“I'm pregnant.”


Mia's silence as she tells Hartono about her pregnancy. The man shook with his face that looked confused.


Hartono closed his eyes for a moment before deciding to step aside on Mia's body.


The man stood up while twitching his forehead, and Mia did not understand why Hartono showed such a reaction. Mia feels that Hartono is not happy with the news of her pregnancy.


“I'm pregnant, and this is yours.” said Mia confirmed her words earlier.


Hartono who heard that turned to Mia with glazed eyes. Mia smiled while crying.


“She's mine?” asked Hartono while holding Mia's hand and the woman nodded.


“Two weeks after I moved to Japan, I just found out that I was pregnant.” she said with a tear melted down her cheek.


“I never slept with Haru, because since the beginning of our marriage we did pretend.” explained Mia again.


Hartono just hugged his woman's body without making Mia feel tight. She was very happy to hear the news, although at first she thought that Mia was pregnant with the boy.


Mia squeezed the back of Hartono's shirt as a form of excitement.


“I was going to keep this a secret because I was angry with you, and I didn't want you to know that I was pregnant with your child.” Mia said, recalling her intentions some time ago.


Hartono let go of his embrace and now the man cupped both sides of Mia's face using a pair of palms.


The man gave a kiss almost all over Mia's face.


“We're getting married. I don't want my son to be born without clarity.” Hartono said with confidence.


This is really exciting news for him. Because with the presence of her fruit of love with Mia, the woman will no longer have any reason to leave her.


..


Haru came home early because Mia said that the woman had cooked for their dinner. Haru does not want to make himself a man who does not appreciate every effort a woman to please him.


Currently Haru was already in the dining room with Mia who was preparing food for the two.


Haru noticed the look on Mia's face that looked much brighter than usual. He wondered what made the woman more dangerous.


“You look happy.” Haru chirps after Mia finishes setting the dining table and sitting in her chair.


Mia smiled wryly hearing that, she squeezed her chopsticks out of nervousness.


"Yes, my mood is good right now.” Mia replied slowly.


Haru commented on her thin smile, she was happy if Mia could feel that way.


Both of them then dissolved in silence as they were enjoying their dinner. Both Haru and Mia, are not the type of people who like to chat while eating. In addition to being disrespectful, they also feel uncomfortable.


In every mouthful of rice and side dishes that entered his mouth, Haru could feel that Mia was pouring her sincerity in the dishes that the woman made. Maybe it was also because of Mia's good mood, so the taste of the cuisine was really delicious.


“Thank you for the food.” Haru said sincerely.


Mia nodded slowly, she then cleaned up the tableware she had used just now. Meanwhile Haru took the initiative to wash the dirty bowls and dishes earlier.


Since Mia had already cooked, it was Haru's turn to wash the dishes.


Although the task of washing the cutlery was done by Haru, but Mia did not leave her place. He still stared faithfully at Haru who was washing the dishes, while his brain circled around to string the words he would tell Haru.


When he finished washing the dishes, Haru was surprised that Mia was still standing in her place.


“What's up?” ask Haru curiously.


Seeing how Mia's current face was, Haru guessed that the woman wanted to say something to her.


“Haru ..”


Haru fell silent while staring at Mia, “About the continuation of this marriage?” ask Haru to make sure.


The woman nodded with both hands squeezing each other, “I decided to forgive my lover.” Mia said then lowered her face in embarrassment.


“And back to her?” haru asked as if he was continuing Mia's expression just now.


Mia raised her face again to meet Haru, and she answered the man's question with a short answer.


“Ya,”


Haru smiled happily at her, she then pulled Mia's body and hugged the woman.


“I'm happy to hear the news.” said Haru.


“You don't matter if it's like that?” Mia asked and Haru of course shook her head slowly.


Because from the beginning Haru already had the intention to release Mia, it's just that her intention was stopped because she felt sorry for Mia.


Mia looked at Haru softly, Haru is really a kind-hearted man. The man was not selfish and always thought about how comfortable Mia had been.


“Haru, I hope you can find your happiness too.” Mia said sincerely.


Mia was sure a kind-hearted person like Haru would obviously get an equally good partner.

One week later


Fabian heard the news that his father had returned from Japan with the woman.


The man was not out of thought with the way his father thought, the man could bring home the woman who had destroyed his mother's household and destroyed her mother.


Fabian labeled his father as a heartless man.


“I have to give the calculation to the woman.” Ever since he knew how rotten Mia was, Fabian had no intention of mentioning the woman by name.


“Darling, what are you talking about?” Laura suddenly came to his office with a stack of stockpiles in her hand.


Fabian smiled sweetly at his beautiful wife, then he moved from his seat to get closer to Laura.


The beautiful woman hugged her husband without hesitation, while Fabian welcomed the wife's embrace with longing.


“It so happens that my beautiful wife comes in when my heart is hot because of something.” Fabian said as he buried his face in the niche of his wife's neck.


Hugging Laura and inhaling the scent of the woman's body could always calm her mind.


“What's wrong?” Laura who was curious about the meaning of her husband's words of course asked.


Fabian shook his head slowly, though he was eager to tell Laura, but Fabian chose not to say anything to the woman. Fabian was afraid that Laura would be uncomfortable with all the talk about her father.


“Just a job problem.” Fabian said then led his wife to sit on the sofa.


The man smiled brightly at Laura, “What did you bring today, dear?” Fabian was very enthusiastic about the lunch brought by his wife.


Laura who saw Fabian's behavior then smiled slightly, she did not answer the question. Laura chose to immediately open her lunchbox so that Fabian could see it straight away.


“Honey, I just passed Mia.” words Laura just managed to make Fabian stop his action in admiring the woman's cooking.


Fabian then looked at his wife, “Where?” asked Fabian curiously.


“Barusan in the elevator. It seems like he also wants to deliver lunch for Dad.” obviously Laura made Fabian upset instead of playing.


How dare that woman set foot in this office.
