"Da-how did you know I was pregnant ?" Anne seemed surprised at her husband who suddenly asked about her pregnancy even though he had never told her anything before.
"What don't I know about you? all I know." James insisted.
"But this is my own son." Anne immediately held onto her stomach possessively.
"alone? hey stubborn lady have you forgotten who planted his quality seedlings in there? unless you've slept with another man." James said, which made his wife glare at him.
"I've never slept with another man, you think I'm a fuckin' woman." so cynically.
"So ?" James seemed to hold his smile looking at his misbehaving wife.
"L-yes this is our baby, but just so you know she's not going anywhere and will be with me forever." said Anne, after all, the man already had another child so he wouldn't allow him to bring his son either.
"Not only with you, but we are together and in the same house" James said, leading Anne to look at him, does that mean he prefers her?
"Why is he so pale, is he sick ?" she murmured when she saw her husband's pale face.
"Or maybe she's sleep-deprived because she has to keep the baby all night." she added again because the newborn always stays up every night, thinking it was a corner of Anne's heart suddenly in pain.
Imagining how her husband and the woman compactly took care of their baby, then unknowingly Anne rubbed her stomach as if giving strength to the baby.
"I don't understand what you mean." Anne turned her face away, her heart beating so hard every time she looked at the man.
James stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's hand. "Honey listen to me, we're husband and wife and of course we'll live together. Understand ?" he said firmly.
"But what about him ?" suddenly Anne felt very selfish when she asked for an explanation about the man's relationship with his first wife who had also given him a child.
"We were separated shortly after she gave birth" said James, but his countenance turned disillusioned when he remembered his dead son.
Anne saw a lot of sadness on the man's face, was her husband forced to leave his first wife?
"I know you must be very disappointed, I'm fine if you really prefer them. I won't demand anything from you, after all he's your first love and it's better if you're together. You take it easy I'll be fine, you don't think about how I feel." Anne later recalled, despite the tightness of the words.
"Have you spoken, hm ?" James looked anxiously at his wife who would not allow himself to give an explanation, then he gave a small jolt to his forehead.
"sick." Anne immediately rubbed her forehead which was hot due to the man's flick.
"Now listen to me, because I won't repeat it a second time." James was then.
"Me and Grace have split up, okay? because I never tolerate a betrayal and we will stay together at any time." said James, who was looked at by his wife carefully.
"Then what about the baby? you didn't abandon her, did you ?" Anne seemed curious about how the fate of the innocent baby would be if her parents separated.
If given confidence he would also be willing to take care of her, he would consider her like his own biological child. It will not be like her stepmother who wasted it.
Hearing the words of his wife, James seemed to sigh. Even though he has let go of the son, he still feels very lost.
"He's gone." she said softly, which immediately made Anne look at him in disbelief.
"No-one ?" he said asking for an explanation.
James nodded slowly, then his gaze appeared blank forward.
"I'm sorry." Anne immediately hugged her husband, the man must have been through a hard day lately.
"Thank you" James said.
"For ?" asked Anne who still hugged her very tightly as if to show that she was there and cared about her.
"You're always looking for opportunities." Anne directly hit the man's burly arm and it made James even more chuckle.
Before long the door of the doctor's room was opened from the inside and Anne and James immediately moved from his seat.
"With Mr Wijaya's family ?" said the doctor.
"I'm his daughter, doc." Anne immediately approached the doctor who did not look okay.
"Before we beg the greatest apology, madam, we have tried our best to save Mr. Wijaya but it seems like God wills otherwise" said the doctor with a disappointed face.
Anne seemed to close her eyes for a moment, she was ready if something happened to her father considering that the man had been sick for a long time and had a heart attack had been several times since his company went bankrupt.
"May I see it, doc." he said later.
"Of course, go ahead" the doctor immediately invited Anne to come in.
Anne immediately went in with James to see the body of the father, not many happy memories with the man in his life but he has sinned and removed all grudges and anger on the man.
Now his father will no longer be sick both physically and mentally ill due to the actions of his stepmother who was so arbitrary when his father loved him very much.
The next day....
"Where are you going ?" Kartika widened her eyes when she saw Anne carrying some suitcases.
"Back to America." said Anne.
"really? good so I'm more free to stay here." the middle-aged woman's dream was without any shame at all.
"Whatever it is but this house I've sold." said Anne who immediately made her stepmother glare at him.
"In ju-sell how ?" protests later.
"This is my home so I'm entitled to sell it, if you want to live where I don't care." said Anne, actually, he still wants to give the woman a lesson to remember his vile deeds first but let God will repay him.
"It can't be like that dong, however I'm your father's wife for a dozen years, at least I get the treasure gono gini." asserted lady Kartika did not accept.
"Your marriage was never registered so you didn't get any rights and Tasya wasn't a full-fledged child either." said Anne.
"Our marriage is legal as long as you know." Madam Kartika immediately took her marriage certificate and showed it to her stepson.
"You think it's real ?" Anne immediately smiled mockingly.
Of all her father's vile deeds to her mother, Anne was grateful that the man did not commit the folly of legally marrying the woman.
"It must be real." Mrs Kartika appears to have checked her marriage certificate carefully, recalling her husband had legally married her after divorcing his first wife.
Then if their marriage certificate is fake, does that mean the man has deceived her first? so the guy never got divorced from his first wife?
"The dazzling treasure does sometimes make someone stupid" said Anne who immediately made the mistress of Kartika growled.
"Braven child, I will definitely eliminate you." Lady Kartika attacked Anne blindly.
