Best Mate at 25 Years Old

ryan's home

Time goes by quickly, Ryan finally returns from out of town. Bella was happy and a little nervous. He still remembers the phone he last did with Ryan and Lisa's voice being heard in the background. But Bella tries not to think about it too much and chooses to focus on the happiness that Ryan will soon return.

When Ryan finally arrived home, Bella immediately ran towards him and hugged him tightly. Ryan also looked happy to see Bella. They talk to each other about the latest news, about Ryan's trip and also about Bella who is busy making cakes. However, Bella could not help her anxious feelings and finally she expressed her concern about Lisa's voice being heard on the phone the last time they talked about.

“Ryan, I have to be honest. The last time we spoke, I heard Lisa's voice in the background. You two are out of town together, aren't you?” bella said slowly.

Ryan looked surprised and a little uncomfortable. “Eh, yes, we meet clients together, but that's just for work. You know I love you, Bella, and no one can take your place.”

Bella was relieved to hear that and they continued their conversation. However, Lisa's voice continues to annoy Bella. He tried to dispel the thought, but the more he tried, the stronger his feelings of jealousy became.

A few days later, Ryan asked her to accompany him to his office. Bella can't resist and ends up accompanying Ryan there. However, Bella feels uncomfortable when she meets Lisa. Lisa looks very beautiful and skilled, and Bella feels like she can't compete with Lisa in terms of job and beauty skills.

The atmosphere in the office became tense and awkward. Ryan tries to distract Bella by talking about their work and inviting her to lunch together. But Bella still felt uncomfortable. In his heart, he felt Ryan had not told him everything.

While they were having lunch, Lisa suddenly asked Bella, “Bella, were you not worried when Ryan was working with many women out of town?”

Bella was offended by Lisa's question and tried to answer casually, “Of course I was worried. But I know that Ryan loves me and he won't do anything that could hurt my heart.”

Then lisa tells the journey of lisa and ryan who enjoy special food from the area.

Bella was confused and a little angry after hearing Lisa's story. She can't deny that she feels jealous, even though she shouldn't. Bella knows that Ryan loves her and will never let anyone else into their relationship.

Thereafter...

Lisa leaves and ryan and Bella leave the office.

They are in a quiet and comfortable cafe in the city center. Small lights are gently lit on neatly arranged wooden tables. Outside, drizzling rain fell and soaked the pavement.

“Sorry Bella, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings,” Lisa said in a soft tone. “I just want to share an experience with you.”

Bella nodded, trying to calm herself. “I know, Lisa, I shouldn't feel like this.”

Ryan put his hand on Bella's. “Bella, I love you. I just want you.”

Bella smiled and held Ryan's hand. He knew that Ryan was telling the truth, but jealousy was hard to avoid.

“Already, let's eat,” Ryan said as he opened the menu.

They ordered food and drinks, then sat down waiting for the order to come. Bella is still quietly contemplating Lisa's story, trying to let go of her jealous feelings.

Suddenly, Ryan spoke. “Bella, did you know that Lisa actually already has a boyfriend?”

Bella surprised. “What? But he said—”

Bella was relieved to hear that. He smiled and tried to think of something else. “Thank you, Ryan. You always understand me.”

Their food arrived and they started eating and laughing. Bella is thrilled to be back with Ryan, and can't wait to spend another day with her boyfriend.

After eating, they took a walk around the city, enjoying the drizzling rain that was still falling. They stop at a bookstore, and Bella buys some old novels she wants to read.

“We have to go back home now,” Ryan said. “I've missed my own mattress.”

Bella nodded and they walked towards Ryan's car. They drove in silence, only the sound of rain and car horns could be heard. Bella muses about Lisa's story, but she feels calmer now. She knows that Ryan loves her and will never leave her for anyone else.

They finally arrive home, and Bella is relieved. He took out his books and began to read, while enjoying the tranquility of the night.

Ryan looked a little awkward hearing the question. He tries to calm Bella down and make sure that she doesn't have to worry about anything.

After lunch, Bella and Ryan return home.

As time passes, Ryan returns from out of town and reunites with Bella. However, ever since Bella hears Lisa's voice on Ryan's phone, their relationship feels a little strained and Bella feels suspicious of Ryan and Lisa. Although Ryan tries to make sure Bella that nothing has happened, Bella still cannot get rid of her doubts.

One day, as Ryan and Bella get ready to go to a formal event, Lisa comes to Ryan's office to give him a tie left in his car. Bella, waiting in the car, sees Lisa in and out of Ryan's office, raising her suspicions. When Ryan got into the car and saw Bella who looked a little agitated, he immediately asked, “There's something wrong, dear?”

Bella responds, “No, nothing wrong.”

But Ryan senses that something is bothering Bella. “You must be suspicious of Lisa,” Ryan said, trying to open the conversation.

Bella nodded slowly, “I don't know, maybe yes. I know maybe I'm overdoing it, but I can't get rid of my anxiety.”

Ryan grabbed Bella's hand and held her gently. “You don't have to worry, baby. Lisa is just a client that I have to meet in my work. I have worked with him for a long time and have a good working relationship. But I love you and only you are in my heart.”

Bella looks into Ryan's eyes and sees the honesty in them. He knows that Ryan is a trustworthy person and does love him. Finally, Bella took a deep breath and tried to let go of her anxiety.

“Thank you for telling me, Ryan. I know I have to trust you more,” said Bella.

Ryan smiled and kissed Bella. “We have to get together through this. And believe me, I will never forget our love.”

They continued their journey to the formal event with a deepening sense of relief and love for each other. Though Bella's suspicions are still there, she chooses to trust Ryan and let their love grow together.
