CHAPTER 12

Since David entered the board of directors, the company's power is now starting to form two camps. Although Alan is also one of the other competitors, because of his status, of course, his position is the weakest among his brothers and cousins.

By the agreed decision, Alan was given a position that was not too conspicuous, in fact, he was not given special treatment like David and Robi. Robi has had enough because now he can work in a company owned by his family.

Working at Wijaya's company is actually to get and show his existence as the second son of the previous leader. All this time, his existence seemed to be disguised by Mayang.

Apart from that, Alan has another business that he built with his partner and is now starting to grow slowly. No one knows about it because he collects the remaining capital from his monthly allotment.

Even though the control is still under Mayang's control, the natural leader is Yustina, who is now controlling everything remotely.

This company was like a quiet battlefield, but they were slowly attacking each other.

"How is your job, Lan?"

"It's smooth, Bro. But sometimes there's always friction with other divisions."

"It must be David's doing. Do you need Brother and Adit to intervene?"

"No need, Bro."

"Tell me if you need help, even though you can't promise if you can do it or not. David is terrible."

"I'm sure you can do it."

"Hopefully. So far, I've only been able to keep an eye on him."

Robi tidied up his belongings, he intended to go home early this afternoon because he heard the terrible news about Amelia.

"Brother, want to go home?"

"Yeah, Amelia isn't feeling well."

"Let me take you, Bro."

"You don't have to, Adit will bring it, he's already waiting in the car."

"Ah ... I see. Be careful, Bro."

"Yeah, you too. Don't keep working overtime."

"Yes, Bro. I'll be home soon."

"Yes, Brother, go first. Bye ...."

"Bye."

Robi walks away, leaving Alan alone. Alan walked through his brother's room, everything seemed perfect.

"Just a moment ... after this, let me enjoy it," he muttered.

He smiled faintly when he saw the wedding photo frame of his brother and sister-in-law, his face flushed when he saw the happy smile visible on the faces of the two.

***

Beads of sweat dripped down Amelia's forehead. Although she initially intended to pretend, who would have thought that nausea would come back suddenly.

She stared at the flat object with two bright red lines that had been beautifully tucked away in a box, it was a gift she wanted to give to her husband. She also prepared fake pregnancy test results that were hard to get, thanks to the man's help.

The goal is now only one, survive in this marriage and will run away after successfully extracting Wijaya's wealth as possible.

Even though her husband is the successor, the financial control remains with Mayang and Yustina.

"Would you like me to make some more tea, madam?" asked Narsih.

"I want something fresh, and please make some strawberry juice."

"Very well, madam."

Narsih walked away, preparing the employer's order. Nausea came again, Amelia immediately vomited back the contents of her stomach until she felt relieved.

"Unlucky!" she cursed.

Amelia stroked her stomach, trying to calm the unborn baby, who seemed challenging to work with again. Luckily, she can breathe a sigh of relief because she will begin to reveal her pregnancy.

Amelia took a deep breath of air from the balcony of her room, looking up at the dusky sky that was already getting dark. She dreams of being able to unite with the man she loves and their child soon, enjoying their life with the money that has been collected from the Wijaya family.

From her balcony, she saw Robi's car had entered the yard. Amelia immediately lay down on her bed, trying to find sympathy for her husband with her suffering.

No need to wait long, Amelia heard the sound of footsteps coming towards her room, it must be Robi—she thought.

"Mel, honey." Robi immediately threw his bag on the bed, then approached his favorite wife.

"You've been running? Look at that, she's sweating a lot."

"I'm worried because Mrs. Narsih said you keep throwing up. Let's go to the hospital, or if we don't call Doctor Faisal, how about it?"

"Don't. Mommy doesn't like it when we use facilities other than the money you earn."

"I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable if you have to go or just call another doctor, okay?"

"Robi ... listen first."

"What?"

Amelia grabbed a few sheets of tissue, then wiped her husband's sweat. "Try to open the box first," she said, pointing to a box on the dresser.

"What is that?"

"Just open it, Honey."

Robi walked to the table and grabbed the box. "How come it's locked, Mel?"

"You have to try first to get the key."

Robin smiled faintly. "What do you want me to do?"

"Promise me, after seeing the contents in the box later, whatever I ask, you will do it."

"I'm curious. What's actually in it, anyway?"

"Promise first."

"Okay, promise. Come on, Mel ... don't make me curious like this."

Amelia gave a minor key to Robi, he immediately opened it out of curiosity. His hands trembled when he found the flat, two-lined object in the box.

"Mel, is this ... really?" he asked, still in disbelief.

"That's right, Robi. Just look at the results of the examination. I'm pregnant ...."

Robi grabbed the piece of paper, it was written that his wife was five weeks pregnant. Robi immediately ran to Amelia, he hugged his beloved wife tightly with tears.

"This isn't a dream, is it, honey?"

"No, honey ... I'm pregnant."

Robi turned to Amelia's stomach, he kissed and caressed his happily. "Honey, it's Daddy ..." he whispered as he sobbed again.

Amelia couldn't help but smile wryly. She felt sorry for Robi, who had so sincerely loved her. If only her love were still pure for Robi ... if only the child she was carrying was Robi's child, now she too could feel the happiness that Robi was feeling.

"Let's make sure we go back to the hospital, Mel."

"No need, Bi. I'm pregnant, really."

"I think I still doesn't believe it," he whispered as he hugged his wife again.

"Well ... now you must keep his promise first.

"What do you want, honey?"

Amelia grabbed something from inside and gave it to Robi.

"I want that, Robi."

Robin smiled faintly. "Anything for you and our child, honey."

Robi kissed his wife tenderly, trying to express the joy that was now welling up in his chest. Now he no longer needs to worry, the child in his wife's womb is a savior and a solid foundation to save his position.
