Chapter 5 5. CHAPTER FIVE

His face now looks serious. He thought about how to find Bella. "Where is Bella? Is she at her parents' house. If she is there. I have to go to that disgusting village. Huh!" Bara said in his heart. He tried to call Bella again. Who knew the phone could suddenly be picked up by Bella. Bara's finger touched the cellphone screen. He called his wife in the hope of speaking to her. After a few seconds the call was answered. Bara immediately looked relieved. "Bella, where are you now?" "You don't have to look for me. I'm where it's my business, not your business," Bella answered coldly.

"Are you all right?" Bara asked doubtfully. "Yeah I'm fine." "Thank goodness, where are you? I'll catch up with you. I want to talk to you, Bel," Bara said in a pleading voice. "You don't have to meet me," Bella said and quickly hung up the phone. Just a sad face. "Unlucky!" cursed Bara angrily. "Why is he so stubborn," said Bara, slapping the dining table. Mirna who was walking towards the dining room heard the sound. "Astaghfirullah! What's wrong, Mas Bara? I'm surprised! Mas," "You quickly clean up this food. I'm going to leave for a while. You take care of the house, OK?" Bara ordered jutek. Mirna could only shake her head in resignation as she watched her master walk away.

Hmm . . . How come you're so handsome, huh?" Mirna whispered for a moment.

"You don't want to just go home, son?" asked a mother to her child. Bella shook her head while looking out the window at the expanse of green rice fields. "How are you, Bella. You don't want to tell your household problems. You also don't want to go to your husband's house. Mother is confused. Try telling your mother. Who knows, mother can help you," suggested the mother to make a woman with a long hijab it turned towards its mother. "Mom, Bella is afraid to tell you. Bella just doesn't want to indulge in Mas Bara's disgrace. Bella is afraid of being a disobedient wife, ma'am" "MashaAllah dear. It's good if you think like that. But you are also wrong if you have to be here and don't want to go home," said the mother while holding her children's arms. Bell looked down sadly. She wanted to go home to her beloved husband's arms. But what power fate can not grant it at this time. It was obvious her husband didn't love her. "Bella wants to go back to Mas Bara's house, Mom. But Bella hurts, Mom. Mas Bara is really mean to Bella," said the woman with tears in her eyes. "Be patient, son," the mother hugged her child gently. "Everything must have a way. If you really have to feel pain. Hopefully your pain will pay off later. You have to be strong dear. Even though you don't want to tell me what problems are going on in your household. But I just want to give a message. You have to be patient about everything you are facing right in front of your eyes. Remember! The devil is always tempting in the household. The devil's deception really gives. Don't neglect your worship. You understand what I mean, mother?" Bella could only nod. He already understood his mother's advice. The reason is that he often confides in his mother about family problems and his mother always gives him advice. Whatever the problem, do not let the word divorce. Because the devil is considered successful if he has succeeded in divorcing a husband and wife. Bella shuddered when she remembered her mother's advice some time ago. He also did not want a divorce with Bara at all. Because Bara is a magical love for him. In the past, Bara was an upperclassman that Bella really liked secretly. Year after year until they meet again. Then Bara suddenly proposed to Bella. How magical love is. Bella didn't expect that at the time.

Drizzle at night in a small village makes the air feel cold. The light rain made Bella's eyes not want to move from the window. He continued to look at the silent rice fields with dim lights far away. His heart felt comfortable seeing the beauty of the universe. He was grateful that his eyes could still meet the beautiful painting in front of him. Bella's eyes suddenly opened wide. She saw her husband's car approaching her parents' yard. Bella's heart skipped a beat. Can he contain his emotions for now?

Bab 7

What are you doing here, Mas?" I asked seeing Mas Bara who had just set foot on the terrace of the house. "Bella?" Mas Bara approached me. I just got off my feet. I never want to be around a traitor like him. "I'm here to pick you up," said Mas Bara softly. "I just want to be here," I replied with a jutek. Mas Bara sat on a wooden chair. He took a slow breath and exhaled. Was he trying not to get emotional at my mom's house? "Mom will be home later. You should be at Bella's house. What would you say if you weren't home?" "Mama want to come home?" I asked in disbelief. I also feel sorry for Nama when I go home and not there. He will definitely be sad and look for me. "Yes, for that we have to go home right now," said Mas Bara half firmly. I glanced confused while holding my forehead. In the middle of a fight between me and Mas Bara. Why did Mama have to come to the house? "Hey, there you Bara. How come you didn't tell me, Bel," said the mother casually. The woman with the long veil walked closer to Mas Bara.

It's been a while huh, Bar?" Mas Bara reflexively stood up and kissed my mother's hand. "Just a moment, ma'am," Bara replied, scratching the back of his head. He looked doubtful. Maybe Mas Bara thought I had told my mother about his affair. "Okay, then I'll make you a drink first," said the mother, holding Mas Bara's arm and then went inside. I saw Mas Bara who looked down with a huff. I'm sure he's uncomfortable. "Don't worry Mr. I'm not going to tell you about cheating on me," I said soothing Mas Bara. "Sorry, Bella, I can't be honest," said Mas Bara then swallowed his saliva. Thinking about Mama again. I try to suppress my emotions. My body tried to sit next to Mas Bara. "What did Mama say?" I asked flatly without looking at it. “Mama just said that she was going home and also said that she missed us both. I hope you don't disappoint Mama,” Mas Bara looked hopeful.
