Best Mate at 25 Years Old
a gift to our little family
Time has shown at 10pm and Bella is sitting alone on the living room couch. Ryan hasn't come back from his office. Actually, Ryan was supposed to be home by 7pm, but he told Bella that he had to drive Lisa, his co-worker, home first. Bella is feeling a bit anxious because Ryan hasn't told her whereabouts yet. He tried to contact Ryan but was not picked up.
A few minutes later, Bella decides to look at Ryan's phone she left on the table. After opening the phone, Bella saw a Whatsapp message from Lisa with a call dear “Ian”. Bella becomes suspicious and feels uncomfortable. He had never heard Ryan called “Ian” before, and worse, the affectionate call came from Ryan's co-worker whom he had always suspected since he first met her.
Bella was angry and sad. He doesn't know what to do. Does he have to call Ryan and show him the message or wait for Ryan to come home and ask him directly? Bella decides to wait for Ryan to come home and find out the reason behind the call.
After half an hour, Bella hears the sound of Ryan's car entering the garage. He goes to the door to meet Ryan, who looks exhausted after a long day of work. However, before Bella could open her mouth, Ryan said, “I'm sorry, baby. Lisa has a problem, so I have to accompany her home.”
Bella is shocked and upset that Ryan didn't tell her about it. However, she tries to stay calm and pulls out Ryan's phone showing a message from Lisa. Ryan looked surprised at the phone and tried to explain that the call meant nothing and was just a habit in the office.
Bella doesn't know if she should trust Ryan's explanation or not. He felt hurt and uncomfortable with the situation. “Why didn't you tell me?” ask her with a annoyed tone.
Ryan apologizes and says that he doesn't want to make Bella worry. “I just want to solve Lisa's problem as soon as possible,” Ryan said.
Bella is still unsure. He tries to explain his feelings to Ryan. “I felt uncomfortable when I saw that message. I feel you are hiding something from me,” he said.
Ryan tries to convince Bella that she is not hiding anything from him. However, Bella still felt uncertain and anxious. He doesn't know what to do next. Does he have to trust Ryan or find out the truth from Lisa? He felt trapped in a complicated conflict and did not know how to resolve it.
Bella sat alone on the sofa, letting her mind drift far away. He was still thinking about what he saw on Ryan's phone the night before, a message from Lisa calling Ryan with a call dear “Ian”. Bella knew she wasn't supposed to see the message, but she couldn't avoid her curiosity.
Now, Bella pondered, trying to find answers to her anxieties and worries. He knows that Ryan and Lisa are ex-ryans, but he's never felt this anxious before. He knew that he had to confront Ryan and talk honestly about his feelings, but he was afraid of the consequences of that conversation.
After a while, Ryan finally arrived home. Bella tried to smile when she saw Ryan, but her heart felt heavy. Ryan sees Bella and tries to kiss her, but Bella dodges.
“There is wrong?” ask Ryan.
Bella shook her head, “No, just a little tired.”
“You sure?” Ryan asked again.
Bella nodded, “Yes, I'm fine.”
They sat together on the sofa, but the atmosphere became awkward. Bella tries to find the courage to speak, but words do not come out of her mouth.
“Do you want to watch a movie?” Ryan asked, trying to distract.
Bella nodded, “Ya, that's good.”
They chose the movie and watched it together. But Bella can't concentrate on the film, her mind still on Lisa's message. He felt lost, not knowing what to do.
After the film ends, Ryan tries to talk to Bella again. “You said you were tired, maybe you need a break.”
Bella shook her head, “No, I still want to talk to you.”
Ryan felt a little relieved hearing that, “About what?”
Bella sighed and finally spoke, “I saw a message from Lisa on your phone. She calls you with call dear ‘Ian’.”
Ryan was silent for a moment, visibly surprised by Bella's confession. “Oh,” he said finally, “That's because we used to have a call code like that when we were still in touch”.
Bella felt a little relieved hearing that, but still felt unsure. “Are you sure nothing happened between you and Lisa?”
Ryan was feeling a little annoyed, “Of course not, Bella. Lisa is my best friend, but I just love you.”
Bella looked Ryan in the eye and was relieved. She knows that she can trust Ryan and she feels grateful to have him in her life. They smile at each other and kiss each other, celebrating their love.

After a few days, Bella began to feel pain, loss of appetite and difficulty thinking clearly.
Ryan was worried about Bella's condition getting worse and worse. “Bella, you don't look well. What the hell's going on? Are you sick?” tanyanya's worried.
Bella tries to smile, “It's okay, Ryan. I just feel a little tired.”
Ryan doesn't believe in Bella's excuse, “Bella, I know you're more than that. What happened?”
Bella was a little scared to tell me what was really going on. “Ryan, I just feel a little anxious about our relationship. I saw a message from Lisa on your phone, and it made me worry.”
Ryan felt relieved after finding out what made Bella feel sad, “Bella, you don't have to worry about Lisa. He's just an old friend of mine. I love you, Bella, and you are the only one in my heart.”
Bella felt a little relieved after hearing the words from Ryan, “Thank you, Ryan. I trust you.”
Ryan kissed Bella's forehead gently, “Don't worry anymore, Bella. I'm here for you and I've always loved you.”
Bella felt calm after hearing the words from Ryan and felt better. She decides not to think about Lisa anymore and focuses on their relationship.
A few days later, Bella felt better and healthier again. He started working again and enjoyed his time with Ryan. They do the things they love together and Bella is happy.
One night, as they sat in front of the fireplace, Ryan said, “Bella, I know you were worried about Lisa before. But, I want you to know that I love you, Bella. You are the one who makes me happy and I cannot imagine my life without you.”
Bella is happy to hear the words from Ryan and kiss him gently, “I love you too, Ryan. You made my life better and I don't want to lose you.”
Ryan and Bella then continue their night together, enjoying the time they have together. They spent the night laughing and talking about their future together.
Eventually, Bella learns to trust Ryan and not think about Lisa anymore. They stay happy together and love each other every day.

Ryan walked into the room with a worried heart. He saw Bella who was lying weakly on the bed with a gloomy and lethargic face. Ryan knew that Bella was being overwhelmed with anxiety. He sat down next to Bella, took her hand and rubbed gently.
"Bella, I'm worried about you. You need to talk to me" Ryan said in a soft voice.
Bella looked at Ryan with her pretty eyes. He felt the warmth of Ryan's hand and it made him feel better. "Ryan, I can't help my anxious feelings anymore. I keep thinking about Lisa and her relationship with you. I'm afraid you left me for her" Bella said in a soft voice.
Ryan clasped Bella's hand tighter and said, "Bella, you know that I love you, and I will never leave you for anyone. You are a person who means a lot to me and I will always be there for you."
Bella smiled faintly at Ryan's words. He felt relieved and calm. However, his anxiety did not just disappear. Ryan knows that, and he's trying to do something to make Bella feel better.
"How about we spend time together and do something we love?" ask Ryan.
Bella nodded weakly. "Alright" he answered.
Ryan got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to help Bella get up. They walked together out of the room and into the living room. Ryan opens a box containing a board game and shows Bella a game of chess.
"Can we play chess together?" ask Ryan.
Time passed by so quickly, and they continued to play until nightfall. Ryan got up from his seat and picked up a cup of tea for Bella.
"How are you feeling now, Bella?" ask Ryan gently.
Bella looked at Ryan and said, "I feel better now. Thank you for being with me and making me feel calmer."
Ryan smiled and kissed Bella. "I'm always there for you, Bella. You know that."
They hugged and kissed each other. Bella was very happy in Ryan's arms. He knew that he had someone who always supported him and loved him. They are happy to be together and spend time together.

Bella feels very beautiful and sexy while wearing her favorite red lingerie. He used it to seduce Ryan who was in his room. Ryan was sitting on the bed, reading a book when Bella walked into the room.
“Night, dear,” said Bella with a sweet smile.
“Night, dear too. Well, you are so beautiful tonight,” reply Ryan while looking at Bella with love.
Bella was delighted to hear Ryan's praise, so she approached Ryan and sat down next to him on the bed. They joke and make out while watching a romantic movie that is being played on television.
Suddenly Bella grabs the book Ryan is reading and throws it aside. Ryan hugged Bella with affection. They looked at each other and their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Ryan kissed Bella's neck and her right hand began to grope the top of Bella's thigh. Bella bit her lip and grabbed her body towards Ryan. They began to seduce and kiss with passion, gradually getting more intense.
Until they finally stopped and smiled at each other with satisfaction. Bella gets tired and throws herself on the bed, while Ryan clasps her hand tightly and sits next to her.
“You're tired huh, babe?” ryan asked while stroking Bella's sweaty hair.
“Yes, I'm tired,” replied Bella with a smile of fatigue.
“You take a break or dinner first?” ryan asked as he looked at Bella affectionately.
“I'm hungry, maybe we can eat first,” replied Bella with a tired smile.
Ryan and Bella then get up and get out of the room heading to the kitchen for dinner. In the kitchen, they enjoyed the dishes that Bella had prepared beforehand. They told me about their activities that day and laughed together.
After dinner, they return to the room and Ryan helps Bella unzip the red lingerie she wears. Bella then put on her pajamas and lay on the bed with her eyes getting heavier.
Ryan lies down next to Bella and embraces her affectionately. They looked at each other with their hands holding each other and began to feel sleepy.
“Good sleep yes, baby,” Ryan said as he kissed Bella on the forehead.
“Iya, you also yes,” reply Bella while smiling towards Ryan.
They both slept in each other's arms. The atmosphere of the room became so calm and silent, only the sound of their regular breathing and

Bella felt something different about her body, she felt some symptoms like nausea and fatigue that continued for several days. Bella tries to ignore the symptoms, assuming that it's just because she's overworked, lately. However, one night, Bella feels very unwell and decides to buy a pregnancy test kit at a nearby pharmacy.
Bella couldn't wait to check the results, so she decided to do the test as soon as she got home. After a few minutes of waiting, the results came out and Bella was surprised to see two red lines clearly visible on the pregnancy test kit. She felt mixed up, happy and a little scared, as she never imagined that she would become a mother.
Bella felt palpitations when she finally decided to tell Ryan that she was pregnant. They had talked about having a child before, but the fact that she was now completely pregnant made her feel a little anxious.
Ryan and Bella were at their favorite restaurant when Bella decided to reveal the big news. They are having a romantic dinner and the quiet ambience of the restaurant gives a perfect intimate feel.
“Ryan,” said Bella in a soft voice while looking into Ryan's eyes, “I have good news for you.”
Ryan was curious and wondered about what Bella wanted to say.
“What is it, baby?” ryan asked with a smile.
Bella took napkin and began to slowly wipe her lips. He felt nervous and it was hard to find the right words to reveal this news.
“I..I'm pregnant, Ryan,” said Bella finally.
Ryan was surprised and his eyes widened. He could say nothing but surprise.
“You're serious?” ask Ryan.
“Yes, I've checked with the doctor and he made sure of that. We will have a baby,” Bella replied with a happy smile on her face.
Ryan took Bella's hand and kissed her softly.
“This is the best news I've ever heard, Bella. I'm so happy,” Ryan said with a big smile.
Bella was relieved and happy to hear Ryan's reaction. They talk about how their lives will change with the presence of a new baby and plan their future together.
A few weeks later, Ryan and Bella went to the obstetrician to check on the health of their fetus. They were very happy when they heard a healthy baby's heartbeat and saw their first ultrasound image.
Meanwhile, Bella begins to feel the symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea and persistent fatigue. Ryan notices the changes in Bella's body and tries to help her by handling household chores and cooking.
“Hai dear, how are you feeling today?” ryan asked as Bella was sitting on the sofa stroking her stomach.
“I feel tired and nauseous again, but I will be fine,” replied Bella.
Ryan hugged Bella and kissed her head.
“Don't worry, I'll always be there for you. We will live this together,” Ryan said affectionately.
Bella feels so grateful to have Ryan always supported and cared for her during their pregnancy. They keep talking about their baby and planning their future together.*

Ryan grabbed Bella's hand and whispered, “I'm so happy, baby. We're going to be a beautiful family.”
However, Bella still felt anxious and scared about the future. She spoke softly, “I'm worried about Lisa. I don't want any drama between us and I don't want him to separate us.”
Ryan hugged Bella tightly and said firmly, “Don't worry about Lisa, dear. He has no place in my heart. You and your baby are the most important thing to me. We will be together and through everything together.”
