Andre To Bella

14.


Mommy Stella's warm smile and Papi Alex welcome the arrival of their new son and daughter-in-law, Mommy Stella even directly hugged Bella, like hugging her two daughters, Emira and Girlya.


Getting such a sincere treatment, making Bella can no longer hold back the pace of her tears.


“Do not feel guilty, Jonathan's accident is not your fault at all,” Whisper mommy Stella, he rubbed Bella's head as Bella grew sobbing from hearing every sentence.


“Come, you have to eat and restore your energy, then you can face reality.” 


Andre pulled one of the chairs for his wife.


Breakfast was quiet, there was nothing important they talked about but small talk.


Suddenly Stella's sight was fixed on Bella's fingers, no more rings there, “where is your ring son?” ask mommy Stella.


Bella was surprised to hear the question of Stella's mommy, then the temple noticed her hand, moments before leaving the apartment Bella accidentally removed the ring and hid it in her pants pocket, either arrived Bela did not want to wear it. “eh, that was last night I took it off when I took a shower mom, and I forgot to put it back on.”


Stella smiled, “other times not to forget well, however, the ring is an emblem, which will bind you for life.” mommy Stella clasped Bella's hand.


Bella nodded in understanding.


And Andre is sitting next to him.


“Whatever's behind your marriage,” Papi Alex starts talking, “but as you once told Kevin and Gadisya, now you'll tell you, too,” Papi Alex stared intently at Andre and Bella. “wedding is a sacred thing, not something to be played with, and the papi message is still the same as before, until papi breathes his last, papi will not give blessing for a divorce.”


Andre and Bella nodded.

The sun is so hot shining on the universe, even the wind was hot, summer in Singapore was burning skin.


Dozens of mourners were present to take Jonathan away, many of Jonathan's friends even expressed their condolences to Bella, in contrast to Jonathan's family who still stared cynically at Bella.


Even until the funeral was over, none of Jonathan's family greeted Bella.


But no matter how much love he now feels for his lover, and no matter how hard they try to get to the relationship, God does not want to make Jonathan mate with Bella, Bella, that's why their marriage never happened.


Until a few thirty minutes passed, Bella still sat and cried in front of Jonathan's grave, actually Andre who was still faithfully standing next to Bella, feeling unwilling, he said, seeing a woman who is now his wife, but crying over the death of another man, but Andre does not want to be selfish, he used to make Bella sad, even the heart to make Bella cry.


Andre's phone rang, but his number was unknown, he stepped aside for a moment to receive the call.


“Halo.” answer her.


“True this host number andre?”


“Iya's right, what's up?”


“Sorry sir, we are from the police team that yesterday evacuated the car belonging to the late Jonathan ..”

By late afternoon, they had just left the funeral.


"I'm going somewhere, do you want to come?" Andre asked, when they were in the car, after leaving the funeral.


 


Bella did not glance at the whereabouts of her husband, she just stared at the streets they now passed.


"Take me to my parents' house, whatever you want to go after, I don't want to know where you're going and what you're going to do."


Bella's reply reminded Andre of her attitude first.


But now …


Cold, that's how Andre feels, somehow he hopes Bella will come back like she used to. 


In the past, Andre never liked when Bella asked a lot about her, what she would do, where, and what needs, especially if Bella asked about her activities with Mely.
