(Not) Forbidden Love

09. Tower Bridge

"What...?" Megan and Bella said together, they exchanged lyrics. Unlike Clara, he was happy, because his incitement was going to pay off.

"Don't like the time of Siti Nurbaya deh gradma, now it's modern, there is no play-match !" Omel Megan, she never got serious about talking to Alice, but Megan loved her grandmother. "Grandma know the story of Siti Nurbaya?"

"You're not so bad about the affairs of Megan's heart and women, even if the grandma match just you are the granddaughter of her friend this grandma, Clara, anyways you have been close" Alice said without the slightest guilt.

Bella who heard the matchmaking, felt there was another in her heart, felt not sincere with the matchmaking.

"No need for grandma, I already have a candidate"

"If indeed you already have a candidate, know the same grandma, and soon you are married" Alice continued to force

"Are you not sorry for us old? I also want to hold Megan's great-grandson" he said again with a face made sad.

"Yes, yes, I know, we're getting married in a year, she's still in college, so I have to wait for her to finish college" Megan said this time to really make Bella feel like a fire, his heart was hot to hear it.

"Bella's in the room, tired, willing to rest."

Without waiting for an answer from the others, Bella left the living room for her room.

"Udah ya grandma, I also want to rest, tired" Megan stood up to leave the living room.

"Well, remember Megan, if you don't get married in a year, then you'll have to take our match!"

Megan just nodded and headed to her room and left Clara disappointed.

"I really ask ma'af to you guys, like her Megan already has her own choice, I think earlier, she's still single" Alice really felt bad for her best friend.

"It's okay, the heart can't be forced, and if Megan isn't Clara's match, she has to take it" Akaylee said, rubbing her grandson's shoulder.

Although disappointed, but Clara could not do anything more, Megan had already made her choice, she only nodded her head when told to meikhlaskan.

After Megan and Bella's departure, they chatted about Alice and Akaylee's young life, and no longer talked about their grandchildren's arranged marriage plans.

They enjoy a long-standing togetherness with jokes and laughter and also eat together with just the three of them, after being satisfied, Akaylee and her granddaughter say goodbye to going home.

***

In the room, Bella really felt strange about herself, whether she was jealous of her own brother, even her tears were realized to have fallen in the corner of her eyes, imagining her brother would marry another woman.

"Am I crazy, because I don't have a lover at this age, it makes me a little.." Bella frustrated. "aahh"

"Oh heart, don't be foolish, don't defy destiny, "

With a chaotic feeling, Bella chose to write, pouring the anxiety of her heart in the beloved diary book.

"i thought that after being away from you, being able to kill this strange feeling in the heart, in fact, the further away you are, the more I miss you, the more you are present this miss is treated, I'm like a stupid woman, put my heart on my own brother, but I really can't control him, control my heart, may there be a way for me, either for me to be with you, or for me to give you, my dear brother, my dear brother, sometimes I ask, why should I be your sister, and why should I like you?, just that I don't know the answer, but sometimes this heart says, Your feelings are not wrong, you feel wrong, I don't know if I don't understand, I hope I'm not against destiny".

After finishing pouring out his heart, Bellapun kept his diary and headed to the bathroom to wash his face.

drrttt, drrttt, drrttt

Just sitting on the bed, Bella's phone suddenly rang.

"Yes brother"

"go out yuk!" take Megan.

"where?"

"Tower Bridge, I miss going there, we go tonight, now you take a break!"

Without being able to dodge, by force, Bella just agree to her brother's invitation.

For this, he will rest his body and heart first, because he feels tired, especially his heart and mind.

At six in the afternoon, Bella was awakened by the sound of her cellphone, it turned out Megan who contacted, telling her to get ready.Before seven o'clock they had left to the destination.

"Where are you, baby?" Lucia asked, she who just came home this afternoon from business with her husband, sitting in the family room together with her husband and in-laws.

"Sir Megan took a walk ma, tomorrow she wants to go back"

"Yes, be careful, don't be too late!"

"Yes ma" they say goodbye, Bella kisses everything in the living room, while Megan just saying goodbye.

Arriving at the destination, they park the car where it should be, then go out and sit on a bench facing the river.

There is clearly a bridge that stretches over the river, where the bridge combines two bridge designs that lift and hang, the lower bridge will be lifted if there are ships that will pass through it.

"sister!"

"heum"

"You want to get married? same who?" Finally there was also a question that disturbed him.

Megan glanced at Bella at a glance, then smiled "Yes, she's still in college, you have to wait patiently for her graduation to finish"

Take a deep breath and exhale slowly, "But you don't know if you want to be with your sister or not"

"Who is that girl?" taking a breath, holding back the disappointment, because he hoped that what Megan said this afternoon was just a lie, but in reality, it was real.

"Later you will know too"

"If the sister of the marriage, must not love again the same Bella, and could be forgotten the same sister" Unwittingly, her tears just dripped, she swiftly rubbed it from her cheek, she said, so that Megan doesn't see her sadness.

Hearing her sister's voice a little raucous, Megan turned her head and looked at Bella's face, under the light of the temaran lights, but still can be seen clearly a clear liquid dripping on the corner of the sister's face.

"Hey, why cry?" Megan cupped Bella's cheeks with both palms, making them look at each other, making Bella even more sobbing.

"Don't cry! sister will marry the girl you like, and sister won't get married if you don't like the girl who will be your sister-in-law!"

Megan hugged the sister from the side, leaning Bella's head against her shoulder, making her clothes slightly wet by Bella's tears.

"Sister promises to always love you, with whom you are married, you will never forget you, my crybaby sister"

Suddenly Bella raised her head because she said that she was a crybaby "it's good to say crybaby, huh" Bella blurted her lips, and the atmosphere melted a little.

"Not to say anymore, look at my sister's clothes, wet because of your snot" Megan also showed her clothes were wet, and then laughed.

"ish, it wasn't snot, but tears" Bella sulked by folding her hand over her chest like a child.

"Well, right?, I'm also crying, meaning that his name is crybaby" Megan also rubbed her index finger on Bella's nose.

"Jajan yuk!" Megan pulls Bella's hand when she gets a nod from Bella, and in the end, they spend time like never before, with laughter, even chasing each other on the bridge, and forgetting for a moment each other's feelings.

if people pay attention, then they will consider them a very romantic partner.

"Sister, it's late, go home yuk! eventually, my mom gets angry!"

And sure enough, when she looked at her fancy watch, Megan was a little surprised because the clock had shown at half twelve in the night.

Although both heavy-hearted, but in the end they agreed to go home.

"Tomorrow big brother back, and will not meet again in a long time, surely Bella misses big sister very much"

"Do you miss your sister?"

"Yes, it's big brother, who doesn't miss his sister?"

"Sister doesn't miss you, but misses you more than you feel" Megan said honestly.

They continued to talk until they did not feel the car had entered the elite residential area.

"Back-back yeah, you be careful here, and don't be too trusting of others" Megan kissed her sister's forehead then hugged her tightly.

"Tania, please take good care of my sister!" Megan said to a woman behind Bella, She's a bodyguard for Bella.

"Good sir"

Megan waved and turned around leaving Bella and her aide.

"We're back, miss?" Bella just nodded.

Sa'at walked towards the car, someone called him.

"Miss Bella?" Someone stretched out her hand. "How's Miss Arabella Hernandez doing?"

"Yes" With a feeling of confusion, because he did not know the person, Bella still welcomed the helping hand. "I'm Arabella Stewart, ma'af, maybe you got the wrong guy!" Bella.

"I'm not wrong, we've been looking for you for a long time, miss, but you just found this lady" said the man, nodding politely. "lady misses you so much Miss Bella".

"What's? madam?" Bella furrowed her brows not understanding, how could her mother miss her, while the mother was with her all this time
