Reddick and Bellina were shocked. That's a weird question.
"What's the matter mom? Why do you ask me that?" bellina asked in wonder.
"You guys ... pretend to be married, right?" asked the mother with a voice and trembling body. It seemed like the words he said shook my own mother's feelings.
Hearing this Bellina's eyes widened flabbergasted. Reddick was surprised.
"You're not married for love, are you?" ask the mother again who made the atmosphere in this treatment room turn sad. Again, she asked with a trembling voice. Moreover, his eyeballs looked glazed. Sad mom.
"W-what did you say?" bellina asked in denial.
"Mom knows Son. I heard what the two of you were talking about" said the mother. This time even the mother's tears seemed to drip. "This mother ..." Mother was crying too.
"Mother ..." Bellina began to tear up. Reddick tightened the molars to endure the pain of seeing the two grieve.
"Bellina didn't do it on purpose" Reddick said.
"Lion!" sergeant Bellina who still doesn't want mom to know that they're married pretend. He doesn't want to confess.
"You ... Uhuk! Uhuk!" Because it forced me to talk a lot, my mother started coughing.
"Mom should rest. Don't say much" Reddick ordered as he approached the head of the bed, then helped the mother place her back comfortably. After that, get some water for mom. "Mom drink." Deftly and attentively Reddick treats the mother
Suddenly, she had trouble breathing again.
"Mother! Lion!" Bellina panicked again.
"Call doctor Bellina!" shout Reddick.
Bellina was panicking. He can't do anything. Hearing the screams from their boss, the person outside came in.
"What's up, sir?" askthem.
"Call doctor! Hurry along!" shout Reddick. They nodded. Through the nurse call, the bodyguard contacted the nurse who was directly connected to the doctor.
...***...
Doctors and nurses are already treating the mother inside the treatment room. Everyone is expected to come out first.
Bellina moved away from the door of the nursery. He rubbed his face in annoyance while staring at the glass wall. Reddick. After that he approached. Bellina turned her body to face this man.
"I'm Teledor Lion. I've been tucked away" Bellina said regretfully. He tried to hold back the anger.
"We, Bellina. We're both banged up" said Reddick, who doesn't want this woman to blame herself.
"Mom knows everything. How'this?" bellina asked unsettled.
"Mom's okay, Bellina."
"I ... I'm the cause of declining mother's health. It must be because he heard everything we talked about,” Bellina said.
“Maybe.”
"Then how's Lion?" bellina asked as she touched Reddick's arm.
"We'll just wait for the health of the doctor's mother."
"I ... I ..." Bellina sobbed while holding her arm. Reddick took this woman's hand off her arm. Hugged her. Bellina's crying became.
...***...
After a few days, my health recovered. This was faster than the doctor expected. Even mom can come home tomorrow. It was shocking and magical. That was a happy thing for Bellina.
"What about your pretend marriage?" ask your mother when they visit.
"Don't talk about it again, Mother," prevent Bellina. He didn't want to see Mom like that.
"So you can't tell Mom what happened? That so?" asked mom disapproved Bellina was reluctant to talk about it.
"It's not mom." Bellina was at a loss for words.
"Then what?" seloroh.
"Mom is okay. I want to know, and I'm okay" she said.
"But ..." Bellina still doesn't want to reveal everything.
"Mom should know the truth, Bellina." Mom said it seriously. Bellina could no longer argue. She finally tells mom about her story with the man she introduced as husband.
"So you guys got married because of Reddick's trapped mother?" ask her to try to understand her story.
"Yes." Yeah." Bellina nodded her head. It seems like even though Bellina wanted to cover up, mother would not believe it. Bellina had to admit.
"It's only natural that they do. The family wants to get rid of you who are the rightful heir to your husband's estate" Mother said.
"When I don't want Reddick's treasure, Mother. I'm only using the property I have because of work at Reddick's company."
"Mom understands, Son. I know who you are."
Reddick felt guilty. What did he do to ignore Bellina and her mother? A thousand regrets entered his heart.
"You must have suffered in the game of Bellina's father-in-law. You must be in trouble. Forgive mom and Bellina," the mother told Reddick sincerely.
"No Mother. I don't have any trouble at all. I'm doing fine. Despite the pretend marriage, I actually love Bellina, Mom," Reddick said seriously.
Bellina was surprised not to play. He who sat in the chair, looked up. Then looked at this man stunned. Mom glanced at her daughter. He's understood.
"Mom knows you're a good man. If it wasn't a nice guy, you wouldn't treat Bellina and mom like this. You definitely won't care" said the mother with a smile. Mystery smile.
"Mother ..." Bellina hugged mom. "I'm sorry mom ..."
Mother patted her daughter's back with a sad feeling.
"You're heavy, my daughter. I'm sorry I made you suffer, too," said Mother, making Bellina take off her arms.
"No. Mother didn't make Bellina suffer. Don't say it like that mom ...." Bellina's tears kept on breaking. Mother's outstretched hand wiped the tears that had dripped down her daughter's cheek.
"It's lucky you met this good-looking man" said the mother, pointing at Reddick with her eyeballs. Bellina only glanced for a moment after wiping away her tears.
...***...
Mom wants to rest. They both chose to go home. Reddick's car runs on the asphalt quietly, but the atmosphere in the car is quite the opposite. Although Bellina did not say anything, Reddick felt depressed. Hunch says something's gonna happen any minute.
"What did you say to mom earlier, Lion?" ask Bellina. Reddick looked at it for a moment. Then look straight ahead. Bellina looked at Reddick sharply.
"Tell me what?"
"On you who love me" Bellina replied firmly.
"What do I need to say?" reddick asked still staring straight at the street in front of him.
"Why are you saying such a strange thing? We are not married for business. You're helping. That's it," Bellina said.
"Yes. I'm helping you."
"Then what did you say to Mom? It would make me misunderstand. I can bother later," Bellina said annoyedly. Reddick pulled the car over. He breathed before speaking.
"Why do you bother, if you misunderstand?"
"Hey, Lion. We're not getting married for real, are we? If you think you're good because you love me, you'll find it hard to let go of you as her daughter-in-law. I'm going to keep pushing me to stay married to you" Bellina pointed annoyed at Reddick with her eyeballs.
Hearing this Reddick smiled. She's happy.
"What if what I say is honesty. What if that's my true feeling for you?"
"You told me that this marriage is pure, because you want to help me.”
"I can't help you if I don't love you, Bell. I say again, I love you" Reddick said with warm eyes. He stared inside Bellina who was widening her eyeballs.
