of the richest people in the country. He is a public figure and has a big influence. Just be nice to Your Highness. If His Majesty wanted to kill you, he might have been done so long ago. You get a special treatment from His Highness."


    Rere understood Alya''s words. She also tried to think and plan a strategy so that Prince Ahmed would not harm her. However, she remembered the prince''s words. He wouldn''t let Dino be happy for snatching Ananya from him.


    Rere choked. She tried to be strong and not scared of Prince Ahmed. The look in the man''s eyes was completely different. Rere looked down, not daring to look at the Prince.


    "Why are you silent?" Prince Ahmed was friendly.


    "I don''t know what to talk to Your Highness about," Rere replied quietly in a choked voice.


    "Is it true?" Prince Ahmed smiled. He thought Rere would fight him. Even though the man had devised a plan to shoot Rere when the woman was angry and went violent. Rere''s sweet demeanor impressed him.


    "I am a prisoner here, Your Highness. Do I have the power?" Rere looked up at Prince Ahmed.


    "You seem self-conscious." Prince Ahmed was sarcastic, not praising.


    "Of course I am, Your Highness. I will not win against you. You are the prince of a great kingdom in this country. Let alone fight, I wouldn''t even dare to look at you. Where did this courage come from?"


    "Aren''t you one of the rich Tycoons in your country?"


    "But I am not as rich and powerful as you, Your Highness," Rere spoke as she cut the Wagyu meat and put it in her mouth.


    "You praise me too much," Prince Ahmed smiled mysteriously.


    "I never praise anyone else, Your Highness. Since childhood, I have been rich and arrogant."


    "It turns out that you are very pleasant, Ananya."


    "Ananya?" Rere''s body shook violently. Her soul is shaken at being called Ananya.


    Prince Ahmed could not hide his laughter. For some reason, he really liked the expression on Rere''s face. The woman was frightened and trembling. Seeing Rere''s face made him excited. Prince Ahmed wanted to pinch those cheeks but Rere didn''t want to be touched.


    As a prince, Ahmed had wives and concubines, but he loved none of them. He married them only for the sake of the kingdom. It was the dynasty''s demand. He made love to his wife and concubines but only to satisfy his lust. He never did it for love.


    Prince Ahmed was obsessed with Ananya. It was love at first sight. Ananya''s smile and words caught his heart. Prince Ahmed tried to approach Ananya as a wife. Prince Ahmed even paid producers so Ananya could play the lead role. He then founded the Production House to keep in touch with Ananya.


    Prince Ahmed was frustrated when Ananya said that she had a boyfriend and was getting married. The prince was heartbroken. He went on a rampage in his palace and abused his wife. The man boldly mentions Ananya''s name when having sex with his wives. The prince''s wife was devastated and hurt. Unable to suffer in the marriage anymore, Prince Ahmed''s wife asked for a divorce.


    The royal family already knew and learned the prince''s character. Since childhood, he has suffered from mental disorders. If his stuff was taken, Prince Ahmed did not hesitate to injure his opponent even though it was his own brother. Prince Ahmed''s relationship with his younger brothers and cousins ??was bad. When Prince Ahmed is implicated in Ananya''s assassination, they joined hands to dethrone him. His father and mother knew Prince Ahmed''s behavior, but they were blinded by love and always protected the prince. Her father and mother also know that Prince Ahmed is the mastermind behind Ananya''s death. Actually, Prince Ahmed wanted to kill Dino but was misled. He was angry with Dino. Dino should have used the car, not Ananya.


    The grudge continues. Prince Ahmed felt that Dino had robbed him of his happiness. Dino had snatched Ananya from his side. Why did Dino have to exchange cars with Ananya? Prince Ahmed still blamed Dino for everything. Until now, he had not moved on from Ananya, although Dino was already happy with Rere. Dino should have suffered as much as him and felt the pain of loss.


    Prince Ahmed didn''t want Dino to be happy with his new life.


    "Why are you scared?" Prince Ahmed mocked Rere.


    "Why did you call me Ananya?" Rere got up from the chair and moved away from him.


    "Dino has snatched Ananya from me. What happens to Dino if I snatch his sweet wife from him? You''ll become mine, becoming my wife. You are going to replace Ananya''s place in my heart!" Prince Ahmed smirked. He approached Rere.


    "Don''t be crazy, Your Highness," Rere fell because she tripped.


    Prince Ahmed reached out to help Rere up, but Rere pushed his hand away.


    "Let me help you," Prince Ahmed gave a sweet smile.


    "Please get away from me..."


    "DINO MUST FEEL WHAT I FEEL! HE HAD TO FEEL HOW IT FELT WHEN HIS BELOVED ONE WAS SNATCHED AWAY FROM HIM!"


    Rere was shaking and frightened. The man''s eyes were full of anger and vengeance. Dino is not to blame. Ananya and Dino love each other. They married for love. Hanin is proof of Dino and Ananya''s love. Prince Ahmed is mad because he is frustrated by his one sided love. He does not understand the true notion of love.


    "Dino isn''t wrong. They love each other, Your Highness. How long have you been holding grudges in your heart? Will you be happy after taking revenge? No, isn''t it?" Rere sobbed.


    "You defended him because he was your husband. You are stupid! He married you only for the sake of your child. You are just a tool to give him a child. Stupid girl!" Prince Ahmed cursed Rere.


    "I don''t care what you think about my husband. I know him. I know what''s in his heart." Rere got up and wiped her tears. Her emotions exploded.


    "I''m touched to hear that," the prince mocked her again.


    Rere tried to escape, but Prince Ahmed''s bodyguard stopped her. She bit his hand and kicked the guard in the groin.


    "Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed put his hand on his hips.

 Chapter 129 - Why Ananya?

    Rere tried to escape, but Prince Ahmed''s bodyguard stopped her. She bit his hand and kicked the guard in the groin.


    "Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed put his hand on his hips.


    Rere was shaking and shivering. She couldn''t hold herself back anymore when the man called her ''Ananya''. She didn''t want to be the man''s tool to vent his frustration. The man still has a grudge against Dino, which meant Prince Ahmed had planned something bad for her. Rere''s mind screamed, hoping someone can help her escape from that place. The possibility is definitely there even if it''s small. Rere usually yields, but she is optimistic now. She still has some hope.


    Rere couldn''t go down the stairs because Prince Ahmed''s bodyguards were there. She hid behind a pile of unused items that were deliberately placed there. There was a special room for the storage of goods on the rooftop. She hid there even though the chances of being found were big.


    "Where are you going, Rere?" Prince Ahmed laughed earnestly.


    "You won''t be able to leave. You and Ananya have a lot in common. Be a good girl and be my wife, Rere. Leave Dino. I will love your child as my own child," Prince Ahmed said sweetly but it sounded like a curse in Rere''s ears.


    "Find her!" Prince Ahmed ordered his guards.


    Two men dressed in black walked around the rooftop looking for Rere. They smiled happily at Rere''s back. They grabbed Rere and took her to Prince Ahmed.


    "Let me go!" Rere rebelled.


    "Where are you going, honey?" Prince Ahmed tried to touch Rere, but Rere pushed his hand away.


    Rere refused Prince Ahmed''s touch. Her chest rumbled with anger. Why was he so crazy and ambitious?


    "Don''t be so fierce, dear. Why are you so fierce? I like a tender woman, not a grumpy one like you."


    "I don''t want you to touch me."


    Prince Ahmed put his arm around Rere and took her to see the stars in the sky. The sky is very clear making them get a clear view of the star. Prince Ahmed grabbed Rere from behind and pushed her. He only threatened her, not pushed her down. The man pressed Rere''s neck so the woman looked down at the height. Rere shuddered.


    Rere''s heart seemed to stop beating when she looked down. This palace is very high. If prince Ahmed throws her from here, she will definitely die.


    "You see below there?" Prince Ahmed spoke loudly.


    The night wind pierced Rere''s skin. The woman was helpless. She cried and hoped that help would come soon.


    "Save me, Dino. If this is really the end of my life, at least I want to see your face before I close my eyes," Rere whispered inside her heart.


    "Beg me not to kill you."


    Rere didn''t move to heed Prince Ahmed''s words. Besides her tears, there is no answer to the man''s question. She hoped this was just a dream, not a reality!


    "Answer me! Begging me to let you go!" Prince Ahmed grabbed Rere''s hair. "Don''t make me angry!"


    "Your Highness, please forgive me," Rere said at last. She saw the helicopter from afar. She was sure the helicopter came to save her. Rere racked her brains to buy some time.


    "Very nice," Prince Ahmed let go of his grip on Rere''s hair and dragged Rere to sit on the chair where they had eaten.


    Prince Ahmed helped Rere sit down and put a napkin around her neck. The man even fed Rere a Wagyu A5 steak. Although her throat was bitter, Rere tried to swallow the food. She still has some hope. Someone will save her.


    "Why are you stubborn? There is no need to resort to violence if you just listen to me."


    "I''m sorry," Rere softly answered expressionlessly.


    "Pretty sweet. You are cuter than Ananya."


    "Your Highness. What is your definition of love?"


    "What kind of question is this?" Prince Ahmed laughed.


    "Just answer me. If your answer satisfies me then I will leave Dino and stay by your side."


    "Really? Are you serious?" Prince Ahmed looked Rere in the eye, trying to find the sincerity there. Rere''s expression was flat. Her attitude was unreadable. Prince Ahmed could not guess whether Rere was faking or being sincere.


    "Just answer me."


    "To me, love is the overflow of emotions and feelings of desire for someone. The feeling of wanting to be with and protect some."


    "What do you feel when you fall in love?"


    "Happy and flowery. Like the sky in the afternoon, blue as my blue heart. Waiting for the news I''m waiting for, hugs and kisses are just for you." Prince Ahmed sings. Rere''s question made him laugh because it was funny.


    "Do you love your wife or concubine? There are many women around you, why did you fall in love with Ananya?"


    "Love grows unnoticed, unsolicited. Love comes without permission, knows no time, and doesn''t know people."


    "Why not fall in love with one of His Majesty''s concubines?"


    "How can I fall in love? Love can not be forced. I tried, but couldn''t love any of them."


    "That''s how Ananya feels too."


    Prince Ahmed was stunned and speechless. His eyes flickered disapprovingly.


    "His Highness loves Ananya, but she doesn''t love you. As you said earlier. Love can not be forced."


    "Did you trick me with that question?"


    "I didn''t. Just hear me, after this, it''s up to you what you want to do to me, I''ve given up if I die in your hands."


    "What do you want to say?"


    "Love can not be forced. Ananya doesn''t want to hurt you by pretending to love you. That''s why she told you honestly that she loves someone else," Rere stopped talking then saw Prince Ahmed''s reaction.


    "Forced love will only hurt you in the end. When we just pretend to love someone, it''s not that person who is lying. We are actually lying to ourselves too. Imposing love and feelings can in fact make us suffer. Not only that, we will not feel happy. Pretending in a bond will cause discomfort in a relationship. Sincerity comes from honesty. True love comes from honest feelings. If you just pretended and forced yourself all this time, sincerity in love is difficult to create. In the end, we are just tired of being alone and feel burdened to maintain a relationship. We cannot pretend forever. How long are you going to keep pretending? Pretending is really tiring. Maybe we can survive for a while, but we can''t forever be a different person every time we force ourselves to love someone. Pretending to love or pretending not to love someone can be just as difficult as it is. Achieving happiness together is also difficult. If everything starts with pretense, achieving and creating happiness together will be difficult. It will be fortunate if the pretense can eventually change and create real love and feelings. It''s just that if you try, but all you feel is pain and torment, then nothing will ever be fine. Forced love is hard to end okay. Because Ananya doesn''t want to hurt you so she is honest with her feelings." Rere emphasized.


    "Don''t talk too much, Rere."


    "You don''t love Ananya. It''s not loving but an ambition. You are used to getting everything that you want easily. You have always been very lucky because you are the heir to the throne, someone who will later inherit the kingdom. You feel challenged when Ananya rejects your love and chooses Dino."


    "Shut up!" Prince Ahmed is angry. The man pulled the table mat, scattering the food on the floor.


    Rere was shocked to see Prince Ahmed''s outburst.


    "I will not shut my mouth anymore." Rere turned around. She saw the helicopter getting closer as the smile slipped from her lips.


    "Your Highness. One thing¡­" Rere shook her head. "No need to try hard to get love because it''s useless to try if the person you love does not have the same feeling. Good love is only for those who have feelings for each other, not only one of them is trying and struggling. No need to force someone''s heart because love can never be forced. If Ananya doesn''t love you or she ignores you then there is no need to try and fight for it. Just believe that love will always find a way for you, so there''s no need to try hard and fight by yourself just to get the love you want."


    "Don''t talk anymore." Prince Ahmed is frustrated. The man covered his ears.


    "I won''t stop. Open your mind! We do not need to force love because the heart will always find who deserves to love. You will never be happy if you force love. It''s useless to fight if the person you love doesn''t have the same feelings. In the end, you will be hurt and disappointed. It''s better not to hope. Just be a better version of yourself so that one day you deserve the love you get. Rere spoke loudly. Prince Ahmed did not move. He was shocked to hear Rere''s words. Slowly, gently, right in his heart.

 Chapter 130 - Buy Some Time

    Rere was shocked to see Prince Ahmed''s outburst.


    "I will not shut my mouth anymore." Rere turned around. She saw the helicopter getting closer as the smile slipped from her lips.


    "Your Highness. One thing¡­" Rere shook her head. "No need to try hard to get love because it''s useless to try if the person you love does not have the same feeling. Good love is only for those who have feelings for each other, not only one of them is trying and struggling. No need to force someone''s heart because love can never be forced. If Ananya doesn''t love you or she ignores you then there is no need to try and fight for it. Just believe that love will always find a way for you, so there''s no need to try hard and fight by yourself just to get the love you want."


    "Don''t talk anymore." Prince Ahmed is frustrated. The man covered his ears.


    "I won''t stop. Open your mind! We do not need to force love because the heart will always find who deserves to love. You will never be happy if you force love. It''s useless to fight if the person you love doesn''t have the same feelings. In the end, you will be hurt and disappointed. It''s better not to hope. Just be a better version of yourself so that one day you deserve the love you get. Rere spoke loudly. Prince Ahmed did not move. He was shocked to hear Rere''s words. Slowly, gently, right in his heart.


    "Your Excellency. The heart will always find its love so you don''t have to fight hard to get it. If you believe it, there will always be a way to find true love. You will never struggle alone and will never chase someone who doesn''t love you. Better to believe that love will never go wrong and that heart knows who deserves to be loved properly. Why did you need to force it? Love will always find a way to you. Just be sure that those who are destined to love you will never make the wrong choice. If until now you haven''t found her, maybe it''s not time for you to meet her."


    "Stop talking!" Prince Ahmed approached and strangled Rere. The man dragged Rere to the end of the building. The prince went mad. He wanted to throw Rere down!


    "You have to die so Dino knows what it''s like to lose someone. How does it feel to have something important snatched away from him."


    "Dino already felt the loss when Ananya died because you killed her. You say Dino has robbed you of your happiness? You killed me for revenge didn''t you? Revenge will only ruin your heart and your life. You will never be happy because of your own grudges. What you feel for Ananya is not love but ambition. Your blind love had killed Ananya. You live in guilt for killing the woman you love!" Rere spoke although she was out of breath. Rere tried to get Prince Ahmed''s hand off her neck. It was hard to breathe.


    Three helicopters made an emergency landing. All passengers step out from the helicopter. Prince Syehzade''s men fought with prince Ahmed''s bodyguards. They fired warning shots.


    Prince Ahmed was so shocked that he released his grip. There was a battle between the army of prince Ahmed and prince Syehzade. The sound of gunshots shocked everyone. Rere was scared and covered her ears as she moved away from Prince Ahmed.


    "Don''t run!" Prince Ahmed grabbed Rere''s arm.


    "Let me go!" Rere grimaced.


    "I won''t let you go. Stop or I''d kill her?" Prince Ahmed shouted loudly. He saw his bodyguards fall because of the gunshots of Prince Sheikh''s army.


    "Why do you always involve prince Syehzade? You make me hate him."


    "If we hadn''t involved prince Shehzade, we wouldn''t have come to this place sooner," Dino smirked. His eyes were bloodshot with anger. "Let go of my wife!"


    "I won''t! I will make her mine. I want you to feel what I feel. You have no idea how hurt I was when you snatched Ananya from me."


    "I never snatched Ananya. She chose me. She loves me, not you. Don''t torture yourself by holding grudges since you will get nothing. Revenge will only torture your heart. Ananya will cry seeing you like this. Is there any regret in your heart when you kill the woman you love?"


    "You should be the one who died that night, not Ananya. If you die, maybe Ananya will be mine and we will live happily."


    "Even if I die, Ananya will not choose you. She knows the man who deserves her heart," said Dino melancholy.


    Rere tries to fight prince Ahmed. She stepped on and bit the prince''s hand. One slap landed on Rere''s cheek.


    "Bastard!" Dino wanted to approach them but was prevented by Bara since Prince Ahmed had a tantrum. If they acted rashly, Prince Ahmed would throw Rere off the rooftop.


    Prince Ahmed gripped Rere''s left arm. He pulled her hand firmly.


    "Let me go!" Rere poked Prince Ahmed in the eye with her fingers. Rere''s nails were very long and hurt Prince Ahmed''s eyes. The man screamed in pain. Rere was about to run into Dino''s arms but the man held her back. Dino and Bara approached them to save Rere. Dino accidentally pushed Prince Ahmed so hard that the prince fell down from the building.


    "No!" shouted Rere in shock.


    Everyone was in shock as they looked down. Thankfully Prince Ahmed''s hand was holding on to the wall.


    "Prince," cried Prince Ahmed''s mother.


    "Mother." Prince Ahmed was surprised to see his mother''s arrival. The woman was in tears.


    "Hold my hand, prince." Prince Ahmed''s mother reached out her hand.


    "No mother. I''d rather die. I don''t want to live anymore. I never got what I wanted. I had lost my love and the throne."


    "Your Highness, please," Rere also reached out. "Hold my hand. You must live, Your Highness."


    Dino and Bara were shocked because Rere wanted to help prince Ahmed. What''s on Rere''s mind?


    "Your Highness, please hold my hand." Rere showed her sincerity.


    Bara replaced Rere to help Prince Ahmed.


    "Why did you save me? Wouldn''t I almost kill you?" Prince Ahmed''s eyes filled with tears.


    "You deserve to be happy and loved, His Highness. Don''t waste your life for revenge. I know you are a good person, but the way you love someone is wrong. You deserve to be happy. Find your happiness. If you really love Ananya. Love her right. Ananya might be sad seeing your current condition. If I were Ananya, I would be sad because someone who loves me is suffering. You deserve to be happy. Your life must not end even though Ananya is gone. You have to find happiness. Get rid of the grudge within you. You will find your happiness. I have already forgiven you. You are a good person but blinded by love."


    The prince wept bitterly. He regretted what he had done so far. Bara pulled Prince Ahmed up. Prince Ahmed''s mother hugged her son tightly. The mother and child wept.


    "Forgive me." Prince Ahmed knelt down to Rere.


    "Don''t do this, Your Highness." Rere stepped back accidentally bumping into Dino.


    "Dino." Rere ran into Dino''s arms.


    "Aw¡­..," Dino screamed when Rere touched his arm.


    "What happened?"


    "Tom and I were shot," Dino smirked.


    "WHAT?!!!!"


    ******


    "Dino," called Rere, walking to the park looking for Dino. She took his cell phone from her pocket and called her husband. Dino''s phone is off.


    "Where''s Dino?" Rere pouted in annoyance. Earlier, Dino sent her a message to come to the park, but she couldn''t find the man.


    "Annoying. He must be playing pranks on me." Rere kicked a rock.


    Suddenly the garden lights dimmed. Everything went dark. Someone closed Rere''s eyes.


    "Who''s this?" Rere panicked. She struggled to be free but the man hugged her waist tightly. Rere stayed calm because she knew whose hand was holding her. "Dino. You are annoying." Rere talk in a spoiled manner.


    "Close your eyes," Dino whispered in Rere''s ear.


    "Why? It''s already dark."


    "Don''t talk too much."


    Dino led Rere to a place. They walked slowly.


    "Have we arrived yet?" Rere can''t wait.


    "Be patient. The patient person will have a wide ass." Dino teased his wife.


    "Not funny."


    "Just laugh at the joke."


    "What a tease."


    "I really like to tease you."


    Dino removed his hand from Rere''s eyes. The woman was shocked and flabbergasted. Rere''s mouth gaped at the garden decorations. There are colorful lights on the tree. Flowers are blooming even though they are not real flowers. Fireworks sound in the sky.


    I LOVE YOU!!!


    The fireworks display is clearly legible.


    Then the second fireworks deafened Rere''s ears. The woman was so shocked that she covered her ears.


    HBD MY WIFE! was the second fireworks letter.


    Rere was touched and did not expect to get a surprise as sweet as this. This is a special and different surprise. Rere smiled at her husband. The two of them are full of love.


    "Thank you," Rere hugged Dino. She felt comfort in Dino''s arms. Dino''s hug was warm and comfortable. Rere let go of her embrace and wanted to give her husband a warm kiss on the lips, but Dino refused. "Why?"

 Chapter 131 - Do You Want More Happy?

    Dino removed his hand from Rere''s eyes. The woman was shocked and flabbergasted. Rere''s mouth gaped at the garden decorations. There are colorful lights on the tree. Flowers are blooming even though they are not real flowers. Fireworks sound in the sky.


    I LOVE YOU!!!


    The fireworks display is clearly legible.


    Then the second fireworks deafened Rere''s ears. The woman was so shocked that she covered her ears.


    HBD MY WIFE! was the second fireworks letter.


    Rere was touched and did not expect to get a surprise as sweet as this. This is a special and different surprise. Rere smiled at her husband. The two of them are full of love.


    "Thank you," Rere hugged Dino. She felt comfort in Dino''s arms. Dino''s hug was warm and comfortable. Rere let go of her embrace and wanted to give her husband a warm kiss on the lips, but Dino refused. "Why?"


    Dino didn''t answer and pointed to one side. Rere turned around. She laughed when she found her whole family gathered there. She was embarrassed. No wonder Dino refused her kiss.


    "Hmmm. Why did you become so aggressive?" Bara teased his sister.


    "What are you doing?"


    The whole family forms a circle. Rere could see the party decorations. This place has been decorated as beautifully as possible. Various cakes are served on the table.


    "Happy birthday, Rere." Ainil approached her daughter and kissed Rere.


    "Thank you, mother."


    "Happy birthday, Rere." Dila approached her and put on a sash like a beauty queen. The sash reads ''Happy 25th birthday Rere''. Dila even put a crown on Rere''s head.


    "Awwwww," Rere screamed when Dila stepped on her toe. "Why did you step on it?"


    "I hope you are pregnant again soon. You will be infected by me." Dila stroked her stomach and then stroked Rere''s stomach.


    "Give me money," Rere held out her hand.


    "Money? What for?"


    "I heard a myth that said getting money from pregnant women would make us pregnant."


    Dila scratched her head. She took her wallet out. There''s only two-cent in her wallet. She didn''t like giving Rere that small amount of money. It was just enough to buy candy.


    "There are only two cents," Dila is uncomfortable. She glanced at the whole family. Everyone laughed in amusement. They are surprised that Rere knew about the myth.


    "It does not matter. I will keep the money and will not spend it," Rere took the money from Dila.


    Everyone gathered. They sing a birthday song for Rere.


    "Happy birthday, Rere." Prince Ahmed came to her birthday party with his mother. After that incident, Prince Ahmed befriended Dino. The man also treated his mental health. Thanks to intensive treatment the man''s mental illness was cured. No more enmity and revenge. Prince Ahmed regretted his actions and repented. He wants to be a good person to atone for his past sins.


    "Thank you, Your Highness," said Rere, smiling sweetly, receiving a bouquet of flowers from Prince Ahmed''s mother.


    "May you always be happy." Prince Ahmed''s mother held Rere''s hand.


    "Thank you, Your Highness."


    "Happy Birthday, Mommy," Hanin and Leon came and gave her a teddy bear.


    "What are you just calling me?" Rere looked at Hanin.


    "Mommy," Hanin repeated her words.


    "Did I pass the test to be your Mommy?" Rere was touched. Unknowingly the tears fell from her eyes. Finally, Hanin accepted her as a mother.


    "Yes. I accept you to be my mommy." Hanin smiled sweetly as she wiped Rere''s tears.


    Rere spontaneously embraced Hanin. She was happy that Hanin finally yielded. She promised to be a good mother to her two children.


    "Leon wants a hug too," said Leon.


    The three hug happily. The whole family was moved to see their interaction. Everyone is happy and relieved. There is no grudge or hatred.


    ****


    Dino dropped Rere''s body on the bed. The man approached his prisoner, took off Rere''s top, and then took off her pants. Dino undressed.


    Dino embraced Rere''s body. Their bodies were getting closer. Dino''s lips grabbed his wife''s lips. Rere gave a fierce kiss. Dino was surprised by his wife''s aggressiveness. His wife got smarter at making love. Dino moved back and forth inside Rere''s body.


    Rere twitched as the pleasure grew. Rere''s sigh echoed in Dino''s ears. The man was getting excited as he thrust his body inside Rere''s body. He felt warm and satisfied when Rere''s grip got firm.


    Rere raved as the feeling got intense. The move of Dino''s body on top of hers gave an incomparable pleasure. Dino propped his hands on Rere''s head.


    The two of them gasped for release. The two hugged after their play ended.


    "Are you happy?" asked Dino kissing his wife''s head.


    "I am."


    "May our family always be happy. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Together we will face the cruel world."


    "I want to love you until I die."


    "My love for you is greater than Hanin and Leon."


    "Why?"


    "The children will leave me when they grow up. They live with their respective partners. While you, you will accompany me to old age. That''s why my love for you is the greatest. The ones that accompany me till the end are not the children but YOU."


    "That''s sweet." Rere pinched his cheeks happily.


    "Want to be happier?" Dino smirked.


    "Of course," Rere smiled. She looked enthusiastic.


    "LET''S STARTS ROUND TWO," Dino lifted the blanket and pressed Rere under him.


    There was only a groaning sound under the blanket as the two bodies fused together. Rere and Dino have found their love. Rere gives up and admits being entangled in the charm of a handsome widower.


    Rere moved restlessly and moaned as Dino rubbed her lower body. Playing there. Rere squeezed the bedsheet. The pressure she felt was getting stronger and stronger. Dino broke their kiss on the lips.


    "Would you like to continue, babe?" Dino''s teasing touched Rere''s breasts.


    "I need you," Rere replied hoarsely. Rere screamed as Dino rubbed his dick. Rere sighed as Dino''s dick entered her vagina. Ree is pounding. She got up and changed positions. She sat on Dino''s stomach.


    Dino was surprised when Rere touched his cheek and then kissed his lips hotly. Rere is very lustful and with passion. Dino was amazed by his wife''s ferocity. Is this his wife? Why is Rere so naughty? Rere''s sex drive has increased since the miscarriage. Dino enjoyed the sensation that Rere gave him. His eyes were closed, enjoying the passion that Rere gave him. It tasted great. Dino likes Rere''s mischief. He liked seeing Rere dominate.


    Rere changes drastically during sex. Dino put his hand against the wall. Holds Rere''s movement from falling. Dino was afraid of falling when Rere moved on top of him. Dino stroked Rere''s waist and then rubbed his back. Dino laid Rere down without breaking their kiss.


    Rere took a breath as their kiss broke. She took a ragged breath. She ran out of oxygen.


    "Slow down baby," said Dino singing.


    "Can''t slaw honey. I always forget when I see you naked. You''re seductive and hot."


    "The world is upside down."


    "It means?" Rere was confused by her husband''s words.


    "Women are tested when men have nothing. Men are tested when women are wearing nothing. If we are upside down. Rere is tested when Dino is wearing nothing." Dino was amused to hear his joke. Lately. They like to talk dirty. They are one frequency. Both perverted


    "Babe, do you like it when I''m naughty?" Rere gasped, touching her husband''s chest. She noticed Dino''s dick was swollen.


    "My wife is very wild," said Dino, squeezing Rere''s chest and then bringing their bodies together.


    Rere sighed and enjoyed Dino''s game. Dino moved in his body. Rere thought the foreplay was enough. Not.


    "Slowly dear," said Rere touching Dino''s chest.


    Rere raved. She puffed out her chest and squeezed the sheet tightly. She felt a warm and tingling sensation. Dino moved his lower body. Dino controlled his wife. Dino wanted Rere to scream enjoying his game. Amused and delicious. Rere couldn''t explain what Dino gave him. Rere only knew that Dino was having sex with her.


    "Ahhhhh," shouted Rere breathlessly as Dino entered her body deeper. She was sweating. Rere was like a horse being raced in the arena. Dino gives an extraordinary pleasure sensation.


    "Babe," said Rere writhing. Feeling the heat that spread throughout her body. Dino moving swiftly made her overwhelmed.


    Rere saw Dino''s eyes misted with passion. They looked at each other. Rere saw love in her husband''s eyes.


    "Ahhhh," Rere shouted again softly as Dino accelerated the tempo of the game. It''s getting crazier and naughty.


    A sigh escaped Rere''s mouth. She enjoyed Dino''s jolt. Rere enjoys Dino''s dick playing in her pussy.


    Dino was happy to see Rere sigh. His wife''s face was red and nervous. Dino was increasingly excited to spur his body. Move back and forth. Dino didn''t want to stop yet. He enjoyed the jolt in Rere''s body. It was a feeling he couldn''t describe in words when his body and Rere came together.

 Chapter 132 - A Heart That Is Hurt

    Rere''s chest screamed as Dino played a bit rough. Rere looks seductive with a puffy chest. Dino sucked his wife''s chest like a suckling baby.


    "Ahhhh," Rere screamed shamelessly. Dino covered his mouth. He felt more pleasure than before.


    Dino let go of their union. Turning Rere''s body and entering it from behind. Rere sighed because it was so delicious. Rere closed her mouth. She didn''t want anyone else to hear her sighs.


    Dino grabbed Rere''s waist. His breath catches. He is like a runner who is running towards the finish line. Dino is moving more and more wildly. He squeezed his wife''s chest from behind. Not a single part of Rere''s body escaped his touch.


    Rere held Dino''s hand as the man moved more violently. Surprisingly the more delicious she felt.


    "Babe." Rere felt something warm coming towards her. Making her body warmer and sweaty. Rere squeezed the sheets as the feeling got closer. She tensed up. The feeling hit her. a world of comfort and peace. Her legs felt weak.


    Dino smiled satisfied to see his wife had an orgasm. There is a sense of pride enveloping him when satisfying his partner. Sex in a marriage is very important to strengthen the relationship. Without sex, marriage will be tasteless and empty.


    Dino speeds up the tempo of the game. He wanted to find pleasure in his wife''s body. Their heated struggle gave them immense pleasure. Dino''s fast movements gradually became slow as he got satisfaction.


    Dino and Rere cleaned themselves in the bathroom. Naughty Dino. He teased his wife again. Dino asked for a third round. They enjoy a love that is getting stronger day by day. They make love under the splashing water.


    ********


    A woman stares at her father''s grave without blinking. She sobbed. Her tears had dried from crying too much. Her heart was shattered when she learned that her beloved father had died. It''s in very dilapidated condition. His body was eaten by piranhas. Only bones remain. The fish ate his father''s whole body.


    It''s been a few months now, but it''s still etched in her heart. It''s hard to accept the fact that her father died tragically. Her father died sadistically with the status of a suspect. Her family was even ostracized by neighbors and cursed. Her family''s suffering did not stop. The company confiscated all of her father''s assets. The assets are the result of corruption in the company.


    After her father died. Her mother also died. None of his relatives cared about her. Her father''s sins were passed on to his daugther.


    Bella wept bitterly. She must lose her loved ones in the near future. Her heart ached. Bella had to swallow a bitter pill. She became an orphan. No longer live in luxury homes. Bella lives in the old house. The house she lived in as a child.


    Bella is not even recognized by her father and mother''s family because her father''s mistake is so fatal. It''s unforgivable.


    "Why did you guys leave me so soon? I can''t live without you. Where should I go? No one will accept me. Dad, is it true that you did corruption in the company? Why did you do all that? Why are you so greedy? We''re not that poor. We are quite rich. What you did affected me. They think I''m the same as you." Bella spoke while holding Lutfi''s tombstone. The man had to die because of his actions. Lutfi and Reyhan were the masterminds behind Rere''s attack, causing the woman to miscarry.


    "Mom. Why did you leave me like dad? Why? I am alone. No one care about me. Everyone hate me?" Bella looked at her mother''s gravestone. The graves of father and mother are side by side.


    The sky was cloudy and felt cloudy in Bella''s heart. Suddenly the rain came. Bella has no intention of leaving the grave. She let the rain wash over her. Her tears were swallowed by the rain. Her eyes were swollen and red.


    Bella didn''t care. She felt that God was unfair to her. Why did she have to bear the sin of her father? Why doesn''t Rere care about her?


    "Bella. We have to get out of here," said Vani protecting Bella with an umbrella.


    "Leave me alone. I don''t want to go. I want to be with mom and dad. I don''t have anyone anymore. I am alone."


    "Bella. How long have you been like this? Don''t be sad. You have to move on with your life. Your crying will not bring your parents back." Vani gives advice. She was Bella''s best friend. They have been friends since childhood. Vani is a loyal friend who has accompanied Bella all this time.


    "You don''t feel what I feel. I lost my parents in the near future. My father died tragically. His body was eaten by piranha fish. Only the bones are buried here. He was buried in an incomplete state. A month after my father died, my mother also died. My wound hasn''t healed yet, even added a new wound. It''s not easy for me. Not easy."


    "I know. You are very sad and lost. You have nobody else. I''m with you. I will not leave you alone. I will accompany you." Vani helped Bella get up and took her to the car.


    Vani brought Bella home. She asked Bella to take a shower. Vani is also hurt seeing Bella. Every night the woman cries. Bella remembers her parents.


    An hour passed but Bela still didn''t come out of the bathroom. Vani became suspicious. What did Bella do? Vani knocked on the bathroom door but there was no answer.


    "Bella. Open the door?"


    "Bella, did you hear me?" Vani was very scared and worried. Vani''s screams were heard by her mother.


    "What is it?"


    "Bella hasn''t come out of the bathroom since a while ago. I called her but there was no answer."


    Vani''s mother knocked on the door and called Bella. No answer. Bella was still silent.


    "We''ll just break the door. I''ll call security to break down the door."


    "Hurry back, Mom."


    A few minutes later Vani''s mother came with security. Two men broke down the bathroom door.


    Vani and her mother were shocked when they saw Bella limp in the bath up. The tub is red.


    "Bella. Get up." Vani was crying loudly. She saw the cut in Bella''s hand. It moves fast. Vani took a scarf and tied Bella''s injured hand.


    "Help me carry Bella." Vani panicked.


    Vani and her mother took Bella to the hospital. Bella was laid on a gurney and then taken to the operating room.


    "I''m afraid something will happen to her Mom," said Vani hugging her mother.


    "Bella will be safe. She is fine. Trust me."


    "She gave up. Don''t want to live anymore. Her life was empty after her parents left."


    "Bella still has a hard time accepting the fact that her mother and father have died."


    "I''m scared mom. I don''t want anything bad to happen to Bella. She''s a good girl."


    "Bella will be fine. The doctor is working on her."


    "Why did Bella try to kill herself? She''s not alone. I was with her."


    "Vani. Calm yourself. Bella will be ok. Don''t worry."


    Vani paced in front of the operating room. It''s been a very long time but the doctor hasn''t finished the operation yet.


    Vani breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the doctor coming out of the operating room.


    "How is Bella, doctor?" she asked when she saw the doctor.


    The doctor removed the mask and began to speak, "Thank God she''s safe. If you are too late her life will not be saved."


    "Thank God," said Vani relieved. She looked at her mother.


    "Excuse me," said the doctor with smiling.


    "Trust me Vani. Bella will be fine."


    The news that Bella was hospitalized reached the ears of Ananto, Lutfi''s best friend. The man came to the hospital with his wife.


    Bella had regained consciousness and was taken to the infirmary. The woman didn''t say much. Her eyes were empty and she had no zest for life.


    "Bella, are you okay?" asked Ananto caring.


    "Uncle Ananto," Bella said quietly.


    "You still remember me?"


    "Of course I remember. Uncle is my father''s best friend."


    "How are you doing?" asked Ananto again.


    "Bella, I hope you get well soon," said Ananto''s wife, placing the fruit on the table.


    "Thank you aunty, uncle. You don''t have to bother." Bella felt bad.


    "We don''t bother. You are like a child to us."


    "How are you uncle?"


    "I''m fine."


    "Is uncle still working at the company?"


    "No." Ananto shook his head.


    "Why?"


    "Rere threw us out of the company. Her husband and stepbrother Rere destroyed us," said Ananto, clenching his fists. The man held a grudge against Rere. Ananto hates Dino and Bara. The man played subtly. The man not only dumped him from the company but caused Lutfi to die.


    "Why does uncle hate Rere so much?"


    "She''s the cause of all this. She''s the cause of your father''s and mother''s death. She made us poor. She makes you giddy. I hate it."


    "Why does uncle hate Rere? She''s a good girl."


    "She''s very powerful. She took over the company."soonaffecthatessoonthe ,


    "Isn''t the company her?"


    "R-right. But she can''t get rid of us. If it weren''t for us, the company wouldn''t be big. If the company was in her hands he might have collapsed and gone bankrupt. Instead of thanking her but she and her husband got rid of us."


    "Didn''t you guys commit corruption?" Bella asked in disbelief.


    "That''s just her excuse to get rid of us." Ananto lied.


    "Are you telling the truth?" Bella still couldn''t believe it.


    "For God''s sake. Uncle didn''t lie. She killed your father, Bella. You can''t let her be happy in your misery. You lost your father and mother. Rere has ruined your family. You can''t just keep quiet. You must be strong. Don''t give up. Don''t waste your life. I hope you don''t do that stupid thing again."


    "What do you mean Uncle?"


    "Don''t commit suicide again. You must seek justice, Bella. Don''t let your father and mother cry in the grave. You have to avenge them. You are alone. Exiled. Rere lives happily with her husband and children. Rere should feel what you feel."


    "So Rere is the cause of all this?" Bella asked with trembling hands.


    Ananto glanced at his wife. The man was happy because he succeeded in inciting Bella to hate Rere. Ananto will make them enemies. Ananto needs someone to destroy Rere and Dino. Bella''s anger is needed to smooth the plan.


    Ananto and his wife continue to incite Bella to hate Rere. He told lie after lie so that the revenge in Rere''s heart burned even more.


    "I won''t let Rere live happily. I will avenge the death of father and mother," said Bella full of anger.


    "Good, Bella. You can''t be weak. You have to be strong to fight with Rere. Let''s make a plan to destroy their family."

 Chapter 133 - My Husband, You Are So Sweet

    Dino was still sleeping under the blanket. They were on vacation to Kandui Resort, Mentawai. The Mentawai Islands are in the province of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Mentawai Island is a paradise for surfing lovers.


    They book all the rooms at the resort so it is more privacy and not many people. Rere brought the children and their parents. Bara and Dila also went with their children.


    The whole family gathered on the beach to enjoy the events prepared by the resort. Hanin and Leon with their nanny. Rere opened Dino''s blanket. The man was sleeping soundly.


    They sleep late because there is a game Kim. The KIM game is a number guessing game accompanied by traditional songs from West Sumatra. When the singer sings will mention the numbers. The numbers mentioned by the singer are crossed out on the paper provided by the committee. If the number that we cross out is in a row of five numbers, we will be the winner and get a prize. The KIM game is a traditional game that is held when there are weddings, company anniversary celebrations, thanksgiving.


    "Honey, wake up. It''s morning already," said Rere, touching Dino''s arm.


    The man was still silent. Not moving at all. Rere feels bad with the family. Everyone had gathered at the beach but Dino was still sleeping.


    Rere didn''t run out of ideas. Taking water on the nightstand and then splashing water on Dino''s face. Her husband opened his eyes and got up.


    "Honey, what are you doing?" Dino cleaned his face with a tissue.


    "Honey. You have to wake up. I woke you up earlier but there was no sound." Rere pouted and turned her back on Dino.


    "Honey, don''t be angry," said Dino, touching his wife''s waist. Dino tickled Rere until the woman was amused.


    "Honey, don''t. I''m amused."


    "I love watching you move like a worm when you''re amused," Dino replied. The man teased Rere. Dino stroked Rere''s ass and squeezed it.


    Rere widened her eyes and was shocked by Dino''s spontaneous action. Rere doesn''t want to lose. She took a pillow and hit Dino. The man didn''t want to lose. Picked up a pillow and hit Rere''s back.


    Dino grabbed Rere''s pillow and threw it away. The man pranked Rere. Dino caressed Rere''s breasts until she glared. Dino is very nosy and childish when he is with her.


    Rere was exasperated and then slapped Dino''s thigh. Unfortunately, Dino dodged so Rere hit Dino''s genitals. The man screamed loudly like a girl who had her virginity torn apart.


    "Awwwww¡­..It hurts," Dino screamed. The man fell asleep on the bed. His vital organs ache from Rere''s blow.


    "Honey, are you ok?"


    "Awwwww," said Dino, touching his genitals. It feels awful. Why did Rere have to be that cruel to him?


    "I am sorry, dear. I accidentally. Your own fault. Why dodge so I hit your dick."


    "Rere, my dick is a priceless treasure. If he gets sick. You are the one suffering too."


    "Am I suffering? What is the relation?" Rere asked innocently.


    "What''s the relationship? You still ask? You are not a child anymore dear. There is already a baby that you take out of your vagina still asking. I want to bite you," Dino said vulgarly.


    Rere was amused to hear vulgar remarks from her husband. Dino was getting more and more vulgar when the two of them were. No longer maintain an attitude and authority.


    "Watch your mouth. It''s very dirty talk."


    "I only talk dirty with my wife. Wouldn''t vulgar talk increase the passion of husband and wife?" Dino blinked his eyes.


    "Baba," said Rere, pinching Dino''s stomach.


    Dino pretended to fall to the floor like a weak man.


    "Honey, are you okay?" Rere was worried about her husband''s condition.


    "It hurts dear," said Dino, taking Rere''s hand and placing it on his genitals.


    Rere looked at Dino sharply because she knew her husband''s hidden intentions. Dino''s dick was swollen from Rere''s touch.


    "Honey, he''s awake. You have to put him to sleep," said Dino spoiled.


    "Baba, don''t take the chance." Rere removed her hand from Dino''s dick.


    "Mommy, I have to take advantage of the opportunity. Morning sex gives happiness."


    "Sex at night also brings happiness."


    "It''s more fun to do it in the morning. Our bodies are fresh and energetic," said Dino, removing the robe that Rere was wearing.


    Dino whistled when he saw the red bikini that Rere was wearing. Wearing G-strings. That lump of ass was driving him crazy. Dino whistled teasing his wife.


    Rere took the cloak from Dino''s hand and covered her body. Dino is very perverted these days. They do it almost every day.


    "Don''t wear it," said Dino, snatching the robe from Rere''s hand.


    "Honey, you have to take a shower. Breakfast with the family."


    "No need."


    "Not good for our family."


    "I already told Bara that I was taking you to an island near this resort. I''ll give you a surprise."


    "What surprise?"


    "I''ll invite you to have sex all day long," said Dino laughing funny.


    "Crazy. Where can have sex for that long? Not happy but DIE. Anything in excess is also not good." Rere pinched Dino''s nose until it turned red.


    "Honey. You are cruel," Dino replied, whining like a child.


    "Don''t Cry. You''re not a baby."


    "I''m an adult baby dear," replied Dino while hugging Rere from behind. The man kissed Rere''s neck and left a kiss mark.


    "Please, don''t do it." Ree laughed softly.


    "You''re like a worm when tickled."


    "But you like it."


    "I like it, especially when you do a blow job."


    "You perverted man." Rere let go of the hug and pinched Dino.


    "Rere, kiss first, here."


    "Don''t want to. You will eat me again like last night, honey."


    "Want more," Dino said.


    Rere and Ananya are very different. Rere''s childish attitude makes their marriage more lively. Ananya is too mature and flat. The woman was mostly silent. It was Dino who often teased her. While Rere is very childish and spoiled. Rere''s childish attitude greatly comforted Dino. The man was happy that Rere depended on him so much. Ananya is a very independent woman and doesn''t want to trouble Dino.


    "Honey, kiss me first," Dino asked once again.


    "Don''t want to." Ree shook her head.


    Dino tugged at Rere''s arm, lifting his head to grab Rere''s lips. Just a small kiss, but it made Rere hot. Dino even squeezed Rere''s breasts. After getting what he wanted, Dino let go of his lips.


    Dino opened the cupboard and took the clothes. Just wear a T-shirt and shorts.


    Dino brought Rere to the dock. The man wanted to spend time alone with Rere. Dino had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about Rere.


    The two of them boarded a small boat that could only accommodate five people. Rere is happy to see the ocean. Small islands are very beautiful like the small islands in Raja Ampat, Papua.


    Rere is standing on the boat. Stretching out arms like a scene in the movie titanic. Dino hugged Rere. Act like Jack. Dino then sings. Singing the song My Heart Will Go On.


    "Every night in my dreams


    I see you, I feel you


    That is how I know you go on


    Far across the distance


    And spaces between us


    You have come to show you go on


    Near, far, wherever you are


    I believe that the heart does go on


    Once more, you open the door


    And you''re here in my heart


    And my heart will go on and on


    Love can touch us one time


    And last for a lifetime


    And never let go ''til we''re gone"


    "Crazy," said Rere, laughing at Dino''s behavior. Her husband is very cute and adorable.


    "Her husband is very romantic, Sis," said the captain.


    "Not romantic but embarrassing," said Rere covering her face.


    "You are lucky to have me. I''m lucky to have you too," said Dino kissing Rere''s forehead.


    "Honey, shame." Ree felt bad. Her affection is seen by others.


    Showing intimacy with a partner is a taboo sight for the people of West Sumatra. Intimacy with a partner should not be seen by others. If you kiss in public it is called adultery. That is the custom in West Sumatera. Open clothes are also not allowed. You will be blasphemed.


    Dino and Rere arrived at a small island. The sand is still white and natural.


    Rere was shocked when she arrived at the island. They were warmly welcomed. They provide garlands and welcome drinks.


    Rere was moved to see Dino''s surprise. When walking, Rere saw a sprinkling of roses along the road. The women took turns walking in front of Rere carrying a sign written with poetry. The poem was written by Dino, especially for Rere.


    Dear, my love. Rere¡­.


    When the sun meets the eastern horizon


    Can''t beat the beauty of seeing you


    When I wake up from sleep


    Like the tip of the nail that always grows even though it is always cut


    That''s how I miss you even if it''s only for a second apart from you.


    But growing a thousand more longing in my chest.


    The first woman left in front of Rere. The woman turned to Dino. Can''t believe Dino is so sweet. Rere was crying because she was moved.


    Rere continued walking, hand in hand with Dino. The second woman came in front of her. Shows the continuation of the poem.


    Only you can complete my life


    Only you can face and accept my selfishness


    You are beautiful, you are patient, and you are so graceful


    You are the medicine in my pain.


    The second woman leaves. Rere went back inside to venture into the island. The third and fourth women appeared.


    Your silence is my wound, your smile is my happiness.


    Your laughter is the most beautiful gift in my life.


    Because all my life depends on you.


    Like an angel, you are my angel


    As if in heaven, you are my angel


    My comforter and compliment when I''m sad and lonely.


    Because you are my angel


    Accompany me until I''m old and can''t breathe anymore.


    I love you so much, my wife


    Syarena Wayky Daud.


    This poem dedicates the love of your husband


    Dino Putra Chaniago.


    Ree was speechless. The woman turned around and hugged Dino tightly. Rere kissed Dino''s lips. Rere felt like a queen. So loved and adored.

 Chapter 134 - My Wife, This Is Proof Of Love

    Rere doesn''t want to let go of her arms. She was very touched and happy. Rere is feeling very loved. She never thought that Dino adored her so much. Although their age difference is quite far, which is fifteen years, Dino can be romantic and sweet like a man her age.


    Rere shut Dino''s lips again. She kissed and bite his lips. Rere enjoyed the touch between their lips. Dino smiled seeing Rere so eager to kiss him. Dino saw Rere also loved him very much.


    Dino unlinked their lips. He caressed Rere''s soft cheek.


    "You like it honey?"


    "Yes. I like. I am moved to read verse after verse of the poetry you wrote. I feel most loved. I am lucky to have you as my husband. I love you so much."


    "I really love you too." Dino was very happy and hugged Rere tightly.


    "I love you."


    "I love you too."


    "I don''t know when love will come. Every day that love grows more and more. There is only your name in my heart."


    "You are the only woman who reigns in my heart. Are you happy to marry me?"


    "I am very happy. Even though our marriage started from Bara''s coercion, I''m lucky to have a half-brother as good as him. He chose the right man to be my husband. You are not only Leon''s father but my soulmate."


    "You are also my soulmate."


    "When did you prepare all this?"


    Dino shrugged. Reluctant to tell.


    "Confidential."


    "Not exciting."


    "Isn''t it sweet?"


    "So sweet that I wonder when you prepared all of this. You''ve been sleeping for a while, honey."


    "Tom helped," said Dino, mentioning the name of his assistant.


    "Tom already has a girlfriend?"


    "Why do you ask such a thing? Don''t tell me you like Tom." Dino teases Rere.


    "Don''t be crazy honey," Rere replied pinching Dino''s stomach.


    "Then?"


    "He prepared with heart."


    "This idea is mine."


    "I am happy. There''s nothing happier than today."


    Dino grabbed Rere''s hand and brought her to sit at the prepared dining table. Various foods are already served on the table. There were no human sightings apart from them. They had left Dino and Rere behind. Dino wanted privacy and alone on this small island. The family had been notified when they left. Hanin and Leon are safe with Rere''s parents and nanny.


    Dino helped Rere sit up. The man served Rere like a waiter in a restaurant. Dino wants to serve his wife. All this time Rere had served him.


    Dino poured the sauce over the steak. He cut the meat and then fed Rere.


    Rere opened her mouth. Moved by Dino''s sweet attitude. So far, Rere has never met a man as sweet and patient as Dino. The man tried to give the best for her. Since the miscarriage, Dino loves and cares for her more and more.


    Rere took a spoon and fork. Participate in cutting the steak. She fed Dino. The man opened his mouth. Dino''s smile was so sweet and intoxicating. Rere couldn''t stand the sight of that smile. Dino gets more handsome when he smiles.


    After eating they walked along with the beach hand in hand.


    "Are you happy?" asked Dino once more.


    "Very happy. Very nice vacation. Thank you."


    "No need to thank me. You deserve all this for being a good wife and mother to our two children."


    "I haven''t been able to be a good mother, honey." Rere rubbed her stomach. She remembers having a miscarriage. The man had made her lose a child.


    "No. You are a good mother to Leon and Hanin. Even though you are still young to have two children but you have done your best."


    "I didn''t take good care of our baby. I didn''t even know there was a baby." Rere had tears in her eyes. Rere couldn''t move on yet. It''s been a few months but can''t forget it.


    "You still remember what happened?" Dino came closer and hugged Rere.


    "Don''t be sad, honey. Our children from heaven can see us. Our baby will be sad if you are sad. We have to let it go."


    "I''m sorry to spoil our romantic atmosphere."


    "You didn''t ruin it, honey. You only remember our baby. You are a mother. I understand how you feel. Smile. You are beautiful when you smile," said Dino, caressing Rere''s face.


    "Forgive me." Rere is very spoiled. She hugged Dino tightly.


    Dino and Rere play on the beach. They swim on the shore. Dino allowed Rere to take off her clothes. Just wear a bikini. Dino didn''t want other people to see his wife''s sexiness. Rere''s body belongs only to him. No one should see the beauty of his wife''s body. Dino is very possessive.


    Dino took off his top clothes. Just wear shorts. They both swim by the beach. Rere forgot her sadness. The two of them played on the beach like little children. There is only laughter and love. The two of them played until late afternoon.


    They returned to the resort. They stopped by Hanin and Leon''s room. The two children slept in the room next to them with the nanny.


    "Since when do they sleep?" Rere asked the nanny.


    "It was an hour ago. They are tired from playing with the triplets."


    Dino and Rere kissed Hanin and Leon''s cheeks. Having done that, they returned to the room.


    Dino and Rere immediately took a shower. Dino asked to take a shower first because he felt itchy. Only fifteen minutes. The man was back in the room. Rere took a shower afterward.


    Rere got a whistle from Dino when she came out of the bathroom. She only used a towel. The towel was so sexy wrapped around Rere''s body.


    Dino could not look away at the beauty in front of his eyes.


    "Can I help you, honey? Your eyes don''t blink at me." Rere teases Dino.


    "Of course not blinking. I saw heaven before my eyes."


    "What kind of heaven?" Rere teases Dino. She took off her towel and showed Dino her naked body.


    "You''re teasing me, honey. I can''t stand to see you naked." Dino ran and ambushed Rere.


    Rere couldn''t help but laugh when Dino picked her up and carried her to the bed. Rere is very wild and adorable. Rere unbuttoned Dino''s pants. Take off the man''s clothes to be both naked. Dino was surprised when Rere climbed onto his body. Kiss her lips gently. Dino wanted to eat Rere. His wife is very wild and adorable when making love. People saw that Rere was a calm and quiet woman. But Rere will change if she is with him. The woman is very naughty and adorable when making love.


    "Need a stress reliever honey?" Dino teased while laughing.


    "Of course honey. Help me relieve stress with your body," said Rere, sounding sensual in Dino''s ear.


    "I will give my best," Dino replied in a deep voice.


    Rere pressed their bodies together. Her hand went to his neck and then went up to Dino''s hair. Rere grabbed Dino''s hair. Give a warning if the romance tonight is very long and tiring. Rere''s face drew closer to inhale the scent of her husband''s body.


    Dino closed his eyes enjoying it. He smiled then asked, "I like your mischief."


    Rere brought their bodies closer together. Zero centimeters between them. Her hands are exploring. Tracing Dino''s back then down to the waist. Rere caressed Dino''s cock and caressed him gently.


    "Tonight. I''m yours," said Dino closing his eyes when Rere caressed and squeezed his manhood gently.


    Rere kissed Dino''s lips. She seeks pleasure from there. Dino welcomed Rere''s kiss. He returned the kiss even more fiercely. Dino bit and ate his wife''s lips. Gave up his tongue when Rere wanted it. Sucking Rere''s tongue when she gave it to him.


    Dino kept pace with Rere''s game without any intention of dominating. Dino gave his body tonight to Rere. It wasn''t his style, but Rere''s dominance gave off a strange sensation in him. Not like being served but controlled.


    Dino just obeyed when Rere asked to move. Dino smiled with sparkling eyes when he saw Rere touch his chest and lick his neck. It feels ticklish and thrilling. Dino could feel Rere''s warm breath caressing his skin.


    Dino gave way for Rere to freely explore his neck. His eyes were closed enjoying the kiss so seductive. Rere didn''t stop kissing his neck and biting him. The kiss went from neck to chest. Rere plays on the putting Dino. She sucked and bit him.


    Dino was hot from the passion that Rere had built up. He felt crazy enjoying Rere''s treatment of his body. Dino floats. It feels so calming. Throw him into a quiet world.


    Rere stopped her activities. Pulled her face from Dino''s chest. She saw Dino smiling. She smiled mischievously at him. Dino didn''t want to be silent. The man stroked Rere''s chest. Playing there and then twisting her nipples. Spontaneously, Rere held her breath as Dino bit her nipples. The man''s tongue played with her breasts.

 Chapter 135 - Honey, I Dont Want To Stop

    A tremor hit Rere, as Dino''s fingers played in her femininity. She sighed quite softly. Mute the voice so that it is not heard by caregivers and children. Rere was so excited. Dino threw him into a quiet and blinding world.


    Dino buried his face again, brushed Rere''s hair, pulling her closer.


    "You''re driving me crazy and losing control over me," whispered Dino looking down at Rere.


    "I love seeing your madness. It''s an honor to make my husband crazy about me," said Rere smiling, wrapping her arms around Dino''s neck.


    Rere groaned, leaning forward so that Dino''s body was closer. Rere gave Dino room to suck and play with her nipples. It tasted ridiculous and delicious.


    They enjoy skin-to-skin touch. Dino buried his body into Rere. His hand touched Rere''s waist. A tremor ran through his body. Close your eyes, enjoy the intense sensation. Accelerating the movement of his hips, Dino wanted to dive deeper into Rere''s body.


    "Honey, I don''t want to stop. You''re driving me crazy," Dino said quietly.


    "You''re driving me crazy too. Make me float into your fantasy world."


    Warm and comfortable as his manhood entered Rere''s pleasure hole. His manhood was eaten so greedily. Dino gasped enjoying the delicious cells flowing into his nerves. Don''t want to stop, want an adventure to enjoy the rush of passion that never subsides.


    Dino is in control of the game. Move the hips quickly and regularly. Dino is feeling proud and happy. They were created to be together. Rere''s body felt just right to compensate. Dino moved his hands then down to his hips. He grabbed Rere''s leg and wrapped it around his waist. Their position is very intimate and close. Dino saw Rere''s pleading gaze to be fucked.


    The eyes were clouded with passion. Dino squeezed Rere''s body until it hit the wall. Rere''s chest pressed tightly against his chest. Dino didn''t release his manhood from inside his wife''s body. It didn''t move but the inside squeezed tightly and mischievously.


    They looked at each other. The glow of love can be seen in their eyes. Rere hugged Dino. The man buried his face in Rere''s neck. Find pleasure there. Dino kissed, bitten, and sucked Rere''s drool until it left a purple mark. Proud of his work. Rere''s body turned blue as a result of his actions. Neck, chest, stomach and thighs. All blue due to mischief. Dino was happy to see the marks he made on Rere''s body. The sign hinted that Rere only belonged to him. No one can take Rere away from him.


    Rere''s head tilted back as Dino firmly pressed his manhood into Rere''s body. Dino felt his manhood throb inside. The body is still narrow. The pincers sent Dino soaring into the sky. Every time they made love, the hole was always narrow, like a virgin.


    Rere pulled Dino''s hair. Rere wanted Dino''s mouth back to her  mouth. Their tongues glided together, rivaling the movement of their hips below.


    "You are very naughty and seductive, honey. I want to play with until morning."


    "Yes, until morning until our legs can''t stand," said Rere breathlessly.


    Dino smiled cutely hearing Rere''s joke. The woman was unpredictable. Plain when viewed from the outside. Fierce when he finds out her true nature.


    Dino touched every inch of Rere''s body without missing anything. Close your eyes, enjoy a passion. Rere buried her mouth on Dino''s shoulder. Biting the man''s shoulder. How she was thrown into a wave that is getting bigger by the second. Rere couldn''t contain her desire. Their bodies were drenched in sweat.


    Dino also held back his groan on Rere''s shoulder, with some of Dino''s thrusts wanting to explode within Rere''s body. Rere''s body collapsed on top of Dino. The man''s legs felt weak. He lifted Rere''s body without letting go of the union. He laid Rere on the bed. He kisses Rere''s thighs. The woman flinched. Her face when horny is very adorable and provokes Dino''s lust to the peak level.


    Dino bit Rere, hard, causing Rere to scream and pull her hair violently. Dino stabbed Rere again violently. Although rude, Rere felt more pleasure than before. Their bodies match and balance each other. Reacts similarly to sensation and touch. Both of them were engrossed in passion.


    Their bodies were covered in sweat. Their moans seemed to be music in a quiet room. Rere looked at Dino in admiration. Dino''s athletic body didn''t escape her touch. The body was so well groomed. Dino is not like a 39 year old man. His face is very cute despite his old age. Rere admired her husband. The greatest gift of her life. Having a husband who is handsome, rich and kind like Dino.


    Rere arched her body to get closer to Dino. Looking for ways to get your body to explore your body more deeply. If necessary, Dino''s manhood is stuck in her pleasure hole. Dino had never wanted to devour a woman like he was doing with Rere. The tension is getting more delicious and intense in and out of Rere''s womanhood. His cock was in pain. Dino felt close. Very close.


    Dino''s hips spun. Hip Rere retaliated harshly but rhythmically, and wildly. Rere bit Dino''s lips while growling.


    Dino and Rere screamed as they reached the top. Rere''s nails sank into Dino''s back. Dino covered Rere''s mouth with his mouth so that the moans wouldn''t come out. It would be a shame if anyone heard their sighs when they reached the top.


    Dino was relieved. Throwing his body on top of Rere''s body. Inhaling the scent of the body greedily. The smell of that body had become an addiction to him. He breathed into Rere''s neck. The woman laughed with amusement. The two bodies coincide.


    "Honey, get your body off mine. I feel tight and sick," said Rere stroking Dino''s hair.


    Dino raised his face, looking at Rere with love. He got up from Rere''s body and slept next to her. They took a breath. They were out of breath from racing in passion. They make love hotter. Rere gave great service to him.


    Slowly they both breathed. They fell asleep because they had worked hard. Rere hadn''t fallen asleep yet. Take a blanket and cover their bodies. Rere sleeps next to Dino. Hug her husband tightly.


    Morning has come. Rere got up first. She got out of bed and put on her pajamas. She grimaced at her clothes with Dino scattered on the floor. Rere covered her face as he remembered last night''s events. Rere couldn''t forget what happened last night. The hottest romance they have ever had during their marriage.


    Rere sat on the edge of the bed looking at Dino''s handsome face. The man was still asleep. Rere''s index finger touched Dino''s cheek. The man is very handsome when he sleeps. Her charm melted Rere''s heart. How can Rere not be subdued if Dino is so sweet and romantic? This holiday strengthens their love even more.


    "Are you satisfied with seeing my face?" asked Dino opening his eyes.


    "Good morning, honey?" said Rere to her husband.


    "Good morning, honey," replied Dino getting out of bed. The blanket covering Dino''s body fell to his waist. The man touched Rere''s chin and looked at him, "You haven''t answered my question."


    "Which question?"


    "You stare at me when you sleep. Am I that handsome?"


    "So handsome that I gave my body to you," said Rere vulgarly. She knew Dino liked to hear her talk vulgar.


    "You are so naughty and adorable. You''re getting wilder and smarter to satisfy me." Dino moved his hand for Rere to sit beside him.


    Rere complied with her husband''s request. Dino kissed his forehead and stroked his hair.


    "Thanks for last night."


    "What are you grateful for? It should be. My job is to satisfy you in bed. A woman must protect her husband''s three important areas."


    "What''s that?"


    "Securing the upper stomach. That is, the wife must keep her words so as not to hurt her husband''s heart. Securing the middle stomach. That is, the wife must prepare food for her husband so as not to starve. Secure the lower abdomen. That is, the wife must provide satisfying and exciting service to her husband when making love so that the husband doesn''t cheat and glances at other women."


    "Oh God. My wife is that great." Dino praised then laughed.


    "Praising or mocking me, honey?"


    "Of course I''m praising."


    "It''s morning. We''d better take a shower. Isn''t our vacation over?"


    "Why would I want to extend our vacation?" Dino wasn''t willing to return to Jakarta. This place gives beautiful memories that are hard to forget.


    "What about the company, honey? We have to get back to work. You and I are going back to the office."


    "I see." Dino got up and kissed Rere''s forehead. The man went to the bathroom naked.


    Rere was like seeing a stripper as Dino ran to the bathroom.. Rere laughed because her fantasy was so wild.

 Chapter 136 - Revenge

    "Are you sure uncle?" Bella looked at Ananto doubtfully.


    "Of course. I am very confident. If you want revenge on Rere, you start with her husband. Take her husband. Destroy their marriage. When a woman is betrayed, she loses control. One shot you get a lot of casualties. When she''s off guard, we take over the company. We tricked Rere and Ainil."


    "Uncle, I''m not taking revenge for Rere''s treasure. I only demand justice for the death of my father and mother. Uncle, don''t take advantage of me," Bella said angrily.


    "Uncle didn''t take advantage of you," replied Ananto lying. The man clenched his fists because Bella dared to scold him.


    "I don''t agree with Uncle''s idea of ??usurping the company. I don''t want Rere alive. She must die like my father and my mother," Bella said in a low voice. Although her voice was low, it sounded deadly to Ananto''s ears.


    Ananto was taken aback. Thinking if Bella was a weak girl. It turned out that Bella wasn''t as weak as she thought.


    "Then what do you do?"


    "I will make her suffer and cripple for life so that she wants to kill herself."


    "What?" Ananto''s eyes widened. Silence for a long time, Ananto continued, "What are you going to do?"


    "Uncle just look. I don''t need to tell Uncle my plan."


    "Revenge on Rere is not your only mission. I have a hand in this mission. I''m hurt and hate Rere and Dino. They''ve kicked me out of the company. Makes me poor. I live poor now. So I will help you to take revenge.


    "No need Uncle."


    "Why are you so stubborn?"


    "I know that Uncle''s motive is not just revenge. Uncle wants me to seize Rere''s treasure. I don''t need the treasure. My heart is more valuable than that treasure. Don''t provoke me."


    Ananto choked, unable to speak. Bella blatantly accused him, even though the accusations were true.


    "Uncle, I have to go," Bella said wearing glasses. The woman left Ananto alone.


    Bella walked gracefully towards the car. Vani was waiting for her.


    "How?"


    "As you guessed. He wants to take advantage of me. He didn''t just want revenge. He wants Rere''s treasure."


    "I thought so. I''m sick of seeing him in the hospital. I know he''s trying to provoke you."


    "I already have a plan."


    "What is your plan? Think again Bella. Revenge won''t fix everything. I remind you. I don''t want anything to happen to you."


    "Take it easy. Vani, I won''t get hurt. At least I have to release the tightness in my heart. Rere made me lose my parents. After their death, Rere and her mother didn''t even sympathize with me. Where are they?"


    "Bell. Don''t follow your passions."


    "No. I don''t follow lust. I have sworn to avenge their deaths."


    "Up to you. I already warned you. I''m not responsible if you get burned because of your playing."


    "Thank you for always supporting me." Bella took Vani''s hand.


    Vani drives the car. They went to Rere and Dino''s house. Watch them from afar. Unfortunately, it turns out that Rere lives in an elite settlement. Can''t just anyone to enter there.


    They were waiting at the gate. They faithfully waited for hours.


    "That''s Rere," Bella said when she saw Rere in the car with her two children.


    "Rere has two children?" Vani was surprised then turned to Bella, "Isn''t he younger than you?"


    "The daughter is his stepdaughter. Daugther of her husband. Rere married a widower."


    "How come? A young woman like her married to a widower?"


    "He''s a rich widower. One of the crazy rich in KL. Rere''s husband is not to be underestimated. Quick, follow that car. We can''t miss it."


    Vani stepped on Rere''s car. Keep your distance so as not to be caught stalking.


    Rere got out of the car with Hanin and Leon. Rere escorted the two of them to class. Rere waved at the two and said goodbye.


    Bella took her cell phone from her bag and called someone.


    "Do your job!" Bella spoke quietly then turned off the phone.


    "Bella, what are you doing?"


    "You''ll see." Bella spoke calmly but sounded scary in Vani''s ears.


    Rere crossed the road. The streets are deserted. Rere was shocked when she saw the car speeding in front of her. The woman screamed loudly.


    Duarrrrr...¡­


    Rere was hit and her body was thrown several meters from the school gate.


    The car that hit Rere fled. Bella smiled when she saw Rere fall in the blood. Rere even vomited blood.


    "Bell, is this your plan?" Vani looked at Bella in disbelief.


    "She will not die. She will only be disabled."


    "Bella. Why are you so cruel? She almost died." Vani couldn''t stand to see Rere.


    People around there saw Rere. They surround Rere. One of them called the police and the hospital.


    Bella and Vani just watched from inside the car. They saw an ambulance coming and took Rere to the hospital.


    "I didn''t think you could do all this. You are cruel."


    "She''s cruel too. She caused my father''s death. My father died horribly. I can''t even see his face. I only buried his bones."


    "Oh, My God." Vani was suddenly short of breath.


    Bella followed the ambulance to the hospital. She wanted to know Rere''s condition. Hopefully the man she''s paid for can do a good job. Not making Rere die because death is so easy for Rere.


    The ambulance carrying Rere has arrived at the hospital. The hospital staff pushed the gurney and examined the doctor. Medical devices are attached to Rere''s body.


    The condition is very worrying. Doctors even performed surgery because of bleeding in Rere''s brain.


    Bella and Vani were waiting in front of the operating room. They acted as if they had helped Rere.


    "Where''s my wife?" Shouted Dino came with his family. Dino was heading to the airport when the accident happened. Dino postponed his trip to KL because he heard the news of his wife''s accident. Dino''s hair was tangled with eyes swollen from crying. The man became traumatized and stressed. His first wife died in a car accident. Dino doesn''t want Rere to have the same fate as Ananya. Dino didn''t want to lose his wife a second time.


    "Where is my daughter?" Ainil wept bitterly. Rere, her only daughter. Ainil was not ready to lose Rere.


    "Mrs. Syarena is in surgery," said one of the nurses.


    Dino slumped to the floor with a sad face. Dino couldn''t imagine life without Rere.


    "Save my daughter," Ainil said hysterically. Dino and Ainil''s cries broke the silence in the hospital.


    "Auntie," said Bella, approaching Ainil.


    "Bella," Ainil said in a choked voice. Why is Bella in the hospital?


    "Why you are here?"


    "My friend and I were passing by where the accident happened. We took Rere to the hospital," Bella said with an innocent face.


    Bitch!


    "Thank you for bringing Rere to the hospital," Ainil said sincerely.


    "No need to do it, auntie. I should have helped Rere since we were cousins."


    "Do you know why the accident happened?" Bara asked Bella.


    Bara''s hunch, Rere''s accident was intentional. Suddenly the CCTV around there died and was damaged. There were no eyewitnesses who saw the incident. The accident just happened a few hours ago but the oddities after the oddities were discovered by Bara.


    "We don''t know," Bella said shaking her head and then continuing, "We came when people gathered to see Rere. We came to see. I was in shock and almost fainted. It turns out that Rere is the victim."


    Bara looked at Bella disapprovingly. He couldn''t believe what Bella said. Bara grabbed Ainil''s hand and took her to a quiet place.


    "What''s up Bar?"


    "Who is that woman, Mom?"


    "Bella?"


    "Yes."


    "She''s Rere''s cousin. She is Lutfi''s daughter."


    "Uncle Lutfi''s daughter?"


    "Yes. Why Bars?"


    "Why would I suspect her."


    "What is the reason you suspect her?"


    "My hunch. She did it on purpose."


    "Bella is different from her father. Don''t equate Bars. I''ve known her since childhood. Bella is a good and innocent girl."


    "Are you sure she''s fine?"


    "Bar, now is not the time to argue. I just want Rere to be safe."


    "I also want Rere safe. I don''t want anything to happen to her."


    The doctor came out of the operating room. Dino chased the doctor to find out about his wife''s condition.


    "Your wife''s operation went well. She suffered a heavy impact when the accident occurred. There is bleeding in the brain. The critical period is over. We can only wait for the patient to wake up."


    "Please save my wife."


    "We''ve done our best. Your wife will recover."


    "Thank you, doctor," said Dino relieved. Thankful Rere is safe. Dino almost went crazy hearing the news of the accident.


    Two hours later....


    Rere came out of the operating room after hours of observation. Three nurses pushed the gurney. They will move Rere to the treatment room.


    "Rere," said Dino when he saw Rere. The man held Rere''s hand. Rere''s face and lips were pale.. The woman was still unconscious.
