Airin gazes into the large mirror before her. The reflection vividly displays the beauty of the makeup that now adorns her face. However, it all feels futile as it doesn't align with what she truly feels.Doubts keep enveloping her. Despite Fachri repeatedly assuring that everything will be fine, that everything will go smoothly according to their plans. Fachri promises to always protect and cherish her. He pledges to be a good father to Via, even though he's not her biological father."Every couple about to get married always faces obstacles. There's always doubt in the heart, especially shadows of the past, making everything feel so heavy. But trust me, everything will be okay as long as it's done with a sincere heart. I see Fachri genuinely loves you. Yes, even though his status is a widower with a child, at least his love for you is whole," says Airin's younger sister, who has just graduated from high school.The girl was instructed to fetch her sister to the room but found an unu

Bitter, with a slightly spicy sensation, and a bit sticky in the throat. However, all of that wasn't a problem at the moment. After finishing one glass of the concoction, Fachri felt his body warm and light. Deciding to take a shower, even though the night was quite late.After a cold shower, Fachri sat back against the head of the bed, playing with his phone while waiting for Airin to finish her shower.Skipping a day without checking the messages in every chat application, Fachri shook his head. He looked through the chat content in each group there. As usual, bored and idle students would tag their friends to join, throwing jokes around to relieve boredom.It was a habit for Fachri to read each chat from fellow students one by one to drive away boredom due to having nothing to do. Sleep? He was very sleepy before, but now it seemed to be gone. His eyes were so clear, and his body felt very light."Dear, haven't you slept yet?"Airin, who had just finished showering, was quite surpr

Airin sighed in relief as she opened her eyes and saw Fachri right in front of her. The man seemed to be asleep after enjoying their first night together, still holding her tightly.A corner of Airin's lips lifted, remembering how Fachri gave meaning to true love without any coercion or violence. She longed for such touches again.It was nothing like the past with Zidan—forced and rushed. She was also left alone without any news.Fachri? He had many opportunities to take their relationship to the next level, countless ones. Especially since she recovered from the operation. He took care of everything completely. From bathing to dressing her, treating the surgical scars, and pumping breast milk for Via. All without any hidden motives.Fachri did it when they were truly recognized as a married couple. It wasn't easy for him to claim his rights as a husband, even though he was used to touching and seeing every inch of her body.A man who respected the honor of the woman he loved. Fachri

Meanwhile, Fachri got absorbed in his work, correcting several thesis chapters and returning them to the respective owners once completed.Unbeknownst to them, the bedroom door remained unlocked, and a young girl now stood in front of the door, preparing to call them.Creak.The door handle was pressed. Fachri immediately turned towards the sound. His eyes widened seeing the bedroom door slowly opening."Sister Airin!"Aisya, Airin's younger sister, was startled. She saw clearly what was in front of her, completely exposed without any barrier. Airin's heart pounded as Aisya observed what she was doing. Even Via cried out in surprise upon hearing the voice of the eighteen-year-old girl."Why, Sya?" Airin's mother quickly approached Aisya, who suddenly closed the bedroom door. She was supposed to call Airin and Fachri since there were distant guests who had come to meet them."T-That... oh, Mom. I don't want to talk about it." Aisya rubbed her chest, still shocked by what she had just s

"You scoundrel, Zidan!" Airin cursed, spitting in front of Zidan due to his audacious sudden attempt to kiss her."I want to meet your husband. I want you to ask him for me. You belong to me, Rin," Zidan said as he wiped off Airin's spit with his hand. His gaze remained gentle despite Airin's impoliteness."I will never introduce my husband to you. I will never, ever, no matter what threats or harm you do to me. I will never be afraid because I don't want to lose my kind and loving husband just the way he is." Airin emphasized each word that came out of her lips.Though not in love with Fachri, Airin could never live without him. She wouldn't be at this point, and he had become a strong foundation for her to endure by his side."Why don't you want to? Don't you want to be with me again? Don't you love me anymore, Rin?" Zidan asked with a heavy and hoarse voice, revealing his regret for hurting Airin.Airin shook her head. "I don't care about love. I also refuse to love a scoundrel lik
